Parents of this town and teachers
of the public school are respectfully
cited to the dangers which children
encounter when playing about the
site of the new concentrator. 1t has
been noticed that youngsters run
about the tramway when the men
are hosting lumber, when a break
of any kind might break a rib or a
limb or even grind the needless lit
tie one to pulp. Boys and girls
have climbed to the high stone
foundations where timbers are piled
promiscuously, children running
where slip of a beam might do Sc
rious injury. A timely word will
correct this evil, and we hope the
word will be given. There is not
much time in the midst of boom to
go to a funeral.

Hunting Marsh Hogs.

Hunting wild marsh hogs is an ex-
citing but somewhat dangerous pastime
in southern Texas, said c. l.. Fielden
of that state ''In the swampy lands
along the gulf these wild hogs have
their habitat, and to hunt them it is
best to have several companions and
numerous dogs that understand the
ways of the ferocious porkers. The dog
will find the game for you, bay it and
hold it in check until you can take
shot or two. Then everything depends
ON your aim. If you succeed in pierre
ing a vital part with your Winchester
bullet, all is over except dragging the
carcass to some convenient point where
it can be handled.
''But dangerous is your position if
your aim is trifle defective and your
shot only wounds the animal Some
good and true shooting must be done
instanter then by you and your com
rades, or else an infuriated boar will be
rending you with his tusks. have seen
more than one of these old bears shot
through the body 90 or more times and
in that condition fight man and dog
until several balls had been fired into
his head.
"In the marshes there is no possible
way of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter can
make no headway through the tall
rank grass and boggy soil, and there
are no trees that offer him refuge. For
these reasons he is compelled to kill his
game when once it is flushed or become
himself a victim. In the fall of the year
these marsh hogs are fat, and their flesh
is of a very pleasing flavor. Wash

The table of assessment returns

The table of assessment returns
by mining companies published last
week has excited considerable com
ment. The HERALD wishes to state
that if the same contained any err
rors, they are not errors of this pa
per, but that anyone can see the list
from which this table was taken in
the office of Richard Bennett, clerk
of the school board. The values
published are those returned to the
school board from the assessors
books, and the figures are supposed
to be correct.

PASSING OF THE NlGHTCAP.
Our Catarrhal Troubles Are Largely
Due to Its Abandonment.


Due to Its Abandonment.
eff the American people would only
put on nightcaps when they go to bed
there would not be near so many cases
of catarrhal trouble as there are now,"
said a Chicago physician. He contin-
ned: "It is well known that as ma
tion the percentage of catarrhal com
plants is greater among us than in any
other nation in the world and that there
are more cases among men than among
women. The reason for this dispropor-
tion is the absence of nightcaps and the
habit of smoking in the open air Wo-
men, if they smoke at all, do not do so
in the open air, and if they do not wear
nightcaps they are in a measure pro-
tected by their heavier heads of hair
Men, on the contrary, habitually wear
their hair close cut, are careless about
the temperature of the rooms in which
they sleep, and while all the rest of the
body is carefully protected the head
may be exposed all night TO zero tenn
perature and that at the very time
when nature is at its lowest ebb and
can do the least to protect itself. If we
would begin by nightcapping all our
children and induce them to keep up
the habit in later years, within gen
Grafton or two catarrh would be a COM
paratively rare disease in the United
States.
"Englishmen and the people of the
continent know an American by two
things-his liberality with money and
his habit of hawking and splitting.
They cannot understand the latter. as
catarrh is an unusual complaint abroad.
But nightcaps are not. They are a recog-
niZed part of the night toilet through
out Europe, and to this is due the free
dom of the people there from a distress
ing complaint.
''Who ever sees a nightcap in this
country But in England it is so much
matter of course that its great writer,
Dickens, frequently mentioned it in or
der to give the proper touch of realism
to his creations. " - Chicago Inter

ARE LABORING MEN SCARCE?

All the talk and press inter-
views about the railroads being un-
able to get laborers to work on sec
tions, and on general railroad work,
is highly ridiculous to westerner.
The talk is evidently directed to-
ward the swaying of public senti-
ment in favor of system which off
ers to the masses nothing but starv-
alton. The going offer for section
men and common labor upon the
Great Northern railroad is $1.25 to
S1.4O a day, and we are informed
that many sections are actually man
ned at a wage scale of Sl.1O day.
At Neihart the wage is $1.25. The
section crew gets board for 81 cents
day. Then when Incidental ex-
penses of living and buying clothes
at western prices are counted it is
hard to avoid adding 80 cents to
the above figure. Taking $1.O7
from S1.25, the laborer has left the
princely sum of Is cents a day. Ii
he work 30 days in the month, and
most of them do unless disabled by
sickness, his savings amount to
$40 for the month
Every man is supposed in politi-
cal economy to be the head of a
family. AS head Of a family, his
wages must be sufficient to main
tain family of wife and two or
three children allowing something
for monthly savings. This is the
standard basis of the wages propo-
sition, and no reasonable man can
get away from the fact. Here is a
country where it is next to impossi-
BILE to maintain the average family
on less than $40 a month, allowing
the wage Garner to work every day
and save nothing. But the Great
Northern railroad would have him
work 30 days for $3.50, and is then
amazed that laborers are scarce.
Tn Naihart the lahOrar'S waUe
scale is 50 per day. Miners are
paid $3.50 and $4. Ranch hands in
this vicinity draw $50 and $50 a
month and board. School teachers
receive $75 and 800 month Sec
ton men are asked to work the same
for S37 80 a month and the railroad
complains that the laborer prefers tc
be a hobo. 1t is not surprising 1t
is indeed surprising that anybody
stands such a graft and converts his
toll into cash on such a peonic bas
is. We would rather chop wood of
the government domain, rather ped
die tinware from ranch to ranch
rather superintend the gentle rowing
band of sheep, than work on the
grade for company whose system
is driving its employees to poverty

The editor of a certain Montana
paper does not wish to be placed in
the position of the Ohio editor and
asks his delinquents to take the hint
thus delicately conveyed and settle
when the occasional statement is
sent out. He quotes this story from
the Findlay, Ohio, Courier:
An editor who died of starvation,
was being escorted to heaven by an
angel who had been sent out for that
purpose. "May look at the other
place before we ascend to eternal
happiness?" easily" said the ang-
eI. So they went below and skirm-
ished around, taking in the sights.
The angel lost sight of the editor
and went around Hades to hunt him
up. He was found sitting by furn-
ace, flaming himself and gazing
with rapture on lot of people in
the fire. There was sign on the
furnace which said: "Delinquent
Subscribers. "Come said the ang-
ell, "we must be going" You 60
on" said the editor, "I'm not going.
This is heaven enough for me-"
