GOAL DISCOVERIES
WHILE DRILLING
" WELL

The South Tacoma wells may
be abandoned yet and the whole
plant, down there turned Into a
coal mine.
Well Driller McSwain yester-
day, in going down in one of the
old wells, struck a new formation.
He passed first through petrified
wood and then ran into strata of
good coal.
There was not enough Of the
coal, apparently 10 make mining
profitable, but, now that a starter
has been made, there is no telling
what may be discovered. The
coal was struck at depth OF
about 200 feet.
The deep" we'll, which the city
is digging for artesian water, Is
now down about 500 feet. 1t Is
not proving the easy job the con-
tractors thought. Yesterday the
contractors broke their machinery
and had to lay off for while for
repairs.

ENTHUSIASM AND FAT

These two, like oil and water,
mix poorly. This does not imply
fat men and women never get en-
thusiastic. They do down deep in
side. But what does it amount
to? Their fat doesn't get excited.
They can't transmute their enthus-
iasm into energetic action, SO they
might as well keep calm.
Thus it is that fat people gener-
ate much steam for life's work,
only to find the load too much
for the horsepower, and as a re-
suit thousands of both sexes get
just so far and no further. Much
they care" says the initiated slim
one. But they do care. They care
keenly for financial, mental, So
cial, business, fall hunting,
straight-front and comfort rea-
sons, and that is why Marmola
Prescription Tablets have been SO
heartily welcomed by the over
weight classes. The reason Is not
far to seek. Marmola Prescrip-
ton Tablets take off a pound a
day, in most cases, without inter-
fering in any way with the takers
table tendencies or his love of
ease. To some, possibly, their alb
solute economy appeals. Thus one
large case costing seventy-five
cents at any drug store or of the
makers, The Marmola Company,
Detroit, Mich, direct, is said In it
selft alone to contain enough tab
lets to make decided change in
any one.
But these are merely surface
reasons. Marmola checks the for
nation of fat by curing the fat
forming tendency. The fat just
slips away, as it were, without a
sign of wrinkle. Thus the work
these tablets do is not injurious.
1t is natural. That is the real rea-
son these tablets are SO much APP
preciated. They are safe.-Adv.

He found they were running that
way when he came in and the or

How the County Grows.

Significant straws, showing how
amazingly St. Louis county is
growing, and particularly how it's
idle acres arr. being settled, are in
the figures of the annual report of
the county superintendent of
schools. During the year thirty
six new schools were built, costing
a,431. The county employs sev-
enty. nine more teachers than it did
the year before, and the number of
pupils is correspondingly in
creased. These figures show very
gratifying growth, and this is in
teresting when coupled with the
reflection that St. Louis county in.
cludes some of the finest schools
and school systems in the state
which means as good as there are
in the country.-Herald.

THE various reports by the coun-

numerous districts and municipal

not tended to make him many
friends among the ofhce-holders,
while at the same time his work
is not of nature, we believe, which
tends to make him an object of
envy by the taxpayer.

In justice to the schools of Vir.
ginia, Minn., not one; feature in
their exhibit at the state fair should
be omitted in this mention, for
everything was of superlative ex-
cellence. Notice can here be given
to but very few points.
The exhibit consisted of actual
work-every day work-done by
pupils from kindergarten to, aud
including, high school. Mr.. Lafay-
cite Bliss, the superintendent, be-
lieves in making the kindergarten
preparatory to the grades, and 80
something of writing language,
number, etc., is introduced into the
latter part of the kinderga rten
course. The Result is shown in the
penmanship and figures made by
the little onea.
The maps made by pupils in the
different grades as aids in geo
graphy and history are most re.
markable. In the first place they
are made free hand and their neat
ness and accuracy are most com
mendable. There were many relief
maps made of various materials.
The exhibit, which is the only
one at the fair showing actual
school work, was very comprehen-
sive. including work in language,
geoG raphy, history, mathematics,
penrnanship, drawing, manual
training, the sciences, and every
school subject capable of material
expression; and it is not too much
to say that it all evidenced faithful.
intelligent aud thorough work on
the part of superintendent,t teachers
and pupils.
Some high school note books in
botany, political economy, and
commercial law were especially
good. The mechanical drawings,
which showed marvellous accurrcy
and skill, emphasize, in a special
way, the mining industry of the
locality in which the schools are
found.
The wood work and other pro.
ducts of industrial training ie
worthy of highest praise. In fact
it was frequently remarked by vis-
itors that this work was not ex-
celled by any school in the states.
Manual training is given in all
grades.
A remarkable and very praise.
worthy characteristic of Superin-
tendent Bliss's management of the
Virginia schools is that all pupils,
instead of a chosen few, receive
training in athletics, debate, ora.
tory, etc.
Very creditable sewing from the
fourth and fifth grades showed the
useful character of domestic science
teaching. Cooking is taught in the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
An attractive display was that OF
the costumes used by the pupils in
the production OF Midsummer
Nights Dream They were made
by pupils, (under the direction OF
Mrs. Lafayette Biiss) out of bits OF
tin, cheesecloth drapery, etc. The
expense was thus almost nothing
and no pupils we're excluded for
lack of means.
The exhibit, which was systemat.
ically and tastefully arranged by
Mrs. Bliss, was simply marvellous
1t revealed the fact that "away IN
north on the "Range'," things are
being done, educationally, aud that
the older cities must look after their
laurels in school matters.-School

Congress is the biggest machine in
the United States. 1t constructs laws
with which the judiciary overrdes lts
power and combines the Will Ot the ma
iority. A great machine is congress.
1t has ground out many impertectons
and measures to the discredlt OF the Ea-
tion, to the humiliation and loss OF the
people. Hare is a sample:
Congress has not donated single
cent from the national treasury towards
the construction of the public roads in
the United States. 1t las donated about
2,OOe ,OOO acres of the public domain to
three corporations, for the construction
of abouv loco miles Of so-caled military
roads through Eastern Oregon and
Idaho. 1t is said these corporations un-
der this grant constructed roads which
were nothing better than trails, and
that the several counties have since
made them wagon roads and maintained
them by taxes levied on the farming
community. The fathers of the constitution
lived before the railroad age had come
in. This arterial system Of transporta
ton was not in their minds nor in then
dreams when they framed section .
During the past 40years congress ha'
donated 800 900, 600 acres OF the public
domain to five trans continental raiIroaf
