LINCOLN AND STANTON.

There was n great contrast between
Mr.. Linooln's pleasant, genial manner
and that of Mr. stanton. said Mr.. Bates.
The latter In his intercourse with the
public was naughty, exacting and severe.
especially when he had a suspicion Of the
absolute loyalty or devotion to the cause
Of one with whom he was in communca-
ton.
con the other hand Lincoln freely told
to callers the contents Of dispatches from
the armies. and there were many occasions
when he disclosed to the public in advance
army maneuyres Of special importance
and which leaked through TO the enemy,
with the result of defeating our plans.
SO it came to pass that we were ordered
by Secretary Stanton not to place in the
little drawer copies Of dispatches telling
in advance Of certain important army
movements or relating 10 battle in pro-
gress or impending, until he had first
seen them. II some cases, the Secretary
retained both copies
MIR. Lincoln's keen eyes soon discovered
something wrong, and without criticising
our course he would occasionally ask, with
his eyes twinkling, whether the Secretary
did not have some later news. We could
not deceive him, and he would then 60 TO
the adjoining room and addressing Mr.
Stanton as Mar, would ask II he had any
later news from the front

letter was received from Jack Wintrup,
the operator at Wilmington His sigma

the final letter quite large, almost like
capital. 1t ended in series OF

observed one Of the cipher operators make
movement toward the little drawer In
which all incoming dispatches were filed
In order Of receipt.
He vas keenly anxious to hear the latest
news, and upon returning TO the War De-
partment on each occasion he would open
the drawer and, beginning with the last
despatch would read over the copies until
he reached one he had previously read.
Then he would generally remark.
I am down to raisins'
He explained this remark by telling
of the little girl who ate too much It her
birthday party and got so sick that she
threw up her dinner The doctor remarked
that she was out Of danger, because she
was down to rai-ins''
Lincoln was fond Of Shakespeare He
used 10 carry pocket editions OF the plays
about with him. and often while waiting
in the telegraph Office he would pull out
book and read aloud TO the operators.

evening when he was the Presidents only

preston and fervor as though lie had a

INDIAN EDUCATION.
Secretary OF the Interior Makes a
Good Showing for 1905.


The report Of the secretary OF the
interior contains the following infor-
nation concerning the education of
Indian children for the past year:
During the fiscal year ended June
so, 1905, 257 Indian schools were in
operation, as against 253 in 1904. OF
these 25 were non-reservation board
ing schools, with an enrollmeOt OF
97S5 pupils and an average attendance
CT 1858; SO were reservation boarding
schools, with an enrolment of IL, 400
pupils and an average attendance Of
10000; and 139 were day schools,
with an enrolment of 1899 pupils an
average attendance of S271, or a total
enrolment in the 257 government
schools OF 25,537 pupils and an aver
age attendance of 21,537. against a
total enrolment in 1904 of 25,24s pu-
pills an dan average attendance
of, 21,404, or an increased average
attendance in 1905 of 1873 pupils.
In addition to the pupils in govern
ment schools there was an average
attendance OF S91S pupils in mission
boarding and day schools and in con-
tract schools, including the normal
and agricultural institute at Hampton.
Va. and in public schools, against an
average attendance of 300 in 1904. an
increase of 21S.
The total enrolment in all schools
government, mission and contract
schools during 1905, was 30.1O6, and
the average attendance 25,455.
For the fiscal year 1905, the appro-
priation for construction purchase,
lease and repair of school buildings,
and for sewerage, water supply, light
ing plants, purchase of school sites,
and improvements of buildings and
grounds, made under the general
school appropriations. was s350,000,
as against $250,000 in 1904.
In addition to this congress appro-
| priated for the use OF the rs nonres-
ervation schools, for the erection Of
new buildings, water, sewer and light

FACTORY FOR EIIiENsBURG.
Monster Sugar Factory TO Re Built
Next Year.


"A beet sugar factory will be erect
ed at Ellensburg, Wash. next spring,
with an annual capacity of 10000
900 pounds of sugar" said Attorney
E. J. Dockery of Boise to a reporter
on the Portland Telegram, while en-
route home from a 10 days visit to
Ellensburg and Seattle.
He is the legal advisor for the pro-
moters OF the enterprise and he gave
out the Information that sugar
plant costing between 100000 and
$780, 900 will be installed In the early
spring. Two hundred thousand dol
lars of this amount has been sub
scribed by residents of Ellensburg
and capitalists of Seattle. The re-
mainder will be- made up by eastern
investors. who are back of the propo-
sition.
1T is necessary" said Mr.. Dock
cry that the farmers guarantee an
institution like this n certain acreage
of sugar beets for an, agreed length
OF time at a stipulated price per ton.
The crop is the most profitable that
can be grown in the semi-arid region.
Our plant will require as Its minimum
the cultivation of 5000 acres of land,
all planted to sugar beets. We al
ready have a guarantee of $500 acres
and 1000 additional acres will be
guaranteed within so days.
Our output under these conditions
will be 100000 pounds of refined
sugar each year. There are SIS plants
in the United States of general aver
age capacity. most of them being To-
Gated in the semi-arid west. Think
of this enormous annual output, and
then remember that we import annu-
ally 100000 tons of sugar. Doesn't
look like we would glut the market,
does It? The fact Is. that at our full
capacity we cannot furnish one
fourth of the product consumed in
the state of Washington alone.
THE land about Ellensburg is es-
pecially adapted to sugar beet cul-
ture. Nothing in Colorado. Utah,
south Idaho or eastern Oregon can
surpass It for this purpose. It has
been demonstrated that irrigable
lands are the best for sugar beets.
The demand for sugar in the United
States is greater per capita than in
any other county in the world. and
1t would require five times the num-
ber of plants now in existence to sup
ply the domestic demand. Those al
all familiar with this character OF
investment are particularly anxious
to become identified with such enter
prises."

bluffs of the Upper Missouri valley
in Wisconsin, where the rattler at
tains projections as to size and color,
says the Minneapolis Tribune. The
snake must be taken alive and decap-
ltated before he has an opportunity
to strike himself. once the deadly
poison is injected, the skin loses lus-
tire and value.
The price paid for perfect tanned
skins is about 81 each. and in addi-
tion the oil obtained from the snake
commands a high price for its sup
posed value as a cure for rheumatism
and kindred diseases. Each rattler
captured alive means about $3.50 to
the hunter.
Among the most successful hunters
is Alfred Johnson, who possesses
many large and beautiful skins. His
latest capture was nearly seven
feet long and carried 10 rattles. Mr..
johnson has succeeded in domesticat-
ing large number OF young rattlers
which allow him to handle them as
he will, and follow him at his call
like well-trained puppies.
He has now a colony of nearly 80
rattlers, all of which seem to bid him
a welcome whenever he appears. but
they have no welcome for strangers.
On bright sunshiny afternoons Mr..
Johnson and his snakes may be seen
taking a stroll in the vicinity OF his
home. and it is needless to add that
they are given entire possession of
the immediate neighborhood and are
undisturbed. In fact these outings
are becoming a source OF considera-
BILE complaint from citizens who fail
to see any attraction in the colony.
and the probabilities are that he will
soon be Obliged to seek more Sc
cluded spot for his snake farm.

TWO USES OF WATER.
Mining and Irrigation Under Klam-
ath Project

Two engineers of the reclamation
service of Klamath Falls have been
detailed for work on the lower Klam-
ath river and left for there few
days ago.
The object of the trip is to ascer-
tain what effect tho irrigation project
will have on that section. There are
a number of lift wheels in service
where small patches Of land are irri-
gated along that stream. but the
amount of land that Is irrigated is of
little consequence compared with the
placer mining industry,
Few people realize that when the
irrigation project for the reclamation
of the klamath basin was first map
ped out by the government that it
would answer a twofold purpose. but
that such is really a fact is becoming
well understood now.
In the lower country OF the Klamath
river there are bars full of gold. The

Two monks who had been committed
to lengthy seclusion begulled the
dreary hours of their confinement with
a game played by showing each other
small fat stones marked with black
dots. By preconcerted arrangement
the winner would inform the other
player Of his victory by repeating in
an undertone the first line OF the yes.
per prayer. In process of time the two
monks managed to complete the set Of
stones and to perfect the rules of the
game, so that when the term OF incar-
ceration had expired the game was so
interesting that 1t was generally adopt
ed by all the inmates Of the monastery
as a lawful pastime. 1t very soon
spread from town to town and became
popular throughout Italy. and the first
line of the vespers was reduced to the
single word Domino" by which name
the game has ever since been known.
