Commenting on opportunities
in this country, someone has illus
trated it by declaring that if St
Peter opened a business stand on
one corner, and his Satanic Ma
jesty on another corner in the
same town, both would command
trade. Possibly this may be true
but is a mighty slur on the in
habitants. However, the mean
ing is that our success depends
on our own energy. The Sheriff
will never go after anyone who
saves as little as five cents a week
out of his earnings.

ern methods and plenty of elbow
grease, he is bringing about most
satisfactory results.
It has been whispered in onr
ear that if the State would ar
range to fence in all mountain
land, and permit owners to pas
ture them, and charge others a
small sum for a" like privilege,
the revenue derived would pay
for the fence and prevention of
destructive fires. It is claimed
that young timber would grow
much faster, also.

Trade recently adopted resolu
tions urging Congress to pass a

tures of the states of the Union.

"North American" says "Never
so far as is known, has so influ
ential a municipal body commit
ted itself officially to such an im
portant question, and its action
is a notable manifestation of the

now sweeping over the country."
