are in constant use and the third is
about ready, but is waiting certain de-
iveries.

Eugene mine at Moyle, b. c.. was de-
stroyed by fire this week. The plant
was old, had been built a portion at a
time, and is said to have cost nearly
100000. but its value was considered
much less than that. 1t was being
remodeled.
II. S. Stoolfire of Spokane has pur-
chased patent rights for the United

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

That trade Interruptions are not due
to lack of money among consumers is
generally recognized. Consumers, on
the whole, have a larger purchasing
power than ever before, the really Sc
rious feature of the situation being
that money is the cheapest commod-
ty in this country. There is no in
dication, therefore, of a curtailment in
merchandising operations from a
financial standpoint. In many direc-
tions, too, the outlook for improve
ment is becoming pronounced. There
is a general inclination to the belief
that the Pacific Northwest is upon the
eve of an appreciable forward move
ment, both industrially and CONNER
cially, with marked expansion in agri-
cultural activities. Conditions point
to a termination in the demand for
our timber products.
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no change
as to quotations as yet, but the mar
ket is inclined to be weak. At coast
Eggs-Market has declined rather
sharply during the week and it is pre-
dicted that there will be further de-
chnes. Local wholesale price is quot
ed this week at $3.50, with the price
to the producers about 81 less than
that.
Dressed Meats-The situation in
fresh meats is critical one. There
are almost constant advances from
the record prices already established
the condition being based on the scar.
city and top quotations on livestock
and the fact that the quantity OF
meats shipped out of the country has
tended to further curtail stocks.

THE VANITIES OF HUMAN LIFE.
Perhaps l should have written it
the vain things of human life 1 have
been thinking a good deal of the ire
mendous downfall of human greatness
as exemplified in the recent story of
the car and czarine of Russia. Up 10
the present year Car Nicholas II had
more wealth and more absolute power
over human beings than any OF the
mortal kind at present living on the
globe Whatever he said had to go and
his financial resources were beyond
compilation.
AS we all now understand the situa-
ton he is not only robbed of his au-
thority and Invested of his mammoth
wealth, but he is also in danger Of be-
ing decapitated as was Charles l of
England He is a prisoner and entirely
ct the mercy of his opponents in Rus
STA.
Nicholas is also own nephew to
Queen Alexandria of England, her sis
ter's only son. He is likewise own
cousin to King George of England. He
is also closely related by marriage to
the royal family of Germany. His
wife, the czarina, is a granddaughter OF
old Queen Victoria and own cousin to
the emperor of Germany, his aunts
daughter. williams mother and the
Geposed czarina's mother were own sis
ters and both children of Queen VIC
toria and Prince Albert of England.
All this kinship awaited nothing In
their hour of need and disaster. van
lty of vanities!
General Grant was the most honored
man in America when he left the White
House as ex-president. l have beeh
reading lately the story Of his slow de-
cline with cancer of the throat. When
the cancer made itself prominent, the
victim was bankrupt In fortune, through
the consummate trickery of his pusl-
ness mariners, some in New York and
some further south His poverty was
painful.,to consider and his strenuous
effort TO write book to secure money
sufficient to keep his wife in moderate
comfort was a tragic incident vanity
of vanities!

Hoover Puzzles Congress;
Man Has No Politics
And Never Mentions 1t
BY HARRY q. HUNT.

WASHINGTON. d. c., June 30
What is Hoover's politics? Is he Re
publican, Democrat, or what?"
These questions were propounded by
a member of congress who hadn't made
up his mind just how he stood on the
food control bill. Presumably he des:r-
ed the information of the food admins
traitors politics to help him decide
whether he should support or oppose the
bill
Inquiry at Hoover's office disclosed he
hasn't any politics-at least none of
the partisan sort most congressman
glory in.
II guess you might call me a Lib
eral," Hoover said.
"A acknowledgements would come
nearest describing Hoover's politics"
says Ben S. Allen, who has been closely
associated with Hoover for six years
I'm the whole six years I've been with
him I've never before heard him men
ton his politics"
No wonder congress doesn't under
stand Hoover!

Juice of Lemons!
How to Make Skin
White and Beautiful

At the cost of a small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by Squeezing the Juice of two fresh lem
ons into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the Juice through fine cloth
so no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon Juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
sallowness, freckles and tan and is the
ideal skin softener. smoothener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of or
chard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t natu-
rally should help to soften, freshen,
bleach and bring out the roses and beau
ty of any skin 1t is wonderful to

But not the work we love.

His vision sure, that was our all de-

Thy behest
That hoard of priceless lore made mani

What service for the restless hand and
So lavish of the wealth they could i'm

Surely Thy blessed vineyard cannot

AN EXTRAORDINARY FILIPINO
WOMAN

During my late visit to Washington
City I was invited and attended a meet
ing where lady spoke on the women
of the east, notably of Persia and India.
She had travelled with ner eyes open
and she could tell what she had seen.
After she concluded her talk an in
vitation was extended to another lady
present, and she was asked to tell some
thing concerning the Philippine islands.
1t developed that she was the wife of
an assistant delegate from the islands,
and in response to our query she told US
she had a Spanish father and a Filipino
mother. Her husband Gas I recollect)
had q Chinese father and Filipino
mother.
The lady had been a pupil Of the
schools which were established in the
Philippines after American occupation,
and it was most gratifying to hear her
say that these American lady teachers
had been the greatest inspiration of
her life She conversed most freely in
English; was as modest as she was Gull
tivated. and I felt repaid for my effort
to attend the Washington meeting, by
her experiences, so intelligently related
on that occasion.
In one sense these lady teachers who
went over 10 the thlllppihSS eai ~
American occupation were high-class
missionaries. This delegates wife told
us she attended an American school five
years, and it was evident that she had
made good.
Doubtless she was an "apt scholar
and above the average, because she mas
developed into a most intelligent and
capable woman! and her prominence In
Washington City gives assurance that
her standing is also fine in her native
country.
For a long time 1 entertained an
opinion that the United States had
bought a pig in a poke" when we paid
Spain S2O,OOO,OOO in cash and also spent
many other millions in assuming con-
troll of the Filipino population. Moth
ing 1 have seen or read has done more
to make me change this unfavorable

Another Girl Vanishes
From New York Streets;
Parents are Wealthy

NEW YORK June 30.--One more was
added to the list of 500 girls who have
vanished from the streets of New York
since January l when the disappearance
Of Miss Thelma Pomeroy, daughter of
Judge c. w. Pomeroy, Of Kalispell,
Mont, was reported.
Proiting by the proved carelessness
of the New York police who let the
murderer of Ruth Cruger. escape, and
spread the report that she had gone
away voluntarily, the girls friends re-
ported the case to the Newark police,
who sent out the general alarm tonight.
The Pomeroys are wealthy but the
girl sought an independent career,
working as a stenographer. She disap-
peared Tuesday after sending a tele-
gram from the Jersey Central station at
Jersey City, saying she would "be right
