by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and is still one OF the feature
events on the programs of all athletic
contests. The caber is a long section
OF tree trunk, tapered SO that it is no.
dceably smaller at one end than at
the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing it raises
the pole to vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws 1t into the air and away from
him. He must make the large end of
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such way that the small end will
describe half circle. The prize goes
to the man whose caber, having been

on the ground with it's smaller end
farthest away from the throwing point.

Deputy Sheriff Finds
Carload of ''Un0."

Deputy Sheriff Harrington, Monday.
discovered whole great big car
load OF beer-125 barrels and big
barrels too, He opened one and
searched in its depths and there
were the little brown bottles all labeled
and capped and waiting for the opener.
Sheriff Harrington shook one. 1t siz-
zled and the foam came to the top. 1t
was "Uno.'' All day Monday, he stood
in the ear, and with the aid of a car
penter opened every barrel and examined
it's contents. When he was convinced
that it was within the per cent. law
he allowed it to be hauled to the estab-
lshment of the Eureka Bottling Co.. TO
whom it had been consigned. When
darkness crept into the corners of the
great refrigerator car it told the day
was over Then the car was locked and
the deputy went home. Tuesday, he will
begin his task again, and If what il
found is no different than what has
been examined, all we'll and good, but if
it fails to pass muster then to the con-
traband rooms it goes.

as to the substitution of timbers in

which was reached shortly after mid

A eeaasr. on Horsebaek.

At banquet in Washin gton. Febru-
ary 4. 1911. William M Wood. presi-
dent of the American Woelen Company

IF all the schedules of the tariff
We're as well balanced as Schedule X
(wool and woolcns, it would be the
most remarkable document. next to the
Constitution Of the United States, that
the human mind has eyer produced"
This is the same Mr.. Wood who
practically dictated the "indefepsibIe''
wool schedule of the Payne Aldrich
act. which he euiogized as above: the
same Mr. Wood who when the tariff
board. in 1911, suggested a revision of
the wool schedule. said that no change
could be made in that sanctifed enact
ment without shaking American indus
try to its very foundations.
Is it the same Mr.. Wood who now
says of the new tarIff that his only an
xiety is TO see it effective SO that he
can get at" his cornpetftors; who be-
lieves that after adjustment to the
new conditions the Americans Wooden
Company will be able TO compete with
similar manufacturers abroad" and
who rcjoices as strong man ready

trust that needed the help Of the most

may have been the wool growers.
whose activities declined steadily I'M
der that memorial instrument Possibly
it was the employees Of the trust, whose
wages in the main are so beggarly that
charity must look after many Of them.
In any. case, if this is the same Mr..
Wood, now. that public aims are to be
withheld from him, there is 2 confess
sion that he never needed them and
can get along very well without them.
1t was the other fellow who had TO
have help, and the other fellow feels
today just as Mr.. Wood does.--New
