the water away from where it
breeds life and blessings to the
people among whom it runs to a
place of death to all living spec
les. To the court there appears
a great difference to the public

the court is united as to the per-
petual right of the defendant,
River, to run its water within
the boundaries of Idaho until
they meet Oregon and Washing
ton. Idaho's development,
through its aid, as we'll as that of
Washington and Oregon can
plainly be counted on. Idaho
needs it for her mines, for the
Pacific coast, for the nation, for
the world. And the coast would
feel that it had set back the
wheels of progress of our age to
do anything that would take
from her this natural right. The
decree of the Circuit court is
affirmed with costs. So ordered.
No adverse but endorsement by
the associate judges.

that was theirs before the light
dawned. Such a love makes it
impossible for either to conceal
the self, and both souls become
as a book to each other, With
such a spirit in the two hearts,
come sorrow, come fortune, com e
denial or come possession, come
separation or come constant
companionship, the power of
that love is felt in equal volume,
Frightening every way, heigten-
ing every purpose, broadening
every view, raising the souls of
two small human beiugs up into
sympathy with the great giver
of love, who is Love. Such a
love is akin to religion, and once
known, can nevermore leave the
soul in utter darkness.

Let us have just one thought
for those who have only quiet
work to do, whose way is fal
from the rush of human feet,
whose tasks are simple and I'M
heralded. Perhaps sometimes
they seem to feel lost to sight
and unappreciated in the world.
Perhaps they are. In a sense
they are. But they do not live
in vain. 1t would be a crime tc
suggest it; for if quiet work
were vain work, then success
would be simply uproar and
noise. Quiet work well done,
just where we are placed, done
conscientiously because we are
alive to claims of the race and OF
our own people upon us is sup
RENE good. The sum total of all
such quiet work makes the ma
tional strength. 1t marks the
national character. none of it

How much of delight comes to
the humblest life of us all when
we realize that there is ever a
force available in the world to
lift us up. l do not mean up to
afduence necessarily or up to
scholarship, or up to fame. l
mean force to lift us up to a
determination that the best in
US shall show out, and that the
best music our souls can make in
this great universe of music shall
resound; and that power is love.
Many miss it; many mistake it
for something less high, and
many go through life eating
merely the husks that swine do
eat, thinking that to be all that
love means and never getting
any better realization. Love is
with such associated with i'm
purity and selfish delight, but
the love this thought has in mind
is the love that will transform
the purposes of two human be-
ings, so that they no longer

Do not be afraid Of the word
culture, 1t is nothing to be
afraid of. 1t has nothing to do
with snobbish pretence based
upon this or that college or uni
versity. There are many men
and women who have gone
through all educational oppor-
tunities and have no culture.
There are some who know a
a great deal about a great many
subjects and have it at their
fingertips, and they are not
cultured. Culture is a very
simple thing. 1t is the love for,
and the enjoyment of the higher
thoughts of the world, and these
are not denied to the very poor
est and humblest of us. They
are ours to possess and own as
our own in the poetry and in the
literature of the world. The
spirit of culture may even be in
us when access to books is al
most denied; for books, after all,
are simply interpretations Of
mind action, and mind action is
not denied to anyone of US, hence,
in our own little way we may
ourselves be origi n n 9
thoughts of culture which others
have interpreted into written
words.
To live the lighter life Of the
mind has its own compensation.
Of course a cultured spirit says
farewell to many things that are
keenly enjoyed by those who
care not for hiSher things. But
the growth upward, has in itself
reward that the lower lives dc
not understand. 1t has vision
that is denied to those who are
content with valley existence.

Random Thoughts By The staff.

The course of river is a
beautiful picture of the course OF
a life. First, there is a little
tiny stream that a pebble can di-
vert and that seems too small
and feeble to be reckoned with
at all as a power in the world.
This is infancy. Then there is
the bubbling and noisy brook,
chattering all day long as it
wanders through shady dales
and pleasant pastures, careless,
needless, ineffective. This is
childhood. Then the broader
stream that begins to be of some
moment in the world, not large
enough for commerce to burden
its breast, but large enough to
give beauty to the landscape and
to be known by a name that
makes it seem distinct from
every other stream 10 the world.
This is youth. Then comes the
time when the burdens of the
world are borne on their way,
when some of the picturesque
ness of the earlier brook is lost
because this greater stream has
value to the worlds work, and
so its banks become lined with
evidences that the world is using
it. This is maturity. But the
restless river must flow on; it
cannot stop nor stay. 1t becom-
es broad arm of the sea and
with dignity and breadth of pur,
pose and with blessings to the
world it moves still onward.
This is old age. And at last it
passes out into the sea. 1t car
ries its contribution to that
eternity of waters that forever
has been fed by all the streams
of all the world and yet has
never risen to the point where it
can take no more. That sea is
death. Bat that sea is not the
end; for the sea above draws up
ward the substance of that sea,
compelling it, without any loss
except dross and salt, to return
to the skies above that which
the mighty stream brought down
to the sea. Thus the end is only
beginning of higher things. Is
this not true picture of life +?

All of knowledge will never be
laid bare. This gives zest to
those of us who desire to know.
The spirit that makes men eager
to conquer the secrets of the
frigid zones is the same spirit
that can be in US, no matter
what our line of investigation.
The earth, the sky, man and the
mind have yet their secrets to
reveal, and it is possible for
those who desire to know to go
just little beyond that which is
already known. 1t reminds one
of the work of the coral makers.
Each creature draws from the
waters around it the material for
little cell. 1t does not take
from its neighbor, but it makes
a real contribution to the whole,
and when it has passed away its
effort abides, ever holding back
more strongly the efforts of
chaotic waves. And so all
human knowledge, taken from
the unfathomed depths around
us by each of us, adds to the
great total and makes the world
a better place to live in.

and butter.

and the buttered side Of course was
