THIS RIVER rs ON A RIDGE.

Save one other, the Yukon in Alas
ka, the North Canadian river in Okla
homa is the only stream in the United
States whose bed has a higher alti-
tude than the country on either side
Of its course. Throughout almost its
entire course in Oklahoma this stream
flows in groove on the crest of a
ridge and has no important tributaries.
Generally flood water in the country
adjacent to the North Canadian would
have to run uphill to find outlet into
its channel.
The watershed of Oklahoma slopes
from the high plains country of the
extreme western part of the state east
ward to the Arkansas river and in
some portions of the state southwark
and southeasterly to Red river, which
separates Oklahoma from Texas, the
decline in altitude being from about
5000 feet in the west to much less
than 1000 feet at the eastern edge of
the state.
The North Canadian river, some
times called the north fork of the main
or South Canadian river, is formed by
the Junction Of Wolf creek and the
Beaver near Fort Supply in Woodward
county. 1t runs parallel to the Cimar-
ron, the Salt Fork, the South Canadian
and for considerable distance the
Deep Fork, the waters of all of which
finally find their way to the Arkansas.
Though the streams comparatively are
close together. the North Canadian
is 200 feet higher than the
Cimarron and $50 feet higher than the
South Canadian.
None of the tributaries of the North
Canadian extends further back than
five or six miles from its channel. In
several instances, notably at Oklahoma
City, it is only about two miles north
ward from the channel of the river to
where the watershed of the Cimarron
begins. At Shawnee, thirty miles east
IF Oklahoma City, two miles south of
the North Canadian. In the Creek Ma
ton IN the neighborhood of Lenna the
Deep Fork and the North Canadian are
only about three miles apart. the
former being mud stream and the
latter filled with dangerous quick
sands.

FLOUR SELLS AT $40 A SACK.
Famine Prices Prevail in Mining Town
Of British Columbia.

New Westminster, B. C.-Famine
prices prevail at Hazelton, mining
town in northern British Columbia,
with a floating population Of about
500 people, according to advices re
ceived here.
Flour is selling at $40 a sack, sugar
costs $3.50 a pound, and is only sold
in small quantities. tea, one blend
only, is worth from four dollars up,
and all other commodities are CORE
spondingly high.
The town is on the verge of becem-
ing dry hardly any spirituous
liquors being in stock at the three sa-
looms.
Recently, when it was made known
that the last steamer to reach the spot
had not brought up any "hootch,"
prices were sent soaring upward, as
high as $25 being paid for half a bot
tie of gin, the stuff being sold by
auction, IS returning prospectors bid
ding for the coveted thirst quencher.
There is no whisky left in the town,
only half case of brandy. and very
little of any other kind of hard drink.

CRITICISM OF ~pRAYlNe MAN."
Great Preacher Saw Little Virtue in
Certain Forms of Appeal.

When men begin their prayers with
"Oh, thou omnipotent, omniscient, ON
ni-present, all-seeing, everything,
blessed potentate, Lord God Jehovah!"
I should think they would take breath.
Think Of man in his family, hurried
for his breakfast, praying in such a
strain! He has note coming due,
and 1t is going to be paid to-day, and
he feels buoyant; and he goes down
on his knees like a cricket on the
hearth and piles up these majestically
moving phrases about God. Then he
goes on to say that he is sinner; he
Is proud to say that he is a sinner.
Then he asks for his daily bread. He
has 1t; and he can always ask for it
when he has it. Then he jumps up
and goes over to the city. He comes
back at night and goes through a
similar wordy form of evening pray
ers;" and he is called "a praying
man." A praying man? l might as
well call myself an ornithologist be-
cause I eat chicken once in a while
for dinner.-Henry Ward Beecher.

YOUTHFUL DREAM REALIZED.
Minnesota Man WEEDS Sweetheart Of
Thirty Years AGE.

Clear Lake, Ia--Thirty years is q
long time to wait for the realization
of youthful love dreams, but it came
nevertheless to Miss Caroline Rich
ardson, daughter of S. NJ. Richardson,
one of the Oldest residents of the coun-
ty, who was wed to J. W. McGraw Of
Remer, Mimi, the ceremony occurring
in the Office Of the clerk of the court
at Mason City. The bride has passed
her fifty-eighth birthday, and the
groom is just turned sixty-four
The young people grew up together
during the pioneer days of northern
Iowa and were plighted to each other.
Some trouble arose which sent the
young lover adrift and he went into
Minnesota, where he has won COM
potency by hard toll, while the bride
could not forget, remained at home,
and as the years advanced became
more and more the dependence of her
aged parents, who few months ago
celebrated their SEVENTEEN wedding
anniversary, to be followed a few
weeks later by the death of the wife
and mother
John McGraw, too, had not forgot
ten, and he casually learned Of his
youthful sweetheart, that she was still
unmarried, and correspondence soon
revived the old love and led to the
happy event.
The old father, now past ninety, has
gone to live with another daughter,
which has left the one who has cared

Doctors for the Well.

There seems TO be much to COM
mend the practice of employing a doc
tor at SO much per year to visit the
homes of his clients, watch their diet,
clothing, habits, the sanitary condi-
ton Of their person and homes; to
teach them the laws of health and how
to be temperate in eating, drinking,
bathing, exercising, recreation and
work. People who are never sick are
the ones TO whom this should apply
with special force, for there always
comes the day when sickness knocks
at their door. The old adage: "An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" is as good today as when
1t was uttered centuries ago.-Boston
