The total number of sheep to be al-
Wed on the Mount Ranier forest re
serve during the coming season, under
the recent order of Secretory Miton
coc'f, will be 250,000. This number ia
practically the same as in previous
yet rs. Last year 260,000 were allow
ed on the reserve.
Cattle and hones are, also, to be al-
lc wed on the reserve, the number ot
cittle being limited to 5,500 and of
horses to 1.000. These figures are
taaed upon the number of cattle and
lorees that have been estimated as go
ing on the reserve heretofore.
Each man desiring the privilege oi
the range must make an application
which, when approved by the depart
ment, will entitle him to a certain
part of the reserve.
Each permit to graze win contain a
qualifying clause, which provides that
those accepting the permit will pay
such charges, per head, for their anim
als as the secretary of the Jinterior may
hereinafter decide. According to pre
vious suggestions and recommenda
tions, the secretary is expected to favor
a charge of 2 to 4 cents per head for
sheep and 10 to 12 cents per head for
cattle and horses.
The permits which are to be issued
will prohibit Oregon sheep or cattle
gracing on the reserves in Washington.
There has been much complaint regard
ing the invasion of Oregon sheep and
cattle in Washington, ' and it is now
the purpose of the department to pre
vent such invasion in the future ana
to reserve the grazing lands ot Wash
ington for the sheep and cattle men of
tnat state.
Superintendent Shelter recommended
that approximately 250,000 sheep be
allowed to graze on the reserve this
year. His actual figures were a little
less than the number allowed dt ine
secretary of the interior.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS.
Appearanee of Irrvgalerlty 1st the Gen
eral Situation.
Bradstreets' says: Backward spring
weather conditions have figured con
siderably in dlartibutiv trade reports
this week, and in connection with
some weakness in prioes oi leaning
stocks have imparted an appeal anoe of
irregularity to the general situation.
Another of those downward swings
in the prices of agricultural staples is
exhibited this week in slightly lowered
prices for the cereals, partly because
of the bearish sentiment of immediate
supplies and partly because ot the bet
ter than expected government crop re
port, which is taken to indicate a pos
sible winter-wheat yield m excess oi
all records.
Corn and oats have sympathised with
the teaotion in pork products, which
reaction, however, has not teen uni-
ersal, as shown by the fact that lard
is at the highest point reached on the
present boom.
Evidences accumulate tnat active
missionary work in favor of lower
prices for iron and steel is at last bear
ing fruit.
The strength of raw sugar is a reflec
tion chiefly ot the fact that a consider
able shortage is looked for in the sup
plies ot cane sugar, not only in isuba,
but in the far East.
A alight upward swing in cotton is
to be noted this week, and Southern
mills have advanced prioes. On the
other hand, while the mills are active
on old orders, new business is reported
of smaller volume.
Wheat, inluding flour, shipments lor
the week aggregate 2,896,653 bushels,
gainst 3,836,936 bushels last week.

Our Relations to Others.
We are not Robinson Crusoes, living
each one on his own little island alone.
There are other people and they are all
about us. Their lives touch ours on
many points and their interests inter
lace with ours. In seeking to live out
our own life to its utmost, we soon be
come aware ot limitations caused by
duties to others. In a sense, the whole
world has its claim upon us; and there
is no man, woman or child anywhere
whom we are not to consider, to whom
we are not a debtor. The law ot love
to our neighbor leaves nobody out. The
wounded man by the wayside, whoever
be may be, we must not pass by. This
relation to others is one which must be
considered in every true life. We may
not think of self only, ignoring the
whole world and devoting all our
thought and energy to the culture of
our own character, the making of our
own career. Forwaid.

A gigantic mnshroom, weighing
three pounds, was recently found in
Sonoma county, Cal. The top was 40
inches in circumference, and the stem
11 inches long and two inches thick.
Competent suthorities state that
South America has greater undeveloped
resources than sny other section of the
world. Any crop grown elsewhere can
be duplicated there, and the country
abounds in mines of coal, silver snd
gold, most of which have only been
slightly developed.
Bquirrols are numeros in Madison,
Wis. They are so tame that they sit
on the park benches besides the human
sojourners, snd they are often seen
dodging the trolly cars. There is an
unwritten law that they must not be
harmed by any one, and even the boys
respect this law.

"Dr. Hartman:
"Dear Sir Pe-m-na has been my
salvation. It haa given me buck a
beautiful voice, a gift of Go 1; . it has
brought me once more to my old pro
fession. I can talk now, and slug,
where before, I could scarcely whlHier.
Can you wonder at my delight? I wish
every person who is suffering as I suf
fered might know Te-ru-na. Only
those who have been afflicted oan ever
know the intense satisfaction and grati
tude that comes with a coinplote cure.
My voice was completely gone. April
15 I felt so elated over the restoration
of my voice that 1 inserted an adver
tisement in Ths Star for vocal pupils.
The advertisement, which cost me 65
cents, brought me five pupils, and that
was the neginuing of my present large
class. Yours gratefull,
Annie Wyandotte."
