At the End of the Day.
How is it with you at the end of
the day?
Is pride in your heart and is
peace in your breast?
Can you sit in the darkness and
honestlv say
That in all of your acts you have
tried for the best
That if profits have come to you,
little or great, .
No wronged one may think of
you, treasuring hate I
Can you turn at the end of the
day and be ftlad
That no one is poorer for aught
you have done
That no one has reason to curse
or be sad
Because of a triumph that you
may have won?
Can you go to your bed with the
peace in your heart
That is his who has acted the
praiseworthy part?
Can you gaze at the stars when
the silence is deep
And say, as if God was consent
ing to hear,
That no one tonight will be rob
bed of sweet sleep
Because you have won a success
which was dear?
Have you crushed no fair hope,
nor spread grief on the way?
How is it with you at the end of
the day? Ex.
A Church hull of Gaiety.
The latest novelty in religipus
evangelism is the proposal made
by Capt. Theodore Valiant to
establish at AVashington, D. C,
a church in which all forms of
gaiety and gladness will find
favor. In explaining his creed,
Valiant said:
"Music, merriment and smil
ing faces will be important ele
ments of the religion of the fu
ture. As in the olden times, the
Bible days, the men and women
will be won to God from de
pravity and crime. There will
be the dancing women, the cym
bal players, the singers and the
games, just as there were in the
days of Moses and Solomon. The
old hell of the old religion, with
its flaming fires, its dancing
imps in leather hides, its cata
combs of dead hopes and its
fumes of sulphur, is a thing of
the past. It was adroitly em
ployed to frighten people into
the church.
"The church of the future that
will make the most converts for
God's cause and the betterment
of humanity, is the church that
offers its members music and
light and harmless games and
the laughter of joyousness. Blue
laws and fanaticism will find no
place in the religion of the fu
ture." Ex.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY
"Greatest Fruit Country in the
World.' Qrand Future.
C. A. Malboeuf , district freight
agent of the Southern Pacific
railroad, is enthusiastic regard-
ing the future of the Willamette
valley as a fruit country, says:
the Statesman.
"I do not believe that any livf
ing man today can have any
conception Of what this country
will be in ten years from now,'
said Mr. Malboeuf. He continued
"The green fruit crop in Ore-
gon will be the biggest on record
this year, ' ' It appears now thai
it will be twice as large as last
year. The value of green fruit
grown in western Oregon last
year was estimated at $4,825,000
and there is no doubt that these
figures will exceed $5,000,000
this year. There are over 35,000
acres of green fruit in bearing
and more than this not in bear
ing. The average is increasing
at a nhenominal rate. In fiv
years we should be shipping
5,000 cars of fruit. Up to this
date the number has never yet
reached 1,000. The increase is
due partially to the fact that the
old settlers are setting out fruit
and partly because nearly all the
easterners who are coming in
are going into the fruit growing
business. This year in the
neighborhood of 10,000 acres of
apples and pears were planted,
including about 500,000 trees.".
Timber Cruiser is Held. f.
O. M. Stafford, a timber cruis
er, arrested several weeks ago
on a charge of having procured
and assisted in securing false
affidavits concerning timber
claims east of Oregon City, waiv
ed examination before United
States Commissioner G.'H. Marsh
Wednesday morning. Bail was
placed in the sum of $1000, which
Stafford furnished.
Stafford was arrested together
with J. C. Burke. Burke was
before Commissioner Cannon,
Tuesday, and was bound over to
await the action of the next fed
eral grand jury. Bond, which
he gave, was placed at $2,000.
The case of Stafford will be heard
by the next federal grand jury,
whicluwill probably not be call
ed until fall.
It is claimed by the complain
ants that Burke and Stafford
took numerous persons to fine
timber land in Clackamas coun
tv and represented to them that
they were to file on this tract,
when in reality the location of
the filme was several miles away

You in a Good Position
WOULDN'T THIS JAR YOU?
An amusing case of a political
and domestic mix-up comes from
Emporia, Kansas. It gives an
inkling as to how woman's suf
frage might work. The editor
of the Emporia Times is Mrs.
Mary McCreary Parkman. She
is a loyal democrat and has serv
ed two terms as county superin
tendent. Her husband is Har
rison Parkman, Republican coun
ty surveyor, and candidate for
re-nomination. It is one of the
rules of the Times office that Mr.
Parkman's name shall not ap
pear in the paper. When a news
item requires mention of him,
he appears as the ' county sur
veyor." This policy of black
listing her husband in the town
has created much comment, and,
in her own defense, Mrs. Park-
man printed the following edi
torial:
"We havebeenasked frequent
lv why we keep our husband on
the blacklist in the Emporia
Times. Now, ordinarily, what
we do with our husband is our
own business. And it would
seem in all fairness that if we
put up with this man morning,
noon and night we shouldn't
have to be putting him in the.
paper all the time. We and our
husband, like all married people
have our agreements and. our
disagreements. ' We agree on
literature, religion, art, the nebu
lar hypothesis, the proper meth
od of poking the fire, the value
of breakfast food as a brain build
er, paving, municipal ownership
and the facts in the Gunness
case. But we disagree on poli
tics. We think our husbaud has
a good deal of sense for a mere
man on lots of subjects; but on
politics he doesn't know much.
He is a Republican a black Re
publican," a, mean black Republi
can, and as such has no claims
on us either as a moulder of
public opinion, as a fellow-citizen,
or as a wife. We will cook
for our husband, we will darn
and brush for him, and keep
him up as our husband. But
as an office-holder of a vile, venal
and corrupt organization, an
emissary of Wall street and as an
oppressor of the poor, our hus
band has only our unspeakable
contempt. He should thank his
lucky stars that we do keep his
name out of the Times.
"We know enough of our hus
band, should he attempt to press
this matter too far, to make his
vote in this election little more
than scattering. But up to the
present we have said nothing.
We have believed that our duty
as a wife had some claims on our
duty as an editor. But a word
to the wise should be sufficient,
and if our husband has learned
a lick of sense from .past experi
ences with us, he will take a
grand immortal tumble to him
self and call off his dogs. This
newspaper is a free and untram-
meled organ of special privileges
to none and equal rights to all,
and if our husband thinks he
belongs to the privileged classes
he is mighty badly fooled.
'"We think a good bit of our
husband, first and last, and in
: one way and another, but we will
j permit of no foolishness from
I this Republican county surveyor,
j He is a bad lot and we withhold
; certain matters in this affair, on
account of the respectability ol
the parties concerned." Ex.

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Canvention l be Held Tuesday,
August 11th, in Portland.
"Good Roads" seems to have
become in recent times the sub
ject of general conversation
when a group of citizens get to
gether. During the last two
weeks there has been more
discussion of good roads among
people genei ally than there has
about the great political cam
paign that is before us. When
dairymen get together they dis
cuss good roads; it is the same
with fruit growers, while auto
mobile owners have become ver
itable cranks on the subject.
An insistent demand, coming
from every section of the state,
has been made upon the Port
land Commercial Club to call
some character of representative
meeting to discuss a practical
plan" whereby all Oregon may
have better highways. Presi
dent Newell, of the State Board
of Horticulture, has written to
the club asking that action be
taken without delay; a similar
request also comes from Hon. J.
W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food
Commissioner, on behalf of the
dairy interests, and the bankers
of Portland and other cities and
towns of the state are of one
mind on. the subject. Many of
the cities throughout Oregon are
building high class, hard-surface
pavements, and everywhere you
go you find men talking "Good
Roads."
As a result of all this it has
been determined to hold an "Or
egon Good Roads Conference"
in convention hall (6th floor)
of the Portland Commercial
Club, Tuesday, August 11th,
with morning, afternoon and
evening sessions No interest
in the state seems to be more
anxious to have a part in devel
oping the good roads sentiment
into a realization thaTi the rail
roads, and as a result a rate of a
fare and a third has been made
for this meeting. Tickets will
be good the day before and the
day after the meeting, so that it
may be extended over the sec
ond day if necessary. f
An-interesting program will
be prepared, but there will be
no long-winded speeches prac
tical men will be secured and
practical questions discussed.
The good roads associations of
Oregon and, Washington will be
asked to co-operate in making
the meeting a success. The
basis of representation will be
announced within a few days,
but all commercial and industri
al bodies, county judges, county
commissioners, editors and may-,
ors, will be authorized to appoint
delegates and urged to have a
good representation present.

DIFFICULT BATH.
Exciting Ti trio In the Dead Sea and tha
River Jordan.
It is well known that the waters
of the Dead sea are much heavier
than those of the ocean. This i
due to the great amount of salt held
in solution. A few years ago Mr.
(now Sir) Gray Hill of. England
made a trial of swimming in , the
eea and then in the Jordan to com
pare the two. He tells the result
in his-took, "With the IJedoulns:"
Many tourists while at Jericho
bathe in the Dead sea and the Jor
dan, and for very Ehame I could not
pass by without doing so. But my
experience was peculiar. I had with
me one of the Jericho sheiks and
one of the muleteers, and we rode
first to the Dead sea. Its waters
are generally perfectly still and of .
a splendid blue color, but now,
owing to the storm, they were very
rough, the waves ran high and for
some 200 yards from the shore were
of an uglv brown.
I looked askance at it as I un
dressed, but felt bound to go in.
The wave's very promptly knocked
me down and filled my mouth, nose
and eyes with their strong brine.
Again 1 tried and again, picking
up one after another of the bare
branches of trees which are carried
down by the Jordan and washed on
to the shores of this strange lake,
with which I tried to steady myself
as I walked in. But the force of
the waves, aided by the great float
ing power of the water, twisted the
branches out of my hands and
knocked me down time after time
until, feeling that I had dona
enough for principle, I acknowl
edged that the victory did not he on
my side and scrambled out, smart
ing most unpleasantly.
Then we galloped off to the Jor
dan, where I thought I should suc
ceed better. So I cast about for a
suitable place to jump in, for 1 did
not like to crawl in ignominiously
at the pilgrims' bathing place, near
which we were and which would
have been the wisest course to
adopt. I wanted to take a header.
So, procuring a long stick, I ascend
ed the stream a little and made
sure by sounding with it of a deep
6pot under an overhanging tree.
In I plunged, intending to swim
down to the regular bathing place,
where I knew there must be a good
bottom for getting out. Down I
came with the fast flowing yellow
flood, striking out in the fullest en
joyment. But when I was just about to put
my foot to the ground I was
brought up sharp with a tremen
dous blow on my right breast. If it
had struck me on the heart it
would, I think, have killed me on
the spot. I had come down on to
the end of a stake pointing up
stream and driven in to mark the
upper boundary of the bathing
place, but which was hidden, owing
to the rains having raised the sur
face of the river. I had some diffi
culty in crawling out again and was
black and blue in the chest for a
month afterward. There is noth
ing like a little experience to teach
one wisdom.
To Tell Age and Birth Montn.
Tell your playmate to think of the
number of the month when he waa
born, January counting as No. 1, Feb
ruary as No. 2, etc. Say he or she
was born in August That would be
No. 8. Tell him to multiply it by 2,
giving 10. Add 5, giving 21. Multiply
hy 50, giving 1,050. Add his age say,
twelve years giving 1,062. Subtract
3G5, giving G97. Add 115, giving 812.
This is the final result, which he must
give aloud. You then without hesitation
tell him he was born in August and
Is twelve years old, because the nu
meral at the left is the number of the
month, and the other two stand for his
age. (
Luminous Beetles.
Our little fireflies are only as a taper
beside an electric light compared with,
luminous .beetles found in the West
Indies and parts of South America. If
you were in a rural district of Santo
Domingo, for example, and should de
sire to read at night you might be sur
prised to have placed on a table by
your side a bottle containing a few
luminous beetles. One of these beetles,
it is said, will emit sufficient light to
enable a person to read small print,
while half a dozen of the little crea
tures will answer the purpose of an
ordinary lamp. ;
