Something seems to guide me, as on

that the brotherhood of man runs

rode nights over the desert even
without a moon, and they killed sheep
and we ate all day.
I am anxious 10 get out of this old

Government Takes the Dreige Boat
Wallowa to Lewiston.

The government dredge, Wallowa,
with Captain Winslow in charge, is
anchored above the ferry landing on
the Lewiston side of Snake river, says
the Lewiston Tribune. The boat is
anchored quite ways out in the
stream and communication with the
shore is had by a small boat. The
Wallowa had some difficulty in rum
ming the rapids between the turn and
Lewiston and greater part of Sat-

the boat over them.
The Wallowa has just come from a
successful season of dredging opera
tions on the lower Snake, cleaning out
the channel and removing dangerous
boulders in the course of navigation.
She will remain here until a sufficient
stage of water to continue operations.

md. TER

Automobilists in Europe are jubi-
liant Heretofore they have been
barred from the glorious Alpine passes
between Switzerland and Italy, but
now the canton OF Valais has granted
permission TO take automobiles over
the Simplon road. thus suggesting a
new use for the passes that have be-
come comparatively unfrequented
since the mountains we're tunneled
for railways. To be sure. it is only
on certain days in the week that the
road is to be open for motor cars. and
they must leave Brigue before three
o'clock in the afternoon, and must
stop whenever there is danger Of
stampeding cattle; but the wedge has
entered, and there is reason TO be.
lieve that the other cantons will soon
follow the example of Valais. The
opening Of the Brunig pass. which
connects Lucerne with Interlaken.
will probably not be long delayed.
While there is thus a growing toll
erance OF automobiles, there seems to
be considerable opposition TO the
multiplication of mountain railways,
especially in the Engadine. where both
the Piz Langnard and the Piz Julier
projects have been voted down. The
Engadiners have also made up their
minds to vescue their scenery from
the ravages OF advertisers; the hotel
keepers have resolved 10 boycott all
firms that mar 1t with their placards.
The chief problem now confronting
these hotel keepers Is how to per
suade tourists that June and Septem-
ber are the most enjoyable months In
the Alps. Inasmuch as they daily
have to turn away applicants for
rooms in July and August their mo
tiyes In giving such advice are apt 10
be questioned. They might cite Rus
kin. says the New York Post who
used 20 chide his countrymen for Wis
itisls Switzerland in midsummer In
stead of in May and June; but this
argument is apt to be spoiled by the
weather. The season was so late this
year that the Furka pass could not
be opened to traffic before June .. or
the Grimsel pass till June is. and the
first diligence over the Grimsel passed
between walls Of snow eight yards
high!

statements

President Madison. The fact is. its
first occupant was President Adams.
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1882. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred 10 was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House 10 make it beautifully
white
/ noticed this especially because I
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
IL so happened also that / knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House. because had just read book
let published by firm Of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but 'the
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.

to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even If it is only date
