Recently with fitting pageantry the
nation began the celebration at st.
Louis Of the centennial anniversary Of
the signing of the treaty by which on
the 3Oth Of April, 1903, Napoleon, then
first consul, ceded to the United States
the territory of Louisiana. The day
was also made memorable by the dedi-
cation Of the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition, which formally will be opened
May /, 1904. Unlike the Columbian
Exposition, which was dedicated six
months before it's opening, the st. Louis
exposition was dedicated year in adj
vance-the postponement Of the open
ing for year having wisely been decid-
ed upon that it may be in greater readi-
ness when the eXposition's gates open.
Unless ST. Louis should secure the two
Presidential conventions, 1t would be
we'll even now to postpone the opening
until 1905, for political excitement may
initiate against large attendance. The
event commemorated justifies all that
st. Louis and the country can do. BY
the terms Of the treaty made with Ma
poleon, France coded to the United
States the greater part Of the region
west of the Mississippi River now in
Guided within the national boundaries,
exclusive of Alaska, for the considera-
ton of 81, 100000, and the assumption
of claims Of United States citizens
against France amounting to $3,75O,OOO
% tn 6oU
but much less than will be spent upon
the ST. Louis exposition. The occasion
to be celebrated was also one Of the
most important in American history. 1t
was our first great nationl expansion.
What have been the material results?
The territory then ceded now consti-
tutes fourteen States of the Union,
comprises one-third of the national
area, and is inhabited by one-ffth Of
it's population A hundred years ago
it had about $4,000 people, now it has
about 100000, pr three times as
many as the whole Union contained
when the annexation was made. st.
Louis itself has three times as many
citizens as all the American cities had
at that time The Philadelphia Ledger,
apropos Of the occasion, makes these
interesting comparisons: 1.-THE wool
product alone Of the States made out
Of Louisiana would pay that price.
Last years corn crop Of Iowa alone
would have paid that price six times.
The wheat yield Of the territory, more
than half that Of the whole country,
for any single average year would buy
the territory hundred times. single
State carved out of the purchase has
added over $1,O0O,0OO to the worlds
wealth at the cost of digging it out Of
the ground" These are impressive
figures.

When Mother Died.

When Mother Died.
They told me in the night that she was
dead,
And then l knew from out my life had
ded
All beauty; that thenceforth my pathway
In lonely lands; that l should miss the
OF woodland roses and the mornings
glow.
For she was my best friend! The words
she said
In prayer each night beside my trundle
bed

With such a touch that l no more can
know!
She sought the smoothest ways for me
to go,
And her sweet faith brought all the
mountains low!
The seeds of kindness that she planted
Are blooming now unframed by frost or
snow,
By crystal dews from heaven nightly
fed!
And when l dwell upon the long ago
Her smile to me is bright as was the
bow
To those upon the food; | miss it so
Now when the winds unbridled wildly
blow
And rain descended on my defenseless

Il was very bad for long time with
Kidney Trouble and could get nothing
to help me till l tried Dodd's Kidney

The London Lancet OPPORTUNITY sug
gests that, since bacteriology has be-
come q recognized branch Of medical
science, too much attention has been
directed to the germs, and not suffi-
cient to the soil in which they grow"
Alarmist articles seldom suggest the
comforting truth at which the Lancet
hints: that although countless bacteria
assail us, they cannot flourish in a
healthy body.

American women. The wise mothee OF
a family Of sons and daughters is the
object OF their devoted love. She is
quick to serve them with hands and
feet and head; and they in their turn
spring to do her wish. There is no
subject that concerns the life of the
home or Of the community on which
her opinion is not sought. The hours
Of her day are filled with happy work,
every piece of it gaining dignity and
Importance from her touch. Whether
it is the planning and serving OF the
meals, the adjustment of education to
the individual needs of her children,
the furnishing Of relaxation for the
tired husband, the administering of ju-
dicious help to the needy, or the con-
sidering of large public question, like
that Of the liquor traffic, this modern
American woman justifes her position.
The oriental man confdes in woman
only when she is wrapped in wells and
imprisoned behind iron bars. The
American man gives his life, his for
tune, his children and his honor into
the keeping Of his wife, and she re-
wards his trust. She must not and she
will not presume upon her leisure or
her liberty; but she will regard as sa-
cred privileges won for her by those
sacrifices which are the inevitable con-
ditions Of progress. She knows that
privilege imposes responsibility.

Why it Was a Blanket Filing

While on his way to the Joseph
country NJ. l.. Goldsmith passed
through Cottonwood and in answer
to few questions the Cottonwood
Chronicle has the following to say
of the state filings: "While here
Mr.. Goldsmith explained to us the
reason for the blanket filings made
by the state land selectors on the
lands in that country. He said
that when the filings were made
the men had but six days in which
to make the selections and get back
to Lewiston to place them on file
in the land Office and consequently
it was impossible to make anything
but a blanket filing. In all cases
where the settlers knew the num-
bers of the land wanted the tracts
were not included in the filings
but in many cases the numbers
were not known so the settlers were
instructed to find out the land
wanted and then apply to the land
board for its REIMBURSEMENT 1t
was not the intention of the land
board to take the land away from
bona-fide settlers although many
reports to that effect were circulated
at the time"

JOHN CONDON
AND MGR, BROWN
Speak Enthusiastically Of Different
Hump Mines.
MOTHER LODE is A PRETTY CLAIM
Fred II. Wood Returnd From
Investigation Trip.

There has not been visitor to
the Hump country this summer
but what comes back with words
OF praise for the country. Sunday
Manager Frank Brown of the
Jumbo, came in from the Hump
accompanied By John Condor of
Spokane, who is interested in the
Mother Lode and also stock hold
er in the Jumbo.
81 was surprised" said Mr..
Condor to a FREE PRESS reporter
'.that there is not 20 claims devel-
oped in the Hump to where there
is one at present. he said that he
was not an experienced miner but
has been interested in mines one
way or another long enough to
know that after seeing the Hump
mines / can truthfully say it is 60
ing to be ii great camp" Mr..
Brown unfolded blue print of the
Mother Lode and Louise claims.
They join each other or the apex
OF hill and at the other end, on
each side of the hill, are two lakes,
Bear lake and Ruby lake. The
apex of the hill is just 1000 feet
above the level of the lakes. Mr..
Brown says these claims have the
most beautiful location of any
claims he ever saw and that the
groupings can be readily and easily
traced from one lake over the hill
to the other lake. These claims
are owned by II Spokane company
of which Louis Smith is
manager. A contract has been
let for 500 feet of tunnel, and the
claims will be thoroughly developed
before a mill is placed on the prop
erty.
The new mill on the jumbo is
completed andthe machinery will
be put in operation next week.
Mr.. Condor is interested in the
big Waha lake irrigation scheme
and electric railway from Lewiston
to Waha and says that reason alone
keeps him from spending most of
his time in the Hump. But he is
going to use all his power to influ-
ence capital to the Hump and will
invest more or less himself.

SO Bushels TO the Acre,

M. H. Baulch, one of the best
farmers in Idaho county, and who
farms on scientific plans, brought
in some samples of Red Chaff
wheat to the FREE PRESS office
Monday. To see this wheat would
make an eastern, or even a Palouse
farmer long to own piece of
Camas Prairie land. Mr.. Baulch
has about 40 acres of this wheat
that will yield 80 bushels to the
acre and other grain that will not
fall far behind this average and
there are many other farms on the
prairie which will have yields
nearly as large as this. Mr.. Baulch
has been on the prairie for Is years,
has raised a crop every year and
has not had failure yet, but this
years crop, he says, is some better
than any previous one. He has a
plan by which he realizes about rs
cents per bnshel for his wheat.
He does not market any of his
wheat, but feeds it all to hogs and
by doing SO realizes about the same
as he would if he received Is cents
a bushel for his wheat. He says
his fall wheat is never damaged by
the winters as is sometimes the
case in the Palouse country. The
crops in the Walla Walla and Pa
lohse countries this year;is conced-
ed to be only about two-thirds of
what IS considered fair crop, but
Camas Prairie has a better crop
than the average.
