No. 2 OF THE EYE
By E. ELLIS GAYLORD, Optician

WHEN the eye is said to be
w astigmatic, the meaning
is that the eye has a double
focus. This annoys the brain
and the eye will strain uncon-
sciously to try and bring about
clear vision, which it cannot do,
because the front of the eye is
not perfectly round, but unsy-
metrical; this strain usually
causes headaches. Astigmatism
is usually congenital or so at
birth, but usually does not make
itself manifest until the eye is
overworked-it is. remedied by
wearing glasses made special
ground from the segment of
cylinder, just enough to neutral
ize the defect. The glasses, if
rightly made, bring images to
a clear focus On the retina and
thus relieve all strain. Child
rem as we'll as adults suffer from
astigmatism. am prepared to
correct all common and compli-
Gated errors of sight. My ex-
aminations are free. Watch for
next lesson.

For The Future

The secret of happiness Is Inward.
People had good times when there
were no friction matches, no brilliantly
Illuminated streets, no steamboats, or
railroads, no sewing machines. no
postage stamps, no comfortably heated
homes, no telegraphs or trolleys The
elements Of happiness are not In things,
but In human nature itself. But the
fairer conditions, the greater oppor-
tunitieS, which the marvellous modern
inventions afford to the masses of our
humanity should augment our JOY and
expand our hopes The most obvious
fact Of human history is that OF prog
ress. The race Is following a flying
and growing ideal. 1t is inspired and
saved by hope. Every helpful inven-
ton, every improvement Of sanitary
conditions, every new ray of intellec-
tual and spiritual illumination, every
scientific achievement, every ameliora-
ton Of physical suffering, every new
avenue of enjoyment, every victory OF
Righteousness, every faithful deed In
lowly and lofty places, increases the
splendor and the power of our vision
of the future.-Leslie's Weekly.

PROPERTY WORTH MILLIONS.
Heirs OF George Washington Go to
Court to Recover Gift Land.

To recover some little parcels of
real estate. given by two grateful
governments to George Washington.
about 100 years ago, and worth at
the present time hundreds of millions
of dollars, is the object of proceed
ings started formally by the heirs-at-
law Of the father of his country,
says an etstern item.
After an undisturbed reA of nearly
a century, IN the circuit court of Fair
fax county, Virginia, the Washington
estate has been reopened by the ap-
appointment of an administrator for
the undistributed assets, which con-
sist of this almost forgotten land
which he possessed. The appoint
ment was made upon the application
of Lawrence Washington and S. w.
Washington, heirs-at-law of George
Washington.
Robert E. Lee of Fairfax county.
was appointed administrator. He is
a grandson of General Robert e. Lee,
and a great-grandson of Light
Horse" Harry Lee. General Washing
tons chief of staff.
The land which the heirs seek to
recover is situated in Ohio. and is
fully described in Washington's will
1t aggregates nearly 10000 acres and
includes practically all the land on
which the city of Cincinnati is built.
Another tract of the land embraces
Point Pleasant, the birthplace Of Gen.
eral Grant. while another. at the
mouth of the Kanawah river, is rich
in coal and oil deposits.
Part of the land was granted to
by the British govern
ment as a reward for his military
and part OF 1t was granted
to him by the United States later for
the same reason. The heirs who have
brought the suit scarcely hope to re-
cover the specific tracts of land grant
ed to their great ancestor; since by
IN error, all the territory embraced

passable, the trails are cut but three
feet wide.
while we have done we'll this fall
in cutting the 100 miles Of trail, yet
we hope to get 100 more done before
We quit" said Mr.. Schmitz. "More
than 80 men have been working on
the reserve for two months and the
trails are being put in good condition.
This will greatly facilitate travelling
over the reservation and thus will
aid the work of the rangers material
ly.

highlands and as soon as snow comes
we can go down to the lower levels
and thus keep at work for a much
longer time. 1t is possible, however,
We may not be able to finish more
than 90 miles more this fall.
"All the sheep and most of the
cattle have been taken from the
range into winter quarters. There
are yet some cattle in the canyons
which will not come out until driven
by the snow. But most of the stock
has been off for some time.
"The reserve is in good condition,
the grazing having been carried on
under the proper restrictions the past
summer, and grass is appearing where
1t was thought to have been killed
long ago. Besides the trail work and
getting things ready for winter, there
is nothing being done on the reserve
and little of interest will happen until
spring"

HOPS ARE UNSOLD.
Prices Are Declining In Yakima and
Many Fields Not Picked.

Time and the recorded hop sales
are proving that those hop growers
of the Yakima valley who this year
declined to pick their hops were wise
in their determination and course,
says the Yakima Republic. Each
sale made for the past few weeks has
shown a decline in price from the
figures previously received and so
far as the growers are concerned
there is nothing to 1t this year.
New sales reported confirm the
situation. G. C. Mitchell & Co. have
purchased 500 bales from the Mckee
company at ga cents, 600 from the
Highland Hop company at cents
and 120 bales from Sam Chung at
6 1-2 cents. Other sales recently
made are 400 bales by w. A. Bell at
1-2 cents and 200 bales by j. H.
Slower at cents. Prices obtained are
the lowest November figures in years.
Only 5000 Bales Unsold.
Within the past 10 days sales of
hops aggregating 1000 bales have
been made in this district and as stat
ed above thetendency in prices has
been uniformly downward. The esti-
mate OF the yield for the district is
$4,000 bales and it is now the opin-
ion of those in touch with the situa-
ton that there is not left in the dis
trict more than 5000 bales to be dis
posed of.

FAVOR CHANGE IN DATE
Salt Lake Agrees With Ogden for
May Date for Trap Tour
nament,

The Ogden trap shooters have asked
that the next annual tournament Of the
IdahO-Utah Sportsman's Association be
held in May instead of September. At the
last meeting of this association held in
Pocatello 1t was decided to hold the tour
nament this year az Ogden and dates were
set for September.
O.. l.. Becker. representing the Ogden
sportsman, has written letter addressed
TO w. NJ Bransford i'm this city, asking
If there would be any objection on the
part of the Salt Lake contingent 20 the
changing of the date. Bransford is circu-
lating the letter for signatures and from
the start made yesterday ii would appear
that the Salt Lake crowd favor the
change.
1t is argued i'm shooting circles that MAY
is a much better date than September
One reason for this is that many of the
trap shooters are either away on their
summer vacations, or have just returned
from the SEINE in September and as they
have had plenty of field hunting during
this time. do not care for a trap shooting
tournament.
IL is also argued that all the trap shoot
ers ale in better form i'm May than in
September, Trap shooting starts i'm the
early spring months and keeps up well
until summer. when interest lags on &C
count of the hot weather. BY setting the
date to May. the shooters of not only Salt
Lake. but the surrounding towns would
be i'm better condition and better scores
would be made.
