timers who came before the Indians
and Buffaloe had departed, it is as
old as auybOdy's country.

homeward, wishing the host many
pleasant returns Of thel day.

In answer to the renascent
proposal to give up the Philip
pines, it seems necessary to say
that with more than n million
immigrants a year, mostly from
southeastern Europe, Americans
will soon need a place to which
to retire, where they can hear
their language and have the pro-
lection of the unwritten law.
The lumbermen, it may be OBJ
served, are depriving us of our
natural refuge, the tree.tops.

Considerable interest was man
ifested locally the latter part of
last week in the trials before His
Honor, Judge Chapman, of Messrs
Tracy and Ilannigan, the well
known saloon men, on the charge
Iof keeping disorderly houses.
A jury trial was held in both cases.
A number of witnesses testified;
the attorneys expended their in
genuity and cloquence; the Judge
expounded the law and the juries
in both cases rendered verdicts
of guilty.
The Judge leniently assessed
a nominal fine in each case of
$50 and costs with the admoni-
ton to go and sin no more.

repressible no longer, and is Of

Hannigan, n politician of long
standing, accepts defeat like a
philosopher; or in the expressive
vernacular of the West: Takes

The concensus of opinion, after
a careful canvas, seems to be
that purity of speech is n social
necessity. rs physical purity is a
sanitary requisite. And now
Deming, with pure air, pure
water, pure bodies and pure
speech is destined to become the
