Locating Our BEST Americans"

Any particular person who Is dissat-
isfactfied with Americans as they
average and is searching for the
"best" OF the breed is directed to the
Pacific slope by Mr.. w. II. Page, who
writes in the Worlds Work on this
interesting topic, describing life in
the Pacific coast cities, Mr.. Page says:
THE surprise that a stranger finds
In the life of these cities is that the
struggle for financial success is not as
fierce as II has been in our young cities
of the middle west. Life seems less
intense than in Chicago, for instance,
or In Denver or Kansas City. II men
do not quite take it leisurely or easily,
they at least recognize that some JOY
in the journey is quite as good as the
prize at the end Of II. They do work,
but they play, too, and they take time
to enjoy themselves, to be hospitable,
TO travel, to consider other things as
we'll as the game of business.
Life here has its own kinds Of prov
incialism no doubt. 1t is long way
from New York and Washington, but
1t is long way also from the point of
view of New York or Washington or
Chicago. Yet there is grateful re-
lief also from the old prejudices and
from the provincialisms Of the eastern
states. The talk that you hear in the
clubs in New York and Boston and
Chicago seems very local and remote
when you get to the Pacific coast.
There is local gossip and small talk
a-plenty in the clubs of these Pacific
cities, but here big subjects seem
larger. You begin TO feel that the
United States is very much bigger
than IL seemed In New York. These
people have way, and that without
ooasting, of assuming that they and
not the eastern people are the masters
OF things-that the ultimate Ameri
can judgment will be their Judg
ment."

Uncle Sam Makes Money.
Machine Counts a Million Pennies
Day.

PORTLAND, Sept. ia million
pennies a day-that is the capacity OF
strange machine which Uncle sam
uses In the Philadelphia mint to count
the coin Of smallest value made by the
Government. The machine, known
as a counting table, is exhibited In the
Government building as a part OF
Uncle Sans S5OO.0O0 display on the
Peninsula in Guilds Lake at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition.
The counting board is about as
large as big kneading board such as
housewives use. The surface Of IL Is
wide enough to hold a row Of forty pen
MES. When the pennies are to be
counted, several thousand are heaped
onto the board. which Is placed above
hopper Then an operator tips the
board backward and forward, and
sideways so that the pennies slide
about, and finally settle in the grooves
made by the brass PARTITION strips.
When the board is full, there are 1000
pennies on 1t. 1t Is then dumped In
to a receptacle just outside the hop
per and the pennies are caught by a
box underneath.
Pennies are coined only at the Phil
adelphia mint, and the Government
finds the coming of them profitable,
because the value OF the metal they
contain is only about three-fourths Of
cent. The upsetting machine Is
another interesting mechanical con-
trivance. 1t Is used for turning the
edges of coins. The coin discs, of the
proper size and thickness but with
their edges still rough, are put into
tubes to fit them. These tubes are
placed upright beside round-topped,
revolving table. AT each revolution
OF the table, one OF the discs drops in
to a grove between the table and an
outer shell, and the pressure on the
edges of the disc makes them smooth.
Stamping the coins is the last pro-
cess, and this is done by means of a
great machine which weighs 10 tons
and costs $4,000. There are twenty.
four such machines In the Philadelph-
la mint. The discs which are to
be coins are placed in tube, as in the
cast of the upsetting machine. Two
steel fingers take hold of the bottom
disc, and move 1t over to the die.
Then the die above presses down on
the disc, so that the impression is
made on both sides. AT the same
time, the edges Of the disc are milled
and when the upper die raises, the
steel fingers push the finished coir
out of the way and bring disc into
position.

1T is not the desire of this paper to
be a knocker. We desire to be the
opposite, but when things exist that
are harmful TO the citizens OF this
city or county, we deem IL our place
to speak of them. The water in Little
Logan, running through this city, is
not pure and the people living adjacent
thereto should not drink the water.
If persons desiring to remedy this evil
will call at this Office they can be
shown rotten potatoes and decayed
apples that have been dumped upon
the banks Of the river so that the
seepagc of this decayed matter runs
into the stream. Such things as these
lead to typhoid and other dread
diseases. Other conditions could be
improved along this same stream.
This violation OF the law is an
outrage, and should be stopped.

Immigration during the year from
Austria Hungary-Slavs OF the labor
ing class almost entirely-was greater
than the whole number Of immigrants
into this country in either 1897 or
1898. Italy furnished us with 22l, l79.
The immigration of slavs alone dur
ing the year was greater than the
combined immigration from all OF the
countries of Northern Europe, which
formerly furnished this country the
bulk of it's immigrants. There are
more slavs than Frepchmen, Danes,
Germans, Norwegians, Swedes or ma
tives of the United Kingdom COM
bined There we're more Italians
than there we're Scandinavians, Ger
mans, Epglshmen or Irishmen among
the immigrants. 6s2,O69 Of the new
immigrants were from the three couD-

Russia.

RUSH OF IMMIGRATION.

During the fiscal year ending with
June 30, there arrived in the United
States the unprecedented number OF
l,027,52l immigrants, over 100000
more than entered the country in the
previous year. Ten years ago the
number of alien immigrants was but
one'quarter as large as 10 was during
the past fiscal year, and In 1897 and
1898 the number was even smaller

As OTHERS See Us.

We often observe in life worldly sue
cess awarded to men undeservedly and
without principle. The trickster can
be seen crowned with political and
public honors, the swindler rolling In
wealth, with a palatial residence TO
live in surrounded by all the appoint
ments that the heart could desire.
The scoundrel who disobeys every
moral law and in many cases the liber-
tine who cunningly manages to keep
himself out of the clutches OF stain
tory laws carry off the prizes Of
wealth and position. These examples
are more or less demoralizing TO the
young and somewhat of q puzzle and
to many, strong Temptations comes to
emulate the examples Of those who
are devoid of integrity in every sense
Of the word. The young man should
remember that while such things exist
they are not the rule but the eXcep-
tion, and in this world there is much
room where integrity and honor abide.
Positions OF trust may be sought for
by disreputable men, but these posi-
tions never seek this kind Of individ-
uals. Integrity and honor are the
foundation OF all that Is high and en-
nobling in mankind and they are never
worth so much to us as when we have
lost the last dollar on earth to keep
them. A man, failing in business and
is forced TO the wall, who turns out
his last dollar TO satisfy his creditors,
this individual has something left in
stock that will be worth far more
than money TO him. He will bear the
reputation OF being upright in his
dealings, paying his debts as far as he
has the ability TO do so. That mar

LOST OPPORTUNITIES.

BY observance through life, IL Is
noticed that men who succeed there
in, have the foresight to embrace OPP
portunities when presented, and IT is
often heard that such men were born
lucky. On the other hand there are |
men who fail to grasp advantages
when presented, and they do not sue
coed and of this class IL is often said
they are unlucky and unfortunate.
To this latter class Logan city right
fully belongs. Years ago the railroad
work shops were in this city. Over.
lures were made the city by railroad
officials asking certain concessions for
the railroad company that the shops
might be rebuilt One OF them was
for Logan city to grant the railroad
company free water for 10 years, and
give them forty acres of land west OF
town. The company would agree to
rebuild the shops and keep about two
hundred men employed for twenty
years. Logan city would and did not
make tho concessions. The result was
the shops were moved to Idaho Falls,
aad from there, TO their present loca-
tion, Pocatello. A few years later the
main line was taken from this side and
Logan, with the principal settlements
OF Cache county, were placed on a
spur where they now are. 1t is need
less to enumerate the disadvantages
we have been placed under since the
change. They are apparent TO all
who have lived in this city long
enough TO note the perceptible change.
Logan's failure to advance this pro-
position is an instance where an OPP
portunity was allowed to pass which
meant hundreds OF thousands Of dol

Protecting americans.

The Venezuelan misunderstanding demonstrates
how easily the diplomatic relations between two
friendly nations may be strained It also shows
how domineerng a powerful nation can be over a
weaker one. AS Americans, those Venezuelan pro-
oters are entitled to the protection of this country
but if they are awbreakers and have plotted to
throw President Castros government they should be
compelled to abide by the fortune Of war. Graft,
whether at home or abroad, should be censured.
Sharp practices are becoming so common that they
are beginning to be recognized legitimate. This
is what Castro accuses the asphalt company of do
ing. Being promised more favorable terms by the
revolutionists they used their gold and influence to
bring about change. Since the enterprise proved
a failure and the government withdrew its conces-
sions they now demand protection and asking
for square deal. The president should send a
trusted secret messenger to Venezuela to ascertain
the facts before sending warships. Might should
not humble right

Invading China.

JAPAN had hardly emerged victorious from her
present when she begun the process of benev-
olent assimilation on the Chinese The conquest is
to be by moral suasion Thousands of traders,
preachers, and teachers invading the Flowery
Kingdom to cultivate amicable relations between the
two nations Their persistence and indefatigable at
tenton to duty will cause the Chinese to welcome
them with enthusiasm. AS an ally the Chinese will
prove valuable aid to the japanese, especially after
the Japs have taught them few lessons in modern
enterprise An alliance between these two nations
will have powerful influence in abating the desire
of European countries for Chinese territory.

our PO6UIUnl.

CONSIDERING the number of alleged criminal
and detective stories which are appearing in the
magazines it looks as tho the reading public had
developed taste for such literature. AS rule the
magazines with few exceptions, cater to the popular
demand Periodicals seldom force Objectionable
reading matter upon their readers. Hence the in
crease of stories appertaining to crime and the de-
lection of criminals. This demand caused the
temperance of Sherlock Holmes, the publication Of
innumerabe detective Stories and "Rafles," the
called gentleman burglar. And one of the
magazines is printing history of the Pinkerton
Detective Agency This article gives a concise
sketch of the founder of the organization which is
now celebrated the world over. It tells how this
master thief catcher became detective, the methods
pursued in tracing criminals, and other inside nfor-
nation of value to those unacquainted with the
elaborate system of this agency.
These detective stories will harm one, as the
authors invariably cause their villains to be detected
and make Justice triumphant But this cannot be
said of "Rafaes In these stories the lawbreaker is
heroized and made success. The publication print
ING these articles shows lack of ethics in accepting
such MATERIAL and the influence which these sue
cessful exploits create is anything but commendable

wastebasket.
