Alaska exposition. We will miss her
but we will be doubly pleased when
she returns.
Mr.. Stockley of Elgin has bought
the Bert Clay farm and expects his
family to spend the summer there,
at least. He is the owner of two
sawmills and contemplates the NOV
ing of one of them into the Eden
country, as there is none here and
everybody wants lumber. There is
plenty of fine timber here.
Some of our energetic residents
are already planning for a Fourth
of July celebration at Troy. Peter
Flicker $50 / have been told) has
indy offered to fix up his large
store building for a grand ball at
night. There will be the best of
dance music and probably basket
picnic on the grounds in the day
time, plenty of games, good pro-
gram, and last, but not least, some
good speaker to keep us from for
getting the meaning of the 4th OF
July or independence day and our
patriotism ever true.
Road Work.
Several OF our ranchers have do
mated work on the Troy hill road to
make it passable, when finished, for
wagons. Pearl stevenson worked 10
or Is days; Jesse Beecher worked
22 days; Ed Wilcox and Charlie Har-
robson each worked quite a number
of days, and James Downing has do
mated 90 days all told. Mr.. Down
ing is past the age limit, but that
didn't keep him from doing the work.
If the Eden men could all work at
the same time, it would not take
very long to get good wagon road
to Troy, then we would be 'it," and
we would keep the weeds down from
travelling over it so often.
There will sooa be telephone con-
nection to Flora. as the poles are
all up, and soon the wire will be
strung. Next summer the Edenites
expect to have a line down to, Troy.
II they do they will be wise, for
many long trip will be saved by
having one. and maybe many do
lar saved also.

cases Of rheumatism are simply rheu-
matism of the muscles, due to cold
or damp, or chronic rheumatism. In
such cases no internal treatment is
required. The free application of
Chamberlain Liniment is all that
is needed, and it is certain to give
quick relief. Give it a trial and see
for yourself how quickly it relieves
the pain and soreness. The medi-
cines usually given for rheumatism
are poisonous or very strong medi-
cines. They are worse than useless
in cases of chronic and muscular
rheumatism. For sale by Burnaugh

BOARD BILL or CANARY BIRDS SO, OOO,O OOA YEAR
An American Consul Investigates the Tiny Warbler Down
to the Last Grit in His Craw.

human beings. They bring the food
cost up to full 81.
Not wholly negligible expense,
this of the canary's little board bill !;
and yet considerably less than the
total of his maintenance, for his Iodg-
ing must be reckoned with.
That lodging, including the minor
factor of the housing of other feath-
cred pets, like parrots, keeps going
the establishments of live manufac-
turers of bird cages and supports in
comfort 1000 working people.
The expert estimate is that the life
of a cage is that of two and one-half
successive bird tenants, so that it may
endure from one to ten years, with
an average of four years, and, at an
average cost of 81 cage, may
amount annually to from 20 to so
cents.
Adding the incidentals of break
age of cage furniture, and small but
necessary repairs, and disregarding
wholly the item of attendance, which
is usually a labor of love, the main
tenance of the average canary is
cheap to its owner at $3.50 a year
total of $12, 100000 annually for
the estimated 100000 birds in the
United States.
But million dollars and more is
to be added for the nat cost of re-
newal of stock, good birds costing
from $3.50 to IS apiece, and this
country now importing at least 25
per cent. Of the 100000 birds bred
in the Hartz mountain district in
Europe every year.
In Germany a really fine ROLLER"
sells readily for $25 or $50; in the
United States $50 for a canary equal
to a whole orchestra would fill with
intolerable anguish the soul of a mil
liOnaire from whom as much for a
bird and some bottles would elicit
merely a grunt of approval at the
size of his meal check.

JOURNAL HAD A FLARE-UP
4 STORY THAT CAUSED A HEAR
TY LAUGH IN ATLANTA.
There Had Been Some Money Paid
For Auditing Books Before
This Time,

ATLANTA, Ga.-A little story in
the Atlanta Jurnal caused a broad
smile among capitol officials.
The story was under a scare-head
and hold of how much it cost the
state to have the books of the treas
ury department audited a few weeks
ago The amount was 1915, and it
was paid to Alonzo Richardson &
Co., who were employed by Governor
Brown to make careful examina-
ton and report actual conditions.
This they have done. Their report
is accepted as a true one by every
body acquainted with conditions.
What causes the smile, though, is
the Journals attempt to make cap
ital of the amount paid. An exam
ination of the warrant book in the
executive secretary's office today
shows that Governor Smith, on June
the 22nd, paid the same firm for pre-
cisely the same work $779.34, or a
little more than twice the amount
paid by Governor Brown. On June
the 10th Governor Smith paid the
Joel Hunter Co., another firm of ex-
pert accountants $4,000 for investi-
eating the books of the prison COM
mission, though those books were in
vestigated just six months before that
by legislative committee.
A comparison, therefore, between
the amounts paid by Governor Brown
and Governor Smith for auditing
books of the treasury shows that the
common sense and Judgment" of
Little joe saved the state about
$404. or more than half of the total
cost under the Smith regime.
Give the Journal a splinter and
it will make a cord of wood from
it, if the present administration is
involved; give it a little fact and it
will make a big fake" said capt.
toll official in laughing at it's latest
discovery.

TO INSPECT sOUTH's ROADS
Interest of Better Public
Highways
Highways.


The Office of public roads of the
United States department of agri-
culture is preparing to send an en-
gineer and a photographer on a tour
through most of the southern states
for the purpose of securing accurate
data with explanatory photographs
showing the present status of road
building and maintenance in the
south.
The exact itinerary has not yet been
arranged, but it is probable that the
party will follow the line of the
Southern Railway through Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Ala
bama to Memphis; thence down
through the Delta country to New
Orleans, and thence eastward through
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Flori
da and up the Atlantic seaboard.
The investigation will result in the
assembling of much interesting and
useful data, not only as to the eX-
tent of bodybuilding in the south,
but the opportunities for improve
ment. From the standpoint of the
rOad-builder the tour will be exceed
ingly instructive, as it will afford
opportunity for a comparative study
of crushed stone, gravel, sand-clay,
shell and other types of road under
various conditions of climate, to-
biography and traffic, and in addition
to this careful observations will be
made of the experimental burnt clay
roads in the Mississippi delta, and
of the oiled burnt clay road at Green
Vile, Miss, constructed under the SUI
pervisiOn of the United States Office
of public roads. The use of convict
labor in road work will also be made
a subject of careful study, as we'll as
the economic results following the
expenditure of large sums of money
for road building in many of the
southern counties
AS the itinerary has not been def
nitely determined upon it is possible
that changes will be made from time
to time in accordance with requests
of various communities, who may de-
eide to be represented in this govern
ment report.

PEANUTS FOR INSOMNIA.
Eat Quart and Drink Lots of Milk
and Wait.


Yesterday a friend who had heard
that l sometimes suffered from in
somnia told me of a sure cure. Eat
a quart of peanuts and drink two or
three glasses of milk before going
to bed" he said, 'and I'll warrant
you'll be asleep within half an hour"
l did as he suggested, and now,
for the benefit of others who may be
affected with insomnia, | feel it to
be my duty to report what happened,
so far as | am able this morning to
recall the details. First, let me say
my friend was right. | did go to
sleep very soon after my retirement.
Then friend with his head under
his arm came along and asked me if
| wanted to buy his feet. l was ne
gotiating with him when the dragon
on which l was riding slipped out of
his skin and left me floating in mid
air. While | was considering how
to get down a bull with two heads
peered over the edge of the we'll and
said he would haul me up if I would
first climb up and rig a winlass for
him.
So, as ! was sliding down the
mountainside the brakeman came in,
and | asked him when the train would
reach my station. 1--WE passed your
station $50 years ago. he said, clam
ly folding up the train and slipping
it into his vest pocket
At this juncture the clown bound
ed into the ring and pulled the CEN
fer mole ont of the ground lifting
the tent and all the people in it up,
while l stood on the earth below
watching myself go out of sight
among the clouds above.
Then | awoke and found that
had been asleep almost ten minutes.

She ate no more than a bird.
1t is a quotation, of course, al
though not from any novel more re-
sent than A. D. 1895, when delicate
heroines were in fashion and prac-
tical ORTHODOXY was understood only
ny poultry farmers.
She eats like a bird" would be
true now of the strapping, hearty
heroine and would convey some prac-
teal idea of the birds appetite.
The modern heroine weights we'll
up to 1875 pounds, and she could keep
IL up. on the simple life diet. at a
minimum cost of 50 a week. The
canary weighs barely an ounce or so !;
hut his still palmer food amounts to
So a year
So far as delicate dieting goes the
human heroine, as proved by statis-
ties, is distinctly bird; but what the
bird is, and especially the canary
bird, becomes a much more grossly
material story.
An American consul in Germany,
Robert ]. Thompson, at Hanover, raw
aging the earth in his neighborhood
Tor hard, Gradgrind facts, after the
manner Of the new and omniscient
American consul everywhere, lit upon
the innocent canary this spring, and
Investigated him down to the last
particle of grit in his tiny craw.
He discovered that there are no
fewer than 100000 canaries warb-
ling away in the United States, each
eating twenty-five pounds of bird
seed in a year, at cents pound
for the seed His admiring chiefs
in the department of commerce and
labor promptly informed the country
at large.
Now, in the country at large there
are certain men who import those
birds by the hundred thousand and
sell them again in lots as small as
an individual canary. Those men
we're willing to let the main figure,
as to the total number of birds,
stand: but they are profoundly con-
WINGED that the expense Of keeping
them is very much higher.
In Philadelphia there is one i'm
porter who brought in 10000 birds
last year, with his business still in
creasing In the local market he dis
posed of 10000 of them; the remain
ing $4,000 were distributed through
out the United States.
II am liable" said this extensive
dealer, Ito have from 5000 to 10000
birds in stock at time, and the cal
culatiOn of a wholesaler, working on
such an enormous scale, is that it
costs him l cent a week for a single
birds food But that is something
very different from the cost borne by
the people who keep canaries as pets.
The bird seed, sold in one-pound
packages, retails at / 0 cents pound ;
and while a bird will not eat twenty
FIVE pounds in a year even in the
most wasteful household, it will con
sumo the direct retail cost of the seed
$40 a year instead of $3.50.
But the seed is not all. Some
five or six packages of bird gravel
at cents package, are an indis-
pensable item, as is at least one cut
tlebone, which costs cents.
Those two adjuncts to the diet
airy, although they afford no nutri-
ment, are as essential for the bird
as knives, forks, and spoons are for

TESTED FAITH AND is DYING.
Christian Scientist Threw Himself in
Front of Street Car.

Front of Street Car.
In New Orleans the other day a
young man hurled himself under a
street car by way of proving his faith
in Christian Science. At last ac-
counts he was still alive, which may
be point in favor of the cult. But
then the doctors declared that he was
so badly battered and broken up that
he couldn't possibly live, which may
prove to be point against the
science. Leaders of the faith de-
clared that the young fellow was
actuated by 'misdirected energy"
which of course absolves them from
responsibility for his error, if he
made one.
