ready established liy thu sppeders whirh

races n"xt month, the local track of

time Is made will of course depend on
the condition of the racers and track.
tut Mona Wilkes, the whirlwind little
pacing mare of California, last Wednes
day negotiated a mile In the astonleh-
ln time of 2:03 'i. She also had the
honor of lowering the colors of Sir

beaten on any track
Mona Wilkes made the record
Iy the way. Is the fastest
which,
mile ever
Stepped on the Pacific coast. In the free-
xor-all pace at Banta Hosa, t.ai., on a
track that has never been regarded as
. mora than mediocre. At the same time
the mile was made by this mare in the
first race In which she has appeared
this season.

LUMBER MARKET
Demand From Points East
of Rockies Assumes
Normal Proportions.
Lumber prices are stiffening up a
kit as a result of a rapidly Increasing
demand from points east. Several
mills In the city have their order books
Well filled and refuse business at going
Quotations except for Immediate deliv
ery. They do not want to load up with
cheap business in view of indications
of further advances.
Conditions have improved greatly
.during the past ten days and lumber
Maeaiers are cneercui over the prospects.
I Several buyers have been in the city
firurlnfir on large lots for the TTtnh nrt
Colorado territories whence very little
vuBioum inns originated since Me rrelght
yate advance last October or nearly a
pyear ago.
Local business keeDs im excentlnne.1-
fjy well with no material signs of an
any ituiiiiK on. oningies Indicate a
Blifthtly firmer tone in avmnathv with
khe recovering lumber market and sash
nd door mill products meet with a
good demand, manufacturers having
about all the orders thev can handlA
-without depending much upon eastern
markets. An idea of the number of
rdoors shipped from this part of the
country migni, nowever, be gained from
xne laci mat two plants down the Co
lumbia river alone have been shipping
as high as 600 doors each dailv for
Icome time, a large number of the doors
oing to me Atlantic seaboard.
Loirs have shown no advance durlna-
Ehe past week but the market is cor
espondingly stronger as & result of the
etter lumber market.

DISCOVERY DAT
fTTnlted Press Leased Wire.)
Belling ham, Wash., Aug. 8. .
A. vein of free-milling ore assay
ing from $9 to 116 a ton and
averaging $12, the vein being
1,700 feet wide, at least 700 ft
high and 'the Lord only knows
how deep," is the latest in the
woy of fcibulous mining stories.
The find is reported by E.
Spenopr, an old mining man of
the county, who tflls a thrilling
story of a BeVen-year search for
this claim, its accidental dis
covery by a tumble from a 41
foot cliff and Its fabulous rich
ness. The vein if said to be In
this county on the south fork
of the N"M.ksa-k Hwr.
Spencer fays Le found the
property Julv 23 fin I lie has Just
returned from the scene after
staking out six claims He was
accompanied on Ms trip bv P.llly
Holmes. his partner. and J
Gums, a mining expert from
Nevada
Spencer says the expert has
(icn nn opinion that the six
r-lilms are worth I l.fn'td.nn.i as
tvey Mavl. and witho-it a cent's
worn, of development work hav-
ir.it r'-n in on them.

American Doctor: To what, Doctor, do you attribute the success of the German people ?
German Doctor: To one thing, my dear Doctor, just to their temperance.
American: But Doctor, we think of your people as heavy drinkers.
German: Ah, but the drink is beer. While other nationalities have their wines, whiskies and' vodkas con
taining large percentages of alcohol and very little food value, we stick to our beer with its
nourishing barley and tonical hops and only 32 alcohol.
American: You say only 32 alcohol as though that ingredient were not beneficial.
German: I do not mean it in that sense. We find alcohol has a food and stimulating value when the pro
portion is not too great. The danger is in overstimulation, impossible when the percentage is so
small as in beer.
American: Perhaps the superiority of your people may be due to the superiority of your beers.
German: Don't mistake there. We are strong admirers of your Schlitz Beer. It evidences the care used in
its brewing. Its full rich flavor brings to you the taste of the barley and the hops, so often lost in
the different processes. It has the sparkle and life, too, due to a perfect yeast. The freedom from
geTms shows careful sterilization. The fact that it docs not cause biliousness proves its perfect lagcring,
or aging as you say.
American: That is splendid, Doctor. I have been using Schlitz Beer in my practice, prescribing it where my
patients needed an easily digested food which has some tonic value. EspeciaHy beneficial, I have found
it, after surgical operations where the stomach refused to retain other food. Also in cases where the
patient was not inclined to drink enough to flush the system of its waste.
German: When you Americans generally appreciate these benefits of beer, then may the Fatherland take heed
or your country will outstrip us as we have our neighbors; but good progress to you and the
temperance work of Schlitz, The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous.
