as he carefully shaded the match with

The pretty girl in the blue Bingham

waist high in the tall meadow grass,

TRAMPING.

His heart should sing from dawn to sun
Wherever foot may tread his path may
lie
His pack must be too small to hold care
Who takes for guide the gypsy butter
fly.
At morn the thrush, at noon the tinkling
brook,
At eve the cricket choir shall cheer his
way;
His eye shall find delight in every nook /;
The squirrels, merry gnomes in red or
gray,
The clover bent beneath the booming bees,
The woodchuck, sober monk in russell
clad,
The dragon-f1y athwart the culverkeys
Shall wake his love of things and make
him glad.
Tris well to drink the crystal drafts that
flow
From azure deeps where cloud-built
galleons sail;
IT'S well to feel the spirit breathe and
grow
Once more tits well to seek the golden
trail.
Again along a checkered road swing
Through friendly woods and fields
where daisies nod,
While still before me drifts on vagrant
wing
The butterfly whose beauty praises
God.

MINES AND MINING.

A good strike. has been made in the |
Nighthawk mine, in the Okanogan
country, Washington, high grade lead

depth of 200 feet unde ground.
s. w. Kimble of Spokane, an engi
neer of wide experience, has perfected
what he calls an Inverted Muller
Mill" as an ore crusher.
Railroad creek, in central Washing
ton, has been the scene of great activity
this summer, owing to the fact that
about 20 or more men have been en-
and about the same force will be en-
ployed. during the coming winter. Sew
eral workmen have been engaged in in
stalling big steam plant and air com
pressor by which the Burleigh machine
drills will be operated. A great deal
of work has been done in tunneling
and in making crosscuts in the mine.

The Midway mine, near Sumpter,
will be running again in short time.
B. F. Kempfer, superintendent of the
Imperial mine, at Sumpter, has resigned
as the result of dispute over certain
supplies, and most of the men employed
in the mine have quit out of sympathy
for him.
The immense power plant at the Red
Boy mine, near Sumpter, is now supply
ing power for all the machinery of the
mine, and it is expected that other
mines in that district needing electrical
power will utilize power from this
plant. Baker City, which is about Sc
miles from the plant, is patron of the
Red Boy mine power plant, and others
will be connected in the near future.

GROWING FEELING AGAINST GAMBLING
BY Gov. Hughes Of New York.

Public gambling is an unmitigated
evil. 1t is an evil which thrives or
has thrived because of the selfish de-
sire of the luxurious and idle, and
because of the vain ambitions of
those who want to live without
work. But nothing is more instruc-
tive or encouraging in the history of
the last centuries than the changes
that have been wrought in public
sentiment in regard to this vice.
There was growing sentiment
that this gambling fever was dan
gerous, that it should not be en-
couraged, and that everything must
be done to stop its growth; and SO

and which demands months of careful thought.
Sometimes it is mere trivial choice Of what
we shall eat or drink, what We shall Fay or do
for our amusement which Is settled upon the
instant and then forgotten. This principle we
