Sacramento, Cal., Mar. 1.—The lower house of the legislature today passed a sweeping anti-Japanese and anti-Chinese measure, introduced by Assemblyman Drew, of Fresno. The bill is known as the "anti-alien property holding bill." It is aimed at the Japanese and Chinese property owners in this state and is intended to prevent them from acquiring and owning property for a longer period than five years. In urging the passage of the bill Drew stated that since January 1 of this year one-third of the property transfers in Fresno had been to Japanese. The bill provides that any alien who does not become a citizen of the United States shall acquire and hold title to land in this state for not more than five years. If within that time the alien does not become a citizen, the district attorney shall compel the sale of his land or houses. Japanese and Chinese are not specifically named, but, as they cannot become citizens, the bill is aimed directly at them and precludes them from owning property for more than five years. The measure also provides that no contract, agreement or lease of real estate for a longer period than one year shall be made to any alien and any lease, agreement or devise of real estate made to any alien for a longer period shall be null and void. The impression is given out that if the bill reaches the governor he will sign it. LABORATORY FOR NORTHWEST Agricultural Department Will Establish One Soon. Washington, March 1.—In the near future the department of Agriculture will locate a pure food laboratory in some Northwestern city and make it headquarters for the examination of all food products imported into that section from abroad. Investigations are now being made to determine whether it shall be located at Portland or Seattle. Senator Bourne is urging the department to locate the laboratory in Portland, but before this can be done Portland must convince the department that its food imports exceed those of Seattle, or else offer advantages in the way of quarters that cannot be obtained at Seattle. The department desires to locate the laboratory in a public building. It is of the greatest importance to Portland to make a creditable showing, for if the laboratory is located there rather than at Seattle, it will have a tendency to increase importations of food products at that port, where they can be properly examined, rather than at other ports where there would necessarily be delay. Mr. Bourne is looking to the chamber of commerce to support him in his efforts. STICKS TO HERMANN. Former Private Secretary Says Good Things for Defendant. Washington, March 1.—The prosecution in the trial of Representative Hermann consumed today in a futile attempt to break down the evidence given yesterday by Elliott P. Hough, former private secretary to the defendant, which was most favorable to Hermann. Hough had been put on the stand by the prosecution with the expectation that his testimony would be damaging to the defendant, and District Attorney Baker was incensed that he should give evidence so much in Hermann's favor as his statements yesterday that Hermann and John A. Benson, who is under indictment for alleged land frauds, were not good friends; that, if official letters got into Hermann's private books it was through his fault; and that it had been the custom of all outgoing commissioners previous to Hermann's time to take their private letterpress copybooks with them. Christian T. H. Muller and Alexander E. Foster, who had been messengers in the land office under Hermann and who destroyed the letterpress copybooks by his iracite, testified to the part they had played. Mr. Muller received an order from Hermann three weeks before the latter retired to take the letterbooks, about 35 in number, from Hermann's private room. Beatty to Continue Duties Boise, Idaho, March 1.—“In answer to a telegram received from the attorney general asking me to withhold my resignation for a time,” said Judge J. H. Beatty, of the United States District court, today, “I sent a telegram stating that I would willingly continue the duties of my office until after the March term. If by that time my successor has not been named, I shall probably urge the people in Washington to push matters.” The telegram to Judge Beatty arrived some days after his resignation had started for Washington. Favors Philippine Bank Bill Washington, March 1.—The house committee on insular affairs today decided to make a favorable report on the Philippine agricultural bank bill as passed by the senate. CHANGE ALL AROUND CHANGE ALL AROUND President Reorganizing Heads of Canal Board. CAN FIND NO PLACE FOR OLLIVER Stevens Will Retire Early Next April After Successor is Thoroughly Washington, Feb. 28.—The president conferred at the White House today with Secretaries Taft and Root regarding the details of the reorganization scheme for the Panama canal work. It is understood that Colonel Haines and Benjamin Harrod, civil engineers, both members of the present commission, will retire. Admiral Endicott, the only remaining member of the old commission, will be retained, as the law requires that one naval civil engineer shall be included in its membership. Majors Goethals, Gaillard and Siebert, who were named as members of the commission, will receive salaries considerably in excess of those they now receive, namely, $4,000 a year. It is the intention to divide among them the salaries now paid to Messrs. Shonts and Stevens, aggregating $60,000 per annum, as long as they are engaged in canal work. It is stated that Chief Engineer Stevens resigned with the statement that he would remain in charge of the isthmus until his successor arrived and was thoroughly initiated into the new duties and prepared to take them over. It is probable the transfer can be effected early in April. It will be necessary for the army engineers to make a personal inspection of every part of the canal construction work before any determination can be made as to the method of conducting work in the future. The president's letter yesterday indicated that there might be a recurrence to the contract plan, but even if that should be the case, the officers will find themselves able to manage the work in a supervisory capacity, just as they now do several of the large river and harbor projects in execution in this country. Telegrams were received at the White House today from the South, asking the president to name W. J. Olliver, whose bid for the construction of the canal was rejected, as a member of the Isthmian Canal commission. Mr. Taft said tonight that he did not believe the president was considering such appointment. Mr. Olliver said he would not accept the place if it were tendered him. When he has been officially notified that the bid of the Panama Canal Construction company has been rejected, Mr. Olliver will give out a statement for publication. Net Friendly With Benson; Only Did as Other Commissioners. Washington, Feb. 28.—Two important points for the defense developed today in the trial of Representative Hermann. One was that Hermann was not on friendly terms with John A. Benson, the San Francisco real estate dealer now under indictment for alleged land frauds, the other that Hermann's predecessors in the land office had all, with one exception, removed their private letter press books from the office when they retired. Mr. Worthington for the defense scored his two points in the cross-examination of Elliott P. Hough, former private secretary to Hermann. In answer to questions, Mr. Hough said that upon one occasion Benson came to see Hermann the land office and complained bitterly at the action of the land office in not allowing his claim for a survey made in California. The survey was under a $50,000 contract. The land office held that the claim was fraudulent that the alleged survey had never been made. Benson was very angry, and Hermann, during the interview, became incensed. Votes Down Jim Crow Car. Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 28.—The constitution of the porposed new state of Oklahoma will not contain a plank providing for separate coaches and waiting rooms for the two races. By a vote of 46 to 31 the convention this morning laid on the table the committee report urging the "Jim Crow" measure. While the majority of the delegates were elected on platforms endorsing the separate coach law, the result was due to the alleged attitude of the president on the question and the terms of the enabling act. Fever Prostrates Crew Norfolk, Va., Feb. 28.—The battleship Connecticut, proceeding from Southern waters to New York with an epidemic of typhoid fever among her crew, was in communication with Norfolk by wireless telegraph tonight when off the Virginia capital. A message from the Connecticut says 15 of the men stricken with typhoid are in a critical condition. Age HERMANN SCORES. Fever Prostrates Crew LET NO CONTRACT. President Decides to Let Army Engineers Dig Canal. Washington, Feb. 27.—By an order addressed to Chairman Shonts of the Isthmian Canal commission today, President Roosevelt, as far as lay in his power under existing law, transferred to the engineer branch of the army the responsibility for the further construction of the Panama canal. He also formally recorded the abandonment, for the present at least, of the project of having the canal work done by contract on the percentage system. Another feature was the announcement of the resignation of John F. Stevens as engineer in chief of canal construction. Mr. Shonts is in New York, where he will tomorrow preside at a meeting of the directors of the Panama Railroad company, of which he is president, and will formally resign that office. The president intends that there shall be an entire reorganization of the commission with three army officers of the engineer corps as its leading members, who are to have charge of the engineering features of the canal work. The chairman and engineer in chief of the commission will be Major G. W. Goethals. His associates will be Major DuB. Gaillard and Major William L. Siebert, to rank in the order named. These officers are all comparatively young, ambitious and energetic. Senator Joseph S. C. Blackburn, of Kentucky, who will retire from the United States senate on March 4, is to be made a member of the reorganized commission. HELPED LAND THIEVES. Informer About Frauds Betrayed by Hermann. Washington, Feb. 27.—Interest in the trial of Representative Hermann was revived today by the introduction in evidence of letters written him in 1901 by Benjamin T. May of La Grande, calling his attention to specific land frauds in Oregon and a later letter criticizing Hermann for omitting to make an investigation of the alleged frauds, and also for having made known to interested parties the name of the informer. After their identification by May, the letters were read to the jury. The first was from May to Hermann and informed him that sawmill owners were securing title to public land in the Blue mountains by fraud. Their plan was to get an employee to file on a certain tract and, when the claim was proved up, the employee was to deed the property over to them and receive $50 for his work. One firm kept a man employed to look out for the best timber land and to secure it in this manner for his firm. In the year preceding the writing of this letter May charged that this firm had placed on record about 60 deeds secured in this manner. May concluded his letter with the statement that he was a poor laborer and had no air to grind and only desired to keep out land grabbers. HARRIMAN EXPLAINS. Tells Interstate Commerce Commission a Few Things. New York, Feb. 27.—An assertion by E. H. Harriman that Stuyvesant Fish was deposed from the presidency of the Illinois Central because of misconduct as to the funds of the company was a leading feature of today's session of the Interstate Commerce commission. Mr. Harriman was the only witness of the day, the events brought out by his testimony making the hearing a memorable one. Other features of Mr. Harriman's testimony follow: A continued refusal to answer questions relating to individual stock transaction. Explanations of the transfer of 300,000 shares of Southern Pacific stock to William G. Rockefeller during the attempt of James R. Keene to secure control of the road and of the delayed announcement of the dividends on Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Attempts of the government to show that the Union Pacific charges unfair rates, stifles competition in the vast territory traversed by its lines and its dividend of 10 per cent and its expenditure of $240,000,000 on betterments came from an unfair toll on its patrons. Miners Vote for Advance. Butte, Mont., Feb. 27.—The vote of the Miners' union on the increase of wage scale resulted 2,349 in favor and 1,068 against, the new scale of $4 to take effect May 1. Many miners did not vote. The mines of Butte will continue in operation, notwithstanding the demand, but development work in all of the Amalgamated properties will cease. Officers of the union are emphatic, however, that there will be no strike. Companies will devote all time and energy to taking out ore and making copper. Two-cent Fare is Law in Indiana. Indianapolis, Feb. 27.—The governor today signed the 2-cent railroad fare act. It has no emergency clause, and goes into effect with the publication of the new laws about May or June. NO. 45.

Of all the perils that beset free government, none 1s so funda- mentally destructive as the peril of a Press controlled in the interests of re- action and qperating by mlsrepresen- tation. One of the most productive sources of revenue in Great Britain ts the in. come tax. France also finds this tax & successful method of raising money, and It 1s not unknown in other Euro- pean countries. European writers on Palitical economy maintain that It is the {deal tax. The Inheritance tax also 1s common abroad. When a man dies his heirs have to pay over to the state a certain percentage of thelr in- heritance. These taxes are resorted to in America, In thirty-two of the States some form of inheritance tax 13 levied either upon the property inherited by collateral heirs only, or upon that which goes to direct as well as to dis- tant heirs. It varies from one-half of one per cent to twelve per cent, according to the amount and nearness of kin. In the wealthy States the tax Fields considerable revenue. The tax on Income ts much less common, for ‘It prevails in only six States, and Is not rigidly enforced. In some States there is evidence of an attempt to make it equitable, for income derived from property otherwise taxable Is ex- empt. The right to ralse money by levying on inheritances and Incomes 1s que which the States may exercise at discretion. They may not ralse money by taxes on Imports; that right 1s re- served to the national government. The national government has on more than | one occasion levied taxes which the States may also levy. There was a national Income tax from 1862 tq 1872, and In 1894 Congress provided again for such a tax, but the Supreme Court | declared the law unconstitutional. The ’ tast time Inheritances were taxed by the nationa! government was during ' the war with Spain. In this country both the State and the gation may tax!) the same Inheritance, whereas in Eng-', land and France the national govern- |’ ment alone has power to levy such e tax.

"I was visiting," said Arnot, "among my people in the wynds and closes of Edinburgh. I stood away back and looked up at the high houses to see whether Betty Gordon, an aged saint of God, was at home. I knew that she was at home by this sign, that her flower pots were out upon her window sill, that, the blind was up. I knew Betty was in, for when she went away she carefully took in the flower pots and pulled down the blinds. fellowship is in Christ, and when the name of Jesus is spoken there band of union.—J. W. Chapman, I The Power of Prayer. Prayer, not only in the morn watch, but prayer sent volleess the heart from hour to hour, there is wakeful, hallowed, calm. It be beautiful with that beauty of which eye hath not seen. And daing hallowed thus, do not omit make holy the night. Take by power of prayer, through the wild of dreams, the sanctifying present. One who loves us. * * * Prayer, initially lived in, makes the pre of a holy and loving God the air life breathes, and by which it live that, as it mingles consciously with work of the day, it becomes also a of every dream. To us, then, it w "I knew that she was poor and needy, but she trusted God, and I was so glad that somebody had given me some money that morning to give to the poor. I put aside Betty's rent for a month in my pocket and went into the close, and climbed up the winding stairs to Betty's door. At first I knocked softly, but there was no answer. Then I pulled the bell, but there was no answer. Then I knocked louder, but there was no answer. At last I said, 'Betty forgot to pull down the blinds, and she has gone out, leaving her flower pots there. What a pity!' Then I went down the stairs. "The next morning I went back and knocked at the door. After a little waiting Betty came and opened it. "Oh,' she said, 'is it you, Mr. Arnot? I am so glad to see you. Come in.' There were tears in her eyes and a look of care. "I said, Betty, woman, what are you crying for' "Oh,' she said, 'Mr. Arnot, I am so afraid, I am so afraid of the landlord. He came yesterday and I had not the rent, and I dinna open the door, and now I am afraid of his coming, for he is a hard man." "Betty, what time did he come yesterday?" "He came between eleven and twelve o'clock,' she said. 'It was twenty-five minutes to twelve.'" "Well,' I said, 'it was na the landlord; it was I, and I brought you, Betty, this money to pay your rent." "She looked at me and said, 'Oh, was it you? Did you bring me that money to pay my rent, and I kept the door shut against you, and I would not let you in? And I heard your ringing, and I said, "That is the landlord; I wish he would go away." And it was my almne sister. It was my alm Lord who had sent ye as His messenger, and I would na let ye in.'" That is just like some sinners. When Jesus is knocking at their hearts they treat Him as if He were a hard landlord, and will not let Him in. God's Power. Men are apt to ascribe the limitation of God's manifestations in the world's affairs to His lack of power, to His lack of interest. The materialistic scientific view is that Nature's laws are inexorable; that they are not subject to modification or alteration, and that therefore prayer is futile. Too hasty acceptance of this view often paralyses or sterilizes the prayers even of the devout in heart. The limitations of God's intervention are put down to man's limitation of faith. We expect nothing and get nothing. We expect a little, and God stays His hand, but not without reminding us that absolute fullness of blessing is at the command of those who believe that God is willing and able to show His power to the uttermost. It is a form of natural law in the spiritual world that those who trust Nature fully and commit abundant seed to the earth, reap more abundant harvests than those who fear the apparent waste. It is a notable fact that the testimony of people with abundant faith is that God fulfills every promise to the uttermost. Affliction Stars shine brightest in the darkest night; torches are the better for beating; spices smell sweetest when pounded; young trees root the faster for shaking; vines are the better for bleeding; gold looks the brighter for scouring; glow-worms glisten best in the dark; junifier smells sweetest in the fire; pomander becomes most fragrant for chasing; the palm tree proves the better for pressing; cannonile, the more you tread it, the more you spread it. Such is the condition of all God's children; they are the most triumphant when most tempted, most glorious when most afflicted, most in the favor of God when least in man's; as their conflicts, so their conquests; as their tribulations, so their triumphs. Heavy afflictions are the best benefactors to heavenly affections. And where afflictions hang heaviest, corruptions hang loosest, and grace that is hld in Nature, as sweet water in rose leaves, is then most fragrant when the fire of affliction is put under to distill it out—Spencer. Our Standing Before God. In the Epistle, to Philemon, which gives us the story of the running away of Onesimus, his conversion under the influence of Paul, and his return to Philemon, his master, Paul uses this significant expression, "If thou count me, therefore, a partner, receive him as myself. If he hath wronged thee or oweth the aught, put that on my account;" and it gives to me an illustration of what I am privileged to enjoy as a follower of Jesus Christ. My standing before God is the same as that of His Son, and all who have been born again may claim the same blessing because our standing is the same, our fellowship is in Christ, and wherever the name of Jesus is spoken there is a band of union—J. W. Chapman, D. D. The Power of Prayer. The Power of Prayer. Prayer, not only in the morning watch, but prayer sent volceless from the heart from hour to hour, then life is wakeful, hallowed, calm. It becomes beautiful with that beauty of God, which eye hath not seen. And day being hallowed thus, do not omit to make holy the night. Take by the power of prayer, through the wild land of dreams, the sanctifying presence of One who loves us. * * * Prayer, continually lived in, makes the presence of a holy and loving God the air which life breathes, and by which it lives, so that, as it mingles consciously with the work of the day, it becomes also a part of every dream. To us, then, it will be no strange thing to enter heaven, for we have been living in the things of heaven.—Stopford A. Brooke. Our Own Company. No company depends so much upon what we bring to it as our own. Solitude blesses we when bless, and curses when we curse. If we are noble, it gives us back our life's integrity, iridescent with the divine glory; if we have been pure, its quiet breezes chosten our purity and whisper peace. If we have been mean, it searches out our meanness and strips us naked. The night shineth as the day, and in vain we try to hide ourselves. There is in the silence a forecast of wrath to come.—Rev. W. Charter Piggott. The Life of Love. We lose what on ourselves we spend; We have, as treasure without end, Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend, Who givest all. Whatever, Lord, we lend to Thee, Repaid a thousandfold will be, Then gladly will we give to Thee, Who givest all— To Thee, from Whom we all derive; Our life, our gifts, our power to give O may we ever with Thee live, Who ever all Do Good. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storms of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year; you will never be forgotten. Your name, your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind as the stars on the brow of evening. Good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven.—Dr. Chalmers. SALT RIVER IS NO FABLE. Stream of That Name Flows Into the Ohio South of Louisville Ohio south of Louisville. Salt River, sacred to defeated candidates, is a real stream. While not navigable, it is used every winter as an ice harbor by the towboats which go out of Pittsburg for the south. Salt River empties into the Ohio about twenty-five miles south of Louisville. It is a small stream which flows from the Kentucky hills to the great water and is as tortuous, as crooked and as unpleasant to navigate as the mind can imagine. Yet it is navigated for a short distance from its mouth by steamers of light draft. Flatboats and rafts are floated down upon its bosom. Before the Civil War it was an important stream in the matter of bringing Kentucky whisky down in the flatboats to a point where they could be unloaded to a river steamer. Refractory slaves were generally assigned to the task of bringing these boats down, as the work was arduous. Salt River became a bugaboo among the negroes and it was from the unpleasant character of the work on this river that "a trip up Salt River" came to be used in politics to express the destination of a defeated candidate. The name is supposed to have come from the salt springs which flow into it at its source. Summer Frills in Storage. "As everybody knows," said the householder to a New York Sun writer, "people send their winter furs to storage warehouses and to dealers for safe keeping through the summer. This is an ancient practice. But later this summer storage of winter-worn articles came to include many other things besides furs; people took to sending in winter garments of all sorts, woolen cloaks and overcoats and suits of woolen clothes, and in time there came to be included rugs and carpets, and now there are stored in summer fine furniture and tapestries and innumerable mounted heads of fur-bearing animals. "Yet while I had had occasion to know something of all this, I had supposed that this form of storage was a summer business only, whereas now I discover that it is carried on throughout the winter as well. "We found our summer clothes in the way and we needed the room they occupied. Why couldn't we store them, we thought, and really that seemed to us a bright idea, and we went down to the place where for years we had turned in our winter clothes in the spring for storage through the summer and asked them about it and they said, why, certainly, they took summer goods for winter storage and they'd send for ours right away. "So we shan't be bothered with looking after those thin clothes any more through the winter and we shall have the space they occupied for other things. And incidentally we discovered that a business that once was confined to summer alone is now kept going the year around."—New York Sun. Wise is the man who doesn't expect to get a square deal where the horses go round. L. R. MANNING, Pres. A. T. HOSMER, Secy' L. R. MANNING & CO., Inc. Real Estate Loans and Investments.

Notwithstanding the complaints about the water system, and the de- mands for its reorganization, and for better service and cheaper water, no- body proposes to turn the water sys- tem over to a private corporationand place the city at its mercy, Such a proposition would be voted down al- most unanimously. Then why do the people continue to allow a private cor- poration to own and operate the elec: trie light system, giving the people an abominable service at exorbitant rates? There is just as much reason for the city owning its light system as its water system. Both elements are natural products, or at least elec- tricity is a natural force and so is the water power, and the conversion of the electric force into light is a very simple process. The light is carried trom the source of power by wire con- duits; the water is carried by pipe conduits; the eity should own or con- trol the source of one as much as the other, Both light and water are of universal use; everybody must have them, and it is one of the very first duties of government to supply the people with such universal necessities, their sources or materials being fur- nished freely by nature, as cheaply as possible. That a great city like Port- Jand would own and operate its own ‘waterworks, as a matter of course, and yet make no move to also own and operate its light plant, is curious. If public ownership is a good thing in the one case, it is in the other. ‘That the city is grossly overcharged for the lights it uses, and that the people are overcharged also as indi- vidual consumers, could be easily shown. When one thinks that the source of power is practically free, and that transmission, once the wires are up, is almost free also, and that the expense of maintenance and oper- ation is comparatively small, and then considers what an enormous number of customers the company has, every- body paying for its light, it can be readily perceived that the profits must be very great. And these profits ought to go back or rather be kept in the first place in the people's pockets. It would seem that if the city gives this light and power octopus the priv. lege of using the streets, without which it could do no business what ever, it ought to furnish the city free lights, or at least lights at about cost, in recompense for such a vastly valu able privilege. But the city not only has to pay for its lights after having given this monopoly the use of its streets, but must pay an exhorbitant price, probably 100 per cent more thar could be figured as the cost and a fait profit. Not only so, but the city pays a very large sum annually for light: that it does not get at all. Sometime: ‘a lot of them are out for a few min utes only, sometimes for hours, and this may happen during dark evenings so that people have to grope their wa} home as best they can—but the bil is just the same. The company doesn’ Know its lights are out, or doesn’ care, when it makes out its bill. ‘The people are taxed entirely tov much for light in their houses an Dusiness places, too, As we have in dicated, light in a city as large a Portiand ought to be very cheap. Wit! the hundreds of thousands of lights costing but little more than a ver few, the cost per light, or per hhouse ‘ought to diminish as the city grows Dut as this octopus has a monopol: ‘of course it will not reduce the pric until it has to. ‘Under such circumstances the cit ‘ought to make a move for public owz ership of the electric light system. Condemn the whole plant, have a court and jury determine its value, issue bonds payable in 50 years at a low rate of interest, appoint a light commission composed of citizens of high character, and so cut off one claw of this intolerable octopus that has Portland so completely in its grasp. MORE TROUGLE BREWING. A press dispatch this week from El Paso, Texas, says: “Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry stationed at Fort Bliss have threatened to raid this city and citizens are arming them- selves and are ready for an outbreak. Between the Negro troops and whites saloon fights have been numerous. Four of the soldiers assaulted a white man, but were overpowered and driven back to the barracks. A notice was sent to the officers of the fort that [the soldiers must be kept at the bar- racks if they wanted to avoid a clash, ‘The citizens also warned the soldiers that they would find the white men of El Paso prepared to meet them any time, The guardhouse at Fort Bliss Is said to be filled with fractious Ne- gro soldiers who have had trouble with the citizens in the city, and these are threatening to revenge the alleged insults to the soldiers. Several sol- diers have been beaten in saloon brawls and the officers at the fort have cut off permits for more than four Negro soldiers tobe absent from the post at the same time. All must be in quarters at 7 p. m.” It is at least quite probable that behind the account is a studied and systematized plot to get the colored soldiers at El Paso into trouble, and provoke them if possible into doing something like what ft was alleged some colored soldiers at Brownsville, in the game Bate; ald, ane tor watch they were discharged “without honor” and without a trial. It is well known that there is a rabid antipathy to the presence of colored soldiers in Texas, however well they behave, and the slightest misconduct on their part would subject them to all sorts of ex aggerated and invented accusations on the part of a portion of the people lot the town where they are quartered. ‘The above story has the earmarks of a fake and a canard on, its face. It is not at all probable that the soldiers have “threatened to raid the town,” and the statement that one white man was assaulted by four soldiers, but were driven back, is at least unlikely. ‘The dispatch reads all the way through as if it had been concocted not only to slander the soldiers and prejudice the public against them, but to lay a foundation for future accusa- tigns of a more serious nature. After tw® or three such reports have been sent out by the Negro-haters, we may expeet to hear that the soldiers have “shot up” the town, and if anybody should get killed in a row down there, which happens not very infrequently, doubtless the Negro soldiers will be charged with the murder, and there will be plenty of witnesses to swear to it; and then perhaps these troops will also be incontinently discharged “without honor.” | We presume these colored troops fare not perfect, and that they do not Jaiways behave like a Sunday School '|teacher in a church, but probably they '|are no worse behaved, and likely much ‘|better, than many white soldiers simi. ‘|iarly situated. Some of the latter ‘Jarink more than is good for them, and '|get into brawls, and no long dispatehe: ‘Jare sent out over the country: about ‘Jit. We don't believed these colored "| troops have made any such threats as ') are alleged, and if any of them did ‘|that it was because of indignities in ‘|fictea upon them by people who are '| determined to make trouble for them and get rid of them. — (eee nea Though pledged to do so, at least so far as Multnomah county members are concerned, the legislature repealed no perpetual franchises, not even the gas franchise, which it was particular- ly its duty to the people of Portland to do. What an absurd, unreasonable thing it is that this 50-year-old fran- chise, granted when Portland was a little town of 6,000 or 7,000 people, should be held sacred and binding up- cn the city, now and for all future time, so that a few men can make THE “NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON themselves millionaires every few years at the expense of the people. Isn’t it curious, wonderful, astonish ing, that 175,000 people will allow themselves thus to be imposed upon, swindled, robbed, and forced to pay an exhorbitant price for inferior gas year after year and decade after de- cade, and cannot elect anybody either to the legislature or the city council that will do anything to relieve them; but on the contrary elect men who will go back on their word and sell out to the gas company and the rest of the monopolistic corporations every time? The gas company now has a lease of its monopolistic life for two years more, at least, and even then it will have a few faithful servants among the hiold-over Senators, but it would seem impossible that it can prevent the revocation of those old franchises, and that without any compensation, again. To pay them for giving up the franchise after having made millions out of it, is about as cheeky a propo- sition as ever was made. It is as if some one had agreed to allow another to steal from him, and this had been going on for many years, and when the victim called the bargain off he should be told that he must pay the licensed theif a large sum in recom- pense for giving up his privilege, and this after he had become a muiti- millionaire, Mr. H. D. Green, who died some years ago, made a large fortune, even when. the town was comparatively small, out of the gas business, and we believe nobody ever heard of his do- ing anything for the benefit of the town; and since then other men have been getting very rich, by charging the people an extortionate price for poor gas—and the people can do noth- ing about it. They thought they could, and expected this legislature would repeal those old franchises, so that the city could assume some con- trol over this monopoly, but they were mistaken in the men they sent up a Salem. It appears that it was the gas company that they were intent on serving instead of the people, And te seems to be the same with a majority: of the council. So it may be hereafter, and perpet: ually, perhaps, but we think the peo- ple will begin to wake up soon to the importance and necessity of being more careful about the men they elect to these positions. MORE VICTIMS. ‘The street car octopus has two other victims this week, one man killéd outright and a boy nearly killed. ‘The cars had fenders, but of course they were of no use to protect these victims. They never have been of any use, and there is apparently no intention of ever making them so. What does the company care about a person run over and killed occasion: ally? It does care, of course, if dam- ages can be recovered by the family or heirs, to that extent; but it takes the chances on convineing a jury, or at least one juryman, that there was “contributory negligence,” and so con- tinues to use the worse than worthless fenders. It is true that a person on getting off a car should not go over across the other track without looking out for an approaching car, but on the other hand a motorman on passing a car that has Just stopped to let off a pas. senger ought to slow down and be on the lookout for just such an occur. rence, for a great many people do not stop to think about the other track, and this fact ought to be taken into consideration. In the case of the little boy the motorman may not haye been to blame, but the public cannot expect that first-class or competent motor. men will be employed, for it is not rea- sonable to suppose that many such men would work long for the starva. tion wages paid them. There Is scarce- ly any occupation, not involving much responsibility and intelligence, in which a man cannot earn larger wages and be far more independent, so it would be unreasonable to expect several hundred good men to perform these exacting services and submit to humiliation and a sort of serfdom for scarcely enough to procure only the barest necessaries of life. So the company would prefer to kill and maim persons occasionally, and incur the ill-will of the public gener- ally, taking chances on a damage suit once in a while, rather than go to the expense of paying its men decent wages, which would amount to an in. crease of $300 or so a day, and provid. ing their cars with up-to-date and best approved fenders and other equip. ment. Its motto is, “The public be d——”, and the public seems to agree that it deserves to be. MR. LOSS’ HARD FIGHT. | The troubles of Mr. Loss in carry: ing out his contract on the Drain-Coos Bay railroad, were due in part to the fact that he was so busy with the affairs of the United Railways, and this project, of immense value to Portland and the Willamette Valley, has been harrassed and blocked or iste and ujured ta eeay yoekine way by the octopus that has Portland ‘and a lot of other towns of this region in its clutehes, and wants to have no rivals or opponents. It aims to con- trol all the water power of Western Oregon, furnish all the lights, operate all the city, suburban and inter-urban railroads, and hold as great and abso- lute a monopoly as possible in this city and throughout the Willamette Valley. Therefore no sooner did Mr. Loss get capitalists interested in the United Railways project than this monopoly octopus “queered” the pro- ject with them, and he had to hunt up new men, It is stated now that the enterprise Is fairly on its feet at last and will go ahead, in spite of every: thing that the octopus could do to defeat it, but even now it is not safe to let it be known just who are its backers or what their program is, lest the malign influence of the tentaclea monopoly should yet be able to defeat or further delay it. It is quite probable that when the business at Drain is all sifted out it will be found that Mr. Loss’ troubles there, costing him $60,000 of his own money, are partly traceable to this same source, This greedy and re. morselegs devil fish will not allow any competing enterprise to exist in this region, if it can help it, and it will crush anybody if it has the power who seeks to help develop the country and benefit its people, if thereby he in- terferes in the least degree with its ‘operations and designs. The sooner Portland clips some of the claws of this omnivorous creature the easier it will be done, and if it is not done the concern will practically own or at least be in dictatorial control of the town before many years, It will elect councilmen, mayor, members of the legislature, even judges, and the peo- ple will be powerless in its greedy land blood-sucking grasp, The Government doesn't seem to be proving much against Binger Her- mann, but if it gets a fair excuse the juty may convict him on his reputa- tion and on general principles. State Printer Duniway put in an ex- pensive new plant, and so it would not have been fair to put him on a flat salary at first, as the Governor well knows. Getting a nomination is an expen- sive and difficult job; a poor man has to keep out of politics under this won- derful reform law of Mr, U’Ren’s. Ex-Senator Gearin has had enough of running for office against a big re- publican majority. But he doesn’t want to be Mayor, anyway. ‘The Governor has been having some fun with the defunct legislature this week, and it certainly gave him plenty of opportunity. Voters of the Fourth ward will doubtless all get a lot of free tickets to Baker's Theater this Spring. But won't there be a scramble for Chief of Police when Chief Gritz. macher quits next Summer? ——_— Because he had to veto or approve ‘one or two Normal school bills, the Governor was pretty mad. ‘Apparently Treasurer Werlein can stay there as long as he lives if he wants to. Next Monday is the last day of this Congress—and. of Senator Mulkey. ‘The county officers are happy; they didn't have to run this year. And still the Mayor quotes Scrip. ture, and thinks, d— it, It is not likely that Mr. Devlin will have a walkover.

Call and get acquainted with him. _____ tf Mr. T. B. Hall left last Sunday for Tonopah, Nev. _____ Mrs. Geo. W. Kinney was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital last week, suffering with pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Thompson, formerly of this city, lately of Seattle, Wash., have returned and contemplate residing here again. Mrs. J. Manley was the recipient of the sad news of the death of her sister, who passed away on the 19th inst. at Kalamazoo, Michigan. Mr. H. M. Grays, of No. 840 Union Ave. N., is spending a short vacation from his work at the mines in Northern California, with his family. Mr. Sam George, the genial and popular porter of Jas. Fulilove's tonsorial parlors, returned last week after a month's absence at Tonopah, New. Mr. Jas. Manley, of 393 Front street, left Monday evening to visit friends in San Francisco and Oakland, Cal. She expects to be gone several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Perring, lately of Tuscon, Arizona, are recent arrivals in our city, and being favorably impressed are contemplating purchasing a residence and remaining here. The reason why Mr. M. Halston was going around with his head in the clouds has been found to be due to the fact that his wife presented him last week with a bouncing daughter. Mother and child are doing well. Rev. Geo. E. Jackson, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, 13th and Main streets, left Tuesday evening for California to settle up some business affairs. He expects to be absent a week or ten days. Rev. J. B. Barbour will fill his pulpit until his return, each Sunday evening at 8 p. m. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Bethel A. M. E. church, which holds weekly meetings at the homes of the members, held an enjoyable session Thursday at the home of Mrs. A. D. Griffin. Although a young society, it is rapidly increasing in membership and bids fair to be a great help to the church. The Japanese employed by the Great Northern Railway as section hands having failed to "make good," the company has decided to employ Afro-Americans, and have sent to Missouri to secure 700 men and will place them at work immediately upon their arrival at Everett, Wash. On Monday evening a number of the friends of Miss Ruby Lancaster assembled at her residence to celebrate her 17th birthday, and old-fashioned candy pulling was the principal feature of the evening, accompanied with other games, music and songs. A pleasant evening was spent and it was midnight ere the jolly company bade adieu wishing the hostess many happy returns of the day. On the 21st inst, Mrs. Geo. Kiser gave a buffet luncheon in honor of Mrs. Jas. Manley, prior to her departure for California. The spacious parlors were elegantly decorated and the guests were entertained by classical and popular sentimental phonographic selections. Each guest was presented with a handsome carnation as a souvenir favor. Those present were: Mrs. J. Manley, Mrs. K. Duffey, Mrs. Redd, Mrs. Wilkinson, Mrs. L. B. Lejeune, Mrs. R. P. Roots, Mrs. C. A. Ritter, Mrs. J. Hanser, Mrs. Smith of Galveston, Texas, and Mrs. Geo. Kiser. The Congressional investigation of the Brownsville incident drags slowly along. So far the evidence would seem to establish the fact that the soldiers were not the ones to blame in the matter and that the President was at least hasty in the steps that he took in the matter, but we very much doubt if the gallant fight of Senator Foraker in the matter will result in righting the wrong to any great extent, as those in authority will fear the precedent set if the President's action should not be upheld. Some other solution of the matter will most likely result. The newly organized lodge of the I. B. P. Order of Elks have cause to be satisfied with the patronage accord, ed them at their first public entertainment, which was given at the large, handsome, new Murlark hall, on the 22nd inst. Whilst those who attended bear testimony that the committees in charge left nothing undone to make the affair one of the grandest ever given in Portland, Excellent music, polite and courteous committees, abundance of refreshments, all tended to hold the vast throng enthusiled until the clock struck 3, are the strains of "Home, Sweet Home" from the orchestra caused the affair to be spoken of as something past, but to be long remembered as one of the grandest social successes of the season. If the interest displayed by the members of the organization continues unabated we predict a bright and successful future for the organization. A BRIEF RECORD OF THE COL- ORED SOLDIERS. By W. P. Dabney. In the Colonial Wars, beginning early in the 17th century, the Negro distinguished himself as a protector of homes and also as a soldier. Crispus Attucks, a Negro, was the first American killed in a conflict with English soldiers, March 5, 1770. Peter Salem, a Negro, conspicuous in many battles, particularly at Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, where he killed the English commander, Major Plitcairn. Salem Poor, a Negro, in the same battle earned the title of hero and gained a monument. In the Revolutionary War thousands of Negroes were engaged and received honorable mention. Over 5,000 fought valiantly. In the War of 1812 the Negroes were commended both as soldiers and sailors, particularly at the battle of New Orleans, under Gen. Jackson, and on the lakes under Perry and McDonough. In the Civil War over 200,000 enlisted. Notably brave. Many great heroes, both on land and sea. The first blood shed in the Civil War was that of Nicholas Biddle, a colored man, 65 years old, who entered Washington with the Washington Artillery at Pottsville, Pa. The storming of Fort Hudson and Fort Wagner by Negro soldiers rank among the most heroic and desperate charges in history. Sergeant W. H. Carney, at Fort Wagner, though desperately wounded, held aloft the flag and when borne to the hospital whispered "Boys, the old flag never touched the ground." Robert Smalls, great Negro pilot, captured a Confederate vessel, "The Plainter," in 1862. Since that great conflict Negro soldiers took part in many bloody conflicts with Indians and during the Spanish-American War covered themselves with glory at La Juasima, El Caney, San Juan Hill and in the Philippines. The colored regiments at present in the service, famous throughout the world, are the 9th and 10th cavalry and the 24th and 25th infantry. Many of their members have been retired after long years of honorable mention or promotion. Sergeant Geo. Berry, 10th cavalry, retaliated Nov. 1, 1898, after thirty years of service, planted the United States flag under heavy fire on the top of San Juan Hill. When the Rough Riders needed food, Sergeant Mingo Saunders, a veteran of 26 years' honorable service, and his comrades, gave up their rations. CENTRAL CANADA THE MECCA A Country Rich in Material Resources Invites the Homeseker. The average American has little or no conception of the greatness of Canada and her wonderful natural resources. The popular idea is that this vast domain is a cold, barren wilderness, largely given over to trappers and persons engaged in the fur trade. True this was a fact until the advent of the great railway systems which now span the northern half of the North American continent, and in its wake came the settler and the home-seeker. The Canada of today, therefore, does not materially differ, in all the essentials of greatness, from the United States. It does differ, however, in a very important particular, and that is in the superiority of its soil and climate for growth of grains. For 5000 years wheat has been the chief foodstuff of mankind. Man has for all these centuries striven in vain for some other natural product and science has endeavored without success to discover some makeshift, but today as in the centuries ago, wheat still remains the "staff of life." Canada is the great wheat producing region of the world. It is no longer an experiment; it is a country of magnificent yields and in a right district is a country of sure crops. The H. E. Barnum Land Co., a pioneer concern with offices in Chicago, Minneapolis, Winnipeg and Portland, have done a great work in direction by liberal distribution of some very fine descriptive matter concerning Western Canada. The following is an extract from one of the booklets: "Western Canada where we operate is no longer a country of the future; it is a country of the present. Its agricultural possibilities have been proven for over twenty years. The country where we are operating has been tested by the homesteaders, and what we say is absolutely true. Settlers are pouring into the country as they never have before, not only from the United States, but from the Old Countries. One million acres have already been sold this year. Every train going in the West is running several sections. The homesteades within forty or fifty miles of an established railroad are already taken. It is not a question of getting cheap land but of getting land at all. The climate is no more severe than that of Minnesota. It is as healthy as any climate on the Continent. Fuel can be obtained in abundance where we are operating. There are forests within a reasonable distance which supply wood at very low prices, and we are near the coal district. As to crons, in the canvass of twenty settlers in our district, the lowest yield of wheat we have found is thirty bushels to the acre, and the highest, fifty-one bushels. Oats, barley and flax yield as good, if not better, than in the very best soil in any of the American States. One crop has paid for many poor man's farm. The school system in Canada is equal to that of the United States—about the same system is practised—and there is no difficulty in there being plenty schools. Taxes are low; personal property, for a reasonable amount, is exempt from taxes, and the ordinary taxes will run from $2.50 to $5.00 per quarter section. People are apt to take a map and think the country is too far North in the wilderness, but a trip through the country will show you farms, houses, and barns that will compare with the best in Illinois, Iowa or Minnesota. It is a country of the most wonderful possibilities, and, as the United States has been the wonder of the nineteenth century, Canada will be the marvel of the twentieth." plan of the colored churches, the people will never realize one-cent on the dollar; therefore, he "Resolved, That we denounce stigmatize all these associations companies that are now using the ored churches for selling stock colored people as unreliable worthless concerns, and we the worn the people about them. The Popularity of the Piano is In creasing Every Year. Not many years ago the possession of such a thing as a piano or organ was considered extravagance, and few indeed outside the rich enjoyed these luxuries. With march of progress and extension of education largely due to our public school system, the piano has become not a luxury but a necessity, and no home, however humble, where children are being raised, can afford to be without this valuable adjunct. Another reason why the piano has become a popular household fixture is the easy manner in which they can be acquired. One does not have to board his savings for years in order to buy a piano now-a-days. All that is necessary is to make up your mind to curtail expenses a few dollars a month and the instrument is paid for without missing the money. The old and reliable house of Sherman, Clay & Co., with branch stores in every important town and city on the Pacific Coast, carry the largest and most complete stock of pianos of any dealer in the West. They are Pacific Coast agents for the famous Steinway piano; also many other standard makes such as the Knabe, Everett, Mason & Hamlin, Hardman, A. B. Chase, Fischer, Packard, Conover, Ludwig, Kingsbury, Estey, Emerson, Sterling, Wellington, Huntington and Mendelssohn. Also Estey, Packard and Chicago Cottage Organs, Piano Players and Victor Talking Machines. OUR CHICAGO LETTER The New Age is on sale at Levy's News Stand, 506 Thirty-seventh st., Chicago. Chicago, Feb. 24, 1907. Special to the Portland New Age: Mr. B. G. Johnson, one of the prominent colored men of Chicago, has occupied the position of United States Instructor of Customs for 18 years. The Quinn Chapel Sunday School is among the largest colored Sunday Schools in Chicago. It has over 600 members. Mr. Smith is the superintendent, and Mrs. Townsend and Mrs. Susan Jeffreys are among some of the leading and active workers in the Quinn Chapel Sunday School. Will somebody please tell what Rev. A. J. Cary, of this city, has ever done or could do that he is to be called by some of the colored papers in Chicago a leader among his race. Will the Chicago Conservator please answer that question for the benefit of the Chicago colored people here and elsewhere. Mr. J. L. Parks, of 3155 State street, in the city of Chicago, is one of the leading undertakers in this city, and thoroughly understands his business and is a credit to the colored race. Mr. Adam M. Beckley, of 3613 Dearborn street, will deliver an address on "Race Unity" before the National Defense League at Ann Arbor, Mich., July 5, 1907. Mr. Clifton R. Wooldridge, who has been a police officer in the City of Chicago for many years, deserves the thanks and has the thanks of the people in Chicago for the great and splendid police work that he has done in the city of Chicago. Mr. Wooldridge travels out of the chief's office and is one among the most competent, gentlemanly and efficient police officers in this city. He has succeeded by his zealous and excellent judgment and great and splendid work in the last two years of driving out of Chicago a large number of fraudulent insurance companies and bogus concerns, he has had convicted and sent to the State Penitentiary at Jollet, and others have left the city and state. A few more excellent officers like Officer C. R. Wooldridge, all those that are engaged in fake and fraudulent schemes would find the city of Chicago an unhealthy and undesirable place for them to remain in. The Frederick Douglas Memorial Association of Chicago, that was organized in Chicago several years ago and held such a large and splendid meeting, at the time that it was organized, and the meeting was attended by a large number of distinguished persons, both white and colored, at the Auditorium. The Frederick Douglas Association held a meeting on last Monday and elected the following officers: Hon. John G. Jones, president; Mr. Edward E. Wilson, first vice-president; Dr. W. E. Mackey, second vice-president; Mrs. Elizabeth L. Davis, third vice-president; Mr. W. W. Johnson, fourth vice-president; Hon. E. H. Morris, treasurer; Mr. B. G. Johnson, secretary; executive committee: Rev. Jordan Chavis, W. M. Farmer, James A. Scott, F. A. Denison, Mrs. C. A. West, Rev. D. J. Donohoo, Rev. N. J. McCracken, C. J. Waring, W. H. Curd. The object and purpose of this association is to pay our annual respects to the memory of the late Frederick Douglas. The Calumet Club met last Thursday evening. Mr. Robert Campbell offered the following resolutions, which were adopted: "Whereas, There are several fake and fraudulent organizations among the colored people in the City of Chicago, and that the managers of them have been for some time collecting and soliciting money from the people and selling to the people of Chicago and elsewhere stock in worthless and fraudulent companies and associations that is not worth one cent on the dollar; and, "Whereas, It is a fact well known to a large number of the people in Chicago that the money that is invested in some of these fake and fraudulent associations and societies, especially some whom have been offering stock for sale, through the agency and plan of the colored churches, that the people will never realize one-half a cent on the dollar; therefore, be it. "Resolved, That we denounce and stigmatize all these associations and companies that are now using the colored churches for selling stock to the colored people as unreliable and worthless concerns, and we therefore warn the people about them. "Resolved further, That the thanks of this club are now extended to the editors of the papers that are published outside of the city of Chicago for giving publicity to the matter." Prominent Colored Men and Women of Today. Miss Ella Wilson, of Worcester, Mass., graduated from the High School of Worcester, Mass, a number of years ago with distinguished honors, and is now a most experienced teacher in the public schools of that city. She is one of the most popular and highly educated teachers that there is in the State of Massachusetts.

England's Greatest Hostess, the Duchess of Devonshire, Has Lost $2,000,000 tn Cash and a Palace Within a Decade. Brought to the verge of ruin by bridge whist, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire would be obliged to forfelt their estates were it not for the money lenders of England. Her mania for this form of gambling has Involved the venerable “Double Duchess” in no end of trouble and scandal and has cost her within the last decade no less than $2,- 000,000 in cash and a palace, besides. Unless some lucky circumstance pre- vents (not Improbable, since her grand- daughter, Lady Mary Taml!ton, 1s one of the richest girls in the world), Chatsworth House, the magnificent country home of the Devonshires, will become the prey of creditors and Dev- onshire House, the palace of Pleadilly, London, bas already been sold to pay gambling debts, though possession will not be given until the death of the duke. For the sake af reputation some of the scandalous gambling transac- tions will be kept from publicity by generous relatives.

Here 1s her full name and titles: Her Grace the Right Honorable Loulse Frederica Au- guste D’Alton Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, Marchioness of Harting- ton, Countess of Devonshire, Countess of Burlington, Countess d’Anhalt of Hanover, Lady Cavendish of Hard- wicke, Lady Cavendish of Keighley, Lady of Grace of St. John of Jerusalem and seventh Duchess of Manchester. The latter title has lapsed, It was In the days of the Prince Consort that the Countess Louise d’Anhalt went to London. Her father, the Comte d’Al- ton of Hanover, was in the train of the German princeling who married Vic- toria the Good. When she reached the age of 17 she was presented at cqurt and launched into society. She had been brought up In the strict German regime which also ruled the court of the period, and the giddy whirl of so- clety opened her eyes, Within a year she wed Lord Mandeville, who three sears Inter became His Grace of Man- shester, He was an inveterate gambler, aud wasted practically all his patro- mony at the card table. A son born at this union married Consuelo Yzanga, an American, and thelr son, the present Duke of Manchester, also married an American, Miss Helena Zimmerman, of Cincinnati, The other children of the Double Duchess have all married well. Her Romance, Karly in her married life the “Dou- ble Duchess” found herself deserted by her husband. Manchester preferred the gambling table to bis wife. She found consolation end companionship in s0- ciety, where she met the Marquis of Hartington, who stood high In politics as a right-hand man of Gladstone and a member of the cabinet. He was not an orator but was a clever and fascl- nating man and had the right of suc- cession to the dukedom of Devonshire ‘An amazing friendship grew up between the busy politician and the German beauty. As the years went on and he never married, but Kept close to the hem of the duchess’ gown, soclety potnt- ed it out as the Ideal platonic affec tion, In 1890 the Duke of Manchester died. The next year, by the death of the then duke, the Marquis of Harting- ton became Duke of Devonshire ,and Itne next year the widowed Duchess of Manchester became Duchess of Dvon- shire. She was 57 then, This was the climax of a romance watched by the whole world. A Manta for Bridge. When bridge whist was Introduced In London the Double Duchess became a strong supporter of the game. It be came a mania with her and the stakes were heavy wherever she played. Wheu it was discovered that at her parties a regular system of signaling to partners was practiced {t caused a temporary scandal, but did not break up the game. The duchess finally went to the contl- nent, her health broken by scandals and worrles over her losses, but she played abroad and when she returned to London it was the signal for some of the highest bridge play known In the history of the game. Many ladles were reported to have lost thelr jewels and thelr fortunes. Again were there storles af the duchess’ prodigious loss. es, Not long ago Willlam Waldort As tor bought Devonshire House for $%,- 000,000.

The details are written out on old parchment paper and proved to be an accurate history of the Chey- enne and Arapahoe Indians, It gave ‘an account of their religious rites and beliefs along with the traditions of the tribes. It deals freely with the tribal government for over 100 years and Is very extensive In covering the relation with the United States govern- ment. Many {mportant fights with troops and a description of the burying ground where some officers were interred are among the things. It was originally written In Indlan language and was translated by George Bent, an old-time Indian scout and plainsman. ‘The affairs of several other Indlan tribes who have been affiliated with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes are dealt with In the history. Among other things dealt with ts the history of the sacred arrows that were stolen by the Pawnee Indians and secured only recently by the Cheyennes by exchanging several hundred ponies Emerald Dating Back to Solomon.

To drive four horses abreast, two full sets of lines are not absolutely necessary as an arrangement such as that shown in the accompanying illustration can be used. Apple Seedlings. We are asked the question of seedling used in grafting apples any influence on the tree as to stress and if so what are the use. The apple seedling is the fourth for the tree, as the scion depends this at least the first two years establishing itself and forming a cleus of the future tree. In the there has not been given the at B B B B are the bits. A A are ordinary driving lines on the middle horses. C C are straps from the inside ring of the outside horses' bits fastened to the hame ring of the inside horses. D D are straps or extra lines reaching across from the ordinary lines to the outside ring of the bits of the outside horses. As a matter of convenience, one may attach these to the lines at the buckle, but that plan has this objection, if the outside horses are hard-mouthed it has a tendency to pull the lines out too far and worry the inside horses' mouths. This can be entirely overcome by making D D longer and attaching it further toward the hand of the driver. If one is driving FOR DRIVING FOUR HORSES. unbroken or vicious horses it is a good plan to run DD out far enough that the driver can slip his hands through the loops thus made and use them as a pair of holders are used on a hard-mouthed driving horse. In the second illustration the inside horses are shown with a tie strap fastening them together. In driving, tie the hand pieces of each off rein together, also those of the near horses, which, if of equal length, enables the driver to handle four horses with as much ease as two. Timothy hay is the one most commonly grown on the farm and found in the market, according to a Pennsylvania bulletin. Timothy sells for a higher price in the market than other hay, and is regarded as being particularly adapted to horses. It is deficient in protein, and for that reason should be fed with a grain ration of a nitrogenous nature. For horses no better basis for a ration can be found than timothy hay and oats. It is less valuable for cattle and sheep. Clover hay is next to timothy in common use, and the two are more often found mixed than either is found alone. The nitrogenous nature of the clover alps in supplying the deficiency of protein in the timothy. Clover is more valuable than timothy for cattle and sheep, but is not considered so satisfactory for horses. An Anti-Kicking Device. An arrangement which will cure the worst kicking cow that I have ever seen is shown in the sketch. Take a strong strap such as a heavy harness line and buckle it around the cow's body just in front or the udder. One must be very careful in placing it first on the kicking strong strap such as a heavy harness line and buckle it around the cow's body just in front or the udder. One must be very careful in placing it first on the kicking cow and not buckle STAP IN PLACE. cow and not buckle it too tight. She will probably object and jump around a little at first, but will soon become used to the arrangement and will not raise any more disturbance. A rope may be used instead of a leather strap if it is not tied too tight. Be gentle with the cow and treat her right and in a few weeks you can take off the strap and she will remain quiet. In case she begins to kick again, replace the strap and leave it on her for a while.—C. H. Parker, in Farm and Home. salt for dairy cows. The carefully kept cows on the Detroit dairy farm receives four ounces of salt dally, mixed with their feed. They eat their food better, and the owner thinks they do better when they have this amount than when the allowance is smaller. The cows are fed three times a day, and the salt is divided between the three feeds. Fine table salt is invariably used. The cows prefer it to coarse salt. Spring Pastures. When the spring opens there is a temptation to put stock on the pastures rather early in the season. This should not be done, as tramping by the animals may do harm. A heavy roller should be used over the pasture field so as to press down and smooth the surface for the mower, if the field is cut for hay. Very young grass or rye is laxative, and cows will fall off in the yield of milk if put on too early or kept on the pasture too long. Farm Brevities. Never pasture the alfalfa the first year. A healthy flock of sheep is a profitable flock. Mutton eaters are increasing faster than mutton. FARMERS Apple Seedlings. We are asked the question if the seedling used in grafting apple exerts any influence on the tree as to hardiness and if so what are the best to use. The apple seedling is the foundation for the tree, as the sclon depends on this at least the first two years for establishing itself and forming the nucleus of the future tree. In the past there has not been given the attention as there should have been to hardiness and adaptability of the stocks of our different fruit trees, and it has just commenced to be agitated by horticulturists the last few years. It has been the custom of many nurseries to import from France seedlings of French crab and domestic apples for grafting on. Many of these are known to be tender and hence many of the losses from trees dying out could be traced if we knew directly to the stocks on which the tree had been grafted. If we were to save seed from such varieties as Duchess of Oldenburg, wealthy, northwestern greening, etc., we would soon see a marked difference in the hardiness of our trees. Some of our painstaking nurserymen are very careful on this account and buy their apple seeds in Vermont or northern New York, where it is washed out of the pumice of the clder mills in sections where they have had for years large seedling orchards. While the fruit was inferior, yet the trees were hardy, and this is the only requirement in a stock, as the quality of the tree will always be influenced by the sclon.—Twentieth Century Farmer. Pruning the Plum Trees. It has been frequently noticed that old plum trees do not produce as good quality fruit as a rule as the younger trees and sometimes become very inferior and unproductive. In many cases the old trees would be benefited by severe cutting back, and besides that, it would be well to keep the plum tree in better training than has been the usual practice in the west; cutting back the long and spreading branches, and compelling them to head in short and close to the trunk. This might not be good practice for all varieties, and it would be well to undertake it with some care, selecting some few individuals and noting the effect of such pruning upon them.—Rural World. Halter Tie. The necessity of making a knot in the end of the halter every time the horse is tied in the stall is done away with by the invention of a North Dakota ranchman. Where a hundred or more horses are employed the time involved in tying them in the stalls each day is considerable. The halter tie, as shown in the illustration is with by the invention of a North Dakota ranchman. Where a hundred or more horses are employed the time involved in tying them in the stalls each day is considerable. The halter tie, as shown in the illustration, is made of one piece CANNOT SLIP. made or one piece of metal, through which extend two slots. These slots are wider at one end than at the other. By placing a rope through one of the slots and pulling on the same the rope is sure to become wedged in the slot tighter and tighter. The halter tie is nailed at the head of the stall in advance of the horse, so that the latter in pulling on the rope will force it more tightly into the slot. Only a few seconds are required to slip the rope into the slot and over a small hook at the inner end. While in this position there is no danger of the horse working the halter loose and roaming in the stable. Cultivating Young Trees. The soil will dry very rapidly and to a great depth if allowed to get hard and compact. There is but a small space left for air in solid soils, and from this fact they become hot and dry to a great depth in summer, while if air is present, as it is in loose soils (being such a poor conductor of heat), it will allow only a small portion of soil to become hot, which soon cools at night and is filled with a copious dew, not only retaining the moisture already in the soil, but also adding to it at a season when moisture is especially desirable. Newly set trees are always benefited by cultivation, because all their roots are surface roots and cannot thrive in a hot, dry, compact soil, hence the necessity of summer surface cultivation of newly set trees. Poisoning Cutworms. Poisoning Cutworms. Recent experiments in poisoning cutworms, which have been working on wheat and alfalfa, have shown the following mixture to be superior to spraying with paris green, as formerly recommended: Thoroughly mix while dry 1 pound of paris green and 50 pounds of wheat bran; make moist, but not sloppy, by adding water in which a quart of cheap molasses has been dissolved. Place this mixture in spoonful piles where the worms are working. It attracts the worms from the wheat and oats. It is also good grasshopper poison. Birds the Farmers' Friends. Professor Cook of the national agricultural department declares that of the 300 different kinds of birds, but three are the farmers' foes, the English sparrow leading. He held that, while the robin is looked upon as a destroyer of early fruit, his diet is but 1 pound of fruit to 9 pounds of insects.

Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently become torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the catarrh poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and every symptom disappears, the constitution is built up and vigorous health restored. S. S. S. also tones up the stomach and digestion and acts as a fine tonic to the entire system. If you are suffering with Catarrh begin the use of S. S. S. and write us a statement of your case and our physicians will send you literature about Catarrh, and give you special medical advice without charge. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. U. S. DISPENSATORY Describes the Principal Ingredients Contained in Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in reality such a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient of hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this catarrh remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaunice (catarrh of the liver), and in oi-cased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, corydalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very large overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. Send to us for a free book of testimonials of what the people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it. HOWARD E.

Mr. Martin says: "I think I have had kidney disease ever since the war. During an engagement my horse fell on me, straining my back and injuring the kidneys. I have been told I had a floating kidney. I had intense pain in the back, headaches and dizzy spells and the action of the bladder was very irregular. About three years ago I tried Doan's Kidney Pills, and found such great relief that I continued, and inside a comparatively short time was entirely rid of kidney trouble."

Old Favorites A Doctor Medicine Who has not heard of the Vale of Cashmere, With its roses the brightest that earth ever gave. Its temples and grottoes and fountains as clear As the lovelighted eyes that hang over their wave? Oh, to see it at sunset, when warm o'er the lake Its splendor at parting a summer eve throws. A last look of her mirror at night ere she goes! When the shrines through the foliage are gleaming half shown. And each hallows the hour by some rites of its own Here the Magian his urn full of perfume is swinging. And here, at the altar, a zone of sweet bells 'Round the waist of some fair Indian dancer is ringing. Or to see it by moonlight—when mellowy shines The light o'er its palaces, gardens and shrines: And the nightingale's hymn from the Isle of Chenars Is broken by laughs and light echoes of feet From the cool shining walks where the young people meet. Or at morn, when the magic of daylight awakes A new wonder each minute as slowly it breaks. Hills, cupolas, fountains, called forth every one Out of darkness, as they were just born of the sun; When the spirit of fragrance is up with the day, And the wind, full of wantonness, wooes like a lover The young aspen trees till they tremble all over; When the east is as warm as the light of first hopes, And day, with its banner of radiance unfurled, Shines in through the mountainous portal that opes, Sublime, from the valley of bliss to the world! —Thomas Moore. A Hymn of the Homeland. The Homeland! The Homeland! The land of the freeborn; There is no night in the Homeland, but aye the fadeless morn. I'm singing for the Homeland, my heart is aching here; My Lord is in the Homeland, with angels bright and fair; There's no sin in the Homeland, and no temptation there. The music of the Homeland is ringing in my ears. And when I think of the Homeland my eyes gush out with tears; For those I love in the Homeland are calling me away. To the rest and peace of the Homeland, and the life beyond decay. For there's no death in the Homeland, there's no sorrow above; Christ brings us all to the Homeland of His eternal love. JUNGLE HUNTING IN PANAMA. Guide with a Big Machete is Usually Necessary. As there are as yet practically no roads in the interior of Panama and trails are nearly always tributary to the nearest river, travel is almost entirely done by canoes, says a writer in Recreation. The native cayuco or piragua of the interior is usually made of native cedar, narrow, flat bottomed and ending in a flat, platform-like bow and stern. This peculiar construction is to enable one to land directly over the bow or stern when, due to the nature of the bank, it is impossible to more than force the bow to solid ground. A trip up the river needs little preparation as compared with a camping trip to a cold climate. A good guide with his big working knife or machete can do wonders. With this he can cut trail, clean the camp site, make a shelter or house, a bedstead, a matress or thatch and a cover for the fire—all fastened together with vine ropes which he cuts near by. He can cut firewood and dress game, slice bacon or potatoes, chop out an impromptu paddle or palanca, "cut rubber," dig roots, get out fair-sized logs and, if necessary, inflict serious wounds with it. As your canoe slips quietly along the bank of some good river, the charm is derived both from the beauty of the scene and from the feeling of expectation regarding new sights and chances at odd sorts of game. You round a bend, your canaletero, or paddleman, stops and, as you slowly bring into view the stretch of vuelta beyond, probably he says, 'Logarto, senor, alli! Alll!' and when your unaccustomed eyes finally follow his direction you see a big 'gator, light-gray on the back from dried mud, and yellow below, lying like a log on the farther mud bank. He sees you, you may be sure of that; in fact, he usually sees everything that moves, and hears and smells as well as sees; he is in no hurry to slide into the water, however, for he sees native canoes every day and they never bother him. Some people have the "blues" worse than others. The kind of blues the young people have seem to be worse than any other kind. --- A Doctor's Medicine Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is not a simple cough syrup. It is a strong medicine, a doctor's medicine.
