West Point CaGletship.


The following communication has
been received from Edgar Wilson,
member Of congress, with the request
that the state papers publish the
same.
| am requested by the secretary of
war to nominate one principal and
one alternate for examination for
cadetship at West Point Military
acadamy. The examination will
take place at Fort Douglas, Salt
Lake City, March 3, 1896. The ex-
animation includes reading, writing,
photography, arithmetic, grammar,
geography and history and is very ex-
acting. In recent examinations lam
informed less than 40 per cent passed.
Our state has too often been without
representation at this excellent school
and it is therefore greatly to be de-
sired that those appointed may be
able to pass the examination. The
candidate is. of course, subject to a
rigid examination and those knowing
themselves to be Of uhsound body
need not apply. The principal, if he
successfully pass the examination,
secures the cadetship. If he fails,
the alternate is given his opportunity.
They both report for examination at
the same time and place. All appli-
cations for these appointments should
be made as soon as possible in order
that the successful candidate may
have the longer time to prepare for
the examination. Applications
should state full name, age, residence,
place OF birth, length of residence in
Idaho, together with Il brief summary
of the educational qualifications Of
applicant, including the name Ut
school he has attended. These appli-
cations should be accompanied by the
Endorsement of representative citizens
who are we'll acquainted with the ap.
plicant. Applications will be re-
ceiyed until September lst, and may
be addressed to me at Boise.

Spirit Lake Items.


A large party who had been camp
ing on Peter Rodebeck's ranch at this
beautiful lake the past two weeks
started for their various homes We'd
nesday. The party was comprised Of
Edgar Orr, wife, mother and sister,
Miss Myrtle; Mrs. B. f. Long, two
sons and two daughters, V. w.
Hinkle, Frank Walton, Mrs. G. w.
Walton, John Ward and wife, Will
Wyer and wife, Miss Mamie Terry, of
Rosalia, Wash, Miss Lille Smith, of
Colfax, WASH, and Herbert Swain, of
Lone Pine, Wash. The party was
10th to break up so soon as they en-
joyed immensely the pleasures Of an
outing at this beautiful resort, but
most of them are farmers who had to
return home and prepare for harvest.
Miss Daisy Long, member of this
party is very sweet singer and was
highly complimented by neighboring
campers FOR the songs with which she
SO frequently entertained the party.
On arriving home she Will leave at
once for Spokane on an extended visit
with friends.
Another party who had been camp
ing here for few days broke up Tues
day. The breakup was not caused by
row, nor yet because it was time to
return home, but on account of an in
cident that occurred at breakfast on
the last morning. This is the party
of which Ralph Morris and e. M. Pc
tiers of Rathdrum were members. Aft
er the cook had left, Ed. volunteered
to be chef, and he filed the position
admirably until it came to making
coffee. There was plenty of it in the
camp, but no mill Nth which to
grind it, but Ed. is a schemer and tn e
absence of coffee-grinder did not
prevent him from supplying those in
camp with the morning beverage.
He procured one of Ralph's socks,
(Which the latter claims he had worn
for week. placed the coffee into it,,
then pounded it Tine with a rock, tied
the sock into knot and placed it in
to pot of boiling water. Ralph dis
covered peculiar favor in the stlm-
ulant, then Ed. had gave the snap
away, and the camping season for
these two was at an end.

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERIrY: BIMETALLISM.

EVERY practical business man who
understands thoroughly the proposed
funding of the outstanding kOOtenai
county warrants by an issue of bonds,
and who has the interests of Koote-
mai county at heart, is in favor of the
proposition. Many have at various
times asked the editor Of this paper
to explain the proposition in these
columns and make it as clear as pos
sible, for many who will be called up
on to vote on the question do not fully
understand the matter, and it would
be almost calamity to the taxpayers
Of the county should the proposition
be voted down. We have already
devoted considerable space to the
question and shall continue SO to do
until the time for holding the cleo
ton, because we know it will be the
easiest way to pay this debt. But it
seems THE SILVER BLADE is a lone
advocate OF bonding in the county.
There are other places in this county
where newspapers are published and
where it is equally necessary to make
few terse statements regarding the
bonding question for the benefit of
voters. TO a man up tree it looks
very much as if there were people in
this comfy who don't care CONT
mental for the financial condition of
old Kootcnai.
II. ID. SMITH, the condemned MUIR
derer Of John Wyatt near Spangle,

States supreme court in his case, made

once more the Spokane gallows have

charge ought to be severely censired
for the lax manner in which this des-

The discussion now in progress at
Chicago between the author of .tCoin's
Financial School, Mr.. Harvey, and
Editor Horr of the New York Trib-
nne, is growing intensely interesting.
Mr.. Harvey is there to substantiate
the assertions in his book made on
the money question, and Horr is en-
deavOring to prove that the book is
full of errors. Mr.. Horr has made
some broad assertions which he NAV be
able to prove, but it is extremely
doubtful. So far Harvey has the best

He Thinks the Principle OF Perversity
Governs All Departments of Life.

Governs All Departments OF Lites
1t has been observed from time inn
memorial that a curious perversity Of
climate-so we have been accustomed
to consider it-generally provides one
sort Of weather to match a precisely op-
posite sort of clothing Thus a walking
stick will generally attract rain and an
umbrella will produce sunshine.
Indeed the principle Of perversity
governs every department of life.
Should sunshine be necessary it will be
wet. Documents of no importance are
never misioid. We invariably meet the
people whom we are anxious to avoid
and miss those we especially wish to
meet A woman generally loses her
heart to the wrong man; man gener-
ally marries the wrong woman. Every
one will be able to add to these exam
pies almost indefinitely from personal
experience.
There are no accidents whatever in
life. Modern science has established
that every incident is governed by an in
variable law. Careful observation and
the study of statistics prove beyond the
possibility Of doubt that clothes do very
materially influence weather, discov-
cry which should be invaluable not only
to the farmer, but to every member of
the community.
Recent science, moreover, has erro-
neously adopted the theory of the surviv
al of the fittest. The primal law which
governs every circumstance of life is
the survival of the unfttest For in
stance, if a man is to inherit a fortune
from a relative, the latter will surviv,
to extreme old age. In literature and il
art the man of talent fails, the charlataI
attains fame In finance and in com
merce the swindler makes a fortune ant

The First Lesson of an Arab BOy.

The very first lesson which an Arab
baby learns when he begins to talk is
to keep facts to himself. 1t does not
sound very friendly put in that way,
but it saves a deal Of trouble. Foreign
ers do not understand Arabs. They ask
them pointed questions and receive pc
culiar answers. They construe the an
swers to please themselves, and come
away to tell the world that the Arabs
are nation Of liars. They are not a ma
tion of liars. Perhaps if they should tell
the foreigners to mind their own affairs
and let them and theirs alone the for
eigners would understand them better. -
"Yamoud," by Henry Willard French,
in st. Nicholas.
