EPIGRAMS.

From SUNDAY Sermon byRev. II. Preston
The mighty achievements a'ong
material lines are but bubbles float
ing on the surface of the stream. They
do not sway the hearts of men nor
touch the deep things of life.
What does my nation think of God?
That is far more important than in
what kind of a house does 10 live, or
with what sort of a lamp does it light
its streets.
1t is the conception of God which
cleanses the springs of feeling, and
furnishes fresh motives and carves
out new ideals, and creates the stores
of knowledge by means of which hui
mainly achieves its destiny.
The world is discharging its old
conception of diety, and is working
itself ito a newer and larger idea. AS
the writer's put it we are in a transi-
ton age, and all transition ages are
filled with perplexities and confusions
If we are to come to Jesus for our
conception of the diety, we are to
think of God first of all as present in
his world.
Our nature is what it is because
Gods nature is what it is. We are
made in the image of God. There is
nothing to interfere with God mani
testing Himself in humanity.
Read history in the light of this
conception, and every page glows
with the will of the Almighty. Read
nature in the light of this conception
and the whole universe becoms a burn
ing bush and any place on which we
stand is holy. Let us read u own
life in this light and our body becomes
the temple of the Eternal God.

NEW COUNTY OF BONNER.
Idaho's New County VIII BE One of
Richest I'm the State,

The creation of the new county of
Ronner from the northern part of
Kootenai county, which has been pro-
vided for oy Fl. p. No. 43. by Taylor,
which has passed both branches Of
the legislature and now awaits the
signature of the governor, will add
another prosperous and promising
county to the state, says the Boise
Statesman.
The new county will be bounded by
Washington on the west, Canada on
the north Montana on the east and
Shoshone county and line which is
almost continuous with the township
line between Townships So and 81
north, on the south. 1t will comprise
section OF country over 10000
square miles in area and will include
some of the finest timber lands in the
state. The natural scenery of the
greater part OF the county It is said,
is magnificent, especially in the vi
cinity of Lake Pend d'Oreille, which
Is expected to become within few
SEASONS famous watering place.

song he sings. Col. w. F. Butcher
represents the defendants and thus
far has fought the matter in the fed
eral court on a contention that 1t
lacked jurisdiction.
In Baker the assertion is freely
made that Schultz and Miller of San
Francisco, are in collusion to gain con-
troll, force bankruptcy and get the
property. Diehl has offered these dis
satisfied stockholders what appears to
be an advantageous opportunity to go
in with them and put the mine out of
debt and then in operation. He has
shown them that he can command
the capital to do this, bur they have
said nay to all overtures and, through
Bailey, have apparently decided to
litigate at every step.
BY the terms of Diehrs offer old
man Knapp was to be considered.
Should schultz and Miller carry their
point he would hardly get anything.
All Of which indicates that 'O7 work
at the Highland will be reduced to a
minimum, as the lawyers will be too
busy.

JAMAICA'S DISASTER.
For 400 Years the Island Has Been a
Storm Center.

The Island of jamaica, discovered
in 1494 by Columbus and settled in
1909 under his son, Diego. has been
British possession ever since 1855.
Since then 1t has suffered several
disasters, involving the whole or
parts of the island. In 1892 there
were disastrous earthquakes, and 1t
is a curious fact that the city of
Kingston was founded by the surviv-
ors of that earth's trembling, which
destroyed the opulent town OF Port
Royal.
Nearly 5000 houses in Port Royal
were destroyed at that time, only
few and one of the forts remaining
uninjured. The whole island felt that
shock. Chains of hills were riven,
new channels formed for the rivers,
whole sections sank into the earth
plantations were uprooted and all the
sugra works destroyed. In fact. the
whole outline of the country sur
rounding Port Royal was drawn
afresh, and the elevation of the sur
face was considerably diminished.
| In 1882 a severe conflagaration Wis
tied Kingston, destroying property to
the value of s2,50O,O 900 and in 1913
another fire caused SIS, 100000 dam
age.
In 1880 a hurricane swept Kingston
and a great fire destroyed a portion
of the city in 1882.
There were two earthquake shocks
at Kingston, each consisting of a
large number of tremors lasting seven
or eight seconds on December Z.
1880. The shocks were felt through
out the island.
A hurricane visited Jamaica In
1915. The whole island was deluged,
hundreds of houses were washed
away, vessels were wrecked and
about 1000 persons were drowned.
In August. 1908, Kingston and the
rest of Jamaica were swept by a .hur-
ricane which almost totally destroyed
Port Antonio and inflicted damages in
various parts of the island amounting
to about $1O,OOO,OO0. Thousands OF
houses in Kingston were damaged
the wharves were battered and several
coasting vessels were sunk
On November 13 last an exceeding
ly sharp eart1ouaka was felt in the
south and the nor,h Of the island OF
Jamaica at II o'clock at night. II
was followed Immediately by n sec
ond shock which was the heaviest
experienced in Jamaica in many
years
The only volcanic formation in the
island is that at Lowlayton and Re-
treat estates, In the parish of Port
land, a mile from the sea, in the
county of Surry. in which Kingston
Is situated. There Is, however. no de-
fined crater, and the volcanic ma
terials are the only evidences re-
naming. The coast formation OF
Surry county is of white and yellow
limestone, and the greater part of the
county Is very mountainous.

HORDE OF "CRooKs' COMING.
Spokane Will Drive Out All Undesira-
ble Characters

Walla Walla's police department be-
heves the order of Chief Waller of
Spokane, requiring the toughs to va
cate the Falls city, will fill up this
city with undesirable characters, says
the Walla Walla Statesman.
For the past several months Spo-
kane has suffered from holdups and
burglaries and the police are determ-
ined to clean the city. When a moral
wave strikes Spokane. many of the
holdup artists depart for other cities.
Generally, Walla Walla is more free
from the undesirable class than other
cities. BY reason of the penitentiary
being located here, criminals general
ly give the town a wide berth. The
police are making preparations to
meet all the undesirable and they will
not be permitted to stay.

against the man was that of vagran-
cy. At first Kerr made a plea of not
guilty but afterward changed the
same to guilty. He was then sem
fenced to 20 days in the city jail by
Judge Fitz Gerald. Owing to the fact
that Raycraft was intoxicated at the
time, he was sent back to the city Jail
to sober up, his trial being set for 3
o'clock this afternoon.
When the two women were arraign-
ed Josie Lamont pleaded guilty to
conducting a bawdy house, but de-
nial of the same charge was made by
the other woman. Her case was then
set for hearing at o'clock, and the
judge announced that sentence would
be passed on the other woman at that
time.
The cases of Kerr and Raycraft
have since been laid before District
Attorney Phelps, and it is understood
he will be asked to prosecute the two
men under the state law which makes
1t a felony for man to live off the
earnings of a fallen woman,
Raycraft Found Guilty.
In the police court this afternoon
Raycraft, who in company with Kerr,
was arrested on the row by the police
last night, was placed on trial and
found guilty. He was then sentenced
to serve 20 days in the city Jail The
two women who were arrested in con-
nection with the case are being held
to testify at an investigation to be held
by the district attorney and in the
meantime their sentences have been
suspended. 4
