SAYS PRESIDENT WAS TO BLAME
Burton of Kansas Accuses Roosevelt
of Personally Prosecuting Him.


Abilene, Kan.-Joseph R. Burton,
former United States senator from
Kansas, received reception more en-.
thusiastic than that given him when
he first returned as senator, when he
returned to his home town Saturday,
after five months Imprisonment at
Ironton, Mo.
At the theatre, at night the ex-sen'
ator delivered; his expected speech
on the subject, why | Was Prose
cuted." The theatre, which accommo-
dates about 900 persons, was packed
to it's capacity, many people standing
and many unable to gain admittance.
When Mr.. Burton, without an in
PRODUCTION or other ceremony, rose
to speak he was greeted by an out
burst of applause, and his speech was
frequently interrupted by applause.
The ex-senator was much affected at
times, and once he broke down en-,
tirely and wept. On two other occa
sions during the speech he was over
come by his emotions. His wife, who
sat on the stage, was the only woman
in the audience.
Mr.. Burton, during the course of his
address, charged President Roosevelt
with being guilty of personally per-
scouting him, because, as he claimed,
of his acting independently of the
president, and charged that the pres
ident has promoted about every man
who has helped to convict him.

MISSISSIPPI PAVED WITH GOLD
Preparations Being Made to Reclaim
Millions of Logs in the Bed
of the River
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 20-Log'
ging operations in Minnesota have now
advanced to the point where not only
the dead and down timber is utilized
to the utmost but steps are now being
taken for the reclamation of the dead
heads" or sunken logs at the bottom
of the Mississippi river Fabulous
wealth, represented by the various
number of logs that have been accum-
ulating alongs the river for decades,
awaits the men who reclaim it froni
the depths.
1t is believed that the river bottom
is literally paved with logs from st.
Anthony Falls almost to its source,
For the last forty years from 5OO,OOO,-
600 to 6O0,00O0 900 feet of logs have been
fioated down the river and the NUM-
ber that have gone to the bottom Is
beyond estimating. For more than 250
miles the bottom of the river is lined
with logs.
1t has been demonstrated that logs
may be raised with great profit. Wal
lace A. Burt and others have been con-
templating for some time the advisa-
bility OF hoisting these logs and with
that object in view have laid their
plans before a number Of the leading
iumbermen. The plan is TO raise the
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-21

logs by hoisting engines and land them
ashore, where a government official
will scale and record the marks found
on them. When the original owner
can be found he will be compensated
for the logs at the rate of $8 a thou
sand feet. This represents just so
much "velvet" to the owners and still
leaves a margin of profit to the hoist
ers, who can find ready market for
the reclaimed logs at from S12 to $l4
a thousand feet.
The logs that became deadheads or
"sinkers" are chiefly OF the small Nor
way pine variety, known to lumber
men as pig iron" Norway. They sell
dom get to be more than eight TO
twelve inches through at the butt and
are, heavy and soggy. Rivermen say
that great many of these sink before
leaving the landing, a few of them
deadhead IL down stream for a way,
one end bobbing above water until.
thoroughly water soaked, they sink TO
rise no more. Some of these bobbers
succeed in reaching the mills, but a
large percentage of them go to the
bottom.

Young woman laughed while the cere-

Cabe yesterday stopped in the middle
of it and refused to continue until she
ceased.
The bride was Nina Brown of New
York who was being married to Walter
Jones.
Marriage is not laughing matter
said Judge McCabe when he stopped
the ceremony. "I will not perform a
marriage ceremony which is regarded
as a laughing affair. When you can
stop laughing and seem to realize Just
q little more that this is not side
show, perhaps we viii resume the cere-
mony."
Then the judge walked out of the
clerks office where the ceremony was
being performed. The couple were just
half married. Jones had sworn to love,
cherish and support Miss Brown, but
Miss Brown owed him no allegiance of
any kind. Miss Brown seemed to en-
ioy the situation of being single herself
and still having Jones married to her.
Jones expostulated with her for some
time and at length informed the judge
that the lady isn't laughing now"
The Judge went back to the perform
ance Of the ceremony which made a

a Brief History Of ST. Valentines Day.


Doubtless many of the readers of
The Keowee Courier have no CON-
ception of what is meant by St.
Valentines Day. Others probably
have never taken the trouble to in.
vestigate its significance. This fact
is especially 80 among the children
growing up. Therefore, for the
benefit of those who wish to have
some light on this subject, we pub
lish the following:
From the early writings of Chaucer
to the strongest writer's of to-day we
find poems and songs written about
st. Valentines Day.
st. Valentines Day is a day cele.
brated in honor of Bishop Valentine,
who was born in the beautiful land
of Italy 800 A. ID. Few legends
are handed down to US concerning
the life of this old saint. However,
we know that he suffered martyrdom
at the command of the Roman EN-
peror Claudius.
AS to why February IA should be
called st. Valentines Day history
tells us that it was simply an acoi-
dent, for it could have been called
anything else. 1t was just day set
aside to celebrate special events
which took place on that day; know
ing, however, that St. Valentine was
especially fond of children, this day
took its name from him.
The history of St. Valentines Day
is traced back to the Roman Luper.
