THE TIME TO INVEST

It is incredible, that there vii
ever be a better time in which tt
invest in Occur d'Alene stocks than
right now. The market, to use
prize ring phraseology, has suffered
some staggering blows and is still
groggy, though there are evidences
that the next round will witness an
astonishing improvement in form.
The quick recuperation of the
market will be due to several
causes. One is that hackers will
soon rally from the excessive de-
spondency into which they were
thrown by recent events. Another
is that the new strikes and discov-
cries which are being made are
simply forcing up prices whether
the public takes hold or not. Still
a third is the fact that investors
are gradually coming to realize
that their panic was altogether
uncallcd for as the prices Of local
securities were at no time high and
the market, despite surface appear
ances, was always sound at heart.
Some of the stocks which have
been most inactive Of late will
probably lead in the procession to
recovery. Rex, for instance, will
be no longer idle any more than
The mine will. Its influence Of late
was highly discouraging. The
assurance that whatever man.

what the Occur d'Alene country
needs, Just think for moinent Of
a small mining area like this which
has paid over $50, WO, 600 in divid-
ends and then ask yourself whose
fault it is that the investing public
knows nothing about it. We have
evidcntally been asleep while other

stunts in advertising, but with all
their advertising the other camps
cannot show an equally good record

Love sonas of the Birds.


1t is a mistaken idea that a bird
sings directly to and for the ear of his
mate alone, wOoing her with his music.
Most of the finest songs are sung to
other males after the stress of rivalry
is past and each little lady's love Sc
cured. If the motive of the singing
were to attract the female the best
songs would be heard during the first
stage of love making. But birds go
very slyly about their mating, and
when a male bursts out in song one
can be pretty sure that the demure
wife is very busy over important af-
fairs of her own. Every close observer
of birds must notice that the female is
often Indifferent to the singing of her
mate. AS the love season comes on
a bird naturally Overflows into song
1t may be to attract some female near
er, though every bird has a distinct
significant love call, which carries as
far as his song. The moment she ap-
pears upon the scene he has less mu-
steal ways of courting her. Should he
go on singing some more strenuous
suitor would surely get ahead of him.
He will fight for her, feed her, coax
her with low. guarding notes. But if
he is singing loud and clear it is in tri-
umph. She is won-is his-and, like
gil truly loving mates, gives him his
freedom to go back to the springs Of
his being for rest and inspiration

Tree Choppers at Barracks.

From the Army and Navy Register.
1t is a pity that some staying hand was
not raised to save the fine cd trees which
adorned the grounds of the Washington
barracks near the site Of the Army War
College. The trees added to the beauty
of the place In q way which no archi-
tectural achievements or the embellish-
ments of the landscape gardener can
equal. There Is no substitute for trees
which have grown with time. and their
removal was a sacrifice which. 1t Is not
too much to say, was also q sacrilege. 1t
may easily be imagined that the same
sense of art which conceived the fantastic
notion of a semi-circle of statuary to
mark the approach to the Army War Col
lege must have regarded these majestic
trees as a blight on the landscape. The
trees are gone and we have not yet the
ridiculous efigies which were proposed in
all solemnty as a fitting ornamentation
of the military reservation.

Parasitic Theory of Cancer.

The wisdom of fumigating the houses
n which conservatives have died Is now
happily beyond dispute. 1t required a
long campaign of education to convince
the average person that the white plague
was germ disease. Another long cam
paign was needed to disseminate the
knowledge that the malady was infec-
tious Even after this knowledge was
dispersed among the peop'e 1t has re-
CURED heroic work to have persons act
on it and to treat the disease as an in
fectious one should be treated. So many
prejudices had to be overcome. This
stage of the reform work is not COM
pleted. but distinct progress is being
made One of the tragic problems of the
world will be solved when the white
plague Is banished.
In line with this thought is the revival
in France of the question OF cancer
houses" The Medical Record says that
the parasitic theory has been revived in
Paris by the publication of a report to
the project OF the Seine of the sanitary
bureau of that city and that a commits

purify against the polluters. instead of
forcing the poiluters to quit pollution.
The time Is coming when 1t will be
otherwise. Laws will prevent the defile
ment of water courses. The New York
state board of health has been given
authority to formulate rules for the pro-
lection of the watershed of streams used
for water supply. The watershed of the
streams that supply Boston are under
quite rigid regulation. and the boards Of
health of New Jersey. Ohio and Mime
sofa have the power to prevent the pollu-
ton of the watersheds OF water supplies.
Thus. the good work is progressing.
The world is only in the opening chap
ter OF the waste-disposal problem. but
solved the rivers will run as clean and
pure as when primeval forests lined their
banks and before millions of busy men
came to live there. Not only will the
rivers supply pure water but their food
supply resources will be developed to the
limit. Fish will be propagated on scale
scarcely thought of now. and the taking
of fish will be intelligently controlled. The
river floors. where the water IS salt. and
the bay bottoms will be vast oyster beds
except for those areas that Will De de-
voted to the culture of the clam. The
starvation of the world is countless ages
hence.
The waste of cities will sometime not
be waste. This paradox will come true
when city waste shall be used as fuel and
as fertilizer, and when those solids that
cannot be converted into fuel or fertilizer
shall be used to make tillable or inhabi-
table land out of flats. marshes and
swamps.
good deal of effort has already been
put forth In this country toward the SAM
tary disposal of garbage. In most cities
it Is destroyed. Various experiments
have been made and are making to turn
city refuse into an article of commercial
value. but the success along these lines
has been moderate. Present failure. OF
course. does not mean ultimate failure.
In some European cities raw sewage
Is used as fertilizer on municipal farms
This is very crude. Some way will be
found of taking out of sewage all plant

easily portable form.

A Just Petition.

District citizens are perfectly familiar.
II Is TO be assumed. with the arguments
supporting the Commissioners proposition
TO estimate at once for all the necessary
works of a permanent character while
preserving properly high standard Of
current maintenance. Those arguments
are based upon business principles. upon
common sense and upon fair dealing. They
cannot logically be refuted. 1t is sorey
to be regretted for the sake of the Dis
triCt's financial health and It's progress
that Congress has simply ignored them,
and has chosen It's own course in the mat
ter. refusing 10 allow the District to pay
on longterm basis for its great public
works, and at the same time holding it to
a meager allowance of current-ma nte-
nance funds
The Commissioners. undeterred by their
repeated failures to convince Congress of
the wisdom and the fairness of this
method of appropriation which they have
previously proposed. have again framed
their estimates. in the total sum of s13.-
667, 266.35 of which amount 1t is com
puted $500 50s will be required for cur
rent maintenance. s9T5 4OS for interest and
sinking funds purposes. and 81 POI $50 for
Va
necessary works of a permanent charac-
ter. To meet this estimated expense the
District. it is anticipated will have in
the next fiscal year an income from its
own sources of approximately 81. 500. 900.
which. doubled by an equal contribution
from the federal treasury. will yield a
total revenue of about S11 600 900. leav-
ing an apparent deficit of approximately
s. 6TO,C0o
This deficit however, would be only
form of deferred payment on certain
public works of "a permanent character
which are urgently needed and the use
of which will benefit future generations.
II Congress grants this allowance of
funds. making reasonable provision for
the longtime repayment of the balance
due. the District will be enabled to pro-
coed Systematically and thoroughly with
its betterments and equipment. without
curtailing current expenses and thus Grip
ping its various departments. All 1t asks
is that it be allowed to secure funds on
the same terms that are given to other
communities in the provision of the sub
stantial constructions which make for the
health and comfort and security of the
people, and at the same time to enlarge
Its outfit TO suit It's STEADY growth.
II would seem that an appeal SO reason
able, so soundly founded upon the rock
bottom of good business management and
square dealing. could not longer be ig-
nored by the appropriations committees
The fact that the District has managed to
squeeze along for several years and to
pay m some part spot cash for the large
betterments that have been provided
should serve as no sort of reason for a
further denial of the justice for which
the community Is now beseeching Its
legislative guardians.

Canada and Immigration.

The report Is interesting Win 1t lead to

that Canadian republic about which so
much has been written?
I. Is a nice problem. and Canada should
brush up on history. We have something
worthy of her consideration. The United
States figures broadly as the product Of
the Puritan and the Cavalier. As the
story runs. in New England settled the
Puritans seeking freedom of religious
worship. We get the general Idea Of
people clothed soberly, living austerely,
and wholly without flaw. Not drone or

south settled the Cavaliers, full of cere-
mony and high spirit We get the gen.

their large plantations on imported Ara

sides Not a scrub or scapegrace any

But a.as for the facts. Cody men

great majority, and they wrought with
industry and ability. But. spe 4kng ia

tough characters. who at the start took
no thought of religion, but had come over

Conventions and Local Sentiment.

Chairman New is quoted as follows
on the subject of his party's next meet
ing place:
Some people are disposed to attach
great political Importance to the selec-
ton of the convention city. but as
matter of fact there is practically no
significance to it. The action Of the con-
vention in the nomination Of the ticket
and the drafting of the platform Is not
influenced by local conditions or consfd-
erations The men who go as delegates
to republican rational conventions are
not swayed by noisy demonstrations OF
local enthusiasts in their choice OF presi-
Dental or vice presidential candidates.
and they are not thus moved to adopt
political principles. 1t Is mistake for
any one to assert or think. even, that this
or that candidate would profit by the
selection of any particular city
The record is against Mr.. New. Our
national conventions are not meeting
places for philosophers. wholly superior
to the influences of surrounding hula
balloo, but are composed of practical poll
ticians familiar with excitement and
who thrive on it. A boiler factory Is
quiet place in comparison with a ma
tional convention in the throes of ticket
or platform making. Indeed, for
quarter of a century business of that
description has been transacted in the
midst of such machine made confusion
and hubbub that foreigners. looking on
from the galleries. have returned home
more doubtful than ever of the republl-
can form Of government '-"
Local sentiment has at times in
fiuenced these national actions. Politi-
clans of weight have contended that the
democratic split in 1860 would not have
occurred had the convention been held in
city less aggressive In its champion
ship of slavery. Charleston was too much
for Mr.. Douglas. And at Chicago the
same year the Seward men complained
that local sentiment. operating on the
convention. secured the nomination Of
Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Seward had a long
lead when the convention met
1t Is very doubtful If Mr.. Hayes would
have been the candidate in 1876 If the re-
publicans had met elsewhere than In Gin
cinnati. 1t might not have been Mr..
Blaine anywhere. but certainly Mr.. Hayes,
whose reputation was largely local, bene-
flied by the meeting place. When the
necessity for compromise man became
apparent his neighbors rallied with en-
thusiasm to Mr.. Hayes. and the conven-
ton, under that pressure accepted him.
The Bryan men oppose the suggestion Of
an eastern city for next year, for the
reason that the east is still unfriendly to
Mr.. Bryan's policies. He draws large
crowds in that section when he speaks,
but on election day, when his fortunes as
a candidate are IN the balance he gets
few votes. Warned by this, his support
ers prefer a meeting place west of the
Alleghenies. or a southern city. They are
not going to play against unfriendly gal
leries. drilled in catcals and groans, If
they can help It.
The fight for the conventions Is warming
up. and more maneuvering is in progress
than appears to the naked eye. Brass
bands are not as yet in requisition.
