The happiest days of mans life
are spent OF a camping trip Even
the worn and caretied business man
will give up portion of each year
to build up in this way. Can there
be a man so hard and callous as to
wild and beautiful mountain streams,
among the snow capped mountains?
Not so you could notice it, No. you
can't find a man who. deep down in
his heart would not take a camping
trip in preference to eating fried
chicken.
Rummage around in your old musty
think tank and remember that good
black coffee, and a slice of that ham
Won took along. Could you stop t.
count the number of times you passed
that old pint tin cup for another deli
cious portion of it? Do you remember
that queer feeling that came over you
when your 'pard' hollered and asked
you to pass your pan for another lay
out of beans?
Get Up Early.
You didn't mind those days getting
up bright and early and grabbing the
Ak, and chopping up a tree that was
blown down, and carrying the fruits
of your labor about a half mile. And
how proud you were of the handsome
little stack which went to show that
you had done good mornings work.
Don't you recall how you slippel
Of with your gun to the place wnere
the farmer told you that rabbits were
thick. and you shot around until you
heard tiiat three clangs on the DID
piece % steel rail you had hung up
on the low limb of the sheltering
tree, and you knew YOU could eat
again, and afte:- y2d -. back, sal
lantly you laid down that rabbit yCu
back? And you told the rest of the
bunch that you had killed several
others. but some how they got away
from you?
Carrying Water.
See yourself once again as you got
the old bucket and walked over to the
little stream and filled it with that
sparkling clear water. and the way
you knelt down on the knees of your
trousers in the damp grass on the
bank? Come on and TESS up.
Now say you can't remember the
fishing trip the whole bunch took
How you set the brand new tin alarm
clock for 4:90 and the way you all
rubbed your sleepy eyes and finally
decided to get up and dig that bait
under the tree over near the brook.
Going Fishing.
Didn't you hurry up those peanut
butter sandwiches when the rest of
the good fellows yelled for YOU to
come on 'muy pronto" before the fishes
quit biting Well you finally got to
the splashjng mountain stream, and

words while you were trying to undo

Don't you remember how you nearly

pulled the rod clear out from under
the rock you had placed to hold s1t

middle of the stream and after fall

LOWER TELEGRAPHIC TOLLS

It ID reported that there is a strong
probability that the recent Inaugural
ton by the Western Union of its new
day letter service will be made the
subject of congressional inquiry. At
a hearing two years ago before a
special committee of congress which
had under consideration bill in
tended to force the telegraph COM
panies to carry the fling time on all
Interstate messages, officials of the
Western Union protested that such a
law if enacted would confscate the
annual dividends OF the corporation.
If it's profits would be absorbed by
the compulsory carrying of the three
or four letters required to designate
the filing time on messages paying
the maximum day rate, its present
ability to carry at night so words for
the usual day price of ten and so
words for the customary rate of
fifteen by its new day letter service
raises the question of whether it was
in error then or in error now. Vari-
Gus interpretations have been put
upon the motives of the company in
instituting the new service. In some
quarters 1t is believed to be part of a
plan, which began many months ago,
with the acquisition of the Anglo
American cables, to force the Postal
Telegraph company into position
where it will have to sell out to pre-
serve its own integrity, while in other
quarters it is thought to be due to
the competition to which the tele-
post automatic system in New England
and the Middle West has subjected it
with its low rates and rapid service.
Whatever the controlling cause Of
the innovation which presages an era
of lower priced telegraphy for the
country there is apparent a DISPOSE
ton to make it the subject for con-
gressional consideration, to the end
that still further concessions may be
forced in Difference to the nation
wide demand for a more economical
service.

LAWS INADEQUATE

Scarcely a day passes but in some
court of the counsry pathetic evil
dence is given of the inadequacy of
the state laws for the protection of
young and innocent womanhood.

woman greet the disclosures of the
white slave traffic and the strength
of public opinion against 1t despite
able beasts in human form, unques-
tionably guilty of the crimes, escape
through some technically or suffer
but trivial and farcical sentence.
The law, in short, has not been
able as yet to truly represent public
opinion on this subject or inflict the
punishment, which in the minds of
the majority, such offenses demand

Conditions have just reversed them
selves in this country within the past
ten years. A decade ago Mr.. Dooly
was buying horses here and shipping
them through to North Dakota and
as far us St Paul. Within the past
five years he has been buying horses
in Wyoming. the Dakotas, Montana
Idaho and Oregon for the Yakima
valley. The development here has
called for an exceptionally large num-
Der. The Yakima horse market right
now is good as is also the coast
market, according to Mr.. Dooly, but
he says, the difficulty is in obtaining
suitable animals for the needs. He
was able to obtain, however, two car
loads which passed his critical in
spection and which are now here.
