Some industries employ con
siderable labor while tjie capital
invested in plant is nomiual.
Other industries require large
capital and employ few. To il
lustrate the point in view visit
a flouring , mill and , a steam
laundry. There are several in
dustries that could be. operated
here with , comparatively small
capital that would add material
ly to our weekly pay rolls.

There is yet time to organize
a canning factory, and have it
reat'y, to handle the coming
crop. A canning plant would
furnieh a home market for all
the peas, beans, and small fruits
this valhy produces. Anything
that will furnish a cash market
should receive the .co-operation
of every business man and farm
er in this valley. Now is the
time to Wgia the foun .alion
work for such an enterprise.

among members of the Grant monu

with the care of the granite pile. Al
though f only seven , years; old, the

of serious erosion, while leaks jreoeuu
ly discovered in he dome have caused
spots of discoloration .on the decorat

A waterproof preparation of paraf

whole pile will be later treated in the

on a slight grayish tint but ' this will
decrease gradually. "
Poverty and Grime
Krom the Lewiston Journal
Elevea thousand six hundred and
sixty deaths, of such a nature that In -res
ligation was deemed neoeasary oc
curred in New fork City daring the
year 1904, according to statistics just
complied at the recorder's office, Of
this number, 5399 bodies were burled
In the Potter's field, 317 going to un
marked graves, never having been i-
dentifled. The problem of the social
evils has important relation to these
data. . It Is -unspeakably significant.
while wages are high and skilled work
ere scarce, that there should yet be so
large and so menaoing a oontigent of
poverty and crime. Until we have
better tenement-houses, less spoils in
polltios and efficient Industrial educa
tion, weahall nurse poverty and crime
by bad or by inapt institutions, for
which soclaJJste" ranting In saloons
continue to Impeach all society for its
want of social compunction. In oor
jadameot the problem of foreign : im
migration adds no little to the per
plexities of the situation .
