Two Hours More Sunshine

During the growing season the
daylight here is sixteen hours
two hours more of sunshine than
in your own state. So the wheat
grows faster and larger than al
most anywhere else.
The reason for this is simple.
The curvature of the earth at this
point produces an earlier sunrise
and a later sunset. 1t adds two
hours to the working day of every
growing plant. :
This additional sunshine means
additional money to the farmer.
Yet it is only one of the many i'm
portant advantages which Nature
has bestowed upon this wonderful
region of Canada.

To the Honorable County Court OF
Marion County:
Your petitioners, whose names are
signed hereto, being citizens and for
the most part taxpayers of Marion
county. respectfully request your
honors to appropriate from the mon
eys at your disposal funds sufficient
to complete the road now being built
from the Elkhorn postofIice to the
junction of Gold creek and the Little
North Fork OF the Santlam.
Your petitioners believe that no
one public highway will contribute
more to the industrial prosperity OF
Marion county than this road.
For many years the great min
eral wealth lying in this Gold Creek
Santiam district has been matter
OF common knowledge. Hundreds OF
our citizens and taxpayers of this
county are Interested in the score
of mines which will be made accessi-
Bile by the completion of this road
Contracts have been entered into
by responsible parties for the erec-
ton OF a large custom smelter at
Gold creek so soon as the mines OF
the district are In condition to de-
liver the one hundred tons OF ore
per day.
The opening up OF this district
for mining enterprises; the taking
ouJ OF patents on the mining claims;
the erection of the smelter, and the
many proposed reduction works OF
various kinds will add more than
sI.OOO,O 600 10 the taxable values OF
Marion county As the properties
lie In the government reserve thy
cannot now be taxed 10 the benefit
OF the county.
During the past two years II is
estimated that private parties in
terested In the district have spent
some $4,000 in building this road.
The perversion OF the funds from the
purposes of developing the mines OF
the district 10 the building OF the
road. which is a great benefit to the
county as a whole, and properly a
public enterprise, has delayed and
will continue to delay the great min
eral development of the district.
Your petitioners respectfully urge
the county court 20 undertake the
completion of this road, some p
miles more only, and 70 take such
steps and make such orders as your
honorable court deems best for the
economical administration OF the
funds appropriated by you.
1T is estimated that some $4,000
or $4,000 will complete the road TO
Gold creek, but the amount neees-
sary your honors can better deter
mine upon investigation.

Traveller Bound for Hastings, Neb.,

One railroad, the Burlington, leads from

At the train the porter asked him where

That same evening Sedlika came into
Omaha from the east. He had discovered
his mistake when the conductor asked him
for his ticket and had stopped off at
Pacific Junction.
Sedlika is not the first man who has
gone wrong on the same kin of a deal.
In the morning at the Burlington there
are two trains which leave the depot on
about the same time. One goes west to
Hastings, Neb., and the other goes east
across the river into Iowa to Hastings, that
state and other points. often travellers will
ask which is the train for Hastings and
get the one to the Nebraska town when
they want to go to the Iowa town, or vice

Niagara Suicides Provoke an Inter-

FFNhs
An international episode has arisen TO-
garding the burial of Niagara falls sui

provincial Parliament. The trouble is over
the question who shall pay for the funeral
expenses of the river victims. About $500
a year is involved.
About ninety-nine OF every 100 bodies find
their way to the Maid of the Mist land
ing or to the whirlpool, both on the Cana
dian side. The Queen Victoria park COM
mission, controlling the river front from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. has hitherto
assumed responsibility for bringing bodies
to the top Of the bank, paying from $50 to
$50 for each body, and has buried the vic
tins In Fairview cemetery, having a sep
arate grave for each one.
So many bodies have recently been taken
from the river on the Canadian side and
from the whirlpool that the park commits
sion has been moved to object to the I'M
dertakers' bills
Saying that almost ell the suicides go in
on the American side, the Canadian COM
missioners appealed to the American park
commissioners to help pay expenses OF
their burial. The Americans refused. The
Canadian commissioners now have decided
that bodies shall be buried where they are
found.-New York Tribune.

Thomas Griffin, a weil-to-do teaming con-

sisters, all married to prosperous men, to
corroborate the story Of abuse and neglect
related against his father.
The old father knew none OF them, and
when Judge Williams instructed him TO
pick out his son and three daughters who
he said ought to support him now he was
unable to do so. He indicated Bailiff Gus

ANIMAL FOES OF MANKIND
Snakes Rank First In Statistics as
Our Most Formidable
Enemy.

When a famous Nimrod goes from the
White House to the wilds of Africa to
hunt beasts, large and small, a keen and
wide interest is aroused among millions
of people by stories of the attacks made,
now and then, upon human victims by
predatory creatures of the forests and the
plains. For grown-ups, as well as boys
and girls, there is a peculiar thrill in tales
Of the stalking OF men and women by
great cats. In some degree It may be an
instructive fear of carnivorous beasts which
has come down from the far-off ages
when in Europe, as well as Africa and
Asia, man had to fight for his life against
his many foes of the wilderness.
Even now the wild creatures Of the Jun
giles, the mountains and the plains take
a considerable toll OF human life. At least
$1,000 people perish every year in India
from the bites of snakes and the teeth and
claws of tigers, leopards. wolves and other
beasts of prey. That means about four
times the total mortality In Cleveland. II
