The great northwest Is new in history

country has passed from an epoch of

A republican would rather pay the
tax which the democrats say is hidden
in the protoc system of duties, and
have money to spend, than to escape
that tax and have no money to spend.
a democrat wound rather escape the

Some of the finest mica mines i'm the
world are in Idaho and unworked.
North Carolina has n mica OUTPUT of
100000 pounds a year. New Hamp-
shire produces 5000 pound DIS, South
Dakota $4,000 pounds and New Mexico
1000 pounds. The increasing demand
for mica in electrical working will
make mica mines valuable in the near
future and the panhandle of Idaho will

TO Write Articles for Women, On

It il announced that ex-Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison is engag-
ed in writing a series of magazine
articles for The Ladies' Home
Journal, in which periodical they
will begin In the December num-
Der. The series will be called
"This Country of Ours" and will
consist of ten articles and probably
more. The papers are being writ
ten by General Harrison espec al
jy for women, to meet II gf0wing,
widespread desire on their part to
intelligently understand the work
ings of our Government aud the
great National questions 1t will
be- the aim of the articles to eX-
plain in the clear and concise style
for which the eX-President Is M
nous, Just what the United States
Government means; the origin and
meaning of the Constitution; how
laws are enacted and enforced (;
what the powers Of the President
and other officials are; what the
judiciary system means; how our
foreign relations are brought about
and their meaning; how Congress
and the Senate legislate,-in fact,
a complete explanation of the gov
ernment told in Il popular way.
General Harrison writes the artic-
les from the standpoint of a citizen
who understands his subject. They
have no hearing on politics what
ever. While directly intended for
women, the articles will naturally
have much broader scope and
likewise interest men, and espec.
tally young men.
