tained a pure quality of sulphate of
soda. In Analysing the crude salt of
the lake, traces of sulphate Of soda,
sulphate of lime and calcium chloride
are found, and it has long been the
custom fer a few enterp1ising men to
so to the lake in winter time and
gather from the shores and bars what
has Geen known to them as winter
salt. In fact, the presence of large
crystals appearing like salt and found
only in cold weather has long been
known and commented upon. This

really very pure article Of sulphate
of soda, commonly called glauber salt,
and 1t has beena subject of much COM

This, however, is now fully cleared
up.
A few weeks ago, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, the salt company found it
necessary to extend, by ditch or

owing to tho lowering of the lake, and
Manager J. W. Haywood IN prosecut-
ing the work struck at q depth of six
inches below the old lake-bed this
soda deposit. He brought samples to
town and it was found to be pure
sulphate Of soda mixed with silica,
which can be separated without trou.

by the soap and glass works OF the
country, and gives a particular luster
to plate glass that can be obtained in
no other way.
While large quantities of carbonate

quantities are imported from Eng

from sodium chloride, or common

An Interrupted Dream.


Back to the home where, rs q boy,
Life to me was q constant Joy;
Standing alone in the bright white glow
OF the wintry sun on tho sparkling snow,
There seem to come through flmy haza
Faces and forms OF bygone days.
Faces and forms long since forgot,
Troop from the past to that hallowed spotA
Faces bright with the glow Of health,
Forms unbent by the race for wealth.
While grim and gray with the frosts OF 1ifes
Melting thoughts in my heart are rife.
Here it was in tho long ago,
In the holiday timo all white with snows
That merry maid with rougish eye
Whispered. "Stay-say not goodby"
And as fond memory stirs my heart,
I'm wide awake with sudden start,
For here in my lap rs sit and doze.
Her daushtor's been tickling her old dada
nose!

GEER TURNED DOWN.

AS predicted in our last issue, the
Oregon delegation has turned 7. T.
Geer down, and turned him down
pretty hard. Geer was one of the
Mckinley electors, and as such
received the highest vote on the
ticket. He actively canvassed the
state last fall, and has always been
an aggressive party fighter. He
was chosen to go to Washington
and cast the ballot of the state for
Mckinley. In view of these and
other services Geer believed that he
was entitled to one of the good
offices in the state, and asked for
the Office of collector of customs at
Portland. When the delegation
got together the other day they
refused to endorse him for that
position but did endorse him for the
office of register at the Oregon City
land office, a place that Geer had
never asked for. This is quite a
come down. The salary ofcollector
is $4,000 year, while that of
register at Oregon City is $500 a
year and fees, but it is alleged that
the fees have dropped away until
they only amount to about $Ioo
per month. Geer and his friends
are naturally very indignant over
the matter. Geer says that it is no
more than he expected, and that it
has occurred so often that he is
getting used to it.

Some of our exchanges of oppo-
site political faith are overjoyed
evidently because one-ffth of all of
the sheep of the world have been
destroyed; because blight has
ruined the wheat crop of Brazil,
Argentina, Australia, France and
other countries; because the hop
crop of all Europe is nearly com.
plete failure; because the foreign
wars and Indian famine are causing
a market for American cattle and
produce. 1t makes US prosperous
we admit since we have an abun-
dance, and to spare, of all the
things mentioned. 1t begins in
deed to look like prosperity had
returned. But will it be permanent?
1t will last but a short time. Had
we not been providentially blessed
with abundant harvests what would
have been the result? What would
have been our condition? Wheat
perhaps would have reached the
one dollar mark and how many
working men would have had the
means to buy a sack of -four? Our
condition would have been most
deplorable. No man can bring
famine or pestilence, neither can
any man stay it. 1t is not pros
perity which we think we see. 1t
is but passing light which cannot
last but for time. Your cries of
prosperity, returned confidence"
etc., are only the echoes of the wall
of suffering thousands III foreign
lands.
That prosperity may come is our
sincere wish but we no not want
millions Of people to starve that we
may have it. Let it De brought
about in the regular order ofthings
and then in all probability it will
be permanent. Then we can well
come it as friend. 1t will not
then be the price of blood, but the
result of wise and judicious laws
passed and enforced.-Wallowa
