Inaaraaca t'ar All lalclaei. Washington, D. C The United states supreme court hag afliirmed the opinion of the circuit court of Appeals in the case of the Knights Templarnd Masons' Life Insur ance company vs Rosa B. Jarmann. The tate involved the validity of the suicide statute of Missouri, providing that suicide shall not be a defense against the payment of a life insurance policy. The decision sustained the law and held the company liable for the amount of the policy regardless of the fact that the policy contained a clause for the invalidation of the policy in case of suicide, "whether voluiv tary, sane or insane." Tha Bail Aaianaklla. Admiral Robley D. Evans re cently took a spin in a hired auto mobile, and as he sped along the thought came to him that he might well own a machine. So he began chatting to the chauffeur, giving his opinion of the gasoline, the air, the electric and ether forms of "auto," and wound up by saying: "And now, my man, you ought to be a judge. What kind of a ma chine would you select?" "Well, sir," replied the chauffeur, "I've often thought it over, and came to this conclusion that if I wanted to buy one I'd save up my money and get a good horse. Hartford Times. Pat l a Ban. Congress has been puttering over the immigration laws a long time without accomplishing much of real value, but it seems now that there is a fair prospect of making such changes in the law as are im peratively needed. Immigration to this country continues large, and, on the whole, the character of the newcomers is more undesirable every year. A large proportion of the im mieranU are from Southern Eu rope, and too many of them are icnorant, vicious and without qual ities that insure their becoming good citizens. It is quite generally W the conntrv is no lone- 6.,- er in need of additions to its popu lation's it once was, and while ' the people seeking a change of nationality are of so undesirable a character, it is quite natural that s there should be a demand for stricter regulations in admitting the refuse from foreign lands. A country with the opportuni ties of the United States will al ways be attractive to Europeans who are crowded into places where there is but scant chance to make a comfortable living. There is no serious objection to admitting wor thy immigrants who wish to be come Americans and become iden . tified with the growth and upbuild ing of the country, but the people of southern Europe who would merely change the squalor of their native land for the low tenement districts and anarchistic hotbeds of American cities are not wanted, and the bars should be put up against them. Spokane Review. Wheat Bran Far Hen. There seems to be a question in j the minds of some as to the advis ability of feeding wheat bran in the daily rations of the laying flocks. Having fed bran to my hens every day for several years, I ain pre pared to give it a hearty indorse ment as a good and profitable feed when used intelligently. I have not found it well to feed largely of it, as it is a bulky feed, and not very palatable. As a rule, hens do not take kindly to it .except in lim ited quanities. The mineral elements in good wheat bran provide the hen with substances required for good health and profitable egg production. To be sure, those elements may be fed in some other form, but bran is convenient and comparatively cheap; besides, it is bnlky and makes a good foundation for the mixed food which most egg grow ers feed at some lim? cfjthe day. My method of feeding it is to use three parts of bran to one part of fine cracked corn, or meal, to which is added the regular fee l of meat scrap. The proportion of bran and meal holds gocd throughout the year, but the amount of meat scrap varies to suit the season and the needs of the flock. At present, six quarts of bran, two quarts of cracked corn and one quart of beef scrap, make up the noon feed tor two hundred hens and pullets. This is ae much the flock will eat up clean, and they are always ready for their "pudding" when dinner times comes round again, I believe that one reason why some feeders have not found bran profitable is that they have fed too much of it. One man of my ac quaintance kept dry bran in a box before his hens all the time, and expected them to lay well on that and one feed of com each day. Because they did not, he condemn ed both bran and hens. Again, one man fed bran and boiled po tatoes as a principal ration, and because the hens did not pay their way he cursed the business and quit . Bran is good, and so is an occasional feed of potatoes, or a daily feed in small quantities; but to expect hens to lay on such feed is as unreasonable as to ask a man to do a hard day's work on the same fare. I began feeding bran in small quantities mixed with other feeds, to my chicks when only three weeks old, and they have had it every day since. They grew well, kept in good health, matured early and are laying well. Yes, they had good care and good feed; be sides they have been bred to lay, but if bran as a part of their .daily feed was detrimental they would not have done this. You need not be afraid that bran will hurt the flock. Feed in moderate quanities and it will help to keep the hens in good health and go far toward filling the egg basket. But remem ber that bran alone won't make eggs. (Enoch C. Dow, Belfast, Maine. .

From Sumpter, Oregon, comes the news that there is good pros pect for extensive railroad building in eastern Oregon next season. The construction of the Sumpter-Bourne Railway as soon as spring opens is an assured fact. Itis claimed that steam locomotives will be used, and that the gauge of the road will be the same as that of the Sumpter Valley Railway. The track will be laid along the banks of Cracker creek, and the terminus will no doubt be the town of Bourne. The building of another line from Baker city to a point near Strawberry mountain is another reported undertaking for the com ing season. This route has been surveyed and laid out along Burnt river coming out into the John Day valley. The builders of the road are the company owning the Ore gon Wonder group of claims on Strawberry mountain. The object is to provide transportation for the ores and other products of the dis trict. The company has been in corporated with a capital stock of $15,000,000 and is known as the Baker City and Oregon Wonder Electric Railway and Improve ment Company. The incorporators are J. W. Bonta, A. A. Hibbs and W. G. Drowley. 'liiiiiiH'iHiii"'"l I t I' I "I 'I I H I H"l "t"'H. ; Annual Christmas Ball ...Given By - Luna Lodge K. of P. and Lncere Temple R. S. : -At.. Glaze's Hall.

Readers of the Portland Journal who had heretofore given little heed to the matter, were startled at an announcement made in that paper Saturday, which was made substantially as follows; "Hun dreds of young girls in the city are in the habit of playing Chinese lotteryl Girls with homes and girls without them; girls with good positions and those le?s fortunate there are who have formed this habit of thus dallying with des truction. Even girls who work in the stores of the city are addicted to the vice. Not in one instance, but in. many, is this deplorable state of affairs known to exist. Managers of the stores of the large sorts of business houses where young women are employed have no hesitation in saying that the practice is common, and on more than one . occasion the agents of these plague spots have by thene same managers been thrownodily into the street, after being warned that cold lead would be the sure result of any further attempts to debauch the women working in those establishments.
