Everett, Wash, May "a sim-
plified ore reduction process, which
is intended to do away with smelt-
ers, has been evolved in Everett by
F. A. Durr and John Bast. accord
ing to mining men who have wit
messed the test of the little mating
furnaces built by these men. Or
binary stove wood is used and the
amount of heat generated and the
ease with which the ore is reduced
to bullion is a wonder, say all who
have witnessed the demonstration.
The invention is asserted to solve
the problem of reducing low grade
ore with profit to theproducer. The
secret of the invention is that the
heat which escapes through the
smokestack in an ordinary furnace
is saved and applied to the heating
of the ore.

Government reclamation projects
in the great west. which were de-
nounced by their opponents as
"pure socialism," have been more
than vindicated by experience.
Annual rentals for water rights on
the national projects now in opera
tion amount to about 100000,
and the agents of the service have
reported to Washington that these
will be paid in full. Total appro-
priations for the work to date are
about s6O,000,0 900, Of which 81, $780,
900 remains in the treasury. But,
as concrete proof Of the value and
business wisdom of the depart
ment's work, stand these notable
facts: The lands brought into use
by these national projects has been
increased in value by over $780,
100000, and the crops grown upon
them last year was estimated at
over $l4,O00,GO0.

A Great County

There are innumerable reasons
why you should invest in the lands
of this county: There has been but
one crop of land, there will never
be another. Stevens county lands
are cheaper today than land in any
other part of the country, and have
made many man wealthy, and
hold in store fortunes for many
more. There is good water, good
markets and abundant rainfall to
insure good crops. Fuel is cheap,
crop failures are unknown and we
have the finest fruit country on
earth. Opportunities are unlimited
for the young man of energy, or Of
any man with ordinary financial
means. The numberless rapid
streams will some day turn the
wheels of hundreds of mills. The
hills that today are unmarked save
by the hand of nature will be torn
down to yield their mineral wealth.
Great irrigation companies are
leading lakes and streams to the
soils that require more water, and
are laying the foundation for an
unequaled agricultural region and
land OF plenty.
Time was when the United States
boosted frontier, where fortunes
might be made as by magic. Today
there is nowhere in the wide world
a frontier. At last man must settle
down. Most fortunate viii. be the
man who locates ina country tenn
ing with natural wealth, and no.
where has nature bestowed more
lavishly her gifts than in Stevens,
the Mother of Counties, in Wash
ineton.-Clayton Critic.

Any newcomers to the great west
who expect to find gold eagles
growing on the trees, or $50 pieces
scattered on the ground are doomed
to disappointment.
The men who score here as else
where, are the men who work, and
who know how to direct their eff
forts with prudence and wisdom.
There is room for vast numbers of
the right kind of people; but no
place ut all for the wrong kind.
Persons who move out here with
the intention of living by their wits
may find their wits rather poor
asset. Drawn and brain: good will
and industry are much more to the
purpose.
A man without capital can do
we'll if he is willing to pitch in and
work for wages until he can get
start. Good lands are to be had
for the taking. and any man of
diligence and steadiness can secure
a home for himself in the North
west if he is willing to do as those
have done who have preceded him.
But there is no royal road. No
bands are sent out to meet the in
coming settler; no banquets pre-
pared to give him taste for the
fat of the land" It is the old
story of buckle down" and ''saw
wood"
Now and then a sharper who is
not fond of honest work will score,
and make so much money that he
is said to have it "to burn" But
the rule holds good here as else
where, that the men who really
reach the high spots are the men
who work along legitimate business
lines; who make reputation for
square dealing and straight meth
DDS, and who win the respect and
and confidence of their fellow men
by their excellent character and the
persistence of their industry and
zeal in their chosen pursuit.

Curious Optical Properties.

AStefism is the beautiful name given
to curious optical property of GER
tain minerals. They show a star
shaped figure where light is reflected
from them or transmitted through
them. This is seen in the star stone,
which is sort of sapphire, and in
the star ruby. There is asterism also
in mica. The photograph of lamp
fame taken through plate Of mica
shows a six rayed star, with six faint
er radiatians between. Outwardly
star mica resembles the ordinary form
and shows the same phenomena under
polarized light. When examined un-
der the microscope. however, the star
mica is found to contain fine needles
Of another mineral. And these are
regularly arranged at angles of 800
degrees. To these needles is due tie

The 1910 premium list for the
Spokane Interstate Fair has just
been issued and we have received q
copy. The list of prizes offered is
more liberal than ever before, and
an improvement which we believe
will he appreciated By all exhibit
tors is the fact. that separate
prizes are now given for irrigated
and non-irrigated fruit. Another
inducement to exhibitors isthe dry
farming exposition, to be held On
the fair grounds during fair week;
in connection with the 1nterna-
tional Dry Farming Congress. A
separate list of prizes is offered for
the exhibits shown in the Dry

AS a matter of fact. we think that
the cockney accent has certain num-
Der Of real admirers. but what we
wish to call to our readers minds par
ticularly is that America has its cock
ney, SO to speak, precisely as we have.
People in Kentucky have a rather
burrish way Of speaking. and they
loathe and detest the fruity twang
which overwhelms New England. The
westerner, again, is responsible for the
dialect which was supplied on the
English boards by stage Yankees.
Whether you acquire the American
accent or not depends on the length Of
time you remain in America. English
men who stay in New York for pro-
tracted periods preserve their native
cadences intact. 1t is the man who
pays flying visit to the United States
who comes back and always says
mop" for mo" and yep" for ''yes."
Once we met man who had re-
turned from a weeks stay in Boston.
He said he had heard it was easy to
acquire the twang and finally exclaim-
ed. "Waal. stranger. guess 1t may be
dead easy for some. but not for Blank

Waste in Cutting Timber

According to report issued by
the forest service, but one-third of
each tree that is cut in the forest is
utilized as lumber, two-thirds being
absolute waste. This is true only
in the sense that the material is
used. 1t is not really waste in the
economic sense. What waste in
this connection means is that no
methods have yet been developed
through which it is commercially
possible to utilize all of the timber
in tree. Methods of doing this
are being daily developed, and waste
is being gradually eliminated from
this as it is from other industrial
pursuits. As it is, the waste today
is far less than it was formerly.
There was a time when no mar
ket could. be found for any Wash
ington fir which contained single
knot. Everything which was cut
at the mills and sold was what
would today be classed as strictly
clear" Today it is probable that
not more than 20 per cent of the
output of any mill is strictly clear.
Much that was formerly unused is
now utilized, merely because a
market has been found for poorer
grades of lumber for which there
was formerly no market.
In the older mills and indeed in
many of the mills today, the lum-
Der is cut by circular saws. AS the
scarf from such cuts will average
one-quarter of an inch in diameter,
it follows that in cutting one-inch
boards with a circular saw one
quarter of the log is lost in sawdust
alone. The use of band saws has
eliminated this loss to some extent,
yet the percentage OF the log which
goes into sawdust is still high, and
methods of commercially using
sawdust have not developed largely.
The time will come when every
particle of the tree, down even to
its roots, will be used. 1t will be
used because it will pay to use it.
At present it does not pay to at
tempt to utilize the portions of the
tree which the forest service speaks
Of as wasted. This kind of waste
is like the waste of an iron plant in
its furnace Stag. Sometimes it is
possible to develop commercial
use for Stag, and in other places it
is not. Strictly speaking, nothing
is wasted in an economic sense,
save that which would be CONNER
cially profitable to save and to
utilize. Post Intelligencer.

THE v0RACi0US TUNAS.
What Happens When They Meet a
School Of Flying Fish.

School Of Flying Fish.
One time at San Clemente we sight
ed a. feeding school of tuna, an exhil-
aEating sight. A flying fish weighing
a pound and half or more would
start from the water and soar an ex-
traordinary distance, nearly out Of
sight, but every inch OF that fight I
knew was covered by big tuna keep
ing his place just beneath the fiier and
ready to seize it the moment it fell
into the wafer. This rarely failed.
The moment the fish began to drop
the tuna would spring at it like a
tiger, turning and tossing the spume
into the air with splendid and cleo
trifying rush, a maneuver that was
repeated all over the blue channel
The sensational charge meant that
school of tunas had discovered a school
OF its natural prey, flying fishes. At
once the lust for blood and food was
on, and carnage was the result.
