INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY.

To gain confidence I'm the financial
and Industrial stability of our own
western country we have only to look
about us and consider the great under
takings which are proceeding apace in
spite of rather quiet business condi-
tions in the east, says the Westerner.
In Seattle and Portland, Tacoma
and Spokane and other cities of the
prosperous northwest. construction
work Of all kinds has continued to
proceed at a pace which to the eastern
cities would seem like the greatest
kind of prosperity.
In any Of these cities large buildings
are being erected on every side, and
In the larger cities, gaunt steel frames
creeping toward the clouds show the
outlines Of rapidly building sky
scrapers.
Away from the cities we find signs
Of equal activity and prosperity on
the west slope of the Cascades, thous-
ands Of men are busy at work clearing
away the stumps and underbrush
from the fertile and productive log
ged off lands, and hewlng future
homes out OF the wilderness for scores
Of thousands Of prosperous and
thrifty people.
On the east side of the mountains.
in the great inland empire, the gov
ernment Is at work on its great irrl-
cation projects, which together with
number Of large private projects
under way will reclaim from the des-
ert, millions Of acres Of the most fer
tie and productive lands in the world.
The farmers in the wheat belt are
to SOW the seed for wheat |
srop which will probably exceed that
If 1907 The entire crop Of the farms

THE FOOLS PRAYER

The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish
care.
And to his Jester cried "Sir Fool
kneei now, and make for us a
prayer"
The Jester doffed his cap and bells.
And stood the mock!ng court be-
fore;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore
lie bowed his head, and bent his knee
upon the monarchs yilken stool:
His pleading voice arose: 20 LORD
BE merciful to me. fool!
mo pity, Lord, could change tho
From red with wrong to white as
wool;
Ihe rod must heal the sin; but. Lord
BE merciful to me, a fool!
It's not by guilt the onward sweep
Or truth and right, o Lord, we stav,
It's by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from bo,,or
away
lhese clumsy feet, still In the mire.
Go crushing blossoms without end.
These hard, well-meanlng hands we
thrust
Among the heart-strInrs NJ
friend.
The ill-tlmed truth we might have
kept
Who knows how sharp II pierced
and stung?
Inc word we had not sense to saw
Who knows how grandIv u b,a
rung?
our faults no tenderness should ask
The Christening stripes must cleanse
them all,
But for our blunders--ob in shame
betore the eyes Of heaven we fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave and scourge
the tool
That did his Will; bu! Thou. o Lord,
BE merciful to me. fool!"
Inc room was hushed: in silence rose
rhe King and sought his gardens
cool,
And walked apart and murmured
low,
BE merciful to me. fooll"

TOO PATRIOTIC.

Patrick had worked hard all his
days, but his sons had spent his mon
ey for him, and when he was too old
for active work he was offered the
position of crossing-tender at a small
railroad station. He looked dubious
as the duties OF the office were ex-
planned to him and the meaning of
the various flags was clearly stated.
"In case Of danger, with a train
coming, of course you wave the red
flag" said his friend, proceeding with
the explanation. A hard old hand
grasped his arm.
Man, dear, it'll never do" said
Patrick, shaking his head solemnly.

SPRINGS FOR FARM WAGONS.
Big Saving in Comfort and Money e.
fected by Their Use.

big saving in money and in COM
fort could be made by the universal
use of springs on farm wagons. Per-
ishable products, like fruit, vegetables
and eggs, are greatly injured by be-
ing carried to market over rough
roads. The jolting and jarring from
springless wagons result in much in
jury to the load This is often SO
great that buyers will cut the price
from one-fourth to one-third.
Peaches carried ten miles on q
springless wagon are often unfit to
ship when they arrive at the car. The
loss on this one crop alone Is very
heavy. Large peach growers and or.
chardists know full well that their
fruit must be handled like eggs, SO
they use light wagons with flexible
springs, and draw small load. Small
farmers and growers, with only an
acre or two, cannot afford orchard
wagons, but they would save enough
on each load to pay for a good set
Of bolster springs.
The use of springs is also a great
comfort to the driver of the load.
Furthermore, says Farm and Home,
they lengthen the life Of. the wagon,
because they take up the jolts and the
jars. Even for drawing grain, hay, po-
tatoes and other farm crops they are
very useful. The load rides much bet
ter, Is not SO likely to shake of, and
the comfort to the driver, who must
spend, good share of his time on
the wagon, is Unreasonable

Nothing Which Pays Better for the
Trouble and Cost.

Nothing is more pleasing and at

the flower seeds planted in our flower
garden every spring or even the va
riety of bulbs set in the fall.
Seeds sown in the spring include
several varieties OF poppy, pansies,

tions, cannas. chrysanthemums, alys-
sum. dahlias. datura. larkspur. mari.
gold, morning glory. nasturtiums, Pc
tunias, sweet peas, verbena, forget
me-not and sweet william. We also
plant many bulbs which are taken up
in the fall and stored away until
spring.
We have beds Of geraniums, hardy
roses and Towering shrubs that grow
four to five feet high and bloom pro-
fusely. The cut shows the arrange
ment Of the drives and walks, trees,
shrubs, ETC.. Of our place. There is a
hedge bordering the yard. two ever.
green trees in front and some hard
naples over 100 years old.
The driveway is semi-circular, and
near the road is signboard or sale

HOW TO MAKE LAMPS BURN.
Small Piece Of camphor In Oil Vessel
10 a Good Thing.

Any amount Of trouble arises from
trying to read or write by bad light;
not only does it affect the eye, but the
whole nervous system as we'll.
Work done by poor light is never

not do their best under a strain. and
time as well as health Is wasted.
In the country candle or lamp light
is generally used, for gas or an cleo
trio plant 10 not always near at hand.
1t is often good thing, for most of
the ocular trouble nowadays is put
down to the electric burners.
For good steady light there is
nothing better than lamp, but like
most everything it has to have atten-
ton. After cleaning well and filling 1t,
place small lump of camphor in the

they take in the new enterprise.
Governor Buchtel was the first

the state is growing, the governor pre-
