Congressman French Delivers
Pleasing Address

this time the faculties are all fresh,
the body vigorous and hope and en-
thusiasm predominant uaits. He
showed that ONE who does not take
advantage Of life in its youth will
never win q place in this world and
that one must earn more than a wsge
to achieve success In this country.
He advised every young man and
WomaD to think and dream Of their
future life and TO have a purpose In
that failure. He stated that the world
steps aside for the one who knows
whittier they are going; that the world
does not always appreciate the present
endeavor or purpose but In the finale
will. He advised the class to str i've
for the brand of greatness that the
world will appreciate In the centuries
to come, that the takers we're APP,
plauded only for the moment and
then forgotten. but that the truly great
live always in the thoughts and mem
cries Of nations. He spoke Of divis-
ioninR life SO that part Of the time
could be spent in recreation and rest.
He was glad that the time had come
when the value of rest hours was appre-
ciRted and the desire On every hand TO
see the maximum Of good accomplished
by the minimum OF labor. He finished
his eloquent address by asking THAT
IS you plan your life work, plan il
to the best for yourself and your
brother that you may make the Worl d
brighter and better for your living. "
The address was followed by q song
by G.. c. BroWnell. President White
then presented the diplomas to the
class. In his address be asked the
class to put to the best use the knowI
edge and education that they had
gained by the expenditure of the
peoples money. He expressed the
wish that all Of them might go to Mos
COW and finish the education in which
our schools had given them the start.
He then spoke to the audience of the
bond that the trustees had asked the
public to assume and ON which they
we're TO vote next Monday, stating
that these buildings were indispens'
able and IL they were not built tht
congestion of our schools would force
the trustees to hire rooms as they had
done In the past. One sentence which
was somewhat pathetic in the. senti
ment it expressed, and uttered. by TIM
man, who knows the conditions and
has worked hard In behalf OF Oul
, educational institutions, should toucl
the responsive chord in every heart
"Give as this, we must have it. "
, The members of the class were thu
, recipients OF many beautiful boquet

l lations and best wishes OF friends an,
4 acquaintanoes. The program closes
with a selection by the orchestra.

the Hon. Burton L. French, of Mos
COW, Idaho's we'll known congressman.
The subject of his address was ''The
Outlook for the Present Day Young
Men and Women. He spoke of the
rapid growth of our city and especial
ly of our schools, going into the past
and showing how in four years the
schools and scholars had more than
quadrupled. How the work Of adj
vanoement had been made possible
only by having splendidly equipped
men and women at the helm Of school
affairs. He then began his discourse
on the subject selected, stating the
fact that the present day young men
and women are more in demand; that
the education and the training they
now receive at them for positions OF
responsibility where century bach
only a few of the old and tried heads
of a community would be chosen fol
similar work. He made plain how
much more is demanded today Of thu
young men and women of our countr!
than a century 60; that we live 10 the
latter day when all are educated il
the elemental courses of stud!
and are better prepared to enter oil
the battlefield of life than our fore
fathers; that opportunities have NOR
than kept pace with time, and man,
more there are today than in the past
that the value of money has decreases
and the value of the individual wit
brains has increased proportionately
Another thought was that every youn
man or woman must expect to do an,
accomplish more at the beginning o
their work ng life than later; that

TO LET THE RED MAN WORK.
Indians to Have a Chance to Be Men
and Not Mere Wards.

' 1t is only within the last few years
Ignore especially within the last two
that the opening of the reservations
has wrought any considerable change
In the Indians condition.
He continued to receive his rations
and lived in much the same way as OF
old, only in a comparatively few in
stances improving his property. With
the entrance Of the present Indian
commissioners, says the World To-day,
a radically different policy was in
cepted.
This new movement aims at the SUBJ
stitution of independence and freedom
for segregation and charity. Every in
ducement is being offered to the able
bodied Indian to go out into the world
and seek work side by side with the
white man and in free competition
with him.
1t Is the policy Of labor and citizen
ship, as against the policy of rations
and nonentity. We are giving the red.
skin the white mans chance and ask.
ting him to assume the white mans re-
sponsibilities.
1t is a bold experiment, fraught with
many dangers and difficulties for US
and for our wards. No n can DO
more keenly alive to these than the
commissioner, but he has entered
upon the enterprise with a confidence
and enthusiasm that deserves success.

RIVERMAN IN REAL ACTION.
Journey oown Itream on a Log Simple
Exercise to Him.

First and foremost, your true river
man a ride a log. This does not
mean merely that he is able to stand
without spiashing in-though even
that is no mean feat. as a trial will
convince you. That Is the kinder
garten of it. The sawlog in the water
is not only his object of labor but his
means of transportation. Your true
riverman on drive almost never steps
on land except to eat and sleep.
A journey Downstream is to him ap
affair of great simplicity. He pushes
into the current "a stick of timber,
jumps lightly atop it, leans against his
peavy n floats away as graceful and
motionless as a Grecian stature.
When his unstable craft overtakes
other logs he deserts it, runs forward
as far as he can the logs bobbing
awash behind his spring-and s. con-
tinues on another timber.
Jack Joyce on a bet rode for twelve
miles down Grand river on a log he
could carry to the streams bank across
his shoulders. Fully half the time his
feet were submerged to the ankles.
Nor does quick water always
your expert riverman to disembark.
Using his peavy as a balancing pole
and treading with squirrellike quick
ness as his footing rolls, he will run
rapids of considerable force and
volume. When the tail of a drive
passes through the chute of a dam
there are always half a dozen or so OF
the rear men who, out of sheer
bravado will run through standing up
right like circus riders and yelling
like fiends.-Outing Magazine.

Men Of the Moon LIah.weishts.

The average weight of man is 140
pounds. but the force of gravity on
Mars is so much less than on earth
that the 140-pounf man would weigh
only So pounds IL transported thither.
With such light weight and still re-
tanning the same strength, an individ-
ual would be able to run with the
speed Of an express train, go skipping
ove ten-foot walls, and do various
other extraordinary things. On the
moon a nan would be even lighter.
But on the sun u 140-pound man
would have his troubles. Instead OF
being an airy individual he would
weigh a ton and three-quarters. He
probably would have the greatest diff
ficulty in raising his hand, for that
member would weigh 300 pounds.
According to scientific computation
a man who on the earth weighs lao
pounds would go to the other celestial
bodies with the following weights:
Moon, 90: Mars. SO; Venus, ia; Mer-
curry, f19; Neptune. 1873; Uranus, 1871;
earth, 140; Saturn, les: Jupiter. 37l;
