issued the following appeal:
FARMERS OF THE WEST: A cry of
hunger and starvation comes up from the
here of the great tmetropolis-NewY York.
1t comes from the throat of tens of thou
sands of American citizens, who are
without bread. 1t ascends to Heaven

Stock Exchange and the jingliug of the

1t is intensifi d by the tears and moans
OF starving mothers and furnishing chill.

stalks abroad, unheeded by those who

BY the pangs of hunger lawabidiug,
honest men are being transformed into
reckless wolves, and this is the ,ndition
d' sired by the enemies of the people.
TGey starve them first in order to furnish
an excuse to kill them afterward. Thi.

MAGAZINE NOTES.

The Century Co. has bought we'll nigh
the complete literary" output" Of Mark
Twain during hisyear of residence abroad
and both The Century and st. Nicholas
will have serial stories by this popular
humorist among the attractions of the
new year. For The Century lie has
written novel which is said to abound
with humorous and dramatic incident,
and in some chapters to be revelation
of tragic power. Its plot includes most
ingenious employment of science in the
detection OF crime. 1t is called "Pudd'n
head Wilson," and like "Huckleberry
Finn" and tom Sawyer" is a story of a
Mississippi steamboat town.
For the boy and girl readers of st.
Nicholas he has written "Tom Sawyer
Abroad" being the adventures of Tom
Sawyer, accompanied by Huckleberry
Finn and the negro "Jim," in the East
ern Hemisphere,-which is not reached
the ordinary way, but accidentally, as it
were, and in fying-machine.
Scribners Magazine for October has a
notable list of contributors, including w.
D. Howells, Robert Louis Stevenson, Joel
Chandler Harris, H. G. Bunner, Harold
Frederic, and Will H. Low. The con-
.ribution of Mr.. Howells is remarkable
one. Under the title, "The Men of
Letters as Man of Business" he dis
cusses with perfect frankness the
whole relation of literature to business,
especially the relations Of the writer with
the editor and the publisher. Another
article of unusul interest, both intrinsi-
cally and by reason Of its literary associa-
lions, is Robert Stevenson's journal of the
voyage made by Sir Walter Scott in 1914
around Scotland in the lighthouse yacht.
There is an Introductory note by Robert
Louis Stevenson, the illustrious grandson
of the author of the diary, which links
third interesting personality to the
narrative.
The illustrated articles Of this number
represent an unusual number Of the best
known American and foreign artists,
including Remington, Frost. Will H:
Low, Francis G. Jones. and group of
famous Frenchmen, Monvel, Delort,
Lynch, Marchetti, Jeanniot, and Cour-
boin. The last named group forms the
subject of an interesting article by F. ..
Doubleday, who has visited the artists in
their studies in Paris, and gives glimpses
of their personalities as well as OF their
work.
The fiction of the number includes
short stories by John Kendrick Bangs
and Duncan Campbell Scott, and another
installment of Harold Frederic's powerful
story of war times, "The Copperhead."
There are PONIES by H. G. Bunner, Edith
M. Thomas, Bliss Carman, and Margaret
G. George.

tons and found that they had tllee large
tanks filed with sand and their chemical
solution. The solution, which catches
and retains the fine particles of gold, is
allowed for certain length of time to
percolate through the sand, when it is
drawn off and allowed to precipitate in
glass jars. When precipitation takes
place the gold is found at the bottom of
the jars in what looks like muddy sedi-
ment. This sediment is then subjected
to smelling process, when the auriferous
metal comes out in all its purity and
high purchasing power. Mr.. Dolan is
sanguine that there is plenty Of gold in
the sand to make the working of it profit
able. In the course of week or two he
will precipitate the solution from the
tanks, when he expects to be able to talk
more convincingly of the success of the
process.

From OcOsta Pioneer:
OCosTA's GOLD MINE.


About two miles from Ocosta, across
the bay on the sand point south of the
harbor entrance, there are hundreds Of
acres OF black sands which are rich in
gold and iron. Tests of the iron made at
Tacoma some months ago revealed the
TACT that the sands contained 35 to 40
per cent. Of a very superior quality Of
iron, even better than the best Swedish
iron. 1t has been known for years that
these sands contained gold, but in parti-
cles so fine that they could not be separ-
ated from the sand by ordinary methods.
But lately process has been discovered
which gives promise of being successful
in capturing the gold. The process is a
chemical one of which nothing is known
except by those now engaged in expert
menting with the sands. Mr.. James
Dolan, an old experienced miner, has
charge of the work, and he is assisted by
a half dozen men. They have erected
quarters on the point and have built
tanks for their experiments. On Sunday
last we visited the scene of their opera
