than at any time since The
was formed.
The present Q908) difference between
export and domestic prices of steel is
probably much more than 30 per cent
Thus it is known that in January the
United States Steel Products Export
company sold for export 100000 tons
OF sheet bars at 81 shillings per ton,
delivered in Wales Deducting $3.50
for freight, the Pittsburg price for
these exported goods was SIG against
500, the home price. In this instance
the domestic price was so per cent
above the export price
The steel trust exported 1,O14,O82
tons of steel goods in 1907 and sold
1862, $50 tons in domestic markets. II
the tariff profits were SO a ton, they
amounted to $93,OOO,COO in 1907. This
is about the average yearly tribute
that we pay to the greatest and most
powerful corporation on earth. At this
price it can well afford to perform Zig
ure Juggling stunts and s!elght of hand
tricks In its reports.

and 1t is assumed that the people will
trust those who simply promise to abol-
ish thieving in the future, having full
power to do it now
Mr. Beveridge's words are worthy Of
notice: He who would revise the tariff
on the eve of the presidential election
Is too hypOcritical to be tolerated" We
are at loss to ascertain the senator's
meaning Would not the honest states
man or party give the nation the quick
est possible relief from such intolera
Bile conditions, not afraid TO base It's
appeal to the people on something def
mite accomplished rather than upon
fair and general promises to do in the
future what it has full power to do
now and dare not attempt?
To act before election would seem 20
involve less hypocrisy" than the op-
posite course preferred by so many
eleventh hour converts to tariff revi-
sion. JESSE f. ORION.

Blessing Of Country Lie.

Hudson True Republican: Does
every one know the real blessing of
being able to live in the country.
When we long to exchange conditions
In life with others we always want to
plant ourselves down in their miser-
les. In their young ambition most all
want TO live in a great city; they want
to exchange the healthy atmosphere
Of the country for the smoke-laden,
charged air of the metropolis;
they want to exchange the gorgeous
prospect of NATURES green hills and
groves and hooks Of wild flowers for
the sight OF barren walls; the song of
birds for the distracting hum of ma
chinery; but this is sentiment, yes,
and a fine sentiment it is; but there is
more to it than sentiment. The infu-
ence of the country is uplifting.

EMPTY WORDS.
ssveridge Uses Strong Language, But
Means Nothing.


Means Nothing.
In his speech before the Indiana
convention Senator Beveridge speaks of
opposition to revision as coming from
Interests whom the tariff properly pro-
tected when it was made, but whom
changed conditions now enable to act
like highwaymen to other honest in
terests; from a purchased press owned
by gluttonous corporations and by men
whose wealth flowed from obsolete
schedules"
AS to the present condition, the sena~
tors language is certainly warranted.
But he insists that nothing must be
done to the 'highwaymen," the "glut-
tonous corporations" or the obsolete
schedules" until after election" The
thieying and oppression must go on,

THREE CONVICTED;
 TWO DISCHARGED

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 29.-Dr. J. H. Hedderly, William Smith and Rich. ard D. Hynes, three defendants in the so-called Los Angeles land fraud cases, were convicted by jury in United States district court this evening Lee R. Meyer and Jeremiah Huntley were acquitted.
 The ease was submitted to the jury shortly before noon upon the conclusion of the charge by Judge Charles E. Vol. verton. In substance Judge Wolverton instructed that so long as there was a common and understood purpose, per sons might be parties to conspiracy, even though they labored at widely sep arated points. He explained what con stituted conspiracy in the eyes of the law. The jury consumed the entire af- ternoon deliberating. After they had returned a verdict and been excused, counsel for the defense gave notice of motion for new trial and the court allowed ten days within which to make it.

The larYns.

The larynx has been compared to a wind, reed and stringed instru- ment. The comparison of 1t to violin gave rise to the not very accurate phrase vocal chords" as the name of the two cushions which are its most prominent features. Brt no string so short as those vocal chords could pro duce musical bass note. In fact, the comparison of the larynx to any instru- ment which produces only musical tones is inadequate to begin with. There is no instrument but the larynx which produces both song and speech, and as those comparisons view the larynx merely as a producer of mu- sical sounds we have no further con cern with them at present. Besidea, the voice can be trained for speech, @pcutlon and oratory without knowl- edge of the physiology of the larynx.
 We have the power of adjusting the larnyx, of varying the tension of it's cords, cushions or fragments, as they have been variously called. We can do these things without scientific tech nical knowledge of how they are done. without any knowledge at all of vocal physiology. and it is the work of the trainer of the voice to teach the pupils how to do them.-Chambers' Journal.

Art of Making Lifelike Motion Pictures Talk
How the Same Singers and Actors Appear Before Audiences in Hundred Cities on the Same Night-Great Scope of the Mov- ing Talking Pictures.

motion photography, when the most ex- quisite artistic skill had reached its most daring achievements and the limit was reached, the next step was dimly perceived in the possibilities of com bining the photograph principle with the motion film. After nearly two years of very difficult experimental work the projected vision and the sound record are produced in perfect unison in absolute synchrony.
 The steps succeeding are obvious. As to the entertainment it makes possible First, vaudeville acts, songs, duets, quartottes, heat "doubles," all in short "acts,' limited to the length of the sound record of the most approved type of photograph devices.
 Then came dramatic sketehesfi little plays; next operas were undertaken and as all steps were the outgrewth of Q demand and field of profitable opera tion in the various cities of the coun. try, these had to be condensed to meet the requirements of the exhibitors and the audience. But what an advance over the "short acts" instead of acts three or four minutes,in length the en- tire acts of an opera were arranged. Instead of two, three or six persons in the scene, chorus of sixty.
 And now the Cameraphone is shortly to be permanent fixture in Globe. w. T. Tupper, well and favorably known here and, in fact, throughout the territory, for his ability as the. ater manager, has secured the exclusive Cameraphone rights for Globe and with. in the next few days will open the new Cameraphone theater. Mir. Tupper will remain in Tombstone until the 3d of this month in order to assist and vote for few of his friends who are running for office.

In sim pie gowns and with her hair In braids she rejoiced at the freedoA from dress and social routine that had been her portion all winter In her gingham sunbonnet she might have passed for the daughter of farmer, and for the moment Guy Paulton took her to be such when he came upon her In the little woodland where Edith spent most of her time. Her back was turned to him as he parted the bushes and tram pied down the ferns.

Paulton was built In heroic mold. and, though he looked well In the conventional dress of man of fashion. the heavy blue shirt open to display his fine throat, and tight fitting riding trousers emphasized the good lines of his pow erfuliy muscled figure.
