THIS WORLD OF OURS:
Written For The Farmer by Owen Burns)

This world of each rolls
 Three hundred times or more, And shows u little wrec Fate strews along life's shore;
 Yet still plans, still plots for gain. Wrtngs wealth and power from others pain.
 Poor, mean contemptuous That stalks the earth its veriest clod.
 And dares assert he looks like God, When in his glass he'll scan
 A face that wrinkles a frown, At honest wants request,
 Or lowers in forbidding scowl, At honor's plain behest
 And hOpes-and hopes, Ahi hopes That he'll escape the toll,
 Vain hope, weak man. remember that Our world will onward roll,
 And saints still die when harlots dance, And success wait-the fool chance;
 See wants despair, wealth's desire. Whip effort through I.fe's torturing fire,
 See Wisdom plan, Knowledge born, And Folly laugh them both scorn,
 See Wrong mount high, and Right fall low. And great men come and great go;
 See creeds and nations rise and fall, While old world rolls through all, And rolling won't give a rap,
 For all we've done all we've said, But filings with her worthless scrap,
 And rolls right when we're all dead.

WOOL GROWERS TO
HAVE NEW HEARING

The wool growers Of the state viii
be given rehearing in the case
brought against the Oregon Washing
ton Railroad & Navigation company
by the state railroad commission, and
which was decided by the interstate
commerce commission recently ac-
cording to advlces received today by
the state railroad commission.
The advices come from the inter-
state commerce commission, and the
hearing will be held in Denver, Sep
tember 16. As a reason for granting
the rehearing the commission says that
to begin with carriers insist that to
apply fourth-class rate to wool from
the state westerly would but reduce
water rates, which are already lower
than what can be said to be reason
able. Another reason assigned is that
certain mills complain that the rate
established on wool in grease as COM
pared with the rate now in effect on
secured wool will practically put them
out of business. An additional reason
is that the minimum prescribed for
loading cars can not be loaded in GER
tain sections, and the original opinion
should be modified along this line

that has tendency to surprise and
niystify those present at an entertain
ment Is presented at the Bligh theater
today, tomorrow and Wednesday only.
This feature has puzzled great scien-
lists and those most interested in
Psychlcal research.
II should not be construed as a dry
lecture on the wonders Of teepathlc
phenomena or as a debate on whether
there is such a science as thought
transmission.
This work. while very mystifylng, is
one Of the funniest, greatest laugh
provoking shows ever on the yaude-
vile stage
While in a semi-conatose or hyp-
Noticed condition Madam Frlmini, the
female member Of the duo answers
questions that have been whispered
into the ears Of the male members

difference what you wish to know Just
