PRICE REDUCING.

There has been such cool atmo- sphere and such reduced demand for ice this season on account of the trust prices, that to save their faces the city icemen have decided that a bar gain price is winning price even so late as this in the season. This shows that the icemen are getting wise that they know how to increase the demand. A letter addressed to the editor of The Bulletin called attention to the New York break in prices; and the Newark, N. J., News has this to say. of the second reduction in price of ice in that city:
 Another cut in the price of ice goes into effect today (Tuesday). It is at one and the same time a good thing for the consumer and a bad thing for certain wholesalers. It puts ice within reach of the poor and 1t is an indictment of those wholesalers who kept the price up until they were forced by competition to put it down. To the average citizen it must seem as fl this whole business would bear in- vestigation. If ice can now be sold at q profit at the rate of $3.5O ton, why could it not have been sold at less than s6 ton in the early part of the season or at least month ago [? M "Of course the answer to this from the wholesalers Is easily anticipated They will say, no doubt, that cool weather and economy on the part of the consumer in the use of ice has left a price-reducing supply on their hands That may or may not be true. If it is true it reduces the matter to simple question of supply and de- mand. That this may apply, and does apply, to natural ice no one will deny. but how it can be made to fit the manufacture and sale of artificial ice the consumer, in the light of the avail able information on the subject, will find it hard to understand. It must also seem to the most minimizing in- dividual that if this ice can be sold now, with fair measure of profit. at S3.50 or $4 ton, there never was any good and honest reason for making the price $6"
 There is nothing the matter with this logic from the consumers point of view; and the action of these ice men shows that they realize that large sales and small proftsp are as good for an ice cart as dry, goods store.

Tn a speech at New Haven Oct. 23 last George L. Lilley, then nominee of his party for governor, gave ex- pression to the following vigorous sen = tences, which are singularly forceful in view of the ugly charges that are rife concerning the source of the op- position to the bill that provides for a public utilities measure that will su- pervise. The Times prints the remarks of the late governor as reported by the Hartford Courant:

wHIskEY Ar TIE WHEEL.

 The fact that half drunken men at the wheel has been the cause of a large per cent. of the accidents to the careful drivers of automobiles and the cause of an equally large per cent. of valuable lives is not made apparent enough, or taken sufficient oognizance of by the law, or the authorities. The man who has not too much sense to fill up with intoxicants as a prepara- tion for pleasure on an automobile trip has not a sufficient realization of the
 responsibility he is assuming to ever be allowed to run a motor carriage; and if he owns it and does not know that excessive liquor drinking increas- es the peril on the road as it decreases
 his own ability to conduct the auto mobile in a sane and safe way, he
 should be debarred by law from hav-
 ing charge of such motor upon the
 public highways of the state.
 These offenders are the ones who
 flee and leaysA their victims dying in
 the streets. When they can; who will
 neither make Preparation nor disclose
 their identity when so crippled that
 they cannot get away. In fact, they are the men who bring scandal upon automobilists everywhere by their conduct and create public prejudices and cause regulations which are an annoyance to decent. careful and re- sponsible drivers in. many states.
 It Is somewhat surprising that the makers of law do not by special pro- visions drive this class of chauffeurs and owners entirely out os business. Not only tue safety of the public re- quires it. but the well-being of the men themselves makes it absolutely necessary that they should be restrain ed from their drunken and wild au- torhobile career. The joy rider is too often a death dealer.

 She thought to herself:
 Into each life some rain must fall. Thine is the common fate of all One day grandma was called to re- ceive a tall, dark Mexican. He was commissioned to deliver some papers and a dying mans message. They had a long conversation in the parlor, and when the stranger had gone, grand ma was in tears.

The little eager face was all attention. Grandma turned her head away.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Things to Keep in Mind.

The things to keep in mind are that the people of Connecticut asked a cer- tain thing. that the political managers of the legislature determined to refuse it and give something else under a like name. and that at the last the effort resulted in such a legislative scandal as has not. been known for many years.
 The late Colonel Pope was proud of his triumph over his early handicaps and proud of the great business he built up. But he was proudest of all of having commanded Ft. Hell at Pet ersburg and of having led a regiment into that city when he was but 21 years old.

The Sunday bill as 1t passed the sen- ate was a characteristic action and product of that very remarkable legis- lative body. Nobody knows what the bill really means. It is marvel of un- certainty for its size. But it is the readiness and anxiety of the senate to shift the responsibility to the towns that calls for comment. When it comes to such matters as charters and choos- ing local judges and other decidedly important to a community this same senate curtly refuses to permit them any freedom of action. Along comes a matter that places the senators in a position where they must take posi- tive action, along with much criticism,

It is the there" spirit of these men that has made them the ablest army the world has ever known. The end of the war was not the end of their achievements. At this day, near ly fifty years after the civil wars end, 1t is an open question whether the grandest achievements of these vet erans were in the field or in civic life. They came from war in triumph and entered civil life as no army ever did before: and as an organization their song has been for more than four dec ades, My Country, Iris of Thee!" The betterment of citizenship, the better ment of their country. has been their prayer and pride and purpose, and the lessons of charity and patriotism they have taught are no less significant than the victories they won. There is only one army that can excel this the army which can inaugurate, en- force and perpetuate peace among the nations of the earth.

AN ECONOMIC USE OF COATS.

The brush eating instinct of the Angora goat is being successfully demonstrated on the Lassen National forest in California, where they are cutting trails for fire guards through the brushy areas on the slopes of the mountains.
 The animals. which number 5000. have been divided into two bands and under the care of the herders are graz ed within certain well defined areas so that their work may be concentrated on the brush within those limits The result is that they have practically killed nearly all the brush in the course. either by eating it up entirely or by barking. as in the case of the heavy manzanita bushes. At the be- ginning of the experiment there was some doubt as to the goats willing ness to eat the manzanita, but it has been found that where there is little else they will just as readily attack it as any other bushes.
 The grazing season was so late this year on the Lassen forest that the goats did not begin operations until about the middle of June, but since then they have made rapid progress and the result promises to be a sue cess from every point of view. The trails will first be opened and then kept free of sprouts by the goats, saw ing the government considerable labor in cutting them out by hand, as has been done heretofore, while the brushy forage which otherwise would have been wasted will support 5000 goats very comfortably.

My little boy had an awful rash all over his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible and used to water awfully. Any place the water went it would form another sore and it would become crusted. A score or more phy- sicians failed utterly and dismally in their efforts to remove the trouble. Then I was told to use the Cuticura, Remedies. I got & 2 cake e; of Cnticurs a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before we had used half the ResoIvent I could see a change in him.

A Family Scrap.

The Hon. Taylor Flynn, plumber and politician, and the popular Hump O'Connor are about to part political company. So says the rumor factory, so busy these warm summer days, and nights Can it be so that the redoubt- able Taylor has again cast his lot with the willy ex-mayor, whose scalp he has so naively sought in times gone by? Alas, too true, says the rumor factory. How has this been brought about2 Dear old Dame Gossip says the sooth- ing balm administered through the new democratic reform club is to blame. There must have been some powerful hypnotic influence exerted to bring about this state of affairs if it is all true. The Flynn family party on land and the O'Connor houseboat party on the river seems to lend credence to the tale-Middletown Sun.

engineer for the c. E. Burrows Lum-
Der company, who was supposed to
have been drowned in Campbell's
slough, was found yesterday alive
and unhurt, but half starved and
weak from hunger, in the woods a
short distance from the slough which
searchers for Longs body have been
dragging for the past two days.
Long was out hunting in company
with friends in the woods along the
Humptulips river. He returned to
camp before the others, and later in
preparing to build fire, took his
lantern and walked in the direction
of logging camp near by. He lost
his way and his associates believed
that he had tumbled into the slough.

hammer was on Friday the victim of
a very serious accident. In company
with E. Knouse and L. Shading, he
was on coon hunt, and while rest

calibre bullet crashed through both
legs. 1t is the general supOsition
that the gun which was carried
half cooked was discharged by the
trigger being caught in Knouse's
clothing.
