BISHOP POTTER HAS
TO SAY OF WOMEN

The Rt. Rev. Henry c. Potter, bishop OF
New York, is writing for Harper's Ba-
gar a remarkable series OF papers on wo-
men--their recreations, their progress, and
the rest. Concerning the progress or wo-
men. Bishop Potter says this in the tep-
ruary Bazar, just published:
'In a word. no more tremendous chahge
has come to pass in the last half-century
than that which has occurred In the realm
OF woman. That change has not, or
course. been so great In western as IN
Eastern lands; for, in the former, those
great ideas which had been at work. as
IN England. from the times or King Jonn
and the barons, have produced their ap-
propriate results in the emancipation not
alone of men. but also OF women. But
whether In Europe or America, two FORCES
have been at work in connection with the
status of women. one OF them progressive,
and the other oonservative-one or them
demanding for both sexes equal rights
and privileges, and the other appealing
to the Bible for the Scriptural warrant
for regarding woman as an inferior and
for keeping her In bondage. A Chinaman,
when demonstrated with for holding the
women OF his house fast found 20 the an
cient custom OF deformed feet. replied,
My wife can't walk, and so she stay at
home: and even an Apostle, in reciting.
as becoming in woman, graces which he
accounted ss pre,emlnently, praise,
value the words keepers at home
"In other words. it In undeniable that
half a century ago the ideal or woman
was domesticity, and the virtues whlch
find their fttest sphere In the retirement
OF the home wer accounted OF pre-
eminent value. But all this Is changed,
aud IL caa never be forgotten (and pray
Heaven that IL never may bed thai such
services as Dorothea Dix and Florence
Nightingale and Sister Dora and their
kind have illustrated were not rendered
by staying at home"

manager of the amateur troupe, has
been hard at work securing new
features for Monday evening. and al
ready several good numbers have been
accepted. They will be used in the
place of some things presented last
night.
Among the new numbers will be a
drill by the crack degree team Of the
local camp of Woodmen. The team
is now fully uniformed and equipped
for a good public appearance and the
feature should be a good one. The
number will be a spectacular one and

bers of the order of Woodmen.

that will simply take the roof off the

bility be much improved through the
arrival of their delayed wardrobe.
AS is generally known an important
portion of the troupe's costumes did

night, owing to the railroad blockade.
1t is confidently believed the missing
headgear will be here in time for the
performance Monday. in which case

srooK FEEp eRow1Na SCARCE.
Some Interior Districts on the Verge
OF Great Suffering,


That the heavy snow and stormy
weather Of the past few weeks has
cut down the stock of hay in the
stock counties of the interior to a dan
gerous limit is declared by w. H. Gar
rett, the we'll known travelling man,
now here.
During the worst of the weather
Mr.. Garrett was engaged upon the
interior trip and came here direct
from the Prineville country. He says
that the Crook county stockmen have
been forced to feed for weeks and in
many cases there is now only enough
hay left to last for few weeks. At
the Hay Creek ranch of the Baldwin
Sheep & Land company on January
25 the hay remaining was in the pro-
portion of 25 tons to 1000 sheen.
In view of the feed shortage a long
winter would undoubtedly work great
hardship upon the interior stockmen,
and there is danger that many OF
them will run out of hay, for often it
is necessary to feed in March and
April.
However, Mr.. Garrett says that
where the snow had been melted by
the chinook the grass was found to be
well started and so with the snow
gone there will be plenty of feed for
the stock. Also, he says there has
been much rejoicing over the snow
by those who use the mountains for
summer ranges. AS a result of the
snow there will be an abundance OF
, water in the mountain streams and
the grass should be good.
A few days ago the snow was six
feet deep at the summit of the ochi-
Goes, between Prineville and Mitchell.

Arrangements are now being made
for the formation OF credit associa-
ton from among the business men of
the city, and already nearly 80 repre-
sentative houses have signed an agree
ment TO join such an organization. c.
L. Roosevelt, proprietor of the Bos-
ton store, is one of the prime movers
in the association, and regarding the
same he said:
THE purpose is to form a credit
association that will protect the mer-
chants of the city against bad ac-
counts and to provide for the collec-
ton of said accounts where they ex-
ist. Already many of the business
men have been seen, and the remain
der will be approached upon the sub
ject shortly.
"As soon as a sufficient number
have agreed to go into the organiZa-
tion We will hold a meeting, adopt
bylaws, choose officers and other
wise perfect organization. The asso-
citation will then select some lawyer
TO act as manager of the association
and upon him will develop the re-
sponsibility of collecting accounts
turned over to him by the association.
1t is the intention to charge each
member of the association s5 a month
for dues
According to Mr.. Roosevelt a credit
association is badly needed by the
business men, as at present nothing
of that kind exists at all here except
ing that the hardware men have an
arrangement whereby they protect
themselves against bad customers. It
is said that feature has worked very
successfully with the hardware and
implement men and that it will be
equally beneficial among those in
other lines.
