AGAINST THE OATH Judge
Paul Albers Of Brcsalu, Germany, has
published an article on the subject Of
"The Oath" In which ho takes u
strong stand against the prevailing
custom Of administering an onth to
persons who are called upon to testify
In courts Of justice. The writer tells
of tho changes which have been
made In the manner Of taking the
oath aud how. in order to make the
ceremony impressive, various methods
Ind to be employed for Catholics,
Pro,cstnnts and Jews. All this, he
contends. has no effect becaus, the
good man tolls the truth and the
bad man tolls what lie liLos, oath
or no oath.

LONDON PAPERS WORRY
OVER SHOWING AT BOISE

London, July 80 - Commenting
upon the result of the trial of Will
liam d. Haywood at Boise, the
Chronicle last night said
1.-THE state of society revealed by
the trial is more terrible than any
civil war, because it is more treach-
erous and is likely to be more lasting
From beginning to end it reveals n
condition of brutal rapacity, CON
fronted with savage, despairing vio-
lence, condition that gives Amer
ica's boasted civilization very
dubious look. "
The News Says;
From the outset the question has
been complicated by the fierce pIeju-
dices of kind of smoldering class
war. The whole movement both in
the revelations of the trial and its
accompaniments in public excitement
has illustrated the insecurity of
authority in America and the pro-
found skepticism concerning the iden-
tity of law and justice. -
Both articles refer to President
Roosevelt's undesirable citizen"
statement. The News calls it one of
his fre qucnt public indiscretions, and
the Chronicle predicts that it will
cost him dear.

Cotton In India.

The manufacture of cotton in In
dia dates back to its earliest history
There are illusions to it connected
with India in the Bible. In old Sans
krit records mention is made of its
being used in India nearly 5000 years
ago. At the time OF Alexander's in
yasion of India the dress OF the Hin
docs was described rs consisting
largely of c~alicoes, pure white q
having figures. Among the imports II

First Notice Of Cotton.

Perhaps the earliest notice OF cot
ton is by Herodotus, about $50 b
c.. who speaks of the trees of India
bearing as their fruit fieeces more
delicate and beautiful than those Of
sheep, and of the Indians using them
for the manufacture of cloth. From
India cotton was gradually introduced
into Greece, Rome and Sicily before
the Christian era. Cotton AWNINGS
were used in the theatre at the Apol
linarian games. and Cesar sfterward
covered the Roman Forum with them,
as also the sacred way from his wv
house to the Capitolian hill, which Is
said to have appeared more wonder
full than the g~ladiatorial exhibition
itself.-Consular Reports.

BIC CLEANUP
 LAST WEEK

F. M. Smith and J. A. Fisher, who came in from Thanksgiving yesterday, said Chute and Manley had very fine cleanup on Thanksgiving creek the last of last week.
 Ten men had shoveled in ten days and two goldpans full of gold was taken out. It was also estimated that 5000 or $4 900 had not been taken out of the boxes. The gold had not been weighed, and guesses ran from s2s,0 900 to $34 900 on the two pans and what remained in the boxes, combined.
 They said Frank Stevens and George Shirley had taken out over 5000 on No. l Glen up to ten days ago. That claim was reputed to have been worked out.
 It has been rainy summer across the divide.

of American history. The story of Alas ka is already replete with keen and thrilling paragraphs and episodes. Any brief reference to that story means, of necessity, the omission of much that is valuable and important.
 Alaska is unique. It is land of ex- tremes and paradoxes. Here we find the long and somewhat dreary Arctic night-and the midnight sun; the state ly glacier-and wilderness of flowers; from 60 to 70 degrees below zero and from 90 to 100 degrees above zero in the same locality within half year; bleak and inhospitable regions yielding mill ions in precious gold; furious blizzards that rage amid the snowbound businesses of the mountains while the gentle breath of summer sways a sea of ferns, wakens the violet and the rose and kisses the blushing cheek of generous fruitage.
 In the spring of 1898 when that mem- orable stampede to the Yukon was ap- preaching the zenith of it's interest and excitement, the declaration of war with Spain diverted public attention to more ponderous and stirring subjects, and that plodding march of those pilgrims to the klondike was almost forgotten in the call to arms and the din of battle. Again, two years later, in the spring of 1900, when the rush to Cape Nome was at its height and thousands of eager ad venturers had set their faces toward the north coast of Bering sea, the allied ar mics were marching towards the sacred city of China, and the attention and in terest of the nation was centered there.
 Nevertheless, Alaska has held her own fairly we'll in the midst of the ad- vancing columns of the worlds prog ress. She has furnished a wealth of the choicest furs; her enormous fisheries will continue prolific for years and de- cades yet to come, and, although her output of that royal metal-the glitter ing gold-is already being estimated an- nually by millions, her mining indus tries are but in their infancy.
 There are many striking facts in con nection with the geography of Alaska. A considerable portion of the territory lies within the Arctic circle. One may stand upon Alaskan soil at q greater distance west from Seattle than Boston is east from that city. American terri tory has for forty years stretched away to the westward nearly as far as the Philippines. X line let fall due south from Unalaska would pass a point west oi the Hawaiian islands, and similar line projected southward from the island of Attu would pass point about half way between Honolulu and Manila. ]

At Fairbanks on the Fourth of July He Was

John P. Cum, orator of the day at Fairbanks on the Fourth of July, elo- quently reviewed at length the inspiring history of the United States and con cluded with patriotic allusions to Alaska as follows:
 But there is another and more recent event in American history which holds the deepest interest for this assemblage and which involves opportunities and ambitions and possibilities and responsi- bilities of an immediate and personal nature. refer to the purchase by the United States, in 1867, of this magnifi- cent empire of the far northwest, Alaska. Forty years ago Alaska was a name to provoke ridicule ill the deliberations of the national congress. Today Alaska is a name of magic interest wherever it is spoken. Only four brief decades have elapsed since able and earnest and hon. est American statesmen opposed the acquisition of Alaska because of its re- mote and inaccessible location. They pictured it as rugged, barren and in- hospitable region; the home of the Es- kimo and the polar bear, of the glacier and the aurora-and they indulged in other and even more uncomplimentary statements. Today able and earnest and honest American statesmen delight to tell of this wonderful American north land; of its vast area, its varied and in- exhaustible resources, its marvellous de- velopment and its splendid possibilities.
 Alaska is, indeed, a rugged country, and it required such rugged statesmen as Seward and Sumner to achieve sue cess in the initial struggle for conquest the purchase. Then followed the army of invasionl land of actual conquest. Rug tiersmen, fit to overcome the most for midable of obstacles and to compel success in the midst of the most difficult and unfriendly conditions.

All honor to the daring argonauts of our northland territory. They have blazed the way along the bleak coasts and into the dreary interior. They have struggled in the midst of privation, disappointment, danger and death. Out of this seething crueible of human toll and woe the coveted gold will eome--but only in limited degree will it be the portion of those who have borne the heat and burden of the day.

BOISE, Idaho, Dec 13.-Clarence Dar-
row, the Chicago attorney who is con-
Quoting the fefense of George A. Petit
bone, had Harry Orchard, the states
chief witness, on the rack for two hours
and a half today, endeavoring to dis
credit his testimony. The cross-exam-
ination was rigid and effective in that
the witness was pictured as an inhuman
monster, a murderer, bigamist, perjurer,
gambler, thief and incendiary.
Profiting by the failure of Attorney
Richardson in the Haywood trial to
shake the testimony of Orchard. Darrow
made little attempt to make the witness
contradict himself
Twice onl.' during the day did he try
to confuse Orchard in regard to his tes-
timony, and each time he failed. Read
ing from the testimony of the Haywood
trial. Darrow endeavored to make it ap-
pear the witness had changed his state
ments, but Orchard forced, his questioner
to read mor1 of his testimony given be-
fore, showing his testimony had been the
same at botn trials.
rDarrow laid particular emphasis on the
fact that Orchard was criminal before
he became acquainted with Haywood,
Meyer and Pettibone.
After his examination on each of Orch
ards crimes before his trip to Denver in
December, 1903, Darrow asked:
''Did you know Meyer, Haywood and
Petitioner" and each time the witness
answered mo-
Darrow announced he would conclude
his ss-examination tomorrow and Mr..
Hawley stated to the court that the state
would finish its case by next Thursday
witnesses fer the defense were therefore
subpoenaed to appear Friday of next
week.
