 am sure that we need to learn this lesson that the Sphinx teaches. We need to cultivate the habit of looking for the sunnyside of life. There are those who enwrap themselves in the man tie of gloom and tread lifes pathway only in the darkness with bowed heads. For them no bright eyed star merrily wrinkles and winks out of the blue of the sky. They forget that night is for only a short time and that the world is rolling right on to the morning. when day shall kiss awaay the shadows and bathe mountain and plain with radiant glory and transform rivers and seas into golden splendor.
 They do not enjoy fair weather today. because it might rain tomorrow. Their financial accumulations they have no pleasure in, for thinking of the possible bank failures that might leave them poor To their way of looking at life, national glory is all gone; the government Is in the hands of thieves, and all of us are on the road to the bow-wows; the churches are all corrupt; society Is immoral; the lawyer is dishonest; tise minister breaches because he Is paid for 1t. and every body knows the doctor is humbug.

 Industry means population. Perma- nent industry means steady and solid population. Hence thls land, the darl- ing of the gods, with its broad inner itance of agricultural mineral and marine industries is steadily, solidly filling up. Still town vies with town and city with city for more popula- tion. Advertising, more advertising, and still more advertising does its work, and the people come. They fill the prairies and valleys of Oklahoma, which yesterday were wastes, with colleges, farms, oil wells and beautiful, thriv- ing cities.

The world Is better than 1t ever was, but he has acquired the habit of looking the wrong way There was a time when he always look ed toward the sunrise. His dreams were of the land across the Nile. over which hung roseate clouds and where mosque domes and lofty minarets shone and made a splendid foreground to tall palms waving in graceful motion in the far distance. Those were days of faith-faith in himself, faith in his fellows and faith in Providence. The pessimist has lost all these. He has turned from the Cos pei ot Hope and Faith. to the dark shadows of Despair. He suspects men. where once he trusted; he looks for evil. and is not disappointed.

Olympia, Wash, July 15.-The in

the forest reserves in this state will
be started in a few days, according
to- advices received here by r. E.

reserve, from c. S. Chapman, the

the effects of forest cover on the
streams within the reserves.
This is the first time that this work
has ever been done in western state
and all the figures used in regard to
the power of the streams have hither-

have been established will turn them
