The Marking of Cotton Yarns.

WASHINGTON. March l5.-The French
minister has called the attention of the
Secretary of State to the difficulty
French merchants ind in conforming
to the provisions of the Mckinley tariff
act requiring tho marking of imported
merchandise with the name OF the
country of origin, especially in the
case of cotton yarns. He says that the
requirement that skeins and spools
containing cotton yarns should DO
marked with the word France" is
almost impossible, and is equivalent to
virtual prohibition Of the importation
Of such articles. and he asks that such
marking may pc dispensed with. The
question having been referred to tho
Treasury Department, Acting Secretary
Spaulding has replied that he has con
cluded that the objects of the section
of law referred to would be practically
accomplished whenever the primary
wrappers or coverings OF minimum sized
packages containing skeins and spools
OF cotton yarns arc distinctly marked
with the name of the country Of pro.
duction. Customs otIic- rs have been
instructed accordingly.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Council Discusses the Salem
and Craig Matter.

At meeting of the board of trade
Monday night railroad matters were
again discussed. The committee to
wait on the council reported that if the
citizens and incorporators would do their
part the council would meet them half
way.
Messrs. Baer. Boone and Brand were
appointed to act with the com mittee
from the council to confer with the in
copgorators, and the secretary was
authorized to send q written invitation
to every incorporation of the Salem and
Craig railway, asking them to meet the
board of trade next Monday night.
The members present made some
spirited speeches, in which they scored
the incorporators for their apparent
apathy and loss of interest in the
scheme. Messrs. Thomas and Walker
were appointed to ofiiciate at the ballot
box on the night of the first Tuesday in
April, at which time the annual election
ofofficers will take place.

thirty-siX years this coming summer
since the last island disappeared, and
exactly quarter of century since the
last new one popped up its head in the

argue that this is suspicious silence,
an omen of some monstrous catastro-

Bell even goes SO far as to predict that

greater part of Australia will be en-
quilted before the end of the year 1925.

HER WEIGHT IN GOLD.
The Extraordinary Value Mexican Miner
Placed Upon His Bride.

Placed Upon His Bride.
"Therc is an old lady living In
southern California at the patriotic
little mountain settlement known as
American Flag, who is an object
Of much interest to strangers from
the fact that she is probably
the only woman on earth the valuation
of whose person was ever literally
appraised at her weight in gold" said q
New Yorker recently returned from Il
for the Sun. ''She is sixty-cight years
old now and the widow of one Jesus
Castro, Mexican. The Mexican was
one of the first miners who struck a
fortune in. gold in the pioneer days of
California. He lived in the Santa Gaia
lima mountains and returned home
more than loaded down with gold dust.
lie fell passionately in love with his
brothers. daughter, q handsome girl of
seventeen, She returned her uncle's
love and consented TO marry him. The
priest to whom they applied learning of
their close blood relationship refused
to marry them. Castro offered as
high as five thousand dollars to the
church as an induccment for the priest
to perform the marriage ceremony, but
the offer was refused. Then, us the old
widows story goes, Castro asked the
priest what amount of wealth would
induce him to marry them. The priest
with the intention and expectation of
impressing Castro with the hopelcssncss
of his appeal, replied:
The girls weight in Gold!'
Now the Mexican maiden, while not
being ovcrbuxom, was well to do in
figure for one OF her age, but Castro did
not even pause long enough to ascer-
tain what her weight might be. lie
exclaimed:
"'Good, holy father!'
'Then he ordered scales to be
brought, and begging the girl to
stand on one side of them he poured
glittering gold dust into the other side
until the precious stuff balanced the
weight of his inanorata. The priest
was dumb with amaZement, and it was
n long time before he recovered sufii-
cicntly to say the promised words that
made the twain one. Castro had won
his bride at the cost of one hundred and
twenty-five pounds of his honrded gold.
He had snug lot left, however, and
the story is that he lived long enough
to sec the time That he would have
taken good deal less than her weight
in gold for the wife his youthful ardor
placed so great a value on"

TOY DOGS OUT OF FASHION.

Three Queer Stories About Thorn tho
Truth of Which Is vouched For.
Toy dogs have gone out of fashion,
fortunately for the reputation for sense
OF IL great many women who were
tempted to do very foolish things while
the craze lasted. Stories of these little
autocrats are still floating about. Here
are three whose truth is solemnly
vouched for by the New York Times:
At luncheon at which were present
three women of one family-a mother
and two daughters-it was noticed that
every one of the three declined the lit
tic articles of dessert, jellics, cakes and
the like, and the neighbor of one of
them had the curiosity to ask the cause.
co." was the reply, poor little Mar
quis was i'll all night. and, as the dear
little soul may not have any of these
goodies he loves so dearly, we just
haven't the heart to take any our
selves"
Story No. 9 was Of tardy pair at n
formal dinner. When the company of
guests had waited nearly half an hour
and at last the hostess gave up the
missing ones and all were seated at the
table the pair appeared. The cxplana-
tion from the wife was that sit was
quite too bad, but Bijou would not let
MS leave, and we had to wait until the
little fellow was asleep"
The third tale is of dog whose sick
ness aud death created intense excite
ment. The absent husband was pur-
sued all day with kilograms, baby was
sick, baby was worse, baby was dying,
and finally baby was dead Then came
private funeral of more or less cere-
mony, and afterward baby's mistress
appeared in conventional mourning.
1t is certainly time that toy dogs
went out of fashion.

The American people want to hear

will have to cease its communistic
talk. 1t is hurting itself as well
as the Democratic party, The

work for a living, and a party paper
that advocates communism, claiming
that it is doing it in the interest Of
