tombstones seems rather a grewsome
one, still the ancients associated the
tomb with the highest artistic i'm
pulse. In the eastern states the man
ufacture OF concrete tombstones has
already assumed the proportions Of
an important industry, so great is the
economy of concrete, With con-
crete as the structural material there
is no limit to the opportunity of the
artist. Whether the concrete so
nodded as to make the ornamental

MEEKER IN OREGON
PIONEER TRAIL MARKER
RETURNS TO THE WEST
After Travelling Over 1890 Miles by
Ok Team During the Past Year and
Half, Ezra Meeker Visits Port
land and Tells His Experiences
Outlook for National Highway
Across the Continent Is Good.

The oregon Daily Journal says OF
the return of Ezra Meeker, the pio-
neer trail marker to the northwest
states and Of his excellent work ip the
interest of a national highway across
the continent.
Having addressed more than 100,-
600 school children, met the president
in the White House and numerous
other notables, and believing that the
purpose of his trip along the old Ore
gon trail-to Nhave congress build a
concrete road across the continent
will eventually be a success Ezra
Meeker the pioneer arrived in Port
land this morning after having trav-
eled more than $500 miles by OK team
in the last year and a half
Mr. Meeker will remain in Port
land for two weeks and will take part
in the Pioneers, day celebration on
June 10. The OK team and wagon
and camp outfit are on their way to
Portland, having been shipped from
st. Joseph, Missouri, by train last
week. While here Mr.. Meeker will
camp out on some lot in the city.
This afternoon Mr.. Meeker will con-
suit Jacob Kamm, another old timer,
to see If he can have the privilege OF
putting up his tent on one of Mr..
McCamm's lots near the bushes dis
trict
Mr.. Meeker says his trip has been
a success in every way. The people
everywhere, he says, were particular
ly glad to see him and welcomed him
with open arms. Tn New York city,
where Mr.. Meeker remained two
months, the aldermen passed a special
ordinance allowing his OK team to
appear. on the streets of Americas
metropolis.
Since he left the coats in January,
1906, Mr.. Meeker has lived in the
open most of the time, and visited
most of the principal cities of the
country. As a result he is still "77
years young" as he puts 1t himself.
\ While away one of the oxen died
but the other still remains in service.
The mate was taken from the stock
yards at Omaha and has since travel
ed more than 5000 miles, dragging the
prairie schooner and driver all those
miles.
For the present Mr.. Meeker is stay
ing at the Perkins. The OK team will
arrive within a few days and will ap-
pear on the streets OF Portland. AT
The Dalles they will be unloaded from
the freight car and driven to Port
land by Mr.. Meeker himself. who will

OF several great storage dams az
present under construction by the
reclamation service perhaps the most
strlkingly interesting are the three
high masonry dams knows as the
Shoshone. the Pathfinder, and the
Roosevelt. The highest Of these, the
one in fact that will be distinguished
as the highest dam in the world, is
being built in the canyon of the Sho'
shone river in northwestern Wyoming
six miles west OF the town of Cody, so
named after Col. w. II, Cody, better
known as Buffalo Bill"
The Shoshone, or the Sinking Wa
ter river, as 1t was originally named
because of the occurrence along Its
course of springs giving off noxious
gases, rises in northwestern Wyoming
in the spurs OF the eastern slope Of
the Great Continental Divide, known
as the Absorka and Shoshone ranges
The drainage basin of the river
above the Shoshone dam is about
1900 square miles In extent. varies In
altitude from 5000 to 10000 feet, in
cludes many high peaks within the
Yellowstone National park, and is re-
markable for its wild und rugged
scenery. The region is one Of heavy
snowfall is we'll timbered and. pur-
suant to the wise national policy OF
forest preservation, Is included al

Just below where the two main
forks OF the river join In a narrow
and deep canyon, the almost perpen'
,dicular granite walls of which rise to
a height OF several hundred feet.
Through this gigantic crack in the
solid rock the melting SHOWS of the
entire watershed Just described find
their only exit, carrying to waste
during the annual flood season of a
few weeks sufficient water to re-
claim many thousands of acres of the
desert lands of lower attitudes. With
in this canyon, at point Of almost
ideal natural advantages, Is being
nodded the solid wedge of concrete
which Is to be known as the Shoshone
dam. AI lG..tF i
The height of this towering struc-
ture when completed will be 325h

A CURIOSITY OF LvNAcY.
~Periodieity Of Mania by Which the
Patient Lives Three livss,

P~eriodieity Of Mania by Which the
Patient Lives Three Lives.
There is a special form Of mental dis
ease, first described in France, whose
definite character is given to it by its
periodicity, and hence it Is called folie-
circulaire. In it there ire three sections
Of the mental circle that the patient
moves in-viz, elevation, depression
and sanity-and in this round he
spends his life, passing out Of one into
the other, for it is. when fully estab-
lished, a very incurable disease.
The patient takes al attack of mania.
during which he is joyous. restless.
troublesome. extravagant and often
vicious. He eats voraciously. sleeps
little and never seems to tire. His
temperature is a degree or so above
the normal, his eye is bright and glis.
tening, he is enamored Of the other sex,
he shows diminished self control and
no common sense.
This lasts for a few weeks, or a few
months more commonly, and then he
passes sometimes gradually and some
times rather suddenly into a condition
Of depression, during which he is slug
gish, dull, looking differently, dressing
differently, eating differently, fearful,
unrellant and sedentary in habits.
This state will last q few weeks or
months, and the patient will brighten
up into what seems recovery and is to
all intents and purposes in his normal
state. This again lasts for a few
weeks or months. and he gradually
gets morbidly elevated. You find he is
passing through every minute mental
phase and habit he did at first. De.
preston follows as before, and then
sanity, and this round of three states
of feeling, Of intellect, of volition and
Of nutrition, goes on, circle after circle,
till the patient dies. He lives three
lives.-Hospital.

Now you will likely want to know what
n a expect a good COW to bring you
in return for feed and labor. This of
course depends on different things. The
kind of cows you have, the pasture, care,
and feed that is raised on the farm, the
time they come fresh. and also the help
you have at home to do the work. From
$40 to $40 is about the average profit
from reasonably we'll kept cows in this
neighborhood. There is a big difference
in the profit Of different cows as we
found by weighing and testing ours.
The years results proved that while a
few of the best produced butterfat to the
value of $50 above all feeding expense,
a number of the poor ones did not do
half so we'll and n just paid expenses.
The latter kind get off the farm quick.
While our herd of nineteen cows, which
gave 1o6,o3o pounds of milk with a fat
content of 3,o74.I pounds, was composed
wholly of grade stock, principally of
Durham breed, there is in this neighbor-
hood more than a dozen registered pure
bred Holstein-F resian sires at the head
of as many different herds, also about
twenty females of the same breed being
used as foundation herds and they are
giving good satisfaction. This pure

BOLD, BAD MEN DO

MURDER AND ROBBERY sTARTlE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS, WHILE CRIMINALS MAKE THEIR ESCAPE.

New Orleans, February 90.-Two un- usually bold daylight crimes were com mitted in New Orleans today One was murder on the outskirts of the city and the other a $15,O0O diamond rob- pery pulled off in the heart of the bus mess district, where the thieves were Tn View of scores of startled speeta- tors an descaped safely with their plunder.
 The murder was that of an unknown Italian. Half an hour after he had been seen walking along a railroad track his body was found bearing four gunshot wounds, several stab wounds and broken arm. The police attribute the murder to a Black Hand organization.
 The robbery was perpetrated here this afternoon at the jewelry estab- lishment of M. Waldhorn & Co., Conti and Royal streets.
 Two men drove up in front of the store in buggy. One of them align ted and smashed one of the large plate glass windows in the front of the store. He quickly seized two trays filled with diamonds and jumping back into the started in pursuit, but men, buggy and horse were soon lost to sight in a cloud of dust in the old French quarter.
 The proprietors of the jewelry store say the trays contained 112 diamond rings whose value was between s15,000 and $20,000.
