FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

The man who monopoiIzes a girls So
eiety. allows her TO hope for happiness in
z future life with him and fails, year
after year. to bring her realization OF
hope is a robber. hard-hearted robber
of youth and faith and happiness. There
are thousands or these long-drawnout
courtships in which youth changes TO
middle age. and chances of motherhood
dwindle to the vanishing point. Some
times the eomradeship lasts a lifetime.
and sometimes the woman is left TO finish
out a lonely life, while the man seeks
happiness with another.
Women are not blameless in the matter,
though their fault is carelessness. They
allow themselves to be monopolized with
out the warrant OF a betrothal and they
submit to endless engagements when
change Of tactics might bring matters to
a crisis. knew one handsome girl who
wasted ten years OF her life on a man
who could not bring himself to the point
Of giving up his freedom till ne had
an opportunity to miss her. Some plain
spoken relative touched up the girls pride
and she accepted an Invitation to spend a
year in travel.
The man let her go away with little
show Of regret. but in a month he was
willing to barter any OF his possessions
for a sight Of her. She. on the contrary.
lost interest IN him with every week she
spent in new surroundings. six months
brought her face TO face with her fate. a
man who had no use for prOtracted court
ships. and when next she met her ex-
sweetheart she was a happy wife. That
is the change Of tactics some mea need.
There are plenty o. men who cali so
steadily upon young women that other
men keep at a discreet distance. They
monopolize a girls time, but never dream
Of compensating her by bit OF amuse-

PURITY Is PARAMOUNT.
The COnOver Ice Cream Company
Establishes Plant on New Lines.

The COnOver Ice Cream Company
Establishes Plant on New Lines.
Among the recent additions to Wash
ington's business community is Mr. Vic
tor a. Conover, who is the controlling
force in the ConOver Ice Cream Company,
one Of the most modern factories of this
character in Washington. Mr.. Conover is
by no means new 10 the business. al
though new 10 Washington, having pre-
viously maintained large freezing plants
IN Youngstown, Dayton, and Cincinnati
Ohio. The success Of Mr.. Conoveris ven
tuTe seems certain from the start, the
idea OF the proprietor being that purity
first OF all is the essential quality de-
manded by the consumer. and to this end
no appliance for the sanitation of the
plant and the proper preservation of alb
solute cleanliness therein has been ig-
nored.
The components of Conovers ice cream
are pure cream pure fruit juices, or sim
pie flavoring extracts and granulated
the deleterious chemicals which have
made the manufacture of moderate
priced ice cre;tnl a troubie-maker for
every municipal health board in America
is now or ever will be used, as Mr.. Como
yer says the economy OF such methods
never yet has repaid him for a blasted
reputation.
A second advantageous feature of the
Conover Ice Cream Company, and one
which goes a long way toward assuring
its success from its inception, is the fact
that the business is devoted exclusively
to the manufacture and sale Of the cream
and fruit ices, there being no side lines.
The catering business has been absolutely
left out OF Mr.. COnoveT's plans, and In
this way establishing al the start stand
ard OF excellence for his one product. and
at the same time antagOnizing in no y,av
any OF the established ice cream busi-
nesses OF Washington: striking out in
other words, on absolutely clean, new
lines. the business from the very begin
ming seems destined TO the highest meas
ure Of success.

work, their opposition amounts to little.
Those members of the tribe who have

they may secure farm of this size.
The improvements on the lands are the

them there and VIII be retained by him,
even should he not retain the land.
Public allotments are much more order
~ affairs to-day than they were prior
to eight years ago. Before that time
the land rush" was the order Of doing
II. To-day II is a sort of faro game. but
the weak have equal chance with the
strong. In the bygone days homeseekers
would gather by the thousands along the
border Of the land to be opened Some
of them would look over the ground care
fully, select their quarter-sect.ons, and
get as near them as possible before the
opening gun was fired. Then would come
the grand rush. Men and women, mount
ed on the heetest of horses. would ride at
breakneck speed. and If two or three
happened 10 want the same quarter-sec-
ton there was often blood spilled and
money spent In litigation.
About eight years ago Secretary Hitch
cock adopted the present method of aIlot-
ment, having imported it from New Zea-
land, It is said. But even now it is a
case Of many are called but few are
chosen" When the reservation around
FL Reno, Okla. was opened up It was
expected that some eO.000 persons would
apply for homes Instead there were
$4,000 applications for the 1900 farms
that were given away.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has declared, in the famous case car
ried there by Lone Wolf. a chief of the
Kiowas, that the Indians have only the
right of occupation TO their lands. and
that Congress may do as 1t sees fit with
them. There are now nearly 100000, 900
acres of public lands IN the United
States, approximately one-half OF which
is In Alaska Nearly 100000 600 acres have
been opened up and sold since 1900 The
Indian population on reservations In 1906
was 291, coo. In 1850 it was 256,000 The
area Of Indian lands amounted TO l54.-
GO. 600 acres in 1880. To-day it has shrunk
to 100000 acres, or just about one-half.

REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
By HELEN ROWLAND.

The right man is always a little
shy Of the womans rights woman.
Husbands are like Christmas
gifts; you can't choose them:
you've Just got 10 sit down and
wait until they arrive and then
appear perfectly delighted with
what you get.
Cleverness is the one crime that
a man cannot forgive q woman
unless she is clever enough to
hide IT.
The beauty OF variety IN love
or wine is that the moment a man
discovers a new brand. he forgets
all about the others and honestly
believes that he is tasting the real
thing for the first time.
A man may read everything that
ever was written about women.
and yet not know enough 10 avoid
asking his wife a question when
her mouth is full OF pins.
When a bullying husband begins
TO wonder why his wife has chang
ed toward him. he forgets that
love is not precisely a woman's
feeling for a battering ram.
No doubt the average man Is Sc
cretly convinced that Henry VIII
was more TO he pitied than scorned.

meaning of absent treatment" "

Spokane. Wash. Nay 13-Foot by foot
the American Indian has been driven back
by the overwhelming, all-eonqueriug tide
Of a superior civilization. Life by life
he has yielded up his place as one OF
the great families of the human race.
until to-day he has but one acre where
he used TO have hundred thousand; To-
day there is only one Of him where there
used 10 be hundred. From the Atlantic
westward, and the Pacific. eastward. two
tides Of civilization have been forcing
him back. Just now the United States
government is preparing 10 take some
more OF his land and present it to those
white American citizens who still desire
to be conquerors of the wild. This time
II Is the lands of the Occur d'Aiene In
dian reservation that are TO be divided.
There are more than half a million acres
In il and only SEQ Indians. Uncle Sam is
going 10 give each Indian a quarter sec
ton, and the rest he will present to some
Of his fortunate white nieces and
nephews.
But. after all, the Indian will fare
pretty we'll The average American eiti-
zen who possesses 16O acres OF tiptop
farming land considers himself rather
we'll of. Each indian on the reservation
will be allowed 10 pick a quarter section
before his palefaee brethren get a single
chance. Therefore, the Indians will get
the cream of the reservation, if they
choose wisely. This, together with that
portion which will be set aside for other
purposes, will take some 10000 acres.
II is probable that the Indians will choose
farming land; and this will leave some
100000 acres 70 be divided among white
homesteaders. 10000 of which viii be ag-
rieultural land. The other 10000 acres
are mountainous and covered with valu-
able timber
There is much work 10 be done be-
fore the reservation can be thrown open
for settlement. The law provides that
there shall be three appraisers, and that
each one of them must visit every forty
acre section on the reservation. There
are i, $50 Of these subdivisions. The valu-
ators will probably drive a stake In the
center of each quarter section and walk
around 1t, and the law VIII have been
complied with. The Indians viii be given
their selections which must be approved
by the Secretary Of the Interior, and then
the remainder will be classified, appraised,
and turned over to the white homestead
ers. This, the law provides, shall be
thrown open for homestead settlement
at such time and IN such manner as the
President may designate. This "sueh
manner" will be the new form Of land
lottery, lottery In which every ticket
draws a prize until the prizes are ex-
Eausted. IN the long run the timbered
land will probably prove more valuable
than that which Is cleared, and Il is
other.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in PortIan,
Sierra County advocate. [volume] (Kingston, N.M.) 1884-1960, 1908-06-26

The estimated total world
production of quicksilver for
1907 was o6,o7o TASKS, which
was the smallest amount re-
ported for number of years,
with the exception of 1905.
OF this amount the United
States produced 20, 500 TASKS,
which was 5,738 TASKS less
than in 1906. One cause for
the decrease is that the de-
mand in China, for the manu-
facture of vermillion, has fall
len off considerably. Another
reason given is that there is
an increasing tendency to-
ward chemical methods for
the extraction Of gold at the
expense Of anna gamation
California stands at the
head of the list in in produc-
ton, with I7,oI5 TASKS to its
credit: Io.5I6 TASKS we're pro-
duced in that state in 1906,
which shows decrease of
nearly IS per cent. All
states show a corresponding
decrease. Several promising
showings of cinnabar have
been discovered in Nevada,
which will probably bring the
production back to the old
figures. In 1906 there we're
exported, 6,455 TASKS and in
1907 but 5,o77 hasks-over
81 per cent. decrease.
