RED CEDAR FOR BUILDINGS
Some of This Excellent Material is Es-
timated to Be Nearly Four Thou
sand Years Old.

1t will surprise many to know that
they have in their homes material es-
timated to be 1900 years old. If the
shingles or interior nnish is red cedar
or If you have red cedar chest it is
possible that the wood antedates the
history of this country by thousands
of years. says the Cleveland Leader.
A Cleveland man is credited with
bringing the first red cedar into this
section. w A. Geist, on q western trip
several years ago, was attracted by the
red cedar forests at Port Angelus
Wash He established a mill there
and began shipping the cedar to the
eastern market. Formerly the south
ern cedar was used in great quantities
but it is the claim Of Mr.. Geist that
the product from the Pacific coast is
growing in favor and the demand for
it is increasing.
1t is a most durable wood and its
use in a home guarantees that moths
and other troublesome insects will not
enter. 1t is used for wainscoting. man
tells, cupboards, cabinets and especially
for chests in which 10 store furs and
ClOtIllg. MI. 1elSG eNEIDliS q quantity
of red cedar cut from a tree he esti-
mates to be at least 500 years Of age.
Three large cedars were found growing
! from fallen log which was five and
one-half feet in diameter The largest
of the three tree growing from the
fallen tree was ten and one-half feet in
diameter BY counting the rings in
/ both trees indicates that the fallen

| Mr.. Geist is an expert upon red
cedar and goes in for the history OF
the wonderful trees OF Washington and
| other coast states as a biographer
would the data upon the life of some
famous man. He surrounds a bolt of
single cedar with an interesting story,
which goes back to the misty ages and
something like reverence grows within
the listener for this venerable work of
nature.
UnquestIonably the red cedar is the
oldest material used in the construc-
ton of the home and few materials
will outwear it. it. being nearly indie

Elixir of Life for Steel

For mankind, as yet. the elixir of
life remains undiscovered: but for
steel it has been found. The element
vanadium, when added in certain pre-
determined and small proportions,
gives to steel the combined properties
Of increased tensile strength. higher
elastic limit and greater ductility.
Strength, toughness, elasticity, united
with freedom from crystalization-
these are the life giving properties
which yanadium imparts 10 steel, prop
critics which raise its endurance to
meet the burdens which are daily in
creasing upon it.

If you have been fighting some blood trouble, some skin disease. call it eczema, lupus, psoriasis. malaria, or what you will. there Is but one sure, safe way to cure it. Ask at any drug store for a xI00 bottle of S. S. &. and you are then on the road to health. The action of this remarkable remedy Is just as direct. just as posi- tive. just as certain in its influence as that the sun rises in the East. It is one of those rare medical forces which act in the blood with the same degree of certainty that is found in all nat ural tendencies. The manner in which 1t dominates and controls the mysterf- ous transference of rich. red. pure arterial blood for the diseased venous blood Is marvellous.
 Out through every skin pore acids. germs and other blood impurities are forced in the form of invisible vapor. The lungs breathe it out. the liver is stimulated to consume 6 great propor- ton of impurities. the stomach and in- testines cease to convey Into the blood stream the catarrhal. malsrial germs the bowels, kidneys. bladder and all lunctories of the body are marshaled into a fighting force to expel every yestige of eruptive disease
 There Is scarcely a community any where but what has its living example of the wonderful curative effects of remedy to-day. and If your case Is stubborn or peculiar. write to The Swift Specific Co. i37 Swift Bld~..

ties in the country. All men seemed agreed upon a fair and spirited trial of the new Constitution. But an oppo- sition had begun to gather form before it's two years term was out; and in the second congress party lines began to grow defnite-not for and against the Constitution, but for and against an extravagant use Of constitutional powers.
 There was still a majority for the principal measures of the administra, tion; but the minority had clearly be gun to gather force both in the votes and in the debates. The reaction was unmistakable. Even Madison, Wash ington's stanch friend and intimate counsellor. who had at first been his spokesman in the house, began to draw back-arst doubted and then opposed the policy of the treasury. He had led the opposition to the bank. and grew more and more uneasy to note the course affairs were taking.

MILL CLOSED;
 NJ DISORDERS
Joseph Muheim Tells of Nae ozari Situation-Also of Quiet in Sonora Attended by Confidence in Future

Joseph NJ. Muheim returned Sunday from visit to properties he has about twenty miles beyond Nacozari, in Sonora. He brought back confrma- tion of report of closing down of the Nacozari concentration of the Mocte. zuma Copper Co
 Al was quiet at Nacozari when we came through, said Mir. Muheim yes terday, with no indication of trouble brewing. The men appeared to have accepted the close down as entirely natural and as carrying no particular significance.
 The future did not appear to worry them in the least. Disturbances of no kind attended the closing to the time we left"
 Cause of the closing of the concel- tratcr was learned by MT Muheim 70 have been due to the walking out of one shift. This shift objected to the foreman in charge and asked for his dismissal The company declned to remove him until there had been thor ough investigation made and cause established to it's satisfaction. The shift refused to wait for this and pending adjustment Of the situation the company decided to close the en- tire mill As matters stand, one shift quit work while the rest of the oper- ating force was laid off. The mine forces may or may not be laid off, pending adjustment of the concentra. tor matter.

Not only had the. war debts of the states been assumed. but a national bank had been set up (1791). as if still further to make the general govern ment sure of a complete mastery in the field of finance. Jefferson and Ran dolph had fought the measure n the cabinet, as many a moderate man had fought it in congress, and Washington had withheld his signature from 1t till he should hear what they had to urge But he had sent their arguments to Hamilton for criticism, and had ac. cepted his answer in favor of the bank.
 Jefferson and Randolph had chal lenged the measure on the ground that It was without warrant in the Consti tuition, which nowhere gave congress the right to create corporations. fiscal or other. Hamilton replied that. be sides the powers explicitly enumer- sted, the Constitution gave to congress the power to pass any measure nee essary and proper" for executing those set forth; that congress was itself left to determine what might thus seem necessary; and that if 1t deemed the erection of a bank a proper means of sxecuting the undoubted financial pow CTS of the government the constitu- tional question was answered.
 By accepting such . view Washing ton sanctioned the whole doctrine of implied powers" which Jefferson deemed the very annuiment of writ ten and explicit constitution. No bounds, Jefferson believed, could be set to the aggressive sweep of congress sional pretension If the two houses were to be given leave to do whatever they thought expedient in exercising their in any case great and command ing powers No man could doubt, in the face of such measures. what the spirit and purpose of Hamilton were, or of the president whom Hamilton SO strangely dominated

THE ELK'S TOAST.

Ho, gentlemen! Lift glasses up
Each gallant, swain and lover
A kiss to Deeds that brim the cup.
A laugh for the form split over
For the soul is aflame and the
hearts beat high,
And care has Embossed its tethcr.
Now drink" said the sage,
For tomorrow we may die"
So let's have a toast together.
Swing the goblet aIoft, to the lips
let it fall,
Then bend you the knee to ad-
dress her,
And drink, gentle sirs, to the
queen of them all,
To the woman'S that good - God
bless her!
A youth is a madcap aud time
is a churl,
Pleasure calls and remorse fol-
lows after;
The World bustles on its pitiless
Whirl,
With its kisses, its tears, and its
laughter,
But there's one gentle heart in
its bosom of white
The maid with the tender eyes
cleaning
Who has all the wealth of my
homage tonight,
w here she lies in the innocent
dreaming.
And a watch over her my spirit
shall keep,
With the angels lean down and
caress her,
And I'll pledge her again in her
beautiful sleep
The woman that's good - God
b esS her!
All, Bohemia's honey is sweet to
the lip,
And the song and dance are al
Turing!
The miScheivouS maid with mutt
nous lip
Has a charm that is enduring!
But out from the smoke wreatheS
and music and lace
OF the world of the tawridIy
clever,
There floats the rare spell of that
pure little face
That has chased away foley for
ever.
And drink my last toast ere
go to my rest
O, fortunate earth to possess her!
To the dear tender heart in the
pure, white breast,
Of the woman that's good-God
bless herl
