AN OCTOGENARIAN PROSPECTOR
One of the oldest prospectors
and miners ever seen in this sec
tion was here all of last week. He
was Robert Hutchiuson, who set
tied in Jackson county way back
in the 'forties. Mr. Hutchinson
has been a remarkable man, phys
ically, and in his younger days
stood six feet seven inches in stat
ure, and in weight tipped the scales
at 225, and did not fear anything
or anybody. Now, in his eightieth
year, he is hale and hearty, though
a little bowed, while his hair and
beard are white as the driven snow,
giving him a patriarchal appear
ance. The venerable old ban is
a practical miner, has made and
lost fortunes; but not to be dis
couraged at trifles is out prospect
ing, and hopes again to strike it
rich. His son, a young fellow
about 55 years old, accompanies
him. They have an excellent out
fit consisting of wagon and team
and pack animals, and are well
equipped for mining operations.
These boys camp out and , the
senior makes himself useful around
the lodge as well as elsewhere.
They will take in the surrounding
mineral zones hereabouts during
the summer. Courier.

THE NOBLEST GAME, .
There's a limited enchantment, " -
In the stalking of the deer, ,
There's a pleasure bunting tigers,
Which is not unmixed with fear:
There's a thrilling, chilling feeling,
When we hear a warning cry,
In the low swamps of the jungle,
Of the hippopotami.

There is nothing like the spell,
Of a morning by the seashore,
When the clams are biting well.

THE. CAUSE OF THE FAMINE.
India is a country not quite half
as large as the United States, with
four times its population. These
300,000,000 people must be fed
from their own crops, as there is,
relatively, no manufactuung re
sources to buy food with. There
are parts of India with a popula
tion of 1,000 people to the square
mile; and there are millions upon
millions of farm laborers, vagrants,
gypsies, and nondescript classes,
whose means of living, even in
times of plenty, are inscrutable.
In a normal year the country as a
whole, produces a little more food
than is actually necessary to sup
port its people. But the cropa are
dependent on the monsoons the
southwest monsoon is the begin
ning of summer, and the northeast
monsoon in the winter. If these
periodic rains are late, or are in
sufficient in quantity, trouble
comes, and the Bpring and winter
crops of wheat, barley, and pulses
in the north, and of rice and millets
in the south, begin to suffer. When
the monsoons fail absolutely, there
is destitution in the affected dis
trict, and when a persistent suc
cession of failures and partial fail
ures occurs, like that the country
is now groaning under. Since the
first great famine of which there
are records devastated the land id
1770, when 10,000,000 perished in
Bengal alone, India has scarcely
passed a decade free from scarcity
of grain in one district or another.
The .British government expects a
drought about twice in every nine
years, a famine once in every eleven
or twelve years, and a great famine
like the present about twice in a
century.

I. . THE AUTOMOBILE.
' The greatness of the automobile -lies
chiefly in the future, as the
greatness of the bicycle is drifting
into the past. But the newer pro
duct has come to stay. Already
freight lines are looking with ap
prehension at the splendid possi
bilities of the freight-carrying
automobile, and trolley lines are
wondering if automobile 'busses
and coaches are destined to war
against them, as they have warred
against the railroads. Recently
the New York custom house tested
the - automobile's freight-handling
efficiency with impressive results.
For years the carrying service be
tween docks and custom house
had been done by three wagons,
drawn by two relays of three
horses, making six horses in all
and six men. Instead of these, a
single freight-carrying steam wag
on was put on with two men, and
all the work of the old service was
done quite as well with this muck
cheaper force and an hour saved
every day, Experts all agree that
for hauling lumber, coal, stone.
farmers' produce, etc., over reason
ably good road 8, the automobile
insures a saving of from 25 per
cent to 40 per cent, as against horse
and wagon. The movement for a
network of automobile roads over
the land is strengthening steadily.

a. wew-cunceiveu euor t is now malt
ing for a transcontinental highway
on which automobiles and bioyoles
may speed Irom ocean to ocean
under best and pleasantest condi
tions. Uhis is to be a great recre
ation highway for the public, the
expense of building it to be divided
among the benefiting states, coun
ties and cities along the line.
Everything will be provided for
needs and comfort of rider and
driver, automobile inns or club-
houses, rdpair-shops, recharging
stations, etc., and nothing will be
allow ed to interfere with the pri
mary purpose of making this a
great people's highway for self
propelling vehicles the greatest
and finest road seen in the world
since Roman conquerors spread
their marvelous paved ways across
empires. That is the plan, and it
is so well thought of by engineers
and army men that a committee of
some prominence has already been
selected for the furtherance of it.
If you are hunting a home in town or
country, call on J. W. Redington, at the
