The adaptability OF the soil and climate
of Chehalis county for the successful Gull
tivation of hops has been demonstrated
for several years, and yet it is strange
fact that put three hop ranches are to be
found in the county. Taking one year
with another the hop crop will average as
much to tho farmer as anything he may
cultivate, and yet so far as this industry
is concerned, it may be said to be in it's
infancy here. The Oldest hop yard in the
county is the property Of DR.. French, con-

Joining the town of Elma. The product
Of this yard has been source OF spiendid

What we want, says an exchange, is
a dollar easy to get and hard to let 60 !;
a dollar that will pay 81 worth Of debts
and then come back by means of string

like the mama Of old in safe of rail

some flour while it buys much whisky
and tobacco; dollar that is above draw

while the owner sits in the shade and
splits at q crack in the pavement; dol
lar that will circulate without deprecia-

buys fun for man in places where he

art Of welding copper to iron and steel.
They show several samples Of the metals

gives OF these metals having been welded
was 500 B. G. The value OF the discovery
comes in the fact that copper offers
greater resistance to the action of salt
water than any other metal. The Carne-
gle company has offered the men fixed
price for the secret. A shop has been
fitted up for the men at the Homestead
plant. where tomorrow the men propose

company hopes to be able to cover all
armor plates for the big battleships.

Sweden's "More Money" Experiment.

swedcn's "More Money" Experiment.
The theory that decree Of the gov
eminent can give intrinsic value to
money metals has been exploded in the
past more than once. A signal illustra-
ton is afforded in the history Of Sweden
under the reign Of Charles XII, known as
the "mad king" Baron Gortz was the
leading spirit, or rather the power be-
hind the throne and minister Of finance.
War had impoverished Sweden, and the
baron devised the brilliant scheme Of
making more money by attempting to
give copper the same value as silver, so
that piece Of copper money whose
intrinsic value was only one-half penny
should, when stamped with the kings
mark, pass for 40 pence. Some of this
coin was stamped with the figures Of
heather gods, and later ON the people in
derision called the pieces the "gods Of
Baron GortZ"
At first this money was issued with
discretion and reserve, but, as might
have been foreseen, it was hard to draw
the line and fix the quantity, and it soon
got beyond the barons control All
kinds of goods and provisions rose to in
ordinate prices, and the baron was fore
ed to increase the value of his money to
meet the demand and volume Of trade,
but the more it was increased the less
was its value and purchasing power,
and the people finally rose in their in
dignation and destroyed the financial
plan Of this early Napoleon of finance.
Charles and others lost their heads, as
good many seem to be doing now on
the money question. L. Mathews in

Presley Collect lives about mile above
Artic. His little son was returning home
from the Art:c school, and went via the
postoffice, which fact probably saved his
life, as he was joined there by a gritty
dog that belonged to Roden Wade. AS
the little fellow was trudging along, a
large cougar came up behind him and
commenced nibbling at his pants. The
boy jumped nearly out Of his pants, and
.if he never before in his life had exerted
himself to the utmost he did so then, in
making tracks for home, and ON the way
there he met Will Valentine, aged II. In
the meantime the dog, which was far
from being a large one, pitched into the
wild animal and made noble struggle,
but did not last long with the powerful
adversary. Valentine ran for gun and
fastened to the place indicated by the
boy and found the cougar tearing and
eating the dog - something unusual
especially at this time of the year. VAL
entine killed the cougar, which measured
little over six feet from tip to tip.

papers had the interesting information
that John Richardson had been appointed
to hand out letters to the appreciative
public of our city. The present
postmaster has had over five
years of service, and has no objec-

fact his resignation would have been for
warded to President Cleveland in very
short time, Of course all Of this will be
saved and the change will soon be made.
While no man cares to be dismissed from
his position before the expiration Of his
term, We can truthfully say that the adj
ministration has made splendid choice.
Mr.. Richardson is one of our most re-
spected and honorable citizens and will,
no doubt properly fulfill the trying duties

SoME INCIDENTS CONCERNING WELL KNOWN MINISTER or "YE OLDEN TIME" Parson George Colton, the high priest of Bolton, (6a feet tall), was a power in the land in his day. Settled in Bolton af- ter the death of Rev. Thomas White, 1763, and died in 1812, covering period of 49 years. Once he appointed fast on ac- count of the dry weather. The people had but just got seated in the meetingzhouse whenit began to thunder. He pronounced the benediction and told his hearers that they had better "scamper for home.' That ended the drouth for that season.
 The first camp-meeting ever held in Conn.,, or New England, was in Bolton, in June, 1905, known as "Dow's camp-meet- ing." Parson Colton objected, but it was held. He considered it an "encroachment on his field"
 At one time when he exchanged with Rev. Dr. Lockwood of Andover, he paid his respects to man of that place in his prayer as follows: 70 Lord, we pray for the entire community; we pray for those who pray for themselves; we pray for those who seek no interest in prayer; and above all, 0 Lord, we pray for that cavil- Ter, that trifler, that free-thinker, that deist. We will not call any names, o Lord, for Thou well knowest who we mean. He lives on the stage road about half way from Hartford to Norwich"

It merely mca $ that, instead of having the various dishes composing the repast all put upon the table at once. they are placed on a side table and served from there by the servant, who passes each in turn. This affords a chance for some decoration upon the ta- 5le. There is usually some sort of em- broidered centerpiece. The chances are that it was achieved by one of the love- ly daughters or even by the lady of the house herself, and it is always wise to remark upon the elaborateness of the stitch or the beauty of the design if you are a guest ell famille. That not only calls out the history of the oenterpiece and makes conversation, but lays up treasures for you in heaven and estab- fishes your reputation for good taste and appreciation of the truly beautiful

In establishments where money is no object orchids, ala mandas, rare ferns and the newest, cost Hest roses appear and are changed from day to day But daisies and clover can be arranged just as effectively and cost nothing but the trouble of gathering them, while in the winter there are jar dinieres of pierced silver, which can be filled with maidenhair or some other delicate fern, and with little care kept green and thrifty for weeks. The old fashioned coasters used as stands for de- canters are often utilized fin this way, for any tinsmith can make lining for them i'll which plants will grow like a green bay tree. The effect of flowers on the table can hardly be calculated. They have more charms than music to soothe the savage breast, and any sentimental ist of your acquaintance can tell of in- stances where a glass bowl of nastur- tiu1ns tastefully arranged before him has so wrought on the feelings of paterfa- milias that he has said not word about the overdone mutton or the soggy under crust of his apple pie.
