Est ecial effort is being made
this year to promote the culture of
fax ca the new reservation farms.
The newly broken lands Of that
district are emmently adapted to
fax culture. Flax is susceptible
to I'M Jury from foul growths on old
fields 1t is therefore desirable to
encourage its cultivation on the
new lands of the reservation.
Contractors are abroad in the land
offering to furnish seed and to pay
good prices for the crop Of 1899.
The opportunity for a diversity of
crops is worthy of consideration at
the hands of the reservation farms.

State Auditor elect Bartlett Sin
Clair is au advocate of an open
river and the idea of an open
river congress. This semi. official
move should give impetus to the
important subject. The citizens of
Lewiston should take initiative in
the move for a congress and it
should be held in Lewiston. The
open river question is the one
most important in the scheme of
transportation and other accessories
OF commerce. The open river
would bring all railroads in this
basin TO the Lewiston gateway.

The desire 10 ecouomize on ap-

ment aid for the open river project.
The western influence should be
united on this subject. Il there,
fore behooves the parties in inter.

present to present the open river
question as an emergency case.
The war measures come first in all
questions of government, but our
demand, for relief should be con.
sidered even in tunes Of war.

For the benefit of newspaper
men who are afraid of disease

that ice is always applied to the

Men should have an efficient
remedy for temper. Science
assumes jurisdiction over hysteria
and dementia. Why haye we no
prescription or patent medicine for
temper If pharmacy affords no
antidote for temper the law should
protect the public and household
from the man or woman who is
afflicted with bad temper.

The little things are liable to be
more than ever neglected at this
time of general prosperity. There
is evidence in the local markets
that home industries are suffering
from the neglect incident to the
present business boom. The mar
kets are supplied almost exclu.
sivcly by importations. The
natural products of our farms are
insufficient to the demands of the
local markets. No district in the
world affords a greater diversity Of
idigenous farm products than the
Lewiston valley. Poultry, dairy,
orchard and garden products are
far below the demands of the local
markets. 1t is estimated that a
$1,000 week goes out of Lewiston
valley for these items. This is not
public or private economy. 1t is
a waste no community can with
stand and prosper. 1t is a waste
that is not justified. These items
OF local trade can be produced in
the Lewiston valley cheaper than
any other place in the world.
There is no probability OF these
products being supplied in exces-
sivc quantities i'll the near future.
Lewiston is good market even
Tor the fruits Of other districts.
Increased facilities for transporta-
ion TO the interior will further III.
crease the demand for all these
Natural products Of our Lewiston
ALLEY garden farms.

1t is the defined policy of the ad-
minislration voiced through the
bill introduced by Senator Hoar to
have the volunteers returned home
as soon as possible. The bill voices
the sentiment that the terms of
their enlistment expired by limita-
ton ct the close of the war. Secre-
tary Alger is said to favor this
measure aud it is surely in accord
with public sentiment. The vol
unteer5 without doubt believed
they were enlisting to fight the
country's battles and not for gar

The people OF Moscow have
spent their winter days generally
in political discussions but since
the last election they have but one
party and no strife. Now they
give this time social and moral
questions. The minister of the
Gospel recently published res
olutions on the subject Sunday
funerals and that question has
divided Moscow society, and ii calls
forth contentious and counter in
vectlyes Next i'll importance to
the funeral fashions in Moscow is
the gambling question. In that
city gambling is prohibited, but
not prevented by city ordinance.
One week ago warrants were issued
tor a large percent of the citizens
of the city for violating the gamb.
ling ordinance. This last inter
ference with personal rights as the
papers term the enforcement of the
law created a sensation. Some of
the papers have even cited Lewis
ton as an example of wise govern
ment and good morals. The in
ternal strife of our sister city is to
regretted but the change:of heart
toward Lewiston is joyfully noted

It was thought at one time that wear

The story is. told by old historians that
carved stone lion On the shore Of
Cyprus had such brilliant emeralds for
eyes that the fish in that part of the sea
were all frightened away and not till
the fishermen had stolen the emeralds
and replaced them by green glass did
the ;finny Inhabitants return to be

Low settings, which of late years
have rather been overlooked, are very
beautiful, especially for stones like the
turquoise, opal or topaz. When a stone
is sunk flush, with the surrounding
metal it becomes a spot of color in the
midst of a molding or chasing which is
attractive in itself, but the modern
method permits no decoration of the
gold or silver. Antique jewels. are al
most invariably sunken. sri -.,
OF late years the ruby has become so
rare that it's price isbeyond the avera ge

dark ages protection against evil and
a help to cheerful disposition. In
China ruby is put in the corner stone
of building to insure good luck. Our
best rubies come from the Burmah
mines, which, before the English took
possession, belonged to a king who
iealously guarded them. No FOREIGNER
