As one Spring dale man put 1t, If Washington County never has another fair she can point with pride to the first one. But there will be other fairs, and they will be even big ger and better than this one.
 The problem of getting to and from the fair grounds was easily solved by the Frisco putting on a short train which makes frequent trips, the fare being only , cents each way, and you are landed

A RARE FIRST FOLIO.
What It Cost and What II. Present
 Value should Be.

Seven years after the ,ieath of Shake speare his collected works were pub lished ill large folio volume. how known as the first folio Shakespeare" This was ill the year 1923. The price at which the volume was originally sold was il. but perhaps we ought to take into considera ton the fact that a that time money had value or pur chasing power at least eight times that which it has al present Hallwell- ll-Phi! lips estimates 1t at from twelve to twenty times it's present value. For this circumstance however. full allow ance may be made by multiplying the ultimate result by the proper number
 This folio is regarded as the most valuable printed book in the English language, the last copy that was offer ed for sale in good condition having brought the record price of nearly 5000, 50 that 1t is safe to assume that q perfect copy i'll the condition in which it left the publishers hands would readily command S10,oo0. and the question now arises. What would be the comparative value or the pres ent price. S1o,eo0, and If the original price. II. placed at interest and com pounded every year since f623s
 Over and over again have heard II said that the purchasers of the first folio" had made I splendid investment, and the remark k frequently Used in reference 10 the purchase of books Ia general irrespective of the present in tellectuai Use that may be made U them Let Us make the comparison.
 Money placed at compound interest at per cent little more than dou. bles itself in twelve years. At the present time and for Il few years back 6 per cent is q high rate, but it Is a very low rate for the average. During a large part of the time money brought s, 10 and 12 per cent per annum, and even within the half century just past 1t brought : per cent during a large portion of the time. Now between 1923 and 1899 there are twenty three periods of twelve years each, and at double progression the twenty third term, beginning with unity. would be S.3SS. cos This. therefore, would be the amount in pounds which the volume had cost up to 1S99 In dollars 1t would be $40. 794, ,s7SSs An article which costs $i0,ooo,0oo and sells for SlO.OOO cannot be called very good financial investment
 From literary or intellectual stand point, however, the subject presents an entirely different aspect
 Some time ago I asked one of the foremost Shakespearean scholars in the world if he had copy of the first folio" His reply was that he could not afford it, that 1t would not be wise for him to lose si0O to $500 per year for the mere sake of ownership when for very slight expenditure for time and railwa. fare he could consult any one of half a dozen copies whenever he required to do so.-Folles of Science.

BECOMES BLIND WHEN EXCITED
Queer Case to Be Tried at Vale.
Oregon.

BAKER CITY. Oregon. Sept. s.-A
queer case of felony will come up at
vale this term of court During the
last election day a woodchopper by
the name of Robinson, who Is a half
breed Indian. shot and inflicted a flesh
wound on man named Derrick. The
shooting was the result of a quarrel
over election.
The queer part of the affair lies in
the line Of defense mapped out by the
defendant. 1t is claimed by Robinson
that he has queer affection of the
eyes. SO that when excited he becomes
ohnd and that he was excited when
the shooting occurred. and being blino
at the time, he shot in self defense.
thinking Derrick was about to stab
him.
Experts who have examined the de.
PENDANT say that his claim to blind
ness when under strong excitement IS
absolutely true and that 1t is caused
from an affection of the nerves Rob-
inson used to work in and around
Baker City few years ago.

Anniversary OF BIG FLOOD
Six Years Ago Town Of Galveston
Was Practically Wiped from Map.

GALVESTON,Texas, Sept. s. 1t is
six years ago today, September 8,
1900, that the disaster occurred. which
for the time being, wiped the city of
Galveston off the map. In the evening
of that day the entire island on which
the city Is situated was under water
and more than 5000 lives had been
blotted out. Like the present year.
September in 1900 fell on Saturday
and the first news of the awful dis
aster reached the outside world not
until Sunday morning and it was
some days later before the extent OF
the awful disaster became generally
known. In the six years intervening
the city has fully recovered itself.
A mammoth sea wall. one of the
greatest pieces Of work Of it's kind
ever accomplished, protects the city
form repetition of the disaster,
while as further precaution the lev
ell of the entire city has been raised
from six to twenty feet.

1t is complicated situation which
presents itself to the people who re-
side on what was formerly the Neg
Perce Indian reservation. A clause of
the treaty in which the Indians coded
their lands to the United States states
specifically that no Intoxicating LIQUORS
shall be sold on the land for a period
of rs years after the land is omen tn
settlement. Illicit liquor traffic was
the natural result. After much litiga-
ton. decision was reached in the
United States circuit court of appeals
declaring liquor selling on the reser-
walton lands to be well and proper
With this decision still hanging fire
IN the supreme court. licensed saloons
have been. introduced to the reserva.
ton. In direct contradiction to the
words of the treaty. Now comes the
Indians with the complaint that If the
liquor clause of the treaty enacted
some IL years ago is invalid. why not
the entire treaty? If so. claim the IN
dams, the rich lands of the reserva-
ton should revert to the original own
ers, the tribal Indians Of the reserya-
ton. Expensive litigation would fol-
low with fat fees for the lawyers.
BUSINESS would be forced to a stand

OF the treaty will have become in

to worry. II the people of the reser-

him heartily"
1t was when he said point blank
and without explanation. THE forest
reserves are not needed to conserve
the moisture" that the disgraceful
Kissing scene resulted. But it may be
said to the credit of the delegates as
sembled that the kissing did not come
from delegates or even the opposition.
Some 25 or 80 hired rangers were
present. They were under the orders
of Pinchot and it was these rangers
who started the enthusiasm when a
point was made for the opposition, and
it was these same paid rangers who
under Instructions started the kissing
Of the great man.
That the audience had no hand in
the disgraceful affair was shown when
but a little later Senator Hepburn
said:
Il. am making campaign Of eddca-
ton. I do not propose to stop until
the whole public understands this
great question. Before l have finished
this campaign expect to educate the
president himself to understand this
question in its true light"
Such a rousing applause as greeted
this remark had not before been heard
in the convention.
Not once during his remarks did the
senator even indirectly say anything
that could be taken as a reflection
upon the presidents motives, but he
did insist that the president had been
badly advised by misguided friends
and that he proposed to continue his
fight until even the president under
stood the conditions.
AS the senator continued his argu-
ment every representation made by the
opposition seemed to sink into obli-
Won. AS in his forceful, direct and
impressive manner he showed the
rights of the people to be paramount,
every bit OF the sympathy except Of
those already SO prejudiced as to be
beyond conviction, came to his way of
thinking. When he showed that the
settlers who would make their homes
in these great forests when they are
thrown open would be more interest
ed. more careful. and surer to protect
the forests from fires or other de-
struction than few paid rangers who
had little interest save to draw a
salary from the people t,ulY not but
admit that he was right
As his address came to a close the
entire house arose to it's feet in the
enthusiasm Of the moment and such a
demonstration Of admiration seldom

to carry the fight farther. 1t was
planned that Senator Heyburn's argu-
ment would be punctured and criti i.

would have been ever more impressed
with Idaho's ability to take care OF
herself, for no other than Hon. w. f..
Borah would have replied to their re-
marks and dealt with their fiimsy
arguments just as fatally as did SEN
ator Hepburn
But they saw the handwriting by
