Says Trail Leads to Haywood.

Senator Borah here plunged directly into
the assassination of Steunenberg. He de-
clared Orchard had planted bomb. as he
had done many times before. He was an
old and experienced criminal, and he was
not alone in the commission of the crime
If he cried, you stand at the gate of
Frank Steunenberg. broken and stained
with his own blood and If from there you
follow the devious way, of Harry Orchard
you will find that the trail of blood passes
up the stairway in Denver up which Orch
ard ran that day while the darky held his
horse at the curb below.
The defense would have you believe
that, Notwithstanding what Meyer may
have done, what Pettibone may have done,
what Slmpkins may have done, or what
orchard may have done, Haywood is not
guilty But the law, gentlemen of the jury,
says that when men knowingly join to-
gether to commit a crime the act of one
is the act of the other no matter where
that other may be at the time of the COM
mission of the crime. 1t is not an answer

When to Take Tea.

Our conclusions with regard to tea are
that its original popular as stmulat-
ing beverage with breakfast and tea is
justified and harmless, but that its indis-
criminate consumption with meat foods or
during proteid digestion, is likely to be
harmful China tea, on account of it's less
tannic acid content is less harmful than
Indian tea. Our results with gingerbeer
showed that this beverage was practically
without influence upon digestion.

Probably the most important American ski tourna-
ment of the present year the recent national ski
tournament" held at Ashland, Wis., February and s.
Devotees of the sport from all parts of the West and
Northwest participated in the meet including nearly
score of ski runners from Chicago. The tournament
was held under the auspices of the National Ski As
ISOLATION, having affiliated ski clubs in many cities and
towns in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota
Michigan, and Illinois. Next years national tourna
ment will be held at Duluth, MINI.

ginnerS, including women and children On Sundays
and in the evenings, the slide has been crowded with
ski runners anxious to improve the opportunity to in

attracted to the park by the novel sight.

shooting down steep slopes at a mile minute
and making sheer jumps through the keen

all, with no other apparatus than a pair of
slender strips of wood bound to your toes.
Such is ski running the national winter
pastime of Scandinavia which is fast becom-
ing highly popular in our own Northwest.
Norway is the home of the ski, though these
hardy northlanders are not its originators,
for it was brought to them by the Laplanders
when the vikings were sea kings.
Forty years ago the mountain mining
camps CT Idaho and Nevada where Norwegian
miners worked, knew the ski. In those
or "snow Shoes" as they were called then,
were a familiar sight, sticking up from the
deep snow beside each mountain cabins
chimney.
This was the first use of the ski in the
United States The Norwegians set the pace.
Had the Canadian half-breeds been gold
hunters, perhaps the "raquette" snow shoe
of the Indian instead of the ski would have
traed the Rockies
Most Of the ski runners are still Norwegians,
but in the last two or three years many
others have taken up the sport with enthu-
siasm, and there is no reason why Americans,
naturally fond of outdoor sports, should not
become masters of the art.
Americans, like Norsemen, possess every
qualification requisite to become expert ski
runners They have the bodily strength and
the necessary grit, and in the north, the ply
steal conditions of the country in many
states lend themselves admirably to the
needs of the ski devotee.
The art of ski running is not so difficult
as many imagine. To the uninitiated, the
sight of a man going down a hill on a pair
of ski at furious speed and at "bump" in
the road suddenly flying into the air, appears
act of mailman, but the fact is such peri

Beside this great event of the year, there

usually high rates of speed are attained
by the runners. The course varies from

40 miles an hour can be reached under the
most favorable weather conditions.
While the distance runs are Of the great
est interest to ski lovers, the enthusiasm of
the spectators reaches its climax during the
high jumping events.
For jumping purposes, large ''jump off"
or ''thank-you-marm" is erected near the
bottom of the hill The competitors start
at the top of the hill, sometimes singy,
sometimes three or four abreast.
Like a flash they go down the steep
incline and before the spectator has time
to wink, he sees the competitors fly into
the air, often soaring above the tops of
the pine trees skirting the hillside The
next moment they are on the ground again
with a clashing sound of the ski as they

FLOUR MILL
AND ELEVATOR
J. A. AND o. L. JONES TO BUILT
ONE ON LOT PURCHASED
IN NASHVILLE.
Will Invest 100000 and Expect t.
Employ About One Hundred
Men.

Mr.. J. A. Jones and his son, O. l..
Jones, who recently purchased lot
from the city. located in the City Park
addition on Hume and Van Buren,
streets, between Third and Fourth
avenues, have decided to erect a large
and up-to-date -four mill and grain
elevator upon this property. 1t will
be remembered that the lot was bought
from the city at a cost of $4,000, the
price having been raised $500 above
what was at first offered. 1t was not
at the time stated to what use the
property would be put, further than
the clause in the contract which pro-
vided for the purchaser, engaging in
the manufacturing business.
Mr.. ]. A. Jones is resident of Lit
tie Lot, Tenn. and is the President
of the bank at that place. He has also
had experience in the milling bus
mess, and will, with his son, run the
proposed mill along strictly modern
lines The location is convenient for
an establishment of this character, in
view of the fact that it is in very
close proximity to the terminal and
Louisville & Nashville railroad tracks.
1t is estimated that not less than
100000 will be invested in the enter !
prise. Work will be begun at as
early date as possible. At present |
the new firm hopes to begin the work /
of erecting the buildings not later than /
the latter part of this month or the
first of next, and there seems to be no
reason why this intention will not
be carried out.
The mill and elevator will be a val
liable addition to this city's indus Z
tries and will also give employment
to about one hundred men, The ma
chinery to be installed will be the
most modern, and though 1t has not
yet been stated just what the exact
capacity of the mill will be, it is GER
tain that it will be of sufficient mag
