We know nothing of want and pinched
conditions as seen in many of the large
world has been brought on by our own
folly, and when the few clouds that now
darken the horizon pass away-as they
surely will in the near future-we will be
better able to grappe with the affairs OF
life than before. Hence we say be thank
full, for we have everything to make us
thankful; be cheerful, for the winter of
our discomfort will be made glorious by
the shifting of the clouds, revealing all
the rays of the bright sunshine.
The order of exercises at the church
will be as follows:

profitable meeting which will result in
much good to each county.
A permanent organization was formed
and the association will meet in Seattle
next year on July 20. At this next
meeting legislative and other com
mittees will report. As the meeting this
year was the initial meeting the session
next year will no doubt show even
greater benefits.
The following were some of the most
important matters discussed, outside of
the many suggestions concerning the
routine work of the offices.

fed into a political, civil and criminal
code and code OF civil and criminal

correspond to the civil cost bills.

the judgment shall be entered upon the
verdict Of jury.

The sisters do the cooking, taking turns

cooks, and from the samples of bread
shown she evidently knew what she was
talking about The sisters raise their

deal OF strenuous work, but the manage
ment is all in the hands OF the sister
superior, and she seems to be equal to
the occasion. She has been here several
years.

TO AID THE UPPER COLUMBIA.
Senator Ankeny to Attend National
Rivers ard Harbors Congress.

The Walla Walla correspondent of the
Seattle Times announces that Senator
Ankeny will leave for the national cap
ital in time to attend the National
Rivers and HarbOrs Congress, which will
meet early next month. At the conven-
tion year ago Senator Ankeny repre-
sented this state on the committee on
credentials. Senator Ankeny recognizes
the Importance OF the congress, and he
plans to present the needs of his state,
particularly of the upper Columbia, in a
manner that will demand recognition.
Early in the session Senator Ankeny
will introduce bill providing for the i'm
provement of the river along the 800
miles between Bridgeport and Kettle
Falls. He has already gone into this
project in detail with Secretary TAFT
Since there will not be rivers and har-
bors bill at this session of congress, the
bill for the Improvement must originate
in the senate.

stays OF execution. ETC., should be ap-
proved by the court and not by the
clerk.
The commissioner of pensions should
furnish the clerks Of the courts with
franked envelopes.
Jurors and witnesses should be paid a
greater per diem and the rate of mileage
should be reduced from 10 cents to 5
cents per mile.
The law should be amended allowing
jurors and witnesses mileage for the
actual number of miles legitimately
Travelled.
All papers filed in the clerks office in
counties OF the first class should be in
duplicate.
Complaints should be filed within 90
days after service.
The section Of the code requiring fee
of 81 for notary certificates should be
repealed.
Besides the above matters many other
questions were thoroughly discussed.
Many clerks we're set right on matters
that they had been carrying out under
an incorrect Interpretation OF the laws
and proper practices. At the meeting
next year all matters to be presented to
the legislature will be submitted by the
legislative committee in the form of
bills. No doubt every county will profit
much from this state organization,
which was organized under the direction
aud at the instance Of the clerk of the
court of Whitman county.

The Indian Village.

Below and fronting the church is the
Indian village OF 40 huts and cottages,
erected by the Indians, where they live
betimes and where they gather every
Sunday to attend church. 1t is a strag-
Cling collection OF houses, with only a
slight ,pretense as regards streets and
alleys. Some of the houses look cozy,
but most of them are makeshifts.
Our visit was on Sunday. At 2 p.
"a. the rich tones of the church bell
sounded, and from the girls school and
the boys school and the Indian village
the faithful wended their way to the con
secrated building and paid their devo
tions. The Indians, male and female
were devout and perfectly familiar with
all the ceremony. Moreover, they were
in their best attire Many of them took
part in the singing. A burial took place
after the ceremony, the Indians going in
body to the cemetery near at hand
one of their number having died.
This being on the reservation the gov
ernment maintains physician here, Dr.
Mosier of Tekoa having the contract to
fulfill this job, going there every Sunday,
and oftener when necessary, He has a

painting that should be seen by all visit

the subject being Mary and the Child
Jesus. This picture was sent from Rome

like the original as to be hard to distn-

sent it to this distant mission in the
wilderness. Time has wrought no
changes in this famous canvas, what.
ever changes may have been made in
other respects.

not all located in the state of Washing

year, and in and around the mission are
located by far the greater number OF
Indians living on the reservation. Here
they have dwelt great many years,
owning fine farms, raising the cereal
crops, herding many horses, cattle and
hogs, and altogether are in easy and
affluent circumstances. Many of them
