average. When you love beyond
the average you are insane. The
difference between the love OF
man and woman is just the differ
ence between their reasoning fac
ulties. The average man has a
harder head than the average
woman. Consequently he does
not love so desperately. The
same applies to the varying de-
grees of love in women. Some
are reasonable, easily satisfied.
and some must love all the time.
With these love is cumulative; 1t
grows on itself, feeds on itself,
and death is the only end of 1t.
This love unrestrained is a tu-
multuous love - the woman
swings fro none extreme to the
other. There are moments when
she is consumed with hate.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. g.
Reports of the United States agri-
cultural department show that the
receipts of livestock during July
at the seven Largest stockyards In
the middle west were nearly 400,-
900 less than in July, 1909, and
that about 100000 head less were
received than in the same month
of 1908. Though hogs on the hoof
are high, the receipts during July
were IS per cent less than the past
five year average.
Shortage in Canned Meats.
The shortage at these markets
for the first seven months of 1910
exceeds 25 per cent as compared
with the average of former years.
There has also been a great de-
cline in the storing and shipping
of dressed cured meats. The
packers have sent out of Chicago
1S per cent less fresh beef, cured
meats and lard than in the cores
bonding seven mon this period of
any year since 1900.
The stock of meat on the last
day of July, 1910, at the five prin-
cipal packing centers had decreas-
ed about 100000 pounds since
the end of June and was about
one-third less than the average
for the same date in the five pre-
oeding years, and of course the
trust will not bear the burden.

CUTTING ALL
ALONG THE
LINE

1t looks like a 30-mill levy for
Tacoma.
The cut of three mills from the
levy by the city, making an-mill
levy possible, has put things in
shape for a reduction of over
mills in the total levy.
According to statements made
by H. G. Rowland before the Tax
league meeting last night the
county is preparing to cut the
levy for county purposes from 6 "
to mills, and the state expects
to cut from ~ mills to s mills.
The school board yesterday de-
cided on a levy of 5 " mills, and
the park board wants 1 ".
If all these come to the figures
as stated the total levy, with the
city at II mills, will be just ex-
actly 80 mills, or cents on the
dollar.
The tax league, however, is de-
termined to have the park levy
cut. At the present valuation the
levy of " mill swould bring the
parks about 100000.
The tax league asked it's COM
mittee last night to wait on the
park board and ask for an item
ized statement of it's budget for
next year. 1t is believed by the
tax league that this is too much
money for parks under present
conditions.

This is Mrs. Vera Prosser's own
analysis of her love for Reese T.
Prosser, whom she killed on a
train near Libby, Mont, within a
few hours after he had divorced
her at Seattle.
She went to jail protesting that
her love for Prosser made her kill
him; she talked only of her love
for him during the trial at which
she was acquitted; she reiterated

SETTLING SMITH VALLEY

Wellington is the scene of a grand
rush at this time and every
available acre Of land in Smith
Valley has been taken up by home
steaders and colonists at the rate
of twenty-six day are being taken
to the place to view the land and
without a doubt a large majority
of them will locate there.
A San Francisco company has
secured the control of the new
locations and have commenced the
shipment of would be settlers to
the region. Yesterday twenty-six
people arrived on the morning
train for the section and at Minden
were loaded on automobiles and
rapidly transported to the section.
The Raycraft auto from this city,
an auto from Reno and the Jensen
and Dressler autos of Gardenvile
are in the service and will be kept
constantly in the service for some
time to come as arrangements have
been made for 26 people to arri We
at Minden every morning until the
grand total of $50 people will be
taken to the section. The PROPOSE
tion is under the management of
Nelson Watt of San Francisco.
The excitement is caused by the
fact that sinking of artesian wells
in the section has resulted in the
discovery of a fine flow of water
and this coupled with the known
fertility of the section, the balmy
climate and the fact that two rail-
road lines are headed for the valley
insuring a market for the produce.
The Reading company, the own
ers of large ranch and the largest
business in that section,
have large we'll boring outfit on
the ground and are to sink large
number of wells which will
thoroughly irrigate the section.
One hundred and six desert land
locations have been made and on
this land the colonists will build
their homes.-Carson News.

FALSE BELIEFS

Secretary Knox has gone on re-
cord with the statement that all
nations will presently disarm.
Utterly impossible! Secretary
Knox has plenty of other ways of
attracting attention, and so we must
credit him with sincerity in the
present instance, but he manifests
a remarkable lack of knowledge
of human nature when he conceives
picture in which there shall be no
more physical opposing.
There is scarcely a figure in all
mythology which is not inseparably
associated with weapon. And
there has never been a man in the
history of the world who, without
weapons, has added cubit to the
stature of his nation. Christ whip
ped the money-changers in the
temple; Cupid must have his
arrow; Jove his thunder; David
must have his staff and his sling,
and Medusa her serpent locks.
The cave man had his clubs; the
Saxon kings their arrows; the red
man his tomahawk. The thug has
his slungshot, and the aristocrat his
gatling gun.
Nor are all the arms, ancient and
. modern, displayed in museum or
armory. The walls of Jericho fell
at the sound of trumpet, and the
walls of Troy were RACED because a
man smiled upon a woman. The
Medicis had their poisons and
Cleopatra her asp. Caesar felt the
bite of dirk, and Francesca: and
Paola were sundered by the broad
sword. Old age would have is
mortars belch upon the world, rand
the child furtively fondles his
"nigger-shooter."
Everywhere nature has it's weap-
ons: the clouds is lightning, the
air its whirlwind, the land its
earthquake. the mountain its
avalanche, the valley its flood, the
sea its tidal wave.
Sometime we hope that the arm
aments may lie in abeynace, as the
strong mans muscles are hid be-
meath the habit of peace, but none
the less ready to strike a blow at
the moment of need.
But the implements that kill and
pacify-shall never disappear until
all the nations have joined the cities
Of the plain, and man, with his pride
and ambition, is returned to dust.
