A change will come about when
every customer asks what sugar he is
getting and insists on getting his
worth and lets the light in on
this secret merchandise.
There is spent for labor alone on the
Pacific coast 100000 annually by
American refneries. They buy WASH
ington coal, Oregon barrel stock, pa
per, etc., and in great many ways
the distribution of this vast sum of
money is of benefit to our communities.
The first question to ask oneself is,
What can do to help my fellow man,
my fellow workman and the country
in which I live? First, by knowing
what sugar you use yourself, and Sec
ondly, by seeing that your are supplied
with no other than the American made
article, made by American workmen,
in American cleanly factories, operated
by American capital, paying American
wages. in good American coin, and
keeping that American money at home,
not sending it abroad to support the
corruption and corrupting influences of
a nation stained with infamy, black
ened by disease, and odorized with the
death of its inhabitants.
We have here in our glorious state
of Washington and sister state of Ore
gon, as evidenced by the Exposition OF
the Manufacturers and Producers As
sociation, one of the greatest fields for
beets in this or any other country. In
rejecting the coolie made stuff called
sugar and buying only American made
goods, you are encouraging and
strengthening the hands of your neigh
Dor farmer, and building UP an indus
cry which you will yourself share and
in time proudly realize the greatness
of the soil upon which we live and
which God has blessed with special
Providence as uncompassed on the face
of the globe.

THE ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH.
Some of the Odd Difficulties of Operating
Line Through Queer Countries.

Some of the Odd Difficulties of Operating
q Line Through Queer Countries.
A good deal of romance hovers around
the means by which the worlds news is
gathered. The speed and accuracy with
which telegraph messages are trans
mitted between the uttermost parts of
the earth is marvellous when the condi-
tions under which they are sometimes
transmitted are considered.
The Indo-European telegraph line
offers good illustration. 1t runs from
London to Lowestoft on the east coast
of England. It then dips under the sea
to Emden, on the German coast, whence
it passes through Germany to the Rus
sian fra1tier. From this point the wire
passes by way of Warsaw, Rowno, Odes-
sa, the Caucasus. and Tif1is to Persia, and
by Tauris to Teheran, the capital Of the
shah's queer domain. There it joins
the Indian government line which runs
from the Persian capital to Bushire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
through Baluchistan, and complete the
route by connecting at Karachi, in
northern India. The operation Of this
immense stretch of line, passing through
countries of such varying climates and
general characteristics, is obviously one
of much difficulty. On the snow
swept steppes of Russia the wires are
sometimes snapped like thread by the
rapid flight of flocks of wild geese. The
poles are cut down and made into fire.
wood by the nomad tribes of the eau
casian districts, and the cunning inn
keepers of Georgia seek to boom their
post horse trade by deliberately creating
faults in the wires. In certain parts of
the mountainous regions of Asia the
maintenance of the solitary line involves
no little personal risk and hardship to
the staff hands. Communication is
often cut of by avalanches in the noun
tain districts. and the work of repairing
after snowfall of five or six feet is
no light matter.
These mountain stations are provi-
stoned with several months supplies be-
fore the winter sets in, as the staff will
be in touch with the rest Of the world
by the wire only until the spring
weather opens out the passes. In these
supplies are always included liberal
allowance of books and games where

tedious winter exile.-New York Sun.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMER.
It Is Claimed That While Long It Is Not
OppressiYe.


Wrong impressions are hard to eradi-
cate from the human mind. In the
north and west it is popular delusion
that southern summers are extremely
hot and oppressive, and that life here
during the summer months is almost
unbearable. This impression is formed
upon no knowledge of the matter, but
simply upon the assumption that, as
we are nearer the equator, it must
necessarily be much warmer than in
more northern 1atitudes. An investiga-
tion Of the records of the government
weather bureau will show that there is
no ground for such an assumption.
Our summers are long, but they are
not unpleasant The heat in the north
and west is much more oppressive dur
ing June, July and August than in the
south. Deaths from sunstroke are much
more numerous there, and the heat is
decidedly more sultry. Our long even
ings are delightful, and sultry night
work in the fields all day long, and
suffer less from the warmth than those
of the north.
In nutshell, our summers compare
favorably with those of any section of
the country, and our long, pleasant,
warm season is decided advantage
Our farmers can commence to work the
land long before their northern and
western brothers think Of beginning,
and can continue to utilize it months
after they have stopped. In the towns
and cities the residents are exempted
from heavy expenditures for warm win
ter clothing, and for the larger portion
of the year the only fuel burned is for
cooking purposes.
In comparison with the north and
west, it is doubtful if our long, pleas
ant summer is not as far superior to
their short, blistering one as our short,
mild winters are to their long, frigid
.ues.-Montgomery (Ala } Advertiser.

SHE WAS JEALOUS
Hiss King Smith Fired to Brighten Her
Liver

Lover
Eva King, who is sometimes called Car
RE Smith, had a preliminary examina-
ton before Justice Morrison yesterday
morning. Eva got jealous one day not so
very long ago, and she fired two or three
shots at George Green, the man she loved.
Now she is charged with assault to MUIR
der.
1t seems that she heard that Green was
in company with a vivacious woman
named Georgette. That was not at all to
Miss King Smiths taste, SO she put q
pistol in the bosom of her dress and went
to find her recreant Romeo. About 7
O'Clock in the evening she caught him at
the restaurant of Jean | inert on Ala
media street. She sent word that she
wanted to see him. Green said his first
duty was to his supper, and that after he
had finished he would grant her the
privilege of an audience. Then she pro-
sduced the pistol. Three times did she
shoot but not once did she hit Green.
All this was testified to by several wit
nesses, who were also unanimous in say
ing that at the first sight of the revolver
they had run.
Other testimony was to the effect that
Miss Smith King was evidently shooting
in the air, for she was SO close to Green
that she could not have avoided killing
him if she had tried. At the request of
her counsel the case was continued until

THRILLING ADVENTURE
Willie Fredericks' Peril in Northern
Arizona
His Horse Is Killed by Train, and He Is
Found Frozen Almost to
Death

A letter has been received at Pomona
from w. L. Fredericks who, with his
family, removed to Flagstaff. Ariz., sew
eral months ago, describing an accident
that befell his 15-year- old son Willie. The
boy had left home on horseback to ride to
Diablo Canyon, and when returning home
the horse became frightened while crossing
the railroad by an approaching train, and
could not be urged to move from the cen
ter of the track, where he stood stock
still. The rider was compelled to leave him
to his fate. The train struck and killed
the animal. The little fellow was
twelve miles from home, with the snow
three feet deep. He shouldered the sixty
pound-saddle and started to walk home.
as from what the brakeman upon che
passing train had shouted to him he be-
lieved Flagstaff to be only three miles
distant.
That night the boy camped out. The
next morning he resumed his journey,
but becoming fatigued and overcome with
drowsiness, he laid down in the snow,
where Track Walker Tom Walsh found
him later and carried him in his arms
distance of two miles, to hand car,
upon which he conveyed him to Flagstaff
The surgeon found it necessary to am
putate all the toes of one foot and three
toes of the other of the boy because they
were frozen. He is still under the care OF

ferred him tc the District Attorney.
This being the case for the people, Cen

was a terrible arraignment OF Mrs. Dun
ham and her son. demanded that as an
act OF justice the case be dismissed
against his clients and that they be re-
leased from bail. There was no evidence
adduced. he said, that the crime charged
had been committed, nor that the goods
alleged to have been in the custody of
Mrs. Durham were insured. He called
attention to the discrepancies in the tes-
timony of mother and son, stigmatizing
it as rank perjury. There was no earthly
reason why Mrs. Platt should have con-
tided the secret of crime which might
consign her to the penitentiary for ten
years to Mrs. Durham, and it would be
an absurdidty to believe the story.
Justice Young. Assistant District Attor-
ney Williams consenting, dismissed the
case against Mrs. Knox, but intimated
that it would be necessary for the defense
to show its hand before he came to any
conclusion i'll the case of Mrs. Platt. The
husband of Mrs. Knox, was then sworn,
and among the evidence given by him
was the statement that his wife and Mrs.
PIatt, far from being sisters, are not even
related and did not know each other
year ago. The case will be concluded this
morning.

A Supreme Court Decision of Interest to

Banks and Depositors
The Judgment of the Superior Court OF
San Diego in the suit Of Mary K. Hen
derson against A. J. O'Connor, receiver
of the Consolidated National Bank OF San

Court. On the 18th day OF June Mrs. Hen

favor by the Mutual Life Insurance Go. OF
Newark, N. j., on the National State
Bank of Newark. The San Diego bank
refused to accept this draft as a deposit,
but advanced Mrs. Henderson $21.42 on
her check and charged her with that
amount on its books as an overdraft.
Mrs. Henderson told the Bank OF San
Diego people to deposit the amount of
draft, when collected, in the Savings
Bank of San Diego, in the same building.
On the same day she countermanded this
order, and told them to hold the money
until she returned from an oceanside

weeks, and that then she would give
