between the two could be considered trustworthy,
owing 10 the different conditions under which the
mills, scattered ali the country operate, and
also TO their difference Of environments
It YVES sought TO be shown that in this, the larg-
est paper ma king state in the Union, the work
ers receive less than any other class OF organzeo
labor; but the report cited In evidence does not
bear out the charge, for while there are tWenty-
two groups of wage earners that are more nlSnly
paid. there are sixteen that get lower wages ana
the advantage in the favor OF the first number or
is easily accounted for by the fact that they
represent the highly skilled trades That organ

satisfied with its treatment, was evidenced by the
testimony of several Of its leaders before the Select

It goes without saying that labor could not re-
ceive the constant advance in wage. and could nor
give the equally constant decrease of its equivalent
its time without. In the same ratio becoming an
Increasing factor IN the cost Of production; and
one has only to study the right hand column OF

of increase in wages TO guess that, II the other
costs of production have increased in anywhere

they may have been by the progress OF invention

AN lMPENETRABLE HEDGE.

The hedges which ordinarily see bordering
country estates planted for their ornamental
and beautifying effect. and not substitute for
fencing material. but in the extreme southwestern
part of the United States. there many hedges
which serve primarily this latter purpose Various
species of cacti such the pricklY pear. are
used by ranchmen to inclose cattle ranges In those
arid regions, and these hedges practically i'm
penetrable Wild animals are thus tffectually pre-
vented from attacking the herds and hocks, and
"a supply OF fodder may always be obtained by
burning OF the spines from the tender young
shoots of the cactus.
Remains of hedges fifteen feet In height are to
be seen near the locations of the old missions in
Southern California, where they served as
fortications to protect the little settlements In
stead of fences the Mexcans use what is known
as the organ cactus. When stakes of this plant
are set in the earth they readily take root, and
soon present formidable barrier OF thorns.-Har-
pers Weekly.
