farmers of this country have never
had anything but lean years.

think that it takes the product of

circuit judge eats up all we earn in
township in a year. Is not he a
monstrous eater? Is it not time we
tried to look into this matter and see
if we could not get some man who
would eat less? It costs too much to
board that kind of cattle. Think of
what you are getting for your prod

justice or right in all this?
No reform is possible within the
existing parties. >, History has proven
that no reform was ever yet worked

movement I said I would seek to ac-
complish these reforms inside of the
Republican party if I can, outside of
it if I must. But that salary grab,

have been voted-that is the word
ever since was 21, and now I am
going to vote; that is the difference.
I have been led up to the polls all
these years like cattle, and have been
voted. Now, in Gods name, let us go
to voting. When you do that you will
make the "fur fly" When you decide
that you will do that, you will see
more than one fellow around with
hayseed in his hair and in his clothes.
My advice is simply this; to vote as
farmers. Did you ever stop to think
that you had three-fifths and a frac-
tion over of all the votes in this state?
Yet, with all that numerical superior
ity, what have you done in electing
men to office to protect your inter-
ests?

Praise for Norway Maple.

When the ordinary man thinks of
shade trees, he thinks of naples as a
matter of course, and some of the ma
pies may be included in list of shade
trees that have attractive flowers. The
Norway maple is the one which | shall
mention as being especially worth rec
ommending. 1t is a very cosmopolitan
sort of tree, for in spite of its name
its grows all over the European CONT
nent and thriyes just as we'll here as
at home. The flowers, which open be-
fore the leaves, are greenish-yelloW,
and arranged in compact, round clus-
tiers The Norway maple is handsome
all the year through and bears the
hard conditions Of city unusually well,
Moreover, it grows better at the sea
shore than most Of our native trees

 1t is also reported that bears and foxes have been creating much dam af'e to the reindeer herds in the vicin- ity of the Foothills and Elikatarik. Natives st the latter point assert that a large number of reindeer fawn have been killed by foxes during the spring. As the law protects the foxes, the ma tives ara in something of q quandary. being loath to h,'eak the law by Kill ing the animals.

FINDS WORKABLE PAYsTREAk
IN lNMACHUk LAVA

The old m:iXium. Gold is where
 you find it." is forcibly eXemplifed by the statement of recent arrivals from the lnmachuk section that a gold strike made in the great lava deposits along the Inmachuk River. It has been
 claimed for years that lava was one of the terrestrial elements in which gold in never found. at least in work
 able quantities but tlGs theory is somewhat upset by the Inmachuk find,
 which, it is claimed is not only a case of gold in association with lava but
 also in sufficient quantities to mine.
 Dick HoGendorn, a widely known mining man of the kotzehuc sound section is the discoverel. of the uniuua
 find and the ground is located on a bench off No. 3 below Hannum creek on the nmachuk Tha gold is found in what appears to be a conslomerate
 of dEsintegrated lava and volcanic ash. Close investigation has failed to dis close any sign of gravel or other stream alluvium. The deposit is
 said to pan as high as ten cents and Is easy to handle. Hogendorn has done sufficient development work to ascertain that it. can be proftably
 mined and is preparing to inaugurate e systematic operations. The gold
 bearing material is said to he neither under or over theNava but actually in | it. Tn the opinion of some who have
 examined it. the pay dirt is lava ma tertal that has decomposed. Others
 are of the view that it is slide material in which the gold has been caught Tha complete absence of any form of
 gravel, however, seems to point to the
 gold not having had it's source in some ancient stream channel.
 As the lava flowed over the coun- | tiy from nearby crater it spread | over q wide section of the Inmachuk | valley. covering the stream gravels with q vast cTN0t of stone. Numer- ous efforts have been made to sinl, through the lava blanket to the gravel
 beneath, work done near the edge of the deposit having shown that the
 buried gravels contained prospects. During the past year H l.. Stull l.
