That night about o'clock carriage drove
up to one Of the new houses and the ''brid-

first new house you come to- a man said
to the hackman as he approached the row.
The direction was wrong. of course, but 1t
was DIRK and the welded pair were not
familiar enough with their own home to
recognize it. They tripped up the steps
Of the wrong house and inserted the key
in the door. OF course it wouldn't work
but it aroused the woman of the house
sleeping upstairs. She came down, opened
the door and stream of light fell on the
blushing face of the young bride. Her con-
fusion was tremendous when she found
they had got into the wrong house.
Wasn't that lowdown trick?" she said
to her new husband as they came down
the steps, realizing that some one had put
up a job on them. Half the children on
the street had gathered in crowd and of
course shrieked with merriment at the
discomforture of the young couple.

Big Ledge OF Jade.
New York Evening Post.


A mineral discovery Of considerable i'm
portance is reported to have been made on
Indian creek, near the Grants Pass-Crescent
City stage road and just south of the Ore
alifornia line. The discovery consists
in the uncovering of a siX-foot ledge of jade.
the sacred stone of the Chinese A quantity
of specimens of the mineral were brought
into Grants Pass recently from the scene of
the strike and are announced by mineralo-
gists to be first-rate in quality. This is the
first time jade has been discovered in stu
on the North American continent. For a
number of years past fragments of float
jade have been picked up in the Indian
creek and Althouse districts. on the Oregon
California line. but the peculiar green-col-
ored stone was unfamiliar to, the miners Of
the district. The float fragments were later
examined by mineralogist and the discov-
cry made that they were jade. search re-
suited in a ledge of the mineral being found
on Indian creek. A number of claims have
been located and a considerable rush has
been created to the district through the dis
covery of the rare stone. Jade Is one of the
first discovered minerals. 1t was much used
in prehistoric times for weapons and uten-
sils. and was highly priced. especially in the
Orient. for ornamental carvings, rings,
bracelets. vases. etc. 1t is a tough, compact
stone, varying in color from a pure white to
a dark or pale green. Its extreme toughness
makes II difficult to secure drills of suffi-
cient hardness to work the stone. The best
drills are blunted on jade in a short time.

among the great industries of the United
States. 1t has, in my judgment, done more
to develop this country than any other pri-
vate enterprise except the railroads, and
the rapid growth of the latter would in
many cases have been impossible without
the parallel development of numbering. But
in numbering, as in all other great private
industries, the necessity for care is not
seen until the harm has been done and un-
til the results of it are bitterly felt. We
have reached the point now when We are
often unable to supply the enormous de-
mands for lumber which we have fostered.
We must look to the production of a Sec
ond crop upon numbered lands prepare
to stop numbering when the first crop is
gone. In the old days it was easy to lum-
Der one forest and then to turn to another.
To-day, however. we cannot count upon
new fields to turn to. We must make the
best of what we have, and wherever 1t pays
we must lumber conservatively.
Practically forestry means conservative
numbering The question whether conserv-
alive numbering pays depends upon whether
the value of the second crop upon numbered
land is sufficient to make it a profitable en-
terprise to foster and protect it, and in
many cases the time has already come
when practical forestry is a good business
investment for lumbermen. We have re-
ceived a good deal of abuse for what has
been called our vandalsm-abuse which
was unreasonable and which was not &C
companied by pertinent suggestions for re-
form, but now the Bureau Of Forestry OF
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture puts the question of conservative lum-
bering in a way which makes it worthy the
attention of lumbermen. 1t is the attitude
of this bureau. that forestry and numbering
are allies, not enemies, and that the inter-
ests of one depend directly upon those OF
the other. The bureau does not claim that
forestry is the panacea for every lumber
mans troubles, nor that it is now appli-
cable to every timber tract in this country.
1t simply holds itself in readiness to assist
lumbermen in applying practical forestry
to their holdings in those cases in which 1t
is evident that conservative numbering will
pay The Bureau of Forestry does not
deal with forest problems merely in gen.
eral way. 1t gives each timber tract upon
which its assistance is requested a careful
study on the ground, and it draws up it's
final plan for management with due re-
gard to the purpose and point of view of
the lumberman. In other words, its work
is eminently practical and business-like.
not purely scientific and theoretical
1.-The advice given by the Bureau of For
estry in it's working plans for the handling
of timber tracts is, in a word, the best bust
ness policy for their management based on
thorough expert examination. In my
judgment the opportunity is worthy of your
close attention, and 1 commend it to YOU"

HEALANI WINS SENIOR AND JUNIOR RACES

Fully Fourth was a red.letter day for
the Blues and blue day for the Reds.
Healani won both events in the
championship boat races at Pearl Har.
Dor, thus paying back the Myrtles,
who had everything their own way
last year.
Healani neatly captured the Senior
and Junior events, the former accom-
plished in ten minutes, FIVE and two
fifths seconds, the latter in ten min.
utes, sixteen seconds.
Before the half.mlle flag was reach
ed the Healanis, in both races, were
well in the lead. So well, in fact, that
they appeared almost certain OF win.
ming unless the Myrtles were holding
hack a great surprise. As the distance
to- the finish grew less and less, there
vas less chance of any such surprise
being sprung and when the mile flag
was left behind II was evident that
something little short of a miracle
would DO necessary to put the Reds in
front.
A lighter coxswain was carried in
the Healani boat than in the Myrtle.
The crews were in the water for the
Senior race shortly after $3.50 o'clock.
Half an hour later the race started. In
both events the Healanis had the out.
side position.
Both crews got away in good style.
Myrtle appeared to jump ahead. In
less than a quarter mile the boats
were level, Healani rowing a thirty
and Myrtle a twenty. eight stroke. At
the quarter Healani moved ahead. At
the half the Blues were forty or fifty
yards in the lead. The half was pass
