time; then, when mothers back was
turned, she toddled out to the garden
behind the house. r.' .....
Along the foot Of the garden ran
a branch line of the London and North

gaps.
With her dollie under her arm Rosie

cars. The total capitalization Of these
railroads represented in stock and other

dollars. The exports OF the country
have increased in value from $751;, 1898,

IS DOING GOOD WORK.

The Washington Correspondent Of
the Nez Perez Herald, speaking of
matters of interest to this state, has
the following to say relative to Con-
gresham French
Congressman French's honesty and
integrity was put to the test last week
on the vote for the constructive mile
age grab. His mileage would amount
to the magnificent sum Of S11O0, and
a vote was being taken to give the
members this extra mileage which they
clearly were not entitled to, but which
they could appropriate to themselves if
they so desired. A majority of the far
western members voted yes, but French
voted no, and thus threw aside Sl1OO
Idaho may we'll be proud Of the record
made by Burton L. French in the con-
gress just closed. Although the
youngest member in the house and
from state small in population, he
has taken a high place in the estima-
ton of his colleagues, and is recogniz-
ed by old war horses like Cannon, Dali
eel, Grosvenor and Payne as decid-
edly coming man, and one who must
be reconed with in the next congress.
While Mr.. French has not flooded the
house with oratory, he has worked hard
before committees, where real work is
done, and during the few times he has
addressed the house he has been given
respectful attention. It is needless to
say that Mr.. French viii come back

The Moscow Daily Journal, with
much consistency, takes some of the
Moscow business men to task for send
ing money out Of town for printing
that might have been done in Moscow,
thereby keeping several hundred dol
lares in the community that must
now go into the hands Of eastern print
ers. 1t is true, owing to the differ
ence in labor and material prices, that
the job referred to by the Journal,
would be done cheaper in the East,
but the difference is no greater than
that Of other lines. Consistently is a

HALF CENTURY OF GROWTH

In the half century which has elapsed
since the Republican party was organ
lied, the nation has enjoyed remarka-
BILE progress and growth. The nation
al area has been increased by the an
nexation Of Alaska and many islands
II the seas, Including Hawaii, the
Philippines, and Porto Rico. The
greatest achievement Of the period was
undoubtedly the emancipation Of near
ly four million bondmen, the constitu-
tional prohibition Of human slavery on
American soil forever, the settlement
OF the open dispute as to the fundamen
tai nature Of this union in a final de-
cision against the doctrine Of secession
and the establishment Of a stronger and
better United States.
In fifty years the number Of states
has been increased from 81 to AS.
The population Of the country which was
only %, 900, 900 in 1850, had grown
to 100000, in 1900. While but
100000 votes were cast for presi-
dent in 1852, 14,00O,000 voters pre-
scented themselves at the polls in 1900.
The material progress in the period
under review is unexampled in the his
tory Of the nation, may be read at a
glance in the following table.

Onalaska, Wis, April 21.-All Of the
young people and many older ones are
excited over the threatened enforce
ment Of an ordinance against bicycling
on sidewalks. Public school teachers
are among the malcontents, as every
street in the city is covered with loose
sand from three to six inches deep
and this means practically the eXtinc
ton Of bicycles in Onalaska.
From o'clock until dark the streets
were lined with groups of wheelmen
talking excitedly about the ordinance
and occasionally breaking up for mad
spins on the sidewalks. Signs put up
by order of the council were torn
down after dark and the general de-
termination is to ignore the ordinance,
the proposed enforcement of which is
charged to deliberate malice. No ar
rests have been made.
