WEALTH FROM THE PACIFIC.
Valuable Products From Sea Water on
Our Western Coast.

CalifOrnians have solved the prob
lem of the alchemists ard are max
ing geld out of sea water. The golden
state has taken golden treasure out
of her mountains, has made her valleys
yield millions of dollars worth OF
golden fruit, has amassed tourist gold
in exchange for her sunshine, and now
turns to the great lazy Pacific ocean
and ransacks its Golfers.
There is no rush cf prospectors to
the new field, however, as the gold Is
coming out Of the sea in the form OF
salts of potassium, magnesium and
bromide, which would elude the pan
and the rocker of the prospect'r.
OF several 'diggings" of this nature
one at least is active and prosperous
and one Is approaching activity. The
San Pedro Salt company, which re-
Gently entered into the field, has suo-
ceeded in manufacturing a quantity
and quality of salt which has found
q ready market and has already as
sumed a place among the exports OF
the port of San Pedro.
The fact that San Pedro is lively
and thriving port, with almost no out
going cargoes. makes the development
of this trade both easy and important.
Since the first of last year the coast
ing schooners returning to the north
ern coast have taken away over .
thousand tons of this sea salt.

the old paper has gone on continuously

In addition to being the Oldest ex.

upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have good ap-

sight of food; she was restless at
night, had bad breath, especially
when she got up of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were just
on the point of giving up trying any,
thing else, when we began to read of
Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jes-
sic has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. I don't wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tapeworm
I feel sure that sac will grow better
each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr.. Cooper, your medicine is worth a
thousand times more than you charge
for ii. know of a number of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been, and certainly expect to tell
them personally to try your medicine"
We would advise anyone who has

PECULIAR PROPERTIES
OF new MEDICINE
Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tention by Expelling Internal
Parasites.

The interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young Mr..
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon-
sible for much i'll health, and it is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
of all ill health. He claims that few
can have poor health with a good di-
gestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car
roll Avenue. Chicago, is among many
relieved Of a large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during his stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr.. Cooper, the mother said:

old. has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until

The records in the war department
in Washington are, as rule, very dry,
but occasionally an entry is found that
is humorous.
An officer OF engineers in charge of
the construction of road that was to
be built through a swamp. being ener-

one of his young lieutenants whom he
had ordered 10 take twenty men and

SAVING the MIX.

In one Of the model schools of our
city a first grade teacher was having
lesson on a cow. She was trying to
impress on the young minds the vari-
GUS uses Of milk, butter, cheese, and
she wanted some bright genius to tel
how the farmer fed the surplus mill
to the pigs.
Leading up to this, she asked the
following question:
Now, children, after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs, and uses what milk he wants
for his family, what does he do with
the milk that still remains?"
Dead silence followed for mo-
ment, and then one little hand waved
'frantically.
The teacher smiled and said, "Well,
James"
He pours it back into the cow!"

A Horse and Man Famine.

The scarcity of horses and men in
the west is one of the most noticeable
features in the progress of industry.
Good draught horses, which eight
years ago were worth only $40, are
now selling at 5000 to $500 each;
good team is worth $500 These horses
are needed in the lumber woods and
on railway construction, but not
enough can be had. Men to work in
the woods are being paid $40 month
and board A man with good team
commands wages of nine dollars day
hauling lumber and LOGS. Never be-
fore have the wages been so high or
the prices of horses so great as now.

Here, you boy. Don't hold that
suit case under the drip. You're like
ly to get it all soaked and spoil my
silk dress. 1 just can't abide such
carelessness."
The tall college boy, who was earn
ing his next years tuition by assist
ing the matron of the fresh air mis-
sion, shifted the pasteboard box to
the other shoulder, and smiled down
at the querulous ol6 lady as he helped
her up the steps.
The five old ladies who occupied
rocking chairs on the broad vnranda
seemed suddenly stricken dumb by
intimation that the suit case con.
tanned a silk dress, and that the own
er of 1t had the impudence to talk
sassy" to Mr.. Chester, who was al
ways so kind and helpful, made it i'm
possible for them to extend the well
come they had prepared.
Mrs. Birch, the matron, came
bustling out, saying: And here you
are at last. We are glad 10 welcome
you to AEaplewCod, Mrs Va1degriff.
and We hope to make up to you the
loss CT these three days. Come right
up to the roc-l and let me help you
get ready for { :Dper"
Il should th..nk Id need help, after
tramping thrcuzh that wet grass, all
the way from the car. l should think
you might keep conveyance" was
the ungraciCus reply.
The five old ladies on the veranda
fairly shivered at such a sreech ad-
dressed to the ma,ron, and almost
wished that tie late arrival had come
even later.
Maplewood Cottage could only &C.
commodate six cid ladies at one time,
as they were sent out for their ten
days outing, and this time one of the
number selected as deserving had
been unable to come with the others,
and the five fortunate ones had been
filled with pity for her.
The morning dawned gioriously,
and the old earth seemed to have
taken on new life after his bath. The
spirits of the guests rose accordingly
as they gathered on the veranda,
some with their knitting, others with
quilt pieces, and all ready to enjoy
the beautiful day to the utmost.
Mrs. Vandegriff took possession Of
the one hammock and prepared to
spoil their pleasure.
Even the excellent dinner of roast,
brown gravy and rstatoes failed to
put Mrs. Vandegriff n good humor.
The next morning at breakfast time
telegram came to the cottage, bid
ding Mrs. Birch to hurry to the home
of her son, who had been suddenly
taken i'll. Mr.. Chester and Mrs. Bar
ton helped the bewildered woman
make her hasty preparations for leav-
ing, and the management of the cot
tage was left in the hands of Mr..
Chester, with Mrs. Barton as overseer
of the girl in the kitchen.
Just before supper-time Mrs. Bar.
ton was called from her duties in the
kitchen, out to the front veranda,
where she found the other old ladies'
in high state of excitement over the
disappearance of Mrs. Vandegriff.
She had come downstairs just after
noon, saying that she intended to
take little walk She had not re-
turned, and they were anxious about
her.

DRAIN ON FORESTS
immense Demand For Telegraph
and Telephone Poles DepIetes
the Forests

The immense demand for telegraph
and telephone poles is one of The
heavy drains upon the forests. The
cost of maintaining lines is high,
and it is getting to be more and more
a practice to give poles some sort of
preservative treatment in order to
check decay and get the fullest SER
vice out of them Arborvitae, or
northern white cedar, is well suited
for the production of poles. 1t grows
naturally in suitable form and is
strong, light in weight, and durable.
In fact, it combines the qualities
most demanded Moreover, it takes
preservatives very well.
Unfortunately arborvitae is not
very plentiful, and it grows SO slowly
that it takes a couple of centuries for
it to reach serviceable size In the
last dozen years its price has risen
15O per cent. There are the best
of reasons, therefore, for using the
present supply as carefully as possi-
BILE. Our great-great- grandchildren
will have come and gone before the
seeds now sprouting will be trees
ready to cut.
Arborvitae poles are most easily
cut and hauled in late fall and winter.
When spring comes they are ready
for seasoning, which is done with
lnost advantage during spring and
eally summer. If peeled and arrang-
ed for drying in a single layer, they
will be ready for treatment in June.
A fairly good treatment with either
creosote or corbolineum can be given
by applying the oils warm with a
brush. Two coats of carbolineum
can be applied for a distance of 6
feet, beginning feet from the butt,
for As cents per pole. A similar
treatment with creosote can be given
for 12 cents. Since the average life
of an untreated arborvitae pole is
twelve years and it's cost set in the
line 50, the carbolineum brush treat
ment would have to add only one
year and the creosote brush treatment
only four months to the life of a pole
in order to pay for the additional
expenses.
By means of the "open-tank" treat
ment with creosote a greater addi-
tional length of service can be secur-
ed, so that this method is advisable
wherever quantities of poles are be-
ing prepared for use. The equip
ment consists of sheet-iron tank
about feet long, 5 feet wide, and 8
feet deep, equipped with steam coils
or fireplace beneath. A small der
rick, or "gine POLE" may be used to
hoist and lower the poles into the
tank. The poles should be immers-
ed Z feet in the creosote, heated to
about 22G degrees F., and kept there
for about six hours. The heat can
then be shut off and the oil allowed
to cool. Several poles can be treat
ed at once, and the cost will be from
81 to $1.5O per pole.
Circular 1876 of. the Forest Service
gives description of experiments in
seasoning and treating arborvitae
poles in the upper peninsula of Michi-
gan, together with a tabulation and
discussion of the results. This publi-
cation can be had upon application to
the Forester at Washington.
