The Mighty East.


Speaking of farming in the East"
said an eastern man to our regular TRANS
CRIPT reporter, you have no idea Of
what it is. The stones are so thick that
farmer has to buy one farm to cultivate
and another one to pile the stones on.
Trees grow on these farms to the height
of forty feet without limb and peeled of
bark, caused bv the tree struggling up
through the stones. Yes, there are some
farms that are not so stony, but they are
as sandy as the Sahara. Sometimes after
a calm spell the wind blows and piles the
sand like snow on western plain. Dur
ing these Gains the wood-chucks dig nice
holes in the sandy ground and when the
wind comes 1t blows the sand ali away
and leaves the holes sticking up three or
four feet. The people gather these and
use them for stove-pipes."
Hills, did you say, well l should smile
You have probably noticed that Eastern
people as rule have short legs and long
necks. Well, their feet wear off walking
on the stones aud their necks grow long
by constant twisting and craning to see
the sun above the hills. Fact is, the sun
don't shine but five minutes day there
and that is just at noon when the sun gets
above the east hills and before it strikes
behind the west. The hills are so steep
that the COWS have two legs short and
two long, like kangaroo, so they can
keep from falling. They leave the barn
yard in the morning and Of course they
can't turn around only by going round
the hills, so they back up at nights to the
barn and are headed all right for the next
morning."
The roads are so winding that 1t makes
the people cross.eyed seeing which way
to get home from town. The rivers there
are short because the water wears out
rolling over the stones in the bottom"
"Cyclones originate there! You see
the wind tries to blow straight ahead and
it gets so mixed up winding around the
hills and trying to keep the main travelled
roads, that it gets all worn on: and tired
moving over the stones. so it comes out
West ona tear"
Going young man, We'll cali again; so
long" u. r. ALTAR

to see Christ's church on earth grow aud
prosper. He was one of the nine con
stituent members of this church who or.
ganized it Ia January, 1853, lin old head
quarters) and just thirty years ago was
chosen its first deacon. Through all
these years his interest IN our church well
fare and growth never abated, and his
regular presence in his accustomed place
in this sanctuary was ever an encourage
ment and an inspiration. His voice was
often heard among us, in earnest exhorta-
ton or in relating some of his rich ex-
periences with the Lord, or in simple,
earnest petition for fuller blessing His
home was ever sanctuary. The fire
kindled on the family altar nearly three
score years ago never grew dim. His
door was always open to Chrlsts SER
wants and thither often Gods people re-
sorted for prayer and worship. His anx-
lety for the salvation of others was great;
his personal appeals to his unconverted
neighbors and acquaintance were fire.
quent and earnest. For the Sunday
school work, for missions at home and
abroad. for every agency used by the
church to advance Chrisl's kingdom, he
always had willing hand and loving
heart. Although God did not lay upon
him the responsibility of rearing children
of his own, he took upon himself again
and again the training of the young,
some of them orphans, whom he adopted
into his, family circle and whose subse-
quent lives have proved the earnestness
and success of his efforts to bring all
| within his influence to a personal knowl-
edge of the Savior. These thus brought
up were Saraette Rose afterwards Mrs.
De'Nlo), her brother William Rose; Celia
j. Rawson (now Mrs. A. o. Hollister);
Forest A. De'Nio (now Rev. F. A. Marsh);
Josephine Burger (now Mrs. Snyder
Besides these who were reared in his
home there were several others who tor
years received these same peculiar ad-
! vantages.
His love for Gods word was remark
| able. Every word of it was implicitly
believed by him and it was his constant
delight and study. His life was con-
splcuous proof that he walked with Jesus
and learned of Him.
| As a husband he was considerate and
affectionate. as a neighbor he was just
and kind, as a counsellor he was wise and
safe to follow, as friend he was true and
unselfsh. AS a Christian soldier he was
fearless and persistent, as brother in
Christ he was helpful and trusty. He
was without malice, always peace
maker kind and forgiving. 1t is left to
our pastor to speak words of consolation
to these bereaved ones to-day. 1t is
mine, only to bring this imperfect tribute
of appreciation of his earnest life.
| How it saddens our hearts to think that
the places that knew him so long, shall
! know him no more. He was veritable
father in Israel. Upon us who are younger
| still remain greater responsibilities be-
cause of his departure. May the tender
grace of God rest in the hearts of these
bereaved ones 60

The reporter is not supposed to know
much about business, but it seems
to him that the old companies show a
good deal OF sound business sense, and
manifest large faculty for doing busi-
ness, if these statements are all correct.
Why does not the new enterprise tear
page out of its rivals book, furnish the
funds for the builders, and thus obtain
their trade? That would seem to be a
very simple method Of getting at the
matter, and of cutting the Gordian knot

THE LUMBER BUSINESS.
How it IS Practically Controlled
BY "a Syndicatc-


1t has already been noted in these col
umns that an agency has been establish
ed here for the purpose of shipping in
lumber from Eastern Texas. During the
course of conversation yesterday after
noon with the gentleman in charge OF
that establishment, HERALD reporter
asked how it was--if the material could
be furnished so much cheaper, that there
was not fierce demand for it?
81 will tell you why" said the agent :
"because the builders here are controlled
by the syndicate Of lumbermen that fur
nishes the city in great part with its
building supplies. The way the business
is done is as follows; If you go to a
contractor and direct him to build a
house for you, you will OF course
expect him to furnish bonds for the
faithful fulfillment of his undertaking.
Now, most Of these contractors are not
in a position to supply, presumably, this
security but tho lumbermen do this Tor
them and then supply the material, thus
placing the contractor perfectly under
obligations to them. This ring exists
not only in this city, but throughout
California, and even the transportation
companies aid the com bination. sold
