the good, and sendeth rain on the
just and on the unjust" Matt 5:45.
In the Puget Sound country the
seasons are so short and the nights
SO cool that corn will not mature,
and If some one should plant and
fail, knowing conditions, he does
not blame the Lord. He simply
says II am not in the corn belt
So we are here in the heart of the
"great American desert which has
always been subject to dry years
since we have known anything about
it from history, and this is n of
the very dry years and there will
be others after this one.
Then what is to be done? Make
the very best you can of an embar-
assing and trying situation. Think
of the blessings we have rather
than of those we do not possess.
And do not commence with money,
but blessings too high and sacred
to be bought with gold, liberty, civil
and religious freedom, educational
facilities, a rich literature, the open
Bible, improved machinery, facili-
ties for travel and mans humanity
to man, for since the dawn of his
tory mar never thought so much of
or did so much for his brother as
now. EDWIN r. BROWN.

New York, Sept. 6.-The an

greatly reduced crop estimates by

ASK CHANGE IN MUsKRAT LAW
Senator David Introduced Bill in Leg
islature to Shorten Season

Senator David introduced Bill in Leg
islature to Shorten Season
Senator David introduced bill in
the Legislature last week to change
the legal season for taking muskrats
in Delaware. He claims that the
present season is too long and a
shorter season would give the "marsh
rabbit" some protection from extinc-
tion and also would mean a better
quality of fur. The muskrat industry
has become very extensive in parts of
the State where marshes abound. and
some hunters for the busy little an
imal net more than a thousand dollars
a year from their muskrat crop, while
the dealers in the pelts also make a
big profit. The hides have sold as
high as ninety cents apiece. In the
eastern end of Senator David's dis
trict the muskrat industry is impor-
tant and lucrative to some of his con-
stituents. The present open season
is from November 20 to March 10,
Senator David proposes to change the
opening of the season to December l.
and to end it about the first of March

ant, is one of the claimants to the
ground as an inheritance, and in lead
ing a movement to litigate the claim.
Among the evidence which is to form
part of the claim is Dutch Bible,

Belts, in which are number of names
in Dutch and some of the later names
written in English. Both the names
of John Van Tilburgh and Annie K.
Jang are written there, with 1715 is
their birth dates. The Bible is ex-
pected to prove link in establishing
the Belts relationship with the Van

EXPLORATIONS OF
 SOME OF STATES WARDS

Deputy Sheriffs Powers and Perry arrived in Phoenix last evening with two insane prisoners. The one that Powers arrested gave his name as John Daniels, and claimed that he was owner of 10000 acres of land in the Salt River valley, half of which he had planted to a very superior brand of sauerkraut and the rest to dOughnuts. The last named crop had not done very we'll he told Sheriff Jeff Adams. as he had taken the holes out of them before planting, and they did not take root. The man car ried a large beer bottle and tried to make his captors believe that it was a special brand of seed that he had imported from China.
 Perry's prisoner was an escaped in mate from the state asylum, and was found nine miles out in the desert near Gila Bend, and when captured refused to walk back, so the deputy was forced to place the man on his horse and foot it back himself. This man is known as A. Studebaker, and suffers from cataleptic seizures, and when found was busilY engaged in building houses for Daniels. Evidently he had been in telepathic communica- tion with his fellow prisoners. He told the sheriff that he escaped while a Chinaman was being executed for attempting to murder him.

 dent Occurred at TAG o'clock this morn ing according to the accepted testimony of the little aeroplane clock as it stopped by the shock of the wreck but which was other wise undamaged, two hours and forty-one minutes after the army officer started from San Diego on one hundred and forty-five mile flight to Los Angeles.
 Lieutenant Parks. who had been de- tailed recently from the Fourteenth cavalry to the army aviator corps. was trying an experimental long distance aerial scouting trip and had travelled approximately one hundred and eight miles when he was killed.
 The machine was brought to earth because he lost his way in the morning mists, and merely made a series of short leaps down the clodded slope of the hill When he tried to start again in the crash that followed quickly the heavy radiator crushed his head killing him almost instantly.
 Little girls on their way to the Olive school, one quarter of a mile away, were among the mortified spectators of the tragedy. Lieutenant Parks had but a moment before warned them to get away from his machine and laughingly added:
 You might do something to it and cause me to be killed.

BIG METEOR SEEN

 policemen, neWspapermen and the reg ular night owls were treated to a spec tacle in the northern sky this morning al about 1:35 when a shooting star of more than ordinary brilliancy passed over the city. The star shot out of the blacllness about half way up to the zenith due north and travelled in a long arc toward the east. The head was a tenth as large as the face of the full moon. The trail was of a beauti- ful violet hue, alternating with bursts of bright red, seeming to proceed from the head. A full second or even more was occupied in it's visible flight when without a sound. it burst much as a rocket would into a dozen glitteriTg fragments. The train and the pieces were visible for quite an appreciable length of time after the main brilliancy had been dissolved in the darkness. It is seldom that so beautiful a sight is witnessed outside of a pyrotechnc display, and owing to the length of time the aerolte took in it's flight, large number of people had an OppOr- tunitV to view it.
