ARGUMENT AGAINST MARRIAGE.
Scandinavian Says That Single Men
Get All the Jobs There Are.

Another argument and a forceful one
against marriage has been discovered
by a Scandinavian immigrant to Min
nesota. A Benedict can get no en-
ployment, while a bachelor can, he
says.
Following is the epistle-addressed to
a local charitable organfzation-con-

CONVENIENT HOUSE APRON,
It Enables Housekeeper to Go from Kitchen to Parlor Without
 Change of Dress.

Every housekeeper thoroughly un- derstands the value of a good. we'll fitting apron as a protection to the clothing. IL is almost indispensable in the kitchen, and though no longer worn as an ornament one has only to look over the assortment at a fair or bazar to realize that the apron, if no longer the fashion, is still use full in a large variety Of our modern occupations.
 A busy houseEeeper of this city oc- casionally strays from her kitchen to the sitting room, or even 10 the front door, wearing a simple but conven- tent apron which fills the bill" better than any with which we are acquainted. Arrayed in 1t, and with the ha.f sleeves which cover the lower part of the arms, she can If necessary, go into her kitchen and prepare a meal and doffing the apron, present herself dain- tily and freshly dressed before her guests al the table. The apron should be made of wide goods if the following instructions are followed: otherwise 1t may be necessary to piece small gores on the front breadth and to allow extra for the half sleeves:

tured. This can always be accepted as untrue. These beautiful sprays have never yet been successfully initiated All that are offered for sale have been torn from the warm bodies of the smaller white herons Even the stiff olumes known to milliners as stubs" are not manufactured. They are taken from the larger species of white her ons.
 Heron sprays are frequently sold as "ospreys." According to the Audubon societies this is trade name used 10 conceal the fact that heron plumes are being handled commercially
 Both "aigrettes" and stubs" are dyed various colors, especially black: however, no matter what is the tint of the plume when offered for sale at the milliner's. its original color when on the back of the heron was white; the artificial color is merely in response 10 the dictates of fashion
 IL is conceded that the sale of aiCrettes from the American bird is prohibited. but it is claimed that there are no laws that prevent the sale of importei goods. Granting that this may be the case, how is the buyer 10 tell whether the goods are from Ameri- can or old world herons2 The most expert ornitholoSists cannot separate the plumes after they are taken from the birds.
 The heron family, although sadly thinned out in numbers. is distributed over large portion of the globe Their food consists of small fish, aquatic ln- sects, crawfsh and living things found along the shores and in swamps.
 Two varieties of this exquisite bird are native to America-the snowy her on, which varies from 20 to q inches. and the American egret. which is al most twice the size of the snowy her on, its length being from q to il lnches-St Paul Globe.

HERON FAMILY IS DOOMED.
One of the Most Beautiful of Bird Races Is Being Rapidly Wiped
 Out by Women

Twenty years ago the price for an ounce of heron feathers was three or four dollars at most. IL is now more than quadrupled. Thirty-two dollars per ounce was recently offered for fine plumes
 The much-sought-for "aigrette" or osprey of commerce is a tuft worn by the heron during a very limited DOT ton of the year-that is, during the mating season.
 Unfortunately for their race, the rerOns during this time gather into colonies. Whether this is for the sa ? 0f mutual protection, or simply a so- -ial instinct, ornithologists have not been able to decide.

No, that does not always attract attention enough. We must have people tell us how clever and how smart we are. Does this pay What strength We have do We not owe to our home and our loved ones?

Our readers will remember we stated that I. M. Parker, the expert driller in charge of the Pinal Paraffine Oil Company's drilling plant at Hack berry Wash, took with him to Los Angeles two weeks ago samples of the shale and sandstone at the bottom of the compeny's prospect we'll. He had them asssyed by J. R. Hawley, the oil assayer of Los Angeles, and we received the returns Wednesday. The sandstone, which showed parafine wax, assayed 13a gallons of paraffine oil to each ton of rock, and the shale 6a gallons of paraffine oil to the ton. This is certainly encouraging, and justifies Mir. Psrker's prediction that he will not have to go over forty feet further to strike the oil reservoir. The new casing and the new drill tools for the we'll are now in transit, and as soon as they arrive work will be re- sumed at the we'll. The new easing will be small enough to go down in- side of the old casing, and will extend from the top to the bottom of the we'll, now 1909 feet deep. The new drill will be small enough to work inside the new casing. The new easing will be put in to prevent any loss of oil through cracks or holes that may ex- ist in the old casing. There is hardly shadow of doubt now that the Pinal Paraffine Oil company will strike par affine oil in paying quantity, and the stockholders who have backed their faith by an expenditure of about $25, 900 will get the reward they have so we'll earned. These stockholders, with very few minor exceptions, are residents of Gils and Pinal counties. Florence Blade.

Senator Lodge went home to Massa- chusetts to be present at the Republi- can State convention, and prevent a reciprocity plank with Canada from appearing in the platform. This was strongly demanded until the Senator asserted that American exports to Canada have increased from $20, ,000,- 900 in 1867 to sl23, 900. 900 in 1903. Such fact was to much for reciproc- ity, and it died 8 natural death.

WRECK ON THE SANTA FE
Collision of u Troop Train and
Light Engine West of Needles,
Cal.-Onr soldier Killed.

Los Angeles, Cal. April 26,--A west
bound special train, carrying several
carloads of soldiers bound for the Pre-
sidio, San Francisco, was wrecked at
Hartoum station, the first station west
of Needles, Cal. on the Santa Fe rail-
road. One soldier. James NJ. Bowers,
was killed and about dozen injured.
According to the meager information
obtainable in this city. the wreck oc-
cured some time during the afternoon,
Sunday. and was caused by the collid-
ing of light engine, east-bound, with
the troop train. The engine had helped
a train over the heavy grade Just west
OF Needles and was returning to that
point, presumably without knowledge
of the special troop train. The crews
Of both engines escaped by jumping,
The locomotives were completely
wrecked. A special train was sent out
from San Bernardino to take care OF
the injured and to clear the track The
wreck is declared to be not serious by
the railroad peopl,,
