REED AND THE WEST.

A writer in tho Sacramento Bee is
after Speaker Thomas Bracket Reed
for sighting criticisms Of Western
States in which the speaker took &C
casion TO- express regret that he had
ever voted for the admission of those
commonwealth, (which have done 80
much to check the development and
best interests OF the country"
The writer has use Of words and
style all his own. He speaks OF This
sublimated Gear, who bestrides this
narrow ULion like a Colossus, decid-
ing what argosies shall be permitted
to enter into the harbor Of legislative
appreciation" Then he goes on to
pay a glowing tribute to the empire
of the West out Of which has been
fashioned some of the grandest jewels
in the diadem of states and in doing
80 gives Thomas Bracket Reed this
cauterizing that is altogether enjoy
able from western point Of view:
@For these Western States have
been, unto the Union like oxygen un-
to life. Into the veins of liberty,
weakened, down hearted, sadly
dropping in the depressing atmos-
phere of Eastern snobbery and wor-
ship of riches and names, they have
poured tho rich, warm, bounding
blood of Freedom--a Freedom as
broad as their own prairies and yet
as pure as their breath; a freedom
that bears with it the spirit of the
olden times, the golden times of
American history; the times when
men dared and did; the times which
have encirc led this land with such an
aureole of undylng patriotism and
glory, that even the mugwumpery
Of New York, Massachusetts,, Maine
and other EngGshphobiac states can
not dim the one nor tarnish the
other.
"Into the restless and feverish body
OF the Union, to some extent diseased
with the Eastern microbes of love
for all other countries but their OVID,
these western States have instilled
again the rich and precious ife-cur-
rent of a true Americanism 80 Wig
orous, so strong, 30 vital, that even
Thomas Bracket Reed cannot veto
it.
@God will forgive you, Reed, for
having aided in the admission of
Western States.

Made Entirely OF Bricks.

Very few people know it but it is
fact that the pension Office building
is the largest brick building in the
world. it has been subjected to
much criticism, but it can stand it,
for as the time passes along there are
many things seen about it that es.
capped notice when it was newer. In
all there are over 100000 bricks in
the building, says the Washington
Star. Gen. Meigs took liberties with
bricks that no other architect had
ever attempted. He not only used
bricks exclusively for the building,
but he used them in constructing the
stairs throughout the building. In
the matter Of stair building bricks
have often been used for the raiser,
but the step has always been Of iron
wood, slate or stone. In the pension
Office both raiser and step are of
brick. AZ brick building, there
fore, pure and simple, it is unique in
construction, outside Of the fact that
it is the largest exclusively brick
building in the world.

An Important Industry.

Eppinger & Griswold's Soda Works
OF soda Lake, Churchill county, is a
State industry that the people gener-
atty have no knowledge Of. They run
a l2-horse team between the lake and
Desert, station on the G. p, five
miles east of Wadswortb, making four
trips a week. At the lake they are
fitted up with pumps, watts, etc, to
pump the water into the watts and
extract the soda by solar evaporation
1t takes all summer to work vat
and twenty-five watts produce about
500 tons of soda. Mr.. Eppenger is in
charge of the works. At Little Soda

INDIAN LAcEMAkgRs.
lEohonls who Have . New Inaustry-
Solving . Race ProbIem.

e
At the Mohonk Indian conference,
now in session, some remarkable speci-
mems Of lace and silk embroidery. made
by the Indians, have been exhibited.
It seems that lace making has been in
troduced by Miss Sybil Carter. who
finds the Indian women particularly
adapted to the, work. Very likely this
fitness exists. but 1t seems pity to
divert them from more artistic work
o. the kind many of them perform now
to the making of lace. There is sort
Of incongruity about the new occupa-
ton. If. as Mr.. "a. Il. Smiley declared.
the Indians are the most artistic peo-
pie in this country. they might we'll be
allowed to pursue that form of art
which they have developed for them
selves. and which may reasonably be
supposed to be most conGrI;ous to their
talent and disposition.
Whatever opinion. is held of the dis
erection of some details of the work
Of those represented in the Mchonk con-
ference, the fact remains that these
men and women have done much to
help the rational solution of the In
dian problem. They have made familiar
the idea that the tribal relation is the
great hindrance to bringing the Indians
under the same laws and according
them the same privileges that belong
10 others born on the soil of this coun.
try. They have worked stoutly for
the allotment of lands in severalty
and have exerted nm unmistakable in
fuence on legislation concerning In
dian affairs and on the administration
Of the law as It has stood from time
to time.
The society was jeered at in it's earlier
days, and is still disliked by some of
those who cling to inherited notions
that are not so true now as they once
were, and that never represented the
whole case, but only one side of it.
cruel and abominable side to be sure,
but not the only one to be considered.
The condition of the Indian in rela-
ton to our civilization is already
changed almost beyond recognition.
and much of the credit for the change
belongs to the members of the associa-
ton that meets every year at Lake

Snake and Lizard I'm a TreetoI

snake and Lizard In a Treetop.
While in the country recently the
editor of the Gazette saw blacksnake
trying to capture lizard for it's din
ner. The lizard had the best of the
snake in the contest, which took place
in cluster of saplings. The lizard
would run up sapling clear to the
top and patiently wait until the snake
would slowly wind its way about half
up the sapling, when the lizard would
jump from the top Of the tree to the
ground, and the snake would fling it
self from the tree, both striking the
ground about the same time, but before
the snake could get itself Strengthened
out the lizard, which did not have to
uncoil, would scale up another sapling,
when the snake would repeat its effort
to procure dinner. The snake, not be-
ing the ready climber the lizard was,
was at a great disadvantage in the con-
test, and after many efforts apparently
gave it up as fruitless job.--Greenup

was assigned to duty in Canada With
the Ninety-fifth Brigade. At the expir-
alton of his term he resigned and went

mer c. Potter, the Elmwood quartet,
the Dorcas quartet, and the H. H. S.

dence that certain man with a griev-
ance has warned some of the artists
that if they appear and take part in
said recital they must cancel their en-
gagement with the Graham fair, of
which he is committee. This man
approached Miss Mae M. Hayes in an
authoritative way and commanded her
to renounce the dramatic recital, when
he was politely informed that she would
appear, as per hef engagement, with
the recital, but would not appear at
the fair, for she has always kept dates,
as she will this time, and will be there
to show her ability as the phenomenal
child elocutionist and delight those
present
Time will tell whether the pressure
brought to bear on the artists, which he
is so unmanly doing, will result in the
breaking Of one promise, for all but one
have guaranteed to appear at any cost.
