A Seattle paper says: Local nsner-
 men just returned from the halibut
 banks off the northern end of Van
 couver Island report that for distance
 of about twenty miles the water on the
 Pacific has the appearance of being
 blood-red, and many of the fishermen
 say that to pass through the area ofred
 would bring them bad luck. Other
 fishermen also said that there is bad
 luck coming for some one. Just what
 has apparently turned the water red they do not know. Capt Odsen, who commanded the fishing steamer San Juan during the absence of Capt. Needing, says that he saw the red colored water, but advances no theory for it's existence.
 We eventure the statement that more young men are in positions of responsi- bility in mining today than ever before, and are filling them successfully. In earlier days of the industry when ex-
 periepce and education were acquired at one and the same time in the mines it would hardly have been possible for a young man of thirty to control as ex- tensive interests as are in the hands of some men of that age today. We be- lieve that the cause of technical educa- tion is largely responsible for this new condition. The school of mines has made it possible to gain groundwork which makes the acquiring of practical experience simpler matter and quick CT of accomplishment. Apparently the road to success leads through the tech nical school.-Mining Reporter.
 A dispatch from Washington, D. c. says: Word has been received here through Capt. Cantwel, of the revenue cutter McCulloch that five Japanese fishermen had been killed on Attu is- land by residents who caught them poaching contrary to the laws of the United States. The killing took place before the McCulloch arrived there. The McCulloch captured 12 Japanese prisoners. No further particulars have been received except that the prisoners were taken in the execution of the alien fishing law that was passed by the last congress. The report of the proceed ings at Attu island was received at the state department in report from Capt. Cantwell. The state department has advised the Japanese ambassador of ell the information which it has. It is not believed that it will cause any inter- complications or controversy.
 In the latter part of July the assayer in charge of the United States assay office at Helena, Montana received an order authorizing the acceptance of silver in gold deposits, when the ratio between the two metals did not exceed one to ten. In these quantities the white metal is received and paid for at current rates. This decision is favor ably received among mining men in the of Helena, for the former con- ditions were practically prohibitive on deposits of silver. The metal was &C., cepted and paid for only when it bore to the gold deposited ratio not ex- ceeding one to thirty. This necessitat- ed shipping much bullion out of the state at an additional expense and loss of time. The new order, which became effective August 1st, will enable the Helena office to make an improved as we'll as inure to the benefit of the miner.-Mining Reporter.

Needed Railroad LEGISLATION.

The people of this state will make
strong dem ands on the next legislature
in the matter of railroad legislation.
Among these demands will be the
following:
The passage. of law for the aboli-
tion of the pass system.
The passage of law for the reduc-
ton of passenger rates to cents a
mile.
The passage Of proper and sufficient
demurrage laws.
The passage of a law to prevent the
abuse of the private car system.
The passage of law specifically
authorizing the railroad and ware
house commission to determine the act
ual value of railroad property with a
view to such value being used as a
basis of railroad rates.
The passage of such laws as are ne
cessary in all ways that are practical
and beneficial to the people to make
the railroad statutes of the state con-
form to the rate regulation law recent
ly enacted by the federal government.
The pass system must go and with it
must come a reduction in passenger
rates. The interests of shippers de-
mand protection by the measures
above outlined and it is safe to predict
that the member Of the legislature who
fails to do his full duty in respect to
these demands will have a short and
inglorious career.

Willie sat on the steps in distinctly
unhappy mood. 1t was the first Of
July, bright and beautiful. The garden
was ablaze with flowers and he could
pick as many as he wanted. His ball
and books and little fire engine lay on
the porch beside him, and his collie pup
was begging him to come and play, but
Willie had no heart for any Of these at
fractions.

The Shopping Sex.

The EnglishWoman never knows
when she enters shop what she
wants. She is swayed by impulse,
grabs wildly at everything she likes
or thinks she likes and probably comes
back and grumbles the next day. She
is also completely lost If the shop
walkers do not dog her every footstep
to implore her to 'look at this charm
ing toque'' or condescend to glance
at this special line in cheap skirts"
But the American woman resents any
suggestion that she does not know
what she wants, likes to be left Sc
verely alone and if interfered with
may abruptly leave the shop. But,
while she is less irritating than the
Englishwoman, she is far more exact

Those of our citizens who did not

and sparkled with the wit and wisdom

coming to town in three days and no
body had invited you to go? Life was
full of terrible problems. He was just
wondering if he hadn't better cry about
it when he saw friend coming down
the street and hastily changed his
mind
This friend was no less a person than
Max Harwood, chief of the volunteer
fire department of Norwood, commo-
dore of the local yachting club and a
hero in Willie's eyes. By some mys-
FERROUS coincidence Commodore Max
appeared on the scene with great
promptness and frequency whenever
Willie's aunt, Miss Marjory Dean, came
for a visit, and as these visits had been
rather numerous during the year just
passed Willie knew him we'll enough

Taxing Church Property.

One Of the amendments that will be
taken up for decision at the election
to be held this fall relates to the taxa
ton Of church property and is of wider
significance than may at first be thought
by the general reader. Under the pres
ent law all church property used for
religious purposes, is exempt from
taxation, which is right and proper
and in accordance with the wishes Of
the majority of people of the state, but
the amendment goes further and wants
to provide that all property owned by
religious bodies should be exempt from
taxation.
It is in regard to the latter provision
that there is objection. Religious in
situations and charitable institutions
as we'll as schools, hospitals and the
like, the direct purpose of which is to
benefit the community and the state at
large are entitled to exemption and the
church that is struggling amidst the
most discoura aging circumstances to
gain a foothold and eley ate the morals
Of any community is entitled to free
dom from taxation, but there is dis
position on the part Of some of the
wealthy institutions to own farm lands
and rich properties and to speculate
in this manner. Under the proposed
amendment such property would be
exempt from taxation, and this at the
expense of the farmers in whose town
ships these lands are located.
It is an unwise and unfair treatment
of the subject and the amendment
should never become a law. The taxes
of the state have to be raised in some
manner and if a part of the property
Of the state is exempt the burden that
it should bear will simply have to be
borne by the part that is taxed and the
exemption accomplishGs little or moth
ing. It is even question if there is
anything gained in the exemption of
church property that is used for religi-
Gus purposes, except that it compels
mn element of non-church attendants
to contribute to an institution that is a
recognized source of moral uplift to
the community in which it is located.
This would not hold good in the case
of church investments and would offer
an opportunity for speculation on the
part of religious and charitable bodies
that would simply compel the poorer
ones to assist in their support. The
proposed amendment should be thor
oughly studied before it is blindly
voted upon.

Gheir valuable time. They wis.1 to give

listen to long stories not pertaining to

world Ind which it would be folly to
