The Fallen.

Hark a bugle winds shrill
Ger the brow of the hill,
At whose base stygian waters outpour;
IT'S our comrades, beyond sight,
Signal back through the night
TO the few who are left on this shore.
Old Charon oars free
Our brave hosts through the sea,
As they, prompt TO the bugle, respond
How his boat rocks and rolls,
With the weight of their souls,
VINO are linked with Affections strong
bond.
To the blue and the gray
Gives he each right of way,
And a chaplet of glory as well;
Since nobly they fought
Each as honor had taught,
And nobly. as heroes. they fell.

There are SASS miles of public
road In the state OF Oregon. OF which
22s5 miles are surfaced with gravel.
20s miles with stone and 145 miles
with plank. making a total of 1859
miles of improved road.
II will be seen from these figures
that about ~ per cent Of the roads
have been improved BY comparing
the total road mileage with the area
Of the state, it appears that there was
about Ss-loO of a mile of public road
per square mile of area.
A comparison of mileage with popu-
lation shows that there was / mile OF
road TO every 10 inhabitants, but only
l mile Of improved road to every 159
inhabitants.
The funds used in the construction
and repair Of oregon roads are de-
rived from two sources-a property
tax and a poll tax. The rate of taxa
tion on property for road purposes
must not exceed 10 mills on the dol
lar, though road districts may levy
an additional 10 mills for the pur-
pose of making special" improve
ments,
The levy for each county is made by
its county court or commissioners
court" and the rule of taxation varies
in the different counties from l to
10 mills Every male in habitant be-
tween the ages OF 81 and so (unless
by law eXempt) is required to pay an
annual poll tax of SO for road pur-
poses. As a matter of fact, the poll
tax operates to a large extent as a
statute labor law, since in many in
stances the tax appears to have been
paid in labor performed on the road
instead of cash.
The amount of road funds derived
from the property tax was s649,717.91
in 1904, and the amount of the poll
tax was S146.65S; the total revenue
from both sources being s796,375.97.
BY comparing the total with the total
mileage of public roads and with the
population of the state, it is found
that the funds collected and expend-
ed for road purposes amounted to
s2S.34 per mile of public road, or
s1.92 per inhahitant.

The Good Fellow.

The treasurer of a church temper
ance society told at a temperance meet
ing dramatic story.
"a woman entered the barroom," he
said. "and advanced quietly to her
husband. who sat drinking with three
other men. She placed a covered dish
on the table and said:
'Thinkin' ye'd be too busy to come
home to supper, Jack. I've fetched 1t to
you here
"And she departed.
''The man laughed awkwardly. He
invited his friends to share the meal
with him. Then he removed the cover
from the dish.
''The dish was empty. 1t contained
a slip of paper that said:
al hope you will enjoy your supper.

A Trying Reform.

A Presbyterian clergyman OF New
York with two popular daughters has
discovered a new way to end the WIS.,
its of their beaus at seemly hour-a
plan which might appeal to lay fami-
lies as well. For number of years
II has been custom of this good man
to hold evening worship after supper,
always concluding the prayers with a
short discourse. Things went very
we'll until the daughters began to re-
eeive the attentions of young men and
begged off or stole away TO make their
evening toilets. Then the minister
changed the devotional hour until 10
in the evening This reform created
an upheaval, but the father insisted,
and at the stroke of 10 the visiting
young men are now left one alterna-
tive-either to leave or join with the
family in prayer-and it has proved Il
severe test of their devotion for the
daughters when those not prayerfully
inclined stick it out, sermon and all

A scientist thus explains why 1t is so
dangerous to use alcohol in the polar
regions: \ moderate use of alcohol
causes Il deposit Of fat. Alcohol is not
turned into fuel in the muscle and
nerve cells. hut serves as pure fuel
in the organism and replaces the com
bustion of fat. Alcohol is therefore
dangerous in the extreme cold because
It assists the throwing of of heat In
great degree. The effect is as If
stove in a room should be heated red
hot and then all the doors and windows
thrown open. Heat produced by mus
cular work in the body is best obtained
from carbohydrates in the food; but.
besides this. the Indispensable produc-
tion of heat is best obtained by fats.
This explains the instructive choice Of
the food of men. In the tropics they
eat little fat and much fruit, while the
polar dweller requires immense quanti-
ties of fat to keep up the bodily COM
bustion.

Although THE SUMS prediction last week that
there would be stormy at the meeting of the
stockholders of the Naval Stores Export Company,

TON and caused the first and only break in THE

months about the naval stores situation the fact that
the meeting was harmonious proved beyond a doubt
that THE SUMS position was ABSOLUTELY COR
RECT.

the prospect for naval stores export business is

Jacksonville is a natural point for expectation of

ILLEGAL COMBINATION

companies of Chicago are in an lille

trolling the grain warehouse business
in contravention of the state laws has
been submitted to States Attorney
Healy by John Hill, Jr., with the re-
quest that it be laid before the next
grand jury as evidence Of ''conspira-
cy against trade"
The principal evidence submitted is
a copy Of an agreement between the
elevator companies, which, it is al
legged, shows them to have been guilty
of acts in restraint of trade in that
a certain percentage of the earnings OF
the warehouses was pooled.
The agreement is the same one that
was introduced at the recent hearings

kept affecting the owners of eleva-
tors not in the combination.
