It is now announced that the beef trust Is thoroughly organized and will begin operations as. soon as the fall elections are over. Something has already been operating sufficiently to place beef beyond the reach of the most of the poor people In the cities. What will it do when the trust gets in real operation? Stories of the degradation of the nobility continue to crop out. The title, nobility, is a mockery and a farce. What is known as the nobility Is a decayed race. True nobility only may be found now among nature's noblemen, who earn an honest living and realize that they are no better than othsr men who are honest and Industrious. The Seattle Times sends out a marked editorial warning people not to co to Valdes until spring. What ever aso the Seattle Times has to grind, and it Is charged that the Times always has one ready, that pa per may rest assured that the people of this section are not worrying over Valdes. hades or any other foreign sountry.

The ad vancement of science is one of the greatest wonders of modern times. One would not be surprised now at the accomplishment of anything.

So cialists, free-lovers, prohibitionists and Christian Scientists may be placed as prominent among this class. passed beneficial to the settlement of labor troubles, but no law cun be passed that will stand, that will give one class an advantage over another, or to compel any American citizen to sacrifice his personal rights, or labor when he does not desire to do so, or employ men or pay them more wages than he can auord. Laws are often used for oppression, but they should not be passed with that view. THE NYMPHS OF THE CASCADES. By Sam L. Simpson. (Dedicated to the memory of George E. Strong, a brilliant young Journalist, formerly of the Oregonian staff, who, lmaginig that he heard beautiful strains of music and sweet voices calling him, wandered away from a camp in the Cascade mountains while his companions were sleeping and was utterly lost, no trace of him dead or alive having ever been found.) The camp fire, like a red night rose, Blossomed beneath a gloomy fir; When weary men in deep repose, Heard not the gentle night wind stir. The priestly robes high over head Heard not the wild brook's wailing song, Nor any nameless sounds of dread, Which to the midnight woods be long. The moon sailed on a golden bark, Astray In lilied purple seas; And forest shadows weirdly dark. Were peopled with all mysteries; And all was wild and drear and strange xVround that lonely bivouac, Where mountains, rising range on range Shouldered the march of progress back. The red fire's fluttering tongues of flame, Whispered to brooding darkness there, And spectral shapes without a name Were hovering In the haunted air; And from the fir tree's inner shade, A drear owl, sobbing forth his rune Kept watch and mounrful homage paid At Intervals unto the moon. The travelers dreamed on serene, ' Save one, whose brow, curl-swept, I Was damp from agony within; ! Who tossed and murmured as he i slept, The fretful fire-light on his face, Wavered and danced In fitful play, Until the old enchanting grace Of young ambition on It lay. The glamor of the rosy light The heavy lines concealed. And trembling shadows of the night Beyond him, like sad spirits, kneel ed; For his had been the lustress gift Of genius lent by God to fow, The splendid Jewel wrought by swift Angelic art of fire and dow. But like the pearl of Egypt's queen, Twas drowned In pleasure's crim son cup, And lo, Its amethystine sheen, In baleful vapors curling up, Soon wreathed his brain In that dark spell, That has no kindred seal of woo; And phantoms that with Oreus dwell, In mystic dance swept to and fro. Swept to and fro and maddened him With gestures wild and taunts and I Jeers, And waved the withered chaplets dim That he had worn In flowory years; His spirit furled its shining wings, Never ngnln to sing and soar. And wove all wild Imaginings In shapes of horror overmore. The sleeper started, partly raised Upon his elbow, leaned awhile, And deep into the darkness gazed With wistful eyes and brightened smile: "I hear sweet music over there, The mountain nymphs are calling me." He murmured, "How divlno an nlr. "Oh. soul of mine. Is wooing thee." "Coming!" He whispered, and arose, And hi the air first reached a hand, To clasp a spirit? No one knows, Or where he stood can ovor stand And lo. into the heavy night. As led by hands unseen, ho fleil, A Rtartllng figure, clad in white Into the canyons dark and dread. 'Twas years ago. but trace or track Of him has never yet been found, For echo only answered back The hunter's cull and baying hound ; Forever lost, untrncked, unseen, In the upheaved and wild Cascades, , Forever lost, untracked unseen I A shadow now among the shades From some snow -wreathed and shin-; lng peak His soul swam starward long ago. And now no more we vainly seek, The secret of his fate to know. While fires of sunset and of dawn Flame red and fade on many, a height, The myst'ry will not be withdrawn From him, long lost from human sight. And yet I sometimes sit and dream Of him. my schoolmate and my friend. As wandering where bright waters gleam, In some sweet life that has no end Within the Cascades' inner walls. Where nymphs, beyond all fancy fair, Soothe him with siren madrigals, And deck him with their golden hair.
