money can be profitably invested, and IT
wants a whole rot OF capital to come in,
buy and develop mines, increase local
commerce, build up the camps, create a
hot, exciting boom. The charge by inn
plication that this paper is given to
"drawing the long bow" is not founded
on fact, as readers of both The MINER
and Standard know. Without keeping
up a noisy, continued story series of ex-
clamations relative to its reliability, THE
MINER has at least won the reputation
of being sincere in its statements.
But the Standard makes a vague refer
ence to vacant buildings and idle quartz
mills, as results of the late lamcnted
boom. That is Il vague generality that
would win the heart Of Il "conserva-
tive" but would have no weight with a
man who knows how TO take fact and
draw u conclusion. There are in Sump-
ter today, perhaps, dozen vacant build
ings, business houses and residences.
During the few months Of business ac-
tivity in this camp there were more than
two hundred buildings erected, more
than 04 per cent of which are either
yielding the owners II big interest or are
occupied by owners who are engaged in
profitable occupation. The per cent
age OF idle quartz mills is not so great by
two-thirds. TmE MINER simply claims
that il il better for all concerned that
Sumpter should have grown thus rapidly
in six months than no slowly in six
years because life is too short to prac-
ticc the Standards stagnation theory.

folder for the Union Pacific, which con-
tains seven pages of agate type, dcscrip-
tive Of towns along the lines Of the o. II.

This descriptive work was done by
Colonel =. Donan, who has no equal in
this sphere Of literary effort. The com.
pany issues 100000 copies of thes folders

that IL advertising which counts, which
amounts to something, especially AZ in
this case, where the matter is compiled
by man who understands the business,

Isn't il about time the Portland Cham
ber Of Commerce was "endorsing" this
gigantic proposition to let the world
know there il such state as Oregon
yes, and the man behind the pen?
Now the small-borc papers all over the
Northwest are shuddering with moral
shocks and throwing fits ON account Of
the municipal corruption in Seattle, re-
vcaled to public gaze by the recent kill
ing Of the chief Of police Of that town by
the boss gambler. All this stuff Is trans
parcntly dishonest. The city govern
ment Of seattle IL no more corrupt than
those Of other towns approaching 1t in
size, Portland, Spokane and Tacoma,
and the papers that are pretending TO be
80 drcadiully shocked know this state
ment to be true. They see an opportu-
nifty to preach sermons on morality,
think their readers want something Of
the kind in this connection and are
merely supplying II demand. Men
around newspaper offices know better
than most people that there il no such
thing as honesty and purity in munic-
ipal politics, after u "push" has secured
control of the machine, Squared" the
newspapers and feel secure in its title To

ernment is always just as good ~ its
citizens deserve. Wherever "business
interests" rule, there crooked work
fourishcs. There is not only no senti-
ment in business and commerce; but
scarcely II trace Of patriotism or honesty.
As WAS expected by Tms MINER, the
Lawton Standard makes no attempt to
defend its attitude Of hostility to bust
ness activity, generally designated as u
boom, but dodgcs around the issue in
this wise:

In al English paper there appeared
recently the veracious story of two
brothers who lived in the Rocky noun
tains. They had two rifles, one bullet
and a keg of powder. With thiS@ruttit
they managed to kill on an average
twenty-seven head Of buffalo q day.
The way they managed vas this: Broth
or No. l would stand on one side of a
buffalo and shoot thro>h it, TIE bullet
going into the barrel of the rifle OF
Brother No. 2, who stood on the other
side, Then Brother No. 2 would fire
Through the next buffalo into the rifle
of Brother No. l. and SO on until the
days sport was over.
Some one who saw this story has
written to say that he is acquainted
with a man, Il cousin. he thinks, Of the
two mentioned, who also lived In the
Rocky mountains ut one time. He had

Fill a glass vessel with lampblack,
colored silk or worsted. Focus the rays
Of the sun In a lens-that is, hold a
magnlfying glass so that the rays pass
through 1t before they fall on the glass
vessel. Then revolve in the light, be-
tween the lens and the vessel, a disk
with an opening or slit In it so that the
light is alternately falling on the YES
sci and being shut out. Now listen, and
you will hear a noise when the light
passes through the slit, but there will
be silence when it Is shut out. You
must place your ear close to the glass
holding the silk or other substance.
Another experiment Is to use a prism
instead of al ordinary lens. This makes
a rainbow. and us the rays pass

YALE'S HOLIDAY TRIM MlkGS
Expe riment In Decorations to BE
Made ~ the B!centcnnial.


The decorations of private houses in
New Haven for the Yale b~icentennial
celebration vii! be Of interest because
they involve All experiment, says the
New York Sun. Louis G. Tiffany OF
New York has prepared a general
scheme Of decoration. and II citizens
generally follow 1t the result Will be a
test Of the effectiveness Of uniform
treatment Of house fronts In public cei-
e~brations. The general plan la thus set
forth:
1.-THE leading materials FOR decoration
should be evergreen and blue flags. The
motif Of each house should be bands OF
green running across the face OF II on
q level above the first row Of windows,
but not higher. and emphasizing, gener-
ally speaking. the entrance to the build
ing or some conspicuous place on the
house front by massing with the same
evergreens and surmounting with the
flags.
"The flags recommended to be dis
played from every window at a uni
form angle Of about 80 degrees should
be triangular in shape, with or with
out a white y OH them. SUCH flags
can be secured in large numbers at a
very low price and displayed from
metal sockets, the cost Of which Is In
significant. These sockets should be
| nailed to the side Of the window cas-
Ing at a uniform height. The ever
green's should preferably be Of hem
lock or laurel. but any other evergreen
may be used. Such e%vergreens can
| easily he massed in horizontal bands or
on the upright pillars which form the
| porticos Of 80 many New Haven resi-
| dences either by fastening on with
cords or fastening into wire netting
or wooden latticework.
1.-THE scheme is simple, but extreme
~ effective, especially II neighborine
| houses maintain the same horizontal
lines in their decoration. Owners OF
| houses who wish to make a more ex'
tensive display are advised to have
further horizontal bands binding the
building and If desired a similar treat
ment under the cornice line, the I'm
portant motif being always to mass
the green and blue.
"For the illumination at night row
of japanese lanterns, preferably vel
low, orange or green, hung closely to
gether in fiat festoons or, still better
in horizontal lines are extremely eff
fective. Their brilliancy is greatly en-
HANGED by placing an electric incan
