There is objection in some quarters
to the recognition of Panama by the
president, following 40 quickly after
the establishment of the alleged
republic. The DIRECTORS seem to
forget that this country Ia doing
things quickly and acquiring territory
wherever and whenever fancy leads
the powers that be, to believe it
necessary. Did We not take the
Hawaiian islands; are we not In
possession. Of Porto Rico; and. If
you please, did we not sieze the
Philippine islands for the purpose Of
injecting our benevolent assimiIa-
ton" into the natives and teaching
them the white mans civilization
Then why not recognize Panama and
''assimilate" lite people and territory
The Columbian government Is too
weak to resist our acts and we can have
sort Of christianiZing influence over
the 'assimilated' people. We need
Panama In our business and who will
dare to interfere when President
Roosevelt says so. II Is our-belief
that Panama will soon become a
colony of the United States. The
word colony" became very detest-
able to the people Of this country al
one time, but now 1t does not even
canse serious commandments We
are the owner and not the colony.

rnE People MUST PROTEST.

The announcement is made from
the general land office that six town
ships of land in this district are to
be withdrawn from entry for the
purpose of creating what is to be
known as the Occur d'Alene forest
reserve. This may not seem of great
Importance to the casual observer,
but it means a great deal to the
people of this town and the whole of
she county. 1t means that los, 900
acres of the best timber land in the
state will be tied up in forest
reserve and placed where it can be Of
no commercial value to the people.
Il embraces the territory drained by
the North Fork OF the Occur d'Alene
river and includes much land that Is
already occupied by squatters, Being
unsurveyed, these people may be com
PEELED to abandon their claims with
out compensation, while the Northern
Pacific will receive lieu land script
for its holdings in the reserve. The
injustice Of this is apparent to all,
vet it is decreed by the powers at
Washington that such discrimination
in favor of the corporation is one OF
the blessings of government that
must be endured by the people. We
already have the Priest River forest
reserve in this county and to create
another is an outrage against the
people 1t removes thousands OF
arces of land beyond the possibility
Of taxation and makes it bowling
wilderness for an indefinite period
Every citizen of the county is deeply
interested in this matter and prompt
action should be taken to file I
vigorous protest with our members o
congress against the further tying NJ
Of Kootenai county land in a fOres
reserve that can be of no beuefi
to the country, but Is. on tn
other hand, an absolute injury. Tn
people Of Occur d'Alsne should tax
the initiative in this matter an'
petitions should be forwarded t.
every postoffice in the county TO
signatures protesting against th
proposed reserve. Let such a Protes
go up to Washington as will sho'
that our people are unanimousl
opposed to being robbed of tn
heritage given them by nature
Prompt action is necessary.

TaArISJUNcTION.

The Press will not comment on the
complaint sworn to by James
Monaghan, asking for an injunction
to restrain the town and the Con
sumers Company from digging bitches
and laying mains under its franchise.
further than to take the complaint,
section by section, and briefly analyze
it for the misrepresentation it con-
tains. The complaint is printed in
another column.
Beginning with the FIRST allegation,
down to and including the fourth,
the complaint is substantially true /;
but from that point to tbs end it
contains many false statements and
gross Misrepresentation The com
pany has not complied with the terms
of the ordinance as stated in the fifth
allegation, from the fact that it has
not furnished water for fire purposes
as required, which almost every
citizen knows to be true
The sixth allegation ia untrue from
the fact that the company has refused
a number Of times to furnish the
town water for street sprinkling un-
less paid for the service and has not
at all times furnished water with
sufficient pressure for the extinguish-
ment Of fires; but on the contrary its
manager 8 God In the street and
watched a neighbOr's home burn to
the ground while he made the state
ment that he could have saved the
property IL the town had been paying
the company for water. During that
fire, at times there was not force
enough to throw water over a one
story building. Judging from the
managers statement, the building
was permitted to burn from pure self.
ishness. These conditions are
sufficient evidence that the company
did not keep twenty pounds Of steam
pressure constantly on lite boilers as
IL alleges. And IL furt her evidence
is needed, many persons have heard
the statement Of the compaDy's
representative that there would be no
steam pressure on the boilers after
midnight unless they we're paid for it,
In the seventh allegation the
plaintiff admits that IL wants to
change its intake pipe for the purpose
Of giving the people more pure water.
1t has been but a few weeks since It
claimed the water IL is furnishing the
people was pure and free from con
taminstion. Now il admits a truth
that the Press has bssn telling the
people for the past two years. We
are glad IL has come to our way Of
thinking for once and discovered q
truth. But why did 1t not do some
thing besides ignore the people

The Press has the largest circula
ton Of any paper In KoOtenai county
and advertising Ia Its columns has a
fixed value. Others may have all
kinds of rates and different prices
for different persons, but patrons Of
the Press are all treated alike. You
buy space and we know that you get
value in return. Our subscription
books are open to the inspection Of
any merchant who advertises In the
Press, because We can convince him
that we have the circulation.

before opposition and ruin, which it
admits, became so formidableY 1t
could have done so If Ii had have
subdued that bull dog spirit which
has characterized its every action
toward the public in the past. The
town very justly refused to pay $50 a
month for a service that experience
demonstrated IL was not getting.
The ninth allegation is true, but
the courts have decided, very wisely,
that no. exclusive franchise shall be
granted. That protects the people
agair st unjust and grasping companies
that may enjoy franchises from them.
In regard To the tenth allegation,
the higher courts have but recently
decided that water companies must
furnish water for street sprinkling
free of charge and the town has
always disputed the right of the com
pany to make a charge for the same.
The eleventh allegation charges
conspiracy by the town and Con
sumers Company to injure the plain
tiff. No one has injured the PLAINTIFF
more than its own representatives.
The people know this and they also
know that its claims for pay are
unjust and were never earned.
Had the plaintiff complied with
its part of the contract toward the
town and its inhabitants it would
not now be compelled to face opposi-
tion. 1t might have continued in
definitely to charge eNorbitant rates
and discriminate with its red hair
light service. Ii the plaintitfi has
received no return in profits Why Is
it that it claimed valne and
damages of $50, 900 in the complaint
asking for former injunction, on
practically the same grounds, as
those of the present complaint, which
was dissolved by Judge Morgan
That is a good price to put on bust
ness that has never paid dividend.

An Intelligent Dog.

A gentleman once had very hand

session. One day he lost the dog whc:!

ture in vain searched everywhere for
his master and at last, seeing hanson
cab creeping leisurely along, jumped
into it and settled himself determined
ly on the seat. The driver tried to en-
tlce it out, but without success, and 6

wants." they all agreed amid shouts of
laughter. Then one examined his col
lar and found an address clearly en-
graved upon it. Without further ado
cabby jumped up and drove up to this
same address, which proved to be the
correct one. Needless to say, the cab
man was substantially rewarded. The

How the Native Selects a Bride-The
Marriage Ceremony.
The Eskimo gentleman never selects
a wife In his own village. As soon as
he is able to make living for family
he goes into Il neighboring village and
falls in Il fit of love before some likely
girl. She is then penned up for some
time in a housed sort of dugout or
burrow in the ground-and when the
bride day comes he goes there ana
crawlS in. 1t is in the play that the
bride to be shall so strenuously object
that she fights him off. He then goes
out and gets his dogs and sled, and
when they are harnessed up he goes
In again, oyercOmeS her, ties her hands
and feet. places her Oh the sled and
hauls her to his own village. That
COMPLETES the ceremony Of marriage.
The whole village gives them we'd
ding feast. Mt day, or later on. if
they don't forget it, they go before o
minister of the gospel and are married
In due form. This feature of the union,
however, is not important and does
not bother them very much.
The dressing of the brides hair is
a revelation. 1t is done UP in g series
of knots about foot high on fop of
her head and pulled so tightly from the
scalp that very often big patches OF ii
are fairly pulle, out by the roofs. lc2v'

MURDER, WIFE THINKS,
BeIieUeS Labor Union Enemies
Killed Husband, Not DrOWHng.

That the death of her husband was caused
by his enemies in a rival labor organization is
the firm belief of Mrs John Denny of No 16S
Beard-st.. Brooklyn although an autopsy per-
formed yesterday shows that death was caused
by drowning and that the bruises on the side
OF the head and the alleged cut were only
trifling. John Denny foreman with the
Boston Dry Dock Company. and his body was
found on Sunday in the mud near the Long
Dock, Erie Basin.
DIR. Charles A Phillips, who acted for DR..
Hartung. coroner's physician. made the au-
topsy The cut, which it had been declared was
made with a knife, he says was more than
scratch.
The police have found a man who says he
saw Denny sleeping the Long Pier Satur-
day night and the inference is that he fell
overheard while asleep.
Mrs. Denny thinks that some of his enemies
may have thrown her husband off the pier while
he slept When urged to be more specific about
the enemies she explained that Denny was
walking delegate of the knights of Labor, who
are at odds with the international 1ronWorkerS.
He had persstenty refused to be party to
bringing his men into the latter organization,
and had spoken harShly of Sam Parks in ar
guing against it, He had told his wife that he
had been threatened and followed several
occasions.

most certain she heard pistol shot. She mag
1ned that ii was only a Saturday night brawl.
