THE POSTCARD CROP.

All the violets have faded,
other flowers have passed away:
For the summer leaf has shaded
spots where sunbeams used to play.
But the tourist tribe, light-hearted,
Forth on various ways set sail,
And the postcard crop, once started,
Never has been known to fail
Pictures Of the torrid tropics,
Chances at a northern shore,
Side lights on a thousand topics
Lightly fiutter to your door.

Ihey are just bright bouquet

OF the friendships far away.

The German plan for fight to the
pole with a rigid airship of the Zeppelin
type contempiates exploratory flights in
the Arctic air before grand swoop is
made upon the pole. 1t differs from tue
Wellman plan in this, and also in the
fact that the airship will be rigid, and
therefore easier to drive through the air.
When Wellman announced that he
would renew his efforts to reach the
pole by the aerial route it was expected
that he would adopt the rigid plan; but
he seems to be clinging to his ship of
the old pattern, whose inferiority has
been demonstrated by Count Zeppelin's
remarkable performances in comparison
with anything that had heretofore been
done by the elongated gas bag driven by
engines.

President Taft seems to have plenty
of influence with the present admins
tration of the White House. He has
pronounced for retrenehment of ex-
penditures in all the departments of the
government, and Mrs. Taft has de-
clared that she cherishes no desire to fol-
low the precedent of purchasing special
chinaware to go down in history as the
Taft set, but is able and willing to get
along with the dishes already provided.

The statement from Semmering that
physicians have advised Mr.. Hartman
that he must eat plenty of cereals, milk,
and meat, and drink malt beer, shows
that one completes gastronomic cycle
in amassing millions and approaching
retirement as a result of financial sue
cess. There may be comfort in this for
those who aspire to live like retired mil
lionares despite the absence of bank
accounts or holdings that occupy safety

The little farmers of the public schools
of New York, who were encouraged on
Arbor Day to try their skill in garden
ing have made an exhibit of their crops

Their achievements are remarkable for

a recreational and at the same time use

and school children throughout the land.

The fact that the wireless equipment
of the Royal Mail Steamship Com
of commission by a stroke of lightning
will make many travellers fear that the
masts of the wireless telegraph outfits
are standing invitations to trouble. But
the masts of the average steamer of the
present are made of STEEL and the ships
themselves are of that metal, and taking
everything into account there is no
danger in rearing another projection
above the decks, even though it be of
steel. The bolt which found it's way
down the mast of the Magdalena did
nothing more than temporarily disable
the apparatus; it caused no injury to the
ship.

The German company which is build
ing nOn-rigid dirigible balloon with a
lifting capacity of fifty-four persons has
evidently not been frightened by the fate
of the big non-rigid California dirigible
which broke under the weight of large
load of passengers and dropped them to
the earth. Unless the weights beneath a
non-rigid airship are carefully adjusted
the strains are apt to be dangerous to
the envelope when the ship is driven
through the air by her propellers.

The friends of Commander Peary
having INDUCED in a little harmless
Boosting of this kind. the admirers of
DIR. Frederick A. Cook, the missing Are

that the Doctor has succeeded in reach

west coast of Greenland awaiting trans
portation back to civilization. This is all
pure surmise. There is a possibility in
both cases, and the further chance that
DIR. Cook may come south with Peary

A Halifax dispatch states that the
sealing industry in the South Atlantic is
Improbable, and will probably be dis
continued. The trip is too long to make
returns sure, and there are many
dangers from storms and from icebergs.
The probability is that the hunters have
so thinned out the seals that good
catches are no longer possible. Whalers
and sealers have never baked in the
face of long and dangerous voyages.
They have accepted what was before
them, and endeavored to bring back good
catches" despite all the perils.

COLD CREATES TEMPLE
IN DISTANT GREENLAND
Members of Erichsen Expedi-
tion Awed by It's Grandeur

Amid the bleak, Icy deserts of Green
land the survivors of the recent III
fated Erichsen expedition discovered a
sight of majesty that solaced them for
months of darkness, tedium and suf
fering, says the Buffalo News. They
found crystal palace of superhuman
architecture. vaster than dozen cathe-
drals and Egyptian temples, resplend-
ent with jewels and endless decorations
of ice. Created by nature in "a forbidden
wilderness. it frightened the eyes of
the explorers and awed them with
unimagined magif1cence.
The dreams of poets and the fancies
of epic bards were surpassed by this
vision of colossal loneliness which the
painter, Achton Friis, a member of the
expedition, endeavored to carry awav

through which the glancing sun rays
sparkled on columns and cubes and

and diamonds, suffused the lighter
spaces and shaded into blush twilight
which reigned in solemn transepfs.
The painter despaired of comprehend
ing even the elusive colors that en-
anated from every surface and were
infinitely touched by combination and

A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

If the Inland Empire had terminal
rates its freight bill on merchandise
shipped from the east would be cut
down 100000 year, says the
years the people of the Inland Empire
have paid out, at conservative calcu-
lation. $4,000, 600 in excessive rates on
shipments from the east alone.
If it should cost Spokane 100000 to
carry to successful completion its fight
before the interstate commerce COM
mission the cost would be but a frac-
ton of what this city pays every year
in excessive freight rates.
But the sums actually paid in excess
of reasonable charges are only small
part of the real cost of unjust rates
levied upon this city and the sur
rounding country. Discrimination in
favor of. the Coast cities throttles
business in the interior, makes slow
growth for the ,country's industries
and prohibits in a large measure the
building up of manufacturing.
In the course of the last 10 years
hundreds of manufacturers who con-
templated the building of plants in the
Pacific northwest have come into the
Inland Empire and found the field in
viting.- but, when their investigation
showed that freight rates were burd-
ensome, went. on to the Coast and To-
Gated there.
Railroad Discrimination, and nothing
else, has put thirds of the popu-
