world. Until such communication is Sc
cured, Hawaii will remain isolated To
do everything within our power to estab-
lish such communication is and must con-
tinue to be one of the chief items of Ha-

ROOT BEER is NOW UNDER THE BAN
Chicago Temperance Workers Declare II
an instrument OF the Devil

thlcngo temperance workers Declare 1t
an instrument OF the Devil
Chicago. June 22.-The much adver-
tised and heretofore thought TO be
harmless root beer has been declared
an instrument of the devil by the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union,
and hereafter it will be classed by that
organization in the same category with
hofbrau, dogshead, whisky sours, Man
haitian cocktails and other unmention-
able concoctions. War was declared
some time ago on this beverage. but
hostilities were allowed to lag for some
time. Now, however, the battle has
been renewed with increased vigor, and
the good people of the country are
warned not to consider the drink non
alcoholic merely because in it's manu-
facture no alcohol is put in" 1t is
set forth that in the process of fer
mentation, which is an essential step
in the preparation of this so-called tenn
perance drink, alcohol is formed from
the decay of the saccharine matter,
often in an amount fully equal to that
found in malt liquors.

Never Has There Been Such Fierce Com
petition by Buyers.

Pendleton, Or, June 22.-Prices ruling
IN San Francisco and the east cannot be
said to differ materially from those quoted
one week ago. Consequently, the legit-

bought here are destined for those points.
Nevertheless, a spirit of speculation has
taken possession of all who are buying
Tor outside houses, and the past seven
days have seen some lively 'scrapping"
between the competitors. Figures on all
sales have crowded well up toward the
S1A cent mark, and in some instances,
when choice lots were being striyen for,
even more has been paid. One Boston
buyer went over the mountain and pald
above 9. so that the wool, when laid down
in Boston, represents a fraction above IL

IN GOOD CONDITION..
General Marion Says the Bitter Root Is
Thriving.

Missoula, May 9.-Gen. ]. Z. Marion
came up from Frenchtown yesterday,
accompanied by his son, on a brief bus
mess trip. To a Standard reporter he
said: THE lower valley was never in
better condition than 1t is at present.
The recent rains have been heavier
with us than here in Missoula, and the
drouth which threatened us has been
averted. The grass and grain are look
ing well, and the stock range is in
splendid condition. The farmers in our
section, with few exceptions, do not
irrigate at all, and the rain is a great
benefit to them"
General Marion said further that the
grain crop in Grass valley and the vi
cinity of Frenchtown will be much larg-
err this year than usual, as there has
been a better demand for the oats
raised there since their excellent quail
ty has become known. 1t will be re-
membered that the oats and hay that
received the highest award at the
worlds fair came from Grass Valley,
and were raised by Casper Deschamps
and John Cyr. This is good evidence
of the quality of the products of this
valley, and there is all the more cause
for rejoicing that the recent rains have
insured good crops.

road employee. on the extra list in the
train service. and one of the women Is
the wife of another railroad man. The
second woman Is unmarried. but she
seemed to know how to use a, whip
all right. The. women claim that the
victim OF their wrath had been making
remarks about them which no gentle
man should make concerning a lady,
and they sought the conventional
method of avenging the slur cast upon
their regulations. The women paid a
fine for simple assault this afternoon.
