1t is always good news to hear Of mil
lionaire spending his money. 1t matters
little whether it goes for fun or plilan-
trophy SO long as it is spent.
A leading thinker on economics was
once asked what the rich men Of the
country could best do to help the country
with their money and the reply was
"Spend it," Sometimes these neil OF
wealth are envied when they give big en-
tertainments or indulge in frolics that
partake Of folly because Of the immense
sums expended, but such things should
not occasion envy. The money thus
spent, although spent foolishly SO far as
the spender is concerned, will do far more
good in general circulation than it will
lying idle in some bank or safety deposit.
The supreme cause OF the present strin.
gency is the withdrawal OF large amounts
of money from circulation by men who
have the power to do so. Andrew Car.
negie says capital is exceedingly timid
and will hunt hiding place at the least
sign Of danger. Men Of means say they
are afraid they will never get their money
back if they invest it now with the coun-
try in its present uneasy condition.
A pertinent thought at this juncture is
that vast amount Of capital will be
needed to move the immense corn crop Of
this season. Corn is good security and
thus millions OF dollars will I've coaxed
from their hiding places and thrown into
circulation.
Who knows but what this immense
crop will be the means Of thus leading
the country out Of the financial depression
which has caused so much anxiety and
suffering for the past three years. .-Tacoma

The new combine OF Pacific coast lum
bermen says the movement is to fight the
British Columbia mills in their efforts to
capture the coast trade, and also to reach
out after the foreign trade; they also
propose to increase wages to those Of the
boom period. In reaching out for the
foreign trade they must compete with
British Columbia, as we'll as all other
nations. If they can do so in foreign
countries, why should the home con.
sumner pay a premium? As to raising
wages, who ever heard Of a combine do.
ing SO? Concerted action may widen
the market, and in that way prove a
blessing.

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
Il Was Built by Oliver Evans, Who CouldAr
Lay Up Money.

rt Was Built by Oliver Evans, Who COuldAt
Lay Up Money.
The real inventor of tho locomotive
never realized cent from his invention.
His name was Oliver Evans. He was
born in Delaware in 1866 and spent all
his life perfecting inventions which
were destined to bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in
ventor Of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage in this form
Of transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea.
His application Of the notion to both
land and water power was somewhat
novel.
In 1904 the municipality Of Philadel-
phia called for bids for the dredging OF
tho river and the cleaning Of the docks.
Evans put in bid lower than any OF
bis competitors, and when 1t was ac-
copied determined to build steamboat
to do the work.
He fitted out scow with steam en-
CINE, building both the engine and the
scow in his own workshop
When the boat was ready to be launch
cd, Evans determined to give the peo-
pie Of Philadelphia an object lesson in
mechanics, so he put the boat on wheels,
fitted up push wheel behind, set his
engine to work and propelled the boat
through the streets to the river in the
midst of an open mouthed throng, not a
few Of whom had dim idea that he
ought to be arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank OF
the river, the wheels and axles were tax
en- off, the craft was launched, fitted
ont with other wheels and made to do
the work Of dredging the harbor.
So far as tho invention of mechanical
devices went, Evans had splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents came
up for consideration he was a mere
child, and even allowed himself to be
cheated out Of the money that was due
him for cleaning the Philadelphia har'
Dor with his new tangled steamboat. go
