Blooms That Are Not Wanted.

The mining outlook in the Amer
lean Kootenai is very bright in
deed, and brighter than it ever was
before, but it will be time enough
some months later to talk of the
presence of a boom. Wait until
something materializes, as we think
it will materialize the coming sea-
son. An attempt to boom as old
country as the American Kootenai
on wind, will simply bring ridicule
upon the town from which it eman-
ates. Men who might be of some
benefit to a camp have contempt
of huge proportions for place that
tries to play them for suckers, and
they generally manage to play back
with full hand. We have enough
of poverty stricken people in the
country now without inviting more
newcomers until we have something
to offer them. We believe it to be
the best policy to give the facts
straight about the country and its
development and let it grow up on
its own merits. A boom on wind is
seldom longer than of sixty days
duration. This may suffice for
those who have a sort of a buncC
game to work, but for those who
have settled down in the country
4 for a perman6ht.residence, it is {
positive injury. If anyone in Bon
ner's Ferry does not like these senti
ments, let them call at our Office
settle their account and stop theil
paper. This institution sees enough
in the fertile valley of the Kootena
and in the treasure vaulted hills or
either side of it to cause us to have
unbounded faith in the country
Governed by this faith we have
settled down here for permanen
residence, and must respectfully
, decline to steer for any buncc
, game.

words, "Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see Cod" and
for motto, "Kind words are the
music of the world"
The society has local member
ship of fifteen, and will meet Satur-
day evenings at the homes Of the
members. The young people are
enthusiastic for the new momement
and it promises to bear good fruit.
The order of the Kings Daughters

with many others which our schoc
teachers have taken for the in

REV. KNAPP's EXPULSION.
Publicity Thereof Has Somewhat Alarmed
the Turkish Authorities,

the Turkish Authorities,
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 8.-The
publicity given to the case OF Rev.
G. P. Knapp has caused consider
able excitement in official circles
here. and explanations which were
not previously forthcoming are
now to be had at first hand. The
Turkish minister for foreign affairs,
Tewfik Pasha, voluntarily declares
that while it is true that Rev.
Knapp, the American mission
ary at Bitlis, is detained at
Diarbekir, he is we'll treated and is
a "guest" at the residence OF the
vail of Diarbekir. 1t is not denied,
however, that it was intended to ex-
pel him from Asiatic Turkey. but
it is probable the represpresenta'
tions OF the United States charge
d'affaires, Mr.. John w. Riddle,
NAV succeed in obtaining from the
porte concessions which otherwise
might have been refused, and that
the missionary may be orougnt
here for trial in the presence OF
representatives of the United
States, which is understood was
the course advocated from the first
by Minister Terrell. tits also hoped
the attention which has been
drawn to the expulsion OF the
Christian missionary and agents
of the Red Cross society from
Asiatic Turkey may have sufficient
weight with the sultan to carry
his plan, which is said originated
with a power very friendly to
Turkey and had for its ultimate
object the substitution for the ex'
PEELED missionaries OF emissaries
OF another church.
