Measuring Medicine,

Use medicine glass with the amount
Of each spoonful and drop marked
upon 1t. Teaspoonfuls and tablespoon
fuls are always mentioned, but as
these vary In size it is not safe to rely
upon them. Drops. too, cannot be
properly measured without a glass
Keep the medicine glass perfectly
clean. 1t shonld be washed out after
each dose, in readiness for the next
time. 1t is desirable that IL the patient
Is to have medicine with a strong
smell, oils, etc, to keep a glass special
ly for them, letting it soak In hot wa

PUZZLE IN DAM TAXATION.
Two Idaho Counties Would Divide the
Revenue.

revenue.
Says Boise dispatch: Quite a lit
tie comment has been caused lately by
those interested as to where the Mil
ner dam should be divided in order
that the counties of Lincoln and Cas-
sia should get their just proportion OF
the taxes to be derived from the
same.
The dam is thrown across the Snake
river at Miner and as the river is the
division line of the two counties, both
are entitled to share OF the taxes
and, as the dam when completed cost
In the neighborhood of $4,000, 1t
means quite an item to both.
In an interview with S. II. Hays of
Boise, former attorney general of this
state. he stated the question of where
to divide the Snake river in order that
both counties could receive their ap-
Yortionment was a very technical one
and one that would require considera-
BILE study. There has been several
rulings made on this point. he con-
tinued, and some of them vary. For
instance some have held that the river
should be divided at high water. some
at normal and some at low water,
while still others rule that the river,
should be divided in the center OF the
deep water channel. 1t is a hard
question to decide and the matter will
have to be thoroughly Investigated be-
fore a final decision can be reached.

GOLCONDA LOOKS WELL.
Ore Body just Encountered Reaches
the $50 Per Ton Mark.

Golconda is making the kind of
progress that presages great things
for the famous old mine, says the
Blue Mountain American. This week
sees the new oreshoot carrying ore as
high as $92 per ton. The high grade
stuff was found in the big shoot and
is pay streak almost foot wide. To
date the slopes have reached four
sets high and two wide. the pay ore
continuing to run from to 12 feet
wide. This body runs from IS to $12,
while there are two feet which is rum
ming near the $40 mark. A continu-
ance of the present shoot means hun
dreds of dollars to the mines, and
Manager Mccarthy said there was not
sign of break in the magnificent
ore-body.
When here the fore part Of the week
the genial manager was very happy,
as the drift was well under way In
the Wide West ground and was al
ready carrying values of IS per ton.
Since taking the mine Mr.. Mccarthy
has repeatedly said that he expected
that when the drift was under the big
outcroppings to open an ore-body not
exceeded in the west, and the present
indications go long way to n realiza-
tion of his expectations.

TRUST KILLS INDUSTRY.
End of Flax Raising In Willamette
Valley Has Come.

Salem, July S0,-Satisfied in his
own mind that every available obsta-
Gle is being placed in the way of sue
cess by the linen trust; gradually
growing discouraged with the misfor-
tunes with which his every effort has
been met, and disappointed In his en-
deavors to find sufficient and willing
capital with which to develop the nat
ural flax and linen fiber resources of
the Willamette valley, Eugene Bosse,
the Belgian flax expert, has abandon
ed the cultivation of flax on large
scale and is now devoting his atten-
tion to the culture of hemp for the
Portland and California markets.
His belief In the future of the flaA
industry in the Willamette valley is
answering, and he is still in corre-
spondence with interested capitalists
in New York and Canada and has
strong hopes of being able to realize
his ambitions. Every crop he has
raised has been destroyed by fire,
through some unknown and mysteri-
Gus cause, until he can afford to ex-
pertinent no more on his own account,
and now he has resolved to turn his
attention to hemp. He has over 200
acres of hemp growing here and at
Scio, in Linn county, and he says il
is the most perfect hemp that he has
ever seen in any country On account
of the destruction of the hemp crops
in the Indies and the jute crop in
California there is a great shortage
in the supply of raw material and the
price has already increased cents

After search of IS months among
the Aleutian islands for evidences of
slavery, which is said to exist among
the Indians on some of the Alaskan
islands, an agent of the United States
department Of justice passed through
over the o. II. X n. last evening to
report to the government in Washing
ton on his findings.
While he could not divulge at this
time any features of his report, he
said that 1t was general knowledge
that form of slavery exists among
some of the most savage Indian tribes
in the Aleutian islands and that steps
Will be taken to crush crush it out.
For the past is months he has
cruised from island to island in the
Aleutian chain, extending from the
mainland of the Alaskan territory,
well toward the Asiatic coast, and
thinks he has seen every tribe of In
dians in the entire chain. He was
accompanied by interpreters and es-
cort of marines from the revenue cut
ters on which he travelled, almost en-
tirely on his long search.
His descriptions of the beauties of
the Aleutian chain of islands are fas-
cinating. While some of the islands
are small, they are a veritable para
disc. The Vegetation is luxuriant, the
fohage dense and the evergreen tim
Der the most prolific and dense ever
seen.
Owing to the sweep of the Japan
current along the entire chain of

ner.
Many of the smaller islands have no
inhabitants whatever and others form
the summer residence for migratory
tribes which travel from place to place
much as the plains Indians did in the
early days on the Pacific coast.
II is known that these migratory
tribes carry on a considerable trade
in slaves They seize the children of
the more inferior tribes and sell them
to other distant tribes, where the
chattels work for life for their mas
ters under the most horrible condl-
uons Of servitude, at times.
He would not care to repeat some
OF the experiences of the trip, al.
though the explorations were filled
with intense excitement and interest.
In speaking of the geographical To-
cation of the Aleutian islands, he call
ed attention to the almost unbelieva-
BILE fact that the actual center of the
territory of the United States, includ.
Ing Alaska, was at a point 222 miles
west of San Francisco, counting the
extreme west end of the territory as
the wcsternmost Aleutian island and
the eastern point at the northeast COR
ner of Maine.
The Aleutian islands extend almost
25OO miles westerly from the Alaskan
mainland. 1t is but SEQ miles from

chain to Kamchatka peninsula, 81.

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION
The Ancients Made and Ate 1t. but II
Was a Simple Amir.


The ancients made cake, but 1t was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla
vored confection which we indulge In
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with flour and water, some Of them
without suspicion of sweet or flavor
Some of them were not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them, as with us, but the cake
was plain one and was broken above
the head Of the bride as she went to
her new home. This was special fea-
ture of Roman marriages 1000 years
ago. The breaking Of the cake was
part Of solemn ceremony. All Of the
cakes Of ancient history are plain and
simple. 1t is only as we come down to
more modern times that we hear of
spices and fruits and all of the rich
and luxurious ingredients in which
present day cakemakers delight. In
Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and
buns were eaten at weddings. From
these the fashion and fancy grew for
all sorts of elaborate and deliciously
unwholesome combinations until there
seems to be perpetual struggle for
something new and more unusual to
stir into the cake of the period.

our battles, preserved the union and

young men arousing them to strong

the gray hairs and bent forms of many

OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.

The Preston County journal is wise

much falsehood concerning the new
tax laws as any weekly paper in the
State. Below is sample Of the utter

The Argus was trying to deceive
the people in 1904 as to its position

months. The Argus now says or Its
bosses say for 1t that the railroads are
assessed too high. The Democratic
candidate for Congress in his speech
last Saturday to the Democrats at the
