Oakway Items.

Oakway, July Owe are having
plenty of rain. Crops are looking fine.
Andrew Bearden and l.. A. Edwards
have the finest corn we have seen this
year. If nothing happens to hurt it, it
will surely make one hundred bushels
per acre.
A good crop of candidates now. But,
oh, for the thinning time. Some of them
are sure to be cut out. 1t Is not always
the best policy to leave the best looking
stalk. So be sure and vote for the best
man, regardless of preference or looks.
What has become of that school trus-
tee businessp Some time ago that was
all the talk. and it was supposed the
trustees of Oakway or Bethel and Fair
Play school districts would have to wear
the stripes or foot up q lot of money
quiet now. We guess the one that
started it has found out that he could
not do anything, or be was wrong, or
that he was as deep in the mire as the
trustees were in the mnd. II you didn't
know it, we will tell you, he was himself
trustee at one time, not long ago, and,
of course, when man lives in glass
houses he can't afford to throw rocks.
He ought to have thought of this sooner.

If you can, and if you can't, we can tell

We want the church road worked out
before the big meeting. don't know
but that it is in sorghum cane now. The
cane will soon be ready to cut, and l
guess no one will care after harvest.
l.. l.. Jarrard has commenced taking
the right of way for the Westminster,
Oakway, Fair Play and Townville rail
road. He says it won't be long until
work will begin. Sc mote it be.
Mrs. Minnie Moore, of South Union,
who is visiting her parents at Oakway,
has been quite sick, but is able to be out
again.
Mr.. Jones and wife, of Fair Play, are
visiting the latter's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Hanserd, of Oakway, to-day.
On account of rain, there were no SER

LOVE TO TEACH BOYS
Business Men Take Keen Interest II
Bethel Urchns.

Business men, who during the week are
deeply immersed in commercial affairs,
many of them holding responsible posi-
lions with some Of the most prominent
firms in the city, may be seen on Sunday
afternoons in the big Sunday school room
at Bethel Settlement teaching classes of
boys Of the settlement.
The task could not possibly have any
destinations for a man unless he could
appreciate and understand the material
with which he had to work. So thoroly
in sympathy with the masculine juvenile
mind Of the settlement are these men that
to them there is no question of the pos
sibility of becoming fond Of their ragged,
unkempt charges; they question rather,
how one could help responding to them.

HILLS FULL OF GOLD
AtIIn District Is overrun with Eager
Miners and Prospectors.

Ten thousand people will soon be pros
pecting in the hills Of British Columbia
in the Atlir, district, according to J. F.
Gibson. a guest at the West hotel, and a
resident of Atlin.
''Atlin is in the center Of the gold dis
trict which was opened about a year
ago." he said. 1.-THE greatest strike last
year was the Conrad claim, which is
probably worth millions. I understand its
owners have secured large amount of
capital in England with which to develop
the mine as soon as the season opens.
"Atlin is a district hard to get at. 1t
Is near the Yukon boundary. The White
Pass & Yukon railway has to be taken to
Caribou Junction. There a line of steam
ers is taken thru a series Of lakes on a
sixty mile water trip to Atlin. AS soon
as spring breaks there will doubtless be
a rush to the new gold fields which will
tax, perhaps exceed, the capacity OF the
railroad and steamers. I look for 10, O0O
people to be ranging around Atlin this
summer.
There are a number Of Minneapolis
people interested in claims in this new
gold field. George A. Bracket, who be-
/ ieve was once mayor Of Minneapolis
has money invested there, and hts son
Frank Bracket, Is personally on the
ground to arrange for and superintenc
the development of the claims. Major
Hale, postmaster of Minneapolis, has alst
investments in gold claims there, and Il
looks as tho the holdings of these Min
neapolis men were going to make good

Manv a Little Makes a Mickle.

Railroad officials testify1ng IN the
merchandise-rate hearing before the
Minnesota commission lay considerable
stress on the fact that the proposed re-
duction means so little to individuals.
While it would remove large slice
from the earnings Of the railroads, the
difference in the cost of any article car
ried would not be worth while noticing.
1t is the same way with taxes. An
extra mill levied on property is hardly
felt by any Individual, and 1T brings
a nice little sum into the public treas
,ury. Just the same, we try to keep
taxes down to the lowest possible point,
and if a mill can be knocked off, we
demand that our boards Of tax levy do
their duty A dollar here and dollar
there is little to the individual, that is
true; but what is a trifing drain on
one man becomes a public wrong when
taken from all.
There is difference, however, be-
tween taxes and railroad rates. The
money levied as a tax is for the gen
eral good, and is generally so expended
1t gives the public at large benefits
Of schools, police protection, etc. The
extra dollar paid in freight charges
however, goes into the treasury of {
corporation and is paid out in divi
dends to its; stockholders. They arr

ALL MAY HEAR GADSKI
Great Singer Will Appear in First Bap

Nine. Gadski is perhaps the only
prima donna of worldwide reputation,
who has been put to rout by horse,
and she is fond Of horses, too. An ef-
fort was made to secure the Auditori-
UNI for Nine. Gadski's recital next
Wednesday evening, but Jim Key, the
educated equine had cinched his con-
tract with the Auditorium management
for four nights hand running, and April
was right in the middle of the engage
ment. Nine. Gadski's management
could do nothing but acquiesce grace
fully, and she will appear instead, in
the First Baptist church, which will
doubtless be crowded to the doors with
those anxious to hear song recital by
the gifted cantatrice.
While the church, Of course, has q
seating capacity of only about half that
Of the Auditorium, it does have ca
pacity corresponding approximately te
the leading recital halls in the east. Fol
recitals the First Baptist church is ad
mirably suited. The great prima donna
has several times appeared in Minneap
oils in opera and with orchestra, but
never before has she been announced
for one of the song recitals which have
won her fame equal to that which she
has acquired in opera.

HERRMANN'S VISIT TO
MARKET BOOMS PRODUCE

Hermann the Great got far enough
away from the Orpheum this morning
to take stroll thru Central Market,
and aroused the envy and ayarice of
every man there in business by making
chicken lay an egg and then taking
half dollar from the much priced
fruit.
incidentally the magician made the
sad mistake of breaking the egg over
the pavement and aroused the ire of
patrolman No. Sc.
ooh, l beg zee pardone,' answered
the magician to the blue coat s admo-
milton, Immediately taking from the
officers coat pack of playing cards.
GLOW much for the radishesP' he
pany man.
"Thirty cents bunch" replied the
commission man.
"Nice radishes," was the magician g
comment as he extracted four silver
dollars from the nearest bunch. Rad
ish stock took a jump instantly.
"Zees ess a ve-ey lofely market,
remarked Hermann as he made an
onion vanish into thin air and then
beard. r..
By this time business in the market
had been practically suspended and the
suspension became complete when he
repeated the egg trick. eff I could
| do that I'd wait until the next corner
and break it, remarked an admir-
| ing commission man who was caught
in the last egg squeeze.
Hermann then discovered that let
tuce, as he found it, was worth So
| a bunch; that many a roughly clad
huckster was reeking with silver coins;
that almost any aproned clerk carried
| a pack of cards, and that oranges could
properly be valued at thousand dol
lars case.
| But he wouldn't tell the commission
men how to make chickens lay eggs
with real money in them. :
