4 RIGHTEOUS VERDICT.

William D. Haywood, the secretary
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners, once more breathes the air
of freedom. After deliberating for %
hours the jury acquitted him of the
charge of numbering former Governor
Steunenberg. A more righteous YER
dict was never rendered by Jury
than that by the II men in Boise who,
after listening patiently for. two
months to the evidence, found William
D. Haywood mot guilty." AnySother
verdict would have been a travesty on
justice. The verdict of those II Idaho
jurors will be approved of by every
fair-minded man and woman and
every lover of justice in the civilized
world.

Around the World In Forty Davs.

The prophetic and lively magma
tion of the late Jules Verne recorded
one of it's most daring flights, when he
wrote that entertaining work,
"Around the World in Eighty Days."
and it is probable that none of us,who
read it's chapters supposed that he
would live to see the day when. the
Frenchman's estimate of eighty days
would be cut in half by an enterpris-
ing officer of the British army, iwho
set out TO- test the speed Of modern
around-the-earth7 travel for. himself.
In a recent letter to the London Times
Lieut.. Col. Burnley Campbell awrote
that he landed at Dover on the 18th of
June at the completion of trip
around the world which occupied
forty days and nineteen and one-half
hours. s.-Seientific American

Duluth saloon keepers apparently
look at the ''lid' enforcement from a
more sensible viewpoint than do their
brethren in Minneapolis. The former
are content to close on Sundays and
let it 60 at that, but the Minneapolis
fellows advocate retaliatory meas
ure and seek to enforce the %blue
laws" which would make compulsory
the closing of parks, theaters,
pavilions, confectionery, cigar and
drug stores. The cid" is all right,
when applied to saloons, but there are
places as drug stores-which
would cause much public inconveni-
ence if closed.

Robert G. Mitchell, editor of the
Duluth Tribunal, died suddenly at his
home in Woodland on Friday AFTER
noon last, aged "A years. In it's trib-
ute to MIR. Mitchell the Duluth News
Tribune5sa says in part: & @g IL
With Robert G. Mitchell passes the
last of the fine old editors whose vigor
and bravery helped to make the his
tory they recorded in the early days.
He was to northern Minnesota, in the
infancy of Duluth and this region,
what Joseph A. Wheelock was to St.
Paul. r. G. Mitchell was a fearless
fighter, a man of marvellous energy
and dauntless courage. His physical
and mental prowess were equal to the
tests made upon them by his fiery
spirit. He was a man of strong and
abiding convictions and one predis
posed, both in sympathy and warfare
to the cause of the under dog.'' His
potent individuality has left an abid
ing impression upon the history O
Duluth and St. Louis county.

Dry Land Farming.

Good, hard sense and the applica-
tion of intelligent methods are dem
onstrating that no matter how desira-
BILE irrigation may be, much of the
land in the semi-arid regions of the
northwest is susceptible to cultivation
with no more water than the clouds
and snow supply. With the settlement
of the lands contiguous to rivers and
creeks attention is being paid to the
so-called "dry-land farming,"s and
with uniformly good results. @ 81 8

The Granite Falls Tribune, edite

The Granite Falls Tribune, edited
and published by J. L. Putnam, has
passed the quarter-century mark; It
is safe to say that "Old Put,'' as he
is familiarly known to the newspaper
boys, has put in more time at his desk
writing, reading, gossiping with
callers, and chewing tobacco-than
any other editor in the state. Six
days week, from 7 in the morning
to 9 in the evening meal times of
course excepted you will find "Put''
at his post. "Put" is methodical in
everything, and to this may be largely
attributed his success as newspaper
man. The Union hopes that the
droll old cuss may live to run. his
paper another quarter of a century.

There is at least one trust in this
country which has not had the effect
of raising prices-the watch trust.
Watches twenty five years ago, before
the existence of this trust, we're at
least forty per cent higher in price
than they are today. This is the
reason, perhaps, that President
Roosevelt has not listed the watch
trust for dissolution.

Denatured Alcohol Regulations Up to Date
Amended denatured alcohol regula-
tions have been issued by the commits
sioner of internal revenue, to take the
place, on Sept. !, of the regulations
heretofore issued and are made neces-
sary by the act passed by the last
congress.
Under the new regulations in addi-
tion to denatured warehouses on dis
tillery premises, central denaturing
warehouses may be constructed at
such points as business interests may
require and alcohol may be trans
ferred from denaturing warehouses
by means of tanks or tank cars to
consumers.
Manufacturers using complete dena-
tured alcohol are not required to
swear to application for permit, and
permit when secured continues in
force until revoked, and retail dealers
in denatured alcohol are not required
to keep a record of any kind. Indus
trial or farm distilleries may produce
alcohol from anything that contains
fermentable matter. At these dis
tilleries one room may be used as a
combined cistern, distillery warehouse
and denaturing warehouse.
Industrial distilleries are divided
into two classes. In the first class are
placed distillers of a surveyed ca
pacity of fifty proof gallons or less of
spirits in twenty-four hours. At such
distilleries storekeeper gaugers are
not regularly assigned unless the
collector certifes that in his opinion
the presence of an officer at a partic-
ular distillery is necessary.
Distilleries of the second class are
those that produce more than fifty
gallons and less than one hundred
gallons of distilled spirits daily. At
distilleries of this class an officer will
be regularly assigned unless the COL
lector shall certify that the distillery
can safely operate without one.
Manufacturers using specially de-
natured alcohol are, under the new
regulations, relieved from keeping a
record of the goods in the manufac-
ture of which denatured alcohol is
used.
Proprietors of Industrial distilleries
and manufacturers recovering alco-
hol in manufacturing processes, where
but small quantity of alcohol is de-
natured, are not required to provide
themselves with denaturing material
rooms or to have the denaturants reg
ular]y tested, but may procure ap-
proved authorized denaturants either
from central denaturing warehouses
or from distilleries at which regular
denaturing warehouses are estab-
lished.
