Rev. r. H. Waggener, in his annual report,
submitted to a recent convention at st.
Louis, shows a gain Of 800 societies in that
body during the past year. making a total
Of 7.0l6 societies. with 165, 252 members.
During the year these Endeavorers contrib

The Value of Charcoal.

FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL IT - IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 10 the
safest and most efficient disinfectant and purnef
In nature, but few realize fits value when taken
into the human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of
II the better; IT Ii not a drug at all. but simply
absorbs the gAsce and Impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and carries them
oat of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking
drinking after eating oniens and other edorous
vegetables.
Charcoal efectuaI1y clears and improves the
complexion 1t whitens the teeth and further acts
az q natural and eminentiy safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect In
the stomach and bowels; 1t 'disInfects the mouth
and throat from the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or an.
other, but probably. the best charcoal and the
most for the money is In stuart's Charcoal Lozcn-
ges; they are composed Of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form rather in the form OF large

ing. Almost all mission papers give some
word concerning the liquor traffic In
natives. Have few clippings ready to
pass to those who do not know how to
take part in the meeting. Call for these
clippings In order making a continuous
thought Of the different items, as they all
go to show how temperance and missions
should go hand in hand. Call for three
short prayers, the first for our missionaries,
that God will strengthen them and will
show how to help them in the great
work they are doing; the second for the
cause of temperance and that the heads
Of our government will see its evil and
will use their influence to put down this
great curse: the third that God will help
each member of the Christian Endeavor
Society to do his or her best to make
this land a consistent Christian nation,
that its lights may shine into other lands
This would be a suitable time to have pc
titions for the members to sign-any that

the government is allowing this traffic for
the gain that comes.

TELErHoNE FRANcnIsE.

The amended telephone franchise
asked for by the Interstate Telephone
company is even more detrimental to
the best interests of the business
men than the first one submitted to
the city council. 1t fixes the rates
for a business phone at 81 so and
residence at 81. so. That is 81 less
than the present company is charging
for business phone per month, but
there is a provision in the amended
franchise that In two years the ques-
tion OF rates shall be left with
board Of arbitration, at the same
time the company claims that the
more phones there are, the higher its
rates will be. If this is the custom
throughout the country, as claimed,
1t will be an easy matter to convince
an arbitration board that a raise
should follow the increase and 1t is
not probable that a board would
wholly ignore the general custom in
such matters; then we may safely
conclude that an increase in prices
will be made two years hence and
those who are now paying 50. 80 for
a single phone will be compelled to
pay 81 for the double service. The
best interests Of the business COM
muaity will be served by the city
council If il refuses to grant the
franchise for an exchange in the city.
A franchise for a toll station would
not be Objectionable; but there are
many reasons why another exchange
should not be established. The
streets are now burdened with poles
and an attempt to increase the mum
Der will be met with the opposition
Of property owners. We do not want
Occur d'Alene to become a town Of
tall poles. There Is no necessity fol
the double system, and 1t WoulC
prove a nuisance as we'll as expensive
in the end. Some urge that tbs
double service would result finally il
but one company occupying the field
II this is true, what Is the use II
permitting the installation OF an
other system, if it is to end where
began? We submit that if there is {
be but one company in the end tn
business interests will be bette
served by that company which has
system of wires covering the entir
intermountain country. If the ne
company is anxious to come in her
with local exchane and believes tha
1t is such a paying proposition,
ought to be willing to pay the city
say 81, 600 for the privilege. IL v
were without an exchange aud 1t vi
an experiment, the value of the frat
chise would be small; but the ol
company has demonstrated that the
is business here, aud there ought
be a value to the privilege for al
other line \ double system Of tel
phones means that every busiue
man aud every telephone custom
must use two phones. All Of the
things should be fully considered

in the matter; but the tableing

on the subject would indicate th

If President Roosevelt Is able,
with the assistance Of congress, to
carry out but few Of the many pro-
posals Of reform that he makes in bis
message. he will have accomplished
more in the next four years for the
good Of the country than has been
done by his predecessors during the
past two decades. His message, which
is printed ia full in this issue Of the
Press, is au able state paper, aud the
nonpartfsan will view it as a docu-
meut of unusual merit, containing
much thai is good and little which
may be condemned The position Of
the president on the rights Of labor,
Is simply uua-sailable, except from a
prejudieed point Of view, and his
attitude toward the great corporations
Is just and fair. He recognizes the
rights of both labor and capital and
condemns the unlawful acts of either.
The president evidently sees the drift
toward socialism, If judged by the
closing paragraph Of that part Of the
message treating Of corporations, and
sounds a warning for legislation that
will cure some of the evils OF tbs
trusts. The question of irrigation il
ably handled and a number Of Other
subjects of national Importance are
covered in the message. Read tbs

There has been much said In pub
lie speeches and the newspapers
about modern methods Of irrigation
that are being adopted by the govern
ment for the reclamation Of great
tracts Of desert land in the arid
west. The undertakings are un-
great feats Of engineering,
those involving storage
Of immense capacity, and
many are inclined to look upon the
work as something possible only by
the expert engineers Of the present
day bat the student Of ancient his
tory knows that these enterprises, in
GLIDING the storage reservoirs, are
not new; they are but an imitation
Of the work Of ancient Egyptian
engineers. Great reservoirs for the
storage Of water for irrigation were
constructed by these people 5000
years B. c., and the water turned in
to them from rivers for the purpose
of moistening the parched earth Of
the desert valleys. It was this system
of irrigation that made the dens'
population Of the Nile valley posi-
BILE, and the same conditions in tbs
irrigated valleys of the arid west will
make possible a dense and prosperoul
population, but the whole system l.
older than the Christian era b!
several thousand years, as are man!
other socalled modern methods an'
ideas.

With a population Of ., 500 people
in one ward and 500 In the other, It
does not look as though the board OF
trustees was very particular about
following the law when 1t created
these wards in the evolution of our
government from that Of village to
city of the seoond class. The law
says plainly that the division shall
be- made on linss separating the cor
poration into wards of equal popula-
tion as nearly as may be possible.
II it was the intention of the board
to doathis the members we're misin-
formed as to actual conditions. The
division is not fair to the people liv-
ing east of Third street, because they
will have the same representation as
those west of the dividing line, with
about 1--WE times the population. The
Press is calling public attention to
this matter because the people are
interested aud it is important that
the error should be remedied before
the spring election takes place II
possible. We have no doubt the
members of the board Of trustees
we're doing what they believed right
in the matter at the time, but the
error is so plain that they will hard
ly neglect to remedy it il a change
can be made. They might make
three wards by a further division Of
the territory east of Third street,
which would help matters to som'
extent. Something ought to be don'
before the spring election.

1t is an idle boast when two news
papers make a business failure for

to consolidate them and lay claim to

to be given credit for a little com

that the consolidation Of two news
