THE "SIZZARD."

The 'sizzard," in contradis
tinction to the word "blizzard, !"
is the term now used in the
Northwest to describe those days
when the sun takes off his mask
and looks at us with both eyes
at once and the mercury runs up
to top notch of the thermometer,
1t is very appropriate and ex
pressive word to use. When the
atmosphere contains supera-
bundhnce Of oaloric, when the
bricks in the sidewalk seem so
many live Goals; in fact; when
all nature begins to "sizz," then
know for certainty that a
'sizzard" has arrived.

COTTONWOOD.

Cottonwood as the future town
of Idaho County is here to stay.
She may not have quite SO much
coined capital to push her into
public notice as some other sis
tiers have; but, 1--WE apeak hum
bly,, but Confidently she has a
vast country all about her that
is very productive, and it is plen-
ty large enough to support good
town. An abundance ofwater can
be had almost anywhere by dig
ging from seven to thirty and for
ty feet. Sheis to have in the near
future one of the largest -four
ing mills in our grand old state.
Two different companies are now
considering the question Of put
ing in a bank. The merchants
here are doing a fine business
Notwithstanding the hard times.
There is room for capital to be
placed here to decided advantage
to its possessor. The Catholics
have a church house and the M.
E. people are building a neat
house in which to worship, that
will cost near $500. Indeed
the prospects are good-as good
as any could expect. We are
glad and even anxious to well
come law-abiding men to our
town, who want homes or who
desire to follow any honorable
business

MUST THEY. FALL?

One hundred thousand men
In every valley, hill and dale,
In palace, cot and humble den,
Each year lie dead from rum
and ale.
One hundred thousand sons of
God,
Bright youths and silver heads
Yearly lie in the Nations sod
From wine, sweet ale and rum.
On many hill and plain
Their glittering plowshares
run;
Homes for their loved ones dear
! to gain,
True to us as the rising sun,
Titled the soil and raised the
grain,
Our brothers, dear to us they
were;
They tasted-fell-and sadly
died
From ale, sweet wine and rum.
Can we spare them? noble, true
Our country's truest, honest
sons?
They wrote with pen and pencil
too;
They taught and were the
honored ones.
Can we see them downward go
Because of drink and that
alone?
Can we spare them? Wen say
"Nol"
Wen shout and cry Away
with rump'
One hundred thousand hearts
Are very sad and lonely now.
And must We always feel the
darts?
Must Brother, Sister, bear the
blow
And yet KEEP still and not re-
volt?
Or shall we the signal sound,
With saddened hearts and tear
full eyes,
And cry aloud away with

Shall we not ay"Alasl enough!
Thou shalt not farther 60"

DEATH OF AN OLD KING.-King
George of the Tonga IslapGs. the old
est monarch IN the world, died recent
ly. There is great uncertainty about
the exact age of King George, but he
must have been upwards Of ninety.
When he accepted Christianity at the
hands OF the Wesleyans, sixty years
ago. he was baptized by the name of
George. In 1851 the king set Up q free
church in Tonga, based ON Wesleyan
principles; hus protested against the
control of the general Australian con-
ference. AT the same time he appoint
ed Shirley w. Baker, who had been
deprived of the leadership of the Or
thodoX Wesleyan missions, as prime
minister of Tonga. Rakef ruled until
1890, when fhe feeling against him that
existed among the natives eliminated
in a conspiracy against his life. and he
was forcihly removed by Sir John
Thurston, high commissioner of the
Western Pacific, with full consent of
the powers concerned. After this King
George ruled with purely native gov
eminent, assisted in non-poltical mas
tiers by the two European officials.
King lepEse's successor is his great
grandson, Taupa Hau.
