Elephants Teeth.

Elephants have no front teeth and
they never eat flesh or any food that re
quires tearing apart. Eight teeth are all
they have. two above and below ON each
side. huge yellow molsrs as wide as
man hand and about two inches thick.
Over these hay or fodder is shifted by
the queerest, ugliest tongue in the
whole animal kingdom, a tongue that
is literally hung at both ends. having
no power or movement except in the
middle. where il shifts back and forth
from side to side. archins up against
the roof of the big month like an i'm
nIense wrinkied pink serpent
There Is nothing stranger than the
working of an elephants tongue. unless
it be the working of his breathing ap-
paratus when he sleeps.
Elephants, like human beings. have
two sets of teeth. The milk teeth. which
are smaller than the permanent molars,
fall out when the animals are about IA
years old
These baby teeth. which are. never
theless, enormous. are occasionally pick
ed up by circus men among the fodder
and preserved as curiosities- Humane

ONE OF OUR NEEDS.

The need of new opera house
becomes more apparent every day,
Florence is growing and progress
ing in many ways, and is, in gen-
ernl, far ahead of any place of
public entertainment that now eN-
lists here. A commodious play
house of n odern design would be
patronized by companies furnish
ing high-class shows, and which
now pass us by. Even the best
show troupes that do stop here
rarely meet with the patronage
they deserve, simply because the
present opera house does not afford
the couveniences needed; it is un-
comforta BILE, and, for many reasons.
an undesirable place in which to
spend an evening.
Yes, Florence needs, among
other things, new opera house.

KEEPING AT 1T WINS.

The Grand Junction Beet Grow
ers' association is advertising for
five hundred farmers to locate in
the valley and raise beets for the
Colorado Sugar Manufacturing
company which will build large
factory at Grand Junction this
year. Very liberal Inducements
are offered to settlers who will en-
gage in beet culture.
The success of Grand junction
in securing beet sugar factory
simply shows what is possible for
Il town or city 10 accomplish by a
united effort and determination

Carving Done by Wheat.

There is a curiously carved frame
around picture recently hung in the
office of the Pendleton (Or board of
fire commissioners by Secretary Weld
Ter. 1t is made of a board of Oregon fir,
but the carving, which in places is
nearly through the board, is of such
queer pattern and i'll such a. strange
and peculiar style that no one who secs
it can imagine how it was done The
nearest guess any one makes is that 1t
is Japanese work. The fact is the hoard
was part of grain shoot and the
quaint and curious carving as well rs
the polishing was done by kernels of
wheat passing down the shoot. Just
why the wheat cut such curious curves
and of such irregular widths and depths
it is difficult to imagine. as the wood
does not appear to be any softer wher,,
the ruts are deepest. Francisco

fnE merchants of this city who
control 1909 acres of land, which
is to be devoted exclusively to the
culture of sugar beets for the next
three years. have made most
liberal offer for the current year to
all persons willing to devote their
time and labor to growing beets.
They offer the land and water
for irrigation free. Here is n
chance for every industrious home
seeker. He can in years time
test the soil and climate of Grand

at the same time make a neat sum
by raising beets for the sugar fac

Tho true policy OF taxation IL to make It rs

A similar reformation of our tarin IL. unfor-

development at which the protection OF II

Everything indicates that the consideration

THE McENsRY RESOLUTION.

The United States has at last,
through the Senate, defined its pol
icy toward our captured territories
made in the recent war with Spain
BY the passage Of the AcEnery res
olutiou. Ii is true our senators did
not vote for the resolution, but they
we're there and they did not vote
against il, therefore We must infer
that silence leut consent or they
we're at sea and did not know what
sail to hoist in the case OF emer-
geucy thrust upon them. The res
olution, If it means what il says, is
a good one. Nothing could be fair
er to the people whom we are sery-
ine-the FiliPpinos and Cubans-
and we rather think the resolution
was timely one and its passage
meaus that other nations can see
that we are not land grabbing, nor
do we have to add to our population
to keep our standard as a growing
aation to it's exalted position as
power.
The McEnerJ resolution as passed
is worded as follows;
THAT by the ratification Of the
treaty of peace with Spaia it is not
intended to incorporate the inhab-
itants of the Philippine Islands into
citizenship of the United States,
nor is 1t intended to permanently
annex said islands as an integral
part Of the territory of the United
States, but it is the intention of toe
United States to establish on said
Islands a government suitable to the
wants and conditions of the inhab,
litants of said islands, to prepare
them for local Self-government and
in due time to make such disposi-
tion of said islands as will best pro.
mote the interests of the citizens OF
the United States and the iuhablt'
ants OF said islands.
The resolution was adopted, yea,

we're present and not paired with
