the craving for freedom and place

the mastery.
These men will be shown what Ma
ture offers to the one who wishes to
make home for himself. Practical
" every part of the west and south.
OF any consequence from the agricul-
tural point of view, will be represent
ed by attractive displays and views.
Final arrangements have about been
completed, and 1t is practically GER
tain that the splendid exhibits made
at Seattle by various departments of
the government will be dropped off at
Chicago on the way back to Wash
ington. The date has been set SO
that this can be done easily,
The government exhibits are of the
greatest interest to the farmer and
the stockmen. One of the finest dis
plays is to be made by the reclama-
tion service. Models OF various pro-
jects are to be shown. Dams and
canals will be seen in miniature,
charts will explain every detail OF the
construction work and well arranged
displays will show what can be pro-
duced from fertile soil by means or
irrigation. This, therefore, will be a
rare opportunity to study details Of
the work of the reclamation service
and the first to be offered people Of
the middle west In addition to the
displays there will be lectures that
will include private projects, as well
as those developed under direction of
government officials.
The department of agricultural is
to display an unusually complete set
of models, transparencies, slides,
photographs, etc.
What the bureau of plant industry
has done and is doing will be evil
denced by rare plants, trees and
grains never before seen in America.
These things have been found in re-
mote spots of the old world and are
now being developed for the benefit
of the farmers.
The bureau of entomology will ex-
hibit enlarged models Of insects, as
well as large collection of specimens
both injurious and beneficial to crops.
The government will be given all of
the space necessary to show these ex-
hibits to the best advantage.
Makers Of appliances and machin-
cry for the farm will have attractive
exhibits. In addition there will be
seen the special machinery needed in
building and maintaining irrigation
projects. The present plan of using
large traction engines is comparative
ly new and will be revelation even
to the most experienced farmers of
the middle west.

MISSION NOTES.

| Since the dreaded "tick fever" has
attacked the cattle of South Africa
missionaries in Natal are receiving
milk from st. Charles, Illinois, but
ter from Australia. and beef, If they
have any, reaches them via Chicago
Commerce has made the world one
neighborhood. 1t is the work Of
Christianity to make it one brother
hood.
Medical missionaries in China say
that the natives will bear without
fiinching degree of pain from which
the stoutest of us would shrink in
terror. A woman in Shao-wu, afflict-
ed with an ulcer of the leg, was
treated by a native doctor One
day he came to the mission hospital
to show the physician in charge

he had pulled from the wound. 1t
was the sciatic nerve! To people suf-
fering from such barberous methods,
and to whom anaesthetics are un-
known, the merciful methods of for
eign doctors in the mission hospitals
seem like miracles.
Among the undesirable citizens"
in Turkey just now are some Arme-
mans coming back from the United
States imbued with false ideas Of
freedom gathered from residence in
this country They confound liberty
with license, and maintain that Chris
tianity makes. people too inoffen-
sive to protect itself. They say this
is the cause of their own political
weakness. 1t is hard for the Young
Turk party to have this troublesome
element added to the difficulties they
are graphing with, and American
missionaries, who have constantly
taught gospel of obedience to law,
regret that their own country should
furnish this type of undesirable citi-
zen.

CAN'T PHONE A TELEGRAM

w. L. Young, the Short Line agent
at this place has made an order that
hereafter no kilograms will be re-
ceived by telephone. They must be
presented at the window if they are
to be sent at all.
The reason for this change, Mr..
Young says, is that it is impossible to
keep the cash accounts right because
the man who phones his telegram and
says he will be going that way pretty
soon will call in and pay for it, for
gets or neglects to attend to it in so
many cases that it makes 1t necessary
to send man out to look after coll
lections He makes his calls and for
various reasons comes back without
getting all the money, and somebody
at the depot has to make it good out
of his salary.
There are many people who have
telephoned messages in, who have at
tended strictly to paying for them
the same day, but there are so many
of the other kind. that not even for
the sake Of the ten good men in
Sodom will the privilege be left open
to the public any longer. So if you
try to phone your message in and it
Is refused, don't be offended nor
argue the matter with the voice at
the other end of the wire, for rail-
road and telegraph people work by
rules, and while they may not suit
anybody but the railroad and tele-
graph people, they will probably be
followed

THE HEIsE HOT SPRINGS

\
Heise Hot Springs are on the South
Fork of Snake River at the mouth OF
the canyon, and are part of the vol
canic system that is slowly cooling
off but which still furnishes so many
natuarl wonders in the Yellowstone
Park. The Springs were formerly a
geyser beside the river, and the ac-
emulation of minerals from the wat
er formed a promotory reaching out
into the river like any ordinary ridge
or hill.
At the present time the old outlet
or crater through which the water
spouted, is dry, and the water flows
out at the side Of the hill into the
river or since improvements were
made by Mr.. Heise, it flows into a
five inch pipe and goes into the plunge
at the hotel a few hundred feet dis
tant.
The water is hot, and is charged
with iron, magnesia, sulphur and salt,
making it most delightful liquid in
which to bath. 1t has soothing eff
feet upon the system, and induces
sleep and rest.
Mr.. Heise,, the present owner Of
the springs, began improving them in
1896. He has expended about fifty
thousand dollars in buildings and 9th
er things that make it at once COM
fort and luxury. There is cold
spring that comes out Of the noun
tain 800 feet above the hotel, and this
has been piped down to furnish the
place with cold water.
The place is reached by stage from
Rigby, Idaho, the drive being about
fourteen miles through picturesque
valley 4

acres have big lesson cut out for
them when they shall have gotten
their Port Of Portland Commission at
work down at this end of the river;
when their tugs and steamers and
mariners are busy with the new
things the people up there are paying
so dearly for; and some OF the exper'
fences awaiting them here are likely
to cost them yet more, much more,
before they shall learn to take the
word Of the masters Of sea-craft who
are traversing these waters day in
and day out, the years through.
The Oregoian has thrown ht be-

There is just so much water avail

Interesting particulars OF what would
appear to be the earliest examples OF
written pledges to abstain from gam
bling and excessive drinking are givea
In the Turin Studi Medieyall by Signor
Girolamo Biscaro, who has discovered
three such documents In the archives
Of Milan. The first Of these records IL
an oath sworn on the gospels by Gia'
como Pasquan and Armanino Duca
to the effect that for two years they
will abstain from gambling in Pavia
or within three miles thereof and will
likewise refrain from inducing Others
to gamble on their behalf The penal
ty for any breach Of this oath Is fixed
at soldi. payable to Paplo Bovatorio,
In the second document Perano de
Bono promises Uberto de Proto to
abstain from gambling for certain
period, exception being made on be
half Of the game Of bismentiro, at
which. however. he was not to lose
more than denari on any one day.
Further. he undertakes not to visit
any inn for drinking purposes before
the hour of vespers on Monday. A
breach Of either clause Of the pledge
Involves the payment Of 8 soldi to De

Ferrario expressed his willingness to
pay u denari to his brother LamperiO

money in any place Of public resort or
to spend more than 2 denari on intoxE

The Most Common Sense Of
Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most COM
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm will afford
relief, and make rest and sleep pos,
sible. In many cases the relief from
pain, which is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
pie subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes in the weather, a perma-
nent cure cannot be expected; the
relief from pain fhich this liniment
affords is alone worth many times its
cost. Is and 5O.cent sizes for sale by
