These mills are engaged in cutting lum-
Der at present for the railway and for
the town Of Hardin.
1t is clear that Russia intends to pro-
vide for all the requirements of lum-
Der in Manchuria and Siberia, with a
possibility of entering the Chinese mar
ket.
The government has established a
ruling that all railway and government
supplies must be purchased from the
Russian companies if possible This is
encouraging many industries in Man.
churia, of which the lumber industry is
one
The recent purchase of considerable
quantities of lumber from the United
States was due to the haste in providing
quarters for Russia's army in Man
churia.
The railway will require many ties,
or sleepers, as these decay very fast,
many having to be replaced before the
railroad is completed. This is due to the
fact that the railway is not yet ballast
ed. and the ties are laid deep in the earth
posed to the air. These ties are now
coming in considerable quantities from
Siberia and Japan. and l do not believe
it possible for the United States to COM
pete for the trade.
The Russians are familiar with the
lumber, wheat and flour business, and as
they have the natural advantages and the
earnest support of their banks, railways
and government throughout Manchuria,
l am convinced that their development
of these industries is likely to soon close
this market to the United States in these
products, and if they show intense en-
ergy and enterprise they will become Sc
we're competitors in the great markets
OF China for -four, especially, and pos
sibly for lumber
There is none Of the lumber that I
have yet seen equal to the Oregon pine,
but much of it is good enough for the
common markets Of China, and will be
accepted for most purposes.

The political candidate OF less than
twenty-five years ago depended large
ly upon personal canvass of his ward
town, county, state or country, accord
ing to the office to which he aspired.
The more territory thus covered per-
sonaily the better, generally. have
the chances been for success on elec-
tion day. The idea has been, and
still is, to get acquainted with the
people, enlist their confidence and
land their votes.
Stump speaking, personal stunts
and old-time hand shaking events are
going into the eternal past and prin-
ter's ink is doing the work more
thoroughly and in better manner.
1t is no longer necessary to spend
weeks and months in late hours, ex-
pensive feasts and tiresome trips to
meet up with the constituency. The
candidate of today tells the story Of
his better side of life-to his campaign
committee and hands them his most
pleasing photo, together with a liber-
al bunch of his political promises and
fairy tales and behold, tho thing is
done.
Mr.. Candidate spends his evenings
where he pleases. He holds down his
job with undistuIbed regularity and
printers ink makes people familiar
with his face and the good side of his
life. and they get his views on econ
omy and general principles just as
well as if he had spoken &c them per-
sonally-and maybe better, since they
can take their time to look up all the
Dig words they couldn t understand in
speech.
All this is for the best. 1t is far
ahead of the old way, no matter how
on may take it. There are no crowds,
no stale eggs and vegetables. no rains,
late trains, no drinks, no fights and
no arguments. Everybody learns to
know the man by his photo IN the
home paper and everybody can learn
his views and find out what manner
of man he is in the editorial columns.
Nobody loses time or patience and no.
body fails to see the big show because
OF lack OF time, because the paper will
always wait till everybody finds time.
We Welcome the new idea.

Man of Science Did Not Bite.

Miss Daisy Letter has brought back
from London a story about Charles
Darwin.
1.-TWO English boys" said Miss Lei
ter, being friends of Darwin. thought
one day that they would play joke
on him. They caught butterfly,
grasshopper, a beetle and centipede,
and out of the creatures they made
strange, composite insect. They took
the centipede's body, the butterfy's
wings, the grasshopper's legs and the
beetles head and they glued them to-
gether carefully. Then. with their
new bug in box, they knocked at
Darwin's door.
"We caught this bug in a feld,'
they said Can you tell US what kind
of bug it is. sir?"
Darwin looked at the bug and then
be looked at the boys. He smiled
slightly.
Ibid it bum when you caught it?'
he asked.
Eyes, they answered. nudging one
another.
Then, said Darwin, lit is a hum

Three townships would Secede,

j. L. Poorman of Willvalle was In
Knox Ohe day this week taking the
preliminary steps towards having the
townships OF Hanna, Cass and Dewey
disannexed from Laporte county and
annexed TO Starke county, says the
Starke County Republican. These
townships rightly belong to this coun-
ty. and at one time, perhaps over half
a century ago, they were part of our
territory. The wide-spreading and
sluggish Kankakee was responsible
for these townships becoming part
of Laporte county. The river formed
natural barrier between those town.
ships and the rest of Starke county.
and it was almost impossible, during
a great portion Of the year, to cross
this stream and stretch of swamp eX-
cept by canoe, SO Starke county lost
the trans Kankakee territory without
struggle. The census of 1900 gave
CaSS township a population of .457,
Dewey township, 34z and Hanna
township 766. With these three
townships added Starke county would
be squared up in good shape. being "a
by Is miles in dimension. Attorney
Charles c. Kelley has been retained
by an association formed in those
townships to prosecute the move.
There are two ways by which the
change can be made. One is for each
county to sanction the change by a
majority vote In each county and up
on consent of the board of commits
sioners of Starke county. The other
is for the legislature to grant an cleo
tiOn to these townships and a major
ity vote sanction the proposition

Summer Reading.

A Philadelphia paper rebukeS the
public for preferring light literature
in the summer, and urges people to
improve their minds during the heated
terms by the perusal of classics. Heat
is conducive to mental activity, it
says, and physical laSsitude is not
necessarily accompanied by intellect
ual tOrpOr. Then, it goes on Solemnly
to recommend Millions "L'Allegro"
and III PenSerOSO," Keats poems,
the comedies Of Shakespeare, Moliere
and Goldsmith; and for fiction, if it
must be read, the old novels rather
than the new-Sc0tt, Thackeray,
Dickens, Eliot. Hawthorne, Meredith
and Dumas
The advice is undoubtedly good.
There is more than room for suspicion
that good many persons who like to
class themselves as ''literary" in the
sense of being we'll posted and appre-
ciatlve of literature are painfully
lacking in acquaintance with the
authors named. They know Milton
and Moliere and Shakespeare and
Keats and the rest by reputation, and
respect them highly, but they do not
read them-not when they can help
it. And there is always some reason
why they can help it, especially in the
summer. Whatever scientists may
say about heat and mental activity,
the fact that remains that the aver
age individual, when he goes on his
vacation or takes his rest in the home
hammock, feels a singular indisposi-
tion to engage 10 thought of any kind.
What he wants is literature that can
be grasped without conscious exertion.
literature that soothes and Gains and
sends him off to sleep. He doesn't
want bis mind improved; he wants bis
mind to- ie fallow. He does not o.
ject to irrigsting it In a mild way
with novel or so, but unless be is a
very strenuous and conscientious per-
son he doesu It choose Scott or Mere
dith or any of the elect; he quietly
plucks AIDES sFables" or some equally
innocuous work from the shelf, and is
quite content.
AS general proposition it may be
said that when a reader is not caught
young and given classic diet, he is
not likely TO take it voluntarily in
later years. When he chooses summer
reading he is prone to select books of
frivolous sort and to think that they
rest him. And il they do. perhaps be
is right in so choosing.
