HE FOLLOWED NATURE.

From one end of the civilized world
TO the other interest has been ar
oused in the supposed theft of the IA
NOUS painting Mona Lisa from the
great French national art gallery, the
Louvre. Not many days since the
istorical painting was found missing
and all efforts to unravel the mystery
have thus far been in vain.
There are many people who wonder
by the world should have taken such
notice OF Mona Lisa. In some re-
spects it is not a remarkable picture
at all. II is the portrait of an oval
faced woman of no particular beauty.
The subject is said to have been
Elizabeth, wife of Francesca del Clio
condo, a citizen of Florence. The
painting was made about the year
1904 by Leonardo da Vinci. The
name Mona Lisa is derived from i
shortening Of the lady's name, Mad
am Elizabeth.
According to biographers, Leonar-
DO da Vinci was an artist of the great
ost versatility. He was not only an
excellent painter, but was also a sculp-
tor and a musician. Then he was also
an architect, engineer and mechanical
inventor Seemingly he was a well
balanced genius with a taste for the
:,ractical as well as the artistic
1t is probable that the artists char
acter shines forth through the eyes OF
Mona Lisa and it may be that this
feature is responsible for the re-
rcwn Of the painting.
All concede that the attraction
about the painting consist in its nat
gralness. The painting is very life,
like and It impresses beholders with
the idea they are looking upon a liv'
ing woman. In the eyes and upor
the lips II Mona Lisa there is pc
culiar smile about which there ha!
been endless discussion and specu
Iation.
If one were TO guess what sort o.
q painting would be produced by
man Of the character Of Leonardo d;
Vlnci it would be easy TO say he woulC
paint something in which simpl
lifelike quality would be the chic
feature. II seems he did that witt
Mona Lisa and he has gained fam
such as has been accorded few ar
Hs,s Of tie world. All Of which goe
to show that the world prizes trutl
more than fiction and that Shakes

true art consists in holding the mir
ror up TO nature.

making money for me. We farmers
must not only keep eternally at reduc-
ing the cost of production but plan
n way to get the most out of our pro-
duct. Use your head as well as your
hands. for it is the little saving that
makes up the profits at the end of
the year. 1t takes sharpening OF wits
all the time
The fertilizer problem is one of the
most serious confronting the farmer
today Shall he open up his elds to
the commercial article or shall he
husband his own resources and main
tain the fertility of the soil by re-
turning to it the elements of which t
was robbed in producing a crop? The
answer is simple. a ton of average
fresh manure contains ten pounds of
nitrogen, five pounds of phosphoric
acid and ten pounds of potash.
At the prices which these ele-
ments of plant food would cost n
commercial fertilizers the value of
manure would be $3.50 ton. This
does not take into account the value
of the organic matter furnished,
the plant food That this theoretical
valuation is very conservative is
shown by the result of many field eX-
periments, by various experiment sta
tons and practical farmers. The
value as shown by the increased crops
has equalled and often exceeded this
theoretical valuation.
An experiment conducted in Jaspar
county, Missouri, resulted in an acre
wh.ch had been treated with eight
tons of manure yielding sixty-five
bushels of corn while an acre imme-
diately adjoining-which had not
been treated with natural fertilizer
yielding only twenty-nine and a half
bushels. Experiments conducted at
Columbia, in the same state, resulted
as follows: \ tract on which corn
had been grown continuously for 20
years but which had been literally
manured Welded thirty bushels to the
acre. Another tract, likewise adj
| joining on wh'c corn ad been rOtat-
| ed with oats ana clover yielded forty
nine bushels to the acre. Still a fourth
| tract, Immediately adjoining on which
scient fic management had been prac-
ticed to the extent of both rotating
crops and manuring the field, yielded
sixty bushels to the acre.-From

GETTING TOGETHER.

II is well that the state good roads
committee is busy all over the state
Gscertining what the people desire in
the way Of legislation. At the last
session of the legislature the whole
session was wasted as far as good
roads work was concerned. \ wrangle
{ issued between friends of the good
roads movement and it led TO such
confusion that good roads people
themselves implored the governor to
veto the patched up bills that were
passed.
This time the matter should be
worked out clearly in advance so that
'nn serious differences will arise when
legislation is again proposed. In con-
nection with the work of draft
ing good roads plan the East Ore
gonian will suggest that representa-
tives of road making machinery hous-
rs be barred from the game entirely.
, the participation by such men in the
movement aroused, suspicion last time
and it will do so again. Let the good
roads plan be drafted by the people
who use the roads, not by the parties
who hope to build them or sell ma
chinery for road making purposes.

The Weston community is in good

big crops and fair prices. Wheat,
barley and forage are bringing in

their contribution. For the first time
in years the local bank was able to
finance the harvest without outside
assistance: and as the proceeds from

that there ought to be a plethora OF

Good Reports
 From Koyukuk

TANANA, Feb. 15-According to Henry Gregson, who has just arrived from the Koyukuk, that region is looking more promising this winter than ever before.
 Recent developments on Sheep c, eek are the center of interest. Ten years ago there was considerable excitement on Sheep creek when several rich spots of pay were found, but on the whole the creek has been disappointment. Now, however the pay has been found on the right limit benches and it is predict ed that the cleanup in that vicinity next season will not fall short of $2OO,OO
 At least forty men are working on Sheep creek. In most of the claims the pay has been lined up for a width of forty feet, and the ground is uniformly good. A recent deal made for Sheep creek property was the buy which Johnny Coop, John Clarence and Herman Bailey made of Bnl Redmond's ground. The owners are doing well.
 Sibley has hit the pay again on Nolan creek. First he crosscut for distance of 15O feet but to no eff feet, then he found he had passed ever the pay, which was in a deep CT channel.
 Tom Brown, on No. s, right limit, is in good pay, but the biggest dump cn Nolan is the one which Captain Johnson is taking out. Peterson, FL Ison and Gilbert have pay in new shaft on Nolan.
 On Gold creek, Long Shorty Wood and Charley Muskard are in ground that will go from $1.5O to $2 to the square foot
 It is reported that Joe Healey and Jesse Allen are again in good pay on Vermont creek, the stream that show ed such fine values a year ago.
 Doc Cleaveland is prospecting on the South Fork, but he expects to go outside in April for a Keystone drill. With him is associated S. J. Marsh, the Chandlar hard rock man.
 The few men who have dropped iu the Koyukuk this winter look Ing for work had no trouble in find ing it.

 The prosecutor, in outlining the case, denounced Nicolai Nora, lead e of the band that murdered Cuo- cullo and his wife, as the worst crim- nal in Italy. He declared Nora would do anything to gain his ends, ar that he even gouged out his own eye to avoid military service.

 The proposed pardon of George Adams, under a 10-year sentence ir the federal government prison on Mo NeiPs island, for substituting black sand for gold dust in the 'pokes' sent from Alaska assay office, will be strongly opposed by Alaskans gen orally, according to Ben Everett of Fairbanks, who is at the Donnelly hotel.
 q came out from Alaska about the time Adams was caught" said Everett today. There was a strong feeling at the time of the sentence, It was said the crime should have been punished more severely. Added to the fact that the hard-working miners were robbed, was that of the length of time it took the govern. ment to make restitution, and then SC me of the men did not get their money, I understand.
 Adams robbed the miners them. selves. The sacks of gold dust they sent down from the north were re ceived by him as the head of the assay office. He would take out some gold from each sack and sub stitute the identical weight with black and."-Tacoma News.

 Extensive development work has been planned and as soon as possible a five-stamp mill will be installed.
 The crew at work in the mine re- cently ran into four feet of ore that averages $6S to the ton, and the re- pert has since been verified by ex- ports who were sent out by MT. Barnes.
 It is the belief of Mir. Barnes that he has the best mine in Alaska, and the belief is shared by others who are familiar with the property.
