Month and
Shor.-Lsai fiho Siumped in Price.

Lumber dealers in Walhalla are not
greatly concerned over slump which
has taken place in the market as o result
of the agitation against short-leaf pine
by the building authoritie o New York
city.
The trouble is only temporary, as lum-
bermen of the State Lave already taken
steps to show that discrimination against
their lumber is undeserved. The trouble
was precipitated by unsatisfactory Vir-
ginia timber. 1t appears that the Vir-
ginia timber has not the strength of
South Carolina or Georgia, aud recently
isfactory that ban was placed against
all short-leaf Southern pine. In conse-
quence of the action in regard to short
leaf pine by the builders of New York,
shipments of lumber have received set
back at all Southern ports.

Crystal sky Columns.

An explanation Of a curious optical
phenomenon, sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights, which Is called the ''pseu-
do aurora is offered by a scientist.
The phenomenon takes the form Of
beautiful columns Of silvery light
standing over electric arc lamps and
other bright lights and sometimes ap-
pearing almost to reach the zenith.
The scientist says that sometimes the
evening star has q bright shaft below
as we'll as above, while the rising moon
stands in a broad column of light.
These appearances are due to floating
frost crystals which keep their reflect
ing faces horizontal. On examination
he found that the crystals concerned
in the exhibition were thin six sided
plates Of Ice, never more than one mill
limeter in diameter. When the wind
blows, these little plates are upset, and
the columns of light caused by redec-
ton from their surfaces disappear.

President Diaz is himself in part OF
Indian descent and President Juarez
was a -blooded Indian. The In
dams and the Mestizoes alike are am
bilious and progressive and in the
course Of time they will dominate every
branch Of industry and every part Of
the country. In this respect Mexico
stands quite alone, although in all the
south American republics there are
strains OF Indian blood, but in no one
Of them have the Indians the upper
hand as they have in Mexico The
progress Of Mexico to the front rank
OF nations is. therefore, a tribute TO the
American Indian. for II is he that has
made that country and II is he that
must keep ii In the line Of progress
throughout the present century. We
now send an ambassador TO Mexico
instead Of a minister as formerly, and
ii IS said that Great Britain and
France Will soon do likewise. Mexico's
rise has not been as meteoric as Japan's
but it IS one full Of merit and promise,
and it goes to show that the American
Indian is not altogether decadent when
confronted by modern civilization

Excuse Of Election Judge Blown Away
by investigator.

In recalling incidents connected
with Virginia politics some years ago
a prominent Virginiau recently re-
lated an account of an investigation
of election frauds in the lower Sec
ton of the state In the course of
the proceedings it developed that the
ballots in an important precinct had
not been sealed after the final count,
thereby being exposed to fraudulent
practices. The chairman of the inves-
tigaung committee closely questioned
the election judge as to why the pre-
scribed duty of carefully securing the
ballots had been neglected.

Japanese in California.

A Japanese newspaper man and auth
or who has studied in American col
leges has an interesting article in the
current Independent on The Japanese
in California" Since about 1890 over
40. 900 japanese have settled in that
state OF these more than 10000 are
engaged in agriculture as land owners,
tenants and laborers.
In San Francisco there are 10000
more, while in the entire United States
there are aboue 10000, mere handful
as compared to the number of other
foreign people of almost any national
ity. Their paucity in numbers can be
appreciated when compared to the Ger
mans. Swedes or Norwegians In our
own state.
In San Francisco they have two daily
and three weekly papers in their own
language, but they are eager to learn
English and nearly every family has
an English paper. They have brought
TO that state their skill In husbandry
and there is a large demand for them
as farm laborers. as well as for railroad
construction work and in other great
enterprises.
There is but one serious problem
connected with the coming Of the Jap
anese to this country. 1t is not in
their numbers. which Will always be
inconsiderable because Of the compare
lively small total population Of Japan,
and their preference for the mainland
of Asia
But 1t is in their susceptibility to
American civilization and the POSSIBLE
ity Of absorbing them into our popu-
lation that their race distinctions may
gradually disappear On this Will
largely depend their loyalty to our flag
rather than their own, so that in the
remote event of a war with Japan the
danger of hostile population scattered
along both coasts and in every state
would be eliminated
The best way, however, and the sur
est way to counterfeit once japanese
always a japanese is to admit their
children to our schools as the COM
panions of our children. AS Mr.. Kaw-
akami says, the question is, whether
or not the Japanese are not good
enough to mix with the Americans.
1t is absurd to say that they are not.
They are studious, obedient and of good
manners They would bring no con-
tamination, physical or moral. while in
the schools, and only in the schools, If
at all, can any so distinctly foreign
race be made loyal citizens.-Duluth

OF their own bodies to the sunlight is
equally necessary to their own health.
The sun baths Go not cost anything,

are still deluded with the idea that
those things only can be good or useful
which cost money. Let 1t not be for
