Selfish Sound Cities.

Seattle and Portland jobbers, III
forming an allience to fight the
Spokane rate case before the inter-
state commerce commission, we've
moved solely by selfish, local con-
siderations. The ] ,bbing inieres S
of Spokane have gone before the
interstate commerce commission
with fair. logical appeal for rate
reductions into the Inland Empire.
IF these reductions are granted
every inland town, including those
now buying from Portland and
Seattle, will share the benefit Of
Spokane.
The interests of every consumer,
as we'll as every business man in
the Inland Empire are with Spo-
kane in this fight. If Spokane
shall win lower freight rates from
the East, it will sell gods more
cheaply all over the Inland Empire,
That, in turn, will force Portland
aud Seattle to sell more cheaply.
In fact, in the long run the lion S
share of these reductions, if not the
ent re benefit, would 60 to the re-
tail merchants and consumers
around Spokane, since Portland and
Seattle, by meeting the reduced
prices which Spokane can give If
it wins its case before the inter
state commerce commission, will
be able to uphold substantially
their present jobbing territory, and
the country buyer and consumer,
whether taking merchandise from
Spokane or the coast, will find them
selves in a position to buy more
cheaply in either market.
These facts are so self evident
that there can be 10 question
where the sympathies OF the retail
dealers and the consumers of the In
land Empire will lie i'll this impor-
tant ggle.-Spokesman.

An Appropriate Title.

The fruitgrowers along the Co.
lurnbia river have adopted name
for that section of the country of
which Kennewick is the center by
which they intend that it Shall
hereafter be known and dlstin
guished. The Columbia River
Early Fruit Belt is the title Sc
lected, and one more appropriate
could hardly have been suggested
An attempt was made some time
ago, ard was partially successful,
to dub this parti>ula section The
California of the Northwest. This
sounded we'll and was in many re-
spects warranted by conditions as
they existed at that time. 1t was
a practical admission, however that
Washington's early fruit and vege-
table belt played second fiddle to
California and must continue to do
so. No matter what the future
might have in store, with such
name it would be imp oss:ble to con-
vince tie world except by ocular
demonstration that the standard
had been raised above the idea con-
veyed by the word "California. .
For advertising purposes it might
fail to be effective in a very short
time. The Co umbia river valley,
especially that part which is contig-
uous to Kennewick, even now eX-
cells Southern California in certain
kinds of fruit and vegetables, while
it enjoys distinct advantage in
malket facilities With the excep-
ton of oranges, lemons and figs,
the fruit belt under discussion is
capable of p oducing high grade
of fruit than can be grown in the
citrous belt of California. Kenne-
wick strawberries, apples, pears,
peaches, piuns and cherries are
world beaters, and her grapes are
equal to the best California varie-
ties. What the future has in store
for this favored region can only be
surmised, but it will neither retro
grade nor remain at standstill
In the light Of what is now known
regarding this locality, the selection
of the title, The Columbia River
Early Fruit Belt" was indeed a
happy thought. -Homeseeker.

ART NV the Ton

An American city once asked Mac
Monnies, the sculptor, to enter design
for army and navy groups for n sol
diers' and sailors monument. He de-
clined to compete Then the commits
sion was rendered to him outright. He
submitted sketches of his idea for the
groups. The committee in charge of
the monument wrote him, asking
"How many tons of granite do you in
tend to use in the baseT HIS reply
was: IF you are in the business of
buying granite you may use as much
as you want, one ton or 100000 TONS
l am an artist, and 1 never yet heard
of art being bought by the pound"
The question was dropped until the
contract for the commission was
drawn. When Mr.. MacMonnies re,
ceived it he discovered in it a clause
providing that in case the bronzes were
ever thrown down from their base, by
any cause whatever, and any person
or property should be injured, he and
his heirs forever should be liable for
the damage sustained. He returned
the contract without comment, unsign.
ed. When the committee wrote him,
asking the reason, his brief reply was,
"Your lawyers are too sharp."-World's
Work.

A scientist explains some of the
strange phenomena of dreams by say.
ing that they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory" He takes the

points out that after suffering the men
tai agony of falling the sleeper es.

The explanation is that the falling sen.

remote ancestors who were fortunate
enough to save themselves after fall.
ing from great heights in treetops by
clutching the branches. The molecu-
lar changes in the cerebral cells due
to the shock of stopping could not be

The Ruling Passion Strong In Death.
The ruling passion of Edward 1. of
England was undoubtedly the pursuit
of his ideal Of uniting all the British
islands under one rule. His great OBJ.
stacle was Scotland, and the conquest
of Scotland, therefore, became a pas.
sion with him. Stronger than years, II
sent him to the head of the army when
he was fit only for sick bed, and
when he was at last compelled to
yield he sought to make this passion
spur on his son by ordering that the
flesh should be boiled from his bones
and that his skeleton should be car
ried at the head of the army and re-
main unburied till Scotland was con-
Quered.
This Is the most conspicuous instance
Of ''the ruling passion strong in death"
on record, though many others would
be worthy Of quotation. William Pitts
patriotism endured to his last gasp and
inspired his last utterance, as did Mel
sons lifelong determination to secure
the command Of the sea, while Napo-
Icons last dream was one Of battle.

Camp Tidbits.

The muskrat may be broiled over the
hot embers, with sliced bacon so ar
ranged that the drippings run over the
musquash as it cooks, or it may be
made into stew with vegetables and
pork, and In this case the longer ii
SINNERS over the fire the better will
be the results. Only seasoned campers
ever have an opportunity to feast on
the delicious nose of a moose or know
the delights of marrowbones of deer
split and mixed with parched corn
meal and cooked all night, or dried
venison pounded to fragments and
cooked with rich bears fat, musk tur.
tie soup, porcupine steaks, with hell
benders as a side dish. And, although
thousands Of muskrats are killed and
eaten every year in Maryland and
Delaware, probably but few of my
readers in the northern states will ex.
pertinent with this rodent-Outing.

Warren and Jefferson.

Joseph Jefferson was playing Sher-

Boston on one occasion many years
ago. His version Of the play had been
arranged in such a way as to give
Bob Acres considerably more promi-
nence perhaps than the author origi-
nally intended, occasionally at the ex-
pense Of the other characters. Will
liam Warren, the old comedian, sat
the play out and at it's conclusion was
asked, How do you like Jefferson's IS

aunck Medicines of Bygone Days.

Qunck Medicines of Bygone Days.
Nearly everything in the animal
kingdom was formerly used in the
healing art. In the oldest medical
book now known, composed in Hello
polls, where once Joseph served in the
house of Potiphar, we find means for
increasing the growth of hair, prepar-
ed for Schesch, the mother Of Teta, the
king of upper and lower Egypt"
Dogs teeth, overripe dates and
asses hoofs were carefully cooked in
oil and then grated. AS Teta lived be-
fore Cheops, this recipe for hair oil is
older than the great pyramid at Gizeh
and is supposed to date back more than
5000 years. The heads of venomous
serpents have held an important place
in medicine. A strong broth made
from them and mixed with salt and
spices and 100 other remedies was en-
ployed under the name of theriac as a
cure for every conceivable disease.

Peasant and Ptrs,

A clever smuggling trick has been
played on customs officer on the
Russo German frontier. An innocent
looking peasant reported to the officer
a plot for getting a large number of
pigs across the frontier. The method,
he said, would be to drive across at in.
tervals of half an hour, 8, 6, IL and 200
pigs, the smugglers arguing that If the
first three lots could be sent over there
would be no trouble with the 200.
The officer was naturally on the alert.
In accordance with the PEASANTS state
ment three pigs were driven over, then
six, followed by twelve. All were al
lowed to pass, and preparations were
made to receive the 200. But no more
pigs appeared. and the twenty-one ami
mails admitted had in the meantime
been lodged in safety.-Berlin Cor.

Chinese Cooking SECRETS.

quet in Peking," said an ex-consul,
"and it was the most remarkable feast
ever sat down to. One course appear
ed to be plain hard boiled eggs. The
eggs came on unadorned. Their shells
were intact, and yet, when we broke in
to them, we found that they contained
nuts and sweetmeats. Another course
was whole oranges, with unbroken
skins, yet inside the oranges were five
different kinds of jelly. The Chinese
guests took these two courses as a mat.

Snakes are not the only animals
which exhibit the possession of rudi-

tribe there is no evidence externally of
hind limbs. The fore limbs In them
are converted into the "flippers," or

eton is examined traces of haunch
and attached rudimentary thigh bones
are found. There is developed in GER
tain kinds Of whales a bony piece rep
