The annual meeting and election
of directors of the Roswell CONNER
cial Club, held last night in the
rooms of that organization, was at

members and some interesting facts
were brought out during its prog
ress. There were three directors
whose terms expired. c. G. Tame
hill was reelected. H. c. Hurd and
G. w. DeFreest were elected new H.
rectors. Three of the directors are
supposed to go out each year. there
being nine in the whole board. The
new beard will meet Thursday night
at $3.50 to elect officers.
The report of Secretary ]. A. Gra-
ham was an interesting document.
1t shows that the Club is in splendid
financial condition and recounts
he became secretary. 1t shows that
as a public benefit. the Club could
hardly be surpassed in its good
works
The Club has 15S members in good
standing. 1t is hoped that by 1906.
with the assistance of the members.
this number will be increased to
$50. With the Club boosting all the
time. the members hope to increase
Roswell's population TO 10000 by the
year 1910.
The Roswell Commercial Club was
organized as a social institution in
March, 1894. 1t then had 43 mem
bers. E A. Cahoon was president
and j. F. Hinkle secretary 1t contin
ued as a social organization until
six months ago. when it was made
a combination social and commercial
club and the name was changed 20
Roswell Commercial Club. The mem
bership has increased since then from
60 to 15s. Thus, as commercial
institution its greatest success has
been attained.

New and Important Step.

ST. Petersburg, June 21-Presidenr
Roosevelt has taken a new and i'm
portant step in the negotiations be.
tween the belligerents. While there
are collateral reasons for believing
that it relates to an armistice which
will prevent the impending battle in
Manchuria, this cannot be positively
affirmed. All that can be stated def
initely is that Ambassador Meyer
went suddenly to the foreign office
late last night and had an interview
with Foreign Minister Lamsdorff. at
which it is believed the Ambassador
communicated an important message
from President Roosevelt, but neither
at the foreign office nor at the Amer
lean embassy is the slightest light
thrown upon what transpired.

Eating No Joke.

Eating not pleasant, not an elevat-
ing subject? No subject under the
blue canopy, no subject to be found be-
tween the covers of the latest ency-
clopadia, is more worthy of the deep
est and the highest and most sus stained
thoughts of man. And probably no
other subject receives half the atten-
ton which is given to eating. Nothing
has been more important in the progress
of the race than the additions to the
variety of mans food. In his primitive
state, a mere clam-eater, he was hardly
superior to the beasts that perish
When he became hunter, seeking the
strong meats of wild game, he develop
ed new qualities, expanded intellectu-
ally, and gained in energy, enterprise,
and endurance. Then came the pas
toral and agricultural age, with an ac-
quired taste for vegetable growthS, and
the dawn of civilization. Every ad-
vance has been on the heels of some
thing new to eat. To-day the teeth of
man declare him to be omniyorous,
though vegetable food is still a heavy
tax on his powers of digestion. He
lacks those multiple gastric arrange
ments by the aid of which the COW, for
example, is able to subsist on vegetable
food alone. This lack Senior Santos
will discover aud deplore long before
he shall acquire that meditative cUd,
the mastication of which gives to the
COW the serenity and Iepose which is
the object of the SpaniaId'S grazing

Summer Boarders.

What summer boarders have done
for New Hampshire is shown by Gov
ernor Batchelder of that State in
statistics which have special interest
for the State of Maine. Taking 80
New Hampshire towns basis for COM
putation Governor Batchelder figures
out that in these 30 towns the summer
boarders have increased from $4,000 in
1890 to 1913, 900 in 1904. Last year the
summer boarders spent $780, 900,
against 81, AIS, 900 in 1890. For their &C
commodation there have been estab-
lished in the II years 149 summer hotels
and Y boarding houses. Then, too,
the summer visitors have bought dur
ing this period 1928 summer homes at
cost of over 100000 and laid out
1868, 900 for improvements. These
figures make an impressive showing of
the value to New Hampshire of its
rapidly growing summer business.
Maine has also made great strides in
the same direction, and yet it has
made only a beginning compared with
it's possibilities. How to make the
most of its advantages and opportuni-
ties as the finest summer resort State
of the Union, is one of the most
practical and important questions now
before the people of Maine.-Portland

French fashion. It is related that
when he first made his appearance as a
senator in the Federal Congress he was
the butt of considerable ridicule on ac-
count of his grotesque appearance.
One of his many claims to originality
was that whenever he prepared to
make a speech, he would first take off
his shoes and place them on top of his
desk and then put on a pair of black
kid gloves. How much truth there is
in this l cannot say; 81 tell the tale as
twas told to me-" Now he takes the
same delight in leading the latest fash
ion that he does in leading the dance.
A certain amount of knowledge is
supposed to be necessary for the ruler
of country. Castro's utter lack of
book learning is we'll illustrated by an
incident which occurred at late New
Years reception in the federal palace.
The minister from Holland presented
to the President fellow-countryman
who was travelling in Venezuela for
scientific purposes. The President
asked where he came from and when
the visitor replied that his home was in
Holland, at Amsterdam, the capital of
the Netherlands, the Presidents man
ner instantly cooled from cordiality to
stiffness. Holland, Netherlands, :"
muttered The little President, "Ah, |
know them. They are little depend
ency of Curacao. | have been having
good deal Of trouble with that island
lately. l hope that in Holland you be-
have better than in Curacao
Castro's Cabinet are mostly his old
cronies and observation-disclosures. The
Secretary of the Treasury, the witty
ex-muleteer, Tello Mendoza, is his
right hand man. The Secretary of
State is an ex-barber, who piled his
trade in Valencia-not the Valencia
across the sea, but the little town in
Venezuela. But Castro has no real
need of cabinet advisers, being emf
nently law unto himself. These old
chums of his hold office simply as fig
ureheads, for the money that for them
there is in it, and not one of them
would dare to gainsay the will of the
master or to offer so much as sugges-
ton. FANNIE B. WARD.

Clean Streets in Calais.

The streets of the city were never in
better condition than at present, and
they should be kept that way. All who
have rubbish to rid themselves of,
whether from the house or the store,
must have a care that it does not find
its way into the street or upon the side
walk, as this method, much less being
civilized at all, is serious hindrance
to the efforts of the road commissioner,
who is doing his best along the line of
keeping the city clean. Perhaps good
plan would be for the city to place big
rubbish receptacles along the street in
the business section, as is done in many
cities, thereby keeping great deal of
paper and other waste matter off the
road and out of the gutters.-Calais
Times.

The Boon of Self Education.

''To give a boy the best of all op-
portunities-the opportunity for sell
education-turn him loose in a library. -
advises Prof. George Edward Wood
berry, writing of Sir Walter Scott in
the June McClure's:
Scott, he says, chad the education
of the school as a thing of course, and
it was valuable to him; but he illus
trates the facts that to turn a boy
loose in library is to give him the test
of all opportunities opportunity
for self-education. He read from
childhood widely and well, and while
yet boy had such an acquaintance
with great literature as would now
seem phenomenal, though it was pre-
cisely the same as that which genera
ton later New England boys had at
the same age, if they were so inclined

Written for The Republican Journal
On the Shore.

The mist falls silent on the sleeping sea,
And through its screen half hidden sails
are seen,
Which at the dawning lay so near to me
That one might step across the space
between;
But now upon the boundless deep they
ride,
And every instant farther from me glide.
Then could | count their every spar and
shroud,
And read the names emblazoned on their
hulls,
But now they are far off snowy cloud,
A flock of white winged. slowly flying
gulls,
As farther from my ken they creep away
And vanish from me ere the closing day.
So is it with the friends and joys of man
The things we care Tor most are first to
60,
And then we struggle on as best we can
While life's grim tide slow turns from
ebb to flow;
And we are desOlate and far removed
From all our youth has cared for and has
loved.

Logging in OREGON.

Interesting Working Exhibit in Fore.trv
Building at Lewis and Clark Exnos;.
ton Shows How Big Trees are raksr
to Mill. A'"
PORTLAND, O., June 1. Visitors
from the east and the middle-west NAV
study the methods of logging in the bip
forests of Washington and Oregon in
an interesting working exhibit at tho
Lewis and Clark Exposition. The OK
hibit occupies large space in one cor
ner of the Forestry building. an i'm
mense log palace made of forest giants
which is in itself an exhibit of the for.
est wealth of the Pacific northwest,
A miniature forest, which is an exact
reproduction on a small scale of tho
mighty forests which cover large part
of the Oregon country, forms the
groundwork for the display, which has
been installed by the Lidgerwood Man
ufacturing Company of New York
City. There are real fir trees, no big
ger than rose bushes, in the forest, and
the trees are growing in real earth,
while river of real water flows down
the hillside.
The exhibit is intended to show how
the logs are brought to mill, and every
step from stump to mill is shown. In
one corner of the space, a miniature
skidding and loading engine, operated
by electricity, has been installed. This
engine operates a skidder, by means of
which the logs are lifted from the
ground and loaded on to cars. A geared
locomotive, also run by electricity,
draws the train which takes the cars to
the mill.
Another interesting feature of log
ging operations is shown by miniature
log handling galloway The logs are
taken from the cars, transported across
a river, and unloaded into log pond at
the mill. The same device may be used
for transporting logs from one part of a
mill yard to another. The galloway

spans the space over which the logs are
to be transported. The whole appara-
tus is shown in miniature, one-twelfth
the actual size, and cross section of a
river bed, with water, is included in the
exhibit.
a third model in this interesting log
ging display is of machine for load
ing logs on trains. This machine picks
up the logs from beside the track, and
lays them on fiat cars as easily as if
they were tooth picks. The method of
swinging derrick by means of swing
ing gear is illustrated by another ma
chine, which is built one-twelfth the
regular size.
The various machines and hosting
apparatus shown in the exhibit of the
New York company are in use in the
south, but have not been introduced
extensively in the west, where less
modern methods are still largely in use.
The Oregon forests alone according to
estimates made by leading authorities,
contain 10000, 900, 600 feet of standing
timber, board measure. The trees of
the forests of the Pacific northwest are
for the most part much larger than
those Of the forests of other sections
One of the logs which compose the
Forestry building at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition is eight feet in diam 2
ter and weighs thirty-two tons.

QUEER FACTS FROM THE TROPICS.

There are two insects in the Malayan
States of form 80 peculiar as to gain
tn EN- the peculiar title of "spectres.
One is the "ieaf'' insect which exactly
resembles leaf of the mango tree in
size and thickness, bearing all its
delicate markings and veinings. The
other is the stick insect, which is an
exact duplicate of small piece of dried
tWig, some seven or eight inches long.
A species of sea slug found in the
waters of the Orient greatly resembles
cucumber in size and color. Under
the name of Bicho-de- Mar it forms an
article of export, much relished by the
Chinese.
The small house lizards, which are
numerous in The tropics, shed their
tails when caught or badly frightened.
Frequently, when the new caudal ap-
pendage grows out again it comes in
blfurcated shape and the small animal
is then considered mascot by the
superstitlouS natives.
The natives of North Borneo convert
a long bamboo into an 4EOlian harp by
cutting slots in the bamboo above each
joint, setting it up so as to easily turn
on its axis, and keeping the apertures
constantly facing the wind by means
of a rudder or fantail similar to that
used on an American windmill. The
music from this harp on a windy day
is most pleasing, the notes from the
larger holes giving deep organ tone
unapproached by any other instrument.
A species of cockroacl found in the
Philippine Islands attains the length of
two inches. 1t is an omniverous eater
and will devour calomel with as great
gusto as it will leather, canvass, paper
and other similar materials.
A vegetable pearl found in cocoanuts
is frequently of good size and color,
and is hard to distinguish from the
oyster pearl They consist of pure
carbonate of lime without trace of
salts or other vegetable matter The
natives of North Borneo wear them as
a charm against disease and evil spirits.

The Backyard Farmer.

And now the backyard farmer
Rises early every morn,
To plant the dubious radish,
And the lettuce, and the corn.
He is most enthusiastic,
And he's up at half past five,
To hoe, and weed, and water,
And see how the onions thrive.
He is dreaming of the summer,
When the green peas will be ripe,
And he can have fresh salads
With his roast beef and his tripe.
He is thinking of the autumn,
And the big potato crop,
And he hoes, and weeds, and waters,
Till he really hates to stop.
He hoes, and weeds, and waters,
And the perspiratiOn flows
Like river from his forehead,
And it drips down off his nose.
Happy, happy backyard farmer,
With his plantlets and his seeds,
Though his crop this year,. as always,
Will be principally weeds!
