ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.

If the people wish to send the right
men to the legislature they must at
tend the primaries where the delegates
are selected who will nominate these
men, is bit of good common sense set
out in an able editorial by Avery c.
Moore in the Weiser World. The pub
Tic have been told this many times be-
fore, but they will have to be told 1t
many times again. for 1t is by slow de-
grees that great movements are made
The primary is the cornerstone OF
American political liberty but not all
realize this. We are too prone to leave
to others the work of naming men for
office and then complaining because Of
their work after they are elected.
1t is as much a citizens duty to at
tend the primaries as to cast his vote
on election day. We shall have better
government when this principle is more
fully realized.

1t has often been urged that Lew
iston valley Is we'll located for the de-
velopment of a great smelling indus
try, being located at point central to
several Of the great mineral zones OF
the northwest. But the thought has
always been attended by. the idea that
a development of great smelling in
terest meant the sacrifice Of the Or
chards and vineyards and all forms Of
vegetation that has made the valley
famous for it's beauty and for the pro-
duct Of it's soil. But we are now lead
to believe that the ores Of the great
mining regions can be reduced here and
their values saved and a magnificent
industry built up without any Of these
attendant evils. The field opens up a
future rich with possibilities.

People who have been interested in
the daily neurological reports which
were published during the month of
January In the Evening Teller, will re-
gret to learn that the local observer.
Mr.. Dey. jr.. has received word that
owing to a shortage Of funds the de-
partment will discontinue the tele-
graphic service for this point until the
first of June. This will leave Mr.. Dey
no data on which to make other than
directly local forecasts. 1t is unfor-
tunate that this discontinuance of the
service should occur at the time when
fruit men have been accustomed to
watching the reports most carefully
Frosts cannot well be forecasted this
spring but few hours in advance OF
their occurrence.

THE MAN AND THE OPPOR-
TUNlTY.

An English multi millionaire has
found something practical to do with
his money in perfecting IA plan to help
the unemployed of Great Britain He
will at his own expense send 200 faml-
lies to Canada. The emigrants are to
be provided with food, clothes, their
cost of passage, situations on their ar
rival and small sums to guard against
emergencies. The sum advanced must
be repaid In installments.
This forms a practical working ba-
sis for bringing together the man and
the opportunity. The Canadian north
west is great unexpected region, rich
in possibilities. 1t has been for years,
and still is. an inviting field for the
American farmer and the emigration
into Canada Is increasing rather than
diminishing.
The work Of developing the resources
Of western Canada is the work OF the
pioneer. 1t will mean hardship. priva :
ton and toll. 1t is employment Of this
kind that demands English pluck and
English endurance. 1t will be an easy
matter to find families eager to grasp
the opportunity and embark for the
new life under the conditions offered
This is a practical philanthropy that
will appeal to others and offers solu-
ton for the problems of congestion OF
population that give to the government
the menace Of the army of the unem-
plovad Industrial conditions are such
In Great Britain that many will well
come an opportunity to change theii
locations to better their fortunes.

A Buttered Book.

How the Rev. Mr.. Johnston, Scot
fish minister and the author Of numer-
Gus books, succeeded in getting one Of
his works reviewed by Alexander Rus
sci. the distinguished editor of the
Scotsman. is told by the writer of ''Fa-
nous Editors"
A member of Mr.. Johnston's cOngre-
CATION was an old and valued servant
in Mr.. Russel's family. When the
preacher published his new. book he
asked this member to bring it under
the notice of her master, with the re-
quest to review it in the columns Of
the Scotsman. Glad to be Of service
to her master. the good woman lost no
time in making her wish known to the
celebrated editor and next morning
placed 1.-The Gospel Rolf beside his
breakfast cup.
When at breakfast, Mr.. Russell took
up the book and remarked, with a mer-
ry twinkle in his eye. Helen. this IS an
awful dry roll which you have given
me this morning"
Perhaps it is. sir" the servant quick
ly replied, but you can butter 1t weel
on both Sides"
Next morning an excellent review ap-
peared.

The Woes of n Beekeeper,

A German beekeeper undertook to
carry some of his choicest bees to a
bee show. He took train in Hanover
with his bees in basket at his feet.
The bees escaped from the basket and
crawled up his trousers legs. His ac-
tons soon aroused suspicious In the
hearts Of two women who occupied the
same compartment with him. They
pulled the bell cord and stopped the
train. When the bee fancier explained
the situation he was placed in an emp
ty compartment to have 1t out with
the bees all by himself. Here he re-
moved his trousers and began shaking
them out Of the window to free them Of
the swarm. Unfortunately they caught
telegraph pole and were swept away,
bees. money and all. At the next station
the irate station master brought forth
the reluctant bee fancier in a rug and
he pawned his watch to acquire decent
raiment to walk back along the line n
search Of his bees and trousers.

And Why This Freight Difference?
Hood River (Ore.) Newsletter.

Hood River (Ore.) Newsletter.
Last Saturday evening the Hood
River Apple Growers Union shipped to
Franz Kathreiners. Nachfolger. Ham,
burg. Germany, two boxes of apples
upon which the charges We're 1915 di-
'-tded as follows: Hood River to Buff
falo. Sc: Buffalo to New York. s125:
New York to Hamburg. Germany $3.50
This is the second shipment made like
this during the ample season. There is
a problem in freight rates therein for
some philosopher to solve. Why should
y cost almost twice as much to carry
this shipment from Hood River to New
York as II does to carry 1t from New
York to Hamburg? Why should it cost
half as much to carry this shipment
I'll miles from Buffalo to New York
that II does to carry 1t 44O3 miles from
N-ew York tn Hamhurg Germany .
There Is certainly a kinky headed in
dividual in the wood pile Where is
Teddy with the big sticko There
should be an adjustment of rates. OF
course we don't care for the shippers.
they can stand it, but TIE railroads
should whack IN with the ocean steam
ers better than that. What do YOU
think. fellow fruit growers?

The Dance.

In his "Die Anfaenge DER Kunst"
c'The Beginnings Of Art') DIR. E.
Crosse investigates primitive art and
its sociological aspects. He shows how
in the dance there was social evolution.
The dance was among savages sig
n!ficance and value which civilized
races do not appreciate. The dance
originally might not have been for the
pleasure it gave. That came later. At
first the dance may have been one Of
the preparatives for war or propitia-
tory act. Anyhow it brought men to-
gether and became social factor. 1t
must have gone. too. hand in hand, or,
rather, foot by foot. with music. At
first such music was simply rhythmical.
Possibly all the early hunting folks
danced. We may not today deem dane
ing an art. but it was motive power.
1t must have helped TO bring about per-
sonal decoration. and then came the
first faint glimmer Of an aesthetic con-
ceptiOn.

An ordinance passed by the city of
Boise providing for Sunday closing of
saloons and early closing every night
has been declared constitutional by the
supreme court of Idaho. In the city
campaign the ordnance was regarded
as passed for political buncome and it
was predicted 1t would be repealed
after election, but this the council re-
fused to do and the matter was taken
to the courts. The reformers builded
better than they knew. II now remains
to be seen whether the advance ground
taken will be sustained by public opin-
Ion. If so the citizens ot the capital
city are to be congratulated.

A thing that the real estate broker
ought continually to combat in his
advertising is the tendency OF the
average man to believe that the day
for profitable investment has gone by.
Prices TODAY naturally seem high when
one recalls how cheaply the same pro-
nerty sold a generation ago. How
often one hears: "If my father had
bought that property 80 years ago
he'd be a rich man today" And how
seldom the man who makes this state
" ent reflects that 80 years from now
his son will be saying the same OF
him.

FOR THE ADVERTISER.
Facts Count in Advertising.

Cold facts are more convincing than
glttering generalities. Property in
your town has increased In value, of
course. but don't be content to say that
in your advertisement and nothing
more. Be specific. Pick out a piece
of property that everyone Is familiar
with. Find out what it sold for 80
years ago-20 years agO-1O years ago
"a year ago, and print the figures.
The inference may be safely left to the
intelligence Of the reader

ELEVATOR TEST MADE.
Loveman, Joseph & Loeb Install a
 Modern Appliance to Elevator.

A successful test was made of the new ele-
 vator equipment at the dry goods store of
 Loveman, Joseph & Loeb yesterday morn
 ing at 10 o'clock, when fin the present of almost 100 people one of four new pas senger elevators was dropped from the four floor on to the safety air cushion at the bottom of the shaft Each one of the elevator shafts is equipped with one of these chambers and they are the first elevators Tn Birmingham to be equipped with them. These air cushions are brick chambers closed tight on four sides and at the bottom. The top Is open and is a little larger than the floor of the ele- vator car. The sides slope to the bot tom where the opening is just the size of the platform. The rapid compression of the air due to the speed of the running car forms cushion that gradually brings the. car to 8 stop This morning all the extra speed governors and other safety devices, the ropes and counter weights were removed from the one car which was fastened to the top of the shaft by a rope. Then about 1000 pounds of iron, a full glass of water and three eggs were put in the car. At a given signal the rope was cut and the car travelling over thousand feet a minute dropped into the cushion. There was a deafening rush of air and all was quiet. The men got down into the pit and brought up the glass of water without a drop split and the three eggs not even cracked though they had been unprotected next to the iron on the floor. The test was absolute ly successful, showing that Loveman Joseph & Loeb's patrons may ride with out the slightest fear at any time.
 The elevators were installed by the Otis Elevator compnay under the charge of Mir Gabel and MT.

ADJUSTMENTS
"II Trovatore."

Mime. Manteli and her English grand opera compnay gave an excellent per formance at the Jefferson theatre last night of "Il Trovatore." The familiar and popular opera was rendered In capital style-so delightfully."-, in fact, that the absence of a large chorus was not re- gretted and the audience was moved to enthusiastic demonstrations. The house should have eben filled, for Mme. Man tell and her company are grand opera stars who command more than passing attention.
 The four principal roles in Fl Trova- tore" were taken last night by Mime. Mantelli, who was Azucena; Mime. Noldi, who was Leonora James r. Roach. who was Maurice, and Signor Albertl, who was Count de Luna. The women were better than the men, but all proved them selves artists of ability. Mime. Mantelli has rich, well trained voice that is full deep and powerful, and withal flexible and sympthetic. Mme. Noldis soprano voice is fine in quality and is slngularly sweet. Both singers revealed marked histrionic talent Mme Noldi Is a handsome wom- an and as the sweetheart of Maurice she made a pleasing figure in the opera.
 Mr Roach as Maurice has a tenor voice of more strength than sweetness, but as a whole he was satisfactory and won applause for several of his numbers. One or two fine duets were rendered by Nine Noldi and Signor Albertl, the baritone
 From a musical point of view the per formance was most enjoyable and the lib- eral applause bestowed proved that the audience did not lack appreciation.
 Tonight Mime. Mantell and her com
