The Poor Moon.

Natives in Bulawayo, South Africa.
have a curious belief concerning the
moon. They say that he has two wives,
one of whom treats him we'll and the
other badly. During the first quarter
he goes over the hills to the Zambezi
and lives with his first wife, whom
they coll Keep the Door Open. She
feeds him SO well that nc gets fat and
full and round. But on his way back
he stays ut the hut of the second wife
Shut the Door Tight-who starves
and i'll treats him, so it is very thin
and woebegone moon that finally re-
turns to start his travels afresh.

THE FLEETING MOMENT.
By DUNCAN n. SMITH

'Tis gone. It's gone forever,
The moment that Is past.
Lost in that whIrlins eddy,
Eternity, the vast.
Bat why should VIC regret It
Or sadly OF 1t speak?
Thcrell he another coming
And several more next week.
And. pray. who would delay It
Or bid the moment stay?
We might as we'll be cheerful
And speed II on it's way.
or course the gem Is priceless,
But. pray. what would you do
If 1t should take a notion
10 loaf an hour or two?
We see the moment going
And say: ALIAS, that one!
We never shall behold 1t
Again. It's race IL rum"
But II 1t stayed an hour
Instead of sixty winks.
'Twould be too long till breakfast
And also between drinks.
Then do not set excited,
Although the moments fly,
For IL you waste n couple
Another one is nigh.
And really it Is silly
To take the thing to heart,
For they're so much like brothers
You can't tell them apart.

INCORPORATION ON A BOND

There should be a law on the statue
books of every mining state prohibit
ing the incorporation of a mining com
PAW on a bonded property; on prop
erty to which the ~incorporators OF sueh
company have no more title or Interest
than an option to buy and to pay FOL
within a certain period.
The mining industry of the west has
enough to contend with without the
stigma that attaches on account OF the
many failures incident to the incorpor'
alton of a company on bonded property,
and the losses which almost invariably
accompany such procedure. In many
cases the incorporation of such COM
panies is but a degree removed from
highway robbery, and for the reason
that, in nine cases out of ten, the
bonds are not taken up, resulting in an
entire loss to the purchasers of treasury
stock in such corporations.
To protect such innocent purchasers,
therefore, and to purify the atmospheric
of the mining industry, to lay barriers
in the way of grafters and wild-catters
the legislature of every mining state
should enact a law making it a peaf
Tertiary offense to incorporate a com
pany upon property that is not owned
by the incorporators by right of loca'
ton, or by outright purchase.
The laws of California are very
stringent regarding the organization OF
mining companies, and severe penalties
are imposed where exaggerations and
Misrepresentation are made concerning
mining property; where untruths are
set forth in mining prospectuses, ana
where effort is made to unload worth
less mining stock upon the public. This
is right, and not only protects the in
weston but also strengthens the legit
imacy of mining and encourages an
promotes the growth of this important
industry.
Prospective buyers of mining stocl
should make sure of the fact that tn.
company in which they are about tt
invest is the absolute owner of the
property upon which its incorporation!
is based. If it is upon a bond, only
except in exc~eptionable cases, sucf
stock should be eliminated from tn.
list of proposed investments.-Sa Sal

IN THE FOREST
Stations in the Dense Timber Keep Log
gers in Close Touch with Home.

gels Ill N4OSc 4OuCll WILL 11O4AOs
Detroit Tribune.
Up in the dense timber along the Big
BlackfoOt, Montana, where the logs are
cut that keep the big mills at Bonner
in motion, the traveller is often sur
prised as he journeys thru the logging
district, to see small telephone stations
located at intervals in the forest. There
are several Of these stations, and they
enable the loggers to keep in touch
with the mills, and, when the drive is
in progress, with the rivermen as they
chase the logs down the stream.
These timber telephones are Of the
greatest service in the conducting Of
the business Of the country. They save
a vast amount of time, and in case Of
an accident or any other trouble, they
are Of inestinlable value. During the
last two or three years, such telephone
lines have come into use in most Of the
big logging regions.
Thruout the forests, from the ST.
John to Vancouver, lumber camps be-
longing to the same interests are con-
thence to the sawmills or wood-pulp
works at frontier towns, from which
communication can be held even to the
metropolis.
It was formerly the custom of each
lumber interest to maintain force Of
couriers, like the voyagers of the Hud-
son Bay company, and these hardy men,
with knapsack, would travel twenty
five miles a day thru the wilderness,
over rough forest paths. ..=.~
Now the mill calls each camp in turn
at stated hours and RECEIVES reports
and gives Instructions to the foreman,
and it is not necessary to dwell on tho
commercial advantages of maintaining
such close touch between headquarters
and outposts in any enterprise. Letl
tiers are read to men showed in the for
est fifty or 100 miles away and answers
are dictated by the lumbermen to
stnographer, who transcribes them in
the office and then mails them to their
homes.
The relative contentment among the
men which is established by this FREE
quent communication is highly advan-
tageous to the working force, and.
therefore, to the employers. - -
