The Boomer Advance gives in it's
last issue description of the new
starch factory built at Boomer this
summer by Ex-Mayor Jas. Dunn of
this city. 1t says the main factory
is 5Oxl4O feet, to which is added a
large boiler room. The main build
ing is two full stories high with a
basement under the entire building.
The power consists of a sixty horse
power engine and an eighty horse
power boiler. Water is taken from
a running stream near the factory.
The Advance says of Mr.. Dunn:
"Jas. Dunn, who has been in charge
of the Colfax starch factory for the
past two or three years, will have
charge of the factory this fall. Mr.
Dunn has had untold experience
with starch factories and a better
man for the place would be hard to
find. The factory commenced buy
ing potatoes Tuesday and will com
mence operating as soon as they
get potatoes enough on hand tc
start up"

Thos. Lawson has written sem
sational article about F. A. Helnze,
the Montana cooper King" for an
October magazine. He makes many
specific and grave charges about
Heinze's business methods to his
detriment, every one of which Mr..
Heinze says is a lie. After berating the
copper king for many dishonest and
dishonorable transactions, Lawson
declares that che (Heinze) is too
cowardly to acknowledge his Jewish
origin, while he is Gentile-plated
Jew" To this statement Mr..
Heinze says: 81 am descended on
my fathers side through nine gener-
atoms of Lutheran ministers of the
gospel, going back to Martin Luther,
and on my mothers side am of Eng
lish and American descent" But a
sensation can be produced with lies
where the truth would be dull read
ing. Great crowds will gloat over
pack of lies, written by Lawson,
a Steffens or a Tarbell in denuncia-
ton of men of influence, and feel
sorry to learn that the statements are
untrue. What is the reason that so
many people are anxious to hear
something mean of others? Doesn't
this disposition show deep-seated
meanness in itself? There are many
virtues, but Charity is the greatest,
and the rarest.

Jas. ]. Hill, President of the Great
Northern Railway, made an adj
dress to a gathering of farmers at
Preston, Mimi, week ago. Among
other things Mr.. Hill said:
"Yo our main needs" said Mr.. Hill,
after severely condemning "graft"
in public and private life, fare two:
an adequate market in which your
products may be sold at fair price
and an opportunity to purchase
those things you need which the
farm does not supply. AS far as
your grain is concerned you must
sell in the markets of the world.
"The tariff will not help you, al
though your politicians may say you
are protected, and thereby helped,
but you know better. There is one
way, however, in which you may
be helped, and that is by lessening
the cost of transportation. You
have to bear the cost Of carrying the
product of your farm to the con-
sumer."
Naturally, the Great Northern's
president does not take kindly to the
idea of the Panama canal. It will
interfere with the business of the
transcontinental railways. He calls
it spectacular business which APP
peals to the imagination of the peo-
pie, can expensive toy"

An exchange pertinently remarks:
There never was paper in any To-
cality that gave all the news. Per-
sons often come and go that the re-
porter does not see. 1t often hap
pens that a family is missed several
times. They get the impression
that the paper does not care to men
ton them. 1t is a mistake. The
paper has no i'll feeling, nor spite
nor enmity against anybody. Do
not be afraid to give US items of in
terest. Perhaps you think the pa
per shows Partially, but try and
see if it doesn't treat you well if
given chance. Ifyou don't see us
to tell US any happening or news
items at your home, use the tele-
phone or drop it in the postofice;
but don't fail to give your name SO
we will know there is no mistake
about it, The little happenings
are what help to make country
newspaper big. We want the news
and the more of it the better.

Democratic papers contend with
anxious insistence that the tariff

revision it will be revised. But the

If boys could be made to realize
the value of an education they
would be more anxious to apply
themselves diligently to study while
such opportunities for learning are
available. An exchange gives these
facts to demonstrate the money
value of an education:
"The average educated man gets
a salary of 81 900 a year. He works
forty years, making total of $780,
900 in life time. The average day
laborer gets $1.50 per day, 800 days
in year or $3.50 per year. In forty
years he earns $4,000. The differ
ence of $22, 900 equals the education.
To acquire this earning capacity it
takes twelve years at school of 100
days each, or 2,160 days. Divide
$22, 900, the value of the education,
by 2,160, number of days required
in getting it, we find that each day
of school is worth more than ten
dollars to the pupil.

Wherever / have been among the
farms Of different States there seems
to be n failure to appreciate the differ
ence between fowls of fine constitution
and those of little less than average
vigor. No doubt this is because the
conditions in general assume a fairly
good average constitution. The fact
that birds running at large are not like
Is to be so closely observed as those in
