A newspaper is a wonderful in
strumentality in a community. 1t
talks to all tie people. You can
read it, and when 1t is read once
nou can send 1t away to a friend
and he can read it and then lay it
away for a year and it will never
lose interest. In no way can you
bring an important matter before
a community better than through a
local paper. No enterprise in the
community is more worthy of a
liberal support.
Order your dry goods from San
Francisco.
Go to some other place to get
your printing done.
Contribute what information
you have to any but your home
paper.
Buy OF peddlers as often and
as much as possible.
Obtai;i the service of some miu-
ister who lives in a bigger town
and has a bigger salary, and let
the home preacher live on saw
dust and pine needles. It's fash.
ionsble you know.
Glory in the downfall of some
man who has done much TO bnild
up the place.
Keep every cent you can get
and don't do anything Of a public
nature unless you can get some.
thing out Of it directly.
1t a stranger comes to town tell
him everything is overdone and
predict general crash of the town
in the near future.
Patronize outside newspapers
to the exclusion of your own, and
then denonnce them for not being
large as the San Francisco pa
pers.
1t you are merchant don't ad-
vertise in the home papers but buy
rubber stamp and use that-It
may save few dimes and make
the paper look like it was publish
ed by amateurs in one horse
town.
Ii you are a farmer, curse the
town where you trade as the
meanest place on earth-talk
tins to your neighbors-make
them believe the business men
are all robbers and thieves-it will
make your property more valuable.

One OF tho propositions or
suggestions to place the school
lands of tho territory in the way Of
bringing revenues to the school
tuuds, ia to cut them into farms of
fair size, to lease them to renters,
and follow this permanently.
Aside from the fact that not a
great proportion of these lands
wonld be much of success as
farming lands, the system pro-
posed could be improved upon.
For the rule is, that under the
charge Of renters, LITTLE attention is
paid to the land or the improve
ments, as all is sacrificed to get
ting the most money out of the
land. With much Of these lands
the inducements held forth is the
timber, but, if the renter cannot
despoil the land of it's timber, then
he mas no use for much of it..
Though the idea might be salts
factory in many cases, it could
not be generally. There is differ,
enco ON the question, and one says:
"Under the lease system they
could be source Of immense reve-
nue. to the school fund, and in the
process of time their value would
be almost incal:u'able." The Ore
gonian thinks this is rosy view
to take, and says: Otis estimated
that there are 100000 acres of
school land in Washington, Ore
gon had 100000. There is no
question but that Oregon has par
sned a bad policy and that the
school fund should have been two
or three times what it now can be-
Washington will do well to avoid
the mistakes of Oregon and try
not to blunder worse than we have"

SYNOPSIS OF THE GREAT WAR SYNDICATE

War between the United States and Eng
land exists at the close of this century. A
Syndicate contract with this Government
to establish peace within a year. They
equip a number of ships with steel armor.
and construct several submarine vessels
called "crabS.' Bombs of wonderful de-
structiye power are fired from the steel
ships, which blow to atoms two Canadian
forts and a monster irOn-clad man-Of-war.
The crabs, by means of powerful mechan-
ical jaws, disable number of English
war-ships by tearing off their rudders and
propcllers. One of the largest stcel-ar-
mOred "repellers," accompanied by fleet
Of crabs, proceeds to the British Isles,
where several more men-of-war are dis
abled and a dynamite gunbOat captured.
The entire British fleet then prepare to as
sault the repeller, but bombs exploded in
the sea cause such disturbance in the
water that a near approach is impossible.
The British fleet then retire from the con-
fiict. A letter is sent to the English Gov
ernment by the Syndicate with the request
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-03-21

that they name some fortified place which
the Syndicate will destroy in order to
demonstrate the power of their bombs.
After deliberating several days, the Gov
ernment select Caerdatf, on the Welsh
coast, as the place to be destroyed. On the
appointed day the repeller begins the bonn
bardment from point nine miles away,
and such is the destructive power of the
bombs that the high promontory of Caer-
daft is completely effaced and the coast
line so changed that a new bay is created.
This, OF course, convinces the English that
it is useless to longer fight against the Syn
dictate, and a treaty of peace is soon nego-
tiated. Then the American and English
Governments secure control of the inven-
tions Of the Great War Syndicate, and an
alliance for the domination of the world is
speedily formed between the two nations,
to the vast and almost immedia te improve
ment of all mankind. During the whole
Of the war but one man is killed, and his
death is caused by the fall of a derrick. A
monument is raised to his memory.

Again the forceps opened wide: again
there was q rush. and this time the huge
jaws closed upon tho rapidly revolving
screw propeller. There was tremen-
douscrash, and the small but massive
crab turned over SO far that for All ii'-
slant Cne of its sides was plainly visible
above the water. iea
psller were crushed and shivered; those
parts Of the steamers engines connect
Ing with the propeller shaft were snapped
and rent apart, while the propeller shaft
itself was broken by tho ~tiolent stop
page.
The crab. which had quickly righted,
now backed, still holding the crushed
propeller in its iron grasp, and as it
moved away from the Scarabeus, it ex-
tracted about forty feet of its propeller
shaft; then. opening its massive jaws,
it allowed the useless mass of iron to
drop to the bottom of the sea.
Every man on board the ScarabHus
was wild with amazement and excite
ment. Few could comprehend what
had happened, but this very quickly be-
Came evident. So far as motive power
was concerned. the Scarab;eus was to-
tally disabled. She could not direct her
course, for her rudder was gone; her
propeller was gone; her engines were
useless, and she could do no more than
float as wind or tide might move her.
Moreover, there was jagged hole in her
stern where the shaft had been, and
through this the water was pouring into
the vessel. AS a man-of-war the Scara-
bseus WAS worthless.
Orders now came fast from Repe;ler
No. l, which had moved nearer to the
scene of conflict. It was to be supposed
that the disabled ship was properly fur
nished with bulkheads, so that the water
would penetrate no farther than the
stern compartment, and that, therefore,
she was in no danger of sinking. Crab
A was ordered to make fast to the bow
of tGc Scarabarus. and tow her toward
two men-of-war who were rapidly ap-
preaching from the harbor.
