DR.. Rainolds In Charge.
DR.. Rainolds became the leading
spirit in the actual making Of the new
Version. Perhaps more than any 9th
er man he is entitled to the honor of
the so called King James version. The
fifty -four scholars and divines chosen
for the task were divided into six
groups, and certain part Of the work
was allotted to each. To Rainolds
and his associates were assigned the
prophets. But the leader was not
to see the completion Of the task. Dr.
Rainolds died in 1907, three years be-
fore the translation was finished.
. Two Of the groups worked at OK
ford, two at Cambridge and two at
Westminster. For the most part their
task was not so much translation as
comparing and editing. They selected
from all the versions already made,
and so wisely and conscientiously were
the selections made that the result has
stood the test Of the centuries. They
did not confine themselves wholly to
the Genevan. Tyndale. Coverdale and
other English versions, however. They
employed Luther's German translation
as we'll as the original Greek and He
brew. They sought for clear and SIM
pie renderings in strong Anglo-Saxon
words. Many Of the happiest and best
phrases were their own.
With the possible exception Of Lu-
theirs there has never been a transla-
ton of the Bible in any tongue that
has received such praise or exerted
such influence. It has been the most
widely circulated book in the history
Of the human race. For 300 years It

A novel game expedition mas left
New York for East Africa, the men,
beers Of which intend to capture wild
animals alive and transport them to
this country to turn them loose in the
arid plains of the southwest and In
the ranges of the Rockies, where it is
hoped they will breed game for the
sportsmen Of future generations.
Major Frederick Russell Burnham Is
the leader of the expedition. He for
merly held commission AZ major IN
the British army and was chief of
scouts under Lord Roberts in the Boer
war. He was born in America and
has never relinquished his American
citizenship. Other members Of the par

American sportsmen will be able to

Rockies, stalk the gemsbok on the arid
plains Of Arizona or take pot shots

Major Burnham asserts that his own
interest In the expedition is purely
patriotic.
Though 1 have held majors COM
mission in the British army" he says,
II have always retained my American
citizenship, and I intend to devote the
remainder Of my life, IL need be, to an
object which I believe will be largely
beneficial to the country-to plant In
the waste places Of the west and south
west herds Of game and food animals
which shall take the places Of the near
" extinct bison, elk and other native
game.
1--WE shall import chiefly the ante
lopes, of which Africa has hundreds OF
varieties, most Of which can be adapt
ed to one part or another Of America.
There Is the dikdik, for example, the
smallest Of the deer family. 1t stands
less than a foot high and weighs from
six to ten pounds. The flesh Is de-
licious, and the hide tans into leather
as fine as kid.
Many Suitable For America.
AT the other extreme there is the
giant Gland, largest Of antelopes.
weighing sometimes as much as 1900
pounds. The Gland can 60 far from
water and would stock many an arid
range in the west If it had chance.
The klipspringer, another antelope, not
unlike the channels, would be perfectly
at home in the Rocky mountains.
Then for the swamps of Louisiana and
Texas the waterbuck and reedbuck
would be perfectly adaptable.

Iity in her particular line was com
mended by the masters of the pro-

EARLY WINTER IS PROPHESIED
Indications That Cold Weather Will
Set in Early.

Washington, September 15.-1t is
time to take off the sleeveless and
kneelength ones and get the heavy
ones out of the moth balls.
According to unofficial weather
prophets all over the country sum-
mer has ended and winter-an early
and hard winter-will soon be up
on u.s.
This forecast is based on the chirp-
ings of the katydid, which, as all
old timers know, has the weather
bureau left at the post as a prophet
of cold weather.
The katydids began their chirping
early this summer, and this can mean
nothing-say the weather-wise-bu
that cold weather will come earlier
than usual.
Straw hats will officially be rele-
gated to the ash can on Friday, &C
cording to ancient usage.

TO TEST ELWELL LAW

jectionable assessment has been ov-
ercOme. @~}.
The time is coming, however, when
there will be a divergence of opinion
as to whether the road should be
built. Some farmer will object to the
assessment on the ground that he is
not benefited and is in fact being
taxed for public and not a local
Improvement. 1t is conceded in sew
eral quarters that under the supreme
court decision in the case of Albert
H. Sperry against A. Flygare that the
farmers opposing such an assessment
can knock out the bill.
The significant fact now is that the
state highway commission has re-
Trained from asking Attorney Gener-
tionality of the law. 1t has been in
timated several times that a confer
ence would be held between Senator
Elwell, Trainer of the bill, Attorney
General Simpson and George w. Coo
ley secretary of the highway COM
mission. Mr.. Cooley is now in Seat
tie, but it is stated on good author
ity that the CONSTITUTE onality will
not be put up to the attorneys ener-
ais Office directly.
Whether State Auditor Iverson will
raise the point when called upon to
draw the warrants paying the states
share of the road improvements un-
der the act is not known. At pres
ent state officials do not care to dis
cuss the measure, except to say that
in general it is a good measure, but
in it's present shape subject to num-
Der of abuses.
In the meantime the Northern
Minnesota Development league is 60
ing forward on it's road program I'M
concerned as to the constitutionality
of the act. A number of the state
officials would like to see the act test
ed, and believe that such a test is
bound to come before any progress
can be made.

OIL DIVIDENDS ARE $752,ooo,ooo
Last Payment Of Old Standard Oil
Made to Stockholders Today.

New York, Sept. 5.-Stockhold-
ers of the old Standard Oil Company
today received checks representing
the last dividends that will be dis
burSed by the great corporation. I'm
der the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States Or
dering the dissolution of the COM
pany the old organization must be
broken up before the end of the year.
Consequently the final dividend for
the year will not be paid by the old
company. In the dissolution OF the
parent concern the stockholders are
to receive stock in the subsidiary
companies equivalent to their hold
ings in the old corporation. 1t is not
considered likely that the stockhold-
ers will suffer any loss Of income
with the change in organization.
Since the organization of the
Standard Oil Company in 1882 down
to the final dividend paid today the
stockholders have received dividends
amounting to the enormous sum of
$752, 100000. For the past eight
years the company has paid to the
holders of it's $100,OOO,O00 of stock
an average of $4O,OOO,OO0 per an
num- In 1900 and 1901 it paid $751;
100000, and in the year following
$45,0O0,OO0. The dividends, how
ever, were much less than the total
earnings. The original value Of the
property has been increased greatly
by the reinvestment of a large share
of the earnings for the extension of
it's business and the acquisition of Sc
curities.
Although the Standard Oil Com
pany never issued an annual report,
or made other returns regarding its
business further than publication of
it's dividend, investors never lacked
confidence in it's ability to pay divi-
dends, and the high rate maintained
made the companys stock sell at
from four to six times it's par value.
The highest price ever reached was
in 1901, when it was paying 4S per
cent per annum The stock then sold
up to $S42 share.
