ney, for reforming SO far that he
has announced that he now be-
longs to the party of progress
and prosperity, we must regret
that he has seemingly forgotten
that this was not always so. We
call to mind some friendly advice
we gave him six years ago, when
we tried to dissuade him from
permitting his name to go before
an Owyhee County Democratic
convention as a candidate for
Legislative honors, when we sug-
gested that nothing could come
nearer spelling an ambitious
young mans chances for future
success than a taste for party
politics. But henevertheless then
started off on the wrong foot.
We are glad he has backed up
since and started right, but he
did wrong in not owning up TO it.

THE REAL ESTATE BUYER IS
 1.WISE."

There are, always, in this city, peo- pie who stand ready to buy any piece of real estate, in any part of town or suburbs, if the property and the price are both attractive Once in a while an inexperienced investor will buy at a fancy price; but the great majority er buyers KNOW VALUES in real es- tate-they are educated in this one thing above others. And that means that if real bargain in real estate ie offered it will find quick takers. If the value is not there, the buyer is not apt to be fouad-and this is as 1t should be.
 Of course, real estate ill this city IS hot ready offered for sale unless it is adequately advertised Most people know this. Some people are learning l. every week.

ARKANSAS RIVER NAVIGATION.

An old subject, but yet a very im portant one, and one that grows more imperative as the development of this country progresses.
 If the Arkansas river was again utilized as a carrier of commerce. Lit Ne Rock, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff and numerous other cities of the state would be supplied with cheaper fuel xnlarging their field of activity for manufacturing, and not only adding greatly to the wealth of the state but removing the danger of car shortages and allowing the railway equipment to be used for the transportation of those products which are remote, either in point of origin or destination, from waterways.
 Steamboats blowing the waters of the Arkansas would of themselves re- move many of the present Instructions. Anything that is allowed to fall into dis-use will become unfit for service. A little money invested in steamers and barges will do more than all the

SHAME ON YOU!
By EDWIN A. NY

Nobody wants me. My father has gone away long ago. and mother left me in the street the other day. Mother, she wants to go back to Europe
 Thus said Willie Peterson, cripple.
 Taking q hitch in the leather strap which bound some clumsy braces to his poor misshapen limbs, the boy, twelve years old. told his story to the secretary of the Humane society at New York.
 Man, woman, boy. girl. if you have troubles Of your own, read the story. Crippled by ignorance, nearly starved, deserted by his parents, turned adrift in the streets. the lad was as lively and chipper as morning robin. Willie Peterson fell out of bed when he was baby, injuring his legs. lm- properly attended. he was made life cripple. And this is how. he faced his fate.
 sI can walk all right" he said, talk ing hold of the braces with which he has learned to hold himself up. Tt hurts some, but it doesn't keep me from walking. I can get upstairs, BUT l HAVE TO WALK ON NJ HANDS AND KNEES THEN
 Poor battered midget!
 And YOU. You can go upstairs in three bounds. yet you whine to your self about your petty handicaps and sniffie over your troubles.
 I1Opc nOt tho l,,.o an1 fhoarv e,,,;,;4 of this mamed. half starved, deserted, but dauntless cripple shame you into silence? In the face of his fortitude either keep still or pay the penalty of losing your self respect.
 Who are you, whole and healthful. that you should vex the Providence of Willie Peterson with cowardly cries?
 You may be amazed and shocked at the revelation of selfshness and cal lousness in the heart of his pervert mother. How could she bring herself to abandon brave little son like Willie Peterson, son crippled and half or phaned? His pitiful lameness ought to have made him all the dearer to the mother heart.
 And
 You may wonder and speculate and be unable to explain by what myste- rious way the strong and lovely flower of fortitude ever could have grown in the poor soil of degeneracy. But-thcre'S the boy. And you are stung into shame of lo | youngster of the city st"ec.E=.

THE TIME TO SAY GOODBYE.

The hard times" are over, general ly speaking.
 They are not over for those people who are content to have them con- tinue. 4alX
 With the advent of fall activities in business will come to each merchant, to each man who is conducting a bus mess, the opportunity to say a long goodbye to hard times or to cling to them little longer.
 It is to be, largely, test of cour- age-mainly.
 The stronger business men will choose good times as a matter of course-and will proceed to make the choice effective by campaign of real advertising. There will be better, big ger, more effective advertising done this fall than ever before.
 The afraid dmerchant will wonder "where the money is coming from to pay the bills He will, in some cases decide that he must not take the risk This will be HIS DECISION FOR HARD TIMES in preference to "good times so far as he, personally is concerned

 It has been decided to have the old

 federate camp will care for him.

Chicago. Sept 4-Although his windpipe was severed when he was struck by d street car a man, whose name the police did not learn, is still alive at the Emergency Hospital.
 Dr. C. H. Wall, in charge of the hospital, saved the mans life by mak- ing a hurried trip to St. Luke's Hos pital in the automobile of a stranger, where he obtained silver tube, and by this means strengthened out the windpipe and pumped air into the lungs of the dying man.
 Although the man has been injured internally hope is held out for his re- covery.

arguments that have been presented to Congress.
 The Arkansas river is in better shape now for navigation than il was in 1870. for at that time the greater
 portion of Oklahoma was a semi-arid land, but it now receives well-regn- lated precipitation, which makes the condition of the rivers more uniform. Tn 1870, S. T. Abert, government engineer, made a survey of the Arkan- sas river to Fort Gibson and in his re- port said:
 During the winter months and the periods of the June rise, steamboats carrying 700 tons can reach Fort Smith. But the duration of floods is uncertain and the channel above Fort Smith is narrow and obstructed by snags.
 ',Boats drawing from five to six feet of water are generally employed be- tween Memphis and Little Rock. Be- tween Little Rock and Fort Smith three and a half feet is more suitable, and between Fort Smith and Fort Gib- son small steamers drawing, when not loaded, one foot are usually employ ed"
 The amount of freight carried ill those days was insignificant, compared to the tonnage handled in the same territory today, but MT. Albert says on this point.
 "The value and rapid increase of the trade of the Arkansas river is known from the number of boats engaged in it and now building. Twenty steam boats averaging 300 tons, now ply be- tween Fort Gibson, Fort Smith, Little Rock and New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis and Cincinnati The amount of up and down river trade, received and shipped at Fort Gibson, Indian Terri tory, is about 25,OOO tons annually. exclusive of government freight.
 Prom the rapid growth of trade since the war, merchants anticipate an increase amounting to 100 per cent in the next eight months. Were snags and other Instructions removed this increase would be more rapid
 The last suggestion is just as true today as it was then. The restoration of the dikes, just above the Missouri Pacific bridge, will remove most of the local difficulties and Moore's Rock has had a channel that makes MT. Aberts report applicable as far up the river as Fort Smith, instead of Van Buren being the head of navigation at cer- tain months of the year-Fort Smith Newc Record

OPIUM CONGRESS
 IS TO BE HELD
Secretary Root Extends Invitations to Foreign Powers to Attend an Inter- national Conference on Its Eco. nOmical. Moral and Scientific Phases.

Warrington, Sept. 4.-Turkey, Per sia and Russia have been invited by Secretary of State Root to participate in the international opium congress to be held in Shanghai, China, beginning with the New Year. France, Germa- ny, the United States, China, Japan, Portugal and Great Britain already have named delegates to the confer ence.
 ] Originally the idea was to have rep resented at the conferenc those na- lions which have territorial posses sioa.s in the Far East, but as opium 1 is produced both in Turkey and Per sia, it was resarded as desirable that those countries be asked to join in the work of the international commission
 The whole subject of opium traffic is to be discussed from an economicai. <. moral and scientific point of view, With the object of reaching, if possi- ble, some agreement for the control of the traffic in the Far East. Good results are already apparent from the agitation for the suppression of the (vice of opium smoking.
 The international conference is an outcome of the suggestions of Secre- tary Root and the cordial manner in which the governments have respond ed to the invitations 10 take part in it's deliberations is very gratifying.
