Dancing and Early Art.

1t may create some surprise that we
regard the dance as the earliest form o!

seem a kind of sacrilege to combine IL
the same category, however broad, suci

irrigation congress AZ sal Lake. two
years ago. and upon which Montana sat

STOCK VS.. GRAIN.

The following from tie Kendrick Ga
zette is applicable to the Palouse coun
try: "This is the thoughtful, studious
season of the year, when the farmers
in this country have more leisure than
at any other time of the year; and
this is the time when they should
tiecuss in arl its aspects the feasibility
and profit OF diversified crops. For
instance, there is no reason the number
of hogs raised ON the Potlatch should
not be ten-fold greater than at present.
All kinds OF grains suitable for feed are
extremely low, and pork IN Eastern
markets is inordinately high, Present
values are higher than they have been
since 1888, ana only once since 1882
have they exceeded the present prices,
Since the American product was ad-
mitted to the markets of the world the
increase in the demand has been won
derful. Let the farmers ponder well
the subject of raising hogs. Let them
raise more hog feed and less wheat for a
few years and thew will have solved the
great problem of low prices for bread
stuffs. The diversifioation of crops, and
the practical results derived therefrom,
would be q much more profitable topic
of discussion for farmer organizations
than intricate national financial prob
lens, which the political farmers of the
period assume to solve with more ease
and dispatch than they do the more sim
pie questions OF domestic finance

sudden rise OF the Danube its 900 in
babitanls were forced to flee from their
muc huts to the church and school.
The advancing waters finally compelled
them to flee from these refugees or be

mother with five children gave up, sank
and persisted in the flood. These we're
followed by many others, the number Of
whom is unknown, and the Survivors
reached Paks in an exhausted pitiabe
plight. No doubt the number drowned
is very large. The people Of Paks are
deeply concerned for their own safety,

REGENT SMITH IN A HOT CORNER.
Spokane Review.

Spokane Review.
If Regent Smith has not been max
ing private snap out of public trust,
he has done himself injustice before the
investigating committee OF the legisla-
ture. With Mr. Smith on the witness
stand the committee has succeeded in
establishing a pretty clear case of petty
boodhng. 1t has been shown that his
vouchers have been in excess of his legit-
innate travelling expenses; that he has
charged up per diem for time spent IN
Oregon and at the republican national
convention; and that he has been chnrg-
ing the state with full fare on the rail
roads, although from his own statements
it is shown that he haF ridden upon mil
cage books and free passes. All this is
serious enough, but mild IN comparison
with his disposal of the interest accru-
ing upon college funds in his possession.
From Mr.. Smiths own testimony it APP
pears that he has not placed this interest
money where it belongs, but holds it as
his own profit and gain. 1t is true be
is willing now to surrender the money,
but men caught in their offenses are al
ways willing to drop their plumber anG
escape the consequences Of their loose
conduct.
The committee in charge of this in-
investigation il doing the state valuable
and commendable service. 1t ia hoped
that it will probe into every suspicious
2etal, and hat its findings will be the
means of shaking off the incompetents
and "snappers," and the ultimate Sc
lection of board of regents capable Of
repairing the havoc wrought by its pre-
decessor.
