DRUNKENNESS AND INesRlsTY.
The Weaknesses Inherited by Drunkard's
Child.

The Weaknesses Inherited by Drunkard's
Child.
Mr.. James Stewart, an English sur
geon, described in a recent lecture the
difference between drunkenness and
inebriety. The drunkard, he said, was
a person who drank when he found an
opportunity of drinking; the inebriate
was a person who, in most cases, was
born with an unsound brain, and might
even be a man who had never tasted
alcoholic drink in his life. Dr. Joseph
Parrish had said that iuebriety might
descend as inebriety, but it was just as
likely to change the form of its appear
ance into insanity or other allied man.

was important that the child of an in.
ebriate should be kept free from any
thing that might upset the nervous
equilibrium, care being taken especial.

early years should be bright and calcu.

characteristics. 1t was the duty of the
wife of an inebriate to warn her chill

turer gave the following conclusions:
l. Drunkenness is vice, inebriety a
disease; the two terms must not be
confounded. 2. The disease Of in.
ebriety once established may be trans
mitted to the patients offspring either
in the form of the alcoholic diathesis,

this diathesis developing as inebriety
is lifelong total abstinence on the part

at last succeeded in reaching st. Louis,
and delivered his message, in response
to which Father De Smet was returned
with the messenger, reaching the Coeur
D'Alene in 1889.
One of the earliest and most interest
ing missions in The present state Of
Washington is the old st. Paul mission
at Kettle Falls. The place was first
visited by Father De Smet in 1872; but
the mission was not established until
about two years later, when the quaint
old log church shown in our sketch was
erected.
This was the nucleus of a little set

Bay Fur Company trading post and a
small garrison. The mission soon added
a schoolhouse, a grist mill and saw
mill, and still later two churches. Tc

mind with the first rays of intelligence
and decency, would be tedious. But
they have gradually distilled into their
charges few fundamental notions of
civilization, which have in time served
to lessen the sum total of their ieno-
rance, laziness, gambling and licentious-
ness; qualities in which they seem to
excel the other tribes of the northwest.
The theory that natural scenery i'm

characters of human Inhabitants. would
seem to be thoroughly refuted by a
glance at the wonderful beauty and
grandeur of the natural scenery in
which generations of the Indians of tie
Colville country have been reared, and
casual knowledge of the persistent de-
pravity Of these aborgines.
Although, in its long, winding course,
the Columbia river shows many views
more magnificent than at Kettle Falls,
there the scene is one OF striking
beauty; the crescent group Of falls
pouring their clear waters in a common
caldron, the little village, with its old
mission buildings and new u1anufac-
tories, clustered about and the great
dark fir forests in the back ground.

FAMOUS OLD MISSIONS.
Pioneer Work Done by Jesuits In

To Them Belongs the Credit OF Being
the First white Men to Force Their
Way Through the Forests
Of Oregon.
Especial State OF Washington Letter

The searcher after the annals of true
well rewarded by visiting the old mis-
sions which dot the northwest. He can
scarcely find single one, however
humble, the history of which does not
hide many pathetic story of frontier
heroism and self-dcnial, beside which
the fancies of idealizing romancers are
tame, weak and havorless. Although
the great Pathfinder came short of re-
ceiving the gratitude which he fairly
earned from his fellows, there can be
no doubt, in the mind of the candid in
vestigator, that to the jealous Jesuit
missionaries belongs the fame which
the popular notion credits to Fremont,
Of being the first white men to force
their way over the mountains and
through the forests of Oregon and plant
the standard of civilization among the
savages of what are now our most
northwestcrly states. Men OF every
faith and creed must unite in doing
honor to the daring spirits of the early
Jesuits, who counted their lives as
nothing and the severest sufferings and
privations as gain, for the sake Of car
rying their gospel TO the stolid Indian
who had not yet become familiar with
even the face of the white trapper and
trader. Even the inception Of their
labors in this wilderness has a strange
and pathetic history.
Popular tradition has it that a few
fugitive Iroquois, who had heard the
gospel story from the missionaries in
their eastern home, repeated it to the
Coeur dAlene Indians. So deeply were
the latter stirred by this strange, new
message that early in the thirties, they
dispatched a little band to undertake
the long journey to ST. Louis, and ask
that missionary be sent to instruct
them. The country between their Mon
tana home and st Louis was full OF
hostile tribes. The tribe waited many
months for the return of its braves
They did not come. Again the chiefs
dispatched another band. Months came

AN IMMENSE TUNNEL.
BIG IRRIGATION WORKS NEAR THE
TOWN OF MORENO.
ply of tho California Stan
of Life.

Special to the HERALD
TUNNEL CAMP, NEAR MORENO, June 20.
The work on the Bear Valley Irrigation
company's great half-mile tunnel was
again suspended today, the supply Of
brick for the interior masonry having
run out. Over 100000 brick will be
needed to complete the work, according
to the estimate of Prof. G. Leonard, the
contractor.
The whole tunnel is now side.walled
and foored, the bottom and sides hav-
ing been finished with smooth cement
surface. For q length of about 1900 feet
the tunnel mas been arched with brick
and finished with cement, leaving the
interior to resemble huge pipe with q
capacity of IL 500 inches Of water. This
arching has been done in novel and
interesting manner.
The chief engineer of the work, Mr..
James T. Taylor, was throughout the
work being harrassed by demands for
water from the towns of Moreno, Ales-
eandro and Perris. which depend for
their supply upon this tunnel. At first
a steel pipe was laid through the struc-
ture to supply the most urgent need,
but 1t was not adequate to the require
ments, and frequently the work had to
be stopped for days in order to allow
water to run freely through the new
tunnel. The stops to the work were the
cause OF go much delay and consequent
damage, that some other method had to
be adopted.
After the sidewalks and bottom had
been completed the railroad track, on
which building material had been taken
into the tunnel and dirt removed, was
| raised 30 high that foot and half OF
water could run under it. It was then
boarded over, and during the
last few weeks, while q
stream of 700 inches of water
was rushing at speed of thirty miles
an hour over the floor of the tunnel,
the workmen above were respectively
excavafing with pick and shovel, or
building the arched roof OF brick and
cement.
| The rest of the tunnel will be COM
pleted in the same manner after work is
resumed. The people of the Alessandro
and Perris valleys, who have inspected
the work, are anxious for it's completion
and are delighted with the excellent and
thorough job which the Bear Valley
| company has made of it.
