NOTES AND COMMENTS,

In order to prevent getting up in
the world too suddenly the citizen
of the middle west digs cyclone
cellar. Into this pit he descends
with his family when the black cup
of wrath in the sky is lowering to
the lips of life. In other words
they have to get in and dig and then
get into the hole to keep alive. But
of this precaution, which no family
should be without, there don't seem
to be enough to go around. The
late furies Of the elements in Kansas
Iowa and Illinois would have retreat
ed without the quenching of a single
life had every family been cellared.
The fearful havoc wrought with life
there serves to illustrate the criminal
folly of failing to get in and dig
when both the getting in and the
digging is easy and the weather fine.
1t is the worlds greatest folly, and
its fruits everywhere are poverty and
death. a.
Contrary to our expectations last
week, the supreme court has decided
the income tax an unconstitutional
measure, and this being the last
guess it settles the matter. The
next in order will be to issue gold
bonds TO sufficient amount to meet
the deficiency. When it comes to q
question of justice the people always
get tin the neck. Wonder if the
original intention of this was not to
afford an excuse to issue a hundred
million or so and pocket the profits.
Senator Dubois is in Boise looking
over the late battle field and putting
the broken fences in order, apologize,
ing to his friends and arranging to re.
ward his enemies. On the silver
question the senator says it is not
just the thing for western people tc
advocate the cause too strongly, as
the people of the east will infer thai
that it is done at the instigstion Of
the mine owners and the selfish mo.
tive made manifest would counteract
any good results. Possibly this is
so, bat how about the element in the
east that are opposed to the silver

GETS TO THEIR COLLARS.

There is very interesting little
book called "Coin," and the distress
it has caused in the goldbug camp
bids fair to prevent some folks from
keeping their shirts on this summer.
In fact all the goldbug papers are
becoming frantic over this one little
hook. When we see book assaulted
by such man as Lyman Gage, the
Chicago usury- grabber and 5000, :
900 bank president, we love that
book because of the enemies it has
made. Old Lyman has written a
letter for general publication in the
,goldbug press, and it contains about
all the ammunition the goldbug editors
are using against "Coin. But the
fact that the usury- grabbers are
against It Us fact enough. No further
reason is necessary to prove its ster-
ling worth. "Coin" is hurting the
goldbugs, and while old Lyman
Gage and his crew Of money mongers
and hirelings are jerking their collars
loose and bowling at it, let's go and
buy the little thing and see what's
getting to their collars, anyway.

THE WATER QUESTION,

Communicated.
1t is fact that those who own the
land should own the water.
1t is fact that there should be but
one system of irrigation on the north
side of the Weiser river, extending
to the west end of the Weiser-S Snake
valley.
1t is a fact that one hundred and
twenty cubic feet Of water per second
of time is amply sufficient to irrigate
the entire body of land.
1t is fact that there is a gam of
at least twenty-five per cent in run
ming the same volume of water in
one canal than in two.
1t is fact that the cost of con-
structing and maintaining two canals
is nearly double the expense of con-
structing and maintaining one.
1t is fact that the entire expense
of building and operating one or a
dozen canals will have to be borne by
the consumers of water. Stick pm
there, progressive farmers
1t is fact that the canal already
constructed, considering the very
favorable place for diverting the
water from the river, and that the
entire line is favorable for tapping the
ditch on easy grades, also favorable
for constructing water works for man
ufacturing and domestic use, such as
hydrants for fire purposes, lawn and
street sprinkling, is the best possible
location for ditch.
1t is a fact that those who live
under the ditch now have an oppor-
tunity of settling the water question
for all time by organizing an lrriga-
ton district under the Daily law.
1t is fact that the present owners
of the canals will be compelled to
surrender the same at price mutu.
ally agreed upon with the directors OF
the water district, or at valuation

1t is fact that those who will OBJ
pose the organization of water dis

wrangling to peace, poverty to com
potency, retrogression to advance

nominal. | assume that the manage
ment will be intelligent, and | know
that the people of Weiser valley can
develop and exercise that kind of
management. There is no royal road
to success in that or any other line
that is worth following. We must
not close our eyes to the fact that a
great many men in the community
must give time and thought and effort
to this matter The system will not
run itself Meetings must be held
and people must attend them There
must be unity, fraternity, justice and
patriotism. But all this will have its
reward 1t will pay. The time and
trouble expended in getting the sys-
tenn at work, and in running it intel,
ligently and properly after it is
started, will pay the citizens of Weiser
better than any work they ever put
upon alfalfa or fruit raising, and
would beat any mercantile establish
ment ever known in the valley. 1t
depends upon the people. A little
work put upon this now is an invest
ment that will pay 500 per cent. In
this all may be capitalists. The first
discussion will be of the general
principles, Details will be talked
about afterward. First, do the peo-
pie want to advance? Are they will
ling to make an effort for the sake OF
a future benefit? 1t seems to me
the least that should be done is to
give careful examination of the
question.
Yours truly, H. A. LEE.

A TERRIBLE VISITANT.

Pain is always terrible visitant, and
often domicies itself with one for life.
This infiiction is preventable. in cases of
rheumatism, by timely resort to Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. which checks the
encroachments of this obstinate and dan
gerous malady at the outset. The term
dangerous is used advisedly, for rheu-
matism is always liable to attack the vital
organs and terminate life. No testimony
j. more conclusive and concurrent than
that of physicians who testify to the ex-
cellent effect of the Bitters in this disease.
Persons incur wetting in rainy or snowy
weather. and who are exposed TO
draughts. should use the Bitters as pre-
ventive of i'll effects Malaria. dyspep-
STA, liver and kidney trouble, nervousness
and debility are also among the ailments
to which this popular medicine is adapt
ed, For the infirmities, soreness and
stiffness of the aged it is highly beneficial.

VERY SIMPLE. BIT

The SIGNAL is an alleged newspa-
per and is edited primarily for the
purpose OF supporting the editor and
his dependents, and in order to make
a reasonable show of success in this
direction circulation is necessary.
In order to secure this proper re-
gard for the interests Of the commu-
nity, ard careful and correct state
nlent o the resources and advantages
of The whole country are expected,
and to do this under all circumstances
has been the aim of the SIGNAL.
How nearly we have done so remains
for the public to decide. And, again,
where something that it is evident
would be detriment, it is the plain
duty to call public attention to the
fact, and at least suggest public in
vestigation. But as rule most COM
munities will endorse almost any ex-
aggeration when it is in the direction
of extoling the resources of locality
and generally say very little about
it-damn it with faint praise, as il
we're; but any criticism calculated to
direct attention to some possible move
detrimental to general interests, will
raise howl of indignation, and a.
there is no counter howl to Offset it,
the howl aforesaid is considered unan
imous. And yet as rule the com,
motion ceases to be audible as it APP
proaches the Office, and the innocent
cause remains in profound ignorance
of the tumult. If those who indorse
the course of the average paper were
as liberal with their praise and sup
port as they are with their condemn
alton newspaper work would be q
continual round of pleasure and q
ten column daily would hardly con-
tain the expressions of salts faction

move? Are we to infer that they
are not prompted by any selfst mo-
tives? Secretary Carlisle is making
goldbug speeches in Kentucky, and
so far he has only repeated the old
worn out speech OF John Sherman
and has not given the country the
benefit Of new or original idea
He seems to be doing his work in a
perfunctory manner, all same hired
man.
The Salt Lake silver conference
has met and adjourned and the bene-
fits, if any, are yet to follow. We
hope they may materialize.
The question of bimetallism has
again come to the front in Germany
and is meeting with strong opposi-
ton from the bankers, but the move
ment is we'll supported by the peo-
pie.
Wheat is steadily advancing in
price and the livestock market is
better than it has been for some time
and the improvement looks as though
it might be permanent. The sugar
supply is short and prices will ad
vance later in the season when frui
canning begins.
There seems to be a good deal o
Weiser railroad news on the outsid
and none at home. There is nothin!
new that we can hear of sand the flu
ture intentions of the company is
dark and unfathomable mystery.

The future water supply of this
section, how it is to be regulated and
what it will cost is now the most i'm
portant economic question before the
people OF this vicinity and for once
in their lives they are awake and
fully in earnest in settling it defnitly
and for all time, and o wise move
was made by the parties interested
last Saturday in calling the meeting
at Hemingway school house, of
which the full proceedings appear in
this issue The merits of the district
system are so decidedly in favor of
popular interests as to call for no
argument. The only conclusion is
that under it the consumers will get
water at recuced price, and after
the bonds are paid will own their
own ditch and their own water; and
as the land and water will always 90
together the tendency will be to in
crease the value of the land all
through the district.

Speaking of beans it is quite inter-
esting to read what they are doing in
that line in the Palouse country, more
especially as the climatic conditions
are even more favorable here than in
that section:
Co'ax, May 12-Many farmers in the
Palouse country Will take great deal of
interest IN the introduction OF the bean
tureshng machine mentioned in the
Spokesman-review OF n few days ago. The
bean industry Is getting to be consider
able Of an item in this county. A gentle
man in Pleasant valley is going to put in
40 acres. and several other gentlemen in
various parts OF the county are putting in
fields Of from 10 TO 30 acres. This branch
Of farming has received but little atten-
lion in previous seasons, but when tried
seems TO have proven quite profitable.
farmer near Pennington raised 30
acres last year, and they yielded 90 bush
els per acre. lie sold this crop for "a
cents per pound. Another gentleman
north OF Diamond raised very profitable
l0-acre crop. He hauled his to the Cpur
d'Alene mine and disposed of them more
advantageously than he could at home.
A gentleman on Alkali fiat, south OF
this place, has raised beans for seven OF
eight years, and is planting an increased
acreage this year. Grocers of Palouse
and Garfield have bought them In consd-
cradle quantities this season and are ship
ping them TO neighborlng mining towns
Beans can be rnsed in all parts OF the
Palouse country, and seem to thrive best
on south points and dry places, not in
danger from frost and where hardly any
other crop can be successfully grown
The only variety there seems to be any
steady and adequate demand for is tn,
little white navy varieties, but the market
for these has al WAYS been good.

DECORATION DAY.


The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On flames eternal camping
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The bivouac Of the dead.
So as the years glide on we meet
annually to mingle our thoughts with
the memories of those who before us
have made the last long march and
pitched their tents on the camp
ground of eternity. 1t is good to
know that Weiser will observe the
day with due solemnity this year.
Decoration Day, known in the
Southern states as Memorial Day."
must carry with it an exalted rever-
ence into every sensitive soul The
custom that led up to it originated in
the South before the close of the
civil war. Early in the spring of
each year the Southern women were
in the habit of decorating the graves
of their dead soldiers with flowers,
and thus an unwritten law fixed May
80 as the day of observance. Similar
observances had been inaugurated in
the North with no especial unanimity,
and gradually human love and ten
derness grew out of strife until
factions faded before love for the
dead and all united IN commemora-
ton of the day, and Northerners and
Southerners mingled together at the
same burial ground shedding tears
over the dead soldiers alike, forget
ting what colors they had worn, and
so it was that
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day,
Under the roses the blue
Under the lilies the gray.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of oui
dead
1t is beautiful to see how the ten.
derness that chung round the deac
united the warning hearts of nation.
May 5, 1868, John A. Logan, ther
commander in chief of the Crane
Army of the Republic, issued al
order fixing May 30 of that year fol-
strewing with flowers the graves O.
dead soldiers. There has been ne
federal legislation regarding Decora
ton Day, but many states have made
it legal holiday. AS the old battle
days become more distant the custom
has drifted into a day of tribute t.
all our dead; but still among tn,
spirits that move our souls, the shades
of dead patriots are distinct featur,
that extend back beyond the late
departed to the first origin, so tina
while weeping for those shortly sine,
gone from us we more particular,
remember
How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their country's wishes blessed
When Spring with dewy fingers cold
Returns to deck their hallowed mold,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
BY fairy hands their knell is rung,
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung.
There Honor comes, pilgrim gray
To bless the turf that wraps their clay
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell weeping hermit there
