LOVE AMONG LApLANpsRs

Curious Customs In Vogue Among In.
habttants of the Icy Land.
When young Laplander is In love
with girl he and she run a race. He
Is heavily handicapped. SO that she
may win II she chooses. and II she out
run him he cannot propose again. OF
course she suffers herself to be over.
taken II she cares for him, but the con-
sent OF her parents must be obtained
before she can be married. The law of
the land Is very strict on this point. and
In olden times the man was subject to
capital punishment II he married with
out the consent Of the girls parents.
After a Laplander has chosen a bride
he sends her present of a girdle, a
ring and n quantity of brandy; he goes
SO far as the door Of her hut. but re-
mains outside until invited to enter.
when bumper OF brandy is offered to
the girls father; II he drinks II 1t is
sign he consents to the marriage, and
the young lover then promises to give
the girl some clothes. and pays a sum
of money, generally 100 copper dollars.
ON the spot. This. of course. is rem
nant of marriage by purchase. which.
in primitive times. succeeded marriage
by capture. Banns are published once
In Lapfand and the marriage ceremony
is very short. The bride wears her hair
loose and has gold band round her
head. Her presents and her dowry are
generally reindeer. and she and her
bridegroom remain with her parents
for a year after marriage.

Yes, Idaho's turn has come at last.
For years she has lain dormant wait
ing. waiting. The turn has been
called, "the clock has struck" the
change has ccme.
The extension OF the Northern Pa
ciiic's Spokane-Palouse branch to
Lewiston. and the further extensions,
the present season, from Lewiston
up Lapwai Greek and up the Clear
water River into the heart Of the old
Nez Perce reservation are working
wonders. And along with this era
os railway expansion, comes the
wonderful discovery Of gold in the
Buffalo Hump country. Here, where
forty years ago the placer mines
yielded 500, 900, ,O00, SO the author
tiles tell us, now are discovered the
most stupendous quartz lodges ever
known between Florence and Elk City
Grangeville and the Salmon River,
the probabilities are that Klondike
will be outdone
Then too, the farmer and ranch
man has his chance. Between Lew
iston and the Hump lies fruit and
grain region famous around Idaho.
The Cold Springs and Camas Prairie
lands can't be beat. AS a fruit and
grain country this region beats Cali
fornia, and now that new mining
c ,mps furnish good and nearby mar
kets and transportation facilities are
so much improved, the farmer will
find these acres to be rs rich mines
of gold fe him as the quartz iedges
are to the miner. So everybody has
a chance here, to make a good turn.
Send two cents TO Charles S. Fee, St.
