SANITARY Day."

The fine old state of Pennsylvania oc-
casionally presents to the public new
idea worthy of all consideration. OF this
sort is the proposal for an annual "Sani-
tary day." which has been laid before
her legislature. The bill which has been
presented asks that the first Thursday in
May every year be designated as SAM
tary day, and that it be devoted to CIV
ing the public instructions in hygienic
science and observances.
There might well be a sanitary day in
every state once year at least, on the
principle of the man who always took
bath once year whether he needed it or
not. Such a holiday would go we'll with
Arbor day. 1t ought to come with the
beginning of hot weather so that all our
people in country and city might be i'm
pressed with the necessity Of thoroughly
disinfecting and cleaning up all their
premises inside and out. The school
children are the ones among whom the
glorious tree planting and tree preserv-
ing movement began. 1t should be the
same with Sanitary day. The school
children are the hope of this nation.
Once they are thoroughly aroused to the
benefits of sanitary science they will do
the rest in their homes and in their out
side surroundings. They will teach their
parents how air and drinking water may
spread death.
Rollo Russell in his book ON epidemic
plaques and fevers complains of the in
struction in our public schools. He says
we compel children to go to school and
learn the history of worthless old kings
about whom nobody cares in the least,
while we neglect to instruct them in
matters that pertain vitality to their own
present and future. His complaint is
just. The public schools ought to be
the great disseminators of sanitary and
hygienic science. Ancient history, even
curious and abstruse mathematical puz-
zles, might well give way to practical in
struction in how to keep clean, moral
and healthy. All this is part Of the
child's education, and the most impor-
tant part. Once child gets broken in
to the knowledge of how delightful q
clean skin, fresh air and well brushed
teeth are, he will never again be willing
to be a filthy, disease breeding little an
imal.

The Canadians are talking of
making Nelson a port Of entry. In
that case American boats would
have to take their cargoes to Nelson
and put them in warehouse, and
if the goods were destined for Kaslo
a British boat would pick them up
and take them to that place, the
American boat being debarred by
the coasting regulations. The effect
of this would be to shut out Ameri-
can boats. What the outcome will
be cannot be foretold. The citizens
of Kaslo have held a monster mass
meeting to protest against such a
course. The HERALD predicts that
this matter will never reach salts
factory settlement until the author
tiles at Washington take the matter
up and retalliate as they did in
the Welland Canal case about q
year ago.

The Chautauqus Literary and Scien-
tifc circle was the happiest educational
hit of the last half century. 1t has
brought pleasure and profit to millions.
DIR. Vincents idea has been taken up in
Europe. We have now in this country
o Roman Catholic Chautauqua, and the
next move will be the formation Of a
Jewish Chautauqua. 1t is now in pro
cess of organization. 1t will follow the
system of DIR. Vincent's circle and be-
long to that body in all respects except
in the matter of religious instruction.
There it will branch off and provide lee
lures and textbooks for itself. The orig
inal ChautauQua circle was organized II
years ago.

be used at the option of any school
in the district.
On all the books selected mailing
prices will be secured SO that any
person in the state may secure any
book at slight increase postage,
etc. J above the contract price.
We append the following list of
books used in our school at the
present time together with prices
paid our local dealers for them.
Though the aggregate cost of the
books is not high, the saving to the
pupils will be consideration. The
benefits of the law, however, will
accrue from the uniformity of text
books throughout the state, so that
pupils changing place of residence
will not be obliged to purchase new
books. The books for each district
are to be paid for out of the district
funds, and are loaned to the pupils
according to certain prescribed reg
ulations.

We have it upon good authority
that Jim Hill will control the rail
road running from Kaslo to the
mines. If this De true the Bon
ner's Ferry route will continue to
be strictly in it. Great Northern
control of the Kaslo-Slocan railway
means that all the ores and nine
tenths of all other business will
come and 60 over the Kootenai.
Bonner's Ferry will be great dis
tributing point for many years to
come. Many have wondered why
Jim Hill was laying so quiet and
letting the Spokane q Northern
head it off. Jim Hill is not asleep
and today holds the silver key tc
the SLOGAN securely in his grip.

THE democrats of Bonner's Ferry
are pursuing a very foolish course.

On another page will be found a
synopsis Of the game law written
for the HERALD by Game Warden
Harry Baldwin. Although the law
reads more like the production of a
Boston bean eater than a western
legislature, yet it is law, and sports
men will have to take notice and
knuckle to it.

THE article in last weeks HERALD
headed "Unmolested Robbers" Gre
ated quite an uproar among the
bunco men and their sympathizers.
But as the bunco men are gone and
we have no desire to attract unfavor-
able attention to the town we shall
not elaborate upon the subject.
The HERALD has no fight to make
against the sporting element so long
as they conduct their business on
the square, as the term is under
stood when referring to that class,
but when it comes to such business
as we referred to last week, we are
dead against it all the time. There
is no use mincing words. People
in other places were getting on tC
this place. They were afraid tc
show up a two-bit piece. They
would hurry through the town in
crowd for fear of being robbed
1t was, therefore, best that this town
get rid of the characters that were
bringing it such a reputation
They are gone, so let the matter
drop. We have no time for argu
ment with those who wanted the
bunco men to stay, of whom there
are some, be it said to the disgrace
of the town.

II is satisfactory to know that the fast
est cruiser of her size in the world is the
new United States man-of-war Detroit.
Foreign naval officers will examine her
with especial interest. Her contract
called for II knots an hour, but she can

builders the handsome bonus Of $50, 900.

lastly, because "such a thing had never been

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

for Pipe Lines.

The Alleys should be Used as Avenues
for Pipe Lines.
EDITOR HERALD Whatever uncertainty
there may be about the public water works
let it in no way interfere with the progress Of
the street paving. Main street has been in
demoralized condition long enough and the
contractor should be allowed to proceed with
the paving on the West side as soon as his
worlcmen and material are ready. When
the time arrives for laying the new water
pipes they can be put down in the alleys and
the street paving can be left intact. The
alleys are the proper routes for all pipe lines,
anyway And let me also suggest that it
would be a good idea if the gas company
should abandon its old pipe lines and lay now
ones in the alleys. ! know some Of the gas
company people say this would be too
expensive, but l cannot see It in that light
Judging from the number Of leaks that have
been reported Of late the old pipes must be
like sieves and will soon become utterly
useless. PRoGREss.

Seeking Her Cousins.

Mrs. Daniel Nolan, of Ishpenning, Mich

search of her two cousins, named Thomas
and Peter Freeman, and she is desirous of
knowing if they are residents of this place.
The lady says she saw an article in the
Shenandoah HERALD referring to a Mr.
Freeman and it led her to write to this
paper. The Freeman mentioned in the
article was Prof. L. A. Freeman, late super
intendent of our public schools, and it is not
likely that he is one of the gentlemen sought
by Mrs Nolan. We know of no other family
in town of that name and the city
directory gives no other. If any Of the

ing it to her address, PIG West Johnston
