OF the Northern Securities, which was

passed a law allowing cities in Iowa
which desired to do so. to change
their form of government to conform
to the Galveston plan.
Lewiston, Idaho, has grown very
rapidly in the last six years, and Is
now a city Of about 1000 inhabitants.
Recently a new charter was adopted,
that went into effect yesterday. This
new charter completely changes the
old recognized form Of government
1t places the government of the city
directly in the hands of the people.
1t provides for the initiative and
referendum, the recall, and gives the
city the right to own and construct
public utilities of all sorts and en-
powers the city authorities to fix and
regulate the price for gas, light, pow
er and street car fares.
There are six councilmen, who, with
the mayor exercise all legislative
functions and each of whom fills
some one of the executive offices of
the city. All are elected at large,
thus doing away with the ward
councilman. One councilman is po-
lice commissioner. his pay being for
his double duties of a legislator for
the city and the head of the police
department. In the same way anoth-
er councilman will be fire commits
sioner, the third will be street COM
missioner, the fourth commissioner
of public works, the fifth the water
works and sewer commissioner, and
the sixth the commissioner of finance
and revenue. Because they are not
elected by wards it is possible to pick
the best material for each place.
Franchises may be granted limited
to life of 20 years, after which
they may he acquired by the city at
fair valuation for the tangible
property, no allowance whatever to
be made for any value derived
through the franchise. Public serv-
ice corporations are forbidden to in
any way contribute to campaign
funds and 25 per cent of the voters
petitioning at any time, may demand
recall of any official not perform
ing his duties satisfactorily to the
people.
While 1t is an innovation, Lewis.
toms new charter provides for the
running Of a city on such practical
lines that its operation will be watch.

BIG CARNATIONS.
They Were Cultivated In England IN
Shakespeare's Time.

They Were Cultivated In England IN
shakespeare's Time
A florist says that we pride ourselves
nowadays on the size of our carna-
lions, but the florists Of 300 years ago
grew carnations three to four inches
across as large as any that we see.
and thought nothing Of II.
"All through Spain, southern France
and italy the carnation is the favorite
flower and has been for hundreds Of
years, but along the Mediterranean
there are few glass houses, for in pro-
tected situations and on southern
slopes Of hills even delicate flowers
grow outdoors all winter long and
bloom as freely at Christmas as in
July.
1.-THE big carnations, however, were
not grown in Spain or Italy, but in
England outdoors during the summer
time and before glass houses were
known. They may have grown just
as large carnation flowers in Spain as
in England at that time, but in Eng
land there was record made Of the
fact and also Of the size, while in Spain
there was not Shakespeare mentions
carnations and gillyhowers. or July
flowers, together as blooming at the
same season, which shows that the
carnation was then summer flower,
whereas in our greenhouses 1t is now
winter bloomer. How the florists Of
those days treated the plants to OBJ
tain blooms Of such size nobody knows,
for old time florists grew flowers In
stead Of writing books about them. So
all we know Is that they had very
large carnations In Queen Elizabeth's
time without knowing how they were
grown."-St. Loris Globe Democrat

HIDDEN TREASURE.

Now zealanders Dig For kauri Gum
In tho Ground.
Many New Zealanders find II profit
able to dig for hidden treasure. That
for which they dig. however, is not
gold or Captain Kids III gotten
wealth. though 1t has a dull yellow
color. It is kauri gum, resinous sub
stance which Is the product Of the
kauri pine tree. The gum can be Sc
cured from the trunks Of trees while
they are alive, for It protrudes in
Jumps, but 1t is especially profitable
to dig for 1t in the soil about the
stumps remaining after the trees have
been cut down. Sometimes chunks
weighing as much as 100 pounds are
taken up from the ground.
Digging for kauri gum Is profitable.
for the gum is used in the manufacture
Of varnish, and apparently 1t is one Of
those products Of nature whose place
cannot be filed by anything else which
has yet been, discovered. 1t has been
found that it can be used in certain
enamel paints. and this has had the
effect of bringing the demand up to a
point above the supply.
The kauri pine is magnificent tree
1t rises as straight as needle to Q
height of from 100 to 200 feet and
attains at times diameter Of fifteer
feet. It is noted for Its dark, dense
foliage and is much used for masts
for vessels constructed for the British
navy.

PILOT ROCK KINDERGARTEN.
Editor McManus Makes Observations
on Metropolitan Press.

Editor John P. McManus of the
Pilot Rock Record, says OF Journal
ism in Pendleton and Pilot Rock:
In the less than five years the
Record has been established at Pilot
Rock four boys have been taught the
boxes" and in other ways to make
themselves useful about a printing
office.
Three of these boys are now in
Pendleton holding responsible jobs.
One is foreman of job printing Of
flee and the other two are superin-
tending the mechanical departments
of the Tribune. Any improvement
that readers have noted in the gener-
al appearance of the Pendleton paper
of late should give the Pilot Rock
boys credit for it.
Any boy that has worked three
months on the Record experiences no
difficulty in holding down any posi-
ton, from proof-reader to superinten-
dent of the makeup on that very
excellent publication This fact speaks
we'll for the Record as kindergarten
school. Boys who are willing to pay
for a three months training on a
Washington hand press, in order to fiji
themselves as pressmen on metropol-
itan papers, will be accommodated by
the Record.
The Record wishes to call the at
tention of the Pendleton pape-s to a
young lady in this town that gradu-
ated from the eighth grade recently
and who has been given some train
ing as a local reporter. If either OF
the Pendleton papers is in need OF
city editor or managing editor, the
Record will take pleasure in recon-
mending her.
She knows how to spell dairy
veterinary; knows that there are more
than $4,000 sheep in this county, as
her father has herded that number
for one man, and If she kills anybody
about the Tribune office 1t viii not bt
the wrong man" as that would b'
impossible.

idiot" is a word with curious his
tory. In Greek '1diOtes' began by
meaning private individual, as ap-
posed 10 the state or to state official;
then It meant a nonexpert or layman
and finally an ignorant man or an
awkward fellow. It was left for Eng
hsh to carry the meaning further to
mental deficiency. In piers Plow-
man. an idiot Is an ignorant per
son, and as late as 1893 It could mean
a person who knew only one language.
Wyclif and Jeremy Taylor used 1t in
the sense Of "layman," and the latter
also In that Of private person" And
a professional "foop' or Jester was at
one time an idiot too.

Chewing and Dyspepsia.

The lean dyspeptic, taking a mouth.
full of chop, chewed It interminably.
"Forty chews," he paused to say,
"for every bite" And his jaws began
to grind again.
"You make me laugh" his compan-
ion, a psychologist, returned. "Meat
requires little, II any, chewing. You
must have wasted lot Of chews in
your time"
"Go onr'
"It's true. Vegetables require chew
ing, for they are digested largely by
the alkaline mouth juices, but meat Is
digested by the acid stomach juices,
and to chew 1t more than enough to
make It 60 down easily does harm In
stead Of good. The mouth alkalis. ad-
mixing with It, hinder the stomach
acids work.

friend, but let your meat slip down un'
ground."-New Orleans Ttmes-Demo.

LEW|STON's MODEL CITY GOVERNMENT

Lewiston, Idaho is the first town
In the west to take up what has be-
come known as the Galveston plan of
city government, says the Seattle
Star.
Following the great hurricane and
tidal wave, which almost destroyed
Galveston in 1900, the people went
before the legislature and had the
city charter abolished and new
form of government substituted, con-
sisting of five men, each of whom.
besides performing duty as council
men, fill certain executive offices of
the city.
Really the plan should be known
as the Memphis plan, as 1t was first
adopted in Memphis, Tennessee, in
1875, following the cholera epidemic
of the year before. Memphis was
left bankrupt and in order to escape
debt which the city was utterly un-
able to pay the people had the old
city wiped out by legislative enact
ment and the district of Memphis
created, which was governed by four
men.
Galveston improved upon the
Memphis plan and formed new city
government along the line Of off,
GERS and directors of a private cor
poration. The head Of the directorate
fills the duties Of mayor and the 9TH
er members Of the commission fill
ed the positions Of treasurer, comp
troller, city engineer and street and
sewer superintendent. These five
appoint a police magistrate, city at
torney, chief Of police and other city
officials.
