Plenty of Pine Cones

DeadwoOd-No more pine cones

estry force has been inspecting the
piles of cones brought in by men and

and sold them to the government at
rs cents a bushel. In all about $4,000
bushels Of cones were purchased in

secured by Supervisor lines at Custer
aud the rest by Supervisor Kelle er
here. All the cones from here were
shipped to Custer. where they were
stored in a warehouse. where a high
temperature was maintained. This
causes the cones to spread and drop
their seed, after which tanning mill
is used to separate the seed from the
chaff The seeds thus secured W Ii be
distributed by the government in the

be planted next spring in reforesta-

RAILROADS COMBINE
1t Is Charged, to Prevent San Diego
From Getting Trade.

Washington, Feb. 11.-"No one is
asking the government to build rail-
roads to break up the transcontinen-
tai combination. Why ask the gov
eminent to establish steamship lines
for that purposes" asked Senator
Brandegee in the committee on inter-
oceanic canals today during a hearing
on the Flint-McLachlan bill for the
establishment of a government owned
line on the Pacific coast. A. P. Flem-
ing, secretary of the Los Angeles
harbor board, had stated that the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail-
ways had combined to prevent San
Diego from becoming an important
port. AS a result he said, the Pacific
mail steamers die not touch San
Diego and the Santa Fe broke an
agreement with the Hamburg line,
which had arranged to have a steam
er call at that port.
THE government is running boats
to the isthmus on the Atlantic coast
incident only to the canal,'' said Sena-
tor Crawford, land the line will be
sold in a few years. Why establish
a government line on the Pacific
coast for such short period"

FARMER PROSPERS
Crops This Year Larger Than
Ever Before, Government
Statistics Show.
CORN AND OATS ARE HIGH
All Previous Marks Shattered-OnIy
Small Section OF Northwest
Has Suffered Loss.

Washington, Oct 11.-Bumper yields
of corn and oats have swelled the total
harvest OF cereals this year to by far
the largest aggregate in the history OF
the country.
The total crops Of wheat, corn, and
oats alone as reported by the govern
ment in its October report, issued yes
terday, are 4,765,0o0,0oo bushels, or
249,000,000 bushels more than the big
harvests of 1909, and the largest ag-
gregate yield on record.
While the total yield Of spring and
winter wheat was not of recent proper
tons, the indicated harvest of corn and
oats skaters all previous high marks.
The October corn promise is for a crop
of 2,e77, 100000 bushels, or about $685.
100000 bushels more than the big crop
of last year, and 100000 bushels
more than the previous high mark of
1927, 900. 900 bushels secured in 1906.
Estimate ON Oats Lifted.
The government reports again lifted
the estimate OF the oats crop, this time
making it 1,o96,000,O00 bushels, or
practically 100000 bushels moro
than the yield of 1909, which itself
shattered all previous records.
The government raised its Septem-
Der estimate OF the spring wheat yield
from 217,00O,0 900 bushels to 239.475, 900
bushels, which with the preliminary
estimate of 45S, 200, 900 bushels for the
winter wheat makes a combined yield
OF 691, 900, 900 bushels. compared to an
early season promise OF only 406,000,-
900 bushels.
Ideal growing conditions during the
last half OF the crop season overcame
the adverse factors early and resulted
in much larger yields OF all grains than
seemed to be possible earlier in the
season
Most Successful Year Promised.
The figures sent out during the day
give promise for the most successful
year the American farmers have ever
had. Prices are not so high as last
year, but generally the larger yields
more than make up for this and the
fact that bumper yields of all the lead
ing cereals have been obtained means
that prosperity on the farms will be
widespread and not confined to any
one section.
About the only section that suffered /
severe crop losses was in the northwest, |
where the midseason drought caused |
much damage. This was especially |
the case in North Dakota and northern
Minnesota.

FOR DAY OF AToNEMENT
Thursday Celebrated in the Jewish
Churches as Yom Kippur.

Thursday Celebrated in the Jewish
Churches as Yom Kippur.
The Jewish festival. the Day OF
Atonement Yom Kippur, the hottest
| day in the Jewish calendar, falls this
year on the 18th day of October, and
appropriate services, will be held at
Temple Emanuel iniDavenport. The
Hebrew date is the 10th of Tishri.
The festival is ordained in Leviticus
XVI. 1884 and XIII. 26-22. In
both passages it is styled "a sabbath
of Solemn Rest
The purpose of the Day of Atone
ment is clearly indicated by its name
It is intended to complete and crown
the work of the penitential season,
begun on the first Tishri New
Year, by finally reconciling the soul
with the Almighty. Implicitly. trust
ing in the divine forgiveness, the Is
raelite believes that his contrition, if
it be really sincere, will atone for
him, will make him Eat one" once
more with his heavenly Father. The
day, then is devoted to a supreme eff
fort Of penitence, mighty endeavor
after communion with the Almighty.
1t Is spent in prayer and meditation
It is kept, too, as a fast, in obed-
fence to the command given in each
of the two passages above cited
where the expression "aff1ict his
SOUL must be understood, as it is
throughout the bible, as synonymous
with fasting.
The chief, the real aim of the Day
OF Atonement is the reformed life.
All the external elements of the days
observance-its worship and auster-
fties-are intended to promote this
supreme purpose. They cannot do
duty for it. The act of fasting is
partly to serve as a self-imposed
chastisement and partly 1t has a re-
f1ex influence. For hunger and weak
ness tell upon the conscience; they
mortify pride, break down obstinacy,
cast men down before God in hui
mility and contrition. But fasting
does even more than that Taking /
the worshipper away from such car
nal occupations as eating and drink
ing, it helps to fix his thoughts upon |
the needs of the soul. 1t makes the |
day one of physical abstinence and |
self denial, but also of correspond
lngly increased spirituality,
