MEDALS FOR SHOOTERS
General Hughes Announces List of
Winners.

Adiutant General J. W. F. Hughes this
morning announced the award of Kansas
National Guard medals for the year 1905.
which are made result of the shoot
ing contests preliminary to the Sea Girt
shoot.
These contests give the brigade gold
medal to Sergeant Frank Parmelee and is
therefore equivalent to placing him at
the head of the marksmen in the guard.
Last year the medals were awarded for
brigade craftsmanship to the high men in
the regimental shoots. This was certain to
result in some men getting two medals
apiece. To obviate this difficulty each reg
iment had its own shoot this year and
after the men went to Sea Grit another
preliminary was held on the result of
which the brigade medals were awarded

In Columbia county Washington,
this week. a farmer sold 16 head of
mules, for $25OO. or an average of
i$156.22 per head, and yet there are
not more than three farmers in Una
tilla county who are raising mules
as a business. It costs no more to
keep a mule colt than it does a spot
ted cayuse, and when the mule colt
is mature ii is worth as much as its
mother. or an increase of 100 per cent
on the investment in a good mare.
There is no more favorable district i'm
the West for profitable investment i'm
this business than in Umatilla coun
ty. The stock is needed here, in the
wheat industry, and the range is to
be had for the taking. 1t is an in
vestment that should appeal more
readily to Umatil1a county stockmen.
There is a handsome income i'm the
business.

Advertising rates in any city are
just what the newspapers make them.
If the papers will do business on a
business basis and maintain an equal
rate for everybody, and refuse to
cut down to get business, the question
of rates and just compensation for
service will adjust itself. But if
makes a cut rate for one
man. i'm order to secure his business,
and makes another special rate to
another man, it demoralizes its busi-
ness, and soon its space becomes of
no value to any advertiser. Business
men would take it as u gross insult
for a newspaper to ask them to sell
it blankets and shoes at a less price
than that charged the general trade.
And yet newspapers will grant just
such inconsistent requests. insorder to
get advertising. When a newspaper
becomes the football of the public
to be kicked from one low price to a
still lower, its value is soon lost to
all advertisers and they waste money
when they patronize it.

THE IMPRINT OF THE PIONEER.

When such noblemen as j. NJ.
Church, of La Grande, pass from
earth. the country blessed by their
presence in life, suffers an actual
loss. To such sturdy pioneers is due
the stability of Western institutions,
and the sterling character that marks
Western business circles.
When j. NJ. Church, Captain Will
liam Martin. E. D. Stillman and other
pioneers came into the wilderness of
Eastern oregon. there were few law
years few courts of justice. few no
taries with their bonds and oaths to
bind and seal business transactions
but the integrity of such men had
need for but few of such things.
Their word of honor was always le-
gal tender, without the stamp of the
notary to bind it; their promise was
as good as the gold deposited in the
bank.
The influence and example of such
men left an inspiring and royal i'm
print on the. succeeding generation in
the West. The firm foundations they
laid in private and public institutions
bore everywhere the mark of their
individuality; the imprint of the plo-
neer passed current in all the centers
of trade and commerce on the Pacific
coast.
When J. NJ. church first began in
the mercantile business in Wallowa
county and Grand Ronde. it is said
that at times Portland wholesale
firms would send him merchandise
10 the amount of over $150,000 in
the course of the year. with no other
guarantee of their pay than an open
account and the word of ]. M.
Church. So great was the confidence
of the public in these splendid men
who settled the West, no other guar
antee was needed nor required,
Promptly, as the seasons rolled
around, the payments were made to
the cent, thus establishing still great
er credit for such men on the from
tiers, and leaving the indelible i'm
print of pioneer integrity on th'
growing state.
Young men who came in contac
with such men, and learned their bus
mess methods from them, imbibe'
that sterling honesty, became follow
ers of the patriarch pioneer. Thu
the imprint of those men is seen il
the business circles of the West, Il
politics, society, public institutions
and everywhere that character is re
quired or Integrity put to the test.

man in It. II has even been said that
nothing is bad unless there is wo-
man at the bottom of it. The fact is,
nothing is much of anything without
the eternal feminine. That's the way
we want ours. We want the girls in
it. We can't (can we? get along
without mothers. sisters. wives, sweet
hearts. Even the mother-in-law cuts
some ice. Sometimes she is joke;
sometimes she is the tragic focus; at
rare intervals she is the benediction
OF a mans life.
But the novel without woman in
it won't do. 1t is the fruit without
flavor, the flower without perfume.
Let's go step further and say that
the man into whose life and hopes
no woman enters. isn't much good.
1t may be his mother. his sister, or
some lost and sainted playmate of his
youth. but the man with red blood in
his veins and the vigor of immortal
ity in his heart can't get along with
out woman. Furthermore. he doesn't
want to get along without her.
To the waste basket with the girl
less novel. To the woods with the
man who never had "a girl"

SCOTTISH NEWSPAPERS.

There are plenty of cities I'm Scot

that do not possess as much as sin

newspapers are found only in towns
of 5000 and upward. Don't the peo-
pie read? They do, but a newspaper
that is sold for one cent or two cents
cannot be operated at a profit unless
the circulation runs up into six fig
ures, because the advertising patron
age is so small that the real profit

THE GERMAN JURY SYSTEM.

In this country a trial by jury
comes to a stop when one of the jury
men becomes incapacitated for service
by illness or from any other cause.
1t is then necessary to draw new
jury and hold another trial, in order
that IL men may hear all the testi-
mony and render a verdict
In Germany a system prevails
which does away with the possibility
of such delay and expense. In the
current issue of the Political Science
Quarterly there is u paper by Burt
Estes Howard on Trial by Jury in
Germany" in which 1t is stated that
in addition to the regular jury of II
men, one or more supplementary jury
men are drawn.
They sit with the regular jurors,
having equal rights and duties with
them, except in the single matter of
retiring for deliberation and partici-
pating in the finding of the verdict
after the counsel have summed up
and the judge has delivered his
charge.
But IL one of the original IL be-
comes incapacitated at any point dur
ing a trial, a supplementary juryman
takes his place and becomes fully in
vested with the functions of the one
who has retired, even to casting a vote
when the verdict is rendered.
Thus the jury is automatically kept
up to the required number and the
trial proceeds without interruption.
This arrangement seems so practi-
cal and sensible that it is a wonder
measures have not been taken look
ing to it's adoption in the United
States. Do our friends of the lega
profession perceive in it any objec
tions which would offset its NANTES
advantages?
