Senator Clay, of Georgia, is
going after the future dealers.
Believing as do many others.
that the gam bling in cotton is
largely responsible for the fuct-
uations in the priceof the South S
commodity, he has introduced a
bill in Congress. which. if it be-
comes a law, will serve effectuaL
" to stop this form of gam bling.
He has offered an amendment TO
the postoffice bill which denies
the use of the mails to those en-
gagged in future dealing and it is
said that the bill is carefully
drawn and meets all Of the OBJ
jections which caused the defeat
of this kind of Legislation in for
mer Congresses. The amend
ment is in line with the recon
mendations of the recent cotton
convention and it will have a
strong sentiment behind it the
country over.

the North it was particularly Sc
we're, the thermometer going be
low the zero mark. Railway traf-
fic all over the country, tele-
grapic communication and street
car traffic was suspended while
the weather caused intense suf-

South got its share of the ele-

The county tax sale which this
paper is at present advertising
is very small one when the size
and population of our county is
considered. 1t shows two things
cOnclusively. The people of this
section are more prosperous
than they have ever been before
and hence their taxes are well
paid up and the small list is also
a testimonial to Sheriff Eggles-
ton s ability as a collector. 1t

ANYTHING.

Experience is valuless if we
learn nothing from it. The les
son which our people learned
from the snow and sleet of last
week should prepare them for
the melting Of the present snow
and everything should be done
which will guard against leaks
and overfows. Roofs should be
swept, gulleys, valleys and down
pipes cleaned and all merchan-
disc should be protected. Get
ready for the thaw.

FARM FOR SILVER FOXES.
Rare Alaska Animals to Be Bred For
 Their Furs.


 Joseph J. Harrison of Philadelphia, who is connected with fur corpora tion, is in Livingston. Mon.. for the purpose, he says, of studying the eli matic conditions of Park county with view to establishing farm for the breeding of silver foxes in this locality, says Livingston special dispatch to the St. Louis Republic. He says the company he represents already has such farm in Alaska. but the com pany wishes to experiment with the fur of animals bred in a milder eli mate.
 .Of small animals" said Mir. Harri- son. discussing the project, by far the most valuable pelt is that of the nearly extinct silver fox. The company l represent makes a business of breed ing animals for their pelts. but until short time ago we never attempted to raise the silver fox. as the animal Is very difficult to capture and as it usually does not thrive in captivity. We have however. a small number of the little animals on an Alaskan farm. It has been suggested that perhaps a finer quality Of fur could be raised in a milder climate. and it seems to me that the conditions in Park county are favorable for the experiment"

AN EDUCATIONAL MOVE.
PreceptOrial system to Make Col~
 leEes Interesting,

| PreceptOrial system to Make Cols | 1eges Interesting.
 The object of the preceptorial sys-
 tenn adopted at Princeton university is to prevent the disintegration of the | university, it's disintegration in that
 essential feature of all vital teaching,j
 the intimate acquaintance and contact
 of pupil and teacher, says Woodrow,
 Wilson, president of Princeton univerL
 sity, in Harper's Weekly. Mere in- crease of numbers separates them. As a university grows in numbers profess
 ors and students draw apart, have
 hardly a speaking acquaintance with
 one another.
 The large university, teeming with
 hundreds of growing youngsters, ought
 not to forego this fruitful process of comradeship if 1t can possibly get the
 advantage of 1t by any feasible ar engagement
 It Is Princeton's plan, with this ob- ject In view, to add at once to her teaching force, to add fifty ''precept- ors," as she will call them for want of better name, whose special duty 1t shall be to deal with their pupils out side of the classroom. The preceptors are to be members of the faculty, not distinguishable from the rest in rank and privilege, and the present mem- bers of the faculty are to undertake preceptorial work in order that the new and closer contact may be brought about all along the line, but for the new men the preceptorial work will be the chief function It will be their duty to take the students in the several departments, either singly or in groups. and by every serviceable method give them counsel, guidance and stimulation in their work.
 Dull men and very bright and am- bilious men they will probably have to take singly. Groups will have to be made up by careful classification. com bining men of like training. acquire ments and aptitudes. But the object will be always the same-not to hear 'recitations" on fixed text books. but to discuss, 10 sift. to test. the reading done by the men in their several courses, so that the men may feel that the preceptors are in some sense sheir fellow students and friendly guides in their outside reading. the reading by which lectures are to be supplemented md the more formal discussion of the classroom broadened and made part of m independent scheme of study.

Rev. H. s. Wallace, From Portland

 New York's Financial District-He
 Plans a "Promised Land" In the
 Heart of the willamette Valley. Wall street is interested in the
 scheme of Methodist minister from | the west to float $5O,0OO,OOO in bonds | for the establishment of a great reli- gious community in Oregon to be called the Cooperative Christian federation, says the New York Herald. Arriving in New York from Port land. Ore, several months ago, the Rev. H. S. Wallace made the rounds of the financial district, explaining the details of the enterprise with such success that the Title Guarantee and Trust Company of New York has con- scented to become trustee for the $5O,- 100000 mortgage if Mir. Wallace can interest sufficient number of wealthy subscribers to purchase the site for the settlement in Oregon.
 It is proposed to locate the communi- ty in the heart of the Willamette val ley, which, according to the prospec- tus of Mir. Wallace. has never been in- vaded by chinch bugs or grasshoppers, where roses bloom every month in the year and where in January the grass is 4s green as it is in June in the east ern states
 In speaking of the religious aspect of the Cooperative Christian federation MT. Wallace said:
 "The federation is not the church or a church, nor does 1t claim to speak by the authority of any church. It is an effort to answer the charge made that the church has no salvation or benefits for the life that now is; that she is In an alliance with the rich and offers nothing to the laborer and the poor.
 Tt Is an organized effort to amelio- rate present conditions by helping each person to help himself, dividing oppor- tunities, but not property. Our main effort Is so to readjust the relations of capitalist and labor as to destroy the antagonism now existing by bringing these two forces together in Christian cooperation.
