SORROW EVERYWHERE The Lure of Unknown La mi The University of PtMuisy ha has just sent out an expedition that is interesting because it seeks to penetrate one of the few remaining corners of the world that have never been trod by the feet of white men. A yacht car rying an exploring party of sci entists and headed for the upper reaches of the Amazon river left Philadelphia day before yester day and will be gone probably three years. Valuable contribu tions to science are expected on its return. The basin of the Amazon has land of mvstery. War Scenes In Mexico City; Sharpshooters and the Slain Professional Cards The past three weeks have brouirht death and devastation to manv sections of our countrv I long been a and awakened svmimthv and j Kroin time to time the world has concern all over the land for! heard vague the death and suffering of those ! beasts and strange savage races stricken, and for those whose homes have been destroyed. The blizzard, the tornado, the cyclone ami Hoods have exacted heavy tolls and left communities in mourning. One calamity has succeeded another in quick succession. The storm at Omaha was perhaps the worst to any one city, where the death list reach es much over one hundred and the injured more than half a thousand. In Ohio the flood has been nearly as disastrous, perhaps quite as many lives have been lost, and many fami lies have had to flee from their homes. In Indianapolis, Indiana, 1500 families had to leave their homes on account of the flood, and many other cities in In diana, and Ohio have felt the desolating hand of the destroyer. While the scenes of destruc tion are far removed from Ore gon, yet there are, perhaps, few people in the state but that have relatives in some one of the sections that have met with disaster, and many anxious hearts are waiting for informa tion of loved ones. Other countries have had and are having their calamities in war or otherwise, and while we are anxious to read and hear of the news it does not awaken the sympathy which is stirred when calamity people. tales of strange uige savage races of men who make it their home, but they have been vague, in deed. Impenetrable fore-ts, fever ridden rivers and lurking savages have kept this country's secrets 1 . 1 a I : .1 inl twifu L unl I horn II I'll uisiress ami ine ti.iiiiui nii" mm w.v ... ...... Hut sooner or later these se crets will be yielded up. One by one the unknown lands have been penetrated by daring explo rers of the white race The dan gers to be encountered have hut made the lure the more resisti ble. The fascination of the un known is stronger than the fear of death. Oregon Register. The Writing on the Wall That within a month after the Pennsylvania railroad had es tablished i t s corespondence school in electricity for employ es, 10.000 men had been enrolled as students, indicates plainly that the average railroad man has read the writing on the wall. He has seen that the steam locomotive must go out and the electric locomotive come in, that the companies are ceasing to con sider the great cost of electrifica tion an absolute barrier to pro gress in this direction, that econ omy of operation will compel the change where public opinion and the pressure of smoked cursed cities have failed to have an influence. The railroad man sees that the man trained to deal with electricity will be the man saveil when the change comes. Toledo Blade. 1 f 1 - v..

Do all you can to help along everyman who is engaged in legitimate business. Do not send away for everything nice you want and still expect the home men to suit the whim of one or two possible purchas ers. The success of your fellow townsmen will be your success. No man liveth to himself uid no man does business independent of his fellow business men. Take your home paper. Do not imag ine that the big dailies fill up all this space. There are many lit tle crevices of good cheer, social sunshine, pesonal mention, in the home paper that the big dai lies do not print. Then do not abuse your neighbors. The main difference in the number of your neighbor's faults and your own is that you see through a magnifying glass as a critic. The ill-omened, the croaker, can do more harm in a minute than two good citizens can repair in a month. Ashland Record. The man who has a good word for his county and state and who picks out and talks of the good traits of his neighbor is an exemplary citizen. One reason we don't yearn to go back to the farm is that when we were there the man we woked for didn't give us time to admire the landscape. .Sunday was a day for Easter lillies, eggs and snow squalls, in Oregon. Sixteen hundred lambs, raised by C. D. Arthur, of Lakeview, Ore., were shipped by Chandler Bros, to San Francisco the latter part of February. The price re ceived at Lakeview was five and a half cents per pound, making the lambs net about $4 each. Rural Spirit.
