A BIG BIRD

The Berlin university has fitted out
an expedition to hunt a huge bird
that has for many years been reported
as extinct, but recent reports encourage
the belief that 1t is yet to be found far
in the interior of Madagascar in Africa.
Prof Krause has been appointed as
the head of this expedition and has al
ready started on the hunt for the giant
bird. The Berlin correspondent for the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat says: 1.-THE
scientific name Of the giant bird is
Aepyornis, and 1t was supposed to be
extinct up to short time ago, when
one of its eggs was found on the south
west coast of Madagascar, swimming in
a river that had carried 1t from the
interior. This egg was 16 inches high,
measuring IL inches in diameter. It
was sawed apart and its contents filled
a liters vessel, being the equivalent of
100 chickens eggs. The weight of the
egg was 27 pounds and the shell meas
ured 6 millimetres in diameter. NADIA
gascar being tropical country it must
be assumed that the egg was laid
no more than eight days ere 1t was
found, as otherwise it would have gone
putrid. For that reason the Berlin
university fitted out an expedition to
hunt and capture a giant bird and find
out all about its life and condition.
The bird is supposed to be between
IA and Is feet high"

The energetic manner in which the
forest fire protective measures have
been brought to the attention of the
people of this state has had a bene-
iicial effect in greatly lessening the
destruction Of the timber, says the
Olympia Record. While but one arrest
has been made this season, the pro-
visions Of the protective legislation, the
publicity given to the same, has pre-
vented the starting of many fire. Log
gers camps, farmers, campers, and all
who have occasion to build fires in the
forest districts have. in consequence
Of the forest fire legislation, exhibited
the greatest care and precaution. The
consequence has been a wonderful di-
minishing of former losses by destruc-
tive forest conhagratlons.
Forest fires have been in progress in
Oregon also the past summer but no
arrests are yet reported.

The attempted assassination of the
United States Vice Consul at Beirut,
Syria. by Turkish subjects may prove a
turning point in the affairs of Turkey
OF greater importance than the Sub
lime Porte" has ever dreamed of. He
has been allowed by the European pow
ers to do about as he pleased and to
ignore international honor, integrity
and common honesty for several years.
Even Uncle Sam has allowed him to
play fast and loose with obligations
and promises, until the Moslem ruler
probably imagines that he is immune
from the interference of all other pow
ers. The time has now come when the
sleepy Turk will have as rude an awak-
ening as that which Macco Bozzaris is
credited with producing. The United
States will now demand not only the
punishment of those who attempted the
life Of our representative, but will also
force Mr.. Turk to fulfill certain pledges
and consummate certain financial set
Elements which have been neglected for
some time. The general sentiment
throughout the country is in favor of
wasting very little more diplomacy
with Turkey.

PROSPERITY OF COUNTRY
industrial Conditions Are Ably Set
Forth By Shaw

Chicago, Sept, s,--Sccretary Shaw,
before the National Association Of Mer-
chants and Travellers, at Chicago. last
evening, said In part as follows;
A representative OF a large metro
Ipolitan daily recently submitted the
following question as the basis of an
Interview; HAS the boom left the
United States richer than IL found ltg'
The honor was declined. as usual. but
| could not help contemplating few
facts.
Compare the following with avail
able statistics covering any former
period and there can be but one ans
wer to the proposition, Our farms pro-
duce four thousand millions, Have
these lands become sterile or thir oc-
cupants mdolentr our five hundred
Thousand factories add ffty-six hun
drsd millions In value TO the three
thousand millions of raw material. and
their net output. exclusive OF duplica-
tlons is more than eight thousand mil-
lions, Have these hikes OF industry
been consumed by the elementsG Six
hundred operatives IN these factories
and workshops annually sign pay rolls
aggregating three billions, Have these
artisans become paralyzed or have
their wages been reduced Our mines
quarrys. clay banks and oil wells yield
thousand millions, Are these store
houses Of wealth exhausted or their ca
pacity diminished? Our two hundred
thousand miles of railway transport six
hundred million tons OF original
freight. not including Implications. and
pay eight hundred thousand operatives,
exclusive Of officers, six hundred and
fifty million dollars, Are these
thoroughfares of commerce In the
hands OF receivers, or are they likely
to be?
As nearly as can b. estimated the
annual productive capacity OF the
American people is elevenbillion dollars
This does not include Implications. This
does not include raw cotton and man
ufactured cotton; but raw cotton and
the value added thereto in the process
of manufacture. of this we export one
and one half billions, and import bull
lion of other merchandise. mainly non
competitive with our own products.
We therefore consume the equlvolentof
95 per cent OF all we produce. Not
while these conditions continue win
prosperity cease.
We are the most prosperous people in
the world because we both produce and
consume more than others. Ire little
that we sell abroad, about 10 per cent
of our net production, and the little
we purchase abroad, or per cent OF
our net consumption, constitute no chal-
lenge TO the statement that our pros
perity rests with ourselves. Unless our
factories and workshops voluntarily
close or labor voluntarily refuses em-
ployment or commerce voluntarily ceas-
es its activity, there is no occasion for
alarm, Unless apprehension becomes ep
idemic and ultraconservatism contag-
ious, the immediate future holds for us
as much Of real good as the immediate
past has showered upon us.

1t is said that the tax rolls of Clack-
amas county will show an increase in
values of nearly 100 per cent over last
year. Some OF the principal items GO
ing TO make up the increase are those
properties of corporations which have
been. in the minds OF the public, val
ued too low in the past, and toward
which the county assessors have been
glancing the past year or two with
less fear and trembling than formerly.
For instance. the Crown Paper Com
pany will pay on $4,000 this year in
stead of $4,000 last year: the Oregon
City Manufacturing Co., on 100000, in
stead of $4,000 last year; the Oregon
City ice plant on 5000. instead of 81, 900
last year; the Oregon Water Power and
Railway Company on a proportionate
increase; the Portland FIGURING Mills
Company on double the valuation Of
last year, and so on down the line with
public and private property. There be-
ing no incentive now for the several
counties TO out-do each other in the
lowering of values in order to escape
state taxes. the assessed valuation Of
the state viii in a few years more
cease to be the laughing-stock of other
states. 1t win assume a proportion
somewhat in comparison to the real
wealth OF the state.

"Bill Arp" the Georgia humorist, is
dead. In his passing all men who love
joke and who are not too pessimis-
tic and mean and empty to laugh, will
shed tear. Humanity owes a debt
to the man who can make men laugh,
a debt that 1t can not altogethr pay
with flowers for his casket nor kind
words for his memory, nor monu-
ments over his dust. "Arp's" life was
as sweet as a flower and as stainless
as light. He believed in men and out
of their foibles and their petty failings
he coined the matchless jewel of a
smile. His life was long and true and
gentle. He knew that the natural
heritage Of man was to make mis-
takes and he never chided, but rather
by the alchemy of his gifted pen dis
guised their weaknesses with jibe
and covered up their faults with the
glorious mantle Of a Joke. He was
therefore a philosopher. Indeed, the
man who can chase care from the
wrinkled brow or glorify a face with
the radiance Of smile in this busy
old -day-world. will some day
be called the saint. We part hands
with ARP" at the river as he crosses
to the glorious company of Nye and
Billings and the rest Of the gIlttering
band, with nameIess sorrow. but be-
lievng that the summer land beyond

The tariff on salmon has protected
the salmon combine in it's industry,
enabling it to set a price upon it's can
ned product without fear Of competi-
ton from the salmon packers of Can
ada and British Columbia. 1t has in
cidentally made salmon more costly for
the consumer, and at the same time
has stimulated the destruction of the
salmon. There was one inconvenience
connected with the tariff on salmon
which even the salmon combine itself
was ready to admit, and which the
treasury department has now stepped
in to remove. The tariff made it i'm
practicable for the Amrican packers to
catch salmon in Canadian waters while
the Dominion fishermen, being free
from this tariff obstacle, were able
to fish in American waters and can
their product on British soil. So the
treasury department has kindly helped
out by ruling that American packers
shall be entitled to a drawback to the
amount of the duty paid on foreign fish
caught for export. .--Ex.

The circuit court Of Multnomah
county has decided that the county
commissioners court has no power or
authority to compromise tax cases.
When a tax is once legally levied, the
law provides that the sheriff is the col
lector of it and If 1t be not paid it be-
comes delinquent, thus subjecting to
sale the property against which 1t is
assessed. After the sale of property
for delinquent taxes it can be redeemed
only through the county clerk in the
manner prescribed in the law and by
paying the full amount of tax, PEN
atty and interest. The decision seems
to be based on law and common sense,
and is very important in that county,

AS CHRIST WOULD

The "Christian Grocery" established
BY Alfred +. Norton. and run as
Christ would run such an Institution
has had to abandon Hartford City, Ind.
Mr.. Norton says he will start another
He has been successful in establishing
.Christian Stores" in other Indiana
towns. He borrowed his idea from tho
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon's book, I'm
his Steps" His plan was to strip the
business OF all extravaganza, conduct
II on cash basis, and accept no prof
its beyond that necessary TO pay the
actual expenses of handling the goods.
sExtravagance," said he, is the whole
secret Of the trouble you may have ex-
perienced. You are not economical
yourselves, and your customers have
learned to follow in your footsteps.
You buy on credit; you sch on credit;
with all your bad bills and your list
Of unnecessary expenses, it is not to
be wondered at that you fail to make
both ends meet" Mr. Norton has been
remarkably successful in establishing
his Christian stores" in other Indiana
towns. and he now has Is of them in
operation, yielding him net profit of
$3.50 day for each, or s37 so on the
whole investment. He has found that
this net profit is building up bank
surplus, and he is contemplating a
profit sharing plan that will cut it
down. Norton is known in this sec
ton as the Christian merchant" and
while he runs his stores on business
principles, he claims that he does as
Christ would have done in the conduct
Of such business, and only accepts
enough profit to pay for his services
at $3.50 day. In Marion, Ind, where
Norton began his work, he has been
phenomenally successful. He has six
Christian stores in that city, and nine
more in neighboring towns. Hartford
City is the first recorded failure. When
he began this unique enterprise, two
years ago, other business men said 1t
was philanthropic dream that could
not be realized in the business world,
and they predictsd early failure. But
the failures have been among Nor
tens competitors. Many of them have
quit the business because they could
not compete with these stores.
Rules observed by the Norton stores:
Business for the day closes promptly |
at o'clock.
All employees are paid in full at the !
close Of each day.
All transactions are cash and no /
books are kept.
All goods are sold at cost after s.. so
profit for the day has been made.
There Is no delivery service.
He personally guards his premises
against fire to save the amount of in
surance premium.
No liquor, cigars or tobacco are car
ried in stock.
TO the poor class all goods are sold at
cost at all times.
