All For Idaho.

Washington, May "a. - The amend
ment introduced by Senator Shoup for
the establishing Of fish Matching and
fish culture station, including construc-
ton of buildings, ponds and equipment
in Idaho, was embodied in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, reported to the
senate today. The committee, however,
insisted that no part Of the appropria-
ton shall be used for purchase Of site.
1t has been the custom for many years
in establishing fish Matching stations in
different parts Of the country to require
donation of the site by the state in which
the fish hatchery was located or by citi-
zens.
The bill also contains the amendments
proposed by Senator Shoup relative to
establishment of branch of the national
home for disabled soldiers on Fort Sher.
man military reservation in Kootenai
county. Idaho, providing that the board
of managers Of the national home for dis
abled soldiers shall inspect the building:
on said reservation and grounds con
tanned therein and make report to con
gress at its next session as to what addi
tional buildings, if any, should be erected
thereon for the proposed branch home.

WILL CALL. AGAIN THIS FALL

Professor Joseph Becker WIN Orgasizs Z
Cooking School Here on His Return
Trip.
The high success Of the cooking exhi-
bition given by the Majestic Range Co.
at the Cash Hardware store has led to the
organization of a cooking school for this
fall. Prof. Joseph Becker, the chef in
charge, has promised the ladies Of Lewis
ton to give them call on his return trip
in September and give them series OF
lessons in the fine art of cooking. And
why notl The poet who wrote that "Ciys'
ilized man can not live without cooks"
was ahead of his age. But civilization is
advancing and cooking is taking its place
as fine art. 1t is the most sensible fad
Of the age. Prof. Becker has demon
strated that the successful operator pre-
siding at a Majestic Range is. an artist
equal to the performer at the key boa,d
Of grand piano. He has dignified the
art of cooking and his cooking school
this fall will be the most enthusiastic edu-
cational institution in the city.

There is one matter that our. city
dads might take up to the advantage
of the city. 1t has been the practice
for years to drive large punches of
cattle through the streets of our town.
In m ost cases they get through with
Eout doing any damage, but it fre
quently happens that they run over
the sidewalks, breaking the boards,
and into yards, destroying the work
of those who, by their work, are try
ing to improve their places, ard thus
add to the beauty of our little city.
This matter was called to our mind
this week by seeing two men trying to
drive about fifty head of long-horn
cattle through Eighth street Monday.
1t i impo ;sible o. two men to
hanule a bunch of cattle for the simple
reason that they cannot drive and at
the same time control the sides. Cat
tie ought not to be allowed driven
though the streets in large punches.
or at least those driving them should
be compelled to have enough help
along to keep them out of people
door yards.

A novel contest was waged at Beat
tie this. week. The city government
was in the hartls of the women. They
had closed all Of the gambling dens,
ioints, ETC., aud among other ordi-
nances enacted curfew WHICH not only
applied to the boys, but the men, and
one against splitting on the sidewalks.
Ii the contest this week the ticket
composed Of women was opposed by
one made zip OF men, and the men won
everything but one councilman, clerk
and marshal. The women had put a
man on for the latter place. The men
expect now to be able to spit ON the
sidewalk and stay out as late nights
rs they please without accounting to
anyone but their own wives.

Sub.lrrigation.

One year ago purchased from Alex
Richter, of Hollywood, Kans., guam
tity of subirrig ating pipe which laid
according to directi ons in my lawr,
garden and strawberry patch. The re-
suits more than justified my expecta-
tions. On prairie grass sod l SOW
ed blue grass and clover, which by the
aid of sub-irrigation soon run the
prairie grass out and made one of the
prettiest lawns [ ever saw. Trees and
shrubbery planted where they receiv-
ed the bene4its of the water made three
ksimes the egrowth they did where no
water could-peach them. Every shrub
1and evergreen planted near the pipes
grew, and flowers of all kinds beat
anything 1 ever saw especially mon
thly roses, carnations and dahlias,
which was laughed at for planting.
When the hot winds came and destroy
ed vegetation my grounds were green
and fresh-a veritable oasis in the
desert. Strawberries and garden
truck grew splendidly and yielded in
abundance. I consider it one of the
creates inventions of the age. Does
not take a third of the water it does
to irrigate on the surface: does not
bake or pack the ground or kill the
foliage, and in labor alone it will save
its cost the first year, as all you have
to do is to set the wind mill going,
and the pipes carry it just where it is
needed and drip it out. This pipe, in
my judgment, will take away the ter
rors Of dry weather from lovers of
flowers and fruit, and change homes
barren of flowers, fine gardens and
small fruits into homes of plenty, lux
ury in living and happiness.

What Would Jesus. Dol

"For determined not to know any
thing among you, save Jesus Christ,
and him crucified. And my speech
and my preaching wis not with entic-
ink words of mans wisdom, but in
denOnstration OF the Spirit and of
power, that your faith should not
stand in the wisdom of men, but in
the power of God" ~
These words of Paul, found in the
First Epistle to the Corinthians, give
the keyhote to the great apostle )
ideas concerning the sphere of the
Christian minister.
Whatever pertains to the spiritual
welfare Of the people should be- of vi
tai interest to those who preach
Christ's gospel, and should receive
their vigorous and ldev oted atte otion,
but no minister should take advan-
tage OF his clerical position to pro-
mulgate ideas which are foreign to
the religion which he is supported to
preach.
No sensible person expects a preach
er to be q nonentity in worldly mat
ters. AS man, as q citizen, he has
q right to opinions concerning SOcie-
ty and politics. He has a right to
express those opinions through the
ordinary Cuduues1S. ne ndS EiS III
to ally himself with organizations
which maintain those opinions and to
labor for their advancement, but he
has no right to mount the pulpit be-
fore a congregation gathered for re-
ligiOus worship, and Interpret current
events in the light OF his social or po-
,liti"al belief. -
