scene is bound to give the impression
that the monastic life must be conducive

looks as if on creation day some Titan

After driving about a mile, we saw be-

battlements. II looked as If 1t might

gave the committee positive assurance
that railway line would be built from
Niparia to Lewiston by either the North

Northern Pacific president intimated that
the trackage would be used by the two
companies Jointly. He stated that the
intention of the Northern Pacific was to
extend the Clearwater short line from
Sites to GrangeviNe, and the Lapwai
branch from Cul de Sac to Nez Perces
Prairie points, probably within the next
year or two. His attention was called

People living some sort of a. nlonastic life
have always been common in Oriental
countrieS-and were not unknown among
the Jews before the coming of Christ.
Among Christians the monastic life found
numerous adherents from the very first
years of the church. Such men lived
mostly as hermits, sometimes also in
small communities, but generally with
out any rules or organization. Then, too,
in accordance with the well known ORR
entail disposition tneir life was mainly
enc of contemplation. In this respect, st.
Benedict worked a complete change. He
collected a body of monks around him
and formed a strong organization under
a set of rules, divided into seventy-three
chapters. The forces that had been scat
tered and devoted mainly to contempla-
ton, he organized for united and ener-
getic activity in behalf of Christianity
and civilization.
The work of st. Benedict was indeed
Notwithstanding and civiliza-
ton were both in danger of being wiped
out of existence. Some special force was
needed to preserve them both and st.
Benedict organized this force.
Attila, the Scourge of God, as he styled
himself had swept with his heroes down
from the plains of Western Asia and
burst like deluge into the Roman en-
pire. Attila and his Huns had indeed
disappeared in a sea of blood and ruin,
but the old Roman empire was crumblins
to pieces. Warlike Germanic tribes,
Goths, Vandals, Franks and Burgundians
were invading it from all sides These
people had many good qualities, bound
less energy, an indomitable courage, but
they were still nalf savage. Their chief
delight was war and its spoils Cities
were sacked and burned. Provinces were
depopulated. Civilization disappeared;
barbarism took its place 1t was clear
that unless those forces could be won
for the support of Christianity and civili-
cation, they would destroy and extermi-
nate both.

A proposition has been submitted 10
the Western roads to hetp the reduced
rates which were in effect July IN 70
and Aug. to 10 operative continuously
to Sept. Is to all summer resort points in
Northern Michigan and Wisconsin. 1t
Is expected that the proposition viii be
voted down, but If so, independent action
will be taken and the rates will be kept
in effect.
Considerable complaint Is being induIs-
ed in that a good deal Of legalized rate
cutting is going on in these days in con-
nection with the conduct Of the passenger
business of the Western roads 1t is be-
ing done in connection with excursion and
other special business.
Roads are contracting such special
business at reduced rates, and after they
have secured it submit a proposition for
the rate made to be put In effect In con-
nection with such business. When the
proposition is voted down independent
action is announced, and the business Is
carried at the rate originally named in
the contract. A good deal of labor busi-
ness is being manipulated in this way. A
proposition has been voted down for a
rate Of SIS from Chicago to Ogden for
labor party of fifty or more persons. The
road asking the rate will at once declare
independent action, send out the laborers
and reap the harvest.
1t is easy in this way for roads TO make
almost any kind of rates to large parties
ard it will likely mean some trouble In
the Western Passenger association be-
fore long.
Twin City railroad officials are much
