Jurrens is said TO have taken few
moments of his abundant leisure to In.

inspectors say that Jurrens informed
the Kansas man that he needed Just
$3.50 to make possible a profitable In

had read OF the prosperity OF Denver,

mentioned, were certain to yield

draft for $3.50.
But Mr.. West took Erecaution. He
did not desire to be left without re-

payable to Jurrens he made 1t payable
TO that young man and a woman ac.

coLoMBIAS MISTAKE

Colombia passed by a golden oppor-
tunity in turning down the canal treaty
a few months ago. Some shortsighted
statesman or rather grasping politi-
clans thought they saw an opportunity
to force an issue with the United
Stats and secure greater gains than
would accrue from a straight business
proposition.
The United States under the treaty
rejected by Colombia was pledged TO
spend $2O0,OoO.OOO in building and
maintaining a canal across the 18TH
mus. They rejected this offer FOR
mere bubble not realizing the temper
of the times in the Panama territory
nor the needs of the civilized world on
the canal question.

MONEY IN CIRCULATION

The per capita circulation according
TO statement published by the treas
ury department on November l. was
$3.50. There was in circulation that
day $2,427, 394,S6S and the estimated
population is SO.946.OOO giving a per-
capita circulation of practically $50.
This is said to be the largest amount
of money in stock or in circulation ever
held in the United States and the larg-
est per capita since the government
began.
Here is a substantial basis for the
statement that this is an era of general
prosperity Never in the history of
the nation has there been so much
wealth in the aggregate nor so much in
circulation per capita. Labor has never
been so generally employed nor have
wages been higher or hours of labor
lighter.
Business and industrial conditions
are at high tide in the republic and
there are at present no indivations that
this wave of prosperity has begun to
recede. Especially is this true in the
west, where the country is now and

STATE PRESS OPINIONS
From the Moscow Star:

From the Moscow Star:
1t seems to be practically settled now
that the Columbia river will be so i'm
proved as to be made navigable to the
sea. The war department has approved
plans and ordered the beginning of
work as son as the government is given
right of way and title to the lands to be
traversed by the proposed improve
ments. This ought not to take much
time, although in the case of the o.
r. & N. right of way, where it con-
fiicts with the proposed improvements,
condemnation proceedings will prob
ably be necessary. The benefits of the
open river will be felt throughout the
Inland Empire for the reason that a
net work of electric lines will be con-
structed to transport the products of
our praires to the rivers banks, where
they can go on to tide water at a
small percentage of the charge now ex-
acted by the railroads. The open
river, once an accomplished fact, will
be worth each year to the country trib-
utary to it all that it will cost the gov
eminent to provide it.

From the Wallace Press:


Senator Hepburn is now at Wash
ington and press reports state that he
is received with special favor by the
administration. The difference between
his actions and those of the democra-
ic-populistic senator, Fred Dubois, is
most marked. Hepburn is exerting
himself for the betterment of the state,
while Dubois sulks and does nothing
but hatch schemes which he believes
may render him some political thunder.
He spent several months in planning
an attack on Senator Smoot of Utah.
and considered he would have great
coup when he had prevented him from
being seated. His plans, which he be-
lieved had been arranged with great
strategy, were cast aside in moment
when the senatorial committee an
nounced that Smoot would be seated
Dubois is a dead cock in the political
pit and none realize the fact more
clearly than he.

The Sun Makes Rooms Dustx

There is more dust in the places il
lumlnated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady.
If you look along a beam of light as
1t streams through a window or a chink
IN the door, you will see innumerable
dust particles dancing about in the
light. You will be told by most per-
sons that there is just as much dust in
the nonilluminated parts of the room
as in the more favored spaces, but you
cannot see the particles because the
rays do not fall directly upon them.
You will think that this is eminently
plausible, but it is not the case.
The sun falling upon the air creates
irregular currents, and these currents
stir up the dust and collect it in lay
ers along the line of light; hence there
IS more dust where the sun shines than
elsewhere.
a curious experience in a museum
gave proof of this. 1t was noticed that
there was always more dust on the
glass cases exposed to the sunbeams
than on those which were never touch
ed by the rays of the great orb, and
THIS led to an inquiry, with the above
result.
1t will generally be found that it
takes longer to clean the sunny parts
OF a large room than it does to wipe
up the dust particles from the shady
