grower, makes fine wood, ia evergreen,
has thick, dark foliage, has beautiful
form, and when needed the bark is the
best known for tanning purposes. Any
quantity OF the seeds can be obtained
from the trOes at Colgrove at the proper
season, and as they are easily propa-
gated, this part of the state should in q
few years show large forests OF them.
One has only to see this tree at this
season OF the year to be fascinated with
it. 1t is most desirable, whether for
ornament or utility.

SAN JOSE. May 25.-rhis afternoon
the grand lodge of the Knights of Py-
thias selected Monterey as the place for
the next annual meeting. Five hun
dred dollars was voted for holding an
encampment of the uniform rank at that
time. Two hundred and fifty dollars
was voted to the San Francisco bureau
OF relief and 500 eNch to Los Angeles
and Sacramento. This shows, of course,
that the order refuses to abolish the
bureau of relief. The grand lodge re-
fused to reduce the salary of the grand
keeper of records and seals, which is
now $4,000 year. The per capita tax
was fixed at 81 for the coming year.
Ten per cent OF this will be devoted to
the erection OF q Pythian home, which
is in view. There ia already $1,000 in
the fund. Offers of site have been re-
ceived from Monterey, Benicia. Arroyo
Grsnde and Stockton. In keeping with
the ruling of the supreme court of Cali
fornis, the grand lodge decided that
local lodges can reduce tho sick benefit
if they see fit. The grand lodge refused
to hold bi-annual sessions.

How mems reason is warped by
parti.an politics is illustrated by
the way the result Of the Oregon
election was received in certain
quarters. Down at Moscow, in this
state, the republicans celebrated the
event in the most elaborate manner.
Now let us see what the Oregon
election means and what there is to
celebrate over. 1t means princi-
pally the return of John n. Dolph
to the United States senate. Dolph
is as mean a gold bug as sits in that
body, not excepting John Sherman.
On every vote effecting silver, he
will be found lining up with the
rest of the gold bugs against Idaho's
chief industry and the prosperity
of this state. Then just what there
is in the Oregon election for an
Idaho citizen to celebrate over is
beyond our comprehension. I'm
till silver again occupies the
place it did before this country sur
rendered to the British money kings
Of Lombard street, Idaho and the
balance of the r-mountain coun-
try will see no general prosperity.
1t would seem to us that it would
be poor method of advancing the
interests of our mining industry by
celebrating a gold bug victory. We
can conceive of an Idahoan prefer
ing Mr.. Dolph to Mr.. Pennoyer,
as choice between what he regards
as two evils-but it is not usual to
celebrate an evil event. So we must
repeat that we are stumped at the
action of the Moscow republicans.

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.

That the Kootenai Valley is not
the only locality that has suffered
from floods this year will be learned
from the following which we clip
from one of our daily exchanges.
All reports, it should be noted also,
state that the waters have been the
highest at the various places, within
the memory Of the oldest inhabitant:
TACOMA, June 9.-As a result Of
numerous interviews with railroad
men and others competent to maze
partial estimates, the Ledger has
compiled table showing that the
most conservative estimates Of the
great damage wrought by the floods
in the Northwest, including the loss
of business, may be tabulated as fol
lows: City Of Portland, 100000;
Union Pacific railway, 100000;
Canadian Pacific railway, 100000;
Great Northern, 100000; Northern
Pacific, 100000; salmon canning
industry, 100000; Columbia river
dykes, built by the city of Portland,
100000; farms and crops, $1,000
900; total estimated loss, $5,2O0,-
900.
In addition to the above, the
city of Pueblo is damaged $4,000
600; Boulder, Colorado, 81 100000.
Coming nearer home, Kaslo re-
ports loss of $25O,OOO, including
the loss of IS buildings. The
smelter works at Pilot Bay are
flooded. Balfour and Ainsworth
both suffered loss. Conconnully
and Ruby City, over in Washing
ton, were entirely washed away.
The Calispel Valley, below New
port, is said to be ruined 25
houses were washed away at Hope,
and considerable damage was done
at Clark's Fork and Sand Point
Now, what is the record here?
Three houses washed away. A few
hundred cords Of wood is also gone.
Aside from this there is little al
rect loss to report We do not
mean to say that the flood was not
calamity to this place, but we do
claim that the town was let IF
with far less serious consequence S
than many other points supposed
to be above the danger line. The
loss incidental to the flood, such as
the stagnation Of business for the
tima, the expense. trouble and wor-
ry Of moving around, the expense
Of putting premises in repair again
all these are serious, but not so
much 50 as at many other points.
The present should be taken a.
it is-an off year on the water
problcm-not likely to occur again
in half a century.
