II is said that actors are the only
ones who are not complaining now
about the high price of eggs In
1910? Why Hasn't America out
grown the kiddish notion that eggs
may be scrambled on coats instead Of
in sanitary frying pans? Have they
so far ignored the opportunities for
artistic culture in dress that such a
combination appeals to them? And
haven't the doctors proclaimed suf-

Village Of Tents and Wealth of Grit.

Rcaudctte, Mimi, is now a village of
tents, occupied by the refugees of the
forest fires which swept away their
homes: and incoming trains are con-
stantly bringing clothing and pro-
visions from various states and from
Canada to these fire sufferers. The
donations from Canada are permitted
to cross the border without duty. The
ground in some places is still burning,
three or four feet deep, yet plans have
already been made for building
Beaudettc and Spooner anew. Thou
sands of acres of land have been
cleared by the forest fires, and can be
made ready for farming with but lit

panies will purchase all of the partly
burned timber that can be used, and
will sell lumber at cost to those who
will rebuild.
Although these people lost all their
material possessions, they appear to
nave sufficient grit left to suffice for
more than ordinary building purposos
ana no doubt the new cities will show
that they were master builders. AS

The tide Of the year is out,
The fields and the boughS are bare:
And the fleets OF bright birds. with their
frcights of song.
Have drifted. we know not where.
The tide of the year will turn.
The meadows will ripple ere long;
And the boughs will be ilccked with

The orchards oertiow with song
When the tides of your life are low.
And Joys on fleet wings have fled,
Then, remember the beach is not always
bare;
And summer is never dead.

HEAVY SALE OF
BELMONT STOCK
IS EXPLAINED
TEN THOUSAND SHARES ON THE
MARKET REDUCES PRICE
A FEW CENTS

Cal Brougher, who arrived from
the coast yesterday to inspect his
mining interests here, today received
a telegram from San Francisco
which gives the reason for the
heavy sale and decline in the Bel
mont stock quotation. The dispatch,
which was from one of the leading
brokerage houses, stated that ten
thousand shares had been placed on
the market by a party who had
been caught in cotton slump. The
certificates were bought as fast as
they were offered and there was a
strong demand even after the 10,-
900 shares had been sold.
Mr.. Brougher visited the Belmont
chis morning and took trip
through the underground workings.
That he was pleased with the show
ings goes without saying. The
winze sent down from the 1166
level is now down 81 feet and con-
tinues to be in the ore. This adds
thousands of tons to the ore re-
serves of the mine, and naturally
Mr.. Brougher was jubilant over the
condition.
