ANOTHER sCIO.

From being quiet school village Scio
has become an oil town with large in

make Sunday and night hideous, The
Exchange says: ''Last Sunday there
we're drunken men staggering about on
the streets, fights, shouting, cursing,
etc, etc.
An exchange say: "The scio council
has an ordinance against slot machines.
We presume the policy will be to col
lect monthly fines and let the machines
run as long as the owners pay monthly
fines. A Canton attorney owns quite a
number of the machines in operation. "
There ara now nine dry holes in the
Scio oil field, Hartwig's European
Hotel was fined 500 and costs, and the
Casino $3.50 for liquor selling. The
proprietor of the Casino was fined 500
the other day. The citizens have set
down on the "wide.open" policy Of the
town. Many of the gamblers have been
run out of town, gambling devices done
away with, at least openly, and immoral
shows stopped. The humane society
has stopped hauling during the muddy

A RICH PLOODER.
Young John ID. Rockefeller Puts on
the Heavy Harness of Business.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., who has Just
made his bow in the business world by
being elected one of the directors OF the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, ls an exception among rich
mems sons. This young man, whose ia
ther has piled up more millions than all
his relatives could spend In two gen.
erations, Is doing none of the things
which most young men do under sim
liar circumstances. He is neither an
ldler, sport nor a spendthrift.
Instead he is working as hard as II
he had his own fortune to make. He
does not smoke or drink. On weekdays
he goes regularly to his desk. On Sun
days he attends church and teaches a
Sunday school class. He spends his
evenings at home and ignores both the
aters and society At 23 he enters the
business world a quiet, unassumlng
young man, who evidently intends to
work hard and do something on his own
account.
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., has grown up
under his fathers eye, and there Is no
evidence that he has ever wished to re-
bel at the parental supervision. Even
when he was away from home at col
lege he was classed among the quiet
students and never distinguished him
self by the escapades which sometimes
signalize the escape from leading strings
Of the heirs Of great fortunes. His
natural talent for business, however,
displayed itself while he was at Brown,
and he was made business manager OF
the football team, post of dignity and
Importance among undergraduates.
His education did not cease with his
return from college, for his father lost
no time in making a place for him in
the Office where the enormous inter-
ests of the great Standard Oil compa-
ny, of which he is the head, are man

into a sinecure. His employment in his

CANNING OF BEEF,
Court of Inquiry Watched the Work In

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE court of in
quiry resumed its work regarding beef,
by continuing the investigation of pro-
cesses Of preparation at the stocByards.
Several more of the packing houses
were inspected, most of the time being
spent i'll examining the methods of ono

stages from the killing of the beef to the
labelling of the can were witnessed.
Army commissaries have been sum-

their testimony will be taken today.
These are Lieutenant Colonel 0. NJ.

ENORMOUS EXPENDITURES.

The late congress was assuredly one
of lavish expenditure. The total Of it's
appropriations, as estimated by Chair
man Cannon, amounts to 81 $50, 800, ,0l6.
OF this $iS2, ,562, 1888 was appropriated
to meet the expenses of war. OF course
the people will not complain of this for
they know that war IS to be paid for,
and costs. But sub'racting the war
cost from the total still leaves the
general appropriations over billion,
81 .0S4, 1915 an increase over the
previous Congress OF $50, 700, 900.
Chairman Cannon claimed that much
OF this expenditure was unavoidable,
owing to necessities which Congress
could not escape. Pensions, river and
harbor contracts, the postoftice, the
Paris exposition, the French spoliation
claims and new ships for the navy were
important factors in swelling the total
Secretary Gage In his report last Decem-
ber estimated the deficit for the present
fiscal year at S3l, ,0O0, 600, but it will be
nearer 100000, 900 at this rate an
other bond issue will soon be needed.

fathers office was not vain pretense.
The elder Rockefeller had begun with
nothing but a strong will and a ca
pacious brain, and he knew the value OF
a thorough mastery Of details. He re-
solved that his son should have a train
Ing which should mean something and
which would not leave him defenseless
when the time came for him to stand
alone.
Therefore the young man received no
privileges that were not accorded equal
ly to the other clerks, and he asked
none. He took to business as II the love
of It had been born in him, In this
manner he learned the power and the
value of money and all the intricacies
OF the management of the scores of
diverse plans and industries In which
his father is interested.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller win probably
not appear as a speculator on the flnan-
cial exchanges, lie win gradually as
sumo other positions Of responsibility,
and in time the load Of wealth which
now burdens his fathoT'o shoulders may
be shifted TO the sons.

sent out into the frozen wilds where
even gold crazed argonauts had not
dared to venture.
Among these expeditions was one led
by Lieutenant Joseph G. Castner Of the
Fourth Regular infantry. He was or
dered to start at Delta river, on the
southern coast, and find trail straight
across the country to Circle City, the
object being to survey an all American
route to the goldfelds. The young lieu
tenant came from West Point but a
few years ago He had been taught
nothing in tactics about how to avoid
starving and freezing in a traCkless,
bitter waste. but he cheerfully accepted
the mission.
With two soldiers and 90 days ra-
tions he started. The party crossed ra-
vines, rivers and mountains, but no.
where could they find the trail indicated
on the maps. The discovery was made
several days ont that the extra rice and
beans ordered to be packed had not been
included, and as a result there was
shortage of provisions, particularly
-four SO scarce did this become that
bread was only made every third day.
At last threatened starvation COM
PEELED them to turn back. The wrecking
of their raft left them without food of
any kind. All that was saved was coil
Of rope. With the rope another raft was
built, and for six days the three men
floated down the river, living on ber-
ries and rose apples They were with
out shoes or moccasins, their feet being
covered with canvas, tied with string,
and, just as hope was almost gone, the
party drifted into an encampment of
Tanana Indians. Here they were hos
pitably received and fed, and after rest
ing were guided to a camp Of white
men, 100 miles up the stream, where
the party rested until boat could
carry them to the Yukon.
Lieutenant Castner's report has been
received in Washington and another
record Of heroism has been written in
the musty volumes of the war depart
ment.
