blowing. A few days ago he was

watch. It was in perfect condition,

sion between our protected interests
and the expansion sentiment may
have very interesting consequences.
One other thought in this connec..
ton is important. Many people ar
que that it is not worth while to dis
eriminate in favor of the beet sugar
interest because it is so insignificant.
They hold that it is not established
and that it has small prospect of ever
being established. Their theory Is
that protection should be granted
only in cases where new industry
can be Created within reasonable
time. On the other hand, we are now
told that the manufacture of beet
sugar is already ga commercial sue
cess in the United States" And from
this the conclusion Is drawn that we
must protect it. OF course, we UNDER
stand that the theory is that an in
dustry may not be established strong

when the men engaged in protected
industry will admit that it is estab-

that it ought to be protected because
it is established! We shall look for

A few weeks ago some schoolboys in
the District of Columbia went out to
"play soldier" with toy guns. One OF
the number carried real gun, which
his parents had been foolish enough to
give him. The youthful captain of the
company told him he need not go with
the party unless he would refrain
from loading the weapon. But he
thought it great joke to load it on
the sly, believing that he would be
Sufficiently cautious in its use. An
other boy who supposed that the cap
tain's orders had been respected, tried
to be sly, too, with the result that the
gun went off. A bullet passed through
the jaw of an innocent member of the
party, who had to be taken to the hos
pital, where for days his life hung in
the balance. His mother was at the
time nervous invalid, and he was her
only child. Consequently it was found
necessary to keep from her al knowl-
edge of the sad affair. Since this is a
true story, its repetition will be justi-
fed if it's lessons convey "still another
warning"

Big Thing for Eastern Or son.

William Pollman and a number of
other Baker City men have filed on
the waters of Rock creek, and have
announced their intention to estab-
lish power system for the genera
ton and transmission of electric pow
or to this city. 1t will be necessary
to construct ditch about three miles
long, to convey the water to the site
OF the power-house, where a fall of
several hundred feet can be obtained.
From the power-house, which will be
located several miles from the city,
the electric current will be. transmit
ted by means of copper wire to this
city to run mills and factories and
light the city. The company, which is
to be formed by Mr.. Pollman and his
associates, will expend about $4,000
on the power plant. 1t expects to
have from 1000 to 5000 horsepower to
distribute. This will be all the power
that will be required in Baker City
and vicinity for several years. The
work OF building the plant will be
started as soon as the arrangements
for the necessary material can be
made. This Is very important mat
ter for Baker City and all of Eastern
Oregon.

Gigantic Steel Mill at Everett

There is no longer any reason to
doubt the report given out nearly two
years ago that a gigantic steel and
iron mill company was in state OF
formation to build mill on Puget
Sound. Since that time the coke and
coal mines at Hamilton, Wash, near
Everett, have come under the control
of President Hill, of the Great North
ern, and further and exhaustive pros
pecting on Hamilton and Texacla
islands prove them to be literally sup
piled with ore. Railroad and street
car building in addition to the num-
erous trolley line projects has rem,
dered an enterprise OF this kind an
absolute necessity. A plant to meet
all the demands sure to be made up
on it will have to be big one, the
estimate running up to as high as
$18,000,000. 1t will in all probability
be erected at Everett, or in that i'm
mediate vicinity.

his wheat and finds that he has
total of $4,000 bushels of wheat for

crop averaged 35 bushels to the acre.
He had about 1000 acres of wheat, the
remainder of his land being in oats
or other crops. He has figured all
expenses OF the crop just harvested
and finds that his wheat cost him
an average of % cents per bushel
placed In the warehouse. He sold
$4,000 bushels before the beginning
OF the harvest for 451a cents per
bushel. Wheat Is now worth 10 cents
per bushel, and If 1t were all sold at
the present prices Mr.. McCroskey
would net II cents per bushel, or
$685. per acre from this single crop.
But adding the amount sold at As

age, IL the remainder were sold at
present prices, $6.87 per acre net

total net profit on this crop of wheat

Why They Don't Have Gout.

A writer says that typical Southern
ers very rarely have govt in their low
er extremities. and he explains his
statement as follows: "The moment
one sits down he looks about for some
object upon which to elevate his feet,
usually resting them on a chair or VIM
dow sill If indoors or the balustrade IL
on the porch or piazza Now, the loca-
ton Of govt being simply a question of
specific gravity, 1t does not descend to
the feet because of this habitual eleva-
ton. If it should get there it would
be obliged to climb. The smallness Of
the Southern foot Is accounted for in
the same way-that is, of course, the
Southern mans foot. The women never
elevate. Englishmen have whopping
big feet, which they keep plastered
down on the ground or floor at all
times, as If afraid of letting something
get away from them. They have govt
in their feet in consequence" New

AS Fl. NJ. S. Rlngdove was cruising

that the British flag was not flying. An

The chief did not, according to a Brit
ish Columbia paper, waste words in re-
plying. He summoned his favorlte
wife. and when she appeared, pointed
to her. She was clothed from head to
foot in the missing Union Jack, the flag
having been cut and fashioned into a
loose-ftting blouse and skirt.
This, of course, does not settle the
question whether trade follows the flag
or the flag follows trade in the cannon
covered advance of empire, but 1t does
prove conclusiyely that the ladies of the

ilization, will not need to take lessons Of
