A CITY OF

That is the Story of the Year
Briefly Told

Occur d'Alene's business district
! being built up of substantial brick
fractures, the most notable Of which
Eere erected this year being the adj
sition to the Iadho Mercantile com
hany block fronting on Sherman
|treet; the Otterson block Of two
tories and fifty feet frontage on
herman street; the Dittemore block
ronting fifty feet on Siberian; the
thomson Klappenberg block, with
twenty-five feet frontage on Sher-
nan; the Steele and Wright block, a
wo story brick on Sherman and the
sddition to the Wiggett block and
he Chamberlin block on Fourth
reet are among those constructed or
nder course of erection. There are
number of other brick blocks and
ubstantial business places which fur
ish homes for our business men.
b addition to these might be mem
Toned the many improvements,
mong them the remodeling of the
rick blocks owned by William Dol
ar on Sherman street and the insti-
ution Of plate glass fronts for the
Id style.
In these business places are housed
pine of the largest stocks to be found
b the state. The stores are those of
city and the lines carried are most
Dmplete. The business men are en-
erprising, courteous and modern in
heir methods of dealing with the
ublic, a fact that is amply demon
rated by the ADVERTISING columns of
bis issue.
The window displays of the mer-
bants at this time are most attrac-

ration which is credit to the city.
The banks have enjoyed the pros

ave more than doubled, reaching at

COPEMAN AN INVENTOR

L. g. Copeman, of the Consumers
Company, has received patent papers
on an electric thermostatic heating
regulator, ON which the patent has
been pending since August, 1905. A

Electrical Heater company, of De-

The device is an ingenious one and

CLAIM RAILWAY
HAS NO RIGHTS
Condemnation Case Is Dismissed
By the Court

Yesterday in the district court,
Judge Morgan dismissed the case of
the Idaho Norwestern Railway com
pany versus Lewis L. Steregere. This
case resulted from the fact that the
Idaho Northwestern Railway COM
pany constructed road through Mica
Bay district crossing the land of Ster-
egere and brought suit to condemn
the same, placing an amount of mon
ey in the hands Of the court equal to
the value placed on the land by the
appraisers. Steregere appealed the
case from the decision of the apprais-
ers and later sold the land. In his
appeal, Steregere, claimed the pro-
ceeds from the requisite amount Of
stock, according to the laws of the
state Of Idaho, had not been paid in
to the tresaurery OF the railway COM
pany and that is was not legally in
corporated. 1t developed that the B.
R. Lewis Lumber company had sub
scribed to a large block of this stock
and the appellant claimed that under
the laws of Idaho one incorporated
company was not permitted to hold
stock in any other corporation and
that the whole matter was illegal.
The plaintiffs claim that the incor-
poration of the B. r. Lewis Lumber
company is valid, being organized
under the laws of Washington and
that these laws allowed the company
to buy, sell or hold stock in any cor
poration in any state or territory.
The case may be appealed to
the supreme court Of the state.
1t is generally considered that this
action by the court seriously affects
the railway company inasmucb as
other cases of similar nature will
follow, on the ground that the rail-
road has no right to occupy the
ground a. a right to way. Those In
terested in the railway and lumber
company state that the action Of the
court will in no measure effect the
railroad.

Value of Manual Training.

The School Board j ournal says of in
struction in manual training in public
schools: .zs. .ss. *.ss@s 4
"The value of manual training as an
educational factor is no longer mat
ter of dispute. The attention given
to it by educators has ensured for it
fixed place in modern educational
effort and life.' 49,. ....s.s .-,ss.s:sa -,
"A readiness to do things and to do
them we'll depends upon the trained
hand as we'll as upon the trained mind.
Most children will master a subject
best through the aid of the eye, the
ear and the hand combined. There
fore the development of these three
faculties insures we'll rounded educa-
tion."
manual training is in many in
stances forced beyond it's legirimat Q
place in the public curriculum. The
average manual training school is look
ed upon as an apprentice shop where
young mechanics are trained at public
expense. What is required however, is
the correct application of manual train
ing as a regular part of the courses of
study. Manual training is a regular
part OF course of study, just as pen
manship, reading and arithmetic. It is
not devised to make mechanics, any
more than it is to make lawyers or
physicians. The mission of the public
schools is not to serve as a workshop
for apprentices to the various artisans
trades. The knowledge and the ability
OF doing things are of value to the one
as to the other. The boy who intends
to take up one of the professions, will
be more benefited by manual training
than the boy who intends to become a
mechanic. Specialization should be
avoided"
"Manual training possesses splendid
disciplinary qualities. 1t tends to cul-
tivate habits for accuracy, neatness,
economy and industry. 1t widens the
interest IN labor and its products and
awakens higher regard for the man
of toll. It should not be confined to
one sex. The girl can partake of the
benefits. Cooking and sewing should
not be regarded as special study de-
signed to meet special class"
'The boy finds it frequently hard to
choose career since there has been no
incentive towards developing natural
ability or tendencies. School boards
who haye not as yet introduced manual
training will do we'll to give the subject
the attention it deserves. The quality
of the citizenship of the future depends
upon the quality of educational facili-
ties of today. No system of common
school education is modern or progress
sive unless it includes manual training.'

The Passing of the Buffalo.

The Buffalo as wild animal is gone.
The great herds will never again be
seen roaming the plains.
Who is there of the present genera
tion that does feel profound regret at
the thought and ask himself: "Why
was | born too late? What would l
not give to have seen the Buffalo days
and people in their romantic prime?
All the hungry regret that Sir Walter
Scott felt over the departed glories Of
the feudal life is felt by every boy and
young man of our country now when
he hears of the Buffalo days and the
stirring times of the by-gone widest
West.
Why was it allowed? Why did not
the Government act? And a hundred
sad might have beens" spring forth
from hearts that truly feel they lost a
wonderful something when the butch
ers drawn from the dregs of border
towns were turned loose to wipe out the
great herds that meant so much to all
who love wilds and the primitive in
life.
There is one answer-the extermina-
tion was absolutely inevitable. The
Buffalo ranged the plains that were
needed by the out:crewded human
swarms of Europe; producing Buffalo
was not the best use of those plains;
possessed of vast size and strength, and
of an obstinate, impetuous disposition,
that would stampede in a given line to
the utter destruction of all obstacles or
of himself, the Buffalo was ineempat.
ib!e with any degree of possession by
white men and with the higher:produc-
tivity of the soil. ~ =
He had to 60. He may still exist in
mall herds in our parks and forest re-.
serves. He may even achieve success
as domestic animal, filling the gaps
where the old-time cattle fail. But the
Buffalo Of the wild plains is gone for
ever, and we who see those times in
the glamor Of romance can only say:
It had to be; he served his time and
now his time IS past. !
