A Good Picri;.

The temperance league vf Bald Nill
and Sverdiup towns.l; held it's annual
picnic last Saturday, in the grove form
erly owned by Nils Herigstad.
Owing to light rain the previous
night, the people did not venture out
before eleven O'Clock. But IL large
crowd had gathered in time to take a
good out door dinner. After all had
been thus refreshed, u Short, but ir.
teresting program, consisting fspeech-
es, string band music, recitations and
solos, was rendered. Among the note
worthy numbers on the program was o
speech by one Of our faithful and en-
thusiastic teachers, uculge Graf. His
eloquent discourse on '''rAe Usefulness
OF Temperance Leagues" greatly en-
couraged the members of this little or
ganization.
The rest Of the time was spent in
playing out door games. While the
young people were thus amusing them
selves, the Older folks sat under the
tozv shade OF the large oak trees, con.
versing OH things nj by-gonc times.
AS the bright, June sun was slowly

THE WRECKS
Two S. r, p. s. p. Trains iii the Ditch
Inside of Three Days

On last Saturday night the south
bound passenger train went into
the ditch. There were no trains on
Sunday. The wreck could not be
cleared away in time for the trains,
and, besides, one of the trains was
not in condition to do business. A
shoofy was built around the wreck
and the next days trains went out
on time, but, when the south bound
freight struck the shoofy the next
night, things happened again. The
tender and six cars flew the track,
and thus the next mornings trains
were not out on time. Superlnten-
dent Drake and several other offic-
ers Of the road went to the scene OF
the wreck to aid in getting the affairs
in shape once more.
That particular part Of the coun-
try around Peoria seems to be the
pet place for railroad accidents.
Near there some time ago car of
dynamite blew up and wrecked a
train, and the rema, kable thing
about these two recent wrecks and
the dynamite blow up is that no
one was killed in either of them.
The same engineer was in charge
at both freight wrecks. He is an
awfully lucky unlucky man.

tsIiner and GeOIo QiSt

A good deal OF discussion re-
Gently has appeared in some OF the
other mining publications as to the
relative Importance Of the mining
geologist and practical miner. We
have seen practical miners who
were pretty thorough geologists and
who were constantly endeavoring
to become more proficient in the
science. We have also seen min
ing biologists with pick and drill
endeavoring to give their krowl-
edge tangible test We concl 1de,
then, that the practical miner is
frightened and broadened by a
study of mining geology; and that
the geologist cannot fail to make
himself more useful by experience
in practical mining There is no
good reason why each should not
welcome the other into his domain,
to the profit Of both. The prac-
tical miner has not time, perhaps,
to thoroughly take up the study Of
geology, neither can the the geolo-
gist afford to work every day in a
mine; but each may find the 9TH
er's occupation useful by-prod-

TitllIating the Eagle

European princes and pOtentates
are rubbing noses and back scratch
ing in the friendliest, most demo-
cratic fashion in the world with
such of the American people as
can afford to visit Europe in royal
luxury and get themselves ad-
mitted to royal Enclosures. The
object Of these condescensions to
our tickled countrymen is to i'm
prove the relations existing be-
tween sundry European monarch
les and the American people.
A worthy object, as is any which
has at bottom the increase of peace
on honorable terms. But the
princes and potentates aforesaid
are wasting themselves in misdi-
rected effort. They assume that
these American benefciaries of
theirs have crank" at home as sim
ilarly fortuned Europeans would
have in their countries. The re-
verse is the case, aud all that Amer
leans at home think of these favors
to their countrymen abroad is that
so many more once worthy demo
Gratis are being proselyted into
monarchical sympathies.
The only place to court the
American people is in their own
home. And the way to court them
is by an honest quid pro quo, not
by gracious smile to dazzle the
eyes while an eager hand reaches
for the purse-pocket. - Saturday

Eloquent Figures

The United States is still $780,
100000 behind it's iron and steel
requirements. In other words, it
has had to import iron and steel to
that value during the last twelve
months to meet orders.
Figures furnished by the Bureau
of Statistics, Washington, of iron
and steel imports during the eleven
months ended May 81, 1903, show
valuation of $47,OOO,OOO, which
show that for the twelve months
the value of iron and steel imports
will be fully $50,000,000.
Important as the figures are they
appear still more important when
compared with the value of the
iron and steel imports during the
corresponding periods of the years
1902 and 1901. For the eleven
months ended May 81, 1902, the
value of the imports was $23,O0O,-
900, and Or the corresponding Pc
riod enc i May 81, 1901, the value
was $16,000,OOO. This country
can stand several more good iron
mines before it's iron production
will be greater than its require
ments.-Los Angeles Mining Re-
