The lumber yards ot Benton vile are selling more lumber at the present time than at any time in their history. In the face of the fact that Bentonville had the poorest apple crop for a number of years, the building activity throughout the county is remarkable-Bentonville Sun.
 One of tl1e local yards i'll Spr1ngdale makes the same kind of report, but most of the lumber being sold here is going to the country. There seems to be more building going on in the country this fall than ever before.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The Idaho Post, in speaking
OF the outlook for the enact.
ment OF a local option law and
a direct primary law by the leg
islature this winter, voices a
warning to the friends OF the
direct primary to be vigilant
lest their efforts be defeated in
spite of the fact that 60 out OF a
total of 76 members in the CON-
ing legislature are pledged,
either personally or by party
platform to support such a
measure. 1t is claimed a move
ment is on foot to secure the
passage OF only a County direct
primary SO that the working
of the system can be tried on the
small Offices before attempting
to apply it to the nomination Of
state candidates. This plot has
been set ON foot it is said by the
enemies OF the direct primary,
and il successful they will, at the
next election encourage in each
party a multiplicity OF candi-
dates for nomination under the
new law. They would then point
out to the disappointed ones
that their defeat was due to the
working OF the direct primary,
and by thus creating a senti-
nlent against the law secure it's
repeal and a return to the pres
emit convention system. Pledges
are presumed to be sacred
among men Of honor, but per-
haps the action of the legisla.
ture will bear some watching.

SUMMIT OF MOUNT BAKER.
A Freak Among Freaks Is the 0rAa'
TabIeland.

TabieIand.
There is no evidence of recent &C
tivity of this volcano, nor are there
any alarming indications that it will
| ever be active again, says Forest
and Stream. True, there are live
vents on the sides of the cone where
the vapors and sulphur are contin-
ually emitted, where the lava is still
hot and steam jets issue with rum
bling and violence, but the SHOWS
of recurring seasons have blanketed
it for centuries, as if to smother out
the internal fires, and it can hardly
be considered now more than the
lingering Of heat which once warm
ed the surrounding regions to
fluorescence, the base of the noun
tain to bright red, and where it is
now buried under a mantle of per-
petual snow its summit once shone
with luminous glare winter than
the electric arc. But the freak
among freaks in this interesting
region is the tableland already re-
ferred to.
It rose in its magnifcence and
grandeur from the bowels of the
earth as did Mount Baker, of which
it is simply part and parcel. 1t
probably rose to its present emil
hence above its surroundings and
especially out Of its immediate bed
of porphyry somewhat later after it
had cooled enough to hold its shape
by renewed pressure directly under
it, showing it up like cork out of a
bottle.
The writer was strongly inclined
to take the plug clear out and look
inside to see exactly what was the
cause of it. There is much evidence
that the secondary uplift came at q
much later day than the volcanic
eruption or eruptions which pro-
duced the main features of this dis
trict, the most important of these
evidences being the fact that the
disintegration about the vertical
walls of this tableland is very much
less than about the sides of any 9TH
err cliffs around, irrespective of
height, position or material to be
eroded.
The walls of it are crumbling
away and accumulating about the
base in rock slides, somewhat faster
on the sunny sides. If it were pos
sible to count the annual LAYERS Of
rock on these slides, which have
faxed off the walls above by the ac-
ton OF the summer sun and frosts
of winter, like the age of trees by
the rings Of growth, it would be
easy to determine when Mazama
dome last made a move to rival
Coleman peak or get in better view
of the parent cone.

There is a neatness which is lot
desirable and is not clean. It is
neat to fold all ones clothes when
taking them off for the night, but
it is not hygienic to do this, for the
garments must be aired if they are
to be sanitary. Even if they have
been worn only few hours odors
of the body have been absorbed and
should be given an opportunity to
evaporate. This is best accom-
plished by spreading every piece of

Other things that need airing are

Deaths and Births.

In practically all of the great
countries of the world the birth
rate is declining. 1t is a world
movement, and, though France was
a little earlier in revealing it than
was any other great country, all OF
them are falling into line with her.
Coincidentally, however, with the
falling in the birth rate is a de-
cline in the deaths> which may pre-
serve the equilibrium in population,
as it evidently does in France, where
the total OF inhabitants remains viz
tually stationary. Coincidentally,
moreover, with the shrinkage in
births comes an increase in the food
supply Of the world. If Nautilus
were here in 1906 he would be COM

ton on the means Of subsistence

How the Lantern Was Invented.
King Alfred the Great is credited
with originating the lantern. He
was SO bothered by the candle
flames blowing in the wind that he
protected them by putting the can
dies in COW horns, which he ordered
to be scraped thin. Our gramlfa-
theirs made lanterns by punching
holes and Sits in properly shaped
pieces Of tin, which we're then SOL
dered together. The light which
came through tho little cuts was al
ways very dim and Pickering. It
was this kind Of lantern which the
old town watchmen used to carry
when they went about calling the
hours and the weather in rhyme:
It's one O. the clock; midnight is past.
Sleep on. good friends. the time thou hast,
For rise 70 must at early dawn.
It's ono O the clock and Tuesday msRn.
