DEAR FOLDED HANDS.

Dear, folded hands so worn with care.
So quiet on the pulseless breast,
Will any burden need you there.
If Heaven is a place of rest?
And you, dear heart will you forget
The struggles of these lower lands
Or is there some sweet service yet
For folded hands?
Yours was the never ending task
Born of a neverending need,
Our selfishness it was, to ask,
Your sweet unselfshness to heed.
And now in the unwonted rest
Long promised in the better lands,
How can you sit an idle guest
With folded hands?
No tears to dry, no wounds to bind,
No sufferer to tend and bless
Where will those eager fingers find
A need for all their tenderness?
Yet, knowing all they did before,
Perchance the Father understands,
And holds some precious work In store
For folded hands.

THE WESTERN POTATO BOOM.
Hail to thee, once humble
Dweller IN the earth,
who with right might grumble
At thy lowIy birth.
Now we find 1t hard to calculate thy
worth.
Higher still and higher
Goes thy price carecning;
TO thy hearts desire
Thou must now be nearing;
Out of sight thou art, but never out
Of hearing.
Crop reports are full
or thy upstart fame;
Wheat, and corn. and wool,
Compared with thee are tame;
Thou wingless art, but thou dost g9g
there just the same.
Where thou art we know not.
Where thou yet mayst be,
Indications show not.
Yet we know that we
VIII need a Cresceus if we wouj1
keep up with thee.
Like a busted miner,
Who away doth roam
Takes d coastwisc liner,
Sails for far-Off Nome.
And soon returns to buy a railroad
line at home
Like a selling platter
At a fair grounds track;
Some four-minutes gaiter
That not u sport will back;
Who finishes ahead and draws down
all the sack
Like some plain-faced maiden,
In a village small,
Who has often laden
The chairs along the wall
At dances, but who weds the richest
man Of all.
Had cid Montc2uma
For a minute known
lust how much mazuma
ThOu'dst be worth, we own
We think he'd dug no gold buc
mined for thee alone.
We were wont to think
Long-dead ducks were high
And the stars that twink
Led way up in the sky;
Yet both thou soon wilt pass ami
distance, by and by.
Cauvasbacks on toast.
Once a luxury,
With a Murphy roast
A mere side dish will be.
And quail will look like ham served
in a meal with thee.
How lofty art thou going
In thy frantic rise?
Soon thou wilt be knowing
The secrets of the skies,
Ana gaze through heavens gates
with all thy many eyes.
Young Darius Green.
Could he but have hit
On a wing machine.
That like thou cOuldst fit,
Would ne'er have known the pangs

Never learn to fly,
And find it quite surprising

INTERESTED IN THE VALLEY.
P. Ekstein of Cleveland. Ohio,
is Taking Considerable Inter-
est in Grand Valley.

Mr.. 2. Ekstein, very wealthy cloak
manufacturer, of Cleveland, Ohio, has
been spending several days in the city
visiting with his friend, j. M. Sampliner.
Since his arrival here, Mr.. Ekstein has
conversed with a number OF persons re-
gardipg certain projects for the Grand
valley among them being the proposed
high line ditch.
mr.. Ekstein seemed to be greatly in
tsrested in the scheme. as it was de-
tailed to him. for the erection OF a high
line waterway which would be the
means OF reclaiming thousands Of acres
OF land that is now a barren waste, aud
yesterday he drove out into country to
see for himself the nature of the land
which would thus be put under water
for cultivation.
Today Mr.. Ekstein went with Mr..
George Smith to the mines Of the Cameo
Coal company at Palisade, for the pur
pose Of looking over the mines OF that
company, and to review, with Mr.. Smith
the proposed water, light and power
plant
Men Of the financial standing OF Mr.
Ekstein are those whom Grand valley
desires to interest in her great resources.
All that is necessary to develop vast
area, an empire almost in extent and
richness, is capital, and when those who
represent capital once see the vast re-
sources Of the valley they are at once
impressed.
Mr.. Ekstein will present the possibil-
ties of the big power plant proposed by
Mr.. Smith to his friends and busint So
associates in Cleveland and they may
become interested to sufficient extent to
furnish the capital to push this great
scheme to completion.
The vast body of coal land, which will
be part OF the company proposed, will
be sufficient to make dozen men
wealthy. 1t might lie idle for years and,
undeveloped, make men rich, but with
capital to place the product on the mar
ket, to increase the size OF the working
veins Of coal, there is money and an
abundance OF it right now for those who
become Interested

STILL LARGER.

The paragraph which appeared in
these columns two weeks ago about an
eight-and-One-half pound rutabaga
has brought out the information that
Leon county produces much larger
ones than that. A telephone message
from the plantation of Mr.. Robert
Bradford to this Office a few days ago
says that they had, been feeding fifty
head Of cattle from three-quarters of
an acre of rutabagas for nearly two
months, and have gathered several
that weighed over fifteen pounds. If
any farmer in this county can beat this
let him come forward.

Section 2. That for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this act
the sum of five hundred dollars Is
hereby appropriated out of any funds
not otherwise appropriated"
Under this act this committee wak

The Legislature of 1890. thus cx-
pressly PIT its seal OF cNadamnation
upon the present lease system of this
State, and by this act of the Legisla,
ture the people of this State have every
reason to expect that q change for the
better be made in the convict system
Of the State. 1t is not necessary for
us to go into details as to the defects
found by the last committee of the
Legislature that visited the various
.convicts camps. Abuses then existing as
the treatment of the prisoners, under
the frequent visits Of the Supervisor of
State COnvicts and Convict Camps,
have been reduced to a minimum, and
we feel that the results obtained fully
Justify the expectations entertained
when the law was passed providing
for a Supervisor OF State Convicts;
through the State Supervisor Of Con-
victs the State came more nearly IN
touch with the prisoners than it pos
sibly could through an administrative
officer, who has numerous daily duties
requiring his time and attention. While
the improvement has been and is all
that could be expected under the pres
ent system, it does not meet the de-
mands of Al enlightened convict sys-
TEN in accord with the more humane
treatment OF prisoners.

STATE LIFE ASSURANCE.

Mr.. EditOr:-Impressed with the
belief that the most important ahd
benefcent act which could be enacthl
by our State Legislature would be- a
provision for the establishment of a
Bureau of State Life Assurance,
beg to tTespass upon your kindness to
give space to such views as I may be
able to adduce on this most important
subject
Promising that l have but small ac-
quaintance with the details of such or
ganizatiOns, and shall therefore not at
tempt to enter upon that phase of such
enterprises, shall, leaving this to the
maturer judgment and experience of
those who would be called upon to or
ganize and perfect its working ma
cPinery, cOnfine myself to a brief ex-
position of the benefits which would
accrue to the State, and to the indi-
vidual citizens thereof. AS matters
now stand in regard to life assurance
in this State, hundreds of dollars are
annually carried from the pockets Of
its citizenship to enrich foreign corpOr-
ate organizations beyond our borders,
all of which should be and could be re-
tained at home.
AS these. numberless organizations
have established themselves within the
State, and soNfar monopolized largely
the constituency of such organizations,
the progress of a State organization
would naturally be at first be proper
tiOnately slow, but offering such guar
antee of solvency to which no private
organization could approach, it would
soon absorb all future investments in
this direction, and it will only be ne
cessary tOdraw attention to the OBJ
viOus benefits accruing to attract the
earnest and enthusiastic support of the
entire citizenship.
AS the State would ever require only
sufficient revenue to operate the State
and county governmental machinery
and cancel it's outstanding encum-
brances, therefore as revenue from the
Bureau of Assurance would be realized,
commensurate reduction of tax on
real and personal property would en-
sue, and finally all such taxation would
be abolished. Again, as patronage Of
the institution increased, the cost of
life policies would diminish until the
poorest citizen, relieved from taxation
and enabled to insure his life at a
minimum, would do so, and relieved Of
financial burden and mental anxiety
for the future welfare of his family,
would live on with prolonged, happy
and useful life.
Under such conditions, populations
would grow in the State and capital
would follow commensurately, and
internal improvements and the re-
cuperation of vast areas Of land now
lying neglected would result, and man
