Base Ball
 Season

ls~right on hand and so is our stock Eof base balls, bats and gloves. This n the kind of news the boys like to hear. You see by returning the checks which we give with our de icious tea and coffee at our store they can get ball, bat and glove yes, and a few clouts around the ears providing they steal the checks from mamma; but that cuts no ice in the good old summer time. Of course II { the mother is saving the checks to get something more valuable for the home she doesn't like to part With them, but when the youngsters ind out where the checks are somehow . little bird flies in and takes them, and it doesn't matter what the con sequences are so long as they get the outfit. We'll. which is the worse crime, the boy to steal the checks or the mother to deprive the boy of hav- ing the outfit for our national game when it doesn't cost her a cent? We'll. while the boys are playing base ball the girls should be home helping mamma do the housework; but if you start cooking and, for instance, you haven't got mixing bowl to do the mixing with, you'll be. very much hampered. Now if you buy pound of our Baking Powder, 45c per pound, we will give you a large mix ing bowl but we won't say how long this bargain will last at

SAME OLD wAsrEFUL POLICY.

a dispatch from Seattle says that
the season of 1907 will go down in
the history of Pacific coast salmon
canneries as the worst on record. The
Alaskan catch will be 40O,O0 cases
short of the 1906 output and like
decentralization is experienced at all
the big canneries on the coast and the
Columbia river.
The salmon cannery trust, like the
timber land and sawmill trust of the
Pacific coast has simply destroyed
within a few years one of the msot
magnificent resources of the Pacific
coast.
The salmon trust has evaded ignor-
ed and defied all laws passed for the
preservation of salmon, just as the
sawmill trust has evaded, ignored and
defied the laws and all pleas for the
preservation of Pacific coast forests.
Both numbering and salmon cam
ming are now 'on their last legs on
the Pacific coast, unless something
sensible and humane and business
like. is done to preserve these splendid
resources of the coast.
The same old wasteful policy has
been practiced by stockmen in the
interior in overcrowding ranges, eat
ing out grass without regard for fu-
ture supply and in destroying water
sources in a year or two, which should
have lasted for all future time, by a
small expenditure for preservation
and protection.
Where there is wilful waste there
will be woeful want"

HARD WORK IN HONEY MAKING.

Comforting hot weather reflection
from the Independence, Kan, Report
er: when you eat a spoonful of
honey you have very little notion as
to the amount of work and travel
necessary to produce It, To make one
pound of clover honey bees must de-
prive $4,000 clover blossoms of their
nectar, and to do this requires 2 ga
million visits to the blossoms by the
bees. In other words, one bee to col
lect enough nectar to make one pound
of honey must go from hive to flower
and back "a million times.
Then when you think how far
these bees sometimes fly in search of
these clover fields, oftener than not
one or two miles from the hive, you
will begin to get a small idea of the
number of miles one of the industri-
Gus little creatures must travel in
order that you may have the pound
of honey that gives them so much
trouble. 1t may also help you to
understand why the bee is unamible
enough to sting you If you get in its
wa%. When one has 10 work so hard
to accomplish so little, it is quite irri-
tating to be interfered with"

LOSSES BY PROHIBITION.

Business interests" of Georgia are
making a loud howl over the property
losses which will be sustained by the
establishment of prohibition. 1t is
estimated that s2,500,O0O worth of
property including breweries and sa-
loon fixtures will be rendered worth
less.
This may be true, but does that
make the business right?
How many millions did Georgia
loose by the emancipation of the
slaves? If the wealth was based on
false foundation, if it had no just
economic basis, 1t could not expect to
survive always.
Every gambler in Astoria will make
loud cry about his property being
destroyed by the closing of gambling.
No doubt. But If a man engages in an
illegitimate business is he entitled to
protection? Should the moonshiner's
stills in the Tennessee mountains be
protected by law?
The value of any property depends
altogether upon the uses to which 1t
| is put, in the final analysis of gov
ernment. The pistols, masks and shot
guns of trainrobbers have value to
those engaged in the business, but
from an economic standpoint they are
not worth much.
The real source and foundation of
wealth In Georgia will not be affected
by prohibition. The land will produce
as much, cotton will be worth as
much, corn and hogs and lumber Will
be as valuable as before the prohibi-
ton bill was signed.

- ---------
STANDARD is HARD HIT.

Judge lands of Chicago, who re-
Gently imposed a fine of over s29,-
100000 on the Standard Oil trust for
wilful and repeated violation of the
laws, delivered from the bench some
of the hardest blows ever received by
a lawless organization in the United
States.
In giving his decision in the Stand
ard Oil case, Judge Landis said among
other things equally as pointed and
effective:
I'VE may as well look at this sltua-
ton squarely. The men who thus de-
1iberately violated this law wound So
ciety more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coin or steals letters
from the mails. The nominal defend
ant is the Standard Oil company of
Indiana, a $1,000, 900 corporation. The
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
whose capital is s1OO,00o,OOO, is the
real defendant"
Here is a fearless judge sitting up
on the bench, calling this criminal
. corporation a common thief, on an
equal footing with the counterfeiter
or postoffice burglar.
Remember that Judge Lands is
not a labor agitator, a walking dele
, gate or a blatant calamity howler, but
he ranks among the most competent,
capable and high-minded men of the
nation. He is conservative, learned
thoughtful and presumably honest,
and his estimate of the Standard Oil
trust is the result Of careful and con-
scientious investigation.
When Judges of such high stand
ing and well balanced tempers. de-
nominate this octopus as common
thief is It to be wondered at that the
mass Of the people become violent
and almost incendiary in thinking OF
the robberies of this criminal gang?
The wonder is that the people have
contained their Indignation as long as
they have.

LOST MINES OF MEXICO.

The search for the lost turquoise
mines of New Mexico began with the
close of the Mexican war, and was
prosecuted unavailingly for more than
quarter of a century says John l..
Cowan in the Sunday Record-H Herald.
Several times prospectors reached es-
tablished towns and mining camps
with small specimens of precious tur-
quoise or matrix, and the announce
ment that the lost mines had been re-
discovered; but in every case hostile
Apaches or Comanches massacred the
discoverers before the exact location
of the mines was made public.
Not until the last of the Indian
wars of the southwest had been
fought and the last frontier thorough
ly subdued were the turquoise mines
demonstrated to be more than an in
substantial myth. The mines of
Mount Chalchihuitl were rediscovered
in 1885, and are now controlled by
the Tiffany company of New York.
The celebrated Azure mine of this
district is said to be the richest tur-
quoise mine, yielding the most perfect
gems in the world. 1t is currently
reported that a single mass of pure
turquoise was taken from this mine
few years ago that was valued at
s5,00O,000. 1t is said to have been
broken into small pieces and placed
on the market in fractional quantities,
to avoid destroying the value of this
gem.
The lost turquoise mines of the
Burro mountains were rediscovered
at about the same time by John E.
Coleman, better known throughout
the southwest as Turquoise John"
They are little( IL any less valuable

THE WORLDS SMALLEST ARMIES

Even If the dream of disarming the
world should ever be realized, there
are several countries that would not
have much to do, as, for instance,
Monaco, whose army consists of rs
guards, rs carabineers and 20 f1remen.
The next smallest army is that Of
Luxembourg, with 1876 gendarmes, 170
volunteerse, and 80 musicians. In the
Republic of San Marino they can put
in the field a total of nine companies,
or $50 men and 3S officers, command
ed by marshal. The army on a peace
footing consists of one company of
60 men.
The most amusing of all the
armies" however, is that of Liberia.
This country's fighting force is COM
posed of 700 men and 500 officers;
but the latter are evidently deemed
very terrible by their government, as
the republic issues proclamations of
neutrality when wars break out be-
tween any Of the powers.-Chicago

THE LAST WORD.

Creep in thy narrow bed,
Creep, and let no more be saidl
Vain thy onset! all stands fast,
Thou thyself must break at last.
Let the long contention cease!.
Geese are swans and swans are geese
Let them have it how they will!
Thou art tired; best be still.
They out-talk'd thee, hissed, thee, tore
thee;
Better men Jared thus before thee,
Fired their ringing shot and passed,
Hotly charged-and sank at last.
Charge once more, then, and be dumb
Let the victors, when they come,
When the forts Of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall!
Matthew Arnold.

RATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord;
He is tramping out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
of his terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
I have seen him in the watchfires of
a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the
evening dews and damps;
1 can read his righteous sentence by
the dim and flaring lamps.
His day is marching on.
I have read fiery gospel, writ in bur-
nished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so
with you my grace shall deal;
Let the hero. born of woman, crush
the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on"
He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men
before his judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer him;
be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With glory in his bosom that trans
figures you and me;
AS he died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free
While God is marching on.
Julia Ward Howe.

There is no more destructive policy
for a people to follow than to patron
ize foreign peddlers in community.

alike, four swallows. feathers and all
together well bruised, three ounces of
sallet oil, beat the herbs and the swal-
lows, feathers and all together, until
they be 30 small that you can see no

INJUSTICE TO OUR NovELIsTs.

Undoubtedly the campaign which
Mrs. Emelie D. Martin is conducting
under the auspices of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union against
the literature of drink and drunken
ness is unfair, in this that 1t is direct
ed against living authors whose heroes
are addicted to the bottle or the weed,
while the old-time masters of litera-
ture are permitted to go uncensored.
Why, 1t may well be asked. are the
moderns put under the ban while the
evil which the dead authors did is al
lowed to live on? Homer's heroes, of
course, were guiltless of the weed.
But shall they receive carte blanche
to drink Gargantuan draughts in
shilling reprints for the general reader
and for school boys in the original
Greek? Shall Thackerays and Field
ing's three bottle men continue to
grow mellow unrestrained and Fall
staff to praise the virtues of sack?
Is the Indiana novelist of today to
be Disseminated against, and his
genius restrained because he was born
in an age that has produced women
who have advanced ideas as to what
men should drink on social occasions :?

MUSIC OF THE MOUNTAINS.

William L. Finley the naturalist,
has an excellent article in the August
number of Sunset Magazine on
"Feathered Foragers," which is a BIZ
ography of the eagle and the owl.
The frontispiece of the August num-
Der Of Sunset is a photograph Of a
golden eagle. called a northwest
pioneer"
The sketch Of the eagle reminds
pioneers Of the northwest of the fact
that the natural music Of the noun
tains, the familiar sounds which greet
ed their ears in early days in their
lonely homes In the foothills, is grad
ually vanishing.
The scream Of the eagle from his
home among TIE pines, and the quer-
ulous whlmpering of the coyote,
standing guard on his watch tower
among the cliffs, were once sweet
music to the pioneer ears.
In many lonely settlement back in
the hills, these sounds were at times
the only evidences of animated ma
ture. The pioneers grew to love them
and to expect them. While these
enemies Of man kept the settler on
the alert yet did the settler welcome
them.
Settlement is driving back into the
more Isolated places, both the eagle
and the coyote. Soon the wild
choruses of the mountains Of the
northwest will be rare. Civilization

than those of Mount Chalchihuitl
The lost mine of Old Hachiti was
found late in the sos, and those of
the Jarillas so recently as in 1898.
Both of these show unmistakable signs
of having been worked extensively
centuries ago.

soothing melodies, but wild as they
are and harsh as they may seem, yet
do pioneers love the voices of their
co-partners in the settlement of the
western foothills-the golden eagle
and the skulking coyote.
