SWASTIKA.

Mrs. VIII billiard was hostess
to the Swastika Club, Wednesday
June 10th. AS this was the last
meeting of the season, quite a
lengthy program was arranged,
but owing to sickness, and absense
from town, of some of the men,
bers, there were only a few num-
bers given. Mrs. George Barber
gave a beautiful reading from
"Under Two Flags" Onida. The
sentiments of this reading were
beautiful, and Mrs. Barber deliver
ed it in a manner that held the au=
dience spell bound. Mrs. billiard
gave q piano solo that was highly
enjoyed. Mrs. Sibly and Mrs. l..
J. billiard were the Club guests.
A rare treat that was highly APP
preciated, was the impromptu
piano numbers by Mrs. Sibly. Her
soft and gentle touch is character
istic of her lovable disposition, and
the music went straight to the
hearts of her listeners.
1t was decided that the CLUB
have 6shfry, July 4th, AS this
was the last meeting of the Club
year, each member drew out a
book. The Club will get q new
lot of books in the fall.
After all business was finished,
delicious refreshments were served.
The reception hall was beauti.
fully decorated in the Club colors,
white and green, with the Club
emblem, the Swastika, suspended
in the centre.
The Club will not have another
regular meeting until October.

less we think we know. Such 10
the inconsistency Of mans ideas
The less one knows the greater his
opinion of his abilities and wis.
dom. In the morning of life q
conceited man prides himself on
his greatness, and wonders to
what grand CHANNEL he will con.
fine his talents. He looks upon
his school district as the great
genius in whose keeping the
worlds nature rests. He i'm
AGNES that when he speaks, ma
tions tremble, mountains totter and
sea becomes silent.
He imagines that a gaping and
wondering populace are gazing Oh
him with open-mouthed wonder
and iron-olad establishment, and
that he holds the world in the hol-
low of his hand with grasp that
is perpetual.
But as days, and months, and
years pass in rapid succession, the
young man finds out that he is
possibly mistaken and if he would
wander away and get lost some
one or more of all the people on
the earth would not miss him. By
and by he begins to realize that he
is only one of the many millions
of people, and instead of standing
forth as the center of attraction,
he only fills a small niche of some
obscure corner, and really attracts
but little attention. The ignorant
man who realizes his ignorance
and who does not seek to pass him
self off for more than he is worth,
is pardonable, but the self-conceit-
ed man who tries to pass him self off
off at a premium, is to be pitied.
The best way is to hold ones self
esteem down and not rate himself
too high. The man who climbs
the highest has the fartherest to
fall.
1t is more pleasant to be invited
to take higher seat than to be de-
prived of it. 1t is more pleasant
to be king of a cottage than SER
want of a palace. 1t is better to be
a good five cent piece than bogus
quarter in other words, it is bet
better to hold ourselves at what
we are honestly worth. The
world is full of people who never
learn anything because they think
they know enough to begin with.
Thousands are teaching when they
ought to be taught; thousands be-
lieve themselves wise when their
ignorance is lamentable; thousands
believe themselves clothed in GOLD
when they are only thinly plated
and the copper shows through IN:
many places. The wisest are com
paratively ignorant and thousands
of men who have grand ideas OF
their own abili ties will some Gay
wake up to the realization tha'
they have been laboring under
large sized delusion. Many
young mans life is gilded oy
bright dreams that come IN the
early stage Of the game. but later
on he finds that these dreams are
only empty, and o, how little Is
! +bo obopra whan If comes.

RAILROADS IN OREGON.
Much Activity in Building Electric Lines in
Rogue River Valley.

Grants Pass. Ore. July 1a.-The valley Of the
Rogue River is probably going TO be The scene Of
much railroad building in the next years. At
the present time there three parties OF sur
veyors IN the field, presumably working for dif-
ferent companies One of them is laying OUT the
lines for extensive system OF electric roads which
will tap every valley running back from the Rogrs
River. and extending to the coast ar Coos Bsy
Another party is working into the valleys in tbs
Cascades to the east and across low pass INTO
the central Oregon country
As far known nine of these parties work
ing for Southern Pacific interests. and as Mr. Har
rfman has not yet taken great interest IN eiec
trtc roads and feeders to the main line IL is likely
that the roads are being pushed BY private Mai'
viduaS and corporations.
This part of Oregon is fed entirely by the souta-
Pacific, although there is outlet by way OF
Coos Bay which is not yet used 10 any extent lns

largest sum ever realized in one year by this
country any other from agricultural prod

There is much idle money that wider
employment Of funds In the investment markets
already is beginning TO develop and the chances
are that the use of money in securities in the
second half of the year will be far heavier than
reported In the last six months. Persons who
are engaged in sound business enterprises will
find no difficulty in securing all the credit they
need Credit facilities have not been harmed
by the recent business troubles and the finan-
cial institutions throughout the country as a
rule, stronger to-day than at any preceding
time in the history OF banking in the United
States. And they have made money DESPITE
the low rates for loans. Exchange at interior
cities is beginning to show that irregularity
that foreshadows a turn against this centre and
il is not unlikely that the demand for funds at
out-of town points soon will be heavy enough to
reduce reserve holdings at this centre though
losses large enough to bring about stringency In
the market are not looked for especially as in
