THE PRINTERS ART.

The highest degree of perfection
ever attained by the printers art,
will perhaps be reached in the Christ
mas magazines this year.
Never before have such excellent
productions been sent out from the
printer. the artist, the engraver.
Never have such skill and genius
been displayed in conception and exc
cution of designs as will be seen this
month.
The public does not appreciate
what 1t is receiving in the way Of
art as portrayed in the current mag
azines. The color printing processes,
the high-class engraving the skillful
sketching, designing and drawing,
the high conceptions Of themes, the
appropriate adaptation of subjects to
the season have reached the zenith
OF perfection, 1t seems this year.
The development of the printing
Industry Is far ahead Of the age. 1t
is safe to assert that no other indus
try has made such advances in the
past five years. For one to three
dollars per year, the highest grade
magazines in the world can be placed
In the home, a marvel which few
years ago seemed impossible of ac-
complishment.
Readers who run hurriedly through
the splendid Christmas numbers Of
the leading American magazines, are
invited to turn back slowly and study
these productions of the printers art
in a thoughtful, careful manner and
try to estimate what has been accom-
pllshed for the public. at but nominal
cost, by the printing industry Of the
country.

THE MONEY ISSUE IN 1908.

While the corporations, including
the bankers, railroads, mining and
manufacturing syndicates, have been
ehriving in an unrestricted per-
Sod Of prosperity, they have allowed
the country to thrive also, but now
that the government has begun inves-
tigating their methods and regulat-
ing their practices they Immediately
shut up the gates Of commerce, lock
up the gold of circulation and at
tempt to paralyze the country.
This is made possible because Of
the single money standard, the scare
ny Of money and the close control
shich eight or ten men are able to
exercise over the limited circulating
medium OF the country.
The present money stringency is
not the result Of any natural cessa-

MRS. sAGE's GIFT TO IDAHO.

Mrs. Russell Sage, Notwithstanding
the many mlsgivings Of critics, is dis
tributlng the immense fortune Of her
miser husband in a very creditable
manner 1t seems
While she is lmportuned for money
by hundreds of undeserving men and
women and is bored by gift-seekers of
every known brand and variety, yet
she makes fIrst-class selections in her
bestowals and seems to be guided by
a desire to place her great fortune
where 1t will do the most good.
Very recently she gave $4,000 to
the Idaho Industrial Institute at
weiser, the sum Of $4,000 to be used

in the erection of boys dormitory
$4,000 for a machine shop and
$4,000 in the purchase of land upon
which students may work for the sup
port OF the institution.
This is the nucleus of what will
one day be a magnificent, self-sup-
porting institution, IL 1t is managed
properly and will become splendid
monument to the Sage fortune.
Oregon has a number of schools
which might appeal to Mrs. Sage.

executed by half dozen men who are
able to control, absolutely, the H.

Since this is the case, people have
begun to ask, is it right to have a

amount and thus easily controlled by
a few financial piratec who can ma

The Portland Oregonian, alarmed at
the questions which will be asked
of gold standard advocates during
the campaign Of 1908, has already
announced that it will be prepared to
discuss the money issue. 1t is not yet
ready, however, to begin. The disas-
trous results of the gold standard are
too fresh in peoples minds today to
admit of any joking.
But people will not forget the
bankers panic OF this fall. The
country is filled with unmarketed
products; crops and prices are good;
the markets are crying for the stored
products of the farm and factory;
rich sections OF the country are clam
oring for transportation which Is
denied because half a dozen magnates
absolutely control railroad building,
and yet, with all of these, the money
of the country is locked up in one

new TRIAL GRAN TED.
William F. Bechtel Of Minneap
oils May Go Free.
WITNESSES ARE SCATTERED
Verdict Invaiidated by the Alleged
Misconduct of Deputy Sheriff
in Charge of the Jury.

William F. Bechtel Of Minneapo-
lis, former president of the North
western National Life Insurance COM
pany, who was sentenced on June %
to serve five years in prison at hard
labor after he had been convicted of
grand larceny from the Northwestern
National Life Insurance company OF
Minneapolis, has been granted a new
trial by Judge Dickinson.
Because it is unlikely that the coun-
ty attorneys Office will be able to OBJ
tain some of the most important wit
nesses who figured in the prosecution
of the first case it is extremely doubt
full if Mr.. Bechtel will ever be placed
on trial again.
In granting the new trial Judge
Dickinson held that the verdict Of the
first trial was entirely invalidated by
the fact that Deputy Sheriff Robert
Hitler, who was in charge OF the jury,
made remarks in the hearing Of the
jurymen, which he holds to have been
prejudicial and calculated to influence
the verdict.
In the motion for new trial affi-
davits by jurors have been introduced
showing that the deputy sheriff talked
before the jury in way likely to in
fluence the verdict.

River Eating Up a Town.

The town Of Elwood, directly across
from ST. Joseph, Mo-, is on its last
legs. More correctly. its last legs are
about to be swept from under it, says
the Kansas City Journal. The hungry
Muddy, which eats a few thousand
acres of rich farm land every year be-
tween Sioux City and St Louis, has
stretched out its mouth for Elwood,
and the little village is about to give
up the ghost Some time ago govern
ment engineers made survey OF the
Missouri river and recommended to
the war department that $4,000 be
spent to save ElWood and Lake Con-
rary, the latter just south of st. Jo-
seph, on this side Of the river. No ac
ton has been taken as far as citi-
zens Of Elwood can see, SO they have
started circulating petition to Secre-
tary Taft to have his workmen get
busy. About $4,000 damage has al
ready been done. The town has grad
ually moved back into Kansas in the
face Of the water, but it can't go much
farther, and unless speedy relief comes
it will be abandoned.

INSECTS GONE, BIRDS sTARvE
Strange Condition to Be investigated
by Department Of Agriculture.

Strange Condition to Be investigated
by Department Of Agriculture.
Farmers at Bellingham, Wash. are
being harassed by great focks of
crows which alight in fields of small
grain and corn and eat everything in
sight
The birds are devastating the fields
because strange plague had swept
over the forests, destroying nearly ev-
cry species of insect, says a Belling-
ham special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune. All birds are suf-
fering for want Of food. Scientists in
the western part of the country are
much interested in wI...t they say is a
migration of all insects.
The crows come from the wOOIs in
docks that number thousands and
alight in fields, where their caWing
and Gathering may be heard for miles.
The farmers have tried all methods to
get rid Of the pest, but to no avail.
James Wilson, secretary Of agricul-
ture, recently went through the Bel
bingham section Of the state and was
told of the ravages of the crows. He
sent an expert to investigate the sto-
ries of the disappearance of insects
and the report has been confirmed. Dis
ease or sudden migration is advanced
as a theory. Not an insect Of any
species can be found anywhere in the
big fir and cedar woods. The caterpil-
lars and butterflies, usually so nurner-
Gus at this season Of the year, are no
where to be seen.
An investigation will be made by the
department of agriculture.

Bronx Zoo Nature Story That One
Keeper Vouches For.
There is in the geological gardens in
the Bronx section Of New York beaver
dam, and in that dam is the father of
the colony, known as Big Brown Joe.
Joe weighs sixty pounds, and the keep
ers vouch for the fact that he has
pounds of sense for every pound of
weight, says the New York Times.
Connected with the beaver pond is
drainpipe to carry off the water when
it has reached certain height on the
dam. The keepers say Joe has always
wanted the dam to overflow. He look
ed around, and he studied and he
studied. Finally he hit upon the idea
of filing up the end Of the drainage
pipe.
So he collected all the bits Of broken
wood he could find and all the stones
he could gather and carried them to
the mouth Of the pipe and showed
them in until he completely covered the
opening, and, to Joe's delight, the dam
overlooked The next morning one OF
the attendants found the dam over
flowing and opened up the drainage
pipe. The performance was repeated
again and again.
The other day the attendant left his
shovel by the dam, so that it would be
handy, and when he went for it it was
gone. And that keeper vouches for the
fact that Joe, realizing the use to which
the shovel had been put III undoing his
work. took it out into the middle OF
the pond and dropped it. At least the
keeper found it there the next after
