cement, mineral paint, iron, copper, zinc,
nickel, silver and gold ores; and, last, but
not least, the coal oil, which has now been
proved to underhe large portion of the
county. excited universal wonder. This feel
ing was increased when it became known
that the county which can yield all these
treasures of nature is blessed with the most
delightful climate, and produces nearly all
kinds of fruits, cereals, grasses, and flow
ers, with semi-tropical luxuriance. 1t Is
difficult to point to any one particular adj
vantage resulting from the expenditure of
money, time and labor on your exhibition.
Direct and Immediate benefits should not
be looked for, nor expected; but that the
indirect benefits viii be worth to the whole
county many times more than the cash out
lay few will question; while the time and
labor expended by those who took an active
from motives of local pride
Perhaps the best evidence of the benefits
accruing from the display of the resources
of Fremont county at the exposition may
be found in the fact that, while there is a
general complaint of stagnation in other
parts of the state, values of realty in this
county are firm and improving. There Is
scarcely vacant dwelling house in this
city, while our business interests are gener-
ally conceded TO be in a prosperous condition.
In conclusion, your secretary would con-
slider his report incomplete without specific
mention of the names of those who con-
tributed most efficient service in making
your exhibit n success. name Colonel Z.
II. Sawyer first, because he was the first to
advocate the representation of the county
at the exposition. He attended the first
meeting and the last, as well as all inter
mediate meetings Indeed, at the incep-
ton of the movement, he was sometimes
the only one present, when he would hunt
up your secretary, and between them they
would hunt up a quorum. This was only
at the beginning, however; for, after our
leading men became alive to the import
anee of having the county properly repre-
sented, all freeley helped But, to Colonel
Sawyer's unbounded enthusiasm and un-
tiring zeal, most OF the credit of carrying
out the objects of your exhibition is GER
tainly due. Next l may mention d. G.
Peabody, Esq, whose pride in his county
and its resources knows no bounds. He
gave freely of his money. time and labor
to make your exhibition q success. Mayor
Cooper was also untiring in his labors in
collecting and shipping specimens, and af

Of our own loved state of Louisiana,
Mr.. Mcnamara, chairman of the renn-

beautiful song Of his own composition;
"LoUIsIANA LowLANDs."
Wen sing to Louisiana, boys, where balmy
bFeeZes blow,
Where flowers rare perfume the air and cane
and cotton grow.
Our women fair, we're gallant men, e'er true
to COuutry's call,
Who followed we'll, and fought aud fell, with
Lee and Old Stonewall.

In the Louisiana lowands. lowlands,

There blooms the rich magnolia, where proud
Mississippi flows
Rude Winters blast l. rarely felt, and rarer
storms or SHOWS
But we have warm hearts and willing hands,
with spirits light and free,
OF men who marched with Old Stonewal and
iought with peerless Lee.
Chorus-in the Louisiana lowlands, etc.
Through many day and weary night, meath
sunshine or mid rain,
Footsore We pressed, scarce knowing rest,
with Old Jacks gravel train
And many a brave young life went out,
'gainst bayonet and ball,
But never fatered yet the men who marched
with Old StoneWall.
ChQrus-In the Louisiana l0Wlands, etc
Up Pennsylvanis's bloody heights, DER val
leYs, mountain rills,
By Eappahannock's placid stream, round
Echmond's crested hills,
We bore our colors proudly up-e'en sore
pressed we might be,
And left to fame a spOtiess name, the men
who fought with Lee.
Chorus-Lu the Louisiana loWlands, etc.
Then here's to Louisiana, boys, wherever we
may be,
Wen meier forget, nor meter regret the days
of A, n. V.
Wen toast the memory of our dead, our
battles o'ef wen fight,
And one and all to memory call those days of
yOrs tonight,

that there is no name save Gods that

And those who have been so uufortu-

Temperance Topics.

The Woman's Christian Temper
Union in Walla Walla numbers l25
members.
Saloon keepers of New Tacoma
have recently been arrested and fined
for doing business on Sunday.
The Emperor of Japan has taken
the initiative i'll the cause of temper
ance in his empire. He has APP
pointed commission to devise meth
DDS for the suppression Of the liquor
traffic.
Missouri has declared for high
license; hereafter the saloons will
have to pay 81 900 a year. When
the new law comes into operation it
is expected that many of the low
groceries will be forced out of ex-
istence.
The oldest temperance society in
existence is supposed to be the one
formed in Massachusetts in 1913.
1t has just held its 10th annual BUSH
ness meeting in Boston for the choice
of officers and the care of its small
but ancient and well-preserved fund.
The temperance movement seems
to be making rapid progress in Eng
land, indicated by the large and
growing decline in the sale of malt
and splrituous liquors. The revenue
from excise duties is now S25 ,000,-
600 less than it was seven years ago.
The Oregonin asks: Who is
there, outside the free whisky asso-
citation and its supporters and VIC
Tins. who can object to reasonable
taxation of a traffic that fills the
poorhouses, asylums, jails and peni-
tentiaries of the country? This is
the high license question in a nut.
shell.

Political Points.

When the Democrats elect another
President he will be sure to qualify.
If political indications ATE not de-
cep:ive, the boss system is petering
out.
Mr.. Tilden's health is still sub
iect of intense concern to the Re.
publicans.
Republican premises to reform the
Government have expired under the
statute of limitations.
Eliza Pinkstone was the mother of
the last Administration, and Guiteau
was certainly the father of this.
Whether in or out of politics,
Mr.. TlIden will be the terror of the
Republican party as long as he lives.
If you want TO make a Republican
politician shiver just whisper the
name Tilden' IN his ear. 1t is
worse than chilly blast.
The New York Times seems to
think that, so far as national politics
is concerned, the Democrats are hav-
ing every thing their own way.
And now the Southern newspaper
man quietly rises i'll his place and
asks the Northern newspaper man if
prlze fighting which is SO prevalent
md popular i'll the north is not more
detrimental to good morals, decency,
law and order, than the practice of
duelinS i'll the South, and the North
ern newspapers man for answer hangs
his head in shame.

After Periurers.

Special Timber Agent Wilcoxen
arrived in Wha.com Monday from
the Skagit, where he has been in
vestigating crooked timber entries.
He has just broken up q gang of
government land thieves in Cowlitz
county who have been systematic
ally grabbing all the agricultural
land possible under the cloak of
timber lands. MIR. Wilcoxen is a
worker and a terror to evil doors
who fraudulently obtain lands by
perjury; and it is entirely proba-
bic that he will he the medium
through whom some such 1ascals
will obtain a suit of striped gar
ments and a situation under the
direct employ of the government.
1t has been ruled by the Department
Of the Interior that all lands capable
OF being used for agriculture or
pasturage can only be taken as
agricultural lands. He also says the
government desires information of
any private bartar or side agreement
which tends to favoritism or the pro-
curement of valuable consideration
by any person entrusted with the
care of public lands, either before or
after being placed upon the market.
He says the recent fraud oerpe-
trated demand more stringent meas
ures than heretofore. and the law
will hereafter be applied with sever
ity to any persons connected in land
frauds. He is also authorized to
investigate the cause of forest fires
which destroy government timber,
and see who is criminally responsible
for the same through negligence or
otherwise. Mr.. Wilcoxen ia now
investigating some land matters at
Ferndale and On the Nooksack, and
will iuger about long enough to
learn of any frauds in this vicinity.
