Frank N. Meyer, the scientific ex plorer for the government, in his re cent penetration of China, saw farms that had been under irrigation since before Columbus discovered America To the credit of the pagan priests, be it said, all forms of plant and tree growth were cherished and encouraged around the temples. The priests gave Meyer what . information they could. The extent to which forest devastation has gone in China can be Inferred from the fact that the Chi nese have rooted and grubbed out every vestige of the growth the size of your finger above the graves of their revered ancestors.

The police station is now groaning under the weight of the bottle goods confiscated at the blind pig raids. Thanks, the, Thanksgiving turkey Is all gone.. Thtisday roast turkey. Fri day cold turkey. Saturday turkey hash. Sunday turkey soup. Monday grilled bones. No other store like the R. & Sz. tt All millinery reduced to half by the R. & Sz. only. tf The Gar trustees never do anything by halves. They believe In having a chief of the fire department that Is second ot none in the county. The local police are looking for an other store house in which to house their results of their blind pig raids. . Maybe the paving of Broadway will be finished in time to present It to the town board for a Christmas present. There is enpugh water In some of the basements in Gary to float a large sized ship. Gary lawyers are not the least bit discouraged. They intend to have a superior court at Gary or die In the attempt. Cheer up, even if Gary didn't have much of a football team .there maybe something doing in the basketball line. Highland kilties and Scotch baypipes will be in evidence at the ball of the St. Andrews society tonight. R. G. Parry spent Thanksgiving day with his parents in Crown Point. Gary Baptists have decided to build a church here which will add another house of worship to Gary's already large list. FIGHT GAME SOON - TO OPEN IN STATE. Lid That Hanly Nailed. Dotvn la Soon To Be Pried Open. Boxing through the state of Indiana may soon thrive again. It was learned here today that the lid which was nailed down so tightly by Governor Hanly will be pried open soon and that South Bend is to hold the initial show. Governor Hanly was dead set against the fight game and nailed down the ever at Indianapolis something less than two years ago, after the game had been flourishing for some time. Several f the larger cities had been holding limited round bouts, but the Ud at the capital went for all, and since it was applied there has been nothing doing among the Hoosiera. Chicago promoters are said to be at the head of the movement to start the ball rolling at South Bend. The city is about eighty miles from this city and the 'railroad service la good enough, It is believed, to warrant the promoters speculating on attendance of local boxing fans at events there. County and municipal authorities are said to be willing ttiat the lid should be raised, provided there Is a restriction on the number of rounds and that the affairs are properly conducted. Sev eral good theaters are available for the shows. It is said. With the news that fighting at Mil waukee Is about to be resumed Chicago fans and the local pugilists think the outlook for the winter is not so dark after all, since the Milwaukee program may be interlined with bouts at South Bend. ACTIVITY IS IIICfffiiiG Car Building Plants All Over the Country Are Rejoicing. The activity in car building circles. which is glad news for Lake county industries, is increasing almost daily. One report is to the effect that the Brighton Car company will build V .lt TITI 1 lis and another that the Harriman lines are in the market for 1,500 fortyton refrigerator cars. v The Brighton Car oompany has pur chased eighteen acres of ground near Minneapolis and will erect a car build ing plant thereon, which, when completed, will give employment, it is said, to about 10,000 men. This Is the com pany that has the contract to build all the cars for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road to be used on its new Pacific coast extension, and they have' chosen Minneapolis as the place to build them. Harriman Llaef Busy. The Harriman lines, which have ordered 1,830 fifty-ton dox cars from the American Car and Foundry company, are in the market as well for 1,500 forty-ton steel underframe refrigerator cars. Part of the box cars will be built at Michigan City. Locomotive works are rt-ceiving numerous orders from central traffic lines for locomo tives. The Cincinnati Northern, a Big Four line, is tobuy six freight locomotives; the Hocking Valley will buy fifteen locomotives in February. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton is reported as being in the market for twenty locomotives, and has ordered ten switch engines from the locomotive company in addition to the number above noted. Ancient Embalming. The ancient Inhabitants of the Ca nary islands used an embalming process like that of the Egyptians. Dessicated bodies, preserved for centuries by atmospheric or other agencies, have been found in France, Sicily, England, Central America and Peru.

IRON IS PIGKiriO

UP SLOWLY Leading Interests Expect no Very Great Activity Before Next Spring. VIEWS OF CARNEGIE SCORED Steel Company Officials Say His Plea . For Tariff Slash Cornea With Very Ead Grace. . Recent developments In the iron and steel Industry have strengthened the general position, though there has been ho sensational buying movement in any line. The leading interests do not expect that the trade will get back to the top of its activity before next spring. That point cannot be reached till the railroads are in position to resume buying and they are not ready now. The business of the present and the prospects for the future are such as to bring a general stability as to- prices, there being secret cutting on many less products than was the case a short time ago. The-dinner to be given by Judge Gary to tho representatives of various steel and Iron interents In New York is expected to result in reviving interest in the co-operative price movement that was Interrupted by the recent panic. Activity la Prospective. Activity in the steel rail market Is still prospective. The new orders booked up to the present time have been insignificant in comparison with those of a normal period. Authorities in the trade assert that negotiations for at least 600,000 tons will be started before Jan. 1. The Pennsylvania's requirements for all its lines are estlmaeed at about 150,000 tons, the New York Central's at 100,000 tons, and the Baltimore and Ohio's at 90,000 tons. Orders actually placed have been in tonnages that look exceedingly small compared with these estimates. There has been some business in light rails at low prices, caused by the competition of the re-rolling Interests. Car building continues to increase with the chances all in favor of an exceedingly large business in the near fu ture. There is consequently a strong demand for axle billets. A few large orders for spikes and bolts have been placed and there Is a heavy inquiry for track fastenings. Takes Rap at Carnegie. The question of the tariff on Iron and steel has interfered somewhat with business. Mr. Carnegie's expressions in favor of a reduction of the duty rates have given the present active leaders in the industry rather a hard nut to crack. For years he was the chief beneficiary of the tariff on iron and steel and still is regarded as the most important figure in the business. Some of the men now active In running the business Mr. Carnegie turned over to the United States Steel corporation are quoted as saying that suggestions of a removal of the tariff come with very bad grace from him. It Is to be remembered, however, that the tariff ideas of the iron and steel trade will be presented to congress by very active and influential men who do not think on the subject as Mr. Car negio does. A strong argument will probably be made for a retention of the present duties. Matins Pig Iron. "Our last blast furnace statistics,' says the Iron Trade Review, "indicate that the United States is making pig iron at the rate of more than 19,000,000 tons a year. The intense pressure upon all capacity for nearly three years up to the latter part of October, 1907, pro vided such a viewpoint that there has been a tendency to regard the idle ca pacity more than the operating capacity, and to lose sight of the very large ! sumen. 1 ri(. nresenr rfltA nf nicr f -r. v production, easily 19,000,000 tons a year, is in excess of the rate maintained in any calendar year prior to 1903. It is more than double the rate of 1890 which remained the record until 1895. It is 40 per cent in excess of the out put in the wonderful boom year o 1899." Great Minds for Great Things. To accomplish great things argues . great resolutions; to design great things implies no common mind. Hazlitt. The Last Thing on the List. When a man thinks his son isn't likely to be good for anything else, he generally tries to get him to study medicine. Prompt. Two young men once wrote a joint humorous production at least, they thought It was humorous and sent it to Life. They did not see each other for 24 hours. When they met, Joint 'Author No. 1 remarked to Joint Author No. 2: "Since writing that thing I've thought of some awfully funny twists that we might have put in it. Too bad we sent it away so hurriedly. I should have liked to make certain changes and additions." With a sardonic grin Joint Author No. 2 put hia hand in his pocket, produced an envelope addressed to himself, and drew therefrom the manuscript of the joint production. "Here it Is," he said. "It has just come back. Make all the changes you want"

STEAM ROADS 1ST MEETJHTERURBANS Must Exchange Carload Traffic Where Physical Connection Exists. U. B. HUNT GIVES DECISION Controversy Between Winona Com pany and Big Pour at Warsaw Settled By Bufing. A decision rendered by the Indiana railroad commission on Saturday is of vital importance to the street railways in Lake county and makes it Incumbent upon a steam road to enter into an Interchange of carload traffic with an lnterurban company, regardless of Trlw. t li o rxre rt-r tnnrfl fflm maris havA change their car traffic. The decision was given by Union B. Hunt, chairman of the commission, and involved the litigation between the Winona lnterurban Railway company and the Big Four, wherein the former sought to compel the latter to deliver cars to Its lines in Warsaw, where there Is a phy sical connection between the two roads. Railroad Commission Called. According to the evidence introduced at the hearing some time ago, the Big Four had entered into an agreement with the P., F. W. & C railroad. whereby it would not deliver any fars to the lnterurban railway at Warsaw. It was upon this refusal that the petitioners took the matter before the rail road commission for an adjudication. Hunt Explains Position. Mr. Hunt, In rendering his decision, declares that the Interchange of traf fic such as Is Involved in the petition. affords a larger opportunity for the shipping public and it "would bring the steam and lnterurban roads Into right ful competition." The assertion of the officials of the Big Four that the interchange of traffice with the lnterurban road would have a tendency to bring their equip ment under the control of the interurbans and bring their rolling stock into use for lnterurban business, is met by Mr. Hunt by the assertion tha "such abuse of equipment can be prevented by the commission." Arctic Fare. Sir Leopold McClintock, the Arctic explorer, who died recently, was once giving an account of his experiences amid the ice fields of the north. "We certainly would have traveled much farther," he explained, "had not our dogs given out at a critical moment." "But," exclaimed a lady, who had been listening very intently. "I thought that Eskimo dogs were perfectly tireless creatures." Sir Leopold's face wore a whimsically gloomy expression as he replied, " er speak in a culinary Bense, miss." Exchange. Johnny Couldn't Help It. The teacher of one of the rooms in a school in the suburbs had been training her pupils in anticipation ot a visit from the school inspector. At last he came, and the classes were called out to show their attainments. The arithmetic class was the first called, and in order to make a good impression the teacher put the first question to Johhny Smith, the star pupil. "Johnny, if coal is selling at 1 a ton, and you pay the coal dealer 4, how many tons of coal will he bring you?" "Three," was the prompt reply from Johnny. The teacher, much embarassed, said, "Why, Johnny, that isn't right." "Oh, I know It ain't, but they do It, miss." Tit-Bits. " What H Really iiald. Hiss Woodby So Mr. Smart really

We Back Up Our State ments With Our Personal Reputation and Money. We are so positive that we can cure constipation, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish the medicine free of all cost If we fall. It' is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction, Irritate and weaken the bowels and make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use become a habit that is dangerous and often fatal. Constipation is caused by weakness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect a cure you must therefore tone up and strengthen those organs and restore them to healthier activity. The discovery of the active principle of our remedy evolved the labor of the world's greatest research chemists. It possesses all the best qualities of the remedial action of the best known Intestinal tonics, and it Is particularly prompt in its results. We want you to try Rexall Orderlies on our guarantee. They are exceed ingly pleasant to take and are ideal for children. They act directly on the enrves and muscles of the bowels, They have a neutral action on other organs or glands.

An Irish soldier on sentry duty had orders to allow no one to smoke near his post. An officer with a lighted cigar approached, whereupon Pat bodly challenged him and ordered him to put it out at once. The officer, with a gesture of disgust, threw away his cigar, but no sooner was his back turned than Pat picked It up and quietly retired to the sentry box. The officer, happening to look around, observed a beautiful cloud of smoke issuing from the box. He at once challenged Pat for smoking on duty. "Smoking, is it, sor? Bedad, and I'm only keeping it lit to show to the corporal when he comes, as evidence agin you." Tit-Bits. Good Pay, Short Hours. A certain cottage and its old mistress had improved so greatly in comfort that a visitor shrewdly surmised that the son of the house, a lazy ne'er-do-well, had turned over a new leaf.
