The rapid settlement OF the
reservation and the successful
demonstration Of its wonderful Ter
tility and resources gives 'ha'
locality prominence in considering
the development of the interior.
Few reservations have been opened
Of late years with as little demon
stration as attended the opening
Of the Nez Perez reservation and
fewer still could show as large
percentage of prosperous contented
settlers as are found here. The
crops were excellent and the gar
deus yielded abundantly. Out o.
the surplus arising from only
small portion of the available
arabic land they are busy building,
improving aud preparing to IN
crease greatly the acreage under
cultivation.
The result OF this settlement and
development is seen in the IN
creased trade from the reservation
districts. Lewiston has proiited
largely by this increased trade, aud
BY reason Of its superior location
will be able to hold the greater
portion Of this increased and in
creasing business, providing that
due consideration is given to the
question Of opening and improving
Of all highways leading to the in
terror settlements. The trade Of
the reservation will go in the lines
Of the best transportation facilities.

Disseminated.

A lady who had too much Of a good
thing" was the mother of hat doughty
champion of the English church, Rob
ert dc Ursula, bishop of Durham in the
thirteenth century. This bishop had
risen to his high estate from a very low
ly station. Yet he was neither ashamed
of his origin nor had he the vanity often
so apparent in self-made men. He was
never averse to abiding TO his former
life. One anecdote especially illustrates
his simple candor.
At one time the lord of Scremerston
sent him some country ale. The bishop
had for a long time been unused to that
humble beverage, yet out of respect to
the giver he tasted u cup of it and it inn
mediately made him i'll.
"See," said he. "the force of custom!
You all know my origin and that Meth
err from my parents MOI from my coun-
try can | derive any taste for wine; and
yet now my country liquor is rendered
absolutely distasteful to me-"
But his mother did not experience the
satisfaction she could have wished from
the change In their mode of living. The
bishop gave her a train of male and fe-
male servants and an honorable estab-
lishment. such as would befit the family
Of one who had come to such high dig
nity.
He visited her afterward and found
the dame in anything bat a sweet temper.
"What ais my sweet mother?" he ask.
ed. "How fares -she?"
"Never worse" was the reply.
"And what ails thee. then, or troubles
thee?" continued the good SON. Hast
thou not men aud and attend

yea" quoth she, "and more than
enough. l say to one: Co. and he
runs: to another: Come hither, fellow
and the varlet falls down on his knee.
And, in short. all things are abominably
