WOMEN BECOMING
HAB|TUAL DRINKERS
So SAYS New York Manager
Of Restaurant in a Re-
cent Interview.
WINE is A FAVORITE.
TURNS UP NOSE AT
BEER AND CHEAPER BEvERAG-
ES WHICH MALE MEMBERS
CONSUME LARGELY.

New York, Dec. 4.-The manager of
a restaurant in the heart of the shop
ping district was giving the results Of
his observations as to the increased
consumption of liquor by women.
There's no denying that women Go
drink far more than they used to-" he
said Il started in as manager here
eighteen years ago. At that time and
for years afterwards no nice woman
would have thought of coming into
a place like this and ordering a glass
of whiskey for herself
Women with regard for the propri-
eties might order glass of beer or a
mild claret punch or glass of Sau-
terne of or some red wine with their
luncheon, but they wouldn't drink
straight liquor in any form. And even
women of the careless class were re-
garded by us as doing a pretty raw
thing when they ordered cocktail and
we watched them to see that they
didn't attract attention by making any
breaks.
''As a matter of fact, even the nice
women who took any sort of alcoholic
chaser like best or light wine. with
their luncheon used to be looked upon
by the generality of women as-well,
as taking a chance. They were max
ing themselves liable to be talked
about little.
Such a difference now! About ten
years ago | think the change began.
Women would have their cocktail
before taking luncheon. Even that
innovation shocked the more particu-
lar women. Plenty of properish wo-
men remained away from places like
this when they saw that women were
taking cocktails ostensibly as a FLIP
to the appetite for luncheon.
Yes. women drink a great deal
more than they used to. If you knew
how many restaurants there are in
New York that derive their almost ex-
elusive income from the drinking pat
ronage of women you'd be astonished.

Since the Financial Furry in
The East Has Abated,
Many Want Sites.
1T WAS NOT so RECENTLY.
BUT FEW MANUFACTURERS CON.
SIDERED IDEA OF REMOVAL
DURING THE RECENT WALL
STREET EXCITEMENT.

Secretary E. NJ. Haas of the CONNER
cial club, noticed a peculiar manifesto
ton of the recent financial furry in
the East Previous to the financial
trouble of month ago, he received
from six to a dozen letters a day from
various factories, relative to a change
of location and inquiring about the ad-
the furry came so Unexpectedly, these
communications stopped almost alto
gether and for the mast part of last
month Secretary Haas did not receive
more than two such letters on an aver
age each day. Lately, however. this
coincident with the increasing feeling
of confidence in financial and business
circles. This increasing number of
letters from firms inquiring about loca-
tions in Richmond, Mr.. Haas thinks.
shows that the panicky feeling so evil
subsided. and that in it's place business
men and manufacturers realize that
they over-estimated the condition of
affairs and were too pessimistic about
the outcome He says it shows that
while there will probably be more con-
year in business circles, the prosperity
of the country will remain practically
unimpaired.

THE BUILDING WORK
PROGRESSING SLOWLY
Members of Trinity Lutheran
Church Disappointed.
DEDICATION IN THE SPRING

Members of Trinity Lutheran con-
gregation are much disappointed at the
slowness with which work on their
new church building is proceeding.
TIE Rev. Joseph Beck says, that lately
the contractors have been forced to
slow down in their operations owing to
the scarcity of good brick and stone
masons, and the great amount of
building in other parts of the city on
which work can not be neglected. The
church is not yet under roof. 1t was
thought at first that the new structure
could be dedicated the first of the year
but it is now pretty thoroughly under
stood that the dedication will not take
place until some time IN the early
spring.

Big Statesman Said That
Many Senators Are Con-
troIIed by Trusts and Charg-
es May Be Investigated.
CANNON ANNOUNCES
CURRENCY COMMITTEE.
Flood of Bills Expected in Sen
ate Today-Cost of Rum
ming Government in 1908
Will Be S71O,297,626.

Washington, Dec. A reference to
trust-controlled senators, which is con-
tanned in the speech that Secretary
Taft delivered at the opening of the
Philippine assembly, may lead to
demand for an official investigation as
to the motives that prompted the SEN
ate committee On the Philippines in
killing the Philippine tariff bill in the
last congress.
The full text of Secretary Taft's
speech is contained in Philippine
newspapers that have arrived in this
country during the last few days. The
speech, which was delivered to the
assembly on Oct. 16. contains bomb
which is likely to explode at any time
by the introduction of resolution in
the senate calling for an investigation
by that body of a charge that the SEN
ate committee On the Philippines kill
ed the Philippine tariff bill at the
behest of tobacco and sugar interests.
Men Who Arc Accused.
The committee on the Philippines,
which Secretary Taft accused of de-
liverng a crushing blow to the Phil
ippine wards of the Nation at the be-
hest of certain tobacco and sugar in
terests of the United States was
composed during the last session of
the following senator's:
Republicans-Henry Cabot Lodge Of
Massachusetts, Eugene Hale of Maine,
Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, Julius
c. Burrows of Michigan, Chester l.
Long of Kansas. Charles Dick of Ohio.
George S. Nixon of Nevada, Frank B.
Brandegee of Connecticut
Democrats-Charles A. Culberson OF
Texas, Fred 7. Dubois of Idaho, Ed
ward w. Carmack of Tennessee.
James B. McCreary of Kentucky, Will
liam J. Stone of Missouri.
The responsibility of legislation in
committee is supposed to rest upon
the nine republican memberships
tors Lodge, Hale, Beveridge. Burrows.
Long, Dick. Nixon and Brandegee-
and they stand accused by the secre-
tary of war of working in league with
the trusts.
In the senate so far no bills have
been introduced but it was expected
that the flood would break out in that
body today.
Speaker Cannon treated the house
to surprise in announcing the men,
bership of the committee on banking
and currency. This advance forma-
ton of that committee led to the con-
clusion on the part of many that it
was his intention to press financial
legislation on, but those who are close
to the speaker say that his only pur-
pose was to afford a depository for
petitions and letters bearing upon the
currency question.
The membership of the committee
was increased by the addition of one
democrat. making seven members of
that party on it, instead of six as dur
ing the Fifty-ninth congress. This
is in accordance with the request of
Minority Leader Williams, but it is
said that it is not TO be taken as an
indication that this request will be
compiled with on all the other commit
tees.

HOLD YOUR TIMBER
Stumpaee Values are Climbing
and Will Double Many
Times More.

With lumber selling at the present
prices timber ought to be bringing the
handsome sum of ten dollars per thou :
and stumpage, and if those having
timber are wise they will hang to their
holdings. Buyers are now offering
more than SIS per thousand siunpage
On the St. Joe in the vicinity Of
Clarkia, and those in position to know
say that even this price is low. From
the best of authority the News has it
that White Pine, such as we have here
in Latah county, is bringing about S22
per thousand stumpage in Michigan,
where but sixteen years ago the set
tiers were selling at one and two dol
lars per thousand. With the supply
now much diminished why should not
timber bring price far beyond that
now offered? Hold your timber and
you will reap rich reward for your
good sense.

Glad to Get Home.

w. S. Bellomy and family, who have
been visiting relatives in West Virginia,
returned to Troy last Saturday. Mr..
Belongs mother accompanied them;
also two young men, Robt. Buskirk
and Elijah Thompson, who have come
west to grow up with the country.
Mr.. Bellamy was stricken with sciatic
rheumatism shortly after reaching the
East, and for several weeks was laid up
with it, and brought enough of the
stuff home with him to last for some
time to come. He lost about twenty
pounds in weight but hopes to fatten
up and regain his usual good health
with the assistance of Idaho sunshine.
Mr.. Bellomy said he saw nothing in
the East that looked good enough to
to induce him to leave Idaho-the land
OF health, peace and plenty, with a
world of opportunity. The land Of his
boyhood didn't look good to him, and
to his surprise he found the people
farming the mountains to the very tops.
I thought the Palouse and Potlatch
countries were hilly' said Mr.. Bel
lomy, but the land they are working
in Virginia next to the Kentucky line
took my breath. l had to lay on my
back and look straight up till got
dizzy to see the fields at the tops Of
the hills. I don't see how they stick
to the ground" Mr.. Bellomy has
promised to write a letter for Troy
News readers, giving his experiences,
and we trust he will find time to do so
in the near future. This country is
good enough for me-" said Mr.. Bel
lomy as he limped out of the Office
Monday.

A MUCH NEEDED Law
A Heavy Penalty Should Fall Upon
Any Who Would DeSeCrate
Our Memorial Day.

There is one bill defore the legis-
lature that should become law; and
that is in regard to desecrating Me-
moral Day. In 1869, when the order
went forth from national headquarters
for all the members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, to go to the cemetries
of the land on the 31th. day af May,
and strew flowers on the graves of their
departed comrades; it was the begin
ming Of the greatest and most inspiring
custom that has been inaugurated in
modern times. Since that time the
custom has spread among the fraternal
orders Of our nation, and our public
schools and private citizens have all
joined in the throng, that once year
wends its way to the home of the dead,
and there, with a floral offering, say to
the departed, you are gone, but not
forgotten. Is it not degrading to mar
the sacredness of such beautiful Gus
tom, by having the day turned into a
carnival of horse-races, ball games,
dances etc? We hope that every
state in the nation will enact lawg
affixing a heavy penalty upon any who
are disposed to desecrate Memorisl
Day, that the day with its patriotic and
fraternal teachings, may exist and dc
good in generations to come.

WILL 1T MUZZLE PRESS
The Press Surely Needs a Thorough
Round of House Cleaning
the Same as Tin Cans.

There has been a bill introduced in
the legislature, at Olympia, Wash,
that would if passed, eliminate nearly
all sensational matter in any paper or
magazine published or sold within the
state. There has been an editorial
howl raised by the Washington lead
pencil pushers that is distinctly heard
clear over here in Idaho. But, so far
as our observation has gone, not one
of the aforesaid pencil pushers has
admitted that any portion of the general
reading matter, or sure thing quack ad-
vertisements given out to the public,
has demoralizing effect, especially
on the rising generation. 1t seems to
us that the selling Of advertising space
and the patronage of the undercurent
OF humanity had too much to do with
the noise that has reached US. 1t can
not be possible that the press OF the
state of Washington will come out
boldly, and say that there is not a
growing tendency of the press at large
to publish advertising matter, and ac-
counts of criminal proceedings, that no
youth, male or female, can read with
out demoralizing effect.
Many OF the objects mentioned in
the bill, as given out by the press, are
no doubt too drastic, but there are sew
eral excellent points that should be TAX
en- up and enacted into law that will
make the news columns and advertising
matter in papers and magazines pub
hshed or sold in the state, suitable tc
read without blush. Amend the bill
but--for the good of the rising gener-
alton, do not kill it.

ance to permit it to pass without some
mention, and at this time we will give
it. We refer to the death OF Ruben,
the little son OF Mr.. and Mrs. P. 0.
Edeen of this place, who died very
suddenly January 30th from stomach
trouble. Nothing wrong was noticed
until 4 a. m. when symptoms indi-
eating poisoning caused the parents to
summon medical assistance, but with
out relief, and the sufferer passed away
at II p. m. Ruben was born in Troy
March 8, 1904, and would have been
three years old. Rev. Seth Of Spokane
conducted the services from the Swed-
lsh Lutheran church, and interment
took place in the Big Bear cemetry.
