THE MOST FAMOUS CAVERN IN AM E RICA The most famous cavern In America Is Mammoth cave, in Kentucky, write "Niksah" In the Chicago Dally News. Mammoth cave was an old Indian ref uge, and the Rlory of redskin adven tures Is written plain In the skeletons, tomahawks and reed torches that have been found In the cavern depths. Then, In ISO!), a white man, a pioneer hunter, followed a wounded bear Into the mouth of the great cave, aud from that time on Mammoth cave became in American estimation the eighth wonder of the world. Almost as soon as the white man discovered the cavern he bopiu to make practical Use of It. Lonn before the era of Indian possession hats hud lulmblted the cavern halls and In the course of time their skeletons had. ac cumulated on the floor, especlully near the entrance. These skeletons, containing nitrate, played nn Impor tant part In the war of 1812, for nitrate, so needed for making explo sives, was scarce In the colonies and the Mammoth cave became the main Source of supply. When the country settled down to a period of comfortable prosperity, Mammoth cave became, even more than It Is today, a great show place of America. The cave's history Is told In the names of the various rooms nnd galleries. Jenny Llnd and other artists vlRlted the cave and sang or played the nlrs that had made them famous In "Ole Bull's Concert Hull" or other envern corridors. In a room since named "Booth's Amphitheater," Edwin Booth was Inspired to declaim some of the lines of Hamlet before a small nnd select audience. FIND UPAS TREE VALUABLE Natlvei of Java Procure Ready-Made Clothing From Its Branches, With Little Effort. One of the strntiKest myths Is that which concerns the "deadly upas tree" of Juva, whose poisonous exhalations were formerly alleged to kill any man or nnlmnl that ventured Into Us neigh borhood. Doubtless It had Its origin In som traveler's tale, for the tree In ques tionrather widely distributed In southern nnd southeastern Asia has no terrors for the natives of these countries, who, on the contrary, find It extremely useful. It Is the only kind of tree In the world that produces read.v tnnde cloth ing. The Inner hark Is a natural cloth, only requiring the removal of the soft cellulnr stuff In order to render It avail able for use. A cylindrical section of It from a small brnnrh will furnish a leg for a pair of trousers or nn arm for a coat, while from a bigger branch the body of the garment Is obtained. Copyright Acts The first act providing for the copy right of 'jrioks and other publications to the United States was passed 129 years ago. The term of copyright was then fixed at 14 years, with the priv ilege of renewal for 14 years longer. In 1811 the period was extended to 28 years and providing for a renewal for 14 years. For nearly a hundred years after the passing of the first copyright law the protection was ex tended only to citizens of the United States. In England a similar injus tice was practiced upon Americans, al though the British government did permit foreigners to take out a copy right, provided their work was first published In England and the author was at the time of publication any where within the British dominions. International copyright conventions now exist between nearly all nations. The first copyright act In England was passed In 1709, giving protection for 14 years and for the author's life If then living. In 1814 the English law was amended by extending the period to 28 years. Germ of Laughter. Laughter, we are told by all author ities on the human emotions, springs from a sense of satisfaction and su periority In the laugher over the lnughee, If we may coin the word for the occasion. The Paris Rose Houge publishes a hitherto unprlnted essay on laughter by Stendahl, In which the following definition occurs: "What ! laughter? It is a succes sion of pulmonary spasms accompa nied by a peculiar facial expression which Is so famlllnr that I need not describe It and by a plegsurable sen sation ground the chest. "This physical state arises from a sudden Inspiration to compare our own worth with someone else's and resulting In a verdict favorahle to our selves. Laughter thus arises from the sudden recognition of our own superiority." Keep Mind Free From Rust. A rusty tool of any sort Is a poor recommendation for the owner. It Is doubly condemning when that tool Is the master key of life. The weather nnd the carelessness of others may rust tools of steel. Only the Indolence of the man himself can allow the mind to get rusty. It's a mark of senility or premature mental weakness when the mind that ought to be vigorous shows signs of rust. No man of good sense has a right to think he tins reached his limit of usefulness. Each step upward should become the Incen tive to a higher step. As higher ground extends the vision so mental attain ment should extend the scope of a man's Influence. Pennsylvania Grit FOB SALE. Four-fifths of a block In Heppner, three blocks rrom Court House.

WALKER D. HIVES. Dirwajr Gar7 ftoiifwaoV, Work more Produce more Save more But we can't continue increasing our production unless we continue increasing our railroad facilities. The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. Without railroad expansion more en gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter minals there can be little increase in production. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities and so increase production there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads. The nation's business can grow only as fast as the railroads grow.
