Some OF our southern contemporaries
are advocating an organized movement

from South Africa to the southern
States A chief reason, among others
for regarding them as peculiarly suited

BoER IMMIGRATION.

Millions Of acres OF public lands still
remain in the United States. and other
millions Of acres can be obtained at low
figures Nearly all the States west Of
the Mississippi and some Of those east
OF the river have lands which can be
got so cheaply as TO be an attraction
for settlers from all over the world. In
the list Of immigrants landing on the
shores OF the United States are some
from almost every country in the
world though the two little republics
OF South Africa have thus far con-
tributed but slightly to the total A
change In this particular is likely TO
take place now. A large part OF the
next great trek Of the Beers from the
Orange Free State and the Transyaal
will undoubtedly be to the western
States Of the American republic.

POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.


There has been much talk lately Of
the decadence Of Protestant churches,
and many surmises have been offered
as 20 the causes OF the retrogresslon.
One is, without doubt, the poor spiritual
food offered by the pulplts.
only last Sunday, various clergymen
In this city asif by previous agreement.
plunged deep into national politics In
their sermons instead Of administering
10 their audiences the life.gIying word
Of God one dIscoursed upon the Philip.
pine situation and another upon the
Chinese rebellion, both pretending 20
base their dlsc0urses on Scripture texts
which had as much releyauce to n.
subjects treated on as the blue sky has
resemblance TO a piece Of brick.
II IS no particular concern OF ours
what spiritual food Is offered In the Sec
tartan pulpits, but when the question
Is raised as to what causes the decline In
the influence Of those pulpits. II should
not be- forgotten that Interference with
politics is one OF them. People are not
going TO church TO hear a rohash Of
their club talk. or Of newspaper dis
cussions. II they cannot hear the word
Of God there. they win naturally stay
away.
A church must have power either
from heaven, in which case 1t is the
true Church and an organization for
good IN the world or she must have her
inspiration from the opposite source,
and become a power for evil Any
thing between these two opposing forces
must become useless and finally
be lost in the battle. Min
listers cannot by elegant lectures on
worldly topics keep spiritual life in a
church. Ecclesiastical history tes1hes
amply to this truth.

There Is really little In America that
can be offered the Beers in the way
OF liberty that they can not find by
staying Just where they are. They
would find opportunity in this coun-
try. but that is In their own land II
they adapt themselves TO conditions
there, and they would gain nothing by
the change. In Africa the Boer can
keep his individuality. In America he
would speedily be swallowed up In the
constant amalgamation. Eventually

A Deserved Compliment.

The American Book company,
referring to the laborious and te-
dious matters connected with the
exchange of school books, as pro-
vided for by the last legislature, in
writing to Supt. Elsensohn, takes
the opportunity to say: 1--WE take
this occasion to thank you kindly
for the very prompt and satisfac-
tory manner in which all accounts
with the districts in your county
have been adjusted. We have not
had single instance of complaint
from Idaho county, and everything
has been very smooth and satisfac-
tory. The writer might also add
that your county is the only one
in the state that is paid up in full.
1t is a source Of some pleasure to
do business with man who ap-
preciates business methods"
This is high and we'll deserved
praise for Supt. Elsensohn, and
through him rejecting credit upon
Idaho county. We are glad to
know the school interests are in
the hands of a man SO deeply
interested in school matters. his
life's work, and who understands
the practical business part Of his
duties.

Death of Joseph Arlington.

His many friends in this section
will regret to learn of the death at
Walla Walla, on July 25, of JOS
eph Arlington, aged AZ years. 1t
will be remembered that he was
taken sick with stomach trouble
while in that section, and it was
feared that he would then die, but
he recovered SO that he was thought
out of danger, but a relapse set in
and death resulted quite unexpect-
edly. The remains will be ship
ped to his old home in Missouri.
Mr.. Arlington was prominent
stockraiser Of Salmon river, and
his death is the more melancholy
from the fact that be was engaged
to be married at an early date to
Miss Nellie Lyons, a lovely girl
who has been teaching school in
the Salmon river settlements for
number of years. Miss Lyon is
now in Tacoma where she went to
visit friends and prepare her we'd
ding trousseaux, and the shock ia
this estimable young lady will be a
severe one. Mr.. Arlington insured
his life last spring in her favor fol

The New Wagon Road,

Supt. Heppner visited the con-
strnction camp on the new wagon
road from Grangeville to the
Hump Sunday and Monday and
started out a load Of supplies upon
his return. twenty-five men are
now employed, and this force will
be maintained as long as there is
funds available for paying them.
1t is therefore Of the very highest
Importance that those intending to
contribute towards the construct
ion Of this important enterprise
should hand in their contributions
without any more delay, as the
season is short and work can be
accomplished to better advantage
now than later when the wet
weather sets in. Our country
friends are all once again reminded
that donations of baled hay and
grain will be thankfully accepted
and can be used to good advantage
in the construction of the road,
and as the road will be of vast
benefit to the farmers as well as
the business men Of Grangeville,
we trust the farming population
will be liberal in their donations
OF produce. Donations of this
character will be receipted for by
Mr.. Shwalbach at the roller mills
AS formerly announced. Remem-
Der that this road opens direct
communication with the Hump
camps, and if it is not completed,
all Camas Prairie farmers who
wish to dispose Of their produce
for cash in that great and growing
camp will otherwise have to haul
by way of Clearwater, Elk City
aud Badger, and therefore they
have a direct interest in assist ng
the business men Of Grangeville in
seeing that this important road is
completed this fall. Do not delay
but chip in at once.
