Hopeful for washington County.

Mr.. Horace c. Newman, who has
been at Cascade Locks and Portland |
for the last twenty months, returned |
last Thursday. Mr. Newman says
that all the coast country is ex-
tremely dull and the number of I'M
employed men is distressing. There
being no available money to continue
work on the Locks all operations
there are at a standstll. Many of
the employed went to Rossland and
other points in British Columbia,
but send back discouraging reports,
lots of men and no work From Cal
ifornia comes the same story. AS
result the general tendency is toward
Idaho, and as many as can will drift
in this year, mostly to the mining
sections. And the interest of this
country is not confined to lahorers
alone, but people of means are be-
ginning to recognize the fact that
the chances for safe and paying
mining investments are better here
than in the places of greater not
oriety. His observation leads him
to think that this will be year of
greater permanent development than
this section has ever known. BY this
section is meant the counties of
Washington and Idaho, and he thinks
no other localities offer better opp0r-
tunities for home seekers, and with
the needed development of our i'm
mediate mining interests will open a
good field for much unemployed la
bor. The winter on the coast has
notsbeen very cold, but has been un-
usually stormy and unpleasant. Yes,
the eyes of very many are turned
this way and we may be sure of big
increase in population, and you know
that with moderate development Ida
no can take care of them. Many will
start too soon, forgetting that oul
mountain regions are not fairly pass
able before June. Yes, if the rail
road should commence construction
there would be no need of importing
laborers, they are already in the ives
and good ones too, in any numbe
only too anxious to work

LIES DREARY WINDS.

oh dreary winds how lonely,
WHY moan all day and night;
IL makes our hearts so sad,
When there is nothing bright in sight.
Remember we are mortal.
Our lives are not our own;
They are mortgaged to our Creator,
10 pay for flesh and bone.
oh give us bright bright days,
To cheer us on our road.
Then we will e'er remember
And praise you to our God
oh clear away the clouds
Yes, blow them far away;
Let the sun peep in the window
And brighten up the day.
oh keep those dark clouds moving,
Drive them out OF sight,
That the moon and stars may cheer MS
Each and every night.
Then keep right on waiting
Those zephyrs. soft and warm;
1t will cheer our hearts. so saddened
BY life's dark and drcary storm.

1.-The first step toward the real enamel
patton of women is TO establish institus
tions designed to, in measure at least
relieve them from the interminable cares
of household and children" Yes, that is
the first STEP but the question as to
how 1t is to be done is not so easy to be
decided. Every experienced, thoroug-
going housekeeper knows what a care "a
girl in the kitchen" means What women
as rule need is relief from the general
household cares and more time to spend
with her children. kindergarten schools
are an excellent thing-l wish we could
have more of them-but nothing can take
the place of the mother training" of the
child. The one duty above everything
else that devolves on woman of family
is the training of the little ones. Who
can 50 successfully watch and understand
the peculiar disposition of each child and
who so carefully direct its thoughts in the
proper channel as. the mother? | want to
entreat every mother TO think well on this
subject. The women of Idaho are TO
vote. Well, since il is our privilege, il is
our duty and IA very serious duty, Let
us try to attend 10 it inteligently, But
to you who are mothers. | want to say
once more: DON'T FORGET THE LITTLE
ONES.

with a rufiie of the satin, both neck and
sleeves being finished with Duchesse lace
of the finest pattern. The bridal veil feli
over the traine and was fastened with a
sunburst of diamonds, the gift of the
groom. The bride bore. a bouquet OF lilies
of the valley. Miss johnson, the maid OF
honor. wore a beautiful gown of lavender
brocade and Wore Jacqueminot roses.
The bridesmaids wore exquisite costumes
of organde made over silk OF the same
color. with low neck and short sleeves,
those of Misses Leigh and Stinson being
Clench green. They all carried shower
bouquets of pink roses.
Immediately after the wedding cere-
mony at the church. which was most
successfully carried out in every detail.
came the reception at the home of the
brlae, q Warren street. Here Mr.. and
Mrs. Atkins and the bridal party receivet
about 500 of their invited friends of
Hallowell and the neighboring cities.
Many were present from a long distance
and it was a brilliant party. Mrs. Atkins
wore an elaborate costume of black and
white brocade satin with court frame
and diamond ornaments. She carried
white roses.
The decorators had performed wonders
in the beautiful house. every, room be-
ing a mass of floral beauty. The parlors.

WHITE ana GREEN. the IHuSlc Iooui III pIlih,
the dining room in yellow; and the hall in
green and white.
The catering of the reception was done
by p & J. Bessee of Boston. and was in
keeping with the elaborate scale of the
whole affair. An interesting feature OF
the reception was the signing of the we'd
ding certificate by the guests. all the
hundreds present signing it as witnesses.
The party that filled the house was a
merry enc, and the newly welded couple
were the recipients OF CONGRATULATIONS
and good wishes without number. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson possess and de.
serve to possess, a host of friends and
the number is sure to increase with the
years. The marriage of these two young
people is notable event in Hallowell
society, from their prominence. wealth and
popularity. and all unite In wishing them
a long and happy welded life. Its begin
ming is certainly suspicious.

of financial distress was passing over the
country such as had never been known

it Is Ito that purpose the greater part of

help of other officers and my staff | have
been fairly successful.
| commenced my labors by reorganizng
ten new camps, which were on the verge
of disbanding. and encouraged in many
ways and offered financial aid to num-
