COiflIllJJee HOfnlHdlSu lHc HleHlUeTS of the advisory committee subject to the approval of the association.
 The president of the .associa- tion was instructed to wire the general freight agent of the Santa Fe coast lines the necessity of fur nishing cars for the shipment of sheep, without delay, and to make the message urgent. The president was further instructed to send a similar message to the president of the Santa Fe road. John Noble, Colin Campbell and F. w. Perkins were appointed committee to look after the matter of reported raising of assessments.
 At meeting of the executive committee c. H. Schulz was elected chairman and F. w. Perkins was chosen secretary at a salary of S25 per month, until otherwise ord cred.
 E. s. Gosney and H. E. Campbell were elected delegates to American Live Stock association and to the National Woolgrowers association.
 Mir. Gosney being interrogated by a Sun reporter, said, "I am very sorry the business of our association was so entangled Monday, an d blame myself, as chairman, for too much leniency in rulings. In as much as the Western division did without authority, what we should have done as the General division, it would make but little differe nee but for the treatment of the gentle men from the Eastern division. There is no doubt but what they had the right to vote on the reso- lutions as originally presented, not only for themselves, but to cast the entire vote of the Eastern division. l am humiliated to think of the treatment they received. The manly good natured way in which they both spoke of the affair leads me to hope they and other sheep- men of the Eastern division will recognize the matter as little in- dicretion on the part of few, and as no personal discourtesy was in- tended to them, that the sheepmen of the old Eastern division will join with us in the organization. We need the full strength of the wool growers of the Territory"
 ''The importance of, and danger to the industry, in the appointment of the committee of five to act as local advisory board for the associ- ation and confer with the local forest officers in reference to local matters as set out in Bulletin No. IA, is scarcely realized by the mem- bers of the association. In our an- nual meeting the position was taken that the order meant: First, that without seperate organization for the Eastern and Western divisions

Our National Songs.

"We are not q patriotic nation,

derstood in some Of the older
countries Of Europe" writes Q
correspondent. "There is a pop

This is rather q severe indict.
ment and not Q wholly just one.
The American people have never
been found wanting in patriotism

foreign nation encroaches on our

and from the lakes to the Gulf, lie
instantly ablaze with wrath and
resentment. When the Maine was
blown up the response was prompt
and unmistakable. There is not
a more patriotic people on the
globe to-day than the people Of
the United States.
Nevertheless it is true that in
our devotion to business and to
pleasure we neglect many Of the
wholesome customs by which
other nations show their love Of
country and impress this love
upon the rising generations.

The Proper Title.

Titles of respect and courtesy are
of universal application, and to omit
them in addressing others, except
those with whom we are on terms of
the closest intimacy, betrays want
of refinement that in some cases
amounts to actual rudeness.
Mr., Master, Mrs, and Miss are al
ways prefixed to the name, unless
some professional or official title takes
their place. Mr.. has no English plu-
raj, but it's place is supplied by
Messrs., a contraction of the French
Messieurs. The want of plural of
Madam is supplied by the word La
dies. To denote seniority in the case
of two or more unmarried daughters,
the eldest alone is Miss Brown. while
the others are Miss Jane Brown, Miss
Mary Brown, etc. When all are ad-
dressed or spoken to together they are
the Misses Brown. A married lady
generally uses her husbands name II
he is living, with the title Mrs. before
| It; thus, Mrs. Edward Brooks. She
may, however, use her own name, Mrs.
Mary Brooks, and if she is a widow
she should do 1t.

Premier Thirty Years.

Richard Seldom, whom Sir William
Harcourt once congratulated on hav-
ing discovered the valuable secret of
perpetual power" has just won at the
general election in New Zealand. He
is now in his thirtieth year of unin-
terrupted premiership. Mr.. Seldom
was only eighteen years old when he
sailed from Liverpool as steerage
passenger to seek his fortune in Aus
tralia. On landing in Melbourne he
found employment in the local gov
eminent railway workshops, and
there he remained for some years
until he was attracted with many
other Australians to the newly dis
covered gold fields on the west coast
of New Zealand. There he came to
the front as 'diggers' advocate, was
elected to the local municipal council,
became mayor, then M. p, then min
lister of mines and finally the per-
petual premier that he is today.

BALLooNING A FINE PAsTIME
HealthfuI and Free From Danger,
Saws Count de la NauIx,

The French are beginning to make
light of going up in balloons; and
aeronauts tell us that 1t is rapidly
becoming the way to travel. Oh!
there's no danger at all when you
know how to steer; If you keep about
1000 feet above the surface: of the
earth, the air is pure and highly rec
commended to consumptives as heal
ing to their lungs.
At that height you are sure not to
meet obstacles on the surface of the
earth, nor any in the skies. Indeed,
aeronauts and "chauffeurs" agree that
1t is not nearly as dangerous as auto
MODELLING, certainly not for pedestri-
ans, and Count de la Vaulx, who was
the victor in 1900 for long-distance
ballooning, said:
Formerly, when l was practicine
with balloons, there was a very seri
GUS reason why steerable balloons
were absolutely impracticable; there
was no motor. Now that the problem
has been solved, / am ready at any
time, when given sufficient funds, tC

What keeps aerial navigation back

struction of balloons; the silk envel

Iono Ranoe Electricity.

From the Victoria falls to Wit
,watersrand, distance of 700 miles,
engineers propose to carry electrical
power to mine South African gold.
They are convinced the plan will be
commercially successful especially as
the dry climate is most favorable,
while there is no ice in the rivers to
interfere with the working of the tur-
bines and no snow to break down The
transmission lines. 1t is estimated
that in the driest season 100000
horse power could be developed. The
available head of water is about $50
feet, but a head of 1000 feet could be
obtained by engineering works of a
comparatively light type. This would
produce about 1OOO,OOO,OOO horse
power. At present $15,O0OOOO is
spent annually on the Rand for
power.

She Always Made Home Happy.

plain marble stone, in New Eng
land churchyard, bears this brief in
scription, "She always made home
happy"
This epitaph was penned by a be-
reaved husband after sixty years OF
welded life. He might have said OF
his departed wife that she was beauu-
full and accomplished, and an orna-
ment to society, and yet not said she
made home happy He might have
added she was a Christian and not
have been able to say, "She made
home happy"
What a rare combination of virtues
this wife and mother must have pos
sessed! How wisely she must have
ordered her house! In what patience
she must have possessed her soul!
How self-denying she must have been!
How tender and loving! How thought
full for the comfort of all about her!
Her husband did not seek happiness
in public places, because he found en-
joyment, purer and sweeter at home.
Her children, far away, did not
dread to return, for there was no place
to them so dear as home. There was
their mother thinking Of them, and
praying for them, longing for their
coming.
When tempted they thought of her.
When in trouble they remembered her
kind voice and her ready sympathy.
When sick they must go home; they
would not die away from their dear
mother.
This wife and mother was not ex-
empt from the cares common to her
place. She toiled; she suffered disap-
pointments and bereavements; she
was afflicted in her own person, but
yet she was submissive and cheerful.
The Lords will concerning her was
| her will, and so she passed away, leav.
ing this sweet remembrance behind
her. "She always made home happy"

HAVE PERPETUAL MOTION IDEA.
Many Men of Ability at Work on
This Problem.


In the days of the Mayflower the
first perpetual motion inventors took
out their patents for engines which,
being put in order, will cause and
mainteyne their own mocions with
continuance and without any bor-
rowed force of man, horse, wind, river
or brooke" and in the last century
they have applied for about 600 pat
ents which are based chiefly on the
force of gravity, less of equilibrium,
specific gravity of floats and weights
immersed in water or other liquid, as
cension of receptacles inflated with
air or gas under water, compression
and subsequent expansion of gases,
and of the surface tension of liquids.
So sanguinely hopeful are these in
genious designers that in many cases
they provide brakes to stop their ma
chimes if necessary, or to prevent any
dangerous increase of speed. The
care and thought expended on the
principle and detail of many of the in
Ventions demonstrates that many men
of mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successfully solv-
ing the problem.

GROWING IMPORTANCE OF MICA
Essential in Electrical Apparatus and
Has No Substitute

Mica Is mineral with mission.
1t is an essential in electrical apparat-
us and has no substitute. 1t is pro-
duced especially in the land where
every prospect pleases." India en-
ploys more persons in mica mining
than any other, and the area covered
by mica deposits is the largest known,
yielding in 1902 685 tons from 200
mines. The system followed is to
open cuts along the outcrops of the
mines where mica crystals are found,
and to alternate with crosscuts at
right angles through the vein forrha-
ton. The material is raised to the
surface by rows Of native women plac-
ed along the inclined opening, who
pass buckets filled with mica from
hand to hand, or pitchers filled with
water for draining the works. The
rough sheets are crudely trimmed by
knife, done up into packages, and
carried by carts to the shipping
points. The wages paid are scarcely
union labor rates, the women getting
six cents a day, the men eight, and
the oversers sixteen.
