History of . Trade Mark.

A trade mark to many may seem q
small, trivial thing, and many trade
mark is a small thing. With the well
known trade mark Of the Northern Pa
cifc railroad there is much history
that is valuable and Interesting How
many readers know that the origin of
this trade mark dates back more than
5000 years before the Christian era,
and is one of the mysteries of ancient
Chinese philosophy? Yet such is the
fact. The idea first occurred to Mr..
Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger agent
of the Northern Pacific while attend
ing the Worlds Fair in Chicago. The
emblem on the Korean flag attracted
his attention as suitable foundation
for trade mark and it was adopted.
Subsequent researches developed it's
antiquity. The Northern Pacific Rail-
way has issued a booklet entitled "a
History of a Trade Mark" a chapter
of 'Wonderland 1907 giving full
account of the adoption and origin of
the symbol. 1t is handsomely illus
trated in colors, rich in ancient re-
search and exceedingly interesting. 1t
is free to all for the postage, which is
only cents, and can be had upon ap-
plication to Chas. s. Fee, G. F. & T. A.,
St. Paul, MINI.

. RAINS HELPsLATE CORN.
Government Report Regarding the
Condition OF Crops in Various
Z -, Parts of the Country:

Washington, July 31.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
Intense heat prevailed during the greater
part of the week throughout the central
valleys, but the temperatures during the
last three days were more moderate. Good
rains have fallen over a large part OF the
drought area in the Mississippi and upper
Missouri valleys, but drought conditions
nave become more serious in the Ohio val
ley and Tennessee, where the week has
been rainless. except in a few localities.
In the Atlantic coast districts the weather
conditions have been generally favorable,
except over portions Of the Carolinas and
Virginia, where rain is now needed. The
conditions were also favorable on the Pa
cific coast
Recent rains have improved late corn in
portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Missouri, but the early crop was prac-
ticaly ruined before the rains came. In
Iowa the crop has sustained less injury
than in the aforementioned states, and
the rainfall has been copious and we'll dis
tributed. In the great corn states east: of
the Mississippi river, except over northern
Illinois, drought and excessive heat have
continued with disastrous effects upon
corn, which is now in critical condition.
In Michigan and generally throughout the
middle Atlantic states and New. England
the corn crop IS IN nne condition.
Winter wheat harvest is general on the
North Pacific coast with good yields.
Harvesting of spring wheat Is we'll ad-
vanced over the southern portion of the
spring wheat region, and has begun in the
southern Red river valley. Premature rip
ening has reduced the yield and quality of
the crop over: the southern portion of the
spring wheat region, although the thresh-
ing returns show better yields In Iowa
than were anticipated. In North Dakota
and northern Minnesota the crop has sus-
tanned but little injury from heat.
Oat harvest continues in the more north
erly sections, having been delayed by rains
In Michigan. Reports of premature !ripen-
ing continue from the upper Missouri VAL
ley. A light crop is indicated in the middle
Atlantic states.
The condition of cotton over the greater
part of the cotton belt is improved, good
growth and clean fields being generally re-
ported. In Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee
and central Texas, however, the crop con-
tinues to need rain, and shedding and
blooming at top in these states are ex-
tensively reported.
In the Ohio valley and Tennessee, tobac-
co continues to suffer from drought, but in
Kentucky and Tennessee has withstood
the uHfaVorable conditions well. In New
England and the middle and South8Atlan-
TIC states the crop has made good growth
Cutting and curing continue in the Caro-
llnas under favorable conditions.
The apple crop in the central valleys has
been further injured by drought and heat,
ard very light crop is indicated in the
middle Atlantic states and New England.

$ DRAWING BEGINS.
Great Government Land Lottery
COmmencese Mt Ell FenO, Okla.-:.
Some Lucky Winners.3

Ell Reno. Okla, July 3O.-Okla-
homa's great land lottery was " be-
gun here in earnest Monday. and
when the commissioners appointed
by: the federal government adjourned
the drawing for the day 1000 OF the
choicest of the $4,000 160-acre claims
in the Kiowa-Comanche country had
been awarded. The first name drawn
from the wheels was that of Stephen
A. Ho]comb. of Paul's Valley, I. T.,
for homestead in the Ell Reno dis
trict, and the second Leonard Lamb,
of Augusta, Okla. These two men Sc
lected the two choicest claims i'll
this district.
The capital prize winners, how
ever, proved to be James K. Wood,
of Weatherford, Okla, whose name
was the first to come from the Law
ton district wheel, and Miss Matte
H. Beals, of Wichita. Kan, who drew
the second number in that district.
They will have the privilege of max
ing the first filings in the Lawton
district, and will undoubtedly choose
the two quarter-sections adjoining
that town. These are considered the
two most. valuable in the territory,
and are. it is estimated, worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 each.
The day was one of keen excite
ment, replete with interesting scenes.
It is estimated that fully $4,000 per-
sons witnessed the drawing.
The crowds fairly exhausted them
selves, and when the close of the
drawing for the day was announced
at six o'clock. hundreds who had
neither eaten nor drank during the
day, sank to the ground where they
stood from sheer fatigue or dragged
themselves to better places of rest or
to refreshment booths uptown. The
| day was remarkably free from quar-
rels, and general satisfaction with
the governments method of d:spos-
ing of the land was felt.
It has been found that many hun
dred applicants have repeated" and
that others have applications so IL
| legible that they will be thrown out.
Over this much discord has resulted,
and the outcome may be an appeal to
! the courts.

Chicago, Aug. Five highwaymen
Wearing black. masks and heavily
armed held up the New York and
Washington ]imited train, west bound,
ON thc.*Baltimore &,EOhio railroad at
z: Is o'clock, Wednesday,: night at a
point one mile,north of the grounds of
the Calumet Gun club, near Miller's
Station, Ind, and after intimida ting
the members of the train crew and
passengers with shots compelled the
engineer to uncouple~ the engine and
two mail cars from the train. Then
at the point of a revolver the engine
men were forced to run the uncoupled
section to lonesome spot in the
swamp, three-quarters of a mile away,
where the storage mail car which the
bandits had evidently mistaken for
the express car was shattered with
dynamite. Two sticks of the power
full explosive were thrown. into the
car, SCATTERING every window and tear
ing away a portion of the woodwork.
Immediately after the explosion one
of the bandits jumped into the car,
expecting to again use the dynamite
on the strong boxes of the United
States Express company. He saw the
mistake that had been made, and, Civ
ing the signal to his companions, all
ran toward Lake Calumet and es-
capped.
If the robbers had cut off three
cars, instead Of two and taken them
forward to be dynamited at leisure
they would have secured $4,000 by
their bold exploit. The express car
from which the fireman uncoupled
the two front cars it is estimated
contained that amount of money in
consignment. Express Messenger
Stacle, with a Winchester rife across
his knee, sat in his car during the
whole excitement. He did not come
out until the train pulled into the
Grand Central station, Chicago.
During the time the bandit was
searching the car the other two rob-
bers guarding the trainmen robbed
the engineer of his watch. This is the
only booty secured by the robbers, as
the two men left with the main Sec
tion of the train simply amused
themselves intimidating the passen-
gers and made no attempt to rob
sthem. >S%> =;

BUSINESS TIED UP.
Many ORGANIZATIONS, Inaugurates
a Strike at San FranciscO.

oIA IL uACloCO, Ou4y o4' AAO AAOOA
trouble in this city reached a crisis
Tuesday, and as a result maritime
traffic and labor alongshire are al
most at standstill, and industries
almost totally paralyzed. The order
for general walkout of the City
Front Federation was made effective
Tuesday morning. The City. Front
Federation comprises IA unions and
organiza tions,> with full member
ship of about $4,000. Three thousand
OF these men are employed at sea
or in other cities, and the strike Or
der does not apply to them until
they return to San Francisco. Twelve
thousand men obeyed the order Tues
day. The City Front Federation is
composed of the following organiza-
tons: Sailors Union of the Pacific,
four local unions of longshoremen,
marine firemen, Brotherhood of
Transfers, ship and steamboat join
ship clerks, pile drivers and bridge
builders, hosting engineers, steam
and hot water filters and coal team
sters.
1t is claimed by the officers of all
the organiza tions ~involved, it is said,
that the strike is not purely an express
sion of sympathy with the union of
transfers or any other body of work
ers WHO are IN dispute with tL~ii en-
ployers, but it is taking up of the
gauntlet thrown down by the Employ
ers' association: In other words, the
City Front federation is determined
to defend the principle of unionism
which the associated employers have
announced their intention to crush.
