WORKING FOR SUFFRAGE.
Women Everywhere Taking Interest in the
Question and Are Watching Results
Where Equal SuiTraEe Exists.


Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, one of the most
powerful republican speakers, made a
thorough canvass of Idaho during her
recent campaign and has returned to
her home in Washington, D. C., full Of
enthusiasm over the practical results Of
woman suffrage. In a letter to friend
she says:
1.-THE work of the women passed allmy
expectations. The glow Of surprise, the
excitement Of the novelty have some
what passed. The women who wanted
the ballot have settled down to make
the best Of it and those who dreaded it
have recovered from their fear and &C
cepted the trust with good grace. The
women had their own committees for
registration, as well as election day, and
they were thorough, patient and intelli-
gent. Not only have they done much
good but they have received good They
are better women, better wives and
mothers, better neighbOrs and friends
One Of them said to me: I did not want
to vote, but when 1 found myself with
the ballotI did not dare shirk the re-
spOusibility. know that have helped
great many women to understand
their duty and know I AN a stronger
woman for it. used to think only OF
myself, my husband, my children, my
servants, my house, my club-nOW every
individual possesses an interest for me
am far less selfish than I was Oh
why cannot men see the justice of it, the
tFuthfulness Of it9 This last campaign
opened up to me the whole question
more fully than ever before. The Eomer
Of Idaho are calm, well poised anC
strong. The whole social atmosphere il
clear and braeing. I feel like droppinl
everything else and giving my Eholl
time to getting the suffrage for othe
women

Of this paper the Dawson block, which
was entirely wiped out by fire January
Z, will be rebuilt.
A business mems meeting was held at
the Ennis drug store Saturday night to
consider some plan Of rebuilding, if pos
sible, the burned block.
A large representation of business
men were present. c. E. Swarts, proprie-
tor Of the Star Meat market, and Kunz

able to put building on his corner lot.
Q. NJ. Millisack agreed to put up anoth-

INTEMPERATE YOUNG MAN.
Beware Of Strong Drink Else some Day
the Habit VIII Mock at Your
Attempt TO Reform

Girls beware Of the young man who
uses iutoxicants, no matter how amOd-
erately." Human nature is very much
the same everywhere In America We
have been used to warn men against
the use Of Intoxicating liquor because
Of the impetuosity OF American char
acter. 1t is said that the American
goes wild over whatever be under
takes: becomes too enthusiastic. and
he drinks liquors as enthusiastically
as be does anything else. The certain
y Of his losing control Of his appetite,
If he drinks az all, is almost absolute.
Facts do not seem to sustain the
opinion, once prevalent, that the
drinking people Of other nations are
safe from the results which follow in
diligence here. The French so often
cited as a sober people although in
dulging in the lighter wines are be
coming much addicted to intemper-
ance and are substituting stronger
wines for the lighter ones. Appetite
is about the same everywhere. The
Chinaman becomes a slave 20 opium
as will anyone Of whatever nationality
who uses it. With indulgence the ap-
petite for intOxicants grows; and while
it may take the Frenehman a little
longer to become a drunkard than it
does the highstrung, nervous AmeTi-
can he reaches the level At last. The
German may stick to his beer for q
longer time but he, too, VIII reach the
end in time The only safe rule is 70
let it alone. If men viii not drink
there viii be no drunkards, but If they
do, beginning ever 50 lightly, they viii
find it grows harder aud harder to sub
due the craving until appetite viii rule

the neighbors could not believe he
meant to rent it. And then he was
too happy. He tried to take the

At LAST panama Wins
The Treaty With Colombia Signed
at Last.
PRECISE TERMS NOT MADE PUBLIC.
Colombia Yielded SOyereignty---Price
the Last Issue.
TERMS NOT MADE PUBLIC.

The treaty between the United
States and Colombia for the construc-
tion of the Panama canal by the
United States was signed yesterday in
Washington City.
Fears had been entertained until
this week that Colombia would not be
willing to accede TO the wishes of the
United States in the matter and that
recourse to the Nicaraguan canal
project might be forced on the gov
eminent of the United States. But
this week events took a more fayora-
Bile turn, and Colombia transmitted
instructions and authority to DR..
Herlan, its representative in the
United States, that made possible a
conclusion Of the long negotiations
The principal obstacle for some
time to the conclusion of the treaty,
it is understood, has been the pdce
that the United States has to pay in
the shape of cash payment and by
way Of annual rental for the strip of
terri tory along each side of the canal
right of way 1t could not be learned
what was the price finally agreed on.
Some time ago there was a hitch
over the question of the extent to
which control by the United States
over this strip of land should 60,
Colombia objecting on the ground
that the provisions requested in the
treaty by the United States would
mean a REIMBURSEMENT of sovereignty
by Colombia over part Of her territory,
but this matter was amicably adjusted,
as was a difference as to the lifetime
of the lease of the strip of land in
question, the final result being a
practical cession in perpetuty of the
strip to the United States for canal
purposes and incidental police centrol
and pro ection Of the canal right of
way
