OFFICIAL LANGUAGES.
There Are Three Recognized in
Polyglot Switzerland
Governments oficiaIS Have 60 BE Lin
gnists-A Curious Controversy Arising
from Complicated Com
difious

AS Is known, Switzerland is a poly
glot country. German is the language
of about two-thirds Of its people, those
who occupy the cantons from Berne
eastward. In the other cantons French
is the language, with the exception Of
Tessin and part of the Grisons, where
Italian prevails. The three languages
are equally official, and all laws and
public documents are published in each,
and either may be used in the discus
sions in the national assembly. In
fact Italian is rarely heard in that
body, the members from the Italian dis
tricts usually speaking in French, as
otherwise they would not be under
stood by a considerable number of
their colleagues. All the members of
both the houses are supposed to under
stand the two principal languages. says
the Milwaukee Sentinel. and this
knowledge is required on the part Of
most Of those in the civil service, in
Guiding post Office and telegraph en-
ployes.
Occasionally inconvenience is expert
enced from the difficulty Of making an
absolutely perfect translation from one
language into another in the case of
laws, and cases from time to time occur
where the official translation of law
in one language differs from it's version
in the other 50 much as to give rise to
conflicting constructions, due to that
difference, by the courts where German
is used and those where French is en-
ployed
1t is said that the French language is
gradually encroaching upoa the German
across the line which separates the two
elements of the population. The
French-Swiss explain this by alleging
that it is due in part TO the comparative
ease with which French is acquired,
and to its greater clearness and con-
venience, and in part to the fact that
the vernacular of the German-Swiss is
patois differing greatly in the differ
ent cantons while the official German is
a literary language and practically a
foreign tongue
Recently vehement complaints have
appeared in the German Swiss papers
that the German language is not re-
ceiving fair treatment at the hands of
their French confederates. 1t is al
legged that in the upper part of the can
ton OF Valois German is slowly passing
out OF use, being superseded by French,
and that the people seem to be grow
ing ashamed of their mother tongue,
which was one of the most interesting
varieties of local dialect, and that
some of the persons employed in the
post and telegraph offices neither I'M
derstand nor speak German. Bitter
complaint is also made of the action
of the officials who had charge of a
recent election in Geneva, when can
tonal law for the adoption of minor
ity representation was submitted to
the popular vote. number of votes
had inscribed on them ia" or ''nein,
instead of 'oui" or ''non," and were re-
jected as invalid.

in southern Arizona, comprising the
land lying on either side OF Salt river,
between the mouth of the Verde ryer
"a tributary and the confluence OF the
Salt river with the ella river.
2. How large is the Salt River val
ley? The valley proper is some fifty
milea in length and averages fifteen
miles in width, containing $50 square
miles, aggregating 4S0. 900 acres OF irri-
gable land, surrounded on all sides by
the foothills Of adjacent mountain
ranges.
8. How does this section compare
with other parts OF the territory The
territory OF Arizona is of q generally
mountainous character very rich in
mines, timber, and live stock, while the
Salt River valley is devoted to agricul-
ture, horticulture and live stock ex-
clusively.
A. What is the climate2 The terri
tory being some $50 miles in length,
north and south, and the altitude OF
the northern portion being from 5000
TO 1000 feet, while that OF the Salt
River valley is but 1850 feet the ter
ritory presents a great variety OF eli
mate. The climate OF the Salt River
valley is semi tropical, with little frost,
no snow, and moderate rain IN the
winter.

Mr.. Hutchinson, the ice man, has
our thanks for several samples of
the commodity he handles.
Mr.. Garrett, brother of H. G ar
rett, the electric light man, is in
town, having come for the purpose
starting work for the plant.
Mr.. Ed. G. Roberts is making a
decided success of the Queen Res
taurant. 1t is credit to the town
that we have such a place. So
many travellers passing through on
the boats and trains, "a place such
as the Queen is a necessity, it being
open night and day, and being CON
Quoted on first class principles.
Everything is served in proper style
and atany hour Of the day or night.
Capt. B. w. Jones, the fearless
navigator Of the Upper Kootenai,
was caller at the HERALD office
yesterday evening. The Captain
reports the Steamer Annerlv max
ing regular weekly trips to Fort
Steele. The rush to that country
has already set in and he is taking
in lots Of prospectors and and sup
plies every trip. Ke has very lit
tie difficulty in running the river
at the present stage of the water,
except at canyon about six miles
above Jennings. Through this
canyon. which is short, he lines up
and down.
Mr.. James Casey returned
Wednesday evening from Salmon
City, Idaho, where he has been for
the past eight months or more.
After spending a thousand dollars
in travelling expenses, he returns to
Bonner's Ferry to reside perma-
nently, and says he has failed to
find a place with the life and bust
ness opportunities to be found here.
Mr.. Casey's family returned with
him. He will probably take charge
Of the Bonner House, Of which he is
the owner, though this may not be
for some time, as Mr. Green's lease
runs for four months yet.
Mr.. G. e. Redman is still the
popular and accommodating agent
at Sand Point. Mr.. Redman must
be very efficient official, else the
company would not retain him in
his position 50 long. Up here at
Bonner's Ferry we have a new
agent every new moon, though we
expect our present official, Mr.. j.
Doig, will be slayer, as he is very
acceptable to the public and handles
the company's business satisfac-
torily. Many of the old timers in
B1nner's Ferry have reason to
remember Mr.. Redman favorably for
his accommodations in assisting
them in getting goods through in
the trying days when the Great
Northern was just beginning to get
a semi-occasional train through
to this point.
