Flowers, Fruit and Fertility.

From the Boulder Age.
The Bitter Root valley is famous for
its beauty and fertility, and is entitled
to all the praise it gets-a broad valley

state. Grain shocked or stacked indi-

range of mountains, rugged in outline,
snow always in sight, the range broken
by deep gorges from which come

most attractive little cities in the state;

the increasing importance of agricul-
ture and horticulture will more than
compensate. It appears that this is a
favored locality for flowers. AS the

a committee of little girls handed them
great punches of blossoms.

STARS AND STRIPES HISTORY.

The American congress, in session
at Philadelphia, Pa, established by rs
resolution of June IA, 1777, a national
flag for the United States of America.
This resolution was as follows;
Resolved, That the flag OF the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; THAI
the union be thirteen stars, white in
n blue field, representing a new ron
stellation"
Although nearly year plevio IS,
July 4, 1916, the thirteen United States
had been declared independent, his
resolution is the first Legislative
action recorded relating to national
flag for the new sovereignty.
The use of the thirteen stripes was
not new feature, as this had been
introduced in alternate white ana
blue on ne upper left-hand corner q
a standard presented to the Phla
delphia light house by its captain L
the early part OF 1775, and, moreover

the union flag Of the thirteen united
colonies raised at Washington's head
quarters at Cambridge June, l776, ha ]
the thirteen stripes just as they are
this day; but it also had the crosses
of st. George and st. Andrew on The
blue ground in the corner.
There is no satisfactory evidence,
however, that any flag bearing tn
union of stars had been in public Use
before the resolution of June 1871. It
is not known to whom the credit of
designing the stars and stripes is due.
It is claimed that Mrs. John Ross,
an upholsteress, who resided on Arch
street, Philadelphia, Pa, was the
maker of the first flag combining the
stars and stripes. Her descendants
assert that a committee of congress,
accompanied by General Washington,
who was in Philadelphia in June, 1875
called upon Mrs. Ross and engaged
her to make the flag from a rough
drawing which, at her suggestion, was
redrawn by General Washington with
a pencil, in her back parlor, and the

There will be such a racket from one

jacob r. Killen, the husband, In
his cellin Dover Jail, has already
begun to feign insanity. He begged
for mercy from her relatives who
called on him to-day. A son OF Killen
believes that his father was angry
with bis mother because she went TO
Philadelphia last week and returned
home with some money. This money
her father states he gave her before
she left. II seemed toact as red

CUBA IN HARD LINES
Sugar Plantations Doing Al
most Nothing.
A SERIOUS FINANCIAL CONDITION.
President Palma Cutting Down Ex.
penses ON Every Hand People
Patient and UncomplaintnE.
Europe After Islands Trade.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Among the
arrivals on the Moro Castle from Ha-
yana was Charles NJ. Pepper, st. Louis
worlds fair commissioner to Cuba,
who has been in the island for the last
four months.
"The Industrial conditions" said Mr..
Pepper "are bad and are growing
worse. The big sugar plantations are
doing almost nothing toward next
years crop, and this throws a large
number of people out of work. have
been on many of the plantations and
have found them all alike. Commercial
circles in Havana are undergoing dis.
tressing crisis, though but little is said
of it publicly.
''The difficulties of the new govern
ment have been increased enormously
by the economic situation. President
Palma is cutting down expenses by the
wholesale, abolishing offices and re-
ducing salaries, and it may be that
they will be able to keep the ordinary
cost of administration within their in.
come, but that does not meet the real
trouble. which is the depression in the
sugar industry. The country people are
patient, and there is little disorder yet
one of the first measures found neces-
sary is to increase the rural guard with
the intention of putting General Maxi
mo Gomez at the head Of it. There is
intense pride among Cubans of all
classes in maintaining order, and they
will sustain President Palma in what
ever he does.
'The diplomatic relations of the new
republic" continued Mr. Pepper, have
been easily adjusted. Minister Squiers
has made Il very good impression, and
now there is no disposition among 9th
er nations to question the primacy Of
the United States. Guatemala also has
its minister accredited to Cuba, and
the minister from Great Britain is to
be presented in few days. l UNDER
stand that the Cuban government has
been notified of the intention of Spain,
France, Mexico and Germany to ac-
credit ministers within short time.
All the European countries are looking
after Cuban trade"
