"Buena Fortuna"

I salute you Pinto Mountains, land of bright sunshine, Pregnant with sweet odors from wild
 flowers and pine; What a view you present from "Buena
 Fortuna Camp" Rugged world of granite bearing Ea-
 ture's first stamp. Look where you may. great mountains
 will appear, Some in the dim distance, others
 distinctly clear; Deep, dark canyons between traversiDg
 giants intervene, Down whose rocky bed ripples a pure
 cristal stream. Where precipitous hills now rise high
 in the air, Mighty Neptune once held sway, as
 your rocks declare; Subterranean volcanic forces have di-
 storted your face. Leaving we'll defined gold-bearing veins
 in place. How insignificant feels man in his
 boasted might, Among Gods majestic mountains here
 spread to his sight; Yon cloud kissing peak, proudly lifts
 his hoary head, Grim sentinel of ages, sepulcher Of
 unknown dead. Irrevocable Nature of what small
 part is msn, Still into your most profound secrets
 he would scan; To1x int hn ft,t dra af
 the past, Breathing your fragrance a moment,
 back to earth at last. Thoughts of prehistoric races take
 shape in my brain, Bright fantastic visions whisper sweet
 music's strain; Perhaps subtle mystic forces. we dream
 not Of, Immortal souls of tho forgotten, thus
 signal from above. It is sweet to speculate on times of
 long ago, Interesting to think few of Natures
 laws we know; Inspiring to gaze on rhIs panoramic
 scenery bold, Stimulating to probe earth's bosom for
 gold. Beautiful. seductive, refulgent yellow
 gold, I have ec"ght you until am becoming
 old. If in plenty found, do you justify tho
 strife? No, true happiness is found at home
 with one's wife. JAN.

The Graham Guardian says the striking of sulphide ore on the Key stone property is one of the most im- portant of tue many favorable devei- opments in the Globe mining district; which have attracted notice in min- ing and financial centers. The strike means that in all probability not only the Keystone, but the Eureka and Live Oak properties, also carry the sulphide body opened in the Mi ami and Inspiration mines. The drill hole in which the ore was struck on the Keystone is 300 feet southwest from the Red Rock shaft where the Miami Company has developed vast tonnage of chalcocite ore, and there is some reason to hope that the sul- phides extend without break through the intervening Keystone and Eureka ground, and in ali probability continue on into the Live Oak. The Inspiration workings Tn the same character of ore are north of the Key stone, where the drills are being op- erated, and the sulphides have been developed in the Inspiration up to the side line dividing the two proper ties.

WHO WILL BE CHOSEN?

If the partisans of the four Repub-
lican candidates are right as to their
claims of prospective victory, the
state will have four junior senators
in congress. Of course they cannot
al be right: the claims for three of
them must be wrong. The Review
does not care to make a prediction.
There are many things to recon-
mend any one of the four. Mr.. Cook
was good representative while in
Congress; Mr.. Stephens has done some
things which deserve recognition; Mr..
McGoyern is a very capable young
man. Still if the voters will consult
their own interests and the interests
of the state and nation they will find
/ it to the advantage of all concerned
to vote for Mr.. Hatton. This paper
bears none of the candidates any i'll
will. 1t does not pretend to argue
that any of the four has not a right
to aspire to such honors, but it sees in
Mr.. Hatton man in whom are united
all the best qualities of the other
three besides possessing individual
traits that fit him for the responsible
position of law maker. AS a business
man not one of the Others is his su-
perior. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether either is his equal. The
strongest partisan of those who are
opposed to him must admit that he is
manly man in every respect-true to
his convictions and courageous in
standing by them. No one could help
but admire the spirit lie which, he met
his defeat year ago last winter, es-
pecially when the methods employed
to encompass his defeat are known.
But what the voter especially de-
sires TO know is, what kind Of legis-
lator he will make. Probably the best
and surest way to judge is by his past
record. AS state senator he won
the respect of the members by his
honest and fearless course in always
standing for the right. When any
important measure came before the
senate, those interested in enacting
good legislation always felt that they
could rely on Senator Hatton to do
the proper thing. One of the most
important pieces of legislation ever
passed in this or any other state is the
law which created the railway rate
commission, and that measure was
practically Mr.. Hatton'S own. His

SENATOR STOUT'S VIEW

(From the Evening Wisconsin, July 2S)
State Senator James H. Stout
of Menomonie is in the city today
attending the gathering of the Good
Roads association at the Hotel Pfister.
He says that in his part of the state
the sentiment is almost universally
for Hatton for senator. II feel that
the advancement of the progressive
movement in Wisconsin demands the
election of Mr.. Hatton," said Senator
Stout. 81 consider Mr.. Hatton the
best legislator I ever met. In the
state Senate. he had daily grasp
on what was going on and an
appreciation of the Importance of the
various measures which was surpris-
ing. The wo rk he put in on the rail-
road rate bill was enormous and the
satisfaction of all interests with that
measure shows that it was labor well
spent. l regard him as the most
representative man in the state today.

SYSTEM: ne didn't even try for an
amendment to dull the sting of that
atrocious measure. 1t was his one
big opportunity and he failed. What
assurance. what guaranty that he
would do different again? He is max

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
OF SISTERHOOD

Tuesday August 18th, 1908, recorded
the fact that Sister Superior has been
in the Professional service of sister in
connection with the Catholic church
for % years. This is a good long time
and the rewards of such service are
poorly paid in this worlds goods. The
sacrifice is great, and the greatest re-
ward is in knowing that her life work
has been given for others. The popu-
larity in which she is held by the
pupils of the Catholic schools, and
members Of that church, is
emphasized by the h d o ~ e
floral and other gifts rendered
her as token of the patient and eff
hcient service she has rendered both
to the school, and church during the
past twenty-five years.
Among those who were here to help
her celebrate the event were many Sis
tiers from Stevens Point. Marshfield
and Rudolph. Her sister Miss Abbie
Madden, Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Castle
and their daughters Ellen and Geral-
dine, and Mrs. Robt. Doyle of Oshkosh
were also here for the day. Many of
the members of the Catholic church
and school paid her their respects dur
ing the day by calling.
Sister Superior has host of friends
in other denominations with whom
we want to join, in paying our respects
to one who has labored faithfully and
efficiently for quarter of a century
in the upbuilding of Gods kingdom
here on earth. May her life be spared
for another quarter of a century of de-
votion toward the same goal to which
we are all travelling.

The amount of money expended in
political campaigns and the purpose
for which it is expended are matters
of public concern. There are many
reasons why there should be the
broadcast publicity in the matter.
Conservation of resources does not
mean withdrawal only. but intelligent
care and in many instances leasing of
rights.
1t is not the power to issue injunc.
lions which the labor unions object to,
