Favors Ankeny for Senator.

The Seattle Times, which supported
Bryan and the fusion forces editorially
discussing the senatorial situation says:
THE question for Seattle to determine
is. What one of the five candidates who
have any show of election would be
likely to be of most value to the metropo-
lis of the slater The question naturally
arises i'll view of MIR. Ankeny's location
living in the southeastern portion of the
commonwealth and being man Of in
dependent fortune and consequently not
i'll any wise tied to Hanna's apron string,
whether he would not be of much more
Importance to Seattle than any other
man named But, of course, to secure
pryper results, it would be absolutely
necessary for the King county republi-
can delegation to support Mr.. Ankeny as
against Wilson and especially as against
Foster

The Cox Residence Burnt.

About o'clock this after noon the fire
alarm was sounded. In a minute the
streets were black with a mass OF
humanity but when the fire was located
far up town the crowd quietly settled
down to normal mental quiet.
The FIRE boys rallied in due order and
hitching the hose cart to hack hurried
forward. They effected connection with
the city water system in short order, and
the blaze, like all fires in this city when
the hose is leveled upon them was
snothered almost instantly.
The fire broke ont in the parlor from
the stove fire. After the FIRE was kindled
the room was vacated for short time
and the roof was i'll flames before any
suspicion of confiagration was aroused.
MIR. Cox carried insurance to the
amount Of $1,000 OIL building and con-
tents in the Manchester Assurance Com
pany. He estimates that the insurance
will about cover the losss. He will re-
build at once. The loss on the house
is about half its real value

The markets are now ready for this
timber. The demands have ontgrown
the supply from one end of the country
To the other.It would sell readily now
and place our institutions above present
want with no dire disaster apparent in
the distant future. Would it not even
be economy to accept present certainty
rather than to face the dangers of in
efficacy from inadequate means to build
good foundation.
The timber is our available resource.
We can use it now and have the land
left for the future, The sale of the tim
Der will promote our interests and make
us better able to support our schools with
public money than we are now.

Our State Superintendent.

Our state superintendent, Miss Permeal
French, i'll an interview with the San
Francisco Call has this to say about oui
school system and her policy:
''In the matter of text book laws, Ida,
no is behind none of her sister states on
the Pacific coast, and find the Califor.
MIA State Teachers association laboring
for the identical thing we are striving for
in Idaho-a uniform course of study. II
is our intention to bring our schools to
the front, making them rank with the
first. As our schools are so shall our
state be, and the people of Idaho are all
imbued with a state pride that augurs
well for both. If l don't do another
thing than to introduce into the schools
of Idaho a uniform course of study,
shall have laid the foundations for pro
gressive schools.
Heretofore our teachers have beer
compelled to go out of the state in order
to brush up OH the question Of methods
As it has been brought forcibly to my
mind that something must be done fol
the benefit of those among our young
teachers who are ambitious, yet who's,
circumstances will not permit them tt
crafty their desire for advancement,
intend to inaugurate summer schools il
Idaho and to supply those schools witt
the very ablest instructors, to the enc
that the teachers of Idaho may receive
every benefit, to obtain which they mus
visit other states. want to see physica
culture carried more effectively into the
schools.
II think that recesses in the schools
should be abolished. I believe in shor
hours and no recess. This would be /;
benefit to the child and relief to TIL,
teacher, removing all possible cause fa
the frequent accusations that the publ,
schools are ia blame for any wrongdoins
on the part Of children. =

Lake Bennett is not yet frozen over. A
great many prospectors are coming up

which was discovered last fall. About
500 pounds of mail from Dawson reached

The noted congressman, Nelson Ding
ley, Is very near death, He has been
suffering from an attack Of pneumonia,
and he was very low at latest report.
The wreck of the north bound Houston
& Texas Central passenger train last
week at the East Fork bridge was COM
pletet save the engine, which kept the
track until it came to a standstill just
north of the bridge. The mail, express
and fur passenger cars were thrown from
the track and completely demolished.
The miraculous escape from death of the
65 passengers aboard is all the talk. The
train became detached and tumbled
from the trestle which is - or Is feet
high About 40 passengers were badly
bruised. Physicians and other citizens
of this place responded to the call for aid,
and Quickly the wounded were rescued
from the wrecked cars and transferred
to this city. About 24o feet of track and
trestle was torn up. One coach was
crushed until the sides almost touched.

Ats p. III. it was two below, which was
colder than at the same time the
previous evening. The highest
temperature of the day was one half of one
degree above zero at $50 p. IN. This was

the temperature struck the toboggan slide

Americans out Of the Atlin country
completely, and preserve its riches foi
British subjects alone. At present Cana
dams are not allowed to take up mining
claims i'll the United States. The speech
from the throne also promises that the

cause of much complaint, will be abol-

Teacher on Pine Timber.
Lewiston, Idaho, Ian. a.

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. A.
| Editor Teller:-The question of the
sale Of the timber upon the state school
lands was brought before the state
| teachers association by Mr.. Reid in the
course of one of his interesting talks, and
the policy of conserving the resources
Tor future generations was advised.
As a general rule public resources are
too lavishly dispensed for current re-
quirements, doubtless, and economy is a
popular theme on general principles.
Public economy, however, it seems, was
made for a theme and not for public
practice
enter upon this subject Handicapped
by principle. The idea of preserving our
wealth should be Taught as principle
and when the subject is reduced to
present interests it should be practiced
as an object lesson to illustrate princi-
pie. In The schools and i'll my work |
place great value on practical examples.
So in this case it may be observed | am
aware OF the general principles directly
opposed to my present theory of practice
The fact is, our future is provided for.
Here are the incentives which allow the
! prodigal to drift into excesses-an inner
| itance III prospect. Our future though
is provided for in the regular school lands
SO lar as the public schools are concerned.
The high schools will look out for them
selves III measure as they build up
| merit by years of usefulness The CRYING
demand OF the present is existence while
they are growing. Their future vigor
aud Usefulness may be impaired by a
stintdd infancy.
In TACT 1t appeals to ME that the tim
Der on our lands are our only available
present resources outside of direct an
preparations supported by taxation. A
tax - direct burden, and then it is not
popular from principle nor from ex-
periehce. We should refrain from a
direct tax as much as possible for the
support OF our institutions. Taxes are
poison 10 reiormer's ideas and anttdotes
OF patriotism. We should look to the
lowering Of taxes and pave the way for
that blessing by selling onr public timber
while we are poor commonwealth in
swaddling clothes
by selling our timber now we will have
the land left. These forest clad slopes
VIII make productive fields in the bright
future and the fields may be worth more
IMAM the forests even within ten years. |
The forests are dying and land would be
enhancing. This fact complexities the
economy OF waiting for better market
for our public timber. The trees are
dying by limitation of allotted wears
Pine forests are vanishing and nature is
planting tamarack and fir. If we persist
III saving our pines we are oppisiug
nattirf's law. That would be inconsistent
to pre- och unnatural economy.
1t would not be economy to try TO save
this timber against natural decay and
against the forest fires that threaten. II
Is a hazardous risk to try TO save it over
a decade of years

Winter

Of adversely is up
on you, if you've been
wise and have procur-
ed a pair of good shoes

can laugh at trouble.
But if you have been

that you spend care

saved and put into
warm winter shoes,
would keep you and
your family healthy
