BEAUTIFUL COOS BAY COUNTRY A Section Rich in Material Resources Invites the Attention of the Farmer, the Miner and the Homeseeker. Unparelled in Location—The Gateway to the Orient—Unsurpassed Deep Water Harbor— Soil and Climate and Natural Advantages Make Coos Bay an Ideal Place to Build a Home and Lay the Foundation of a Fortune. One who notices the trend of activity as indicated by periodical literature, commercial and railroad reports, must concede that the eyes of the world are at this time turned towards the Pacific Coast. Oregon gained an advantage by the Lewis and Clark Fair because previous to that time it had neglected to advertise itself, therefore the element of astonishment was added with regard to Oregon to that of the pleasure over the showing from the whole Pacific Coast. And if this was true in reference to the whole state, much more so was it in regard to that part of it, the Coos Bay country, up to this time almost "terra incognita" to all but its own inhabitants. Perhaps the most universally commented upon and admired feature of the Fair was the compact and beautiful Coos County building, which called the more attention to itself as the only county in the state to have a building of its own. Since that time, wonderful as has been the growth of Portland, and the development of the state in other directions, it is Coos County that has attracted the most attention, and has felt the most strongly the in-flowing tide of opportunity. Handicapped as Coos County had been in being accessible only by boat and by difficult stage lines across the mountains, yet it had an internal railway running over the ridge and along the Coquille river, and this had brought the products of the inland to the shore. In lumber and coal Coos County is especially rich. It is estimated there are 27,000,000,000 standing feet of timber in the county, and this is of the finest and most marketable quality. Port Orford cedar, found only in this and Curry county, is used the world over for shipbuilding. The yellow fir (the Oregon pine) abounds, and there are the red fir, oak, ash, maple, madrone, yew, chittim, and other choice varieties. Elsewhere in all the territory of the United States, outside of the Philippine Islands, there cann be found such a magnificent variety of fine woods as in the Coos Bay country. The coal-bearing area around Coos Bay covers 400 square miles. The coal is a lignite of excellent quality for domestic and steam purposes and even in this timbered country will be a great inducement for capital to put up manufacturing plants. The mines at Beaver Hill and Newport are equipped to put out 10,000 tons per month. But more lasting and important even than the wealth of mine and forest is the growing dairying industry of the county, for which it is an ideal place. Cattle have green feed the year around; the climate is equable, so they do not need shelter, and there is a remarkable absence of files, ants and mosquitos; besides the apples grown there are worm free. The ranchmen are investing largely in Jersey cows; the annual product is already worth about a million dollars, with its cheese taking the prize at the State Fair, and its butter selling at fancy prices in New Jersey and Portland. The salmon industry is also worth nothing and is destined to be of great importance. There are two canneries in operation; the chinook salmon here is of the best kind, and the state has erected a hatchery on Coos river which has a capacity of 6,600 eggs. While the county has been accredited as the richest in the state in natural resources its greatest asset is Coos Bay, running up into the county for a number of miles and turning in triangular shape so that it forms a peninsula which is the natural centre of the commercial activity of this part of the country and of all that may become tributary to it. To quote the words of the chief engineer of the United States in his report of 1902: "Coos Bay is the principal harbor between San Francisco and the mouth of the Columbia," and it is almost exertely midway. It does not require a vivid imagination to conceive of it as a great shipping point when the railroads which are making that way shall have made an outlet for all Southern Oregon and for the states eastward of it. It may be asked why has not this splendid harbor been utilized hitherto. The answer lies partly in the fact that the other harbors with railroads and a more settled country back of them were sufficient to handle the comparatively limited trade between the American side of the Pacific and the rest of the world. But with the growing activity in this direction and the fact that not only is the whole trend of immigration in the United States towards the Pacific slope, but our new relations with the Orient have given an impetus to commercial and business activity which bid fair to make the Pacific Ocean rival, if not surpass, the Atlantic, as a highway for the world New Age Other ports will become competitors for trade. Every possible deep-water harbor on the Atlantic has been utilized, and the time is at hand when it must be the same on our Pacific shores. Another reason why Coos Bay has been tardy in its development is because in earlier days there were often only ten feet of water on the bar at low tide. By government appropriation work was done in 1879 and 1890, which resulted in 26 feet of water at low tide and this was accomplished so easily, and without requiring all the appropriation that had been made for the work, that the Coos Bay Chamber of Commerce has memorialized congress to continue the work until thirty feet of water shall have been assured, which will enable the largest vessel to ride in at all times in safety. Local steps have already been taken to make this a uniform depth in every part of the bay by the creation of a Coos Bay Harbor Commission by the state. It has ever been the history of the world that a good harbor makes a commercial center when there is a rich country back of it. Hence in the ordinary course of events there is bound to be a large city on Coos Bay and probably one that will cover the narrow peninsula as New York City covers Manhattan Island. In evidence of this there are two more large mills building, and a denaturalized alcohol plant, a large woodenware factory and several large store and warehouses are now being planned and contracted for. A good beginning has already been made. Marshfield, the oldest and largest town, has immense coal bunkers, a saw mill running day and night, and is the point from which the railroad runs inland. North Bend, only three years old, has almost overtaken its neighbor in importance. Its report for 1905 showed 602 men employed in its mills and factories, and a yearly output of over a million dollars. Both towns have well-supported churches and schools. Already a wide avenue is graded between the sister towns and an electric line is under way, which, when completed, will make them practically one. Furthermore, they are bound to reach across and embrace. Empire, the town on the opposite side of the peninsula, and the first shipping point, where just now it is said lots are worth $500 apiece, and cannot be bought for less than $1,000. The reason for the boom in Empire is that a man has bought it up who is said to own 90,000 acres of timber land in Southern Oregon, and he intends to revive the saw mill, build a cannery, and otherwise develop the town to an importance which is its natural place as the entrance to the harbor. But Marshfield, North Bend and Empire, growing as they are, and with only the possibility of growing towards each other, will eventually become one municipality, and instead of being rivals, each will share the advantages of all, and their common centre will be the natural point of vantage. Mr. Schaefer has foreseen this and has laid out an addition to Central Place exactly in the centre, one and a half miles from deep water and like distances from the centres of each of the three towns on the bay. Sherman avenue, the principal 80-foot graded street running north and south and connecting North Bend with Marshfield, is intersected by Newmark street, also 80 feet wide and running east and west across the peninsula, which is on the line of Mr. Schaefer's addition. It is predicted by those who understand the situation that within a few years lots in Schaefer's addition will bring the highest price of any sold in open market on the peninsula. Where else in the United States can such a combination of natural features that make values be found? Back of it it are the inexhaustible resources of the richest part of Oregon; the magnificent forests and mountainous scenery that charm beauty-lovers; and the pulsations thrilling through it of three towns already of considerable importance, and not only offering present employment to all who wish it but natural facilities inviting the investment of canal in unnumbered ways. Many also will feel the fascination of being so near the ocean and will be quick to respond to the beckoning Orient which is extending "the glad hand" across the majestic Pacific. With many, the equable climate, the cool summers and warm winters, the pure mountain water; the freedom from rheumatism, typhoid and malarial fevers, with an extraordinarily low death rate, and 13 degrees variation—will not be minor advantages offered by Coos Bay, which is certainly ideal in its combination of inducements as a place for health, pleasure and business. The cities on Coos Bay have been founded by progressive, public-spirited men, who have sensed the truth of the business and Bible maxim that in order to have more they must share what they have and so they have changed conditions from earlier days when the settlers rather discouraged others from joining them, and are inviting the world to see what they have to offer, confident that those who see the country will never want to leave it permanently. Coos Bay is now reached by the Breakwater and M. F. Plant steamers running from San Francisco; by the Roanoke from Portland; by the Kilbourn, which leaves Portland and San Francisco on alternate Saturdays; and by the Alliance, making the exclusive run from Portland to Coos Bay. There are also the stage lines from Draub and Roseburg, which connect it with the Southern Pacific. Eager to See Roosevelt Manila, Dec. 29. —The Filipino people are elated over press reports that President Roosevelt contemplated visiting the islands next summer. The native press received the announcement with enthusiasm. THE REASON WHY Bourne Should Not Be Elected U. S. Senator The New Age has said before and it now says again that it does not believe that the next legislature will elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United States senate. It has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne is inspired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he was regularly named by the republican voters for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First—That he is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second—That he is a traitor and political black-leg. Third-That he could not be depend ed upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party in the hour of its dire distress, when the blight of Bryanism and populism overshadowed the country in 1906. But as a true and loyal republican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, invincible republican party in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy. The legislative session of 1895 was the most spectacular in the history of Oregon and the King Pin of that session was J. Bourne Jr., whose malodorous record is even yet a stench in the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other corrupting influences the trick of thwarting the will of the people and debauching the honor of the citizenry was the special mission of this political montebank, who now, ten short years afterward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him in the future? Does anyone who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies in the United States senate, and to uphold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders in that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, mose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt. NO. 37. RESUMES WORK. Both Houses of Congress Down to Business After Holidays. Washington, Jan. 3.—Defense of the discharge of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, members of which were guilty of the Brownsville shooting, was made in the senate today by Culberson, of Texas, who thus presented the unusual spectacle of a Southern Democratic senator as champion of a Republican president. Foraker began a reply, but was not able to finish it on account of a sore throat and secured an adjournment until Monday of the debate on his resolution instructing the military committee to inquire into the president's order. Lodge offered an amendment limiting the inquiry to the conduct of the troops, thus avoiding any question as to the president's authority to discharge them. Culberson said great injustice had been done the people of Brownsville. The conduct of the negro soldiers had been very irritating. He related that on August 4, the day before the "shooting up" of the town, a criminal assault had been committed by one of the soldiers on the wife of a reputable citizen. No arrests had beed made for this crime. Culberson defended Captain McDonald, of the Texas Rangers, to whom Foraker had referred, because of Major Blockson's reference to him as a man who was "so brave that he would not hesitate to charge hell with a bucket of water." Senator Nelson introduced a bill to prohibit the sale of land on which are situated beds of coal, lignite, asphalt, petroleum and natural gas in the government domain until such deposits have been exhausted. Provision is made for leasing for terms not exceeding one year for the purpose of having them explored. Persons making explorations and discoveries are to be given the preference in the right to lease and work the deposits. Senator Piles today introduced a bill authorizing the appointment of an additional judge for the Ninth judicial district, another authorizing the appointment of an additional customs appraiser for Puget sound and a third extending the privileges of immediate transportation on durable goods at Port Townsend. He also offered an amendment to the pending child labor bill. The senate then went into executive session and at 2:55 p. m. adjourned until Monday. Washington, Jan. 3.—Representative Morrell, of Pennsylvania, introduced a resolution today for an investigation by congress of recent railroad wrecks. The resolution states that the wrecks are supposed to be due to overwork of employees, and authorizes the speaker to name a committee of five congressmen who shall have full power to subpoena witnesses and require corporations to furnish records and all information desired. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION, Japanese Reds Cannot Lorg Maintain Anarchist Paper. San Francisco, Jan. 4.—The case of T. Takeuchi, of Berkeley, publisher of the Revolution, will be reported to the government at Tokio by Japanese Consul General Uyeno. "We will make a report of the Takeuchi incident to Tokio," said Secretary Oyama, of the Japanese consulate yesterday. "We can take no action in the matter here. It is in the hands of the local authorities, but we will report the matter to our government and send a copy of the Revolution to Tokio. I think there will be no second issue of the publication. It is a publication that must cost some money to get out, and the half dozen or so young men who are associated with Takeuchi in the publication cannot be very flush of funds." United States Commissioner of Immigration Hart H. North has been quietly gathering evidence against Takeuchi. He will forward the results of his investigations to Washington. If arrests are to be made orders will be sent to North. No Church Separation in Italy. Rome, Jan. 4.—The French ambassador, M. Barriere, received the members of the French colony yesterday. He delivered an address, in which he mentioned the growing friendship of Italy and France, but made no allusion to Italian sympathy with France in her church troubles. The fact that he made no allusion to this trouble is deemed significant, as such an allusion would be interpreted as encouragement to the Socialists and Republicans in Italy to follow France's lead in separation of church and state. Miners Strike for Eight-hour Day. Grass Valley, Cal., Jan. 4.—Six hundred and fifty miners went on strike yesterday. Every union miner, with the exception of 50, who are employed in four of the smaller mines, has gone out. They demand an eight-hour day. A peaceful settlement is probable. TOPICS OF THE TIMES "Debrutalized" football has become almost human. The year 1906 promises to be an unusually prosperous one for the big lawyers. If the independent and prosperous farmer "gets the worst of it," what are the rest of us getting? The search for the best book is endless. There are almost as many best books as there are readers. By the court's decree the Countess Castellane gets what she wants and gets rid of what she didn't want. Most of the objection to trial marriages come from men and women who have passed through marriage trials. It appears that the "debrutallized" class rush contents itself with breaking a collar bone instead of a neck. We certainly are advancing. Richard Croker has been offered $100,000 for his autobiography, and from now on he will be receiving letters beseeching him not to tell all he knows. Andrew Carnegie offers to donate $1,000,000 to the cause of universal peace. It is hoped that there will be no unseemly quarreling among people who desire to handle the money. Two Warsaw anarchists recently threw bombs at an actress. If her advance agent isn't making the most of the incident she ought to fire him and employ a good, live American. In spite of all the scientific theories that have been advanced it seems probable that the matter of betrothals and marriages will be settled, as heretofore, by the young persons chiefly concerned. Possibly the kaiser deserves great credit for being an optimist, but one could pick out two or three persons who really would have more excuse than the kaiser for giving way to pessimism. Mr. Rockefeller says he "trusts implicitly in Providence." It has been the popular impression for some time that Mr. Rockefeller's trust was in the Almighty. That is to say, the Almighty Dollar. According to Dr. Senn, of Chicago, more people die from eating food than from drinking intoxicants. And yet it is not easy to find a satisfactory substitute for food, even if we replace it with breakfast food. There is a thoughtful lady in Philadelphia who wants the family physician to arrange betrothals, so that there may in future be less mismating. The question now arises, would the doctor charge for a house or an office call? Inconsistency, the paste jewel of human nature, has never been better illustrated than by the barbarous contrast of bravery and cowardice which a medical journal points out in professional motor car drivers. They risk their lives in perilous runs for money, for excitement, for fame, from zest for the sport or whatever the motive may be. Yet some of them will not have the number thirteen on their cars. Shrinking from the fictitious terrors of a medieval superstition they plunge boldly into dangers that are so obvious that every spectator of a race holds his breath. Curious illogical human nature! To help supply the demand in America for good servants and also to help Italian immigrants to good places, an Italian banker of New York City proposes to train Italian women in model houses before they leave home. He plans to open in northern Italy practical schools of domestic service equipped with American laundries, kitchens and dining rooms, where girls may learn free of charge the work that will be required of them. Then they will come to this country, where they will easily secure places on the strength of their practical education. It is thought that persons of influence in both countries will be ready to help this work, which is philanthropic in the best sense in that it promotes the efficiency of the worker and insures good service to the employer. Bigness is said to be a quality which appeals especially to Americans. However that may be, a purely scientific interest justifies the spreading of information contained in a recent bulletin of the United States Geological Survey about the size of the United States. The area of the United States proper, exclusive of Alaska, island dependencies and the Panama strip, is given as three million twenty-six thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine square miles. The absence hitherto of an official standard resulted in a discrepancy between the computations of the Census Bureau and the General Land Office. A conference was called between these departments and the Geological Survey, and the bulletin of the Geological Survey is the result. The sons of the Count and the Countess de Castellane are the real sufferers from the mercenary marriage of which they are the issue. While the mother is given the custody of the children— all of whom are of tender years—they are to be given over to their father, a man of vile habits, two days in the week, one week at New Year and Easter and a month in summer of each year. During these times they will be with their grandmother, who is a bitter enemy of their mother and under the influence of their father. If the countess succeeds in making even decent Frenchmen out of her boys under these conditions both she and they will be exceptionally fortunate. A mother must indeed be of strong character and determined will to counteract the influences that will be set at work against her personality and teachings in such a case. The temporary agreement, or modus vivendi, between the United States and Great Britain regarding the rights of American fishermen in Newfoundland waters has stirred up considerable opposition in several parts of the British Empire. The present Liberal government in London has agreed that the American fishermen may use purseselines, and may employ Newfoundland crews, although both of these things are forbidden by the local laws of the colony. The agreement is to continue until an understanding can be reached as to the rights guaranteed to American fishermen by the treaty of 1818 and does not grant any right which that treaty does not appear to protect. The people of Newfoundland charge the British government with betraying the interests of the colony. In Natal the arrangement is regarded as a blow at the system of colonial autonomy. It is urged that the affairs of a self-governing colony should not be discussed with a foreign state until the imperial government has the concurrence of the colony interested. In London the opposition condemns the government for what it calls "a complete surrender to America." The impartial observer will consult the table before forming an opinion on these partisan charges. The fishing rights of Americans in Canadian waters were recognized by the British at the same time that they recognized the independence of the Continental colonies. The revolutionists successfully contended that the fisheries of the whole Atlantic coast were a valuable asset of the territory which had won its independence. After the war of 1812 the British claimed that the previous treaty was nullified by the hostilities, but the American commissioners refused to admit that contention, and insisted that the recognition of our rights in the fisheries was as irrevocable as the recognition of the independence of the colonies. The conditions under which the rights might be enjoyed were slightly modified in the treaty of 1818, still in force. Other and temporary agreements have been made, but when they expired the old treaty again became active. The early rights, which were conceded in the first peace treaty between the mother country and the colonies, have been modified so many times that the Newfoundlanders and many British and Americans have come to think that they are not rights at all, but privileges. VALUE OF THE ARCHITECT. Public Not Generally Informed as to His True Worth. The real necessity for education in architecture, in our minds, is not to teach the public what is good architecture so much as to bring them to a closer appreciation of the function the architect plays in public work. To many people he is still a sort of upper craftsman, less businesslike than a mason, not as practical as a carpenter, but one who increases the cost of a building from some unknown reason and keeps the builders all guessing. Any one who looks back over the progress of the profession in this country for the last quarter of a century can readily appreciate how modern a thing the American architect is and how little he is understood. The nation, the clides, the individuals have thrown opportunities at the profession with both hands. The profession has never been quite equal to it, but has made a brave fight and is fighting still. When we say that the public appreciates architecture we do not mean that the appreciation is a knowing or an intelligent one. It simply likes a large, handsome piece of building construction, and, generally speaking, the public that goes by on the street will take kindly to the really good architectural monuments. There is, however, beyond a question a great work to be done, and the suggestion to educate the public by means of the creation of museums of architecture is one which deserves careful consideration and which if carried out very generally would undoubtedly do a great deal to bring about the desired results. It is safe to say that the collection of architectural casts in the Metropolitan museum at New York is studied and admired more than any other one feature of that magnificent collection, and thereought to be similar collections in all of our large cities. Whether the time is yet ripe for them to be independent collections is a question. Even now nearly all of our museums have a more or less general collection of architectural casts and if these could be enlarged so as to be more specific in their illustrations—to include models of complete buildings of the best type, with examples of decorations of furnished interiors and with perhaps in connection therewith exhibitions of architectural drawings—they would become powerful educational agents.—Brickbuilder.

"How do you like your new job, Billy?" inquired the periodical and tobacco vendor of the young man with the dinner pall who had just purchased two "stockyards zephyr." iron on his toes. He'll notice then." "Quit yer kiddin'," said the y man. "That ain't it. I've been a-bi in' my neck ever since I've took job—din' work I ain't got no ca "The job ain't so worse," repiled the young man, stowing the cigars carefully in his vest pocket. "I ain't kickin' specially on the job." "Poor pay?" "Well, the pay's about as good as a feller could expect." "Don't you like the boss? They say he's a good man to work for." "He may be all right for them as likes to work for him," said the young man, discontentedly. "I ain't struck on him myself." "What's the trouble with him?" "He's a fish, that's all," said the young man with the dinner pall. "I've been workin' there for a month now an' he ain't spoke two words to me, 'cept what he has to about the work." "That ain't right," said the tobacco man, sympathetically. "He ought to be sociable. There ain't no need of a felter puttin' on airs. He might take half an hour once in a while to set down an' talk over the baseball situation." "I don't know as I want him to be sociable," said the young man. "'S far that's concerned, I've got friends o' my own. But what I mean is he don't seem to take no notice o' me." "Give him a poke in the ribs an' tell him to cheer up as he goes by," advised the tobacco merchant. "Throw a chunk o' slag at him or drop a pig o' During the nineteenth century fifty-two new islands rose from the sea by volcanic action and sixteen disappeared. According to an expert in phrenology the average adult head has a circumference of fully twenty-two inches The average adult hat is fully 6% size. The sizes of men's hats are 6% and 6% generally. The professors of Scottish colleges generally wear 7% to 8 sizes. A new variety of cigarette has been put up for sale in the French government tobacco shops. It is guaranteed free from nicotine. Opinions vary as to the merits of the new weed. Many inveterate smokers declare that it consists merely of ordinary tobacco boiled to get rid of the nicotine. They add that with the poison the aroma has also vanished. The peddlers with carts who supply the occupants of villas in the environs of Paris with cherries and other fruits frequently carry for sale a few small turtles. They are purchased by the inhabitants of the villas to be placed in their gardens, where they are believed to serve as very effective aids to the gardener by preventing the ravages of the insects and other small creatures which are accustomed to do much damage to the flower beds and borders. An electric lamp inclosed in a pretty little cage formed of fine metallic chains almost touching each other, and held rigid by metallic rings above and below, is the very latest thing in lethal chambers. Its destined victim is the mosquito. By this invention—recently shown to the savants of the Paris academy by M. Chaulin—the insect is pleasantly attracted to its doom. An unseen alternating electric current passing through the chains kills it as it endeavors to investigate the attractive luminous object inside. According to the investigations of Monsieur Seurat among the Pacific islands, there is a slow elevation going on there, which, by lifting the reefs gradually above the waves, preserves them from erosion at the top, and enables vegetation and certain animal forms of a terrestrial character to exist there. This is quite in opposition to Darwin's idea that the atolls were formed by the gradual submergence of small islands, that the coral-insects up enriched reefs as the islands sank. Monsieur Seurat shows that the elevation of the islands is a general phenomenon, but variable in amount, some islands, like Aukena in the Gambier archipelago, rising rapidly, and others very slowly. Both the flora and the fauna of these islands are confined to very few species, although seen from a distance some of them appear very rich in vegetation. The Danish government has recently begun, under the direction of Mr. Petersen of the Biological Station at Copenhagen, an interesting effort to aid the fishermen of the Baltic by preventing the migration of eels from that sea into the ocean. The means employed is a "barrier of light," formed by placing fifty electric lamps along a submerged cable between the island of Fano and the coast of Funen. The effectiveness of such a barrier depends upon the fact that the eels migrate only during the dark hours. Accordingly, as soon as darkness begins, in the season of migration, the lamps are illuminated, and thus a wall of light is interposed from iron on his toes. He'll notice you then." "Quit yer kiddin'," said the young man. "That ain't it. I've been a-breakin' my neck ever since I've took the job—doin' work I ain't got no call to do. Honest, I never done so much work in my life as I've done in the last month. Most of the fellers take it easy an' soldier when they get a chance, but I ain't never done that. There aren't been any let-up for me. I've been mixin' up the sand an' wettin' it down an' sortin' out the jaggers an' chippin' castin' and feedin' the cupaoles an' breakin' scrap—just goin' all the time, but it don't seem to make no difference to him whether a guy works or loafs. I've been workin' myself. I guess he's got it in for me for some reason or another." "Most likely," agreed the tobacco man. "He's probably afraid to fire you for fear he may not be able to get anybody to take your place. If he wasn't he'd be pattyn' you on the back an' givin' you cigars every time he came near you. All the same, the way it is you won't get to sufferin' with a swelled head, which you might if he petted you too much. You take my tip: Just as long as he doesn't hit you over the head with a tamping stick and pays you your wages you hang on. An' keep right on workin'; it'll be good exercise for your muscles if it ain't nothin' else. If he's a fish don't you be a clam." "That's all right," said the young man, "but I hate to see a feller cold-blooded."—Chicago Daily News. which the eels recoll. A similar principle is said to have been employed from time immemorial by fishermen on certain parts of the coast of Italy. It is no new principle that Doctor Fere of the Bicetre Hospital in Paris has made known in a recent article on "Work and Repose," but it is not the less worth repeating. He has made many special experiments, and announces as their general result that the supposed value of various alcoholic and other stimulants to increase physical and mental energy, and postpone fatigue, to avoid the effects of fatigue, is illusory. There is only one form of effective, recreative repose—sleep; and sleep, in order to exercise its proper power, must be natural. The sleep produced by narcotics is "a toxic somnolence having the appearance only of real reparative sleep." But sleep itself is a mystery concerning whose nature we possess merely a "hypothetical knowledge." Recent studies by Prof. Penck in the Alps, combined with those of Hugo Obermaler, a distinguished pupil of Penck, in the Pyrenees, have had the effect of considerably shortening the estimate of the length of time that has elapsed since prehistoric man left the marks of his presence in Europe. It now appears that both in the Alps and the Pyrenees there exist contemporary geological records showing four successive periods of alternate advance and retreat of glaciation. Heretofore it has been considered probable that prehistoric men dwelt in the neighborhood of these mountains during the last two invasions of the ice, but the new evidence is regarded as proving that it was only of the last, or fourth, glacial advance that man was a living witness. Roland for His Oliver. In a suit recently tried in a Virginia town a young lawyer of limited experience was addressing the jury on a point of law when good naturedly he turned to opposing counsel, a man of much more experience than himself, and asked: "That's right, I believe, Colonel Hopkins? Whereupon Hopkins, with a smile of conscious superiority, replied: "Sir, I have an office in Richmond wherein I shall be delighted to enlighten you on any point of law for a consideration." The youthful attorney, not in the least abashed, took from his pocket a half-dollar piece, which he offered Colonel Hopkins with this remark: "No time like the present. Take this, sir, tell us what you know and give me the change."—Harper's Weekly. To Tell Poor Milk. "Here," said the food inspector, "is an easy and reliable way to detect watered milk. "You take a clean, well-pollished knitting-needle, and you dip it down into a vessel of milk. Then you draw it out upright, and watch it closely. "If the milk is quite pure, some of it will hang to the needle. But if water has been added, even a little water, the milk will not adhere to the needle at all." **Looks Like Exaggeration.** Clara—That man Grace married is old enough to be her father.

One Year, payable in advance.....$ 2.00 Our Candidate for PRESIDENT JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER OF OHIO THE MISSISSIPPI RACE WAR. It turns out that the Christmas "race riots" in Kemper county, Miss., in which it was first stated, as is usual, that negroes were responsible for the trouble and chiefly guilty, were in reality for the most part, merely a shotgun lynching of perfectly innocent colored men, and the destruction of innocent negroes' houses and other property, merely because one negro had committed a crime, or it was reported that he had done so. The district attorney in a public statement said: "I found upon an investigation that the trouble was caused by a lot of hoodlums and outlaws who openly violated all laws of God and man and decency. The four men killed Christmas day were not connected with the affair in any manner and I am informed that the houses burned were occupied by negroes who were not even in sympathy with any of those who were connected with the outrages. These men will be captured if it is in the power of the state of Mississippi to do so." Dispatches further stated that the local death list is probably 12; that the mob element among the whites has mostly fled toward the Alabama state line, while negroes in terror have gathered at Scooba and Wahalak to place themselves under the protection of troops or of citizens. The killing of a negro named Calvin Nicholson is reported as "one of the most brutal which has occurred since the days of reconstruction." Nicholson was a negro of the best class. While a posse was searching for a negro named Simpson, who had killed a deputy, they entered Nicholson's house, and several persons began shooting at him. Something like this is frequently the case. If one negro does something wrong, or is charged with having done so, it is not enough to capture and lynch him, but a lot of malicious, vicious and criminal hoodlums organize a mob and kill all the negroes they can find and burn their houses, even though they may be entirely inoffensive and in reality incomparably better men, women and citizens than the members of the mob. We say again, as we have often said, that we have no objection to the full legal punishment of any negro who commits a crime of any kind, north or south, although considering the history of his race and his opportunities he rather than a white man who commits the same crime is deserving of leniency; but not only negroes but all white men who believe in justice and have respect for law ought unitedly to protest against this discrimination against the black man, against this persecution, these lynchings of innocent people, merely on account of race and color. Who can blame colored men of the south for sometimes doing wrong and resorting to violence when affairs like that in Mississippi occur so frequently? PORTLAND'S PROSPECTS. The year 1906 was a big business year for Portland, which showed a greater increase by far in all lines of growth than in any previous year, and the new year starts out promisingly for even greater progress before another new year's day comes again. The increase in new buildings, in bank clearances, in postoffice receipts, and in the volume of business generally, indicates a large increase of population during 1906, and 1907 will probably show as good or perhaps a better record. While estimates differ great- ly as to population, a medium figure between the extremes, say 165,000, would probably not be far out of the way, affording reason to suppose that the city will be pretty well up to 200, 000 a year hence. Portland's growth has always been steady, but gradual and not very rapid, and while it is growing much faster now than formerly, there will be no phenomenal boom. The thing that will make Portland a big city, rivaling San Francisco and distancing Seattle, is a great influx of people into the tributary country, and this will come only gradually, until more railroads are built and the grip of Harriman on this region is loosened. The coming of the north bank Hill railroad will do much to bring about this result as will other railroads mentioned in these columns heretofore, when they shall be built on the ground instead of on paper. When we get the Hill road and two or three roads across Oregon, east and west and north and south, and electric lines up the valley to Eugene, and various branches to now undeveloped regions, and when the Columbia bar is deepened to 35 or 40 feet and the Cello canal is in progress, then we shall see ten people coming to Oregon where one comes now, and then Portland will grow as much faster than it is growing now as its present growth exceeds that of six or eight years ago. Ten years hence Portland may be as large as San Francisco is now; twenty years hence it may have nearly if not quite overtaken the Bay City. It depends much on getting railroads and river improvements. Without them, on a large scale, Seattle will out run Portland. But the prospect for 1907 though not so luminously brilliant as some journalistic and other enthusiasts picture it, is bright, and Portland will undoubtedly enjoy a very large measure of prosperity this year. THE LEGISLATURE. According to present indications Multnomah county, owing to inability of the members from this county to agree on either a president of the senate or a speaker of the house from this county, will not obtain either office, which will be something unusual. Unless some of the members now favorable to Haines of Washington for President and Davey of Marion for speaker change their minds these men will be elected, and probably without any contest, as when it is seen that they are sure to win nearly all members will want to show up among their supporters. There is no especial reason at this time why Multnomah should have one of its men in either presiding chair, and it is well to let these offices go around the state more than they have done. There is not likely to be any legislation of importance which could be materially affected by the appointments or rulings of a presiding officer, for if a majority of the members are really in earnest about getting a law passed or preventing the passage of a bill, they will carry out their will even if the presiding officer and a majority of the committee having charge of the matter are opposed to them. The legislature has some rather unusually important business to attend to this winter and the presiding officers could not prevent its being done if they wanted to, as probably they won't, but will be of the same opinion as the majority. It will be interesting, however, to observe if the Multnomah county members split on important matters of legislation, as well as on organization. It is well known that there is a good deal of inharmony among them, and that factional hatchets are not very deeply buried, but this may not materially effect measures of importance to the state at large, such as railroad regulation, taxation, irrigation and other large questions. Politics need not and should not show up much except in the election of a United States senator for the long term, and on that matter it will be curious if out of the eighty-three republicans a considerable proportion do not insist on the election of a straight, worthy, reliable republican, instead of a Bryan-Freesilverite, whose lavish expenditure of money enabled him to secure a slight plurality at the polls last spring.

When it comes t in the attempt. In 1789 after the colonies had fought a successful war against that tyrant and oppressor Great Britain, the man who was "first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen" — George Washington — was named by the people as their choice for their country's first president. From Washington to Roosevelt, with the exception of the immortal Lincoln, there has been no statesman who has to a larger degree, won the confidence and veneration of his fellow countrymen by reason of sterling patriotism, transendent ability and broad statesmanship, than has the eminent senior senator from Ohio, Joseph Benson Foraker. The American people are intelligent, thoughtful and watchful, and no public man can hold for any length of time their confidence and support unless he is loyal and true to the best interests of his country. Senator Foraker has occupied a commanding place in the politics of his state and the nation for the past quarter of a century, and as district attorney of his home county, as governor of his state and as an United States senator, he has ever been the faithful guardian, the brilliant exponent and the loyal advocate of the principles and policies of the Republican party. Senator Foraker is representative of the very highest type of American manhood and American statesmanship, having embibed his lessons in patriotism and love of humanity at the knee of the great emancipator—Abraham Lincoln, and recent events conspire the belief that in him shall be found a second Lincoln.

There are those not devoid of the faculty of keen observation and of cogent reasoning who believe that the Oregon legislature will not discredit the state by the election of Jonathan Bourne to the United States senate. Some papers and people support him after a fashion; that is, say that the matter was settled last spring and the legislature has no choice about it, but only a perfunctory duty to perform; but it is to be noticed that none of them urge Bourne's election on his own merits or as a good thing for the state, or make any attempt to answer the arguments advanced against his election. There is no enthusiasm and little confidence among the Bourne supporters, and most of them would really be glad if he were defeated. The trouble is that so many are afraid to do what they know they ought to do. The Dalles Optimist being properly optimistic, says that "The nightmare of delusion, humbuggery and bought-up thunder to boost a nondescript party traitor and all-round faker into the United States senate, has about passed away, and as we sincerely hope and trust to be followed by "safe and sane" actions of the Oregon legislature to select some good, sensible republican, of respectable antecedents and well known good character and ability, to represent Oregon along with Senator Fulton in the serate." POTHOUSE POLITICS vs. BUSINESS The people generally will commend the city council for its action in passing over the mayor's head the ordinance vacating Hulf street. The Williamette Iron and Steel Works asked no more than was right and the street should have been vacated without any delay. The residents and property owners most effected look upon Mr. Corbett as a benefactor since property values and conditions generally have been improved by reason of the establishment of the big iron and steel plant in that section of the city. Then why should they discriminate against this concern since it has been the policy of the city to vacate streets similarly situated. It was done many years ago in the case of the Northern Pacific Terminal Co. and only recently for the Seattle and Portland Railway Co. and no reasonable person could find any objections. The Willamette Iron and Steel Works maintain probably the largest pay roll of any institution in the city and it would be a very short sighted policy to hamper the company as some pot house politicians tried to do but signally failed in the attempt. When it comes to the question of Pot House Politics vs. Business—the people vote for business. There will be an interesting fight in the state of Washington when a successor to Senator Ankeny is to be elected, though the chances are favorable to his re-election, and it will be pretty sure if King county (Seattle) should support him. But Pierce county (Tacoma) is anxious to have a senator again and will spare no effort to accomplish this end, having several men who would fill the position creditably, the one most likely to be chosen being Mr. R. L. McCormick, who is perhaps, the greatest individual figure in the business world of that city. Mr. McCormick would make a splendid senator. The president has his very good and strong points, as everybody knows, but he occasionally makes a very "bad break" as it becomes more apparent as time passes that he did in the matter of the Japanese in San Francisco attending the schools, and more especially in his impulsive and arbitrary discharge of the colored troops of the 25th infantry. Some western white troops had a somewhat similar escapade not long ago, and they were not discharged, nor anything more heard of it. The expense of the state printer's office ought to be regulated, of course, but since State Printer Dunniway has gone to a great and necessary expense in procuring the plant, this should and doubtless will be taken into due consideration. He is entitled to a square deal. A dispatch from the race war states that the negroes are "highly excited but that there is nothing threatening in their demeanor." Anybody may be excused for excitement after a mob has jumped on his friends and family and slain a dozen of them. If the governor were running this year, he could not make the specious plea he did last year so effectively that taxes had been greatly reduced under his administration—and as if he did it, too. Mr. Vawter of Jackson county is well deserving of the speakership, but it looks now as if he would not have quite votes enough. The republicans of Oregon expect the legislature to elect a republican to the full term in the senate, not a Bryan disorganizer. "Two whites and thirteen negroes dead in a race war." The whites lost more than usual in this sort of conflict. President Roosevelt seems to have yet to learn that sticking to a wrong thing does not make it right. Representative Hermann called on the president New Year's. He never did lack for "gall." Senator Foraker will not be alone by any means in his fight for justice for the colored troops. Evidently most of the councilmen don't intend to run for office again. The Multnomah delegation seems to lack a boss. Greatest Year Since 1888 Greatest Year Since 1888. Chicago, Dec. 29. — More miles of railroad were constructed in the United States during the last year than have been built during any year since 1888, according to the Railway Age. Since January 1 last, 6,067 miles of track have been laid on 388 lines in 44 states and territories, making the country's total railway mileage 223,319. The largest amount of railway building during the year was done in Texas, where 701 miles of track were laid. Louisiana and South Dakota are almost tied for second place.

Miss Maud Lucas entertained a few of her young friends on New Year's eve. Miss Mattie Ashby has returned home, after visiting relatives in Chicago. The watch meeting at the Zion A. M. E. Church and the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church were well attended. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Fulillove have both been somewhat indisposed, but are a great deal better at this time. Miss Kittie Bridgewater, of 107 North Fourteenth street, gave a holiday party on the 31st inst. to a number of her friends. The ball given by the hotel waiters at the Armory on the 26th inst. was a decided success from a social standpoint, although not largely attended. Mr. L. R. Causler seems to be walking on air. The cause is that on the 24th inst. his wife presented him with a bouncing heir. Mother and son are doing well. Remember the experience meeting given by the Household of Ruth, 844, G. U. O. of O. F., on the second Tuesday of February at their hall, Second and Yamhill streets. Mr. and Mrs. S. Merideth entertained at dinner on Christmas Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. R. Laurence, Mrs. D. Newman and Messrs. E. Richardson and V. Keen. On the evening of December 25th Mrs. L. Wickliffe entertained Mr. and Mrs. S. Merideth, Mr. and Mrs. R. Laurence, Mrs. D. M. Newman and Messrs I. Maxwell and John Mason. Mrs. Lulu Easton and Mrs. E. King are both suffering from sprained and bruised limbs, as the result of a fall. While their injuries are painful, no serious consequences are expected to result, although both ladies are confined to the house. Mrs. Hattie Smith, of Ankeny street, gave an elaborate dinner, served in courses, to 25 of her friends on Christmas. The house was profusely decorated with garlands and other appropriate holiday trimmings. All voted the hostess a most successful entertainer. Willis Burry, formerly of this city but now domiciled in Seattle, spent several days in our city during the holidays. He reports that he is prospering in his new home and has invested quite extensively in real estate in his new home. Rumor says that he is looking for a helpmeet. One of the prettiest entertainments of the holidays was the "Tom Thumb Wedding" at the Bethel A. M. E. Church, with Master Earl Taylor as the parson, Miss Lela Jackson as the bride and Eddie Watson as the groom. The affair reflected great credit on those who had the management of the same. Mrs. Marie G. Penny gave a course dinner at her residence. Thirteenth and Main streets, on Friday evening, December 28 to a few friends. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Stensil, Mr. and Mrs. L. Gregory, Mrs. M. Carr, Mrs. D. M. Newman, Miss M. Krumpp and Messrs. W. H. Carter and Robinson. We learn that Mr. J. P. Joell, who has held the responsible position of steward of the Concordia club, has made up his mind to resign and engage in business for himself. He will be succeeded by Mr. Thomas Johnson, who has ably seconded him for some time past. We predict Mr. Joell a brilliant and prosperous future. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Payne, of Wheeler street, entertained a few friends on Wednesday evening, January 2. The new game of 500 was introduced to the delight of all. An elaborate luncheon was served the guests, which included many rare and excellent dishes for which the esteemable hostess is justly famous. What is the matter with the churches and societies? No celebration of the 1st of January; in fact, it seems of late that our organizations have ceased to take advantage of opportunities to appear before the public. We trust that 1907 will make a change for the better in this respect. Let the members of our churches and benevolent organizations wake up and go to work. Remember it is better to wear out than to rust out. COLORED PIONEER OF THE PACIFIC COAST. Chas. K. Besseilleu Dies at His Home in Clackamas County, Dec. 31, 1906. The sudden death of Mr. C. K. Besseilleu at his home in Clackamas county on Dec. 31 removes from the community an honored pioneer of the Pacific Coast and one of the most prominent colored men in the Northwest. Mr. Besseilleu has spent nearly his whole life in this section of the country, and during his lifetime was foremost in every movement for the advancement of his race in particular and the people in general. The following appeared in the Oregonian of January 1: "Charles K. Besselleu, a well-known farmer and pioneer, died yesterday at his home at Sunnyside, Clackamas county, after five days' illness, aged 84 years. He came to Portland 36 years ago, where he lived for 11 years, purchasing the Sunnyside farm in 1881. He engaged in dairying and general farming. His wife died in 1904. He is survived by two sons, James N. and Henry B. Besselleu. Mr. Besselleu had a long and eventful life. Born in South Carolina, January 2, 1822, he was sent North to New Bedford, Mass., to be educated. Afterward he made his way, with a band of adventurers, to San Diego, Cal., in 1842. From there he shipped on a whaling vessel, which carried him north to Kamchatka, on the Siberian coast. His trip on the whaler was one of thrilling interest. He left the ship and returned to Massachusetts, and came to Portland in 1870. The funeral will be held today at 9 A. M., and the interment will be in Lone Fir Cemetery." F. A. KRIBS. Dealer in Timber and Mineral Lands, Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Mr. F. A. Kribs has been so long identified with the timber business that his name is almost synonymous with that particular industry. Indeed, it is not overstepping the truth when we aver that no man in the Northwest has done more to promote this valuable industry, and certain it is that none possess a superior knowledge of the timber and mineral lands of the Northwestern country. Before coming to the Pacific coast Mr. Kribs was prominently connected with the timber interests of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, and maintained offices at Minneapolis for a number of years, where he enjoyed the confidence of probably the largest clientage in his particular line of business in that section of the country. Like many other big timber dealers and speculators, Mr. Kribs foresaw the wonderful possibilities offered in Oregon, Idaho and Washington, with its vast timber and mineral resources practically untouched, and decided to come to Oregon; since his arrival here some years ago he has given his attention to the handling, both for himself and others, of these wealth producing commodities. Mr. Kribs is a careful, clear-headed and able business man, to whom success has not come without considerable self-sacrifice and hard work. He is a man whose word is as good as gold and to this fact probably more than any other one thing is due his success. AS OTHERS SEE US. Mr. Fry, of Tacoma, Commends the New Age on Its Handsome Xmas Edition. Editor New Age:—The motive that prompts this letter is to compliment you for your fine issue of the New Age of December 22, 1906. It is always upon my table. I paid less attention to this number because of the increased holiday business. Three gentlemen of acknowledged ability complimented the issue and asked me about it. This aroused my curiosity and demanded attention, which I gave at a very slight sacrifice, to self-interest. The things I noted: The refined and big city-like appearance of the paper; for three solid years I took the Oregon—and I assure you, I took the honor of honor—and as I saw it: Harvey, his devil and assistants, never gave to the people of Oregon a pretier issue. Harvey would not tolerate the increased expense for the splendid paper upon which you printed the issue. he—Harvey—would have felt "my thoughts are a sufficient equivalent for your nickel. "Honor to whom honor is due," he does say some things worth a nickel. The headlines. "The Reason Why Bourne Should Not Be Elected U. S. Senator" caused me these thoughts: That you are a Republican beyond suspicion; that you believe in the protection of infant American industries; the encouragement of our merchant marine by wise help; the right of congress to make treaties that will be binding upon the states; that a negro—or any—soldier should not be discharged without due process of law (especially after his bravery has saved a President); that the islands are ours—including Cuba—and that we will hold them, as we need them in our business, or until the Japs want them and take them! Knowing that you share equally these sentiments with all Republicans, your opposition to Bourne convinces me that he must be a scalawag. Dear to the heart of newspaper men is the ad. It means bread, I suppose. Here, too, you have given value received. Clean, attractive, don't know why, not being a printer, but 'tis so. Such ads as R. L. Cate—whole page—is a birdseye view of your city, indicative of a live, bright man; faith and a compliment to your paper. The Warren Construction Co., beautiful cuts; they must think well of the New Aege. Portland Railway Co., Oregon Water Power and Railway Co., Portland General Electric Co., Northern Pacific R. R. Co., H. W. Lemcke Co. and others do not advertise where they do not feel they'll get a return for money invested. "Father Time Finishes Another Round." About this piece of art, on the first page, I don't know what to say. I don't like to see the poor old devil running naked with one foot upon December and the other upon January, clothed only with a kind of breechcloth. A fur coat, such as is usually put upon Santa Claus, to me, would look better. However, I saw so many things to admire that I will say I think it a great piece of work. The New Age looked good to me and you deserve much praise. Yours. D. W. FRY. Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 28, 1906. M. J. Gill Co., wholesale and retail meat dealers, 512 Mississippi avenue, Portland, Oregon.

Babcock, D. D., in a meeting of ministers, told of the day when Harry Morehouse, the celebrated evangelist, was a guest in his father's house. He was staying one night in his room, waiting for the time of the service, when he heard the door open, and, looking about, saw it close quickly again. He turned to his Bible, and heard the same thing repeated; and then, without turning, he said: "Come in," and there entered one of the children of the household, who had seen so much of Christ in the face of the preacher that she desired to know Him, and she said "Mr. Morehouse, I should like to be a Christian." "Well," said he, in his quiet, gentle way, "you may." And he said: "Will you please turn to the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah, and read it, making it personal to yourself? Whenever the pronouns are general make them personal." She began: "He hath no form nor comelliness; and when I shall see him, there is no beauty that I should desire him. He is despaired and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and I hid as it were my face from him; he was despaired, and I esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne my griefs, and carried my sorrows; yet I did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." When she had read thus far, she stopped, and Harry Morehouse said: "Go on and read it." "But he was wounded for my transgressions; he was bruised for my iniquities; the chastisement of my peace was upon him; and with his stripes I am healed." She could not read any further for her tears, but she had caught a glimpse of her Savior in this reading, and Harry Morehouse said to her: "This is all we need to do to be saved—to lay hold upon Him by faith, of whom Isaiah speaks."—Ram's Horn. A Providential Decision. The Rev. Dr. Henry H. Jessup, one of the veteran missionaries who have served under the American Board, Boston, and the Presbyterian Board, New York, tells how he became a missionary to Syria, as follows: "In the summer of 1853, while still a seminary student in Boston, I called to offer my services as a foreign missionary to the American Board. I was cordially received by that remarkable man, Dr. Rufus Anderson, of whom it might be said, as Charles Lamb said of Daniel Webster, that 'he looked like a walking cathedral.' I told him I would be ready in two years to go to any part of the earth where I was needed, only on condition that my townsman and room-mate, Lorenzo Lyons, and myself be sent together. Handing me a package of letters he asked me to read them carefully and in half an hour to come to his room. The letters were a plea for help from the mission in Syria, signed by Whiting, Ford, Thomson and Eli Smith, asking for four missionaries to occupy new stations, among them Antioch. When I entered his room he said: 'Will you go to Syria?' 'I will,' was my answer. And that decided the whole subsequent course of my life. Up to that hour I had never thought of going to Syria, but the divine call had come and I accepted it with all my heart.' What Am I Doing? Let me, as I sit and listen to His comforting voice, bethink me whether I am doing for Him what might call for a like approval. Can I take gladly all He gives to me, and then, when the next appeal to help comes, grudge Him the smallest token of my thankfulness? As I hear Him say, "She hath done what she could," let me honestly ask, Am I also doing all I can? Am I saying to myself, "If my Lord and Savior were only here I would lavish on Him all that can show how truly I love Him?" Then let me listen still as He meets that profession of mine, "The poor ye have always with you, and whensoever ye will, ye can do them good; and inasmuch as ye do it to the least of these my brethren, ye do it unto me."—G. H. Knight. Nearness of God. We are too much in the habit of thinking of God as if He were very far off, high in the heaven above us, and having little to do with our humble, daily affairs on earth. We forget that in Him we live and move and have our being. That the welfare of every immortal soul is His immediate and intimate concern. That He is near enough to help us in our perplexities as well as in our temptations, if we will only ask Him. By the very constitution of our being, though He is so near, He cannot help us unless we ask Him: Speak to Him thou, for He hears, and spirit with spirit can meet: Clearer is He than broasting. Loving Father, with Thee are all good and helpful things, and Thou dost invite us to ask and receive. Empty, we ask for Thy fullness. We open our hearts and eagerly desire an outflow of blessing from above. May we today receive the richest gifts from Thy hands. Keep us from all danger, seen and unseen. Lift above us the banner of Thy love. Cheer our hearts with joyous hope for the future, and impart the strength we need for mind and body. May a sweet affection unite us all so that the day may be as a foretaste of the deep and lasting happiness of heaven. Our Burden Bearer. The little sharp vexations, And the briars that catch and fret, Why not take all to the Helper Who has never failed us yet? Tell Him about the heartache, And tell Him the longing, too; Tell Him the baffled purpose, When we scarce know what to do. Then, leaving all our weakness With the One divinely strong, Forget that we bore the burden, And carry away the song. —Phillips Brooks. WHY SHOES DON'T SQUEAK NOW. A Piece of Tar Paper Between Outer and Inner Sole Prevents Noise and Inner Sole Prevents Noise. "Do you remember," asked the shoe salesman of a Kansas City Times writer, "the days when new shoes creaked? And how you used to have the shoemaker put-wooden pegs in the middle of the sole about every week to stop the noise? Sometimes you soaked the soles of your shoes in water and then had to rub them with lard or some other kind of grease to get them flexible. You don't have to do that now. The new wett has taken the squeak away. In the old days the sole of shoes consisted of two even pieces of leather, and the friction of these two pieces caused the squeak when a person walked. "Shoes are made differently now. You see that little piece of rigid leather that runs from the heel around the outside of the sole? That's what we call the welt. It is a piece of leather, about an inch wide, sewed to a flap cut and turned under the insole. The space between the outer side and the insole is filled with ordinary tar paper, which holds the sole in shape and also prevents squeaking by taking away the friction. This system of a welt was invented thirty years ago, but at first it wasn't a success because the soles were sewed with a straight needle. Couldn't explain it to you in a hundred years, but to prevent squeaking the soles of a shoe have to be sewed with a crooked needle. "You see when a sole is sewed with a straight needle it leaves no flexibility to the sole. But the welt added so much to the appearance and strength of the shoe that improvements were made on the first system, and soon afterward the slant or side sewing by a crooked needle was patented. A shoe that is made with that improvement costs 25 per cent more to the manufacturer than the old style. The patient on it still holds good and 17½ cents, a royalty, has to be paid on every pair of shoes that is made that way. But it's worth it. A squeaking shoe nowadays is as bad as out of date dress or a straw hat in winter." Man at the Helm Works with the Curtains Tightly Drawn. The work of steering a great ship, even with the aid of all the machinery, is much more delicate than one would imagine. The larger and faster the ship the greater is the difficulty. It is not enough to hold the wheel in the same position to keep the ship on her course, for the wind and waves and the currents of the ocean tend constantly to knock the ship off her course. The great wall of steel—for the hull may be 70 feet long and sixty feet high—offers a broad target for the wind and waves. The art in steering is to humor the ship to these forces and when she is deflected bring her back quickly to her course. If you could watch the bimacle, especially in bad weather, you would see the needle of the compass constantly shifting from side to side, which means that the great steel prow is not going forward in a perfectly straight line. The most astonishing thing about the bridge is to find the wheelhouse with all its curtains tightly drawn, as often happens, and the man at the helm steering the boat without seeing ahead at all. At night or even by day, if the light of the binnacle is confusing, the wheelhouse is often completely shut in. The man at the wheel, it is explained, does not need to look ahead. The lookout high up in the "crow's nest" and the officer on watch on the bridge will keep him informed if any object is sighted. The duty of the man at the wheel is to keep the ship on her course. Throughout his watch of four hours he must keep his eyes on the compass and nowhere else.—St. Nicholas. Men and "Love Stories." When a man has passed through the cycle of emotions called love he has had his adventures; other people's cease to have a personal bearing and he anticipates nothing further from them. It is not so with the young man or woman who, as the proverb says of the young bear, have all their troubles before them. The world of love, so full of mystery for them, has become to the maturer man translated into the concrete terms of domestic life and the relations of man and woman pass into the domain of fact that can be tested by experience. Yet novelists do not seem to understand this psychology of the mature man, and they continue to make the love story their chief staple; so that they are read chiefly by young men and women as callow as their own heroes and heroes. Peculiarly they are of course catering for a larger market, the number of the immature by age and the immature by nature are always the larger part of mankind. —London Saturday Review. ST. PAUL MINN.

Dowd, This 1s the story of a boy, whose va. rious ancestors had served in all of the American wars. The fighting blood in him was too strong to be resisted, and he finally made his way to Cuba witt the American troops, Here Is what he saw at Las Guasimas, where the Roug Riders got their first taste of war: If there were bullets fying now, he did not know it—did not stop to think of them, but spurted over the rough, un- even road, full of the Idea that he was to fire a few more shots for that gal- lant young soldier behind. It was strange how completely that {dea shut out any other thought. Now the firing rang louder than ever; there were cheers mingled with it. Chuggins came in sight of an irregular mass of men ahead. They were charging through the Jungle and under the trees, firing as they ran. At a quick, sharp command, they lay down, but kept on firing. Pant- ing, Chuggins ran among them, unno- ticed, throwing himself upon the est between two of the men. ‘Through the trees he canght just a glimpse of little brown men in blue- and-white uniforms thet looked very much like bed-ticking. ‘They were fir- ing at the Rough Riders as fast as they could work thelr guns, while the Ameri- cans were giving rather more than they received. Chuggins had no time to see whether men were being hit around him, but he knew that the hiss and chug of bullets all about him was something territy- ing, and ‘he had time to be afraid. For a few moments he shook as if with ague. It was the thought of that dead soldier's face, with the lps trying to say “Hurrah!” that made a Sperry of him again. Pushing the carbine out in front of him, trying to see thé blue- and-white uniforms through the fore- sight, Chuggins began to fire. It was amazing how quickly that magazine was emptied’ Now the Rough Riders were up and yelling again, Onward they dashed, and the boy went with them, In the rush he was left in the second line; but just as he finished slipping In the five fresh cartridges, he reached the front rank again. He fired ahead, because the rest did; but {t took him longer to empty the magazine now than It did when lying down. There was a spirit- ed scurrying, a wild burrahing, and the Spantards had fled, Now, when, men began to breathe again, and rest, and look about for comrades, they espled Chuggins, or rather noticed him, for the first time. Certain of the officers were among the most curious. One of them strode swiftly over to the boy's side, rested a strong hand on his shoulder, and look- ed down Inquiringly into his face. Something in the man's features looked familiar. Chuggins remembered a por- trait that he had seen In the newspa- pers, “ybu're Mr. Roosevelt, are n't you?” he asked. “Yes, my lad; but who are you?" “Name's Sperry, sir. Striker for Hleutenant Hansel,” Chuggins breath- essly explained, “How came you here? Where did you get that gun? What are you doing with It?” Colonel Roosevelt did not look cross, jut he plainly meant to have the whole tory. So Chuggins told it briefly, Iwelling on the dead soldier whose lips | eemed trying to cheer. “I felt sure he wouldn't mind iy aking his gun, if he could only say so, ir,” wound up Ve young narrator. | Fact is, I think he'd have been glad o have me put in a few more shots for im, and I'nt glad I did.” “Were n't you seared, Sperry?” ask- | d Colonel Roosevelt, his face soften- || ng “Awfully, for a little while, but ’it ‘ore off.” came the candid reply. : Colonel Roosevelt looked at him | a ‘He knew that such a mere boy ‘Ro ¢all or right to be on the firing-line, but such deeds and rea: soning as Chuggins offered must per: plex a lover of heroes; so he said as had the seregant at Siboney. “Sperry, I don't know what to say to you.” - Just then some one called thy Colonel away, and Chuggins wandered about in the regiment. He stayed with the troops after that, first with one reg!- ment and then with another, getting farther and farther to the front as the army advanced, going back to Siboney only when some officer had a. mesaage to send. That life just suited the boy. There was always room for him at night in some “pup-house,” as the sol- diers call their little-shelter-tents. He never lacked for a meal, helping in all the odd chores of camp life that he could.—St, Nicholas, 2 eee coe tO bark, would seem to be as’ impossible a task as teaching a child not to cry, or a boy not to talk loud, but there Is a-case on ree- ‘ord where a dog was so taught, though ‘it tookthe trainer three years to ac complish ‘it. ‘Then he thought he had a dog that differed from all the otler dogs In the world, but in this he was mistaken, for there are at least three varieties of dogs that never bark—the Mon-headed dog of Tibet, the shepherd dog of Egypt and the Australian doz. ‘The law In some countrines Is quite se- yere on night-barking dogs. In Japan, for instance, the owner of the dog Is liable to arrest, and to a penalty of ‘one year’s work on the complaint of any one who has been disturbed by the barking. There would be a good many arrests made if a law of that kind should be enforced in any of our towns. A Toothpick Puzzle. Here 1s a neat little trick for the younger ones.

All that Is necessary is\to take away the two tooth-picks at each upper corner and the middle toothpick in the bottom row. PROFIT IN RAISING GOATS. Milly end Rocky Ground Unsuitabl for Farming Might Be Used, At present there are only a fev places In the United States where mile! goats are raised, says the St. Loul Globe-Democrat. The work of breedin, and testing 1s carried on by a few pro gressive men and women who hav. faith In the future industry. A num ber of communities keep goats both fo: the milk and the flesh of the kids ‘There are some goat farms in the east some In the middle west and som in the west and southwest. Not all sections are well adapted t successful results with the animals, yet there are large areas In nearly every State of the Union where they can bk raised with profit. The area for their profitable handling will probably be enlarged when their habits and condi- tlons for health shall have become gen- erally known. Goats In general, which Is true of mileh goats, thrive best on hilly and Tocky land, but they may be success- fully raised on level land, which, how- ever, must not be wet or swampy. They do well in both cold and warm climates, but the short-haired yarlety suffer from the extreme cold if some shelter 1s not provided. Otherwise they are affected by cllmate about the same as sheep are, except that very young kids are slightly more tender than young lambs. ‘ Milch goats, like all goats, are great foragers, subsisting on weeds and brush as well as upon good grass pas- ture. For this reason they can be made 8 source of great profit to farmers having rough land, unfit for general farming, and who care to raise them for breeding purposes. _ There are thousands of acres of hilly and rough land unfit for farming vege- table crops In the United States at present that could be put into practical use by fencing them for mllch goats, as {t 1s already done for Angora goats. The females, however, when the milk is used for human consumption, must be glven wholesome food and kept from brush and weeds. As a cow's milk Is tainted by the cow eating weeds, $0 a goat’s milk is tainted by eating gar- bage and brush leaves. When they are fed fresh. clean food their. milk Is as wholesome to the: taste as cow's milk. Many prefer {t to cow's milk because It has sweeter taste. ‘The milk of the goat 1s not only rich- er than that of the cow, but the quan- tty Is fully as large, if not larger, compared with its size. A good aver- age pure-bred mileh goat gives about two quarts of milk dally. - Snati's Real Pace.

When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sorres and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofa, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it.

"She wasn't one bit like the girls who indulge in public flirtations; she was so tall and cold and stately," began the car conductor who observes things. "When she got in at 35th street I saw her catch his eye immediately. "He seemed indifferent and turned his head away. She squeezed into the seat next to him and he became absorbed in looking out of the window. "She went to all sorts of trouble to attract his attention, that girl. I saw her myself. Finally she jangled her chatelaine loudly and looked at him alluringly from beneath her long-lashed eyes. "Then he turned and gazed at her questioningly. She smiled, a bright, unabashed smile, with the whole car looking at her. "Something in that smile warned him, and"—here the conductor paused impressively and tried to hide the twinkle in his eye—"he reached out two pink, chubby little hands to grasp her dangling chatelaine. "Well, sir, she kissed one of those chubby little hands and pinched his little apple red cheeks and then asked the woman who held him a question. Guess it was his mother and she asked how old he was."—New York Sun. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

Not Excluding American Students: The authorities of the University of Berlin say that statements published abroad to the effect that the stringent regulations concerning the admission of students are designed to exclude many Americans altogether are untrue. Any graduate of an American college who presents a passport and the diploma of bachelor of arts or any other equivalent degree will be admitted without any questions. It is true that the diplomats of some of the smallest institutions bearing the name of colleges are omitted from the list of those recognized. The new regulations are directed against Russians not having sufficient means of support or who are academically unqualified. White Animals Can't Smell. "Pure white animals," said a pet stock dealer, "have no sense of smell. Hence they are continually eating things that disagree with them, and in eight cases out of ten poison themselves and die. Pure white pigs should never be allowed to run loose in the fields and woods. For, without the protection of a sense of smell, such pigs, when they get out, eat all sorts of polsonous roots and berries and die off rapidly. In Africa the white rhinoceros polsonis itself by eating the euphorbia, and pure white sheep are difficult to rear because they are continually munching shrubs and grasses that don't agree with them." Butler's F!ag. Feb. 21, 1866, General Benjamin F. Butler presented to congress the first genuine American flag, male of American materials by American labor, ever constructed in this country.

There were twenty-six stars in the flag at that time. An Evidence of Value. "I suppose you can remember when a lot of this land could have been bought for a song?" "Yes," answered Farmer Corntossel.

PORTLAND. OREGON Two Dollars Spent for Every One Taken Out of the Ground. More than double the amount of money taken out in gold in the Nome district was expended during the last season in the purchase of supplies and development work. In other words, two dollars were expended for every dollar that was taken out of the ground in the form of mineral wealth. The Nome district produced about $6,000,000 in gold and $12,000,000 or even more was expended in the district. This is according to a conservative estimate made by John Rigby, chief engineer of the Nome Improvement Company, who has returned to Portland for the winter. "Last season, was a poor one," Mr. Rigby said, "because of the dry weather, the consequent low water interfering with much of the placer mining. With plenty of water the output would have been much larger. "Much of the money expended in Nome this year was in development work, from which the investors will not realize, if at all, until later. The men who took out the money are not the ones who spent the most money. Those who are after the gold are the ones who spend the most. The history of nearly all mining camps is that more money is spent than is taken out in gold. "Nome is still the camp of the small miner. The big companies have not grabbed up everything as yet and will not until the rich pay streaks are exhausted. When the rich pockets have all been found and only the low grade ore and sands remain to be mined the big companies will have to do it, as that kind of operating requires a big initial investment. There are hundreds of individual miners near Nome who are working small placer claims. "There are hundreds of claims around Nome which are tied up in litigation and because of the many lawsuits the production of gold is not as large as it would be if all the claims were free. The federal court is crowded with work and is a year behind. "During 1900 and 1901 there was a great rush into Nome. People were wild in their pursuits of wealth and they had been led to believe that all of the land near Nome for miles around was good. So they staked out thousands of claims. Eventually they drifted back to the States and for the most part left their claims in the hands of others, to whom they gave the power of attorney. "But little development work was done on the claims and in later years many of them have been relocated. Rich deposits were overlooked by the first locaters. Learning that the old claims were of value, many of the original locaters or those who represent them are now trying to renew possession of them. This is the cause of the constant litigation."—Portland Oregonian. Trouble Ahead 10: Turkey The Sultan of Turkey is said to be dying. Anticipating the near approach of the end, he has named his third son as his successor in violation of law and precedent, which require that the oldest member of the family shall occupy the throne. If this law were obeyed the Sultan's successor would be his brother, Mohammed, who is now practically a prisoner in one of the imperial palaces on the Bosporus, but he is suspected of liberal tendencies and Abdul Hamid will not permit him to ascend the throne. Nor will he permit his eldest son to succeed him, although there is no personal reason why he should not do so. He has selected his third son, who has just reached his majority, presumably because the lad is a great favorite and protege of Emperor William of Germany. The Sultan's action will lead to trouble, as there is considerable opposition to it. The Great Unwashed. President Arthur Hadley of Yale has a couple of sons who inherit a good deal of the genius and independent thought of their father. One morning Mrs. Hadley got up and went into the bathroom and found her youngest, aged about 5, busy sailing tin swans and fish in the bathtub, guiding them with a magnet. She gathered up the toys and told the youngster that he must defer his amusement, as his papa wanted to take his bath. The child submitted with bad grace, but went out in the street. Presently he met a lady. "Do you want to know something?" he remarked. "The President of Yale College won't have any bath this morning. Do you want to know why?" Cause I have got the plug to the bath tub in my pocket, and it's going to stay there, see?"—Life. Aromatic Petit Larceny. "I hope you notice how sweet I am," smiled the girl when they were out on the street again. "While the man was wrapping up the toothbrush I was trying all the perfume on the counter.

If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, billiousness, headaches, etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co, is plainly printed on the front of every package.
