Your great grandma would have one
surprise after another, if she visited
one Of our large stores to-day and saw
the many things now ready which
she had to toll ovdr at home for hours
and hours. The new comforts would
surely interest her. To think that you
can now get one ready-made that is
far warmer and lighter than the best
she ever made at home is really remark
able. But such is the case, and these
comforts are shown right here in our
own town. They are called the Maish

be charged entirely or even chiefly to
the private owners of the timber lands,
far from it. Those people invested
their capital as a business proposition
with a view to receiving the best re-
turns from their investments. Under
ordinary circumstances the purchaser
of timber must realize promptly upon
his investment, for his money can be
made more productive in other chan
nels than by putting it into forest
lands with the expectation of restrict
ing his revenue to an amount proper
tional to the slow growth of forest
trees. Hence a timber owner is
commonly temporary investor, he
cuts his timber as fast as possible and
then looks elsewhere to reinvest his
funds. With different conditions and
circumstances affecting his business he
could we'll afford to treat his timber
holding as permanent investment,
the returns from which, while at the
moment relatively small, would be
steady and lasting. The Nation and
States may manage their forest hold
ing in a way to make them uniform
and permanent timber producers and
still conserve their forest potentially
much more easily than private own
err for several reasons. Neither the
state nor the nation need have profit
as primary object, its forests may be
of vast economic value to the public
as conseryators of water supply and re-
gulatorS of stream flow independently
OF timber production, and instead OF
yielding revenue directly to the treas
ury through the sale of timber, may
indirectly greatly augment the treasury
funds through enchancing the value oil
private property whose contributions
constitute the public funds. But mos,
Of all, the Nation and the State are
exempt from taxation and in the hand
ling of their timber lands do not have
to include this item when figuring ou
their schemes of forest management
This item is often the determinsne
factor when the private holder is solv.
ing the problem of how best to con.
duct his timber business.

A considerable portion of the false
work of the Kamiah bridge was car
RED away last week by the high water.
Fortunately for the contractors, VINO
are said to be local parties, the lost
portions were under insurance.
The second span of the new bridge
at Lewiston, extending from the main
land to the baseball park on Holbrook
island in the Clearwater river, was
carried away last Friday by the high
water, and the third span is likely to
go at any time. Engineer Darwin OF
the Lewiston-Waha company, who
was standing on the span at the time
it was wrecked, directing some work
men, was precipitated into the river,
and narrowly escaped, as did two o.

AGED VIRGINIA NAN
IS KILLED BY TRAIN
Walking TO Overcome In
Somnia, Struck Some Time
During Night.

Attempting &c induce sleep by
walking. William Metzger, eighty
years old, a well-known farmer of
Occoquan, Va, u sufferer from in
sOmnia-, was struck by a train near
his home, and killed. His mangled
body was found By farm hands at
daybreak yesterday morning.
It is believed that Metzger in his
wanderings attempted to cross the
track, not noticing the approach Of
the train. Apparently, neitheC the
engineer nor fireman knew of the
accident, and the train went by, the
wheels completely severing the aged
mans right arm and leg.
He retired at 8 o'clock, but. being
unable to sleep, arose at IL o'clock
and told his wife he intended to take
a walk. At o'clock he had not re-
turned, and Mrs. Metzger became
for his safety. The men on
the farm were aroused and sent out
to look for him
It was daybreak before the body
was discovered. The arm and leg
were several yards from the rest OF
the body, which had been hurled from
the track A coroner's jury returned
a verdict of accidental death.
Besides his wife, Metzger is surviv-
ed by one son. His body has been sent
to Muncey, MINI, for burial.
