MI. Carnegie has recently learned
that man in China of the name of

MUSKKAT MEAT.

Secretary Wilson has solved the high
cost of living in way. The price of
beef and lamb is high, but he finds the
price of muskrat meat very low. He
shows in some recent literature issued
from his department, the vast advan-
tages and probable profits of muskrat
farming. He also finds somehow that
the flesh of muskrats was regarded by
the aboriginees as the piece d resis-
tence at their feasts, and especially at
their wedding and Sunday dinners.
The great chiefs, possibly the father of
Minnehaha, at her notable wedding
served musklat TO all the guests as
sembled. Chibiabos, the sweet singer,
who sounded:the, Indian pipe and ia
Dor at that very same feast, no doubt
sung verses such as these:
Oh, the sweet meat of the muskrat,
oh, the juicy stews it makes us,
Oh, the tables at the weddings
How they tempt US with their fra

bitterest speech in Boston last Satur-

made and widened the breach, if he
could widen it. Murdoch, of Kansas,

Mr.. Tait's railroad bill has been hav-
ing its ups and downs. The principal
thing for which it was starred was to
kill the Sherman act. This was a
stealthy piece of business. The rail-
roads made known to Mr.. Taft what
they wanted, then he fathered the bill,
and it will 60 through as the admins
tration measure. But like the tariff
bill it has Western opposition and lots
of it.

Florence, Aug. 20.-Work on the
Scheaffer dam under construction by
Fox and Smith Construction company,
for the Beaver Land and Irrigation
company is rapidly nearing compile
ton and it is estimated that October
IL will see the mammoth enterprise
completed. At the present time there
are about twenty feet OF filling yet to
be put in, but from the fact that in
every foot made there is a slope of
five feet, the work will progress much
more rapidly than heretofore. 20 ad-
ditional teams have started to work
last week to excavate for the spill
way on the east side of the creek.
This will be of cement. At the pres
ent time there is forty feet of water in
the dam and 1t is possible to increase
this amount at any time, but for fear
OF a cloudburst on the headwaters OF
Beaver creek the company does not
propose to take any chances on filling
It to its present capacity. A steam
