W. G. Stockton, chief of the Wells
Fargo Company. with headquarters
at New York City. arrived in this
city this morning. He is here to
fight the taxation imposed upon
the corporation by the state board
of assessors. At the last meeting
of the board Wells Fargo was taxed
upon its earnings and not on its
personal property alone. The big
corporation, which has made every
individual in the state dig up for
half a century, is getting a dose
of its own medicine. 1t is to be
hoped that the assessment stands
and that some law can be fixed that
will make this octopus give up
some more coin of the realm.
Fargo certainly has a cinch on the
peoples purse.-Appeal.

THE FIRST W|NDMILLS

Windmills are said to have been
introduced INTO England by the
knights of st. John, who observed
them in use among the Saracens in
the Crusades, but how long they
have been in existence before this
1t is not possible to ascertain. A
water mill was built in Bohemia in
the year 718, for an old chronicler
mentions, it going on to say that
before that time all the mills in
Bohemia were windmills set upon
the summit Of hills"
For hundreds of years wind
mills were among the most import
ant adjuncts of industry. yet they
hardly changed from the rude and
primitive design of earliest days.
They were fixed in one position and
so could only be worked when the
wind blew from a certain quarter,
while the four sails boosted on
Stats or checking apparatus of any
kind. which must have been most
inconvenient at time.
The first idea of arranging a
mill so hat il could be worked
whene'er the wind did blow" was
that of lettering an ordinary mill
in the middle of a pond by means
of ropes. When the wind shifted
the ropes were loosed and the mill
dragged around until the sails
were caught by the wind, and it
was then again te thered rs before.
Later on a great pole, which
was worked on the principle Of a
turntable, was affixed to the mill
Not until 1900 did Holland, the
land of widmills, introduce a
movable dome carrying the sail
The dome ran on rollers and

GETTING INTERESTED

The man who hardly knew you
And who was nothing to you
Comes round to shake
Your hand and make
An awful fuss about you
AS though to live without you
Was something that if he was true
He really wouldn't like to do
And doesn't care, indeed to try.
Because for why?
Well, you al guess
1t more or less,
For this year he is on the .late
A full fledged, jolly candidate.
How he relates the latest jokes
AS he inquiries about your folks
And wants to know
If it is so
Your boy will graduate next year.
"Oh. DEAR"
He says, that boy is smart;
You're giving him a dandy start,
But he will have to go. you bet
To keep the pace his dad has set;
He'll turn out well,
For stock will tell.
You get the taffy strong and straight
From n who is a candidate.
Then he proceeds to talk away
About the evil Of the day
Says it is time
That graft and crime
Were made the public wrath to feel
And that we need another deal,
They could not win,
Who 10 are in,
This doubtful oficeholding crew,
If people just their record knew.
He says it's fierce the way things
are,
And then he slips you a cigar
And talks you blind ard deaf and
dumb,
Yes, this year he is going some.

AN OWL STORY

An English publication tells this
interesting story of an owl:
A vague figure appeared out Of
the clouds, travelling against the
Wind toward the spire and looking
more like a ragged piece of news
paper whirled about the heavens
than any living thing. 1t was a
white owl, and after watching him
for some time | came to the con-
clusion that he was tring to get to
the vane of the spire. a very idle
ambition it seemed, for, although
he succeeded again and again in
getting to within few yards of the
point aimed at, he was on each
occasion struck by a fresh violent
gust and driven back to a great
distance, often quite out Of sight
in the gloom. But presently he
would reappear, still struggling to
reach the vane. A crazy bird!
But could not help admiring his
pluck and greatly wondered what
his secret motive in aiming at that
windy perch could be. And at
last, after so many defeats, he
succeeded and grasped the meta
crossbar with his crooked talons.
The wind with all its fury could
not tear him from it, and after a
little Tapping he was able to pull
himself up, and then, bending down.
he deliberately wiped his beak on
the bar and flew away.
This, then had been his powerful,
mysterious motive-just to wine
his bcak. which he could very well
have wiped on any branch or barn
roof or fence and saved himself that
tremendous labor. This WAS AN
extreme instance of that tyranrous
effect of habit on a wild animal.
Doubtless this bird had been ac-
customed after dcvouring his first
mouse to fly to he vanc, where he
could rest for a few minutes, taking
a general view Of the place, and
wipe his beak ut the same time,
end the habit had become SO strong
that he could not forego his visit
OF so tempestuous an evening.

CHILD PROBLEM IN CITIES

Cities are just awakening to the
fact that clean-souled, strong
limbed children are as IMPORTANT
to the moral health of a city as
clean streets are to its physical
health, says the Baker City Demo-
crat. Mayor Gaynor favors as one
remedy for existing evils the
throwing open of the public schools
and school yards to children and
their parents when classes are
not in session. A plant which
costs the taxpayers so large a sum
should surely be utilized TO the
fullest extent. Some use for it
should be found beyond the six
hours a day for a little more than
half of the year. American cities
must deal more intelligently and
humanely with the child problem
than they are doing. Each year
in the slum a crop of criminal,
vagrant and paupers is growing.
They become during their lives a
enormous cost to the taxpayers.
Each one that is rescued in time
and started right and shaped into
a good citizen, saves a great outlay
of money, besides saving a human
being whose value cannot be
measured. 1t is essential in the
beginning that a boy should not be
treated in such a manner that he
will come to consider the law and
officers as his enemies.
