Mr.. Clark brings to market 1900
pounds of wool this season. Next
year he says he will have fully twice
that much.
Mr.. Clark has about 5000 sheep,
ESQ cattle and about 400 head of
horses. He has paid in the last
year an average of $3.50 per month
for supplies and freight. 1t costs
him "a cents per pound to freight
from Lewiston. The eight six horse
teams that hauled his $4,000 pounds
of wool to market will go back loaded
with supplies The cost of bringing
the wool down cent per pound and

Tarred With the Same Stick.

A preacher once said: editors
dare not tell the truth. If you did
you could not live. Your newspaper
would be a failure y The editor
replied; "You are right, and the
minister who at all times tell the
truth about the members, alive or
dead, will not occupy the pulpit more
than one Sunday, and he will find it
necessary to leave town in hurry.
The press and pulpit go hand in hand

BOTTLED SUNSHINE.
Radium Has Wonderful Power and
Is Highly Expensive.


Is Highly Expensive.
Bottled sunshine has at last become a
possible thing, though somewhat costly.
Radium is the mineral which promises to
furnish US with practically enduring bot
tied sunshine. The popularity of this
bottled sunshine, however, is that it is
without heat
Professor Langley, who has been max
ing experiments in this direction, recently
received two Theoretically sealed walls
containing radium, mineral discovered
by Nine. Tklodowska Curie, a Polish
chemist, in the salts of uranium. The
professor has found radium to possess
wonderful properties. From these walls,
which are each about the size Of your lit
tie finger, an unceasing greenish white
light issues.
This remarkable light gives its immedi-
ate surroundings a peculiar glow, like
that from Y rays. One of the walls con-
tains a white, starehlike powder, and the
other a similar substance broken into
cubes with faces a tenth of an inch in
dimension. In the dark these walls give
sufficient light to enable one to read a
printed page held closely to them.
The power shown by this small guam
conclusion that half a pound Of the min
eral, il thinly spread out, would light an
ordinary sitting room.
Moreover, if in giving off light the
radium parts with energy, it is so slight
as not to be measurable, an estimate be-
| ing that an almost indefinite time would
| be required to exhaust the light giving
! properties Of the two small vials in ques-
! ton. Its energy is apparently in the
! mineral itself, for after being in the dark
! for n couple of months the light given
forth was nOwise weaker.
/ Curiously enough, chemists used hith-
erto to treat radium as though it were
/ practically valueless, but now the mineral
has become so precious that it costs
about $1,000 an ounce, for only small
quantities of it are found in uranium,
and its extraction is very costly.
This mysterious radium is capable of
emitting two distinct sets of rays-One
like ordinary daylight and the other like
Y rays. Moreover, the rays have the ef-
feet Of sunlight on a Photographic mega
tive. Finally, tried as an X ray, the light
was found capable Of photographing
through the wood of a plate holder.

To any person who has any conception
of the commercial possibilities dormant
in the Mississippi it must appear strange
if some adequate utilization is not ulti-
mately made of them. The great river
with its tributaries constitutes the most
remarkable system Of inland waterways
in the world. From the mouth of the
Mississippi steamers may be navigated
to 81 states and territories, and TO
make the entire circuit would require
several months continual steaming. The
navigation of the river from st. Louis to
New Orleans, a distance of 1900 miles,
is practicable at all. seasons of the year,
even for the largest steamers, but above
st. Louis and on the Ohio river, the lat
ter being 1000 miles in length. the heav-
Ter craft may ply with safety only during
intervals Of high water. Some eODcep-
ton of the force of the current of the
Mississippi may be gained from the fact
that it has an outflow of 100000 cubic
feet an hour, a discharge only exceeded
by that of the Amazon and La Plata
rivers.

DRAWING FOR HOMES.
The Governments Unique Lottery
for Oklahoma Lands.
MANY THOUSANDS PRESENT

Names First Drawn Were Greeted
With Wild cheers-crowd Suggest
ed That Lucky Man and Woman
Should Get Married.
Ell Reno. o. T., July SO.-Oklaho-
mas great land lottery was begun
here in earnest yesterday, and when
the commissioners appointed by the
Federal government adjourned the
drawings for the day 1000 of the
choice of the 1900 160-acre claims in
the Kiowa-Comanche country had been
awarded. IA
The first name drawn from the
wheels was that of Stephen A. Hol-
comb, of Paul's Valley l. T., for a
homestead in the Ell Reno district,
and the second, Leonard Lamb, Of nj
gusta, o. T. These two men select
the two choicest claims in this district.
The capital prize winners, however,
proved to be James R. Wood, of
Weatherford, o. T., whose name was
the first to come from the Lawton
district wheel. and Miss Matte H.
Beals, of Wichita, Kan, who drew sec
Ond number in that district. They won
the first filings in the Lawton district,
and will undoubtedly choose the two
quarter sections adjoining that town.
These are considered the most valua-
BILE in the territory and are, it is esti-
mated, worth from $4,000 to $4,000
each. 1t is estimated that fully $4,000
persons witnessed the drawing.
Every man who did not draw a
prize from the wheels yesterday had
steadfast faith that to-day or to-mor
row will surely see him the possesaoE
of slip reading him title clear tC
$50 acres. of Oklahoma's land.
When the close of the drawing fol
the day was announced at O'Clock
hundreds who had neither eaten mol

ground where they stood from sheer
fatigue or went YEARLY to find places
| for rent or to refTeshment booths up
| town. The day was remarkably fret
from quarrels, and general satisfac
ton with the governments method O.
dispOsing of the land was felt.
It has been found that many hun
dred applicants have repeated" anC
that others have applications so illegi
BILE that they will be thrown out. Owe
this much dlscord has resulted, ant
the outcome may be an appeal 30 TIN
courts.
The first name brought out for tn,
LawtOn district was that of jane
r. Woods, of Weatherford, o. T., ant
the crowd went wild. This mean
that Woods would be able to claim tn
quarter section adjoining LawtO
town, one of the choicest in the entir
country.
The second ticket was drawn, an
Colonel Dyer cried out: II have tn
pleasure to announce the name of tn
first woman to draw prize, Matti
H. Beal. of Wichita, Kan"
Then Colonel Dyer gave her descriI
ton as % years old, feet inches i
height, Just the height Of Woods"
Instantly the crowd caught the hi
NOR of the situation, and thousand
of threats sent up the shout:
"They must get married"
The eighteen h winner in the Law

This may be the age of steel, steal,
progress and reform, but we are not inn
proving in some lines with commendable
speed. The eyelets in our shoes are
round, but we still wear fat strings. The
loops on our summer trousers are placed
so low that the waistband protrudes
above the belt. The strap on the neck
band Of our shirt is long enough to let
our tie slip over the top of the collar.
Our hats are made for bullet headed
men; those with long heads must have
new purchase stretched out Of shape to

Great Scarcity OF Homely Vegetables
That Made ireland Famous.
Philadelphia, July 31.-The entire
east is threatened by potato famine.
Here are few startling facts:
Potatoes, which last year at this
time sold at S1.25 a barrel, now sell
at 81, and dealers do not hesitate to
declare that the S. per bar ell mark
will be soon reached. The early crop.
during the unfavOrable weather con-
ditiOns, rotted in the ground. This
happened in all the potato growing
sections. The shipments from the
South are all in. They were only half
what they were last year. The only
thing that can check the upward price
of potatoes will be the late crop, and
this is not due until September. From
all parts come the same cry of crop
failure. It is waited here from the in
terror of this state and from New Jer-
sey and Delaware. There is some
hope held out that the yield from New
York and Michigan will be satisfac-
tory, but it is only a hope Maryland
appears to be the only state that will
give a fair crop.
