Mount Rainier, which rises to q height
of 14,444 feet from the shores of Puget
sound, is the most beautiful of the noun
tains of the United States as 1t is the
most difficult to ascend. A party of nine
men, including Mr.. John Muir, the well
known student of the Cordilleran glaciers,
gained the summit and were fortunate
in obtaining n large number of photo
graphs of the mountain and Of various
aspects of vegetation encountered during
the journey. One of the party writes:
''This particular meadow on which we
encamped lies between glaciers of the
Nisqually and Cowlitz rivers, on the
south side of the mountain. 1t covers
probably four square miles and ranges
in altitude from 5000 to 1000 feet. The
meadow on the east side of the noun
tain, between the Cowlitz and Natchess
glaciers, is about the same size and diff
fers but little in vegetation. The other
meadows on the main mountain are much
smaller and, with one exception, difficult
of access. The meadows on the submits
of the surrounding lower mountains are
quite extensive, however. The timber
on the meadows is confined mainly to
the crests of the ridges running up the
mountain. "-Garden and Forest.

The Western Ru.tIer.

In the Dakotan vocabulary there are
two words, ''rustler" and boom" which
occur with marked frequency in every
conversation. The rustler is the direct
product of blizzard. He moves with a
quick, restless force. He does not rest
for sleep or food. He knows no weari-
ness of the flesh. He has no doubts or
fears. He believes and he is an inspirer
Of faith. He will build a hotel of 300
rooms or a street motor railway on the
blank prairie and wait for a town to
grow up around it. The town always
comes if he be n genuine rustler.
You can't tell him by his looks nor the
cut of his clothes. His grammar is often
added and he makes a bib of his napkin
at the table. But when he turns himself
loose upon a project with money in it
the project projects. 1t looms. Ityawns.
He keeps it ever in the way of your eyes
and before you know it you begin to see
rainbows around it.
he cares nothing for money after it is
made. Ask and 1t is given you. Tell
him q tale of woe and out comes his
purse. He would molder in a week be-
hind n desk or in a counting room. He
is always on the lope. Today he is getting
options on corner lots In Pierre. To-
morrow he is building mills at Yankton.
Then he is off to st. Paul bulldozing Jim"
Hill for more railroads, or off t New
York placing the stock of q new loan
and trust company. He is interested in
everything. He lets no enterprise es-
cape him. They'll all pay, he says, or
all "bust." There is no middle line out
here.-Cor. New York Tribune.

1 came across a trio of reminiscent
managers the other night just in time to
hear the following, which the narrator,
Ben Stern, of the Carleton company, says
he has never seen in print:
candy Mckaye was managing The
Seven Ravens when they got stranded
in Chicago. He didn't lose his appetite
over the event, however, and he sat in a
restaurant eating one night when VAIN
rata, the rope walker, who was one of
the company, came in in great distress
and asked McKaye how on earth he was
to get back to New York. 1t was the
first time he was ever stuck in this way
and he couldn't stay in Chicago and
starve.
well, there's nothing to keep you
from going back to New York said Nc
Kaye; the company's broken up and the
way is OPEN
"'But, great heavens, 1 haven't n cent?
"'Now, look here said McKaye;
aren't you the greatest wire walker in
American
"'Of course Wainratta said.
""Well, there are wires all the way
from here to New York. I'd advise you,
by the way, to travel at night; the tele-
graph company charges only half rates
then. "-Philadelphia Press.

BETTER ELECTION la VS..

The CHEYENNE LEADER calls for bet
ter election laws. Would it not be n bet
ter idea TO have the laws we now possess
more honestly administered There is an
alarming want of morality about the bal
lot box. Men who are otherwise honest
do not hesitate to steal, rob, lie and per-
iure themselves when it comes to election
and election returns. The first improve.
ment in election laws (which the Ne1os
would suggest would be not only the disin-
franchisement of any man violating them,
but lie imprisonment for the guilty par
ties. Such a statute if applied to Dem
yer during the last city election, would
have necessitated the doubling Of the ca
pacity Of the state penitentiary. - enUer
NetnS.
1t goes without the saying hat were
even an ideal election law passed and then
allowed to remain a dead letter, no prac-
teal boncf. could result from its passage.
1t is one OF the most difficult things in
government TO so hedge in the ballot box
that its purity may be maintained. No
machinery has yet been devised to make
elections absolutely pure, but surely prac-
teal methods which have granted a great
measure Of relief elsewhere might be put
in force here with good results.
While every practical man appreciates
the obstacles which are encountered in an
attempted enforcement of the election
laws, there can be no doubt Of the alb
stract wisdom of placing good election
laws on the statute books. American
citizenship is a distinction of itself and
should be SO regarded everywhere. In
this territory, as well as several states, it
is So easily obtainable that it is not appre-
ciated. As it now stands any foreign born
man or woman after a six months resi-
dence in the territory by simply declaring
mis- or her intentions TO become n citizen
can vote at any general election. Neither
may understand a word of our language;
they may have no sympathy with and
certainly no understanding Of the genius
of our institutions and yet their vote has
precisely the same weight and significance
as that cast by a man or woman to the
manner born. The natural result OF it is
that American citizenship is lightly re-
garded and the electoral privilege prosti-
tuted by wholesale and bareiaced bribery.
Let us first have good, stringent cleo
ton laws backed by severe penalties for
their infraction and public opinion is now
ripe enough to insist upon their enforce
ment. q
Merit, not money, should win at cleo
tons.

One of the many interesting legends
which are connected with the different
parts of Mt. Desert Island is the story of
the battle of Norwood's Cove. In the war
of 1919, two British frigates, the Dolphin
and the Tenedos, chased an American
schooner into Southwest Harbor. Not
being acquainted with the waters, the
frigates dared not follow, but anchored
just outside of Greening's Island, while
the schooner sought refuge in Norwood's
Cove, behind the forest crowned ridge.
The British dispatched two barges with
nearly one hundred men to capture the
schooner, compelling an American sea-
man TO act as pilot. Meantime q large
band of fishermen and farmers had Sc
GREETED themselves in the woods on the
southern shore. When the barges had
approached within musket shot, the pilot
sprang to his feet, shouting, "Give 1t to
'em, boys; don't mind mel' upon which
the Americans opened n murderous fire,
which soon compelled the British to re-
treat with the loss of almost the entire
crew of one of the barges.-Lewiston
Journal.

than has ever before been known in its
history.
As far az can be learned there will be
exhibits from nearly every county in the
territory. The association offers every IA
ciliry for the transportation Of goods.
The attendance will be larger than ever
before and such centers as Lander, But

should not fail to be represented.
Altogether too little is known in the
outside world concerning the really great
resources of the territory which are far
away from the main line of the Union
Pacific. That they possess coal, iron,
oil, salt and soda, that they raise agricul-
tural products equal in extent and variety
to any other section in the same latitude.
that they manufacture their own-flour. are
facts that are simply stated to be forgot

undoubtedly be made to repay a hundred
fold the trouble and expense of sending
an exhibit here which will be worthy of
the section from which it is sent
Little time now remains and prompt
action is necessary. No county in the
territory should fail to put its best foot

that many kinds of provisions, which
are with us either sealed or sailed, are
there kept by simple freezing. The APP
pearance of the markets at that eason
is described by Mr.. Lansdell:
Frozen chicken, cartridges and other
game are often thrown together in heaps,
like bricks or firewood. Butchers meat
deties the knife, and some of the sales
men place their animals in fantastic
positions before freezing them.
Frozen fish are piled in stacks, and
milk is offered for sale in cakes or bricks.
