We Don't Believe it.

A Cottonwood girl who saw tobac-
CO plant in bloom at Kooskia innocent
ly asked what time of the year the ci-
gars got ripe. Perce Herald.
We rise to remark that the above
isn't true. Cottonwood girls are not
as Ignorant as this would imply. They
know cigars don't grow on tobacco
plants; they are also aware that the
cows tail is not used as handle with
which to pump out the milk, and they
are not expecting to find glases of beer
hanging on the hop vines. In fact,
Cottonwood girls are as bright and
wise as their sisters in any other
part of the state and we will not stand
for them being ridiculed. Better stop
it.-Camas Prairie Chronicle.

Portland Exposition Items.

Capt. Sweedy, the noted high diver
is now giving two daily performances
on the Trail at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. Capt. Speedy dives from
a tower no feet high into a tank OF
water only two feet deep. His tower
is merely fragile ladder affair built
in the center of the Trail, and his div
ing acts are free to all.
A Japanese tea house and garden,
built on the edge of Guilds Lake,
constitutes a new feature at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition. The house is
built in the Japanese style, and tea
and rice cakes are served on the cosy
veranda by cute little maids from
Japan. The new establishment is To-
Gated on Gray's boulevard. at the very
outer edge Of the Trail.
The Trail at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition is now being covered with
a canvas roof for its entire length along
thst part of which extends over the
lake. This is the main section of the
Trail. The roof will afford protection
from the sun and make the Trail more
nonular than ever. This is said to be
the biggest canvas roofing ever under
taken.
OF all the free shows inside the
Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds
such as moving picture exhibits,
stereoptican entertainments and the
like, were charged for at the rate of 2s
cents show, the average price for
such performances when given out
side, it would cost the visitor $3.50 to
see them all. There are nine of these
shows. and all are absolutely free to
exposition visitors. Each show gives
several performances daily.
The skill with which the Portland
street car lines handle the crowds o.
visitors to the Exposition is matter
of favorable comment from all quarters.
Though from $4,000 to $4,000
people ride to the fair every day, there
is practically no crowding, and the
conductors are winning praise for theil
uniform courtesy and attention to the
passengers. The exposition is only
fifteen minutes ride from the business
center of Portland.
A solid cake of natural soda, weigh
ing half a ton, which was mined in Al
bany county, Wyoming, is on exhi'
bition in Wyoming's section in the
mines and metallurgy building at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. The
cake oil soda resembles in appearance
an immense block of ice. Soda il
found in Wyoming, notably in Carbon
Natrona and Albany counties, in de
posts varying in size from few
acres to one hundred acres and il
depth from few inches to sixteeI
feet.

Plenty of Water.

C.. w. Broman has we'll at his resi-
dence which he thinks taps an mex
haustable supply of excellent water at
a depth only As feet. Mr.. Broman
says the present town pump has been
tried several times and has not been
able to lower the water supply in the
least. This, together with the fact
that other good wells have been struck
at about the same depth both below
and above his place, leads him to be-
lieve the town can get an abundant
supply. The well recently sunk at
the head of the draw above the Chris
tian church is, it is thought, too far
west and has tapped only a small vein
from the main supply. This is borne
out by the fact that in the town well
the water comes in from the east.

E. A. Fry of Steavensville, Montana
arrived in Troy last Monday morning
and expects to rent place with a view
of buying in the near future. Mr.. Fry
is highly pleased with this section of
the country and was surprised to see
the immense crops growing on Ameri-
can and Driscoll ridges, and said that
where he had lived for long time
they had to irrigate, and that good old
natures plans for raising crops were far
ahead of artificial ones and that he did
not want any more OF that.

Vlslten Rome.

From the Moscow Daily Journal we
clipped the following account of the
recent visit of Father Hendrickx of this
county to Rome:
Leaving Moscow this spring he
went to New York City, from there he
sailed on the White Star Line steamer
Celtic" going first to Liverpool,
thence across the North Sea to Hol-
land. After visiting there few days
he left for Rome in company with
brother priest. They passed through
the tunnel recently built through the
Alps. This tunnel is miles in
length and it took half an hour to pass
through.
At Rome he had the great distinc-
ton of having an audience with Pope
Plus x. The Holy father expressed
his esteem and love for this country"
said Father Hendrickx. In his own
words he gave the meaning that this
was the main country for the rest of
the world.
The affair that I went mainly for
was settled in my favor. This was the
famous divorce case"
Father Hendrickx attended Rome
also as a delegate of the Eucharistic
League of the Unitad States who have
membership of 5000 Catholic priests
in the United States. This was a
great honor as he was the only dele
gate west of the Rocky Mounains who
attended or was appointed.
The sessions were held in the
Church of the Holy Apostles" coItin-
ued Father Hendrickx. This is a most
venerable building and was erected
in the 18th century. 1t is in pure
| ly Romanesque style. The Pope him
self presided at the last session and
his sermon proved him to be one Of
the greatest orators of the age. His
arrival was announced by the blare oi
"a silver trumpets. He was proceed
ed by 420 bishops from all parts ol
the world; by 90 cardinals and SOC
noblemen of the Swiss Guard dressed
like soldiers.
The voice of the Pope is as cleal
as bell Notwithstanding his age which
is 90 years. He has an unassumine
democratic way of shaking hands with
every one he meets.
He granted me special blessing
for the people of Moscow and pre-
sented me with document signed by
himself with his coat of arms and --latest
photograph attached. The documenf
is at present at the Catholic church
The Pope said With the exception
Of the Moscow in Russia there is but
one Moscow that 1 hold dear and thai
is in Latah county.
Going over and coming back
lectured to about 800 passengers"
After leaving Rome Father Hend
/ rickx visited Austria, Switzerland
, France, Germany, Belgium, England
/ Ireland and Holland.
!; He left the residence of his brothe
= in Venlo, Holland, for home on Jul,
I8 and arrived in New York July %

tiemogogue will turn with the hope
Of getting a few votes by attribut-
ing the enactment Of this la" to
the Republican party which hap
pens to have majority in the low
er house of the legislature which
passed the game law. To asscyer-
ate the Republican party's respon-
sibility of this law is stretching a
statement about three times be-
yond what the facts in the case
will confirm. Whatever laws were
passed hy the Missouri Legislature
at its last session were passed only
by a iointure Of both house and
senate, and which could only be-
come operative upon the approval
of the governor, or failing Of the
Iatters approval, then by passing
it over his veto by q two-thirds
majority of both houses. So, re-
viewing the elements Of the law
making functions of the state. we
find the house Republican, the sen
ate Dcmocrtic and the governor
Democratic also, or the latter
party being in proponderance Of
two to one SO far as possessing the
power of applying law, wise or
unwise, popular OF unpopular, up
on the people. We are not yet
ready to condemn either party for
the enactment of the present game
law for the reason that there is as
yet no evidence that it is an i'm
practicable law or that it intlicts
unduly a hardship on any class Of
citizens. Its object, primarily, is
to prevent the extinction Of the
wild animals and birds Of our for
ests and fields. The levy of tax
through the law upon those who
would hunt is for the purpose of
providing the means of enforcing
the statute. The man who hunts
from true instincts of sportsman
will not object to a measure which
will prolong the preservation Of
game or to the levy of the tax
which he Is compelled to pay to
aid III this preseryativo work. 1t
may possibly occur that we may
have more to say upon the subject
later on.

Tariff reformers will pretty gen
orally be found to be Democrats
and free traders in disguise. The
standpatters have all the force of
the argument on their side for the
reason that it has been demonstrate
cd that a protective tariff conduces
to the prosperity and welfare of
masses, while on the other hand it
has never yet been shown that by
taking down the tariff wall the
trusts have suffered through the
breach. We have an example in
this when at the earnest appeal Of
the late Senator Vest the duty on
anthracite coal was removed for a
period that the rapacity of the coal
trust might be curbed. The re
suit was it never fcazed the trust.
Our free trade friends who are
thus pretending to have desire to
reach the trusts through breach
in the tariff wall arc in reality con-
templatlng an assault upon the
prosperity of the masses, similar
to that they waged in 1892. But
that attack is not yet forgotten.

craft ;n The Good Old Days.

Grover Cleveland, in melancholy
mood, regrets the departure of the
simple and severe old days when
Americans were poor and honest.
The Equitable disclosures and the
Numerous graft prosecutions cause
him to believe that increasing
wealth is sappipg the morals of the
public.
He forgets the innnmerabIe oc-
casions in the past when corruption
on Il grand scale was brought to
light and men said, as he says now,
that the good old days of honesty
had gone,
If history is to be relied upon,
the good old DAYS o. honesty never
existed except in Imagination.
In Jackson day the country
was poorer and the revenues of the
government were much smaller
than now, but the defaications in
the New York custom house and
the steallngs in the postoilicc de-
partmcnt were large, even when
measured by the present standard
of wealth and revenue. And
worse yct-thcy did not excite the
general popular Indignation that
smaller thcfts do today.
Cptodate ''frenzicd finance" is
bad. But for many years before
the war the ''wilac&t bank" graft
the palming off on the public of
paper money that was afterwards
lcpudiated-was carried on in the
country on a grand scale. And
the public tamely submitted.
President Buchanan and his AS
sociates who were maneuycring for
