An Ideal Suggested.

1T is too often stated" said an official,
at least interrogatively, that the ideal con-
sui Is to be found in the ranks of our bust
ness men. Perhaps this would be true,
were We dealing with ideals; but as
matter of fact men who possess the requi-
site qualities to make successful careers
in commerce or industry cannot often be
spared from these fields of activity Ex-
perienced business men do not find consul
ates carrying compensation of twenty
five hundred dollars a year attractive or
satisfactory. The so-called business men
who seek consular positions are as rule
Chere are some happy exceptions) men who
have met with little or no success in bust
ness, or men who have grown old in one
form OF commercial activity, and who, as
a consequence, are narrow, and perform
their duties in a perfunctory and unintel-
ligent manner Experience shows clearly
that business men thrust into the consular
service without previous knowledge of the
work, and after passing middle life, too
often make inefficient officers. A man who
has spent forty or fifty years buying and
selling fish or nails is not necessarily be-
cause he has done this work with profit
to himself Just the person to make a de-
sirable consul general at Cairo, Havana or
Hongkong.
From Ranks of journalism.
Patient study Of our consular corps for
the last twelve or fourteen years shows
that on the whole larger number of sue
cessfuI consuls have come from the ranks
of journalism than from any other class or
vocation. Self-respecting active newspaper
men almost invariably make efficient con-
suls. They are trained observers; they
know how to describe concisely what they
see; and their reports are informing and
clear. They are likely to understand the
art of getting on pleasantly with foreign
officials, and intelligent, intensely pa
triotic, have a saving sense Of humor and
do not often yield to the temptation of
boasting of their own country and its
achievements"

Gen J. c. Bates. who spoke In response TO
the toast Of The Army. The correspond
ing toast, The Navy. was briefly Ie-
sponded to by Chairman Foss of the naval
committee of the House. Mr.. Foss said
that wherever there had been water enough
to float anything in the shape OF boat
that the navy usually had been near and
cooperating with the army throughout the
civn war. It had contributed to the VIC
tories of the army on land as the army had
frequently helped its operations on the wa
ter. and the men in both branches Of the
service had been actUated by a common
patriotism In their service.
a. S. WorthingtOn. President Needham
of George Washington University, Score
tary Shaw. Senator Brandagee, Gen. George
II. Harries and ex-senator Thurston were
among the other speakers.
Gen. Harries made a plea for prepared
ness for war In time of peace, and said that
could only be done by the keeping up 10
the proper discipline OF the volunteer militia
throughout the country. He urged the vet
Grams to give the overflow of the patriotic
spirit which they exhibited during the civil
war to the upbnlding Of the militia and
keeping it upon proper footing. This could
in authority that proper legislation might
be hal and he thought that it was their
duty to interest themselves in behalf of the
militia.
President Edison was happy in his intro
duction of the speakers, and caused smile
when, in presenting Secretary Shaw, he
complimented him on his ability finan
cier, and said that there were rumors that
he would be promoted by the country,
which rumors those present hoped might
prove true.

A LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE PLAINS

For the first ume perhaps in it's his
tory. Pixies Peak was transformed a
few nights ago into a lighthouse of the
plains, and practically every night dur
ing the remainder of the season the
dazzling rays from the 100000 candle
power searchlight will pierce the hori-
zon with bars of light. says the Colo
RADIO Springs Telegraph. Owing to the
fact that the machinery is not yet
properly adjusted, the full current was
not turned ON the first night, but when
it is turned on the rays may easily be
seen in Denver and Pueblo, the Cripple
Creek district and as far east as the
Kansas line. The searchlight produces
some weird and wonderful effects when
the white light plays like sheets Of
summer lightning upon banks OF cum
ulous clouds, and occasionally bursts
through like some stray beam from an
other world The light is in charge Of
II. III. Buckwalter of Denver.

FROM TREE TO PAPER.
How the Pulp Mills Turn the Trees
Into Printed Matter.


If one asked "the man in 3he street
what paper .was made ofahe would al
most certainly say rags, and for the
fair white sheet upon which | write
this would be true, but for paper in
general the answer would be absurdly
Inadequate. for there exists not one
one-thousandth part of rags" that
would be necessary.
Our civilization exists largely on
paper basis, and in Eng land alone 1t
REQUIRES $50 mills, producing some
30. 600 tons a week, to fulfill our needs.
To feed these mills science LAID her
hand on cellulose, which we cannon
make, but can only take from plants.
Apy one of the large London or
American daily papers consumes each
day fully ten acres of an average for
est. Such paper does not last ne
wood fiber out of which it is made is,
unlike pure cellulose, acted upon by
light and air and water and the organ
isms of decay. This is bad, but not
wholly bad, for most of the literature
appearing on this paper is made as
mechanically as the paper itself, and
it is fitting that it should be as ephe-
neral in fact as it is in nature. But
sometimes Literature with a capital

Lighting the New York Termina

The Nernst Lamp company of Pitts
burg has closed the largest single con-
tract for illumination ever made. 1t
is for the New York terminal station
of the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t calls
for lamps in number equaling 1,O0O,-
600 candlepower The Nernst lamp
differs radically from either the arc or
incandescent electric light, but its
chief characteristic is that it more
nearly resembles sunlight than any
other artificial light known. 1t is the
invention of DR. Walter Nernst Of
Gottingen, Germany.

NATURES WORD SYMBOLS.
Beauties of Land and Sea Cannot BE
Told In Words.

neauues OF Land and Sea Cannot De
Told In Words.
Colors, sights and sounds of nature
pent in words shriyel and lose their vi
tally. Odors Of the forest, breezes
from the sea, delicate aromas of the
dawn, exhalations from dew laden
fields, enhancing pure breath of infan-
cy-how can we find among dumb, in
expressive human words any fair
equivalent, any just translation of
such rare effects and sensations in the
world of nature as these? How shall
we interpret myriad shades of one
color in the few words at our COM
mand? How shall we put the feeling
and the ecstasy of nature into the for
mula of mental apprehension and into
the terms of literary expression?
1t is as hopeless task as il. one stood
as interpreter beside some charming
poet of alien tongue and could catch
only here and there a word and could
render that word only by some uncouth
paraphrase or by some term of remote
or unaccepted meaning. What charm,
what conference even, could we find in
such inadequate transference to anoth-
err sphere of what was so beautiful in
its own? SO to say that the sea is
blue does indeed give a certain impress
sion of one color rather than another
and in a crude way suggests a general
tint to our mental vision. But how
opaque and dead is the one word blue"
when held up as the rejecting mirror
to our minds of that world of translu-
cent sapphire glory let down from
heaven upon earth, air and Ocean-that
suffusiOn of azure from cerulean reser-
voirs which drenches nature on rare
midsummer days! We have seen such
flooding molten turquoise light like
gems liquefed and poured over sea
coast, mountain and plain when it has
seemed as if the chaliceS of the angels
of the ether and the sun kept pouring
down new tides of graded sky tones on
the glorifed landscape. We have seen
rock and flower, cloud and tree, hill
and valley, swim and seem to float in
every graduation of the great monotone
of color around us, while bar after bar
of indigo, violet, blue lay far upon the
sea, reiterating in a thousand changing
shades that end of the rainbow gamut
of color in the endless entertainments
of it's TREMENDOUSLY sliding, blending,
ever overlapping, infinitely shaded
scale.
Oh, again, take the word silence as
the image of that great, full breathing,
resonant stiffness Of the forest far from
the dwelling of men. How fat and I'M
responsive and echoless is the word
symbol when hung up as the silvery
sounding board of what nature calls
her stiffness. The term silence is but
dumb interpreter of the serene, sound
less, on going life in the deep woods.
In that silence there is speech OF thou
sand tongues, inaudible and voiceless,
complex and intricate, as the fiexured
Interviewing of leafy branches over
head or the gray and gold green tints
that sift down upon the ragged roots
and lichened rocks that rougher
forest aisles-Christian Work.

 Last Thursday fire started at the Carmony home on Fourth street. It was readily extinguished when the fire boys got there, but considerable dam age was done to the furniture and fit- tings. The fire started from defective stove pipe.
 Mir. Henry R. Elliott left last night on the Str. Jefferson for Seattle, where he will take position in the city of flee of the Alaska Steamship Company. Henry is one of the old guard in Doug las. who have grown up with the town. He will be greatly missed in business and social circles. He still retains his interest in the Douglas City Pharmacy, SO we may expect to see him with us occasionally.
 Last Friday afternoon, Mrs. John Feusi entertained the ladies of the Altar Society of the Catholic church The affair was given to celebrate the birthday anniversary of her little daughter, Elizabeth. Each lady of the society brought little child to partake of the festivities. While little Eliza beth did not entirely grasp the impor' tance of the occasion, she thoroughly enjoyed the situation, especially as she received many pretty presents.
