HORSES ARE DYING
WITH THE CHAMBERS

1t has been discovered that a num-
Der of horses in the grading camps in
and about Gary have been dying of
CHAMBERS. In all it is said that seven
horses have become the victims of the
disease.
When it is discovered that a horse
has CHAMBERS, the only thing left to
do is to shoot 1t and prevent the spread
of the disease, which is very con-
tageous.
An inspection of the various grading
camps will be made by a veterinary
and where horses are found to be af-
ficted with the disease they will be i'm
mediately killed.
Local horsemen are of the opinion
that If the epidemic is not stopped soon
there will be losses amounting to
thousands of dollars in horses.

An Unexpected Gift.

As the brisk phllanthropist thrust her fare into the ceb dri. ver's hand, she saw that he was wet and apparently cold after the half hour of pouring rain.
 Do you ever take anything when you get soaked through?' she asked.
 "Yes, ma'am," said the cab man, with humility, "I generally do."
 "Wait here in the vestibule, , commanded the philanthropist. She inserted her house key in the lock, opened the door and vanished, to reappear a moment later.
 "Here," she said, putting g small envelope in the mans out stretched hand. "These are two grain quinine pills; you take two of them now and two more 1T half an hour"

Kansas Girls as Campaigners.

William Allen White says the girl thus describes the campaign methods of one who was a candidate ia Elk county, Kansas, for Register of Deeds:
 "She advertised the fact that she was candidate and set forth her quail itic,,tions in chaste English in the pub lie prints, and called upon the voters to rally to her support; but she bored mo- body with personal importunities; her reticule wasn't loaded with explosive cigars; she didn't call people by their first names and pretend that it would be a privilege to die in their woodshed; she didn't loaf around the grocery stores telling people what an alfred good girl she was; she didn't carry around a smile that made h9r face ache, she didn't break into cou"try school houses to rant for a few hours.
 She retained her customary dignity and womanliness from the beginning, reasoning that the) people knew she wanted their votes; if they would not vote for her they could go to thunder. Yet she did not maintain too frigid a reserve. Upon the occasion of repnb- lican rally at Howard she took hand in the festivities and passed around red iemonate that complied with the pure food laws, and led the singing "Rally Round the Flag, Boys" and when she saw voters gnawing the bark of the trees she told them where they could get sandwich, and she made a thols- and friends without boring anybody.
 "The girl candidate is a success in Kansas, and it is impossible for her tc become too numerous"

Justice For Women Teachers.

The movement to equalize the payment of salaries to men and women teachers for equal work has become so widespread that it demands serious attention. Such a principle has already been established in Buffalo and Chicago, and it,is being consld- cred in New York and Philadel- phia. It appears that we can look forward to a not very dis tant time when women teachers will no longer suffer from unfair discrimination.
 The wonder is, not that this movement is coming, but that it has been so long on the way. If the present system is based upon the alleged superiority of meu as teachers, it hasn't very long life ahead of it. There are un- doubtedly some school situations that are handled better by men, but there are more where women are superior and there are many in which men are of no more use than they would be at making dollies. The idea that it costs men more to live than women Is probably a survival of the old theory that man is the natural provider and woman the idle re. cipient of all material blessings. Since teachers are self support. ing, and often family supporting, there isn't great deal in that contention. The only argument that cannot be answered is the very practical one that the mas culine teacher votes and the fem mine does not, and it is the vot- CTS who fix salaries.
 It will be bright day for edu- cation when the women teachers get as much pay as the men and the men get as much as they de- serve. If we were more ideal istic and less practical we would express the hope that all teach ers' salaries will be raised until the holders of the character of the coming generation are as we'll paid as the layers of brick.

What Could He Say?

It was not surprising that sus- picion fell on him. He was tray cling to town, and in a fit of ab- sence of mind took a fellow tray eler's umbrella. Much annoyed by his lapse, he apologized pro- fusely.
 On his way home at night he called for three umbrellas which his wife had left at a shop to be repaired. Fate decreed that he should travel in the same car riage as the man whose umbrel. la he had taken by accident. This man, seeing that he had three umbrellas in his hand, re. marked sarcastically: "I see you have had & successful day"

The Largest Irrigated Tract in fine
 World.

America has now triumphed over Egypt and India in holding what will soon be the largest ir- rigated tract of desert land in the world. This is what is known as the Twin Falls country, in the still new and young but ar dently enthusiastic state of Idaho. The Idaho men ''mean business" and the story of the Twin Falls country is worth telling.
 If the reader has never seen a tract of western ..desert" coun- try-a brown, dry, treeless, arid stretch of land, overgrown sparsely with sage brush, he has missed one of the most discour- aging and disconsolate sights in nature. This was the desolate appearance presented early in 1903 by the sland which now oc- cupies the distinction already mentioned. Now the women are playing bridge in the very places where five years ago the sage brush mournfully sprouted. Such is modern progress in the west. But think what it means. The game of bridge requires not only tables, chairs ane packs of cards, but houses-not only houses, but homes, and a more or less estab- lished and well organized society and all this you will find in the town of Twin Falls, with it's 4000 inhabitants, an infant town three years old, but most precocions infant. and one of the miracles of modern American life. Three years is a short time in which to enable men and women, however determined and capable, to build and inhabit a town with water works, a fine schoolhouse cost ing S54,OO0, the telephone, tele- graph add electric railway of every city, hospitals aed hotels, many rows of young trees and a park laid out for future embel- lishment. The Egyptians and Indians, who have had rather a good start of us in the matter of time and learning, would marvel somewhat at this useful city, Harper's Weekly.

San Diego and Yuma
 Railroad.

The San Diego Sun says: Con struction is to be started on a large scale shortly after the first of the year on the line which John D. Spreckels is building between San Diego and Yuma.
 Two routes have been survey ed, but it is understood the one selected dips into Mexican terri tory anu runs parallel with the border between the United States and Mexico for about fifty miles. This route was chosen because it affords a better grade. John D. Spreckels made 8 personal trip to Mexico several months ago and secured the concession for the portion of the line which is to be built through that coun- try, and at that time stated his preference for the lower route.
 It is apparently settled that this line is now to be built and some speculation is rife as to it's ultimate destiny. It has been rumored that it will be taken over, when completed, by Harri- man, who has at present no en- try into San Diego. It is said Ithat there has existed in the past an agreement between the South cru Pacific and the Santa Fe, by the terms of which neither was to invade the territory of the other.
 The Santa Fe already has a line into San Diego, and if the agreement which is said to have existed is still in force, the South. ern Pacific would be precluded hereunder from building into San Diego. There would be nothing in the way, however, od its buying an independent line, such as the Spreckels road when completed, if it so desired. Ii will be remembered that the San Joaquin Valley division of the Santa Fe was originally intended to be an independent line, and, as such, farmers, merchants anC others subscribed largely to its stock. When completed, how ever, this line was turned over to the Santa Fe.
 The Spreckels road will aid 1T the development of the extension of the Imperial valley in Mexico which constitutes principality that, properly developed, is tht richest land on the continent. It. continuation in the United State. shows what the valley is capable of when watered.

a different purpose-from distant parts of the county, from other towns or localities, some near, some far-drive in to inspect and ascertain personally the worth and reliability of the pledges that are made from time to time to the public by means ot exten- sive advertising-by poster mo- tices and in the local papers.
 Generally these strangers are heavy buyers, and return home ward well satisfied with the re- suits of their long trip.
 This is the finest and highest recommendation that can be giv- en to our business men and should be the source of their keenest pride and qualification.
 It proves that they have kept their promises and redeemed their pledges, and that they were able, as they intended, to meet the expectations of those who respond to their invitations and took them at their word.
 It proves further that these messages to the public. in, one form or another-newspaper ad- vertisements, posters or cird lars-are bringing them tie hoped-for results in the form of increased popularity, increased number of customers and in. creased business.
 If it were not so, why then so many strange faces in town! Why the rush of business these days? Why then do people trav- el so far to do business here?
 Here and there in localities are still to be found little, miser- ly business men who have not yet learned the great lesson of business progression, but gener- ally they lean against deserted counters, and sooner or later go to the wall.
 Business progression in these days is activity-expansion. The business man must speak to the people or they will not speak to him.
 He owes it to the people and the people are entitled to know what he has to offer them; if he will not keep in touch with them and keep them enlightened re- garding his business, they will reciprocate his slight. They will not keep in touch with him and he does not deserve it.
 The new and just demand of the people to be recognized by the business man and to be in. formed from time to time regard ing his activities, constitutes the most desirable, the most legiti mate kind of avertising.
 It is directly in opposition tc trick and wildcat advertising has the usefulness and brawn 0. sincerity, and finds stability 1T sound reason, in justice and il good business principle.
