"Crooked' Bob Jordan's saloon on
lmnaha was blown up with giant
powder last Wednesday night by un1
known parties. There was consider
able opposition on the part Of. the
people of Imnaha to the presence of
a saloon because it interfered with the
success pf pubic gatherings. The
owner OF the public hall had given
out that me would not permit danoes
to be held in the hall as long as there
was saloon on Imnaha, so of course
the lovers of dancing were allied very
closely with the avowed anti saloon
people. The result is as stated above.
Bob and his partner were in one end
OF the saloon when the other end
went skyward, but were not seriously
injured.

prevent the flights of absconders; to
arbitrate in disputes between Ameri-
cans and members of the company.
In the latter case, if the matter can
not be settled by arbitration and is
carried to the courts, the company
pays the fees of lawyer for defend
ing the case.
Membership in the company is pure
ly matter of choice, but as the fees
are small in comparison with the
benefits to be derived, there are very
few of the San Francisco Cinnamon
who do not belong to one of the COM
panies.
To the newly arrived, it is a great
advantage 10 have a place to go for
any information he may need; to find
friends ready TO help him-friends
VINO recognize the claims of relation
ship, though to the western mind the
claims would probably have ceased
to exist for a generation or two-and
to have some one to teach him the
ways of the strange and barbarous
American
AS a rule, the Chinese are excep-
tionally honest in all business trans
actions They have very few of the
many papers without which western
dealings cannot be carried on. Often
in transactions involving large sums
of money, the Chinese have only an
oral agreement and very seldom is it
broken. And woe to the debtor who
tries to slip off without paying. He
is reported at once to all the COM
panies. Every way of escape is
watched, and as soon as found, he is
brought back for trial. More than
one Chinaman has been taken off a
boat bound for China and dragged
back to settle with. his creditors.
Beside the Big Six companies there
is a congress composed of officers and
important men of these six companies
This congress has permanent officers
and a committee, and to this body all
matters of general interest are referred
Disputes between members of differ
ent companies are arbitrated; they
consult as to means of relief from
laws which they consider unjust, or
burdensome; they assist in preventing
the importation of Chinese women
for immoral purposes; and they ar
range for the entertainment of public
men and important visitors. Years
ago, the first Chinese diplomatic body
was received in this country by a
delegation from the San Francisco
companies. The congress served as
a most valuable medium in establish
ing relations between their country
men and the Americans. And at the
present time, communications to the
Chinese of San Francisco are made
through the Big Six companies.

south. These vines will cling to the
bricks. but on frame outbuildings
supports must be provided for nearly
all vines.
s.There are two very excellent JAP
anese species-actindia and akepla-
TO be recommended for the latter; al
so the native five-fngered ivy and the
bitter sweet, common in the nortn.
All of these serve well for covering
fences as well as outbuildings- Rad
hit netting wire affords them the best
support.
For covering banks where grass
will not grow Japanese evergreen
boneysuckle should be used.
Trees may be properly arranged in
side yards and on either side OF paths,
but never in rows, except along
straight path or the street walk. For
the latter purpose nothing is better in
the city than Norway naples and
elms. also sugar and soft naples and
some of the oaks Catalpas are to be
especially recommended for the west.
American linden or bass wood for the
east and northwest; for the latter also
the burr oak and green ash.
"As specimen trees for lawns the
American plane tree-also called the
buttonwood and sycamore-is excel
lent for the east central and western
country: for the climate of Washing
ton and farther south the oriental
plane tree. Other beautiful lawn
trees which l recommend are the inn
proved cut-leaf and purple-leaf beech,
cut-leaf birch and .Weir's cut-leaf
maple.
1.-THE Japanese bladder-pod tree is
very handsome, gives fine foliage and
bears flowers in large clusters. From
Washington southwark it is excellent
for lawn planting. For the same
climate there is the yellow-wood tree,
as clean as the beech and with very
ornamental flowers. The pin oak is
also excellent for lawns in the north.
''Trees planted along the street
should conform to it's lines. In lawns
and side yards tree planting should
always be irregular and promiscuous,
| even along curved drives, but leaving
in the middle of the lawn always an
open space" = -

A Baby Peerless.

One of the most interesting figures
at the coronation will be the baby
Baroness Clifton of Leighton Broms-
void, the daughter of the late Lord
Darnley, who died about two years
ago. The first peer, who married
the heiress of Baroness Clifton, was
raised to the peerage by that title in
1908, and though he aiterward became
Earl of Darnley he held his seat in the
House of Lords as Baron Clifton.
This title having come through a wo-
man, descends in the female line, and
therefore, on the death of the late
Lord Darnley, his little daughter be-
came Baroness Clifton in her own
right, while the earldom went to his
brother, the Hon. Two Bligh, says
Home Notes. The little Baroness,
who is 21a years old, will wear the
regulation coronation robes, which
are already ordered for her at we'll
known West End house. The Baro.
ness mother, Jemima, Countess OF
Darnley, has forfeited her right to be
present at the coronation by her re
cent marriage with commoner, Cap.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIBERIA.
interests of the United States and
Enuland in the African Republic.

Interests OF the United states anu
England in the African Republic.
We have been informed recently
that Liberia is a richly mineralized
country. That may or may not be
the case; we do not pretend to know.
But this we do know-that if it is, SO
much the worse for the Liberians.
When next body of American and
English philanthropists embark up
on the experiment of setting section
of American negroes on their feet as
a selfsuppoTting community, we ad-
wise them to set the prospector to
work before they make selection of a
place of settlement. If these pros
pectors prove to their satisfaction the
country is innocent of minerals, or if
minerals being there, they take all Of
them away, then that particular
country, other things being equal,
may be regarded as suitable for their
purpose. In other words, however
clever a community of educated
negroes may be, they cannot hope to
hold their own against Europeans. If
the European is bent on getting any
thing the negro has we would be pre-
pared to put long odds on the Europ-
can getting II. :.
OF course, II Liberia is to be ex-
plotted by Europeans it is better that
the particular brand of European
should be English rather than Ger
man or French. Not that it is likely
Germany or France would care to do,
anything which would tend in the di-
rection of substituting German or
French government for that of the.
Liberian republic. America and Eng
land have sentimental interests in
Liberia, and in America especially
this philanthropic creation is viewed
with especial tenderness. Any high
handed proceedings on the part of a
European power would doubtless tend
! to bring about that closer union be-
tween the two great branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race which it is the OBJ
ject of Europe to prevent at all costs,
Inc Liberians trust Englishmen i'm
piiclty; there is the more reason,
therefore, to hope that they will NOT
nave cause in the future to abandon
their faith. They have it in their
power, presuming their country is
actually rich in coal, as we are given
TO believe it is, to do us a good turn
IN providing our navy with a coal,ne
station, of which Great Britain has NOT
100 many on that coast. In other

A rich and eccentric man who died
the other day in Berlin left a will
which was to be opened Immediately
and codicil to be opened after the
funeral. The will said, Every mem
Der of my family who shall abstain
from attending my funeral is to re-
ceive 300 marks" AS a result the
funeral was attended by his house
keeper, a distant cousin. On the
codicil being opened it was found to
enact that the residue of his fortune
was to be divided among those who,
twithstanding the loss of the 300
marks, attended his funeral Hence
the housekeeper gets all; but the
heirs threaten to dispute the will.

The first practical trial of a new
system of the single-rail railroad is to
be made at the Crystal Palace, Lon
don. The line, which is to be one and
a half miles in length, will be worked
by electricity. The difference between
this system and the prevalent type of
monorail is that the line is on the
ground and large wheels projecting
from the middle of the carriage run
on it, while on each side of the car
riage there are safety rollers upon
guide rails. In the monorail the line
is elevated, with the carriages over
hanging on each side.
