Power of Silence.

If you can he silent without en-
barrassment. that is the best test
of friendship. Some people feel
as though they must always talk
when they are with another and
entertain with their chatter. This
may be all right with casual ac-
quaintance Or person whose mind
is ordinarily vacant, but it is not
necessary with a real friend who
understands. -
Silence in the presence ofspoth'
er is a great testimony to that 9th
er's capacity for thinking. Dc
not think you have got to talk al
the time in order to be agreeable
and to influence another's mind
There is no power so impressive
and strong as silence which ha
back of real mental force and char
acter.
There is good DEP in the ide'
of thought transference, aftef all
1t is just as easy to create a men
tai atmosphere as it is a moral at
mosphere. Try to influence th
people with whom you come il
contact more by thought than b,
the power of speech.

Londun's OuteastS.

On the night of January % of

spectors of the London county
council took kind of census of
London outcasts. Between l and
5 o'clock in the morning from
Hyde park to Whitechapel and
Holborn to the Thames they coun-
ted 1909 men and 1SS women walk
ing the streets withou, place to
sleep, or sleeping in doorways.
On the basis of these figures, gath
cred in four hours observations,
the officers estimated that one per-
son in every 2000 in London was a
homeless outcast. And among the
1887 wretched wanderers thus
counted fifty were little children.

Mr.. Bryan is apparently going
to lead the radical element of his
party for a while longer. He is
now just as enthusiastic over the
public ownership question as be
was a few years ago over free sill
YER. As usual Bryan is at the ex-
treme end of a social economical
question and has already blased
out a short cut across the vista of
universal custom and the self pre-
servative instincts of mankind and
ssks the American people to fol-
low him in topractieals alsocialism fast
er than they are prepared to 90.
While we believe in thedoctrine that
the producer should reap the full
fruits of his industry and remain
in the enjoyment thereof; that there
should be restraint upon the cen
tralization of wealth, and its even
distribution among those who ere
ate it, we realize there is no short
cut to the fu!tilIment of these theo-
ries. The Democratic party with
Bryan at the bead can not rush us
into the Utopia of universal equal
hy, nor can any other party. The
people are growing wiser with
each generation and with the
growth of wisdom they move for
ward of their own accord.

found d Hidden Mine.


Peoples Banner, published at
Be!leview in Iron comfy, claims to
have discovered an old hidden mine
on his farm at Belleview. He says:
1t is no small affair, but an eX-
tensive system Of tunnels, or
"drifts" with an elaborate main en-
trance chisled ont of the solid lime
stone. The structure, if carved
rock NAV be called structure, is
about twelve feet high and stands
out separately from the ledge of
rock.
The front is narrow and for
about fifteen feet has single drift.
At this distance the rock widens, a
cross-cut tunnel goes east Il few
feet and another drift runs north
ward parallel with the the first.
There is also an exit at the east
side leading to an open space, the
bottom of which followed out in
the shape of a canoe and was prob
ably used as a washing vat. Back
of this is a small room carved out
of the rock which forms part of
the main entrance. There is an
other OPEN space back of this from
which the dirt is not yet re-
moved.
At the east side of these open
spaces and about ten feet from the
main entrance is an oval shaped
rock to which there is no front en-
trance. A side entrance will like
Iy be found from the open space
back of the little room when the
dirt is removed.
A few feet further east is anoth-
er drift running parallel with the
others. 1t has been traced back
about sixty feet, and the end has
not been sighted.
All drifts are packed with mud.
and as yet the end of neither of
them has been reached. l have
sighted what | believe to be a
cross-cut tunnel which has been
worked wider than the leads and
caved in, The surface indicates
this.
The mine is at the foot of a long
steep hill, and opens into a gulch.
the bed of which has been cut oul
to depth of ten Or twelve feet
The tunnels were driven at this
depth. Eventually the dirt from
the mountain filled this cut-ou'
space to the level of the origina
bed which extends even with tht
last tunnel and also forced its way
into the open tunnels, leaving bu
a small hole in the aforementioned
entrance, which has always beer
Ispoken of as a cave and never in
vestigated. The exterior of th'
mines were covered with dirt wash
ed down from the hill, leaving
small porsion of the main entranc
! exposed in such manner as to in
dicate that it was projecting
point of an undisturbed ledge o
limestone.
| As to the origin of the mine an

all sailing vessels is tremendous
item of itself.
Owing TO the strong ocean cur
rents which compel vessels from
Oriental ports to go far to the
northeast on their eastern voyage
until off the coast of Washington,
Aberdeen is about 400 miles nearer
those ports than is San Francisco;
LIZ miles nearer than is Seattle,
and 159 nearer than is Portland.
At present Aberdeen has but one
railroad-the Northern Pacific, but
who can doubt the coming of others
when the advantages Of terminals
here is considered. For shipments
east by rail Aberdeen is accord
ed rates identical with those given
Puget Sound ports. The amount Of
lumber sent to the middle western
states from Aberdeen at present Is
only limited to the number Of cars
that can be provided by the rail-
road. This inland trade is certain
to assume enormous proportions in
the near future.
