of Cat Tail creek, near Winona this
state. A few days ago the writer had
the pleasure of a few days visit at
the McCrary ranch, anr while there
We made a visit to the pond which
the beavers have made BY building a
dam . half mile lone across the low
lands at the mouth of the Cat Tail
creek. The dam is from four to six
creek he dam is from four to five
feet high and is of mud sticks and
logs. The pond covers from forty to
sixty acres and is from two to SIX
feet deep and is covered with trees,
cottonwood etc. The beaver seem

thinks they are covering too much
territory with water he breaks The
dam and the beaver commence to re-
pair the break the following night.
M. McCrary says they have force
enough to do. as much work in one
night as three good men with spades
could do In one day. Mr. McCrary
would not say how many beaver he
thought he owned But no one who
looks at the amount of work they
have done and the amount Of food
they are putting UP for the winter
would estimate the number at less
than two hundred to four hundred.
They commenced to build their
dam nearly fifteen years ago. and nc
one has been allowed to trap or dis.
#turb them since. 81

THE GREATEST OF FOOLS.

The person who kills another whom
he hates is fool. even from his own
viewpoint of the desira bility and salts
faction of revenge. For he cannot
thus wreak revenge. He makes others,
innocent persons, against whom be
probably has no grudge, to suffer, and
not the person he suddenly kills. Sud
den death is no punishment, for the
victims suffering is instantly over. If
person wants to execute vengeance
upon another, he should plan not to
kill him, but rather to make him mis-
erable in life. Life is dear to the per-
son killed, but we cannot contemplate
him suffering after death, for the loss
of life. Suffering must be conscious.
For all we may know death may have
been benefit. cause of joy to him.
The soul cannot be killed or tortured
by killing the body. Many person
thinks he has levenged himself upon
another by killing him instantly, but
he is entirely mistaken; in such case
the intended victim did not have even
minute of suffering. The surer the
murderer's physical aim, the greater
his miss of his mental aim.
Not only so, but the person who
kills another because of hatred of him
Furnishes himself along with innocent
people. Almost invariably, as soon as
the heat of his passion has passed away,
he is filed with regret. he is tortured
by remorse, he would fain change
places and conditions with the dead,
whose face haunts and horrifies him.
Perhaps he is tried and hanged, or i'm
prisoned for the act. and if so doesn' t
he suffer infinitely more than his vic
tim could have done in the brief space
between the shot and dissolution?
And even if the law excuses the act,
conscience will not, and must there
not be lifelong regret for the suffering
caused mother or wife or sister or
children of the dead mans people who
had never done the avenger any wrong.
and to whom it is as impossible to
make reparation as it would be to fly
to heaven with wings of his own con-
struotion?
What folly, then, it is to kill hated
person, even if it were wise for one to
hate another aud wish to wreak ven-
geanee upon him. Take any case of
sudden. passionate killing, aud ask,
who suffers, the person killed or the
one who killed? Laying aside both
the moral aud the statute law, the
murderer through bate is the worlds
creates. fool. Portland journal.

People generally have been waiting
to see what the "reform element" in
Spokane would do, since the new Off
GERS had been elected by the direct
primary system, and consequently the
officials come nearer representing the
peoples choice than any other set.
It would seem that the power in con-
trol means business, as one of the first
steps was to cut out box rustling, en-
force the barmaid act, and order all
toxes out. This order went into effect
May 81, the owners of the places being
given square DEAL" in that they
might have time for the change. For
that one reason the new administration
starts off we'll, for it has set the mark
over which the vicious element must
not cross, and has also given ample
warning. From the tenor of Spokane
dispatches the new power means tusi-
ness from the start and future develop.
ments will be watched with interest.

The Press sincerely believes that
in electing Homer |. Watts 10 the prin-
cipalship of the school, the board has
made no mistake. aud it is also pleased
to note the selection of Miss Sharp and
Miss Gibbons to serve the district
again this year. The new principal is a
young and capable man. and is known
personally to majority of the readers
Of the Press. Into his work he takes
with him limited experience in teach
ing. but any lack in this respect would
appear to be supplied by the splendid
laurels he has garnered in his excep-
tionally successful school and college
work. Surely graduate from
Normal school; two.yeaI course in
preparatory college; graduate of
state university and also of Harvard,
coupled with indomitable push, COM
mon sense, energy, judgment-diplo-
macy and muscle to enforce discipline
should be sufficient credentials that
the man possessing them is able to sue
cessfully conduct graded school.
Mr.. Watts has all these, and the Press
believes the Athena school will he
heard from.

Reading between the lines of the
statement issued by the japanese
Chambers of Commerce assent bled at
Toxic, directed to President Roosevelt
and also to the American Chambers of
Commerce, the officials in Washington
see clearly the implied threat of boy
colt against American goods entering
japan. The boycott delivered by
Chinese merchants against American
products two years ago in resentment
Of the treatment accorded Chinese of
the better class entering America in
the course of their travels around the
world was productive of better coudi-
tions, for the Administration exerted
all of its power to amelioIate the rig
ors of the exclusion laws and to facil-
itate the entry of Chinese merchants
and students. Therefore, it is assum-
cd the Japanese merchants have decid-
cd to have recourse to the same method
of showing their resentment against
the treatment accorded to their people
in San Francisco. Unlike the Chinese
merchants, however, they have first
served notice of their intention upon
the American commercial interests so
as to afford them an opportunity to
avert the boycott by bringing pressure
to bear upon the merchants of the
Pacific Coast, now supposedly in need
of Eastern assistance.

tion to figure among the treatymakers
and President baiters. What is there
wrong about.this? Surely the memb bers
of the Oregon Legislature can have
no objection to the judicious distribu-
tion of the fruit of the mines.
One of the Oregon papers suggests
that it joaquin is really anxious to
part with his easily gotten wealth. be
could not have chosen more efficaci-
ous and expeditions method than to
run for Senator from Oregon. 1t ap-
pears that since Oregon adopted the
primary election law, thereby practi-
cally providing that Senators should
be chosen by the people, only rich
men have ghost of show. A min
ing magnate or a timber baron can
spend his tens of thousands in election
eering while the poor but honest states
man is left in the luIch. But this is
no reason why Joaquin, the bold
champion of the glorious climate of

poet has lived and sung since the
