The retirement of Warden. Wolfer is tt

The retirement of Warden. Wolfer Is to
be regretted, tho not wondered at. He can
make more money than the state is willing
to pay for a warden Of the penitentiary,
but perhaps not more than the state ought
to pay in view Of the large business carr
ried on by the state within the prison
walls. It is the rule, however, that the
state pays poor wages for, extra capacity:
It will overbid the market for cheap day
labor, as in the case Of city councils pay
ing more for common day labor than it
can earn anywhere else, while in positions
of great responsibility and requiring ex-
pert knowledge the state is VIGOROUSLY
poor pay. Politics and not public interest

That is 1ove-making of a type, one
might say, but we doubt it. If all matri-
moniaI' propositions had to be placed on
record it. is doubtful whether any two
would be found exactly alike, when the
census man came to make UP the stat
istics, and quite as matter-of-fact pro-
posals would doubtless be found among
those supposedly born to better things.
For all that, this is a poverty-stricken
tale, viewed from romantic standpoint:
It shows, however, that Mr.. Hartman has
drawn from life after careful study.
There are other stories from the same
level of life in Mr.. Harriman's Book, ''The
Will of Anton Tschaeche" portrays the
affection Of a GRANDPA Their for his grand@
daughter. 1t is story of one Of the
minor tragedies of life among Polish i'm

Mr.. Eugene G.. Hay, now general ap-
praiser of the treasury department, has
Just made an interesting and important
decision relating to reciprocity treaties.
A case came before him on Feb. 8 involv-
ing the question of whether goods original
ly manufactured in a country having a
reciprocity treaty with the United States
are entitled to the preferential duties
granted by that treaty if they come to the
United States after having been exported
to- some third country. Mr. Hay decided
that in order to get the benefits of the
reciprocity tariff the goods must be ex--
ported from the country in which they
were made. Such an Interpretation of the
law will make it impossible for reciprocity
treaties to be abused to the profit of coun-
tries not included within their scope.

he is grateful is only a mild ex.
preston of the truth. He feels
gratifled and pleased not only
because Of the amount of the gift
but because of the expression Of
goodwill which it manifests on the
part of the congregation. If a
minister feels he is not desirable to
people or that his efforts are not
appreciated it is very hard for him
TO do even his duty. Your pastor
does no. feel this way but this
remembrance gives new spirit and
Joy to his work. He thanks you all
and expresses his especial gratitude
to those who first thought of the
gift and also to those who were
instrumental in collecting it.

advertised to let the contract tor an
iron bridge at Rowlands tomorrow.
There arc two spans in the present
structure and the total length of the
bridge is 100 feet. The pier is badly
damaged. While a one span bridge
would cost considerably more than
a two span, yet, considering the
cost Of new pier, probably $1,000,
which, however we'll and substant
iatly constructed, would, always in
the swift current of the river, be a
menace to the structure, it woulu
seem advisable to make but one
span. The cost of a pier added to
the one span ought not to make the
total much greater than a two span
bridge, and it would be much safer
in the end.

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scots Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Where the Heart Of the American
Timber Belt ls Now.


Where the Heart Of the American
Timber Belt ls Now.
In the United States the heart Of
the lumber belt has moved westward.
At the beginning Of the last century
almost the entire wood supply came
from the then untouched forests Of
the Penobscot River region Of Maine.
As the woodsmen cut deep into the
heart of the wood the industry was
forced to find other fields from
which to draw its supply. and the vir-
gin forests Of the South and of the
States bordering on the Great Lakes
were cut into. Although these re-
gions are by no means depleted to-
day, the Pacific coast is rapidly be-
coming the heart of the lumber trade.
And what wonder, for in the three
States Of California, Oregon and
Washington, there is at least one
third Of the entire supply of standing
timber in the United States. In fig
ures, It amounts to more than 600,OOO,-
100000 feet of uncut wood
The forest reserves and national
parks set apart by the United States
government within the limits of these
three states aggregate an area or 3d.
42S square miles or more than % per
cent. OF the total wooded area Of the
states. In the State of Oregon alone,
where a careful examination has been
made, the national census officials
have estimated the standing timber
on these reservations at $4,000 900
feet, or one-fourth of the States total
supply.-Reyiew Of Reviews.
