CRANBERRY FLOWERS.
Which But Few of Us Are
FamiliAs.

One OF the daintiest of wild flowers
of June is the blossom of that time
honored concomitant of roast turkey,
the cranberry. While, however, ev-
erybody knows the berry, few are ac-
quainted with the flower, for the peat
boys where 1t blows In the choice fell
lowshtp of the stately pitcher plant
and the golden club, and of many a
rare orchid, are quite remote from
the beaten paths OF travel, says. Coun-
try Life in America.
The cranberry plant is a small,
slender, somewhat trailing shrub,
with the neatest Of evergreen leaves,
from amid which a few threadlike
stalks lift their nodding flowers.
When fully expanded the pink lobes
of each corolla are curled back like q
lily's, and from the heart OF them
the compressed stamens protrude in
the shape OF q spear-point or beak.
The imaginative may see in this long
beaked little blossom q resemblance
to tiny cranes head, whence some
hard-pressed etymologist has, thought
to derive the word cranberry-that
is, crane-berry.
Those who like to make a place on
the home table for oddities and rari-
ties of the plant world may well in
clude in their list for June o few

Empress Josephine, it also produced

the son of retired French officer by

The month of February, 1856, was in

lnordinate Profits OF the Protect
ed Steel Trust.

In commenting on the net earnings
Of the steel trust, which came to more
than sixty-four millions in the last
six.months, one OF, the western republi-
can representatives said to Walter
Wellman:
This means that we have got to re-
wise the tariff. The American people
know that the average protection on
the product Of the steel trust is near
ly 40 per cent. They know that on
account of this protection there is no
foreign competition in our market.
They know that the price of iron and
steel are from 25 to SO per cent higher
than they should be, and that these
prices, which enable the trust to roll
up such enormous profits, are made
possible by the high tariff. In other
words, the steel trust is taking out Of
other industries 500, 1000, 900 or $50, OOo,-
900 year more than it is fairly en-
Titled to and more than it could take
did not the federal government bar
out legitimate competition. This is
using a government of the people to
rob the people, and here is the ques-
tion which the republican people have
to face. The sooner we make up our
minds to it the better it will be for
the party.
| The conclusion is sound one, which
is made the more convincing by the
consideration of certain other facts
and figures, This tariff-bred trust
was capitalized at approximately 81,
| 80, 200, 600, and as the earnings for siz
months were exactly 1854, 407, 1853 twill
be observed that the returns on thu
investment are apparently about II
per cent. But good authorities say
! that from one-half to four-sevenths O
the stock is water. The actual re turf
therefore exceeds 20 per cent, part O
which is in the nature of public
bounty to men whose fortunes art
|estimated by tens and hundreds o.
millions.
The situation is intolerable, and i

trihe with it, to gloze it over, to rest
! content with panegyries on republi.
canism and prosperity while the rob
berry by the tariff-bred trusts contin,
ues there will be enough indignant
republicans to turn the balance Of
political power in favor of the demo
lcrats. They may do so reluctantly
| but the kind of protect ton that il at
tforded by certain schedules of th,
present tariff law will make then

of such an outrage ecord-H Herald.

DoUBTEs HIS WORD.
Congressman SuIzer Likens
President Roosevelt to
jekyll and Hyde.

Washington, July 21.-Representa-
tive Sulzer, of New York, when asked
what he thought of President Roose-
velts proposition to have the next
congress take some action regarding
trusts, said:
President Roosevelt Is no better
than his party and everybody that can
distinguish the difference between a
hawk and handSaw knows that the
criminal trusts of the country domin.
ate and own the republican party, and
that SO long as the republican party is
in power the trusts will prosper and
flourish like green bay tree and con.
tinue to rob all the people, all the
time, for the benefit of o few multi
millionafres and han dozen pluto
Gratis.
"The honest people of the country
are disappointed in Mr.. Roosevelt.
They believed he had moral courage
and would enforce the law against
the rich as well as the poor. Since he
became president he has been disap-
pointment.
HE talks all right, but he doesn't
do anything. Ii he had moral courage
he would compel his attorney-geA era.

eff the antitrust laws at present on
Abe statute book of the country were
enforced, vigorously enforced, there
could not be trust in the country.
Every lawyer knows this. The presi-
dent, however, with virtuous indigna-

trusts, and privately talks another
way to the agents Of the trusts. The.

weak in performance. An ounce OF
performance is worth a ton Of promise.
In his annual message to congress last
December he arraigned the trusts and
demanded publicity in regard to their
affairs, but he didnothing.
IF you will read the antitrust ACT
Of 1900 and the decisions of the United
States supreme court in the trans
Missouri freight case and the Addys
ton pipe line case the conclusion will
be irresistible to the logical mind tina
the fault is not SO much with the Law
as it is with the men who are sworn
to enforce the law. So far as it goe
it is all right-the do-nothing attorn

| There are great many people who
do not think much OF the farm as q
summer resort. They prefer the NOUN

where there is more intensity of inter

son of rest some place where it is cas-
Ter to become poverty-stricken and
harder to and time to sleep. In short,
they do not regard the farm us n sue
cessful summer resort because they do
not think it affords enough excitement.

do the farm an injustice, We remem-

in evading us just-as we had begun to

of three-story apple tree, became
fast and were unable to return to earth
until p. III. At 3 p. m. we obligingly
let down the pasture bars and allowed

to try to hold a robust calf by the tai
out in the barnyard. We did not think

surprised, therefore, when we found
ourselves able to hold the calf not only
in the barnyard, but down the lane

WILLIAMS CELEBRATED
The Fourth in an Appropriate Manner
 Many Present

Thursday evening the festivities incident to the celebration of our nations birth were most appropri- ately opened by an elegant ball, given at the opera house under the auspices of Mesdames F. w. Smith, A. D. Adams, G. U. Young, Jose phine Arkills and Misses Lindsey and Mcintyre. The hall was most beautifully decorated. and too much praise cannot be given the ladies for their efforts. The house was crowded and for those who did not care to indulge in the pastime of dancing, progressive card games were provided Delicious ices were served and all enjoyed the even ing's pleasures greatly.
 Owing to the short time for pre- paration a large crowd was hardly expected to be present in Williams on the Fourth, but our citizens were most agreeably surprised, as the number of visitors ran into the hundreds.
 The outdoor sports began at 10 a-m- with an egg race, in which Rain-in-the-Face,a a Havasupai In- dian, won first money, S2.5O; Big Foot taking second, $2.
 In the wheelbarrow race Snake River carried off first money, S2.5O; Mosquito and Rumble Bee dividing the honors for second. $2.
 The one legged race purse of S2 was divided between Ray Vanzandt and Fred Ranney.
 At the rife shoot T. c. Simmons won first money, S6; Dr. Melick second, s4- Olaf Preysz, for best single shot score, received 8.
 At pm. Mrs. J. c. Phelan won first shotgun prize, S6; J. c. Phelan second, S4; Dr. Melick third, 8.
