| III rumors that are now In circulation
can be relied ON as authoritative, there
| will be lively times on the Flathead
reservation soon, says the Missoulian.
| 1t is reported that Sheriff Houston, who
is now in the Flathead country, has fully
determined to capture the much-talked-
about fugltives from justice, Pierre Paul
and La-la-Se, and has organized posse
consisting OF about sixty citizens of the
| Flathcad lake country who well know
the lay of the mountain country, and
within a few days will start out we'll
equipped to capture the lrenegades. 1t
is not known what conclusions were
reached in the conference between
Governor Toole, Agent Roman and
Sheriff Houston, but it is GER
tain that Sheriff Houston is now
determined to trayere the Flathead
country from end to end or get within
his grasp the dreaded outlaws. Why
Chief Aencas refuses to turn over Pierre
Paul and La-la-ce to the authorities is
mystery. But this lie will be compelled
to do or suffer the consequences incum-

GERS. The whereabouts of tho rem

IT is feared they may be safe in the
British possessions before they are
sighted by the sheriff and his posse.
Once over the border in Canada they
are safe, as they are out of the reach of
the United States authorities, and with
he renegade kootenais who belong
there. Whether or not the expedition
is rewarded with the capture of the out
laws, the action of Sheriff Houston Is
commendable, DIS SO long as these bad
Indians are at liberty, the safety of the
residents OF the lake country, the tour
ist and prospector is menaced. The do
ings of disorderly Indians in the Flat
head region already has cost the county
an enormous sum, and there is every
cause to believe that these daredevil
Indians, now sought after, have been
at the bottom OF nearly all the mis-
chievous doings OF the reds of the lake
country.
Boat racing on the Snake has been the
chief amusement of the people of Asotin
for some days past, says the Asotin
(Wash.) Sentinel. The test of the sail
ing qualities of |. Ii. Bingham's jun
bo with a square sail, and q. A. Rog-
ers' Crazy Jane with side sail, has
brought out many fun lovers to ride on
the swift waters. When strong up
stream wind is blowing these sailors
make much better time than a steamer
and the ride is more exhilarating. A
course of nearly five miles is had be-
tween the rapids above town, which
gives u good run. and a gentle pull on
oars, assisted by the current soon brings
the boats back to the starting point.

oKANodAN's WEALTH.
Rich Gold Specimens - A Fine Quality
of Rich Coal.

Okanogan county. Mr.. Slebert
brought with him some fine gold
hearing quartz from his claims on
Palmer mountain. He reports all
the claims in that neighborhood

The ore which Mr.. Seibert brought
with him is only one of the numer-

wealth of the Okanogan region.
Mcssrs. Siebert and Stillwell also
brought with them some fine sam
pies of coal taken from n claim on
the Methow, about thirty-fve miles
from the mouth of that stream and
the same distance from Conconully.
George II. Bethune, state geolo-

In Spokane Falls, according to the

Another branch OF this science to be con-
sidered before bring these articles to all
end, is that branch known as electrotype;
properly belonging to the study of chemical
physics since the results desired depend
chiefly upon the chemical properties of the
several different acids used. ElectrOtype is
the name given to the process of dissOlving
and depOsting metals on other metals.
One curious fact is that metal can be dis
solved and remain in the solution or be de-
posted again in the solid form in the same
jar. This is the principle upon which all
electro plating is done.
In fact there is not a science or an art in
which the science of electricity does not
take some part, or eventually will take some
part, in its development and perfection.
Let us look back hundred years. What
was the position occupied by this science at
that time? 1t was barely known and en-
tirely undevelOped. What change has taken
place in that short period. The science has
advanced with such immense strides that

Prison Circles.

No one who has read the address of the
Pierian circle of the Saltwater prison, Minn.,
to Chancellor Vincent. on the occasion of
his visit to that institution. can but be
touched by its tender and affectiOnate words
and can but take more hopeful view of
humanity. A band of men imprisoned for
violation of the law, and presumably least
disposed to make use of any means for
moral or intellectual improvement, have
not only given expression to a deep and
evidently sincere appreciation of the educa-
tiOnal advantages which Chautauqua af-
fords. but have urged that the helping hand
which they have felt be extended to all those
whose condition is like their own.
Last year we called attention to the circle
in the Massachusetts RefOrmatOry, which
had illustrated in its work the entire practi-
cability of such studies as those of the c..
l.. S. g. course in we'll ordered prison,
and had helped to demonstrate the sound
ness of the policy of educational discipline
among prisoners.
Another notable experience, aside from
that at Saltwater. has since been made. A
circle of twenty five members was organized
in the Nebraska State Penitentiary at Lin
coin. in November last, and has increased
in size to forty five members. The success
with which this circle has met gives further
encouragement to the multiplication of these
circles.
The testimony of the Saltwater Prison
circle is an especially strong. as it is feeling,
recognition of the uplifting influence of this
educational institution which does not hesi-
tate to send Its teachers to the hut of the
pioneer. the cell of the prisoner. or the
wards of the sick. Is this not field worthy

Eccentrfcity versus Insanity.


We have been prompted to considera-
ton of this important and interesting sub
ject by passage in the inaugural mes
sage delivered by his Excellency the
Governor of Massachusetts, to the general
assembly. in which he remarks that, ''In-
sanity has been greatly on the increase dur
ing the past year" (1sSS). This paragraph
naturally suggests to us the fact that the
public generally, and the members of the
legal and medical professions also. are
much at variance on the subject of "What
insanity really is."
Many people carelessly assume that any
one evincing any eccentricity of habit or
thought is insane. and at once put him or
her down as crazy. Others, again, pro-
nOunce those afflicted with mOnOmania ii. 9,
those who permit their minds to be more or
less controlled by a fixed but erroneous
idea. which absOrbs their attention. and in
fuences their general actions to greater
or less extent) to be lunatics. and irrespon-
sible persons; notwithstanding that on all
other points, they are exceptionally intelli-
gent, efficient and logical. and fulfill their
duties in private and public life to the ad-
miration of all who know them. Now, the
readiest and most effective method of conn.,
ing to just conclusion on this vitality i'm
pOrtant question, is to ascertain the exact
and literal meaning of the terms be-
fore us. We will take Webster as our ar
bitter. who thus defines them:
Eccentricity-Oddity. whimsicalness.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of single
faculty of the mind, or with reference to
one particular subject only.
Insanity-Un Unhealthiness of mind.
Now, with these definitions plainly be-
fore us. it will be comparatively easy for us
to form dispassiOnate and just judgment
where, in the case of person suffering un-
der either of these mental conditions. per-
sonal responsibility ceases. i. e.. where he
should be adjudged insane. and incapable
of acting for himself.

The contest Of candidates is over,
but the politics of the state is still a
living issue before the people. There
are lines of policy yet to be laid down
which will control the commonwealth
in its future destiny. The character
Of the policy which controls everything
is yet to be shaped by our office holders,
and the people will watch with interest
the development of that policy. There
are great questions effecting the inter-
est Of our new state. How shall it dis
pose of its public lands? How build
up its schools: How open its irriga-
ting bitches to redeem it's arid lands?
How develop its large mining interests
that prosperity and wealth may flow
in upon employer and employed?
How invite immigration that its Won
derful resources may be rapidly devel-
oped and its population increased?
These and many other questions are
soon to be legislated upon and the
lines of development marked out will
be watched with careful interest by
the people.

of mail matter are sent annually to the
Dead Letter Office by reason of incor-
rect, lllegible, or deficient address, in
sufficient postage, insecure inclosing,
whereby matter mailed becomes separ-

the failure to be called for or delivered

daily average of over twenty thousand
pieces. Of these the greater portion
either are not called for at the post

back to the time when this entire

long life of 95 years in this section OF
the United States.
In 1923 he crossed the Rocky noun.

entirely alone, traversing a region the
home of hostile Indians, and encoun.
tering on the journey many difficulties
and perils. Years after his return he
saw the first steamer which ever fioated
on its waters ascend the Columbia
river in the early zoos, and, as the
years went by, watched how this
mighty river became the highway fol-

which he first viewed covered with

1t is unfortunate that even the great
railroad companies should allow their
estimates to fall short of the possibili-
ties of the Pacific North~ est, and find
themselves unable to respond to the
demands of the traffic. Yet the asser-
ton is frequently advanced that the
railroads have over-built in the Pacific
Northwest. Now that they find them
selves unable to transport the products
of the country, by reason of an utter
lack of rolling stock, perhaps we shall
hear an end of such dire and I'M
founded declarations.
