FOR COMMISSIONER OF I'M
MIGRATION.

Among the most important appoint
ments that Governor Gooding viii be
called upon to make will be that of
commissioner of immigration. There
are a number of aspirants for this posi-
ton, and undoubtedly there are several
among them who could fill the posi-
ton quite satisfactorily. An appoint
ment was made for this position two
years ago by Governor Morrison, but
he resigned, and we doubt if fifty per
cent. of the people of the state could
tell whether there had been an APP
pointment made to fill the vacancy.
We learn that many Of the friends Of
Monte Gwinn have been urging him
as candidate. We earnestly hope he
will consent to become a candidate and
that he will receive the appointment.
We know of no better qualified man in
the state than Mr.. Gwinn for this posi-
ton. All the people of the state would
know all the time that we had an i'm
migration commissioner.
Governor Gooding could make no
better appointment than that of Mon
tie B. Gwinn for immigration com
MISUNDERSTANDING Falls Register.
Although Nugget understands
that Mr.. Gwinn is not an appli-
can't for appointmentto the pos
ition referred to in the foregoing,
it also understands that he
would accept the position if
means were provided to make a
campaign for bringing immi-
grants to the state, commensu-
rate with the Importance of hav-
ing our splendid but sparsely
settled domain peopled and de-
veloped. Mr.. Gwinn is too big
and too activea man to be asked
to accept such a position with
out being provided with means
to carry out the work which
would be expected of him, on
broad and liberal lines. The
work Of the commissioners Of i'm
migration has in it such posi-
bilities under present condition
OF affairs in Idaho, that we can
not afford to have the position
filled by man after whom peo-
pie will have to inquire to learn
who he is and where they can
find him. There will be no dan
ger Of that being the case with
Monte B. Gwinn in the position.
He would let the people know
there was something doing in
this great commonwealth, and
would be able to enlist others to
assist in advertising tile attrac-
titns OF, and advantages, Idaho
has to offer to people seeking
homes. The managers of the
great undertakings to reclaim
our arid lands would at once
recognize Mr.. Gwinn's energy,

promoters would heartily CO.

RIDING THE HORSES TO WATER.

When the clover bloom whitened the
pastures,
And wheat fields cleaned bright in the
sun.
When the meadow-lark, hid by the road
side.
Sang in joy of new day begun
When the wild rose bloomed in the
thicket,
Half hid by the tall. dewy grass
TO ride the horses to water
A barefooted laddie and lass.
When the sun trailed his crimson and
purple
Behind the tall poplar trees,
When the bird note was hushed in the
thicket,
And the clover bloom dreamed of its
bees,
We FASTENED away TO the meadow,
Down the path, thro' the soft, warm
grass
To ride the horses to water
A barefooted laddie and lass.
Oh, my beautiful clover-starred meadow,
How far off you seem to-day.
And you, little path on the hillside,
Were never so far away;
My heart ever cries for the children
And the stir Of the wind-blown grass,
AS they rode the horses to water
A bnrefooted laddie and lass.

DANCES OF THE CORA INDIANS.
Ceremonies in Spring Following "a Long
Fast.

Ceremonies in Spring Following Long
Fast.
In the spring of the year the Cora
assemble In their mitote or dancing
place on five consecutive Wednesdays,
says a writer in the Southern Work
man. An old woman has charge of a
large sacred ground bowl, called
Mother" and decorated inside and out
with numerous strings of vari-colored
beads. There are some wads of cot
ton in the bowl, and under them lie
two carved stone figures of great an
tiquity.
Every person arriving places
flower in the bowl on the cotton, until
it is completely filled with gorgeous
tropical blossoms. Soon after sunset
the ceremonies commence with a long
prayer to the morning star, the tutelar
genius of the Cora, who is invited to
come and to bring with him all the
other gods. When the dance begins,
after nightfull the principal singer ac-
companies himself on the musical bow.
This is the only musical instrument
vi tue AOEd.
They dance in sort Of quick two
step, and every time a dancer arrives
in front of the altar he turns twice
sharply around OF course, each man
dances for himself, one behind an
other.
Just before dawn, when the morning
star is brightest, the ceremonies are
concluded with fevent prayers. Then
bowl is brought to the officiating
leader in the singing. This bowl con
tains water from sacred lake in Cora

sacred water. he sprinkles the water
over the Mother" bowl, over the ears

the feast to be held after the dancing
and other ceremonies are over. This

earth to delight everything living. BY
| the time the sun is up, everything is
/ over and the Cora are allowed to end
the long fast which precedes every
dance of this character. and restore
themselves with the good things their
women have prepared for them.

Uses for Beads,

That beads are still in fashion the

spied them woven in new shapes and
posing as ornaments in odd and unex-
pected places? For instance, a smart
hat of shaded taffeta silk with an odd
little plush bowl crown, which took
her fancy, she was surprised to see
had as its chief touch of novelty a
shield-shaped medallion made of many
colored beads, so arranged on the can
vas that they formed a conventional
lied flower. The medallion was used
seemingly TO hold a cluster of wings
