IS not an orator, but he has few equals
in using the English language in clear
and concise form. His speeches on his
recent tour of the middle western

who heard him, but furnished food fo-

over the country. His tribute to the
Stars and Stripes, incorporated into
his Des Moines address, was well worth
preserving, and for the benefit of

THE VOCAL CHORDS
y Howard LRdnn

The vocal chords are long, sinewy
attachments to the human neck which
can be operated so as to produce sat
isfaction IN the choir loft and con
sternation in the pew Every Sunday
morning and evening, all over this
beautiful country, so thickly sown
with political candidates and grip
germs, thousands of vocal chords are
lifted up in song without reaching
the pitch they are aimed at, causing
the music committee to be reyiled in
loud, stentorian tones.
The vocal chords are elastic at both
ends, and when stretched to their full
length produce some very terrifying
effects. 1t is a painful scene to wit,
ness high soprano attempting to
grasp a top note with vocal chord
which is about two feet short of the
required length. No doubt more peo-
pie would attend church if the vocal
chords of the minister could be short
ened so as to contract around a ser
mon thirty minutes III duration. 1t

boiled shirt to maintain interest in a
| discourse which never runs into the
benedietion until half past twelve.

predaina Gold in Arctic.

A novel effect of gold-dredging in
the frozen regions of the Arctic is
future biologists. The stream be-
comes blocked up by the failing heap,
and more or less stagnant pools are
formed along the sides of the gully.
Where the gully broadens two or three
entertainments may be produced, with
muddy pools between them. The mud
is deposited in the sluggish waters,
buries the rocks of the ridges, and
gives morainelike formations that
may be difficult to explain when the
dredging has been forgotten.

The vocal chords are. suspended in
al upright attitude, where the wind
can strike them and draw forth
sweet, muscular music. Some songs re-
quire more muscle than others and put
heavy strain upon the vocal chords
They also put considerable strain up
on people in the audience who know
the difference between an intonation
and defamation. The greatest handi-
cap singer can have is a set of er-
rattle vocal chords which lie down in
the middle of a stirring climax and
taper off into splintered squeak.
The worst enemy of the vocal
chords is hoarseness, which is caused
by catching cold in the interior of the
neck. Instances have been known
where singers and long distance con
versationahsts have been stricken
dumb with hoarseness Just when they
We're getting warmed up for the even
ing, causing n feeling of peaceful Sc
eurity to settle upon the guests. There
would be more happy married men if
hoarseness could be produced at any
time it was wanted.
The vocal chords are all right in
their place, but the trouble is to keen
them IN it.

The immigration Journal is the
name of a monthly magazine which is
to be published in Washington and
the editor viii be Walter w. Husband,
who began his newspaper career as re-
porter on the st. Johnsbury Caledo-
nian and later was editor of the Mont
pelier Journal. Mr. Husband went to
Washington as secretary to Senator
Dillingham;, later was secretary of the
national immigration commission, of
which Mr.. Dillingham; was chairman,
and in an official capacity travelled
all over Europe. After the commission s
work was completed Mr. Husband was
engaged in special work for the de-
partment of commerce and labor, and
just before the war broke out he trav-
eled 5000 miles in Russia, gathering
information for officials in Washing
ton. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who
was on the senate immigration com
mission with Senator Dillingham;, once
paid Mr.. Husband a high compliment
by saying that he knew more about
immigration than any man in the coun
try. For the peculiar field to which the
magazine is to be devoted no mar
could be found better equipped to dis

Mountain Campers.

So it ism to be case of five
acre estate in the government forest
reserve for So. The later reports
show that this very low rate is only
for hunting camp sites, not to exceed
half an acre in size, and that the
other sites will war; in rental accord
ing to their area and still more ac.
cording to their situation, which term
probably will be taken to cover aces
slbllity as well as scenic attractions
AS in the case of some other good
things, there probably has been a nat
ural enough over-estimate of the pos
sibilities offered by the reserve in the
mountains. a good deal of land which
the government has taken undoubted-
ly will prove to be unadapted to
camping purposes, and the other tracts
may be found to be so difficult of ac-
cess as to be practically out of reach
but, even after all these deductions
are made, there will remain very
handsome total of sites which are
available and desirable, and of which
undoubtedly great use will be made
| The towns in that region, which
will serve as natural bases of supplies
for the campers, may justly look for
Ward TO very substantial increase IL
business, growing out of the trade
which will naturally follow the in
crease in the summer population OF
the region. All around, therefore
this measure promises to have good re
suits in making possible wholesome
out of-door life for great numbers OF
visitors and giving a vigorous i'm
pulse to business throughout tht
mountain region. Of course, like any
other new thing, this plan has fea
lures which will have to be tested
in the practical working, but Their,
surely is high hope of its general sue
cess.

Plans are under way for the cleo
trification Of all the Great Northern
railway lines in Washington. The
power will be furnished from pow
er plant costing $4,0OO,0OO, to be
operated at Chelan lake and river.
This is in line with statement of
L. w. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, more than a year ago. At
that time he said that the company
would probably try operating by cleo
trio power following successful ex.
periments by the Milwaukee.
H. G. Wilson, formerly in the feed
business at La Crosse, which bust
ness he sold to H. G. Williams, has
recently organized the La Crosse
Electric Light & Power Co. and has
installed a plan which, when COM
pleted, will represent an investment
of $4,000 to $4,000. A 30 k. w. no.
220 volt D. G. generator will be driv-
en- by two 25 horsepower crude oil
engines, one of which is already in
stalled. The company also deals in
electric lamps, fans and appliances.

General Trade Conditions.

dustry never moved at a quicker pace
than at present, while abnormally
high commodity prices counsel eau
ton lest sudden veering of trade
conditions may come, demand is SO
Unsuitable that buying seemingly will
go on while the European war lasts.
AS yet there is no sign of the satura-

supplies of goods, and, while high

evidence, aside from conservatism in
buying some textiles that have ad-
vanced largely, of the buying move
