Why Snow Is White.

The reason snow is white is that all
the elementary colors are blended to-
gether in the radiance that is thrown
off from the surface Of the crystals,
which may be examined in such way
as to detect these colors before they
are mingled together to give the eye
the impression of whiteness. The
whiteness of the snow is also in some
degree referable to the quantity Of mir
which is left among the frozen parti-
cles. Considerably more than a thou.
sand distinct forms of snow crystals
have been enumerated. These minute
crystals and prisms reflect all the COM
pound rays Of which white light con-
sists. Pink and various other tints may
be seen reflected from sheets of snow
under certain angles Of sunshine. So
much light is reflected by snow in the
day that the eyes often suffer from it,
and enough is given in the night to
guide the traveller in the absence Of
artificial light or moonlight.-Ch Chicago

Col. Little for Senator

Underwood Republican: OF all the
four good men who are candidates for
United States senator from North Da-
kota no one has done more for the
people of the state than Col. C. B.
Little of Bismarck He has for many
years been a leading member Of the
North Dakota legislature, and is the
author Of a good many of our most
important laws. He is one OF the
pioneers Of the Slope, and has always
taken an active interest in the up
building and the settling of the Slope
country. AS a fnancier he has done
more to maintain financial stability
and confidence among the banks and
the people here on the Slope than
any other man. OF course the Slope
counties will be for him unanimously
and there is good reason why we
should support him, he is familiar
with our needs and will thus be bet

of all the people, and he would not

MOUNT FUJIYAMA.
Japanese Pilgrimage to Its Tempest
Swept Summit

Japanese pilgrimage 10 IT'S 'e"Poss
Swept Summit
To the people of Japan the mount
Fujiyama is sacred. The meaning OF
the word Is honorable mountain.
During that brief six weeks of summer
when Fujiyama's wind swept sides are
climbable, writes A. II. Edwards In
'Kakemono," the pilgrims come In
thousands, in ten thousands. They
dress themselves in white from head
to foot They carry long slaves of
pure white wood in their hands, each
stamped with the temple crest and in
bands and companies they climb the
mountain.
Always the leader at their head, his
staff crowned with a tinkling mass Of
bells, like tiny cymbals, chants the
hymn of Fujiyama. For six short
summer weeks they co'ue. Then the
winds rush down, the snow falls, the
tempests rage. and Lord Fujiyama lives
alone.
No human being has yet stayed a
winter on his summit, and even In the
summer weeks the winds will blow the
lava blocks from the walls Of the rest
houses and sometimes the pilgrim from
the path.
Fujiyama stands alone, not one peak
among range, but utterly alone. Ris-
ing straight out of the sea on one side
and from the great Tokyo plain on the
other, his 1906 feet in two long, curv-
ing lines of exquisite grace rise up and
up into the blue, and not an inch Of
one foot Is hidden or lost. It is all
there. visible as tower built on q tree
less plain. 1t dominates the landscape.
It.can be seen from thirteen provinces,
and from hundred miles at sea the
pale white peak Of Fujiyama floats
above the blue.

A New Empire

Fargo Forum: The candidacy OF
Col. C. ID. Little of Bismarck for the
U. S. senate marks a new era in the
political and material progress Of
North Dakota. It is reminder to
the eastern part of the state that a
new empire has grown up beyond that
imaginary line west of Wilhelm the
early days-it was not deemed posi-.
BILE to carry on practical farming.
All this has been changed and the
sooner North Dakotans conform to
the new conditions, the more quickly
will the political and economic sftua
ton be adjusted to the rational and
logical arrangements which the rapid
shifting westward of the center OF
population so insistently demands.
The time has; arrived when the
western. part. of the state demands
congressional representation and il
would be better policy for the eastern
half Of this great state to concede
this point graeionsly- rather than to
surrender grudgingly-after fight
in which the people of the opposing
sections would bitterly oppose each
other.
In the choice of Colonel Little as
their candidate the people of the
western part of the state have shown
wise discretion which speaks well
for their appreciation of the qualifica
lions required by the incumbent Of
such an important Office
They have not offered for approval
--a man unacquainted with public
life-or with the needs of the state

was county auditor of Cass county
and for the last few years state ex.

state auditor, and as he has an ex.
tensive acquaintance all over the state
he will undoubtedly make a strong
showing at the primaries if he decides
to be a candidate.
There are several candidates for
the Office of justice of the supreme
court but there is little doubt but
that Judge Spalding will be renomin-
ated and elected. The opinions writ
ten by him have been broad and fair
and has given general satisfaction

no need for a change, besides his
service entities him to a second term.

the shrug of Omar, the old Persian

"You have heard of Omar's shrug?
No? Well, it was eloquent. The shah
once had sent for the old poet.
"'Omar.' he said. 4 have written

has been dulled, and easily led into
temptation, they have become semi

parents, chiefly, through carelessness
and indulgence. The criminal char
acter of these boys goes right back
to the fact that their parents failed
to train them properly, and, in many
cases, did not set the proper example
themselves. Had they not been per-
mitted to smoke cigarettes and asso-
ciate with boys who did they would
have escaped the temptation, crime
and misery which falls most heavily
upon those who love them.
"You can explain; in many of these
cases, only on the theory that the
moral fibre and lack of discrimination
on the part of the parents themselves
has been weakened. Had they been

would not have disgraced them. You

that the spot has been reached.
The best ore yet found in the leases on
