EVENING
Our business relations for the past j'ear
have for the most part been pleasant,
with the exception that our re-building
and consequent confusion has prevented
us from giving at all times the prompt
service that we wish to give.
Our troubles in that line are now nearly
over, however, and we want you to call
on us in our new and enlarged quarters.
Our stock will be larger and more
thoroughly departmentized and our aim
w ill be to keep every department stocked
with the latest and best goods and to
guarantee satisfaction in every detail.
We are offering special inducements now
in "a great many lines of seasonable goods,
especially Ladies' Coats and Furs.
Come in and see us anyway.

CUT OF NATIONAL '
FORESTTIMBER BIG
TOTAL OF NEARLY HALF BIL
LION BOARD FEET USO DUR
ING YEAR.
"The total cut of National Forest
timber during the year was nearly
460,000,000 board feet, of which over
100,000,000 feet were given awav un
der free-use permi a," says the Seore-.
try of Agriculture in his last an
nual report which has Just been
mode. The timber acquired under
freejuse. permJita was used1 .by settlers,
schools and churches within the for-
OBits.' The Secretary Bays that tihe
receipts from timber sales were about
$700,000, and continues:
''Free use of timber was heaviest
in Idiaho, with over 18,000,000 board
feet, followed by .Montana, Colorado,
Utah, and New Mexico, with amounits
ranging from nearly 17,000,000 to
less than 10,000,000 feet. California,
Wyoming, and Oreeon had each a
free-use cut of betwen 6,000,000 and
7,000,000 feet. The remaining Na
tional Forest states- follow with leas
er amounits.
8PIRIT OF RETALIATION.
The (ollowlnig clipping is request
ed to be republished. It comes from
man. of mature years and a deep
'thinker:
"In a religious paper I recently
read some very harsh strictures of
an old brother. These strictures
were by a young brother who thought
the old one had unjustly criticised
him. After the hansh utterances by
the young brother, he then says, or
Intimates, that he would say a great
deal more fif the old brother criti
cised him any more. He also. In
conclusion, boasted greatly of him
self as. to hl ability, of the high es
timation In which the brethren held
htoi, and pf the $re.U work he was
doing." Now adinLtimg the fact that
the old brother did unjustly criticise
him, the thought occurs to me that
such bitter retaliation is as great, if
not greater, sin a that committed
by the aid broher.
"Retaliation gratifies the flesh, but
never answers argument. A skunk
can not help beduig a skunk, and it
seems ' very toolish to me for any
decent anlir-al to try to outskunk hla
silcimkahlip. You leave the skunk in
hlgi proper element, while the d'uher
bears the scent of association, or
at least of aasdim Illation. If one
feaslts, moves end has his. being in.
ugly, unjust orlticitim of brethren,
then pray as Paul did, for God to
'deliver you from unreasonable and
ungodly men. The natural food of a
buzzard is carrio.i. Shall you, broth
er, go and oat food with the buz
zard in order to teach his buzzard
ship the folly of eatilmg such food?
If so, you will be nauseated and
carry away the s tench of the buz
zard, but .will never convince hiira
that carrion is not good food fon
buzzards,
"Brethren, tililnk on these things
and quit trying ta outsmut the
smutty fallow.
