FRIENDS.

The bitterest thing to bear, in
this life, is the desertion of sup
posed friends, and the misconstruc-
ton of our best intentions by those
we would help. During the last
years of the life of the Hon. James
G.. Blaine a friend informed him
of the bitter antagonism of an in
fuential politician Mr.. Blaine ex-
pressed doubt as to the statement,
the friend positively affirmed it.
Mr.. Blaine, after deep thought, re-
piled: "It is strange, very strange;
/ do not remember ever having
done him a favor in my life" Our
bitterest enemies are often our
greatest debtors. Those we would
help often return our assistance
with malignant persecution. This
is hard to bear and often seals the
fountain of our kindliest desires
and friendliest spirit against all
demands for assistance and friend
ship. Many a kindly soul has
thus been scared by the hot iron
of ingratitude and become hard,
grasping and suspicious. 1t is
keen and just perception that can
properly determine when the in
dividuals right ends and the
friends right begins. 1t is, how
ever, the only safe ground upon
which society can stand and ex-
ercise perfect justice. The per
feet solace to the bitterness of in
gratitude, is, that all things come
to him who waits, and that all
things will be made plain to him
who is secure in the absolute
knowledge of upright conduct
and pure motives. Now is good
time to take an inventory.

No RiQht To holiness.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at
tractive must keep her health. IT
she is weak, sickly and all run
down, she will be nervous and irri-
table. If she has constipation or
kidney trouble, her impure blood
will cause pimples, blotches, skin
eruptions and a wretched com
plexion. Electric Bitters is the best
medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. 1t gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety
skin, rich complexion. 1t will make
good-looking charming woman of
a rundown invalid. Only so cents

Two agents of the Division of
Forestry left Washington recently
to organize an investigation of
commercial trees, which will be
carried on in Western Washington
this Summer. They will be joined
in a few weeks by about twenty
assistants. The chief object will
be to determine the rate of growth
and the stand per acre of forests
of different ages under varying
conditions. From this data can be
reckoned the time required to pro-
duce a second crop on cut-over
land, and lumbermen can decide
whether it will be profitable to
hold and pay taxes on such prop
erty.
Some work of this kind was
done on the Red Fir last Summer
This will be completed, and about
July Ist the western Hemlock will
be taken up. A party will also go
to California to study the Redwood
about the some time.

THE Silver Party men who are
advocating fusion at any cost may
get little too much of the medi-
cine if they are not careful The
party should be careful who it
sends to the State Convention this
year, for much depends upon the
action of that body whether the
Silver Party lives after the Con
vention or not.

COMMENT is still being made by
some of our exchanges in regard
to the action of the recent Silver
Party State Central Committee
meeting in Reno, and there are
widely different views taken as to
which faction won a victory. The
Wallace people seem to be salts
fed and the Sharon people claim
a victory. This being the case
there ought to be no dissatisfaction
in the party. 1t is good work
that brings out of chaos and ill
feeling a situation wherein each
faction claims the victory.

SOME of our State papers are up
on their moral hind legs for fear a
lottery may get a foothold in this
State, and are abusing everybody
who believes that lottery would
help the State in a financial way.
The papers are backed up by a
pulpit FOUNDER named Huddleson,
in Reno, and an exhorter named
Oliver, in Elko This latter named
specimen of Gods creatures in
dulges in such language as the
following:
Sow card playing in your homes
and you will reap progressive
whist, eucher ETC., etc, sow these
games and you will reap gambler
from your family of boys. Hear
mel | have more respect for the
old bag at Monte Carlo who will
bet her last sou on the last turn
out of the box than | have for
the e women who pretend to be
descent who will have their pro-
gressive card parties in their
homes; they are progressing to
hell, the whole outfit
Sow the square dance and you
will reap the round dance, sow the
round dance and you will reap the
waltz, SOW the waltz and you will
reap spider-legged dudes, sow
spider-legged dudes and you will
reap frizzle-headed heifers SOW
spider-legged dudes and frizzle-
headed heifers together and you
will reap a crop of bastards! Now
do you get onto that?"
We do not know whether Hud-
dleson can come up to the above or
not, but think he used to be able
to when he lived in Sacramento
and vicinity. No lottery is going
to be forced upon the people of
Nevada. They will have a chance
to vote for or against it, and can
use their own judgment.
Some years ago lottery amend
ment was defeated in this State,
and to-day many who voted against
a lottery are wondering how they
are ever going to get water stor-
age system in this State. Had a
lottery been established at that
time there would be at this time
several hundred thousand dollars
in a State Irrigation Fund. This
money could be used for building
storage reservoirs, etc, which
everyone admits must be done by
this State before long to keep in
existence.
If a lottery company would agree
to place from SIS, 5000 to $4,000 a
year in a State Irrigation Fund
yearly for the privilege of doing
business in Nevada, we would
favor lottery, as this seems to be
the only way to get any money to
settle the vexed water question.

Congressman Loren Fletcher, of Min

expressed his appreciation OF the Old
Home week celebration, and his pleasure
in attending.
''It was splendidly managed affair, +"
he said to the PRESS. 81 have at

not remember one where the arrange
ments were more wisely and happily con
ceived or better executed.
"The fireworks were remarkably fine.
have seen many such displays, but
yours in Portland was by far the best
unless an exception be made to the fire
works of the Dewey celebration in Wash
ington. With all the surroundings of sea
and shore, and with the illuminated fleet
in the distance, I am inclined to think
that the display Tuesday evening was I'M
rivalled by any that I have seen.
II would suggest that you take pains
each year to invite home one or two men
from each western state, and have them

their home papers in the West, and in
that way all the natives of Maine in the
West will become familiar with the Old
Home week idea, and will come to I'M
derstand that it is a regularly established
Institution. see no reason W ny fully
fifty thousand people should not come into
the state every August. In Minnesota,
Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dekotas
California, Iowa and other states in that
region, there are thousands of Maine peo-
pie who retain a lively interest in the
state of their birth. August is an excel
lent time for them to get away from their
western homes and Maine is most de.
lightful at that time.''
Congressman Hill, of Connecticut, was
outpoken n his praise of the OCCASION
which he thought most creditable to
Portland and the State of Maine. He
thought Connecticut might adopt the
Old Home week idea.
