Editors Opinion Of Royal Gorge.

Edith Tozier Wcatherred, in
describing recent trip over the
Denver 4 Rio Grrnde Railroad
says in "The Exposition:
"At last the goal of the ambition
of years has been reached-mar.
velous, wonderful, grand and in.
spring Royal Gorge is on eithei
hand. The only disappointing
thing is you only have one pair o.
eyes, while the train darts in and
out of the tremendous chasm. L
any who have never seen it ar,
wondering how it looks just &C anC
see. Thousands have tried to DIES
cribc it, yet every attempt fall
short of giving the subject justice

the bill will pass the Senate with
out much trouble, but will have a
rocky road in the House.
A feature that is attracting much
unfavorable comment in political
circles is the activity of the Sho-
shone members in favor of division.
Shoshone is jealous OF the growing
political power of Kootenai and
wants the county dismembered SO
that her prestige in the North will
be imperial.
The latest move is the introduce
ion of the bill favored byCGur d'A-
lene, celebrating Kootenai and
creating two new counties.
It's lovely scrap.

PUSH TIE BRIDGE BILL

bill that will be introduced The
only bill that has, or will, go
through with an unanimous vote
will be the bill to pay legislative
expenses. The bill to divide Koo-
tenai County, introduced by the
Senator, is meeting with the most
strenuous opposition imaginable,
yet this did not deter him from
getting the division bill in early
and pushing it with his well-rcc-
ognized vigor. We want our legis-
lative delegation to introduce our
bridge bill and push it with equal
vigor, and carry out the pledge
made the people Of Boomers Ferry.
The HERALD publishes these lines
with no unfriendly feeling towards
either Senator Taylor or our rep
resentatives. On the other hand,
we feel most cordial toward them.
Our only object is to point out in
plain language a mistake that is
being made. SO far as Senator
Taylor's division bill is concerned,
he is but carrying out an election
pledge. Everybody knew that di,
vision was coming up at this session
and when Standpoint demanded tho
nomination for Senator everybody
knew what it was for, and wher
Senator Taylor was nominated
everybody knew who the champion
of division was to be. No fault cal
be found with Senator Taylor OF
that score, whether they be for o
against division.
What Bonders Ferry asks is act
, ion on that bridge bill.

Those who have a fancy for the
Comedy Drama will like this play
with connecting features and rca-
son in plot, and incident will be
pleased, having been given a good
company headed by Master Wilfred
Dunbar as Buster Brown and James

the youngest singing and dancing
comedians on the American stage,
and as Buster plays those children's
pranks on Happy, the policeman

comedy enjoyed by young and old
alike. The play is well provided
with heartfelt interest which
holds one from the first to the last
act. This is big company with {

The fact that Senator Taylor has
not introduced the bill asking an
for a bridge across
the Kootenai River at Boomers Fer
ry is a matter of much disappoint-
ment to the people OF this place.
The Senator seemed anxious to
have the honor of introducing the
bill, and accordingly it was pre-
pared and forwarded to him at the
beginning of the session. And now
with half the session gone, it has
not yet been introduced.
The people here have gone to
considerable trouble in the matter.
They first had the county commits
sioners employ Engineer Ashley to
make an estimate Of the cost. Then
the citizens have been called out ia
attend several meetings to consult
about the matter. Next they draft
ed the bill, and this has been fol-
lowed up by collecting petitions in
its favor. Now, to find the session
nearly half gone and no bill in
troduced, it is disappointing to say
the least.
The entire legislative delegation
from this county is pledged to thii
bill--three of them at least having
made the pledge from the rostrun
in Boomers Ferry during the cam
paign.
The Senator writes the committe
here in Boomers Ferry that Their
is opposition to all road and bridg
bills at Boise. No doubt of it. Their
will be opposition to every othe

Mild Weather.

Mild weather in the Kootenai
country is again a subject of favor
able comment. For the past ten
days the mercury has ranged above
freezing point, except once or twice
at night it may have gone a few
degrees lower. Contrast with this
the reports from the Mississippi
Valley and the East generally,
where they are suffering with
storms and zero weather, and We

THE county division fight wakes
warm at Boise. The report that
Chas. L. Hoffman, who is leading

Sixth District.-Mr. Samuel Forman was
buried at Stelzes Church on the 18th instant.
He had been member of the Lutheran Church
for number of years and took an active part
in the erection of a steeple and belfry on Stelzes
Church, which is now so much appreciated by
the members, although he had much opposi-
ton at the time. He was stonemason by
trade and SO years of age. He leaves five chill
dren and twenty-three grandchildren.
The first query when housekeepers meet
(after salutations) is How many eggs do your
hens lay? With eggs at % cents dozen they
are hunted up pretty closely and egg-nog for
Christmas will not be over abundant; but
there will be plenty of barrels of cider tapped.
The custom of making presents at this sea-
son is considerably on the increase. The coun-
try girls employed in the factories at New Free
dom have more pin money than when at home,
and some are visiting Baltimore to make their
purchases.

A Correction Due to Mr.. zerhusen.-THE
UNION takes much pleasure in correcting a
mistake on the part of our local correspondent
at Perry Hall in his letter that appeared in this
paper last week, and which did an injustice to
Mr.. Henry Zerhusen. postmaster at Fullerton.
The Objectionable words occurred in a refer
ence to the K. F. d. at that place, and were as
follows: ut is learned that the tin mail box
can be bought for 60 cents each. while the P.
M. at Fullerton asks 50 apiece for them"
As matter of fact Mr.. Zerhuzen is not sell
ing mail boxes of any kind and could not do so
if he wished because he would, by SO doing,
violate a rule of the department and lay him.
self liable to dismissal. In directing that mail
should not be delivered to those at Perry Hall
who failed to put up boxes. he was only follow
ing the orders of the department, as he has DO
option in the matter whatever.
Mr.. Zerhusen is an excellent citizen and a
thoroughly capable official and is rendering
the public efficient service as postmaster at
Fullerton, an Office that has been greatly inn
proved since it has been in his charge. He is
a member of the Baltimore banking firm of
Hummer & Becker.

The princely pine with fragrant cone,
Sweet myrtle bands and climbing green,
Stars from the hills in snow-pearl sheen.
Hark tits Heavens angelic throng,
Glory and peace from lips of song;
Bethlehem,s plains. o, King, to Thee
Lowly bend the adoring knee
Star of All Ages. glory is Thine;
The world kneels at the manager shrine.
DEFENDERS snow, the bloom of May,
The crown of age, children at play,
To weary heart and empty hand
Send thrill of joy. Who can withstand?
Who to the cry of want delay.
Or, succor fail on this glad day2
Grand anthems swell from Christmas choir,
The hearthstone CLOVIS with yule-log fire,
The glad flame in love ascending,
Smiles DER those meath loves gifts bending.
Giver of Gifts, we do believe -
IT'S better to give than to receive.
Give to sad lives and gloomy homes.
Give, where warm sunshine rarely comes.
o, Saviour, King, give heart and hand
To those who have in every land
That they may gifts of joy outpour
In grateful streams, -from open door.
With angels song, at angels hour,
With shepherds haste, with magi' dover,
In hallowed walls we sing and pray
What shall we give to Thee today?
The children of thy love divine =
We give ourselves,-our all is thine.

Incendiarism on the Increase.-The Bel
air 1Eqis of last week said: 1.-The report of
the Hartford Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
which was submitted to the members OH Mon
day by the board of directors contains a state
ment that is most alarming to the best inter-
ests of any civilized community. In making
up their list of causes for fire the largest single
item is supposed incendiarism. When we
think of the many circumstances to which an
origin can be traced, and find that the one
causing most serious loss is from this felony, it
would seem that the laws of our State lack the
proper enforcement.
I'm criminal circles it is a well recognized
fact that this felony is one of the most difficult
to punish, as detection is surrounded by so
many circumstances that allow the criminal
to escape. Anticipating the better enforce
ment of the law, our State Legislature created
the Office of Fire Marshal for the purpose of
ferreting out the incidents surmounting all
suspicious fires. This Office has at its COM
mand sum of money sufficient to employ all
modern methods of detecting criminals, yet so
far the results do not seem to be very satis-
factory.
This crime is one of the most severe under
the criminal code, being punishable by death
in the discretion of the court. The seriousness
of possible consequences justifes commensu-
rate penalty, but it would seem from expert
ence that this branch of our State government
should employ more effectual means Of de-
tecting criminals, thereby lesseniDg this grave
crime"
