EVERYBODY Can't Do Everything

We can't paint a picture. or carve !
statue. or make a coat, but we can
wash clothes to perfection We can do
it because we do nothing else-have
done nothing else for good while-b ;
cause we have studied it, and thought
about it, and worked hard as any
painter ever. did. 1t requires as much
hard work, and practice, and talent, to
make good laundry as to make a good
picture. Everybody can't paint a pic
ture-everybody can't wash clothes per-
fectly. We want you to give us fair
trial. and allow us to prove our word

During the past week the CRANKY
smelter treated 1912 tons of ore.
The Lardeau country is more active
now than it has been for long time.
The cabled returns for the LIE Roi
mines operatives in September give
estimated profits of $4,000
The Mother Lode mine near Phoenix,
made the record shipment of its history
last week, it amounted 70 49, 1853 tons.
The outlook for the mines ON st.
Thomas mountain is very encouraging.
Much ore has been uncovered in large
quantities at different places.
In the future the B. @. mine, in
Summit camp will ship its entire out
put to Grand Forks for treatment.
That will be at the rate of 800 tons
monthly.
The Deserter mine, near Kaslo, Oper-
ated by the Trail smelter, is to close
down shortly and the smelter will OBJ
tain its supply of lime fux from other
sources, presumably from the vicinity
of Cascade.
The Rossland Giant mine may ship
its ores to the Crofton smelter ON the
coast. Negotiations are now pending
between Manager @. H. Macintosh of
the Giant and the Crofton smelter for
the shippi ng of the Giant ore to the
coast, as the character of the ore is
what is needed at that smelter.
James H. Moran of New Denver, has
bonded for $685. the West Fork
group in Thunder Hill camp, on the
head waters of the North Fork, hun

Panama Canal Title.

Washington, d. C.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox has decided that if the Uni
ted States should accept the offer of the
New Panama Canal company SUBJ
mitted last spring for the sale Of the
canal for $40, 900, 900 it would receive,
through the parties in interest, valid
and unincumbered title to the property.
This decision was arrived at after a
thorough and exhaustive investigation
of the situation in Paris, first by spec
ial Attorney Charles w. Russell and
later by the attorney general himself.
The attorney general has formerly
submitted the opinion to President
Roosevelt. 1t makes about 300 pages.
The following is a synopsis:
The attorney generals opinion to the
president on the title which the New
Panama Canal company of France
offers to the United States, its rights
and property on the isthmus of Pana-
ma, opens with history of the conces-
sions made by Columbia in 1880,
ETC., the formation of the De Lesseps
Panama Canal company of France, the
failure of this company in 1888, the
transfer in 1894 of all its rights to the
present Panama Canal company of
France by the liquidator appointed by
the French courts to wind up the
affairs of the old company and of the
laws passed by France concerning the
liquidation of the old.
The opinion takes up the objections
which have been made in this country
to the title proposed to be given to the
United States. These objections, it
says, resolve themselves into arguments
in support of the following PROPOSE
tions:
First-That the new Panama Canal
company has no power to sell the canal
and railroad property.
Second-That the liquidator of the
old Panama Canal company has not
power to consent to such sale.
Third-That the French courts have
no power to authorize the liquidato1
and the new company, or either OF
them, to enter into the sale.
Fourth-That at all events the United
States would take the property as a
trust fund, subject to the total obliga-
lions to the stock holders, the bond
holders and other creditors of both
companies.
The history and nature of French
mpanies of the kind in question are
explained at length. They are said
to be all together different from oui
corporations, but to be easily under.

q TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report on trade last week
is as follows:
Favorable features still dominate the
trade and industrial situation. Some
reduction in the demand for fall and
winter goods at wholesale is noted, out
it is shown at the same time that the
completed business in dry goods, cloth
ing, shoes hats, millinery and host of
other lines is in excess of 1901 and pre-
ceding years.
Business on next springs account
tends rather to expand and a similar
tendency is noted in retail bushes, S
particularly at the east, where the
fear of a coal famine has been remov-
ed by the actual resumption of work.
1t is true that in the northwest trade is
not meeting anticipatiOns, possibly be-
cause of warmer weather, but partially
because the farming element is busily
engaged in crop work. The lumber
business, while naturally noting some
quoting of business on the advance of
the season, is still of good volumne,
where weather conditions permit of the
carrying out of orders Demand for
building materials continues active.
In the lumber production regions
strength is the main feature. The
southern lumber trade reports unusual
activity.

Parrots and toucans have no knives
and forks to cut off the rinds of tropical
fruits; but as monkeys use their fingers,
so the birds use for the same purpose
their sharp and powerful bills. No
better nutcrackers and fruit parers
could possibly be found. The parrot in
particular has developed for the pur-
pose his curved and inflated beak-a
wonderful weapon. keen as a tailOr's
scissors and moved by powerful mus
cles on either side of the face which
bring together the cutting edges with
extraordinary energy.
The way the bird holds a fruit gin
gerly in one claw, while he strips of
the rind dexterously with his under
hung lower mandible and keeps a
sharp lookout meanwhile on either
side with those sly and stealthy eyes
of his for a possible intruder suggests
to the observing mind the whole living
drama of his native forest One sees
in that vivid world the watchful mon
key ever ready to swoop down upon
the tempting tail feathers of his heredi-
tary foe; one sees the .canny parrot ever
prepared for his rapid attack and ever
eager to make him pay with five joints
of his tail for his impertinent interfer-
ence with an unoffending fellow citizen
Of the arbOreal community.

Loreaa.


The years roll slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again;
The suns low down the sky, Lorena,
The frost CLEANS where the flowers
have BEEN
But the heart beats on as warmly now
AS when the summer days were nigh;
The sun will never dip so low
Adown affections clOudless sky.
An hundred months have passed, Lorena,
Since last l clasped your hand in mine,
And felt your pulse beat fast, Lorena,
But mine beat faster, far, than thine!
An hundred months-'twas hOw'ring May
When up the hilly slope we'd climb
To watch the dying of the day
And hear the village church bells chime
We loved each other then, Lorena,
More than we ever dared to tell;
And what might we have been, Lorena,
Had but our loving prospered well.
But all is past, those years are flown.
I'll not call back their shadowy forms;
I'll say to those lost years, sleep on
Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms.
We've passed youths golden glow, Lo-
rena,
Those days are with the eternal past;
Our heads will soon lie low. Lorena.
LIES tide is ebbing out so fast;
But there's a future-oh, thank God,
or life this is so small a part!
IT'S dust to dust beneath the sod,
But there, up there, it's heart to heart!

OLD
FAvORITES
Nellie Gray.


There's a low green valley on the old
Kentucky shore,
There I've whiled many happy hours
away,
A-sitting and a-singing by the little cot
tage door,
Where lived my darling Nellie Gray.
Chorus:
Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have
taken you away,
And I'll never see my darling any more;
I'm sitting by the river, and I'm weeping
all the day,
For you've gone from the old Kentucky
shore.
When the moon had cimbd the noun
tain and the stars were shining, too,
Then I'd take my darling Nelly Gray,
And we'd float down the river in the little
red canoe,
While my banjo sweetly l would play.
One night l went to see her, but "she's
gone," the neighbors say,
The white man bound her with his
chain;
They have taken her to Georgia, for to
wear her life away,
AS she tolls in the cotton and the cane.
My canoe is under water and my banjo
is unstrung,
I'm tired of living any more;
My eyes shall look downward, and my
song shall be unsung,
While l stay on the old Kentucky
shore.
My eyes are getting blinded, and 1 cannot
see my way
Hank! there's somebody knocking at
the door;
Oh! hear the angels calling, and see
my Nelly Gray;
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.
Oh! my darling Nelly Gray, up in heaven,
there, they say,
That they'll never take you from me
any more;
I'm a-coming, coming, coming, as the
angels clear the way;
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore!
- - Handy.

THREE ENGINES WRECKED
IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. FIRE
MAN SEARS KILLED.
The Terrible Accident Happened on
Main Line of Northern Pacific in
Idaho Say the Operator
at Standpoint Was Asleep-Trains Met
on a Sharp Curve.

Missoula, Mont, Oct. 27.-Fireman
Thomas P. Sears is dead, Engineer A.
l.. Bussey probably fatally injured,
three engines demolished to junk and
freight train well nigh destroyed by
head on collision on the Northern
Pacific.
1t is charged by the trainmcn that a
sleepy operator or faulty despatching
caused the wreck
An engine, running light, collided
head on with an extra freight train
drawn by two mountain engines.
Fireman Thomas p. Sears, with the
advance freight train locomotive, was
buried beneath the wreckage of three
locomotives and a score of freitgh cars
and was instantly killed, and his en-
gineer, A. Bussey, was so seriously in
jured that he will die. Bussey was
brought to the company hospital here,
scalded about the chest No others
were injured.
The wreck occurred just before 5
O'Clock in the morning at a point east
of Pack river and where the line makes
several curves. Three engines were
demolished to junk and long string
of cars smashed beyond hope of repair
Trainmen ascribe the cause of the
wreck to faulty despatching, or the
fact that the operator at Standpoint, as
they say, was asleep when the light
engine passed his station. They bring
to Missoula the story that the Standpoint
operator, when asked if an engine had
passed for the east, informed the
Missoula dispatcher that he had been
asleep and could not answer positively
but thought it had not. With this in
formation, it is said, the dispatcher
replied with an order for the train to
meet at Odin siding, between Standpoint
and where the wreck occurred.
1t is thought that this order was
never delivered.
The light enigne was in service as a
helper, being in charge of Engineer
Wilkinson.
Engineer Bussey escaped instant
death by being thrown several feet III
his cab, which in dropping alighted on
his chest, the fireman being crushed
beneath the wreckage.
