In the construction Of the new
city council the familiar figures of
S. c. Norton and II. S. Hewitt
will not be found in their accus-
toned places in the council chamber.
Both are gentlemen of wide expert
ence, well versed in the affairs of
city government and will be missed
when the new council convenes.
Both were honest and courageous
and stood unswervingly by their
convictions no matter how strong
the opposition. They did their
duty as they saw it and stood by
their guns. They had no use for
graft or grafters, and ever had the
welfare OF the city at heart. While
their actions as the result shows did
not meet with popular favor or else
their positions were misunderstood
by the voters, they were honest in
their purpose and took great pride
in economically transacting the af-
fairs that came before council, and
they never broke faith with the
people. In retiring to private life
they have the satisfaction of know
ing that they did their duty well.
p. S. Bredeen was the only mem
Der of council who did not seek re-
election. One year of strenuous
life was enough for one time at least.
w. l.. Thorndyke who retires as
city recorder has also made a good
record. He took much pride in
keeping his books and records in
ship shape no matter how much
time was required to accomplish
that end. He was ever courteous
and obliging and treated all alike.
=. w. Hinman made a good, hon
est mayor, and during his admins.
,ration made clean record through
out, and has no bad actions to regret.

Providing the amendment to the
charter requiring the relaying of
the water pipes by contractors and
others is adopted by the council
and the people, all future street
improvements will have to be
figured with this additional cost
added to the contract To be eN-
plicit it provides that, where inn
proyements are being made and the
water pipes OF sewers are disturbed
or exposed, they shall be relaid at
the same depth beneath the surface
at which they were found. OF
course the contractor would have
to figure this additional cost in his
bill and il would be paid by the
property holder. A grade plat OF
the city, showing the exact grades
ON all streets, would save this extra
expense 10 the taxpayers, and il
was for the purpose of Fastening
this measure that the clause was
inserted.

woman seems to fare badly. The
Spaniards say: THE man wins much
who loses his wife," Judging from
the records of the divorce courts in
this country it might be thought that
a good many Americans hold the
same view as the Spaniard but for
the fact that they no sooner get rid
of one wife than they take another.
Moreover, the divorced wives seem
to be just as eager to lose one hus-
band and take another by this meth
cd.
The proverbs of the Arabs place
very low value ON women. Here is
one: Always consult your wife. but
do as you please" The Hindu says:
do you want to test the fineness OF
gold, use acid; the strength OF an
OK, beat it; the nature of man,
let him talk; the thought of a wo-
man, there's no way
The cynical Chinaman has this cut
ting maxim: The tongue OF a
woman is a dagger, and she never
lets it get rusty. Among the
French there is saying that What
the devil can't do woman accom-
plishes." To the French is also at
tributed the proverb: Good women
are all in the churchyard.
1t is pleasing to turn from these
to English speaking nations. 1t IS
true that American and English poets
have said some uncomplimentary
things about women. In Pope we
have: "Woman's at best contra
diction still" And Shakespeare
says: ''Frailty, thy name is woman" "
But a better tribute is paid by John
Gay in his lines:
IF the heart of a man is depressed
with cares,
The mist is dispelled when woman
appears
Thomas Otways tribute is still
stronger He says:
20 woman. lovely woman. Nature
made thee
To tempt man: we had been brutas
without you.
Angels are painted fair, to look like
you;
There's in you all that we believe
OF heaven
Amazing brightness, purity and
truth"

farm is not necessary to make 4 a.
nancial success. Many are making
good profits on five-acre tracts de-
voted to intensive horticulture. But
the time for getting possession of
such moneyed propositions is fast
passing before the vision of the
young men of today. When the
prices of farming lands are so high
that none but capitalists can pur-
chase, the slothful ones will discov-
err that they have missed an oppor-
tunity in agriculture.

A Quaint Scotch Wedding Custom.

a quaint wedding custom still pre-
walls in many of the little country
towns and mining villages in Scotland.
When a wedding is held the contract
ing parties make their guests pay in
full for the eating. drinking and dane
ing facilities which are usually pro-
vlded on such occasions. The practice
still seems to survive even in Glasgow.
4 correspondent observed notice
posted up in the CowcadGens, a low

the public that soldier would shortly
enter into the bonds Of wedlock and
that twopence would be charged for
admission to the ceremony and an ad

ance at the wedding feast. The prac
tice seems TO be peculiarly Scotch. but
sixpence certainly seems moderate
enough for marriage supper.-West-

OPPORTUNITIES

The Pomeroy East Washingtonian
publishes an interesting story of fin
ancial success in billing the soil of
Garfield county 1t refers to A. A
Owsley as the Oldest inhabitant Of
the Pataha creek district, and one Of
the most successful farmers. He To-
Gated on portion of his present
farm of 5000 acres in 1869, and
has been one of the big farmers of
that section for several years. He
has a large orchard, and has por
ton of his place planted to alfalfa,
grain and general crops. Stock rails
ing is one of his chief occupations.
and he has recently made a shipment
to British Columbia markets, and
has about $1,000 in returns for the
cattle
That there is big profit in grow
ing alfalfa is demonstrated by the
figures given out from that one
Eastern Washington farm. A field Of
sixty acres is planted to alfalfa. 1t
is irrigated at an average cos Of 81
per acre for the season. The hay IS
harvested and put into the stacl: for
81 per ton. An acre yields seven
tons, the net result of three cuttings
of hay That hay is always in de-
mand at the rate of So per ton in
the stack 1t is worth double that
amount for home stock feeding pur-
poses. The farmer estimates that
as a commercial product his income
from the hay ranges about $26.95 an
acre over the cost of growing, har-
vesting and stacking. For feeding
to home stock it is worth double that
sum.
Where is there a legitimate busi-
ness that will give as good returns
on the investment as farming: The
original cost of the land in that big
Garfield county farm did not amount
to much money. 1t is presumed that
the first quarter section was a home
stead. That cost no money but the
fees. The additional acreage was So
cured from the family holdings. At
present the farm comprises 3.00e
acres. Probably the majority of acres
can be cultivated. That which is
planted to alfalfa constitutes a per-
feet gold mine. The fruit orchard
no doubt returns better cash divi-
bends. Something comes to the bank
account every month of the year.
The day of opportunities in the
land is not over. In fact, the time
for beginning to make money by go
ing on the farm is now. There are
great fields of industry open to every
energetic man who will get out of
the old ruts and grasp the situa-
ton. Growing alfalfa and stock
constitutes merely one branch of di-
versified agriculture. Other depart
ments are equally ~ valuable. 4 big

And yet the Populace with One
Voice Clamored for Band Music.

something to soothe it from its
daily Dementia Americana following
Apple Storms in the Brain-Mental
Paroxysms from Brooding over the
Goblin Moth and the Dreaded Green
Aphis, etc.
BRASS BAND MUSIC IS THE
CURE.
And the Councilmen Realized it as

And the cost of the concerts will

Council has shown Public Spirit and
Consideration for the Comfort and
Enjoyment of the People.
The Majority Desired the Public

A Minority (Spelled "Sourballs')

Why a swell;rr Follows Elow


The swelling which follows from a
blow is natures effort TO protect the
part from further injury and to keep it
at rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat of in
jury is not even now quite understood
The injury to the smaller blood vessels
intecceres with the flow of blood
through them, and the white corpus
cles, with part of the serum, the wa
tering part of the blood, escape into
the surrounding tissues. AT the same
time the blood vessels in the neighbor
hood dilate, and the increased flow Of
blood with the thOrOughfare INSTRUCTED
increases the swelling. 1t is probable
that the white corpuscles of the blood
pass into the tissues to assist in the re-
pair. as bees or ants assemble at IN in
jury to their stOrehOuse, but with this
difference-that the substance of the
corpuscles is probably converted into
the tissue of repair. From one point OF
view the human body Is only one 81
gantic colony of individuals and the
swelling that follows injury but the
rush of these to repair the breach.
