Official Paper of Redwillow County
Senator Millard seems to be putting
his ear dowu closo to hear the people
Among his recent utterances on the
great question now before the American
people aro tho following quite whole
somo words
I believe that all corporations en
gaged in interstate commerce should be
under the supervision of tho national
government I do not believe in taking
steps hastily or harshly and it may be
that all that is necessary in the immedi
nto futuro is to pass an interstate com
merce bill conferring upon some branch
of tho executive government the power
of effective action to remedy the abuses
in connection with railway transporta
tion
It may be that we shall Gnd that tho
only effective way of exercising supervi
sion is to require all corporations engag
ed in any monopoly in interstate traffic
to produce proof satisfactory say to
the Department of Commerce that they
are not parties to any contract or com
bination or engaged in any monopoly in
interstate trade in violation of the anti
trust law and that their conduct on cer
tain other specified points is proper and
moreover that these corporations shall
agree with a penalty of forfeiture of
their right to engage in such commerce
to furnish any evidence of any kind as
to their trade between the states when
ever so required by the Department of
Commerce

CARTS IN SCOTLAND
Thvjr Were a Caue of Wonder In
tlie Eighteenth Century
In Scotland at the beginning of the
eighteenth century produce was car
ried in sacks on horseback or on
sledges or later In the century on
tumbrels which were sledges on tum
bling wheels of solid wood with wood
en axletrees all revolving together
These machines were often so small
that in a narrow passage the carter
could lift them bodily for they held
little more than a wheelbarrow They
had wheels a foot and a half in diam
eter made of three pieces of wood
pinned together like a butter firkin
and which quickly wore out and be
came utterly shapeless so that a load
of COO pounds was enormous for the
dwarfish animals to drag Yet even
such vehicles were triumphs of civili
zation when they came Into use when
the century was young
Carts are a later invention still and
when one In 1723 first carried Its tiny
load of coals from East Kilbride to
Cambuslang crowds of people It Is
reported went to see the wonderful
machine They looked with surprise
and returned with astonishment In
many parts of the lowlands they were
not in ordinary use even till 17G0
while In the northern districts sledges
or creels on the backs of women were
chiefly employed to the end of the cen
tury The wretched condition of the
roads was the chief cause of the re
luctant adoption of carts
In the driest weather the roads were
unfit for carriages and in wet weather
almost Impassable even for horses
deep In ruts of mire covered with
stones winding up heights and down
hills to avoid swamps and bogs It
was this precarious state of the roads
which obliged judges to ride on cir
cuit and a practice began as a physic
al necessity was retained as a dignified
habit so that in 1744 Lord Dun re
signed his judgeship because he was
no longer able to ride on circuit

LIFE IN ANCIENT GREECE
No Hcmnins Whatever of Grecian
Domentic Architecture
Of the domestic architecture of the
Greeks nothing whatever remains
writes Jean Schoepfer in the Archi
tectural Record Magazine In ancient
Greece private houses never had any
architectural interest A citizen of
Athens or Sparta was too busy with
state affairs to spend much time at
home lie wanted to be in the public
place where he could find his friends
and fellow citizens Moreover the
climate allowed him to live in the open
air during the greater part of the year
It was on the agora that the citizens
assembled in public meeting It was
there from a rostrum that the orators
harangued the crowd hence the need
of a good voice and a clear enuncia
tion hence too the famous pebbles of
Demosthenes It was in the open air
that Socrates and the sophists held
their discussions alongside the Ilyssus
under the plaue trees or on a public
place It was in the academy gardens
that Plato patronized and in open air
gymnasiums that the youths practiced
their athletic games There was no
raison detre for a domestic architec
ture with such a people and in such a
climate It is not necessary to have
palatial administrative buildings for
governing a people that live in the pub
lic places Besides what significance
would the term comfort which is so
full of meaning to us twentieth cen
tury westerns living in cold damp cli
mates where fog wind and rain pre

we ask would this word have for the

Took the Lfint Chance
An old Scotch gravedigger was re
monstrated with one day at a funeral
for making a serious overcharge for
digging a grave
Well ye see sir said the old man
in explanation making a motion with
his thumb toward the grave him and
me had a bit o a tift twa er three

Was It St Mark or Lamrnsf
As Jesus was being led captive from
the garden back of Jerusalem one form
followed the guard It was white In
the moonlight and looked like an ap
parition When the guard noticed the
figure they sought to lay hands upon
it when the figure cast off the cloth
around its form and escaped St Mark
Is the only historian who mentions
this and some writers think St Mark
was the figure Others think it was

EARLY CALIFORNIA SHIPS
Hovr Commerce Grew In rioneer
Day of the Golden State
The first European vessel to enter
the port of San Francisco of which
there is any record was the Eagle in
181l commanded by Captain William
J Davis She sailed from Boston via
the Sandwich Islands and Alaska She
carried an assortment of goods which
were a revelation to the natives and
their garments of skins and hides were
substituted by the clothing of civiliza
tion Payments were made in hides
tallow soap and fish The Eagle then
became engaged in the sea otter trade
and was very successful as otters
were plentiful in San Francisco bay
and all along the coast She made
three trips netting about 25000 on
ach trip This stimulated others and
this discovery no doubt gave an im
petus to commerce which made this
port known to the world
Commerce in those days of manna
was carried on in what might be term
ed a free and easy manner On
many articles the duty was 100 per
cent which practically amounted to
confiscation or made smuggling neces
sary in self defense The Mexican of
ficials generally opened the door Fre
quently vessels were permitted to pass
Monterey the port of entry going to
Yerba Buena and after selling as
much of the cargo as possible to re
turn to Monterey for entry and dis
pose of the remainder
The shippers were not sworn as to
the value of the cargj They gave fic
titious invoices and by this means
would get off on the payment of 5000
on a 20000 cargo
It became so customary to swindle
the government as scarcely to excite
comment except in cases where goods
were concealed in false linings of the
vessels and the government officials
were outwitted
URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
A Medlcul Opinion on Thla Foe to
Health and Life
Haig holds that the man of average
weight elaborates twelve grains of uric
acid in twenty four hours and woe be
tide him if he does not excrete the full
amount with due celerity A little re
tained uric acid will give rise to head
ache lethargy and mental depression
A greater retention will give rise to
arthritis lumbago and sciatica The
uric acid miser will end his days
through bronchitis Brights disease
apoplexy diabetes or cancer Man
cannot avoid his fate and cease being
a uric acid producer lie can avoid
to some degree swallowing the wretch
ed stuff What he cannot avoid swal
lowing he can with care excrete If
man had beeii wise and had continued
to live where he belongs near the
equator and had fed on fruit and nuts
all might have been well But having
wandered from the tropics he must be
wise or perish EEere are the rules
that one must follow to be healthy ani
live long First swallow no uric acid
and pass out each day regularly and
punctually all that is formed in the
body Second excretion of uric acid
may be obtained by clothing warmly
by avoiding exposure to cold in every
way tho morning cold tub is an espe
cial abomination by eating freely of
potatoes especially in cold weather
and by avoiding fruits Bicarbonate
of sodium night and morning for peo
ple who live in a climate similar to
Londons is a fine habit In addition
to all this it is also advisable to se
cure the proper distribution of time
between bodily and mental exertion
and to dispense with dependence on
tonics stimulants and bracing cli

Water Thieves
Water thieves are not unique Their
prototypes existed at least as long ago
as 1479 At that time a Londoner
wrote This yere a wax chandler in
Flete strete had bi craft perced a pipe
of the condit withinne the grounde and
so conveied the water Into his selar
wherefor he was jugid to ride thrugh
the CItee with a condit upon his
hedde There were other difficulties
too A century later 1374 it is re
corded that owing to a sudden shower
of rain the water In the Dowgate chan
nel had such a swift course that a lad
minding to have leapt over It was
taken by the feet and borne down with
the violence of that narrow stream till
he came against a cart wheel that stood
in the water gate before which time
he was drowned and stark dead
The Suns Corona
Thus far we know the corona of the
sun to be a sort of outer envelope so
shielding us from the Intense solar
light and heat that it may be said
without exaggerating that the sun has
never really been studied comprehen
sively Within the corona is an ocean
of gas 5000 miles deep stained a ruby
red by the crimson blaze of hydrogen
Flashes of flame leap from this ruddy
mass often to a height of a hundred
thousand miles and more

THE DOMESTIC HOsSAND
One Vievr of the Sinn Who Ilnnnta
Hid Own Home Circle
Tlw foolishness of wives Is shown in
their warfare against lie club be It
good or bad and their indiscriminate
laudation of the domestic man The
latter is not apt to be an alluring per
sonality for oscillating between down
town and home his circle of interests
is necessarily narrow and he inevita
bly takes up with more or less petty
matters and becomes a domestic mar
tinet or a tame cat All the big civic
interests that engage the energies of
public spirited men in their leisure
from business he ignores as he does
association with men identified with
other worthy interests The petty gos
sip of the home and the evening paper
constitute the typical domestic mans
mental sustenance in his moments of
relaxation from the grind of money
making and apart from merely hav
ing him within reach it is hard to un
derstand what pleasure the wife can
take in this variety of husband for he
apparently feels under no obligation to
make himself agreeable It is not he
who makes the meal cheerful by set
ting the conversational pace in the di
rection of amusing stories or interest
ing information his usual contribution
being fussy comment on some trivial
domestic incident More often he eats
in silence and departs In the shortest
time possible for the most desirable
chair in the living room there to re
main for the remainder of his evening
Such a man however good a provider
he may be for his family is a social
vegetable merely in whom no woman
Is justified in taking pride at this day
when the need In public affairs is for
citizens who bear their share of the
burdens peculiar to our nation and
times Vogue
