dividual owner of mines and lands in
South Africa.

hardly seated himself when a young

the old song: "Oh. why do you wait

Eaton's Neck on the Sylph before
dark The beach was found the most
available place to pitch camp and after
the usual jolly evening around the fire
and sleep time came. the party rolled
up in summer coverings and went TO
sleep.
Then came the rain. The Sylphs
landing boats had been pulled up on
the shore and overturned, sailor-like.
When the rain came the boys were
the first to wake. They hurriedly beat
a retreat to- the overturned boats
where they remained during the storm.
The President, DR.. Lambert and Lieu
tenant Bulmer had no shelter and sim
ply rolled tighter in their blankets and
took the wetting.
President Roosevelt Tuesday did
some good hard farming. He pitched
and moved a load of hay just in time
to save 1t from terrific thunderstorm
which swept Long Island.

ELKS WELCOMED.
Official Ceremonies at Tabor Opers
House in Denver.

Denver.-Members of the great or
ganization, Benevolent Protective Or.
der of Elks, have been officially well
coined to Denver and the state of Col
o1ado Ever since they first began arriv-
ing they have been made to feel that
they are welcome. Now they have been
told so by the governor of the state,
the mayor of the city and the official
representatives of Denver lodge. This
formality occurred Monday night at
the Tabor Grand opera house in the
sresence of mighty audience.
In a few hours of the morning the
Duntings that had been disarranged by
the rains were quickly put in order
and the decorating of houses and
stores vent on at rapid rate. The
streets were packed and jammed with
people from an early hour until well
into night.
BY the chairman of the Elks' recep-
tion committee at the depot, who has
made a special effort to keep. count on
the number of arrivals, it was stated
at 10 o'clock Monday night that 10000
people had passed through the city's
gates since Friday. This was his es,
innate of the number of visitors who
had come to Denver to attend the con
vention. Other estimates place the
number at $4,000, and this may be re-
garded as conservative.
In the opinion of those who have
been assigned to the depot, 1t is stated
that approximately 10000 visitors will
be brought to Denver for the conven-
ton, as the rush of visitors will not
cease until after Thursday night. at
the latest.

MUST PUT IN NO WRITING.

Just now people are beginning
to send Christmas packages to
their friends and relatives at dis
tance through the mails, and do
ing so it would be we'll for them
to acquaint themselves with the
postal laws for Uncle Sens agents
are watching them like a haulk
does chicken that it wishes to
devour. According to the postal
laws there must be no writing what
ever, except the name and greet.
ing of the sender, in any package
sent as merchandise. If one wishes
to enclose letter, or even a short
message in a package he must pay
letter rates on the entire package.
The penalty of violation of this
law is fine of ten dollars.
The postothce inspector is privi-
legged to open and inspect any pack
age that he suspects may contain
writing, and if he finds in the
package any writing except the
name and greeting he goes after
the sender with sharp stick and
there is no way of getting out of
paying the fine. You must pay
the fine or go to Jail.
No package of merchandise sent
through the mails should be sealed.
The package should be in condi-
tion that the inspector may exam.
inc it without breaking it open.
BY observing these rules people
who desire to send Christmas pre-
sents to their friends abroad may
avoid paying ten dollar fine on a
one dollar article.

ALFALFA LAND PROFITABLE.
Madras Pioneer.

Some idea of the value of lands
which can be brought under irriga-
tion and made to produce alfalfa may
be had from the statement that during
the present season, since the first of
the year, about $50 head of beef cat
tie have been fed on the Trout creek
alfalfa ranches between Douthlt's
and the Lyle & Brown ranch, for de
livery to Portland markets. This mar
row strip along Trout creek and in
Guiding the lower end of Hay creek,
probably in all not to exceed seven
miles, contains more prosperous
ranches than can be found. in any
other section of equal size in this
portion of the state.
The yield of alfalfa, upon these
ranches is enormous, and in past years
when public range was plentiful these
were the home ranches and winter
quarters of stockmen engaged in run
ming stock cattle. But the shortage of
range, owing to the encroachments
of the farmer and sheepman, has
gradually brought about changes until
now this section is turning to the
beef industry, feeding beef for the
Portland market. In this manner
they are able to get SO per ton out of
their alfalfa hay, at which figure the
Trout creek ranches prove veritable
gold mine.
During the present season beef cattle
have been delivered or contracted for
early delivery by the following ranch
ers: BidweIl Cram, $50 head; Willis
w. Brown. 200 head; E. q. Bolter,
150 head; Harry Douthit, so head,
making total of $50 head Of I beef
sold to the Portland mark ct from that
section alone.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1906-03-27

clearly apparent during the course of
the argument. The courts decision,
however, until appealed against and
reversed by higher court, must be
accepted, unsatisfactory though it is
to all but the group of millionaire
packers who are chuckling together
over the protection granted to them
by the immunity law.
Followed out to its natural con-
clusion, that law, if the decision of
Judge Humphrey holds good, will
enable all trust magnates to evade
personal liability for infractions of
the trust law. All they have to do
when threatened with proceedings is
to run down to Washington, tell
few things about their business to the
department of justice and they i'm
mediately become immune.
That an appeal from Judge Hum
phrey's decision will be taken is, of
course, to be expected. And it does
not seem reasonable, as a matter of
ustice, that his decision should be sus-
tanned. If it is upheld, then there
can only be regret that Commissioner
Garfield, in his inexperience, should
have placed the packers in position
to claim and obtain the immunity.

JOY OF BEEF TRUST wAGNATEa,
Spokesman Review.

OpUh6Sludu-N0N
What pleasing picture to look up
on--that of the big packing trust
magnates rubbing their hands in glee
and congratulating one another on
having wriggled out of the clutches
of the law. These men, upon whom
personally should be visited the pen
atty for violations of antitrust law,
escape through technical interpreta-
tion of the law, and now laugh at
the efforts of the government to hold
them responsible. 1t is not difficult to
imagine the sensations of District At
torney Morrison as he sat in court
with bowed head Immediately after
the rendering of the decision and re-
fleet on the blow which has been
given to the attempt to get at the
fountain head of the unjust burden
under which the public is made to
groan.
The decision may be strictly in ac-
cordanee with the law. Upon that
point layman is not competent to
pronounce. But it is significant that
District Attorney Morrison was
thoroughly in earnest when he said;
II have argued the case as saw the
law, and thought my view was cor
rect" And that Attorney General
Moody took the same view was made
