nine dollars in living expenses
for every dollar saved. That

careful about unnecessary ex-

Something OfInterest to all
Citizens.

AS will be seen by the notice
printed elsewhere, the citizens
of Canyon City are asked to
meet the Com missioner in charge
of the Colonization Agency of
the Southwestern Lines at the
time stated, and have confer
ence with him upon the subject
of immigration as it affects our
locality, and how to get it.
A brief explanation of this
immigration movement ought to
be given. The Colonization
Agency mentioned was founded
a few months ago by nine Of the
Southwestern lines, including
the Rock Island, the Santa Fee,
the Frisco and others. For con
venience the Agency was located
at St. Louis, and its business is,
in brief, "To Advertise the
Great Southwest"
The railway lines in interest
have furnished the money to
maintain the Agency and its
work, but the idea involved is
that of mutual help. That is,
the railroads will organize,
print, distribute, pay rents and
salaries, keep the movement
going, but they need also the
cooperation of the people of
the communities that are to be
described and advertised. This
is natural and proper.
Meantime it ought to be un-
derstood that the Colonization
Agency is in no sense a specu-
lation. The railroads do not
advertise their own lands, if
they have any, and most OF
them have not. No money con
tribution is asked for from any
body, and would be declined if
it were offered. That which is
needed and asked for is d sim.
pie thing, and that is the facts
about the country given by
those who live in it. Those who
know what the Eastern farmer
wants to know are the men and
women of actual experience
They alone can give the facts
wanted in way that convinces
the man, who, as rule is pos,
sessed by the idea that some
body is trying TO sell him a
piece of the great American
Desert, and that the South west
has no schools or churches, and
no teachers, preachers or doc
tors.
The sole purpose of this visit !
OF the Commissioner to our CITY /
is to place the Agency he repre-
sents more ia touch with the |
men and women OF the commun-
ity, and to ask them to help
him to help themselves.
The Commissioner, Capt. Jas.
W. Steele, has been nearly all
his life resident OF the South |
west. He has had large ex
perience in immigration bust
ness. Much more a writer than
4 speaker, he is not intending
10 deliver lectures, but wishes
merely TO talk for few minutes
with the people wbo will attend
these meetings, SO that they
nay better understand what the
is trying to do, and may
lelp him do it, while at the
same time helping themselves
by bringing more people TO oc-
supy the land. Il

Echoes are puzzling but interesting
things Many boys like them chiefly
because they offer a good excuse for
"hollering," but perhaps your interest
is of another sort When l say that
echoes are puzzling ] mean that they
sometimes are found where you least
expect them and are absent from what
appear to be more likely places, says
a writer in the Chicago Chronicle.
You know, suppose, that an echo
is caused by the sound of your voice
being reflected or thrown back to
your ear by a building or some other
object. But this object must not
be too near If it is at a great dis
tance it must be correspondingly large
and there must be no trees or other
things in the way.
A large barn standing in an open
field is an excellent maker of echoes
and if you walk toward it and "holler'

hen you come within about 100 feet.
his is because an interval between
sound and it's echo is smaller as
you approach the echoing object, so
that when you are within less than
100 feet the echo blends with the or
iginal sound and prolongs it instead
of being heard separately. You must
have noticed this drawing out of the
sound If you have ever spoken or
shouted in large empty hall, such
as an armory. Sound travels at the
rate of LOO feet second, so it
takes les than one-fifth of second
to go 100 feet and back. Now, one
fifth of a second is about the smallest
interval ira: the ear takes note of
and repetition of a sound in one
fifth of a second is heard as prolong-
alton, net as {. distinct echo.
If the echoing object is further away
the interval will be greater. If the
distance is $50 feet there will be a
whole second between the sound and
its echo There is, therefore, time
to get in four other sounds-that is to
say, at this distance you can pro-
nounce five syllables very rapidly be-

HOWARD GOT HIS HAIR CUT
His Friend Bill Settled With the Bar
Der and Bossed the Job.

Two Philadelphia boys, Howard and
Bill, used to have many disputes about
how their hair should be cut. Bill al
ways had his head cropped short How
ard wore his in long ringlets. The
other day they entered a barber shop
together. Previous to this time How
ards mother took great pride in the
aristocratic appearance of her child
and it was her custom to take him
downtown to fashionable hairdresser
once a week to have his treSSes trim
med. The other day Bill was sent to
the barber around the corner to have
his hair cut and Howard went along.
Bill climbed manfully into a chair, and
the other barber asked Howard if he
didn't want to have his hair cut too.
"That's all right" said Bill. You
cut his hair and I'll pay for it
So Howard's beautiful locks were
shorn to a closeness that left his ears
standing out like miniature mountains

AS GOOD AS MIND READING
How to Tell Number Any Person Is

IHIIlNIHS VI.
The tricks of the mind reader are
very puzzing to the little folks, yet
any child can learn few things in
that line that will afford them much
entertainment as we'll as mystifying
their companions. Here is how one
can tell any number companion may
be thinking of:
Ask a person to think of some num-
ber and then tell her to double it.
Tell her to multiply the sum by five
and then to tell you the product and
you will tell her the number thought
of in the beginning. This product
will, of course, be SO much larger
than the number started with that
she will not hesitate to tell you her re.
suit If you take off the last figure OF
the product, which will always be a ci-
pher, you will have the number
thought of in the beginning. For in
stance, suppose she started with the
number seventeen, Doubling it will
give thirty four and multiplying it by
five would give 10. Striking off the
cipher you will have seventeen, the
number thought of in the beginning.

The manner in which the reindeer
are distributed is this: A heard Of
deer numbering usually 100, is loaned
by the government to a mission sta
ton. The government reserves the
right to call on the station for the
return of the same number of deer as
it loaned after three years.
The missionaries select the best
natives of whom they know, and take
them as apprentices in the reindeer
herding and raising business. At the
end of year of training each appren-
tice gets three deer as loan.
If he takes good care Of there for
four years and has bred deer from
his original stock the station lends
him fifty deer and he may then begin
to sell surplus reindeer or kill them
for food. But all this time he must
keep the original number OF reindeer
in good condition. II any die, he must
be breeding others to take their places.
If he has proved faithful after the end
of twenty years the government gives
him the entire herd. So by good hard

spheres are too frail to last long, it is
true, but there is way of making
them far tougher than is common-so
tough, indeed, that they will roll
around the carpet of room for some
time before bursting. Into a pint of
water shave a piece of brown laun-
dry soap about an inch square con-
tanning a good proportion of lye.
When this is thoroughly dissolved add
a tablespoonful of gum arabic and stir
till melted. Then a teasponful of gly-

fully colored bubbles can be made
by separating this mixture into cups
and adding pinch of different color
ed diamond dyes to each. But for
little people strawberry or currant
juice for pink bubbles and orange
juice for yellow bubbles are perhaps
safer. The lye in the soap plus the
glycerine increases the briliancy of
the bubbles and gives them elasticity.
Hot water is necessary to dissolve

different distances, the echo from the

echo may be re-echoed; that is, the
