Flo. 1.

Fold in two, lengthwise, piece of
green paper about four inches wide
and fourteen inches long. Cut this
paper very regularly through the fold
as shown in figure /, making sort of
paper comb.
Then roll the band between the
thumb and finger as in figure until
the cut paper forms a large mass.
When it is as tight as it will go, fasten
together the tube part with a little
paste, and make the paper pun out by
running the finger between each strip
or paper ring. Stick the tube in the
end of a fiat mustard cork in which
a hole has been cut, or you can use a
large spool.
Paint the tube brown for the trunk
of the tree. and if you like, you can
color the cork to make it look like

kane Review says: United States
Senator w. B. Hepburn has been
asked not to further the interests of
B. c. Barbor, of Nez Perez, as re-
cciver of the local land office,
whose nomination he sent to the
senate some days ago, as successor
to c. H. CARLY, resigned, after
eight years of service, to take up
farming. Senator Hepburn has
been communicated with by wire,
and petitions are en- route by mail
to Washington asking that Fred
White of this city receive the APP
pointment as receiver The claim
is made by the friends of Mr..
White that he was promised the
position some time ago by G. w.
Thompson, president of the Lewis
ton Southeastern Electric company
and member of the Republican CEN
trail committee. Mr.. White is
member of the fruit firm of White
Bros. & Crum. The latter is a for
mer state senator and a personal
friend of Senator Hepburn. 1t is
said that during the progress of the
city election in November, while
Mr.. White was out of the country
in the interests of his firm, that

the local campaign as against the
Lewiston national bank crowd, the
latter working hard for Borah

United States senator later acting
as their chief counsel during the
progress of the land fraud trials

return home and assist in carry
ing the first ward in this city for
the Thompson wing of the repub-
lican party. Mr.. White did not
return to Lewiston and the ward
went for Borah on the legislative
ticket, Thompson being turned
down. The friends of Mr.. White
say that he did not receive the tele-
gram sent him by Thompson. Be
that as it may, Senator Hepburn
has recommended Barbor for the
position of receiver of the land
office.

Maverick is in receipt OF a letter
from Senator Hepburn, dated at
Washington, December 10, in
which he says: ''My attention has

rendered my position or have

nation to undo the present forestry

braced in the forest reservations to

man does not devote his entire life

If the will which his son has
offered for probate is genuine, in
which former Senator Brown, of
Utah, repudiates his illegitimate
children by the Bradley woman,
expressing a doubt as to whether
or not they are his, vindictively
withholding from them any portion
of his large estate; then he is one
of the most contemplate men who
ever lived and died dishonored, as
he did and should have died. He
was evidently endowed with that
indefinable something which rem
ders few men what, in the COM
mon vernacular, is called women
tanners. - He used this power to
fascinate and ensave women, indis-
criminately, heartlessly, running
the lives of three or four that the
public knows about. He was en-
tirely characterless and ''got what
was coming to him." only it came
twenty or thirty years too late for
the good of all concerned, and the
purposes of Justice. And, then,
that Adams female; she too is
evidently a few shades off on
moral coloring She has used this
tragedy, the anguish of a broken
hearted woman, to give herself a
modicum of cheap advertising, to
promote her long, waning theatrical
career. It's all a dirty, disgraceful
mess, generally humiliating, be-
cause such degenerates have occu-
pied positions of such prominence
and reputed honor in an American
community.

not shown themselves to be dema-

by their Incorporate speech and the
ridiculous ideas advanced. Men Of
intelligence will not align them
selves with either of the radical
parties, the constitution ignoring

will take a sane, sensible stand on
this question, so that good citizens

IDAHO MINING MAN
AFRAID OF LEGISLATURE

DR.. S. Peacock, one of the big
operators in the Snake river coun-
try, while discussing the road sit
uation declared that Idaho was
simply driving any benefits from
the copper deposits into Oregon,
and that the building of the Snake
river road, which he believes to be
an assured fact, will turn a great
volume of copper ores in this direc-
ton.
1--WE are having an open winter
in Idaho, said DIR. Peacock,
(which means that the roads are
simply impossible. With two good
horses and light buggy it took me
nine hours to drive 10 miles, the rig
went to the hubs in mud all the
way, condition that simply pre-
cludes all freighting. Hence l have
had to abandon all development on
my property, the Railroad mine.
Washington county will not do
anything for roads. Road tax in
ldahO is S4.OO. In oregon 1t is
$500 but they have roads in this
state and nothing there. The re-
suit is that we are simply driven in
this direction, and the development
of that country will acrue its bene-
fits to Oregon in spite of the fact
that our mines lie in the other
state.
II do not believe l will be able
to do much until we get the Snake
river road in. l am sure it will
be a go, because the Ok Bow peo-
pie would never have made their
big investment if the railroad were
not an assured fact. 1t Will take
about two years for the road to
reach Iron Dyke as figure it.
THE road might have been built
on the Idaho side, which is in many
physical ways better for a railroad,
than the Oregon side, but the build
ers have been driven into this state,
by the fear of hold-up in the Idaho
political camps. Politically they

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

There is little doubt but what
the big system" is preparing to
make raid on the national treas
ury through the proposed ship sub
sidy measure. AS a general prop
osition Maverick would classify
President Compers, of the American
Federation of Labor, as a chronic
false alarm, but in this matter he
seems to be making accurate state
ments; for corroborative evidence
is rapidly accommodating. Almost
coinCident with the announcement
that President Roosevelt is prepar-
ing special message to congress in
advocacy of the ship subsidy bill,
comes the charge from Gompers
that the promoters of ship subsidy
legislation form a corrupt gang'
deception and bribery. In making
this declaration in the current
issue of the Amer lean Federation
list, President Gompers presents
documents from E. T. Flynn, gem
eral organizer of Cleveland, Ohio,
to prove that a man from the Rock

it was true that this letter and petit
lions favoring the Legislation were
recently presented to the house of
representative by Speaker Cannon,
much to the open amusement of the
members, who know of labor oppo-
sition to the subsidy bill. He
charges that the letterhead on
which the appeal was printed is a

tary forged and the subject matter
of the letter never authorized by
the organization.

Mr.. Gompers, there is not a

TO conduct news bureaus, so that
every iugenius argument which can
be invented may reach the public to
create a public sentiment in favor
of the scheme; to its ubiquitous
features, iniquitous net only as to
the subsidy itself, but also to hide
the efforts to establish by false pre-
tense the American proposition
