them to begin fighting the liquor
power in some way. The more they
fight it the more strongly they will
realize its power for evil and the in
efficiency of halfway measures to
cope with that power.
For this reason we are glad to en-.
courage any kind of opposition to
the saloon. believing that even if it
accomplishes nothing directly it will
be means of educating the people.
The pugilist who practices his fist
on bag of sand does not hurt the
nails any. but he hardens his knuGk-
les. So the temperance reformer who
practices on halfway measures will
not hurt the liquor traffic much. but
he will succeed in fitting himself for
a more serious conflict. For that
reasnn we are always ready to sup.
port halfway measures. though we
have little faith in their direct re-
snites The only thing we cannot
support is measure wfiie.. violates
sound principles, as high license
does. There is no halfway about
that, unless it is halfway to the
devil.
If we had to choose between a $500
license fee in this city and the abso-
lutelv free and unrestricted sale OF
liquor we would consider free rum
the lesser evil of the two, because it
would in time work its own cure by
creating a hostile sentiment strong
enough to abolish the business. The
high license fee, on the other hand,
s0otheS the conscience of voters with
the comforting idea that they are do
ing something to curtail the evil
while it also sOothes the feeling of
indignation by the reflection that if
the tratfi is doing mischief it is, at
least, making some amends by les
sening their taxes.
We do not expect, we never did
expect, that everybody will agree
with US. 1t would not be possible
for the wisest of men to construct a
platform to which everybody would
assent, unless it was 50 vague as to
amount to nothing. But we do want
to impress upon all the readers of the
Witness that it is their individual
business and duty to do something
in the way of resisting the deyil, not
only in his warfare against their own
spiritual progress, but also in his ef-
forts to destroy others and. in par
tlcular, that it is the duty of each one
to do something to free this land from
the curse of intemperance.
What are you going to do about it ?

The Fence Crawled Away.

"The Traps is the name of alocality
on the top of the Shawagnuck mount
aims, about midway between New Platz
and Tuttletown. 1t is nearly all rock
and covered. as the settlers; who live
near there say. with underbrush,
huckleberries and snakes" The
mountain seems to be split at this
point and into the split hunters set
traps for game. This. says the Kings
ton Freenian, is why it is called. 1.-The
Traps" This forenoon resident Of
that delectable neighborhood told the
following snake story. which he said
he had every reason to beliyeve was
true: "About ten ago a man named
Daniel Hasbrock. called by his neigh
bors Mountain Dan Hasbrouck,' owned
farm which took in q part Of the
mountain where 'sThe Traps" are.
One forenoon he started out to build
Aiece of rail fence. He had cut the
halls about two weeks before, and had
them near ut hand. The night before
was cold one and early in the mcrn-
ing the frost covered everything.
Dan" worked hard and fast. About
IL o'clock he went home for tinner.
The forenoon had been cloudy and dis
agreeable The wind blew cold and
chilly, and Dan" was satisfied to 60
home early. About noon the sun shone
brightly, the wind died away and it
was warm-like. Mountain Dan,"
after having finished his noon meal re-
turned 10 his work. When he reached
the spot he found that his fence had
disappeared. Not one rail was left.
The disappearance of the fence. which
had been carefully made by him, was
beyond his comprehension. Going to
the spot where he had commenced his
work he was startled by the movement
Of a big black snake.
There" said Dan as he told the
story, I'm be busted. by gosh, il l
hain't laid that there fence up with.
black snakes"
Sure enough. the snakes had been
frozen stiff during the night and
"Dan." thinking they were rails. had
laid them up just rs he would wonien
rails. While he had gone to dinner
the sun had warmed them up hit and
they crawled away. ..Dan" said that
he measured the snake he killed and it
was eight feet in length. He had an
AK with him. and it was as long rs
four lengths of the handle. reckon
the whole lot of blackies must have
been from six to ten feet long and from
about three to four inches through.

Making Camphor In Japan.

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way: After tree is felled it is cut up
into chips. which are laid in tub or .
large iron pot, partially filled with
water. and placed over q slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly rises, and. heating the
chips, generates oil and camphor. OF
course the tub with the chips has =
closely fitting cover. From this cover
a bamboo pipe leads to,a succession OF
other tubs with bamboo connections.
and the last of these tubs is divided
into two compartments, one above the
other, the dividing floor being per-
forated with small holes to allow the
water and the oil to pass to the lower
compartment. The upper cQmpart-
ment is supplied with straw layer.
which catches and holds the camphor
in crystal in deposit rs it passes to thS
cooling process. The camp,.or is then
separated from the straw aud packed

western Lakes Drying Up.

The lakes sin eastern Oregon. ~
well Is in Nevada are drying up. Ia
some instancessthe wster in the lakes
is subsidtng because the streams which
empty into them have been diverted
from their natural channels for pIr-
poses Ut irrigation. but the continuous
drought, doubtless had much to do
with the low stage of water. in them.
The Asra4d. puOlisned IN the new
county Of Harvey. Oregon. says not
over four square miles Of the original
bed Of Warner lake is now covered
with wafer. whereas in 1865 there
was seven feet Of water where the
land is now dry. and last spring
stack containing 400 tons Of hay was
burned ON land which in 1874 was
surveyed as Warner Lake. Goose
Lake, which once reached Lakeview,
Oregon. is now five miles away, and
Malheur lake. in Harvey county, is
eight feet lower than at any period
within the memory Of the oldest in
habitant. IN this county Humboldt
lake, which some years ago comprised
a sheet Of waaer sixteen or eighteen
miles long aud from eight to twelve
miles wide,ls now only q few miles
long and perhaps mile or two wide.
The Humboldt has not discharged any
water, iuto the lake for. several years.
aud large ares which was covered
several feet with water ut one time is
now dry as any other part Of the Hum
boldt valley. 1t is, = fact, however,
that the lake was ~ low nine or ten
years ago rs il is to-day. and that five
years. ago it was - high IS it WAS ever
known to be. Immigrants IN early
days who saw the Humboldt discharge
an immense volume of water, into the
lake. or sink. as It was called. believed
1t had = subterraneal outlet; but that
idea was erroneous, as the volume, of
water was reduced by evaporation, not
drainage. = HiismeDsacc SitVer STATE.
