is now manufacturing very high grade
of pipe organ. Besides this. there arc
cabinet works using the fine timber Of
that region, which Is oak, beech. maple
and birch. There are also other thriv-

around it are many of them important
| manufacturing centers, with the great
International Paper Company at Bel

timber obtained in the Connecticut VAL

lars which have been taken out
of the mines in this county
Has it been wisely invested in
the upbuilding of your county
and State I? No 1t has been
invested elsewhere and in a
measure you have been robbed.
Surprising that part of this
money had been used in estab-
| fishing factories, stamp mills
and smelters and in the building
of a railroad into the heart of
your mines and valleys what
would have occurred The
money taken out of one of your
richest mines would have built
the road. Today you would be
basking in prosperity. How
ever you are not to give up the
ship !! 1t is through persever-
.ence we reach the stars. In
life's battles the man who has
unyielding grit reaches the goal.
Once when Henry Clay and a
party took a stage ride over
some eastern mountains he con-
cluded 10 get out and walk ahead
of the stage. When the driver
drew up to him he was seen
standing up like a statute, look
ing into the distance from a
mountain top. Some one asked
him what he was doing. He re-
piled : I am listening to the
on coming tramp, tramp of fut-
ure generations - Yes, they
are coming and very soon every
western state will be teeming
with a happy and prosperous
people. If you wish to be one
among them get a hold of some

never has anything to do in a
public way is on the road to the
cemetery. Any citizen who will
do nothing for his own town is

man who curses the town furn-

is so selfish as to have no time
from his own business to help it
along is making the shroud.
The man who will not talk it up
is driving the hearse. The man
who is always pulling back from
any public enterprise throws
bouquets on the grave. The
man who is so stingy as to be
bowling hard times, breaches

Doxology and thus the town lies
buried from all care and sorrow
1t is little use for an editor to
waste his lungs and sprain his
spine in trying to boom town
when the citizens all stand
around with their hands in their
pockets and indiffereutly wait

side of the copper mines at Mac,
kay, am reliably informed, that
Challis is backed by richer and
more varied resources than eth
er town. This / hope will again
be proven most conclusively
when all our adjacent mines are
ia active operation. Below us is
the fertile Round and Pahsama-
roi valleys, while the other side
of Mackay is a desert waste.
Yet, Mackay would like to be-
come our county seat, an unless
the taxpayers in this vicinity
wake up and work for their own
interests, individually and col
lectively, Mackay will win the
day. The new county court
house grounds were laid out
some time ago in that town and
are being improved. Money and
votes can change any metropolis
or county seat. Suppose such a
thing did occur how your homes
and farms would naturally de-
crease in value. Imagine a man
driving from Seafoam, 175 miles,
or'Loon Creek-only 1874 miles
to Mackay to pay his taxes. This
question is a most vital and seri-
Gus one to property holders. How
can you remedy this evil and at
the same time enjoy prosperity ?
Stand up for your rights. In
corporate your town at once or
else it will always be a COW
AND HORSE PASTURE ! AS
it is you have no protection from
fire, no water system, no electric
lights, no curfew bell, no side
walks. No minor ordinances to
check crime and establish order.
AS long as this continues villiany
will remain rampant and your
sons and daughters will grow up
in vice.
But you say the taxes will be
so much higher. Not necessar-
Ily so. A mayor, clerk, treas
lrer, four aldermen and marshal
would be all the officers neces-
sary to have charge of the town

involved in the occurrence of such phenomena,

We do not remove the mystery in the least by
talking about telepathy explanation of them.
In fact, telepathy explains nothing, 1t is only
name for type of facts which require explanation.
What their is do not yet know. The general
public, however thinks that, if it only refer such
facts to telepathy mind reading, it all
perplexlties from the phenomena. Nothing could
be more of illusion. Telepathy only indicates
that the facts classified by the term do not have the
ordinary casual agency to account for them. The
scientific man knows this, and shows disposition
to enthuse over telepathy of any kind, much less
the kind of teepathy that is required to explain the
Piper case. He rightly feels that it is better to
confess ignorance than to exhibit much credulity
to accept assert large capacity asis involved
in the assumption of such systematic and occult
access to living memories 1t only makes the phe
nonena mysterious, instead of clearly
ineligible. But whatever the explanation they
think, telepathy is not that.

Mlady Arachnid sits coyly in the center of her
web. From distance approaches the eager wooer;
but as he comes closer his gait slackens and his
many eyes watch keenly for any hostile demonstra-
ton. Finding all quiet for the nonce he begins his
dance, alternately drawing in and pushing out the

one makes vicious dash at him. He fees in terror;
but not being pursued, returns and warns up

excitement and the two dance together. But not

think of the many little spiders
which wait in vain, for BIOS
SONS in these great forests are
numberless and bees few, and
many a patient waiter at last
drops from his flower and falls
to the moss, his mission in life
unaccomplished. So when the
miles upon miles of Canadian

the little, white, patient ones
beneath, hugging their flowers,
and waiting day after day
