A Few Points About the Latest in Pa.
PERI for Correct COrre-
spOndence.

The coquille paper, which has an
egg shell finish, is now much in de-
mand. The majority Of the tinted
papers at present are made with a
very narrow white border, both the
oblong and the square envelope are
used An envelope novelty which
promises to be a favorite is oblong in
shape,with the flap extending dag
onally across the back of the envelope,
and the point instead of being in the
center as usual is at the extreme left
hand corner, says the Detroit Free
Press. ''.
peep-tinted papers, with the e1cep=
ton of the new fad of khaki, are sell
dom used by the women of refine
ment. The pale tints are the fashion
Of the moment. Delicate heliotrope,
pistachio green, pale D4ue and faint
gray are all in favor,
Monograms and orests are smaller
than they were at the beginning Of
the winter, and are invariably inside a
circle.
The woman who always does the
correct thing never perfumes her note
paper. She never uses paper of a
strikingly pronounced tint, and she
does not change it with every whim
Of fashion. She adopts style Of pa
per which she intends to make dis
tinctively her own, and then clings
to it.

A Crop of Volcanoes.

Not far from Laytonville, Cal, a
si1-acre patch Of ground has raised a
crop of little volcanoes. A few nights
ago a tremendous rumbling and roar
ing drew attention to the fact that 25
spouters had broken loose on the side
of the mountain, each resembling a
volcano in shape, with the character
istic crater, and from each crater
gushed mud and warm vapor. Each
volcano" was about five feet high,
and the liquid mud, steaming and sput-
tering, was thrown to the height of
Is feet. and ran down the sides of the
little hills like streams of lava. Great
crowds of people hurried to the place
and for hours sat on the mountain side
and watched the phenomenon.

KANSAS 70 HAVE A NEW LAKE
II vvili ne Lseatea on . Great Prairie
snA Fed ~ the APkaAsAs
River. II

A big inland lake out on the prairies
of western Kansas will soon be q real
ity. Kansas City capitalists, headed
by A. E. Stilwell, have gone behind
the Barton county lake scheme and
are pushing the preliminary work on
it rapidly, says the Kansas City Jour
ual. liisisfn t@4}f7tbs ~
In Barton county, about eight miles
north Of Great Bend, is natural basin
.12 miles long. and six miles wide. Only
one draw leads out of it.. and that is
only $50 feet wide. Damming this will
make the basin lake. The land in the
basin is worthless for farming pur-
poses. 1t is gumbo, and the only thing
that will grow on it is salt grass. Some
years ago F. B. Koen, a rich ranchman
OF Colorado and an expert ditchman,
conceived the idea of Transforming the
salt grass basin into big lake. He or
gapized what is known as the Lake
Koen Navigation, Reservoir and Irriga,
tion company, with capital Of $780,
OO0. He did not anticipate that he
would have any difficulty in getting
hold of the worthless land in the basin,
so before acquiring it he built big
ditch, 40 feet wide and IA miles long,
connecting the Arkansas river with the
basin. t-e...-.. 1915
About the time he completed the
ditch some landsharks came along and
1n1 0f ke1 1,,, II i,,t "a ha. -
They knew they could not raise any,
thing, but figured on holding Koen up
for lot Of money because he could not
flood their land. He refused to be held
up, and at the last session of the legis-
lature he got bill through giving
ditch and lake companies the right to
condemn and take land the same as
railroads do. Acting under this law,
}lis company recently applied to the
district judge and got three appraisers
appointed to condemn the land in the
basin. The appraisers are D. W. Lin=
der, c. +. Montgomery and Fred
Moorse, all farmers of Barton county,
A couple of engineers are assisting
them. AS soon as they report the com:
pany will pay the awards and begin
work on the lake,
The scheme was recently laid before
Mr.. Stilwell and some Kansas City caps
italists and they will finance the cons
Pany. They have already advanced
about $25,OOO to pay for the land. 1T is
estimated that it will take 100000 to
make the improvements contemplated.
The big ditch leading from the Arkan-
sas to the lake will be widened and
deepened Three irrigation bitches
will be built leading from the lake. 1t
Is proposed to furnish water to irrigate
all the land in that section of the cou9,
try east of the basin, One ditch will
be cut southeast to Cew creek That
stream will be used as a canal for sew
eral miles. 1t will be damned in Rioe
county and subditches will extend
from there over that county and into
Mcpherson. The southern irrigation
canal will leave the lake at the same
place as the central and will parallel
the Arkansas river for about As miles,
emptying back into the river just west
of Hutchinson The northern canal
will run east through Ellsworth
county. .
Aside from its use as a source of irri-
CATION supply, the lake will be made a
summer resort for western Kansas
people. . ...-.

Two Funeral Orations.

By the irony of fate and the exigen-
cies of personal ambition, it became
the duty of the Hon. Joseph G. S.
Blackburn to pronounce the funeral
Grafton at the coffin of William Goebel.
And of Goebel, Senator Blackburn
said:
Build here over his grave mighty
towering granite shaft that shall defy
the corroding touch of time. Inscribe
upon itan epitaph that shall be worthy
Of the man. He earned this at our
hands. In life and death he was con-
secrated to the peoples cause. He
lived an honest life, and gave his life
for your deliverance. Of him no
eulogy but truth may say: Earth
never pillowed upon her bosom truer
son, nor Heaven opened wide her por-
tails to receive a manlier spirit
At Covington on Sunday, April IA
1898, a little less than five years ago.
the eugolist of Goebel pronounced an
other funeral grafton. That time he
stood by the coffin of Col. John L.
Sanford, who like Goebel had been
shut down in the highway. And OF
Sanford Senator Blackburn said:
"John Sanford was to me like a
brother. loved him. l hope God
may spare me, and I shall make it my
life's mission to avenge him by bury
ing his slayer in the depths of merited
public execration."
The slayer of John Sanford was Will

The people of the United States
consume 81 bushels of wheat per
capita annually. If 400,0O0,000 of
Asiatics could be induced to consume
only a peck a year each, it would
create a demand for 100,O00,0G0 BUSH
els of wheat, or the entire annual av-
erage export of the United States for
ten years past. This would immense
ly increase the European demand for
our wheat and have an inestimable
effect on the price. The same thing is
true of live stock. A pound OF meat
per capita at 10 cents would amount
to more than our entire live stock ex-
port of 1885,. which was $37 1927 800.
If the wheat raised west of the center
OF the wheat belt could be turned west
it would greatly reduce the apparent
high freight in this direction, which
is oow based upon the cost of carrying
the cars empty in one direction. An
Oriental market would also greatly en-
hance the price of Western farm
lands. Olympia Chronicle.

Logging History.

In 1850 the Albion, an English ship,
entered Puget Sound for cargo of fir
spars. Edward Higgins Of Steilacoom,
Wash, was then agent for the Hudson
Bay Company and recently told the
writer some interesting facts concern
ing the cargo. The ship was loaded
at what is now Dungeness. One hun
dred Indians were hired to drag out
and load the spars. Sometime they
pulled with so much power that they
would break four-inch hawser. The
spars were required to square twenty
four inches one-third of the distance
from the butt, so it can be seen the
sticks were large and required strong
Indian team to haul them. But that
was far away time on this Coast.
Not so very long ago in the woods
of this coast the timber had SO little
value that no one cared how wasteful
were the methods employed IN logging.
In some camps there was friendly
rivalry among the fallers as to who
could cut the highest stumps. Some
stumps can be seen nearly, if not quite
twenty feet high. Later on, by COM
mon belief, it was held that there was
so much pitch in the butts that it was
necessary to get above it to saw easily
and besides it was thought the butts
were no good for lumber. Experience
has shown that this is true of some fir
but not all of them, and that many Of
them are good to the ground. So
stumps are cut lower now and much
good lumber obtained that once was
wasted.-W. G. & 2. S. Lumberman.

A JAPANESE merchant, now on the
Sound, is endeavoring to purchase
from 100000 to 400, 900 salmon for ex-
port to that country. Under present
conditionsit is not very probable that
business of great magnitude can be
built up in that direction. The catch
OF the lower Sound and British Colum-
bla is too valuable for canning pur-
poses, while in the upper Sound,
through want of protective regulations
and the wanton destruction of dog
salmon the supply has been so reduced
that barely enough can be secured to
cover current wants. A few years ago
a Tacoma company received large or
ders for shipments of cured salmon to
Japan, but what promised to develop
into an extensive business was check
ed because of the growing scarcity and
advanced price of fish. There is op-
portunity to prevent further destruc-
tion of the supply of these salmon,
which constitute practically the en-
tire catch for several months in the
year, while artificial propagation, if
its effectiveness becomes fully demon
strated, should be resorted to.-W. c..

The attempt of the government to
induce the adoption of conservative
methods Of numbering in order to pre-
serve the national resources, and the
responsive interest taken by timber
owners have brought pp many inter
esting legal questions, and the divi-
sion OF forestry has found it necessary
to make extensive researches in this
direction. AS the result, a circular
dealing with matters which affect
forests, is in course of preparation and
and will be sent free to persons inter-
ested. One of the most important
Joints brought out is the recognition
by law of the prospective value of grow
ing timber The possibility of profit
ably carrying on numbering with sys-
tematic provision for future cutting
depends upon this point. 1t has US
ually been held that when, by trespass,
or by unscrupulous cutting by con-
tractors, timber has been removed
contrary to the owners wish, he could
recover only its stumpage value. AS
forestry usually requires that certain
number of trees OF certain size be left.
it follows that an INSCRIPTIONS con-
tractor could upset the plans of years
with little fear of punishment. The
supreme court, however, has recently
ruled that the difference in value be-
tween logged and unlogged land de-
pends not only on the value of the
timber removed, but on its probable in
crease had it been left untouched -
