StocksIaser Has Made a Mistake.

The Paris Post says: Until the Coeur
d'Alene convention when Judge Stock
slayer accepted the nomination for gov
ernor on the Dubois ticket, we had al
ways considered him a fair-minded
man, but when he accepted the nomi-
nation on a platform of religious perse-
cution and the disfranchisement Of one
fourth Of the citizens of the state ol
Idaho, we are obliged to change our
opinion of the man. No fair minded
man nor no reputable citizen can sub
scribe to such an infamous platform
without losing the respect of all fail
minded people. The judge has made
the mistake of his life and his name
will go down in history as the man who
was willing to sacrifice the citizenship
of $4,000 people for the sake of OBJ
tailing an office.

Thomas Ewes In Trouble.

Brooding over real or imaginary
wrongs until his mind has become un-
balanced Thomas Ewes is now under
arrest in Moscow and will once more
he examined as to his sanity. The
FIRST of the week Mr.. Ewes came to
Trov and made several threats to take
the law into his own hands and protect
himself. He still contends that he is
the rightful owner of the old Ewes farm
near Troy and whenever that subject is
brought up he appears to grow insane
and threatens to take forceable posses
sion. He demanded that the local au-
thorities go out and stop Mr.. Harris, the
nresent tenant from harvesting the crop.
He also went to the roller mills and
tried to take possession Of the grain
that was raised on the farm this year.
It was evident that Mr.. Ewes was in
earnest and fear that he would commit
some rash act prompted the authorities
to take charge of him. The old farm
was sold again recently and this deal
probably reached the ears Of the old
man who came here determined to get
his property at any odds. That the
case is serions no one can doubt and
if permitted to remain at liberty most
awful tragedy may result.

Creamery Is Growing.

The receipts of cream at the local
creamery are increasing rapidly, and
there is every prospect they will double
by spring. w. c. Sohms, president Of
the Pine Creek Dairy of Spokane, who
now has control of the local plant,
spent several days recently in the
country around Troy, worked up a lot
Of new business, and returned to Spo-
kane we'll satisfied with his trip. The
continued low price of cattle has dis
couraged some and retarded the growth
OF the local plant, it being almost i'm
possible to get rid of poor COWS. Mr.
Scilms believes cattle will go up and
if so it would be we'll to simply buy
the needed good COWS, holding the
poor mixers until they can be sold at
profit for beef. Mr.. Sohms spent
three days in this territory and was
thoroughly convinced that this section
possesses natural advantages for dairy
ing.
This week the price for butter fat
reached 80 cents per pound, a price
that is sufficient to create much activ-
ity in the business and with prospects
most excellent for no drop before
spring many farmers will double thei
herds. Cream routes are to be estab
lished in the near future.

The Generosity of Catalogue Houses.

Farm Machinery has made the dis
covery that the large mail order houses
were not listed among the subscribers
to relief funds for the San Francisco
earthquake sufferers. Possibly the
catalogue houses were all large con-
tributors to these funds" it says. If
so, they gave anonymously, for on none
of the subscription lists printed in the
leading St. Louis and Chicago papers
did there appear the names of any of
the men identified with these business
enterprises. They gave neither as in
dividuals nor as corporations, if the
printed records are to be believed.
Therefore it is just and fair to presume
that they gave nothing. NOTHING" :"
This is rather rough on the catalogue
houses. Probably the reason they
failed to respond with financial assistance
was that the committees in sending out
their appeals did not follow Our Mail
ing Instructions on page IT," and al
so overlooked stamps for postage anc
packing" If these important details
had been observed, the mail orde
house would probably have been glaC
to contribute several of our beautiful
ly bound and Autographed catalogues

A Story Heard in Church.

S<ossSA W wow 4OAA H1uu.I
I went to Brooklyn Sunday last,
which is not remarkable in the lives
of some New Workers.. at least, and
while there went to church, which
may be somewhat more unusual.s
heard the minister tell a story of a
happening on the Brooklyn bridge. He
said-it was in illustration of point
he was making that only a few days
before, while crossing the bridge
Brooklynward on a surface car, a box
fell from a loaded wagon on the road
way ahead of the car. The motorman
yelled to the driver, but the driver
could not hear and drove on. .Then the
motorman had a conference with the
conductor, the car was stopped and the
two men went after the box. It was
too heavy for them, and two passen-.
gers took hold. The four men carried
the box to the front platform of the
car, the motorman let her out In chase
Of the wagon from which the box had
dropped, and just, at the end of the
bridge they called halt on the driver
and he stopped. Then the four men
got hold of the box again and carried
it over and loaded it on to the wagon,
the driver meanwhile looking on smil-
ing. So were the four men tugging at
the box, and the minister said it was
one Of the most pleasing instances of
that kindness of humanity for its
kind that he had witnessed in many a
year. And wasn't it, now? Could 1t
have possibly happened anywhere out
side of Brooklyn?

INGENUITY OF A TRAppER.
Discovered Salt Lake and Knew Every
Rocky Mountain Pass,

Jim Bridges stands forth as the most
conspicuous figure in the brief but
glorious reign of the trapper and trail
maker in the far west, says Outing
Magazine. The greatest furhunter and
the greatest pathfinder of them all, and
possessing the most intimate knowl-
edge of the Indian nature ever vouch-
safed white man, Bridger will grow
In stature as time goes on and accu-
rate history is written.
No part of the great Rocky noun
tain country held a secret from Jim
Bridger. He was the first white man,
after John Golfer, to view the wonders
of Yellowstone Park and the first to
look on Great Salt Lake. Seemingly
bearing.a charmed life, he wandered
through the lands of many Indian
tribes, sometimes fighting the red man,
but more often living their life and
finding the solace of true brotherhood
at the lodge fire.
Every mountain Jim Bridger climb
ed, every stream he crossed and every
game trail he followed was written
down in the most marvellous memory
ever granted plainsman. AS result
years later, when the white man, bold
but laundering, sought the easiest
paths over the mountains, Jim Bridger
showed them the best trails for their
wagons, and when the chief engineer
of the Union Pacific had well-nigh Civ
en- up hope OF getting his rails across
the divide it was Jim Bridger who
showed an available pass which he had
traversed years before in his trapping
days and the existence of which no
other white man knew.
A few months ago this Chief engin-
eer, General Granville NJ. Dodge,
showed his gratitude by rescuing Jim
Bridger's body from a neglected grave
and interring it at Kansas City under
an appropriate monument-probably
the first act of gratitude ever perform
ed for the man who had put the whole
empire of the west in his debt.

RED TAPE AND A BICYCLE.
Frenchman's Troubles in Recovering
His Stolen Wheel.

One Tribal, going on journey, left
his bicycle in charge of a wine shop
keeper, from whom it was stolen by
one Bidard. 1.-THE man is caught and
your bike is safe with the police"
Tribal was told when he returned.
He went to the commissary, showing
him the notification sent respecting the
theft by the police to the wine shop
keeper, and claimed his machine. Go
to the lost property Office" said the
official, land you will get your bike
on proof of your identity" Tribal
went thither armed with all the pa
pers he possessed. Good" said the
clerk. Nov go to the police commits
sary of your neighborhood and obtain
certificate of identity from him."
Tribal went thither, and the commits
sary said, Come tomorrow with two
witnesses holding licenses Tribal
did SO and obtained paper certify
ing that for the last five years his
moral behavior had given the police
cause for no complaint. Armed with
this Tribal went back to the lost prop
erty office. Good" said the clerk.
Now write out full report of the
whole matter in this book" Tribal
sat down and wrote a narrative of
300 words. "Now come with me-" said
the clerk, and led him to a room con-
tanning 1000 bicycles stacked in rows.
He discovered his machine after q pro-
longed search and was taking it off
when the clerk stopped him, saying,
THE ticket on this bicycle bears the
name Bidard, and you allege that you
are Tribal"
"Yes," answered Tribal, II am the
owner. Bidard is the thief" In that
case, said the clerk, here is number
which you must take to the prefecture
of police, where you will obtain au-
thority to get the bicycle out of this
office." The next day Tribal went to
the prefecture, where he was called
Bidard. and informed that he would
shortly be indicted before the correc-
tional court NO." said Tribal wear

ais de Justice and claimed his bicycle.
Out of the question:" said the clerk.
THE bicycle is no longer your prop
erty technically, but that of the ex-
aiming magistrate, and will be re-
tanned for production as evidence at
the trial of Bidard. You cannot claim
it before the trial is over unless you
now appoint counsel to prosecute ON

ate the cold. But the theory having
the strongest hold and which is stead
tasty persisted in is that the gulf
stream is changing its course and is
running closer to the shore Of North
America, its warmth being felt all
over the land.
In support of this notion it is held
that the gulf stream washes the
shores Of the British isles and that
without its influence they would be as
cold as Greenland. 1t is true that the
gulf stream flows near the shores of
the British isles, but it does not justi-
fly the assertion, 1t is believed, that the
climate of England, being milder than
that of New York, although at a more
northern latitude, is made SO by tie
waters of the gulf stream.
In fact, the whole theory of the gulf
stream is wrong, some scientists say.
Even If the gulf stream had changed
its course and was flowing closer to
these shores than ever before-which
is not the case-this would not in the
least solve the problem for the prin-
cipal reason that weather conditions
and the prevailing winds travel with
the rotation of the earth from west to
cast.
Any change of temperature due to
that stream, then, would be carried to
the eastward, and it's effect lost over
the United States.
The general theories of climatic
change are thus disposed of, SO that
nothing but the old records are left,
and, while they are interesting, they
are neither complete nor accurate
enough to justify the belief which
seems so general. AS to the records
of the last 30 years, they show fluc-
tuations-that some winters have been
much colder than others and some
summers much hotter than others
but in figuring out the amount of heat
and cold received at east place it is
found that the one just about counter
balances the other.
Thus, while the average of heat and
cold remains practically the same,
certain change of climate is actually
taking place, in that the seasons are
blending one into the other more in
these later years than in the past, so
that 1t is now most difficult to tell
where one leaves off and the other be-
gins, whereas in former years the out
lines of the seasons were far more
sharply defined.
