CITIZENSHIP
Made Easier for Some by
Congress.

The latest edition of laws from
the bureau of immigration and
naturalization has been received by
the county clerks Many changes
are noticeable and one act in parti-
cular will be of interest to many in
this country. The act referred to
was an amendment to the old, law
and was passed by congress last
June. The law has only recently
gone into effect and in substance is
as follows:
Any person belonging to the class
of persons authorized and qualified
under the existing laws to become
citizen of the United States dur
ing a period of five years next
preceding May /, 1910, who, be-
cause of misinformation in regard
to citizenship or the requirements
of the law governing the natur-
alization of citizens, has labored
and acted under the impression
that he was or could become
citizen of the Unietd States and
has in good faith exercised the
rights and duties of a citizen or in
tended citizen of the United States
because of such wrongful informal
ion and belief may, upon making a
showing of such facts satisfactory
to court having jurisdiction to
issue papers of naturalization to an
alien and the court in its Judgment
believes there was good faith said
court may grant a final certificate
of naturalization and said court
may issue such certificate without
requiring proof of former declarat-
ion by or on the part of such per-
son of their intention to become
citizen of the United States, but
such application for naturalization
shall comply in all other respects
with the law relative to the issu-
ance of final papers of naturalizat-
| ion to aliens.

Z. s. Forest Revenue

For the fiscal year ended June 80
last, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture announces, the rs per
cent of National Forest revenue
which will go to the State for road
and school purposes amounted to
$500, 164.84. This was S67 ,4o2. O3
more than last year, or an increase
of little over Is per cent. The
payments are an offset to the loss
of income from taxable property
sustained through withdrawal of
the forest land from entry under
the puplic land laws. Montana
receives S66,074 SIS the largest
amount, Minnesota $457,37, while
the smallest amount goes to North
Dakota, $3.50 The table shows
a heavy increase in several of the
states.
The increases are the result of
increased activity in National
Forest timber sales in these States
and are an earnest of what will
happen as the timber supply which
the Government is caring for
comes into full demand. Since
the cut of timber will always be
limited to what the Forests will
keep on growing, the income to the
States will be permanent, not
transitory, as would have been the
case if hasty and improvident ex-
ploitation had been permitted.
According to the calculations of
the Department of Agriculture
officials the States will eventually
receive many times what the
Forests are now yielding them, for
there is as yet on the whole only
very restricted demand for the
Governments timber.

DRUGS AND PHYSICAL PAIN
Not Always Wise to Resort to Anes-
thetics to Escape Temporary
Discomfort.

A philosopher who loves his fell
bowman advises the world on the
important subject of how to endure
physical pain. In the first place,
comfort yourself as much as possible
by mental resolution get some one
to sing or play musical instrument
for you, and finally get a wise ply
stefan to give you some honorable
anesthetic."
He might perhaps have better
said to get some wise and honorable
physician to give an anesthetic. Nor
phine and choral, and the other
anodynes that are also used as the
instruments for slow suicide, are
just as honorable as any other drug
and have uses that make them val
liable to the world. Because fools
make use of them to kill themselves
by the drug habit, that is no reason
the drugs are disreputable. A wise
physician will observe due precau-
ton against starting patients on
that route, and wise patient will
not take any of them on his own
motion.

In times of war and distress it is
customary for governments to issue
special internal revenue stamps
that must be attached not only to
articles of merchandise, but also to
every communication and instru-
ment of exchange. Now, the Red
Cross seal ought to be regarded as
a special revenue stamp to be levied
on everyone and everything, only,
with the cheerful consent of the
bearer of the tax.
From now until Christmas, every
present, every parcel, every letter,
every check, every bank draft,
every postoffice money order, every
thearer ticket, every railroad ticket
and everything else on which a
stamp will stick should be stamped
with a Red Cross seal.
These seals will be on sale in the
city of Ely, and it is hoped that
every one will use some of these
seals before Christmas, and thus aid
i'll this great nation wide campaign
for raising funds for caring for the
army of one million consumptives
in such way as to thin its ranks il
wears to come.

ALL OTHER FLOODS DWARFED
In That, as in Most Other Things, tho
United States Is Easily in
the Forefront.

Inasmuch as the French are dis
posed to regard the recent overflow
of the Seine as the biggest thing
that ever happened, says the New
York Mail, it is time that they be
politely invited to guess again. We
modest Americans claim the medal
for bigness in floods as in other
things. Take, for example, the
flood of the Potomac in 1889, when
boats navigated Pennsylvania ave-
nue. in the city Of Washington; why,
bless the dear soul of Paris, that
flood at its height was five times as
great in volume as the trivial freshet
in the Seine. At least the en-
gineers of the United States geo.
logical survey lay so, and they de-
clare, moreover, that the flood in the
Susquehanna in the same year was
eight times greater than the recent
one In the Seize. And talk about
damages by fosd, just make a note
of the fact thatour losses from such
causes amount to more than $780,
100000 yeal. Furthermore, let
the envious Frnch observe that for
some mysteriots reason we are
rather proud f it. AS compared
with an American river in flood, the
Seine is a mere trickle.

RED CROSS SEALS
Will be Oh Sale in Ely for
Christmas.

The American Red Cross reports
that 40, OOO,O seals have already
been printed and sent out. One
million have been ordered for the
state of Minnesota.
The Red Cross will get out
IS, 900, 900 more. and probably u.s.
900, 900 just before Christmas.
It is estimated that about 5000
people will be actively engaged in
promoting the sale and that total
of nearly 81 900, 900 will be realized
for national, state and local work
throughout the country.
In the state of Minnesota last
year 900, 900 seals were sold and it
is expected a million will be sold
this year. This will mean between
$4,000 and $4,000 for state and local
antituberculosis work. ~..
The national association says
that 275, 200 more beds in special
institutions for consumptives are
required. In this state we need
Immediately 1000 beds at first
cost of not less than 81 900, 900.
These figures are merely to show
that the proper care of the con-
sumptive population is destined to
be one of the greatest social under
takings of the times and that the
expense being so enormous must
be principally met, by taxation.
Our part, as the national as
ISOLATION point out is not to Estab-
lish beds but to raise enough
money through Red Cross seals to
pay for the expense of securing
public appropriations to provide
beds.

THE FIDDLER.
BY Walt Mason.

They are holding high carousal
down at Charles grog bazaar, and
the boys are burning money where
the shining bottles are; you may
hear their joyous laughter, you
may hear them shout and sing, and
they're finding life a solace as the
noisy hours take wing. But the
morning, 0 the morning when the
singing FOUNDERS wake! When
the mouth is like hens nest, and
the head mass of ache! o the
agonies remorseful, and the wall
ings that ascend! For all men
must pay the fiddler when the
dance is at an end. There are
fellows all around US who are cut
ting quite swath, thinking that
unless they're stylish they are
surely in the broth; and they re
buying motor-wagons, and they re
jaunting off to Rome, with lot of
borrowed money and mortgage on
the home. And some day beastly
panic on the land will spread pail
and lot of stylish alexis will be
backed against the wall; then you II
hear lot of pleading-pleading all
in vain, my friends; for man must
pay the fiddler when the dance is at
an end. Little Cora Jane DeJig-
gers has her feelings badly unified
for her mother often tells her
that her gait is much too swift.
With her swagger girl companions
through the streets she likes to
roam, and she sees the moving
pictures when she ought to be at
home; she is flirting with the
Johnnies in her harmless, foolish
way, and she may invest in sack
cloth on some bitter future day; for
the laws that govern mortal never
yield and never bend-girls. like
boys, must pay the fiddler when
the dance is at an end.

NEW LIGHT FOR THE THEATER
Arranged SO That Rays Shall Present
Attractive Spectacle to the
Audience.

The latest theatrical light comes
from Spain, and a Spanish engineer,
Fortunty, who uses an arc lamp as
the source of light. The rays of the
lamp, instead Of falling directly on
the scene, are thrown against a
series of silk bands, which are I'M
rolled and set in any position by
means of pulleys. The bands serve
to reflect the light and change it
into a perfectly diffused light. The
new method also includes a sky
which is formed in a quarter of d
sphere and composed of a steel cap
which is treated with dead white
coating The difused light is sent
into this dome and gives the illusion
of an unlimited space.
Another interesting device is used
to dispense with the ordinary clouds,
which always have a rigid appear
ance to the audience. These now ap-
pear to be quite plastic and mobile.
Such result is secured by the use of
mirrors which reflect painted
screens representing clouds. When
the mirrors are rotated slowly the
clouds appear to move slowly over
the sky.
All the present system is worked
from four small cabins which are
placed in the auditorium. Compe-
tent persons are of the opinion that
the present invention forms a con-
siderable progress from an artistic
as well as technical and economical
point of view.
