The undesIrahlllty Of much land In
the semIarid belt Of western states Is
possibly due In some measure TO the
bad reputation which such lnnds have
been given by men who wished TO

bias has taken the extreme form Of
positive encouragement and even In.
timldation Of settlers who 80 much as

the idea that they might prove useful

to advantage for anything but pastoral

EXTRAVAGANZA is NATIONAL DISEASE
Senator Borah Says Permeaes the Home, College anc
Church, Invades Society, Is Rife in Government.

WASHINGTON.-Senator Borah,
in a speech on the tariff today, said
extravaganza had become a national
disease.
For hundred years we have
been making speeches in favor of cut
ting down expenses and voting the
other way" he said.
THE congress in which the voice
of retrenchment was loudest has been
followed almost invariably by the
congress carrying the largest appro-
priations. We knew when we met
here last fall that a deficit was star
ing us in the face; we knew there
was a cry all over the land that the
consumer be given relief; we knew
that in time of profound peace we
were seriously considering putting
more taxes on those necessaries of
life which we do not produce at

home. If there ever was an hour or
an occasion when the voice of re-
trenchment ought to have been heard
and needed it was when we met last
December. We have appropriated
$5O,O00,000 which we could have
left in the treasury without embar-
RAISING the government one particle.
If that be true, and l believe the
figures to be modest, what an awful
indictment of this congress, and how
vain and futile seems all prophecy
as to the future in the matter of re-
trenchment.
Extravaganza has become almost
a national disease. 1t permeates the
home; it permeates college and
church; it pervades society and it is
rife in every department of govern
ment That it has reached almost
the point of criminality is proven by
the words of the senator from Rhode
Island"

FATAL FIGHT IN LEE JAIL
Officer Entered Cell to Take Prisoner

Eley Holmes, a desperate negro
prisoner in the Lee county Jail at
Leesburg, was shot to death Wednes-
day afternoon in a hand to hand
fight with Deputy Sheriff H. D. Lo-
gan in dark cell in the Jail, a fight
in which the loser could not leave
the cell alive.
Both men realized this, according
to Deputy Logan, and when his
chance came he killed the negro
He had entered Holmes cell and
the negro attacked him with a stool
before the latter could draw his pis-
toll.
Then fight began for it's possess
sion, which ended when Deputy Lo-
gan fired and the negro dropped to
the cell floor dead. The officer was
eXonerated.
Logan went to the Jail to carry
Holmes, who had just been indicted
by the grand jury, before the court
for trial. He was the negro who
jumped on a Central railroad en-
CINE in Smithville sometime ago,
pulled open the throttle and ran off

A Serious Situation That Dynamite
Was Called ON to Relieve.
Never before did the Niagara river
between the Falls and Lake Ontari }
present such a problem or create
such havoc as last week. Clicked
with ice for 10 or IL miles the river
did enormous damage, and threat
ened to bring about a disaster calam-
itous in its extent The electric road
which runs through the gorge was
practically destroyed, the ice in
places piling from Is to 20 feet high.
Farther down the river the immense
jam was estimated to be fully so feet
thick
Thursday of last week the state,
which was appealed to for aid by
those whose property was imperiled,
sent it's agents to dynamite the mass
and endeavOr to open a channel
Many hundreds of pounds of dyna-
mite were exploded, and by the fol-
lowing day the situation was greatly
relieved. Subsequently favoring
gales aided in cracking the huge
mass of ice, and a channel was
opened all the way from the falls to
Lake Ontario.

MOTHERS DAY NOT IN FAVOR
Too Sacred Is This Bond for Public
Observance, Declare PrOmi-
nent Georgians.

|
Last Sunday was Mothers Day"
and was observed by many places
throughout the country, and by some
here in Dawson.
The idea observing Mothers Day
by testimonials and public services,
however, does not meet with APPROX
al by many well known and promi-
nent men, among them Judge Samuel
B. Adams and Mr.. Otis Ashmore, the
superintendent of public schools in
Savannah.
To my mind" said Judge Adams
to the Savannah News, "the family
relations are SO sacred that it is most
inappropriate to make public
demonstration of anything so holy
as the reverence, love and respect
that one bears for his mother. The
Idea appeals to me as wholly inap-
propriate. 1t is all very well to make
a public observance of the birthday
or the death of a public character
but to make a demonstration of the
afection for ones mother is some
thlng that | wholly disapprove."
Prof. Ashmore spoke on the same
line. Every day should be mothers
day with all of us" he said, "and
1t isn't necessary to have public
day set aside for doing reverence to
our mothers. 1t is a beautiful senti-
ment, and the public observance Of
the day might develop interesting
and beautiful exercises, but it is not
needed.
We are in no need of having i'm
pressed upon us the goodness Of our
mothers and the important place that
they fill in the world. Every true
man and woman thinks of the mother
every day of their lives. The love
for ones mother lives when other
directions fade and die; it is the star
that shines with undated lustre
through the trials and vicissitudes
OF life always, The tribute to moth
erhood is present in every mans
heart, though unexpressed it may
be: | can see nothing that can be
gained or added to the devotion al
ready enshrined in our hearts by a
puDHc day set apart for such devo-
tons"

A "CORKING" PLACE.
Picturesque Spanish Village Where
''BOttle Shoppers" Are Made.

N'H"O spanish bIIlaSe Mnefo
Bottle Shoppers" Are Made.
TO the occasional tourist the queer
little town Of San Feliu de GuixoIs.
in northeastern Spain, seems at first
to be constantly enjoying a siesta,
but behind its apparent inactivity
and the sleepy life of Spanish pro-
Vincial town there fourishes a great
and useful industry, the manufacture
of corks for the bottles of the world.
Twelve hundred persons or more,
mostly women, are employed in the
90 or 90 factories of the place cut
ting corkS out of the bark of the
cork oak, which grows in the Medi-
terranean region, and is also brought
into San Feliu from various parts of
Spain and Portugal More corks are
cut in this village than anywhere
else in Spain, and it is said that
100000 people earn their living
through this industry in the Province
of Corona alone.
The best cork wood in the world
is grown in Catalonia, and a trick
of the trade is to ship cork wood
from OpOrto, Portugal, to Spain and
send it out again as Spanish cork,
which brings higher price than the
Portuguese product. The cork oak
tree grows to a height of 20 to
40 feet and is often Is feet in cir
conference. 1t yields crops for $50
years, and often lives from 500 to
400 years. The bark grows in
.spongy layers which are constantly
being newly formed.

Lawmakers Seek to Prohibit Its Sale

A Tallahassee dispatch says: An
effort was made in the house of rep
.resentatives late yesterday to amend
bill prohibiting the sale or giving
away of certain narcotics so as to
include coca cola, whereupon live
ly skirmish followed but the hour
already set for adjournment was
reached before a vote was taken A
test vote, however, came when a mo-
ton to lay the amendment on the
table was defeated.
Representative Stokes of Escambia
county offered the amendment, de-
claring that there are more coca
cola fiends than any other kind OF
dope fiends. Representative Miller
said he knew of persons who had
become mentally deranged through
the use of this drink.
