1t was high noon ere the girl
had recovered sufficiently from the
shock for the little party to move
on, down from the mountains to
Nampa. And so slowly did they
proceed, out of consideration for
her, that it was long after nightfall
ere the four rode into the bunga-
low on Grierson's orange planta-
tion-or, rather the place that he
had attempted to make an orange
plantation.

Queer Tariff Reform.

Secretary Taft is getting further
away from my policies" and nearer to
the tariff-protected and predatory in
terests as the time for the Republican
convention draws near. His latest ut
terance on the tariff sounds like it
was drawn from the lowest depth of
the Cannon oracle by one of the high
priests of projection. For years the
Republican leaders have been thor
oughly considering "the ACCESSIBILITY
of a revised tariff" and Taft has now
caught the same representation idea,
for he says:
"That is a problem which is 10Y be-
ing seriously discussed by the Repub-
lican leaders of the two houses, and it
seems to be the general opinion
among them that the ACCESSIBILITY of a
revised tariff should be thoroughly
considered"
What bosh to try and impress the
country with the idea, that the ad-
visibility of a revised tariff should be
thoroughly considered" That is the
old and delusive stand-pat argument
that has done duty for years and has
been so thoroughly considered" that
it is threadbare. This shows that
even those republicans, like Mr.. Taft,
who have swayed to the popular
breeze of tariff reform, are either
afraid of the protected monopolists, or
are really protoctionists at heart and
are intent on again fooling the plum
dered people.

KEEP GARMENTS IN CONDITION.
Hint for the Woman Who Would
Appear Well Groomed.

The N who always looks well
dressed and we'll groomed, although
her pin money is but half of yours, is
the n who never let's her clothes
YEA out.
When she discards any garment ii
shows no unsightly rents and tears
or any spots and stains; it simply is
worn too thin for further use. She
mends the instant a need appears.
Mending is a lost art nowadays.
There are few women who can mend
intelligently. This perfectly groomed
woman, however, keeps threaded
needles in her pin cushion, where they
will be ready for instant use. A rip
or split in her glove is mended as soon
as it appears and the braid of her
skirt is mended before she catches
her heel in it, endangering her life or
at least her bones.
The braid that is beginning to fray
is ripped off and turned, or replaced
with new. The little jagged tear,
where she caught her skirt on a nail
is mended with a piece of adhesive It's
sue such as is sold at the notion
counters for just such mending.
Wooden underwear is patched be-
fore there is a hole. The thin spots
are detected and carefully covered
with a patch before they wear through
and when any undergarment is toe
far gone to make further patching
feasible it is cut down for children's
wear.
With a stitch here and another one
there ones clothes can be kept in per.
feet condition if all spots are removed
as soon as they appear and creases
are smoothed away by careful and
thorough pressing.

particularly expensive to keep on

azaleas and ~poinsettias, and these are
the ones that are most popular. When
natural flowers can be worn they are,
of course, preferable, but the imita

METHODS OF CLEANING STRAW.
Renovation a Comparatively Easy
Thing to Accomplish.

To clean a white Milan or a split
straw, scrub with toothbrush or nail
brush dipped in a weak solution of
oXalic acid and water, then with clean
water, not wetting more than neces-
sary. Then scatter precipitate of sui
phur and lay in the Ii Brush off
with a clean brush when dry and your
hat will be clean and white. A black
Milan, hemp braid or horsehair, clean
with nap side of velvet dipped in al
cohol and rubbed thoroughly with the
tips of the fingers. Black chip, give
a coat of bottle shoe backing. Col
ored hats, clean with gasoline and a
piece of velvet. Faded hats can be
tinted with a dye made of oil paints
and gasoline.
The only remedy for chip hats that
are sunburned or faded is to give them
a coat of polish or take them to a pro-
fessional. White, colored and black
lace or net hats can be cleaned by
dipping the entire hat, without the
trimming, in clean gasoline and dry
ing outside. -.

The tobacco trust is reported to be
about to dissolve. Friends in Wash
ington-apparently Republicans-are
said to have advised such action on
the ground that the officials of the
trust are liable to prosecution under
the antitrust law. Ever since 1902 the
department of justice has had on file
the evidence to convict the trust Off
cials, but has refused to prosecute.
Now at this late day, just before a ma
tional election, evidently for political
effect, the administration is beginning
to get busy, But apparently the trust
officials need not be Charmed, they

sure you that l heartily agree with
of the natural resources of our country
presents a problem demanding the
best thought of our times is superflu-
Gus. We have been exploiting our
resources with no thought of the NOR
row, and the claims of posterity upon
us should certainly be taken into &C.
count"
In his letter of invitation to the
conference President Roosevelt said:
There is no other question now
before the nation of equal gravity
with the question of conservation of
our natural resources, and it is the
plain duty of us who, for the moment,
are responsible, to take inventory of
handed down to us, to forecast the
needs of the future, and so handle the
great sources Of our prosperity IS
not to destroy in advance all hope Of
the prosperity of u descendants"
The need for such a conference Is
illustrated by a few facts vouched for
by investigators. Government experts
say that between 900, 000, 900 and AGO.
100000 tons of coal we're lost in 1906
by penny wise and pound foolish
methods, and that the total so wasted
since the beginning of the industry
is so, 000,0 900 900 tons. Millions upon
millions of horsepower are going to
waste through failure properly to
utilize and conserve the waterpower of
the United States.
The construction of reservoirs at
the sources of streams in which flood
waters may be stored to be released
not only to keep the waters at a con-
tinuous level, but prevent the destruc-
tion of property by floods, maintain
constant levels for navigation and to
develop water power.
At the present rate of timber con-
sumption it is estimated that the price
of every kind sof lumber will be about
double the present price only one de-
cade from to-day.
1t is said that the total iron ore
available in the world to-day is 49,
900, 000,0 900 tons, Of which three-fiftls
Is in the United States. Should the
rate of consumption continue to in
rea in the United States in the
same ratio that it has in the course Of
the last score Of years, at the end of
two centuries there would be no
more ore to be mined.
In the United States there is an area
of 175,000, 900 acres of land susceptible
to reclamation by irrigation. and $780,
000,00 acres of western public range
which may be made available for in.
creased production Of meat by restrict.
ing the grazing and r~eseeding portions
which have been destroyed by unre-
stricted grazing. With this area
made available once more, 1t is esti-
mated that its meat producing capac-
ity will be nearly doubled.

On May IL President Roosevelt en-.
tertained at dinner the cabinet, the
members Of the supreme court, the
governors and the other more dis
tinguished guests. Clifford Pinchot,
chief of the forestry division, gave a
reception to the governors and the In
land Waterways association on May
IA. On the afternoon of May Is Mrs
Roosevelt gave a garden party on the
White House grounds for all the dele,
gates to the convention. At the vari
u hotels in Washington arrange
ments were made for smaller recep'
tions and dinners.
All of the governors who accom-.
panied President Roosevelt on his Mis-,
sissippi river trip last fall were pres.
ent. They 10: Conner of Alabama,

That the conference attracted world.
wide interest was evidenced by the
fact that many of the foreign diplo-
mats at Washington followed the at
fairs of the convention closely.
Those who were in close touch with
the conference arrangements declare
they have ave known another move
ment which has been greeted with
such quick and enthusiastic popular
approval.
An indication of public opinion was
afforded by the great mass of CORE
spondence which poured into the
White House on this subject. Organi.
cations Of all sorts expressed realiza.
ton of the greatness of the enter.
prise.
That conservation of national re.
sources Is nothing about which the
political parties wish to raise an is.
u is indicated by the attitude of the
Democratic leaders. Both William ],
Bryan and Gov. John A. johnson,
leading candidates for the Democratic
presidential nomination, wrote to
President Roosevelt expressing their
approval. Equally emphatic indorse-
ment, 1t Is understood, has been voiced
by Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Bryan's
letter to the president read: Il great.
ly appreciate your kind invitation and
shall take pleasure in attending the
conference on the conservation of nat
ural / am, / beg to assure
you, in hearty sympathy with the pur-
pose Of the conference, and / have no
