EayesdrOpping Over the Telephone.

The rural telephone has been
great blessing to the farmers all over
tie western country. 1t has done
very much to break up the isolation
of the farm as we'll as to save long
trips to town 1t is a wonderful help
in time of sickness and at threshing
time; in short. is an improvement
which farmers could not get along
without at any reasonable cost.
There are, however, some very
grave abuses in the use Of these rural
telephones. They are so constructed
that when a call is made for one mem
Der it heard by all, and any person
who wishes to go TO the 'phone when
ever the bell rings can be in touch
with the gossip Of the whole commun-
ity In other words, the telephones
are used for eavesdropping
This is conceded by all to be one of
the worst of the small vices which
child may contract. and every sens
ible parent takes every pains to con
troll the natural curiosity of children
about everything that is going on by
pointing out to them the necessity of
attending strictly to their own bu siness
and paying no attention whatever to
the things that do not concern them.
How can child be impressed with
the essential meanness of eavesdrop-
ping, if parents rush to the telephone
and listen purposely to the converse
tion that their neighboIs may be cal
rying on The remedy is easy. New
er take down the receiver except in
response to your own call, and never
allow child to do so. Give him to
understand that eavesdropp ng over
the telephone is quite as dishonorable
as eavesdropping in any other way in
the home or at a neighbours. The
best way to impress this is to never
take down the receiver except in re-
Spouse to your own ring
Some farmers are taking out their
party telephones simply because they
do not wish to have their converse
tions with intimate friends or with
their physician, or with a buyer of
live stock, listened to by their neigh
bors, and IN this they are doing exact
ly right.
There are other abuses connected
with the rural telephone system, but
all could easily be corrected if the
managers would limit conversations,
as they have done in town, to three
minutes and charge for longer use of
it.
Any farmer or farmers wife can
say all that needs to be said in three
minutes, whether it be about buying
new horse, the baby's teething,
Johns cold, or the new dress pattern,
or the prospects for weddings in the
neighborhood. The rural telephone is
wonderful help to farmers, but like
all the good things it may be and in
some cases is very greatly abused,
to the moral detriment of those who
abuse it Farm Journal

To Improve National Forest Ranges.
The government has planned a series
OF scientific reseeding experiments ON
several OF the national forest ranges
next spring and summer to determine
under what conditions and in what
manner those portions OF the range
which have been seriously damaged by
overgrazing may be restored to their
former productiveness Experiments
win tirst be made on five or six acre
tracts. Both native and wild grasses
win be tried. but II Is believed that the
plan of encouraging native grasses
win meet with greater success than the
Introduction OF cultivated species. ut
least In the Rocky mountain region.
A great deal OF the range land Is
overgrazed and does not carry as much
stock as formerly. The method OF
handling stock, particularly sheep. is
perhaps more responsible for this cen
dltion than any other cause But all
causes OF deterioration and al means
Tor improving the forage crop need to
be studied. that the range may be
brought into It's best condition.

bonds, and they can not be issued
without vote OF the people, and the
question must be submitted by reso-
luton of the board OF county com
missioners representing the different
sections OF the county. Does any
voter, under such circumstances, see
any reason why the people should
not have the inalienable right to
settle this question for themselves
once for all, regardless OF the selfish
interests of either Rathdrum or
Occur d'Alene? We are not afraid
to trust the people to decide mat
tiers Of vital public interest, and have
always believed in such as one Of
their rights. That Is the reason we
favor the election of United States
senators by direct vote, the direct
primary law, and other reforms
which bring the government closer
to the people.
We challenge the supporters of
Rathdrum to come ont openly and
say that the people have no right
to settle this and all other public
questions by their votes. They are
denying this right when they oppose
submitting the county seat removal
to a vote, and are attempting to
cover up their position by mIsIead-
ing the voter in mess OF figures
and misstatements. We do not be-
Iieve they can deceive the people
into losing sight Of their right to
vote on this matter.

bold is shown by the murder of the

for that class of people in this coun-

WINNIPEG. Manitoba, March s.
Ten thousand stalwart men and
fair women, clad in the costume pop
ularly supposed to have been affect
ed by Adam and Eve before the fall,
will form spectacle that may
shock the eyes Of the people of the
Mississippi valley this spring.
This army clothed in innocence
and nothing else, will be composed
of the Doukhobors, the religious
fanatics who were settled in the
western Canadian provinces by the
dominion government several years
ago. The leaders have announced
that the promised land lies to the
south, in the valley OF the MISSISSIPPI
pi. and already preparations are be-
ing made by the faithful for the
great pilgrimage.
Owing to the proclivities of the
Doukhobors to cast of their clothing,
always scant, whenever the climate
will allow, and to depend for susie
nance upon God and the people
through whose territory they march,
the United States authorities will
likely have much trouble In inducing
the fanatics to comply with the laws
of the land.

FREIGHT DELAYS.

The people of Occur d'AIene are
fortunate in having two transpor-
tation lines over which they may
ship out freight, or there is no tell
ing what kind OF service they would
receive. The Press has just had an
experience which shows how little
the big railway corporations care for
the interests of the general public or
their patrons. On February 26 this
office made a freight shipment to
Spokane over the Northern Pacific
Hearing nothing from 1t, the matter
was called to the attention OF the
consignee and he reported that II
had not reached there on March 4
This morning the matter was taken
up at this end OF the route and we
were informed that there had been
no freight cars to Spokane since the
shipment was received at the freight
Office, making about seven days that
the shipment laid here awaiting
transportation. And this is said to
be only fair sample OF the service
given this city by the Northern Pa
cific railway. 1t is not entitled to
any business If it can not give bet
ter service than this. The condi-
tions existing on this line ought to
be brought to the attention OF the
Interstate commerce commission by
our business men In a case for relief
from the unnecessary delays and i'm
convenienees occasioned by this
penny-wise policy. One merchant,
a heavy shipper from the east, stated
that all Of his goods were now or
dered consigned over the 500 lire
and the electric line from Spokane.
