Bead and Butter Plates.

Bread and butter plates are used at
all meals where butter IS served. The
slices of bread are put on the plates,
and just before the diners take their
seats a ball or square of butter may be
put on. In summer when the butter is
apt to melt quickly ii is better to have
the butter balls passed on ice. The
bread and butter plates are always re-
moved before dessert when the table is
cleared.

FORT SHERMAN RESERVE.

The efforts of Spokane people to
have the old Fort Sherman reserve
converted into soldiers home are
in keeping with the selfish motives
behind every movement that originates
in that city. Spokane took the troops
from Fort Sherman and caused the
abandonment of the post for selfish
motive and now seeks. against the
wishes Of the people Of Occur d.
Alene, to force US to give up the
idea of having a large slice Of land
Get apart for park purposes and the
balance put up at public auction and
sold for manufacturing sites. The
object of Spokane is twofold II a
soldiers home is established here, it
believes the jobbers Of that city would
furnish the supplies and it would also
keep manufacturing industries from
coming here, which might enable that
city to corral some of them. The
people of this place have made several
determined efforts to have something
done with the reservation and every
time they make move they have been
thwarted by Spokane influence, until
it looks as thouhg that city wishes to
keep the land a bowling wilderness
indefinitely if its objects are not
granted. h
A recent issue of the Spokesman
Review says that 65 business firms of
that city have signed petition ask !
ing that the fort be converted Into a !
home. When any OF our citizens are !
semtped to go to Spokane to trade we =
want them to remember that the !
business men of that city are working 4
against their interests and against the /
interests of this place in opposing the =
almost unanimous wishes of our .
people in this matter
The statement is made that the sale
is scheme to turn the ground over
TO big lumber company. This is
not true. The people petitioned our
members of congress to have 300
acres adjoining the town set aside for
perpetual park purposes. and to have
the balance appraised and sold to the |
highest bidder for cash.
The trouble with Spokane is that
she never sees anything except through
commercial eyes. She is not willing
to let Occur d'Alene have a public
park and adjust her own affairs with
out the unjust interference of that
city. She robbed Us OF the garrison
and now she wants to tell us what We
must do with the land.
One r. b. Scott, of Spokane, seems
TO be the moving spirit behind the
last attempt to delay the opening Of
the reserve, and We are reliably in
formed that he expects to be super
intendent Of the home in case one is
established That is his reason for
pushing the matter. Heretofore these
promoters have had the support of the
Washington senators, but they seem
20 have concluded to keep their hands
off and the prospects are good for
favorable action at an early date.
