KILLED A RARE SPEciMAN
From Pnonin Booster.

From Pnonin BOOSTER.
Sometime in May, J. 7. Rush
killed very rare speciman OF bear
1t hal very long brown head and
brown feet and the rest of the body
WAS covered with n heavy coat Of
creamy white hair. Mr.. Rush do
mated the skin to the Paonia Muse
um Society. Geo. Newman, on- ex-
pert taxidermist, recognized it to
be a valuable speciman and went
up to where the car cass was left
and took exact Measurements with
the intention of mounting it full
size and this he will do. In con-
sidcration OF the gift, Mr.. Rush
was elected life member by the
members Of the society.
During the past month Mr.. Ne
man has been in Denver and there
spent sometime studying speci-
mans Mt the Carter Museum at the
City Park and reported at the
museum meeting last Saturday
that we would have no trouble in
getting 81, 600 for the bear. Mr..
Vincent sugg ested, "that while our
our museum is poor we are very
proud and should not think of
parting with such valuable speci.
men, that has been donated to us"
This seemed to be the sentiment
of all the members Of the commit
tee
The Paonia Booster ha d the r.
bove article which may interest
some of our sporting fraternity in
as much as the bear was killed
about half way between this town
and Paonia. Mr.. Rush who killed
the animal lives near the mouth of
Muddy creek along the line of the
new road being completed from
Somerset to Irwin. There is likely
no portion of the state where this
animal may be found more plenti-
full than over in the Dark canon
and Marcellina mountain sections.
To those who are really wanting
to form the acquaintance of n real
live bruin, they can find no better
field of prospecting than this. A
sure way of locating him is to find
and follow the trail which, if fresh :,
may lead to his den soon after its
discovery. OF course if the track is
too freah and large it might be
better to back track for half mile
or 30, or at least until such time as
the hunters nerves were in condi-
tion to control his limbs from pa
ralys-s when he would be an easy
victim to the savage beast.

Other parties are now arranging to

creek. 1t is surmised that s:heme
is on foot to extend the broad gauge
railroad from Marble up to Crystal
in the near future, whese the mar
ble may be quarried and put di-
rectly on the cars from the quarries
or from the mill which could be
located at the ledges and the pre-
duct finished when it leaves the
place of excavating, thereby saving
the expense of handling tie heavy
slabs and the the large blocks.
The future looks brighter
for the whole Rock creek country
today than ever before and the
showings of marble and mineral
deposits found fully justify the
activities now going on in that
region.

WAS THE FINE A JOKE?

The recent reversal of the judge
ment and fine imposed upon the
Standard Oil Company, by the
Chicago court of appeals. is but an
indication of the futility of any at
tempt made to control this concern
by federal power. 1t is conceded
and proven beyond question that
the big corporation have been for
many years violating the laws of
the land and government and have
accumulated the most colossal
fortune enmassed by private or n
national enterprise in the world.
So independent has this corporate
institution become that they no
longer recognize the supremacy of
law and our courts OF justice, and
refuse to be controlled by their
decisions. They have been
carrying on the illigi.;mate rebate
business for 80 long time without
hindrance that when Judge Lands
iuOsed fine of twenty-nine mil
lion dollars, it WAS considered u
joke and now it has been practic-
ally removed, it would look as such
is the case. The whole country will
be glad to see this aud all other
concerns that are doing business
under the incorporate laws OF the
government be brought to time
and made to obey just the same as
the private individual.
1t is to be hoped that the judic-
ial department Of this government
will have the backbone to give the
Standard Oil Company what it de-
serves when the case finally comes
up there for final decision. One
thing we may rest assured OF is
the fact that the Chief Executive
of this government is in full sym
pathy with the movement to bring
the big monopolies to time by
making them respect the law or
be put forever out OF business.
When the Standard Oil has a re
bate Of twelve cents OF an eighteen
cent rate. which any other shipper
has to pay, no opposition could ex-
- and consequently had to 20 to
tl0wall. 1t is believed a new era
las come, 10y which corporation
rule will surely find its ending and
the money power can no longer
hold supremacy, but will be com
pelled to recognize the majesty of
the law and obeying of its man
dates. If not, then open as wide the
prison doors for such as these as
for the most hardened criminal.
May there not be other Federal
Judges besides Lands of Chicago,
who will dare impose fines upon
the law breaker, irrespective of
wealth or influence. The following
are among the expressions given
by Judge Lands at the time when
the fine was imposed a year ago.
"Commol honesty among men
ought not to be altogether ignored
in business, even in this day,
1t is the business of the Judge
to administer the law as he finds
it, rather than expatiate upon the
iuadequacy of punishment author
lied for its infraction.
This court is unable to indulge
the presumption that in this case

Company OF New Jersey was con-
Ated OF it's virgin ofense.

Greed of the Benefactor.

l used to know man who was in.
suitably greedy of influence and rec
ognition, writes A. G. Benson, in Put
mans. 1t is true that he was ready
to help other people with money or adj
vice. He was wealthy and of good
position, and he would take a great
deal of trouble to obtain appointments
for friends who appealed to him, or to
unravel difficult situation; though
the object of his diligence was not to
help his applicants, but to obtain
credit and power for himself. He did
not desire that they should be helped,
but that they should depend upon him
for help. Nothing could undeceive him
as to his own motive, because he gave
his time and money freely; yet the re-
suit was that most of the people whom
he helped tended to resent it in the
end, because he demanded services in
return, and was jealous of any other
interference. Chateaubriand says that
it is true gratitude to wish to repay
favors promptly, and still less is it
true benevolence to wish to retain o
hold over those whom one has bene
fitted.

LAYING a Cement Walk

All things considered, where u walk
is to be permanent, put it down with
cement. The cement walk VIII last
indefinitely. True, there are difficul-
ties in laying it, but they can be eas-
lily overcome. If cement walk is put
down lay it on foundation of at
least IL or Is inches of such material
as brickbats, cinders or the like, for
drainage purposes. If the ground
where the walk is to be put is low
even more drainage would be better.
Pound this material down or else let
it stand until well settled before lay
ing the cement, which should be put
on in two courses. Let the first
course be two or three inches thick
and made of. well mixed concrete COM
posed of one part Portland cement,
three parts clear, sharp sand and five
parts broken stone about the size of
walnuts. When this course has partly
hardened, but while 1t is still moist,
put on a finishing layer, emitting the
stone, of one inch thickness. This
last course can be dressed off and
lined as desired. While it is neces.
sary to let the frost get out of the
ground before undertaking to lay a
cement walk, the fact should be kept
in mind that this phase of the work
ought to be done before the garden.

But while most of the others were
resigned to their fate, NJ Gehri was
keenly alive to everything that was
taking place. He saw that the laxity
of the guards made an attempt to es-

for and to seize the first favorable op
portunity. Success meant life and lib
erty, instead of a living tomb; failure
would not make his position much
worse. And if he happened to be
killed while making the attempt
well, his troubles would be over.

custom of throwing long wreaths

carnations, camelias or jasmine, with

make them, sit along the streets in
Honolulu with baskets Of flowers and
completed wreaths beside them; their
fingers busily engaged In weaving

of wearing these iowery adornments

school and university career he de-

accepted post as professor Of French
at the Gymnase de Gitomir, in the
government of Volhynia. He took up
his duties in the spring Of 1905, and
began to study the political problems
