Denounce The carIin Party.

The following resolutions were
passed at the mass meeting of the
citizens of Post Falls, censuring
the Carlin party tor abandoning
George Colgate, the cook of the
party:
REsoLvED-That we extend to
the family Of George 7. Colgate in
there terrible bereavement, the
heartfelt sympathy of this COM
munity.
That we hold VIM e. Carlin and
A. L. A. Himmelwright responsible
for the management of the Carlin
party.
That we express our thanks to
VIM Il. Carlin and A. L. A. Him
melwright for the care and patience
shown toward George Colgate-ac-
cording to their published account
up to the hour when he was left
behind.
That we deplore the long delay
on the river bank-which the long
construction of RATS does not ex-
plain-wherAby- time and food
were wasted that should have been
used, for the sake of the sick COM
panion, in prompt and careful re-
treat.
That we condemn the abandon
ment of George Colgate while con-
fessedly within few hours of his
death, and leaving him on his feet
staggering in the snow without
shelter, without fire, and without
the presence Of a loyal comrade to
close his eyes and note the loca-
tion of his body, as an act of hide
GUS barbary.
That the light of there own pub
lished statements, and such other
information as can be obtained,
we denounce VIM e, Carlin and
A. L. A. Himmelwright as unfit to
associate with sportsmen, wanting
the element of manhood, and their
treatment of George Colgate's wild
ow, wholly void of the considerate
spirit and generosity of gentlemen

THE CARLIN PARTY.


Fifty dollars each isthe reward
Gen. Carlin gave to Lieut.. Elliott,
Sergeant Smart and Private Nolin,
of Troop E, United States Cavalry,
stationed at Vancouver barracks,
Wash, the men who so bravely
faced every danger and privation
which human nature could possi-
bly, Withstand; the men who, for
two long, dreary weeks pushed
their boats over rocks and rapids
in the ice-cold waters of the Clear
water river in the heart Of the Bit
ter Root mountains, risking their
lives many times each day to res
cue General Carlin's son and party
who were lost in the mountain
Businesses.
In our estimation, this is a case
Of the basest ingratitude, in as
much as it is reported that General
Carlin is many times a millionaire,
and had offered reward of $4,000,
which was recalled by telegraph
after the rescue party, headed by
Lieutenant Elliott had left Ken
drick, Idaho, and were far away in
the mountain wilderness, and this
in the face of the fact, so it is re-
ported, that the expenses incurred
in fitting out the expedition were
paid by the members individually,
with no thought of gain, but
prompted by the generous, human
feeling that NOBLE. men have for
another in distress.
But this part of the Carlin epi-
sode is pure charity, when COM
pared with the inhuman action of
young Carlin and his New York
friends in abandoning the old cook,
George Colgate, in the cheerless
Ritter Root mountains, miles from
civilization to DIE alone In the cold
and snow. Thel dispatches state
that the Carlin party say the old
mans limbs hadbeen bruised so
badly by breaking through the
hard crust fS bed on the snow,
that mortifcaffSn had set in and it
was only matter Of d few days
until death would come anyway,
and it was dangerous to stay with
him any longer and risk their own
precious lives, which, by their own
estimation, are worth just $50
apiece. II is one Of the principles
of Western ethics that whenever q
party go together, no matter what
the danger may be, that they sink
or swim, live or Gle together. This
the Carlin party did not do, but
abandoned the old man to his fate.

Ir IS estimated that about 142,-
100000 gallons Of whisky are ly-
ing in bonded warehouses with the
taxes unpaid. Should the tax be
raised from 80 cents (the present
rate) to 81 a gallon on all whisky
hereafter produced, the holders of
the whisky now in bond and ex-
empt from the increased tax would
divide among them pretty plum
of the size of $14,000,000. The
Whisky Trust would proceed to
realize upon the product in bond,
and the government would wait a
year before obtaining any revenue
upon the new whisky subjected TO
the new rate of tax.

An improvement In Glass Globes.

It is well known that Opaque globes
absorb a very large amount of the light
of arc lamps, and whatever present style
of globe if used a dark shadow is cast
directly belowthe lamp. To avoid these
difficulties a new style of globe has been
brought out in France made of transpar-
emit glass with circular depressions, hav-
ing such faces as to form lenses similar to
the well known lighthouse ~lenses), the
c~urvatures II which are SO calculated that
they refract and reflect so as to difuse
the Light. Such globes may be made of
pressed glass and although more ex-
pensive they diffuse light much more
economically than absorbing opal or
ground glass globes.-New York World.

The Reservation Question.

AS much interest is manifest by
our readers in the reservation
question, a REPORT reporter OBJ
tanned the following figures from
the commissioners when in Cot
tonwood, relative to terms of
treaty;
The last and best offer the COM
missioners made the Indians
which will in all probability be
accepted was: The total amount
offered for the unalloted lands,
exclusive of interest, 81 ,626, ,222;
of this amount $626,222 to be
paid the Indians 80 days after
the ratification of the treaty, and
one year from date of ratification,
$4,000 to be paid, and every
SIX months thereafter $15O,000
with interest at s per cent. on
the unpaid portion of $1,OOO,0CO
until the whole amount is paid;
all to be distributed pro rata
among the Indians. OF the first
payment, $626,222, each man,
woman and child, subjects of the
reservation, would receive as
nearly as can be estimated 1913.
Besides this the commissioners
agree that saw mill and flour
ing mill will be erected on the
land and that a sufficient amount
OF timber will be reserved for the
Indians use.
If this reservation is thrown
open In consideration of the pro-
position above specified the Nez
Perce Indians will represent an
extremely wealthy race of people,
as the farms, cattle and the like
already owned, together with this
amount of cash, will place them
financially better off than the
average white.

January 20, 1898,
EnIyoR REpoBr Having just
7 visited yonr beautiful Prairie fol-
the frat time, take pleasure in
meeting your request to furnish
you aper with d few statements
givLg strangers first impres-
zion Of the country as | found it,
When I left the Mississippi
states, the Weather was severe
and heavy snow storms had
blocked the lroads in some
.sectionssand tAe usual winter of
That section was upon us. The
entire iefl of the line and un-
til | began reach the slopes of
the Clearwater in Latah county
I found thscountry we'll covered
with the "beautiful." At Lewis
ton | began to feel as if my trip
had been passing dream, or
that months had been consumed
during my passage, and that l
now stood either in a southern
state or enjoyed the first breath
of approaching spring. AT Lew
iston we took the stage to Cot
tonwood, and as our driver was
both courteous and talkative, we
enjoyed the trip well.
AS one leaves Lewiston, for the
first twenty miles the road pass
es over rolling beautiful prairie
gradually ascending from the
Snake and Clearwater rivers, to
the mountains ahead. Now we
pass into Tammany Hollow and
are surprised at the apparent
thrift and the beautiful farms
and orchards we pass. For sew
eral miles we enjoy this beauti-
full scenery and soon arrive at
Wards place, at the foot of the
mountains. At this point we
change horses and are soon push
ing ahead.
Now we enter heavy timber
and after driving about three
miles we descend a short grade
and are at Lake Waha. This
little "gem of the mountains is
the property of Riggs & Cooper,
where they have built a good
hotel and have fitted their prop
erty as summer resort. The
lake is situate in the bottom of
canyon about 800 feet deep, en-
tirely surrounded by mountains,
with to all appearances no outlet.
This lake receives it's supply
from the numerous springs on
the mountain above. The mail
changed, we return along the
short grade until we are once
more on the main road, and pass
along the backbone overlooking
the lake. Here our driver called
our attention to another small
lake on our left, while Lake Wa
ha is some 300 feet below us on
our right. This divide between
the two lakes is about a mile and
three-quarters wide, and our
driver surprised us by assuring
us that the two lakes were con-
nected by an underground pass
age under this backbone.
From now on we pass through
one continuous forest until Ma
son Prairie is reached. This prai-
rie, situate almost entirely on
the Nee Perce reservation, is a
most beautiful tract of open
land, and on the opening of the
reserve, is destined to support an
immense population. Crossing
this prairie we follow close to
and along the reservation line
and again stop-this time for
dinner at the WillowCreek house
where we enjoy a good country
dinner, and are again travelling
through timber until we reach
the summit of the mountains
about three miles from Cotton
wood.

re- AS ouf-pen Will but partial
ly do justice to the beautiful
scene, we have taken the liberty
of extracting from the decriptive
circular handed US, published by
F. J. Parker, editor of the Free
Press, This description we con-
slider not only excellent but
truthfully describes the country
as we found it, viewing it for tie
first time from the Cottonwood
hill referred to. This description
was written in 1881 but to-day
holds good:
"The tender lights of an after
noon sun bathed the landscal e
in mellow tints as we obtained
our first view of Camas Prairie
from the summit of the Cotton
wood hill On Friday last. TIE
scene spread. before us was one
of enhancing beauty. At our
feet lay the broad and beautiful
prairie, with it's undulations and
gently swelling shopes, softened
by distance into the appearance
of a great, tranquil inland sea.
Stretching away to the eastward,
the dense greenness of it's vegeta-
ton merges into the dull gray of
the foothills, which in it's turn
vanishes into the blackness of
the timber clad mountains in
the background, The eye at first
rests with feelings of refreshment
upon the luxuriant hue of the
vegetation with which the prai-
rie is decked, until the very IT,
tensity of its verdure becomes 8
painful, and We turn naturally
for relief to the grand old noun
tain ranges which form such an
appropriate setting for this Gem
of the Pacific slope,
Looking to the southwark, the
snow-capped peaks Of the Sal
mon river mountains loom grand
ly up, their aerrated SUBMITS
rising tier above tier till they are
themselves overtopped by the
weird and fantastic forms of the
Seven Devils, whose majestic
heights sharply penoiled on the
horizon and clad in all the chaste
grandeur of glitterlng snow, lend
to this enchanting scene an APP
pearance of awe-inspiring severi-
ty that contrasts strangely with
the peaceful landscape reposing
at our feet. The rugged verte-
brae of the Bitter Roots rise
sharply heavenward, and form
the far-off eastern boundary of
the prairie, while spurs of this
mighty range stretch far away to
the northward and form the
rocky-ribbed Ceur d. Alene
mountains, behind whose tower
ing crests rise the pinnacles of
the mother range, priest-robed
with the SHOWS of eternal ages

pretty token.
Soon we reach Cottonwood,
nestled apparently at the edge
of the Prairie, and protected by
the small hills surrounding; vet
upon investigation, taking into
consideration the fact that the
Nez Perce reservation occupies a
considerable portion of the Prai-
rie, we find it is, in reality, very

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

The protest Of ex-President McCosh
against the predominance of athletics in
colleges will be regarded as timely by
many people. The disfavor with which
college presidents are receiving it will
hinder it from accomplishing much, but
perhaps it signalizes the beginning of a
movement which is so thoroughly based
upon reason and fact that it cannot ulti-
mately fail of effect.
1t is patent to every college graduate
that each year of the past twenty has
seen larger developments in the field of
college sports. Twenty live years ago
the youthful enthusiasm was devoted
to study. The student felt that col
lege course was the greatest blessing of
his life. To-day this is true, perhaps,
of the larger class Of students. But to
the large minority sports are a leading
aim of "a college course The enthusi-
asm of youth is vented upon the athletic
field.
We do not mean to say that this mi
nority fully realizes this fact. IL is
only the foolish few that avow their
preference for muscular development.
But it still remains that far too great a
proportion of students place too high
an estimate on the value of college
games. The fact that it may be an un-
conscious estimate es not lessen its
harmful effect. 1t detracts from the
value of the college course, and it has
already worked toward the breaking
down of the rigid mental discipline of
the prescribed courses of study.
1t is not meant to imply that athletics
should be banished. But the time
seems at hand when they are assuming
the all important place. The young
college man who goes into society even
occasionally never hears of the merits
OF the student. Society has its praises
chiefly for the captain of the baseball
team. The athletes are lauded gener-
ously and enthusiastically. The time
has come not only TO consider the facts
as they exist but to view with alarm
their effects upon college education.

DE LEssEPs' CONFESSION.

Charles DE Lesseps' confession regard.
ing his and his fathers connection with
the Panama Canal will add nothing TO
the reputation of either. Both of them
were evidently wronged, but that does
not wipe out their guilt in the matter.
De Lessep says that the Panama com
pany, when the attempt was made to
float the scheme, was held up by high
waymen and blackmailers, and was
compelled to stand and deliver or see its
scheme die almost at its birth.
Now that he has had chance TO un-
burden himself, he hopes that the pub
lie will exonerate him and place the
blame where it belongs.
All such pleading, even were il true.
is wide of the mark. Charles De Les
seps' father took hold of the Panama
Canal when his judgement was biassed
by his success at Suez Charles him
self was an expert engineer. He should
have known that the Panama Canal was
doomed TO failure. His knowledge of
the difficulties should have led him TO
abandon IL. What he did is known.
Having become interested in the plan.
and probably fully known its impracti-
cability, he wished to draw others into
the vortex.
He and his father had purchased the
privileges for e220.000. He needed. he
thought, about ,ei, 100000 He con-
tinued TO pour the savings of his de-
luded countrymen into the sands of
Panama until the credulous people
would submit no longer
He used the government to further
bis plans. Corruption was the key
stone OF his accomplices schemes. His
whole course Of action proves that he
must have been fully cognizant of the
futility Of his plans, and yet he per-
sisted 10 the end.
The confession Of such man can
