One can scarcely pick up a newspa- per published in the west nowadays without finding story of some rich new mineral strike, in gold silver or copper. A day or two ago, for instance, a man brought into an eastern Oregon town hatful of gold ore which as- saved about S20,0OO to the ton. The hatful, taken from a new strike in Ore gon, represented but one days clean up and was worth $3.O00. Thorough ex- ploitation of the mining industries of the west will be made in the Mines and Metallurgy building at the Lewis and Clark exposition. To demonstrate to the world the boundless possibilities of the mining industry in Wyoming is the aim of the exhibit of that state. It is to the mining exhibit and particular ly to the petroleum section of the dis play that the commissioners will pay the most attention. Two railroads, now under construction, will open Wy oming's oil producing territory. The oil display of this state at the St Louis exposition received a gold medal as being second to no display from any other state or foreign country. The commission plans to make the Portland exhibit even better than that at St Louis. Three hundred varieties of oil will be shown. varying from crude oil oil to the finest typewriter oil.

It behooved a poor, raw lad to stir himself for bed and board in London. Long before he had realized the sense- lessness and cruelty of eating meat. The use of alcohol, from his point of view, was worse than foolish. He was an eater of vegetables and cereals, a drinker of cold water, and contrlyed to live where stronger men would have perished. Furthermore, the garb of men struck him as silly and extravag- ant. Wool. instead of linen, and wool for clothes, wool for hat and gloves wool panacea for the evils of modern attire! So here is our man, our buc- cancer on mere plank. but bright and ready to scuttle the ships of state. re- ligion, art. and literature.
 Mir Shaw confesses, in one of his numerous prefaces, that he perpetrated the sin of novel-writing in those early days. His stomach was often empty his head never. He read and walked talked and read. He met kindred spirits. He was boosted, from time to time-only Shaw can write the story of those starving, beautiful days. They made a wonderful foreground for his

He began MGssmall way as a critic of books; then he took up music and said many wise and clever things of that art; pictures next attracted his versatile taste; and, final ly-though there is no finally to him he wrote of the drama with his ac- customed fearlessness, and the world began to ask, "Who is G.

There seems to be growing convic ton here that this whole matter of railway rate legislation is a big bluff being played by the republican mem- bers of congress, who are welded to the protective tariff. says Washing ton correspondent. That the Esch- Townsend bill was passed by the re- publican members of the lower house as n means to allay agitation is well known. They knew the senators would hold it up and strangle 1t, for the time being at least. The senate did as was expected. That gave all of them q chance to fsound public opinion and find the best strategic ground for the future. It was all comfort for the stand pat tariff men. It diverted at tention from the tariff revision that the republicans had promised, that Roosevelt demanded, and on which a score or more members were elected to congress last fall. The protected in- dustries saw their opportunity. They joined in an hysterical and hypocritical howl for railroad regulation, although most of them were beneficiaries of whatever railroad rebate system was in existence. They are clamorous still ..The railroads can take care of them- selves." said one of their spokesmen, 'and we can throw this rate regulation sand in the eyes of tariff reforming congressman until they can't see any thing else"

FRIDAY, APRIL 2S, 1905.

Writing on the joys and sorrows of prosperity New York staff writer says that the keenest source of per sonal happiness we find in things which belong to our life on earth is in right relations with those God has given us to love and care for. The mutual courtesies and helpfulness of the home, however poor it may be. are a joy which comes next to those which heaven offers us. But this the rich must forego almost entirely. They are encompassed by a throng of Ser
 wants, who anticipate every wish, and give no one chance to do any smaii kindness to the others of the family
