OCCUR D'ALENR NEWSPAPERS

NOMUn DAAk1NE NEWHFAFEAtS
Occur d'Alene has had a check
cred career with regard to the print
ing business and the publication of
newspapers especially. During the
past fifteen years the boneyard has
been Allied with newspaper wrecks.
First. the old Occur d'Alene Times
went down under pressure of fnan-
cial difficulties. This was followed
a few years later by the Other Side,
which was born to represent persons
who wanted an organ. The field was
then left to the Press for several
years, when tire Budget sprang into
existence. This sheet died IN early
infancy and was followed by the In
dependent, which was established by
0. d. Moon. backed by coterie of
persons who wanted an organ. The
organ soon got too expensive and
passed entirely into the hands of its
editor, Later another faction wanted
an organ and the third paper was
started under the name OF the senti-
mel. II was TO be the guard over the
peoples interests and see that its
hackers got the best of everything.
Like all organs published in the in
terest of private individuals or
clique, II went to the wall and the
Independent, which belled It's name,
followed suit, Out of these two abor-
tions the Journal was born aud II has
had somewhat checkered career.
with several narrow escapes from the
boneyard. There are now indications
OF another shifting OF the scenes in
the field. During all this time the
Press has been continuously pub
lished. never missing an issue. The
reason may be found In the fact that
the policy or the Press has been the
best interests OF the town and the
people. There are now Ave printing
Offices In the city, and there is not
room for all; some must lose money
and go to the wall. The Press win
not be one OF the unfortunates.

tied beyond doubt that New York i
delegates will present united front
at Chicago In behalf OF Governor
Hughes.
General Stewart l.. Woodford,
President Jacob Gould schurman OF
Cornell. ex-Mayor Seth Low and ex-
Governor Frank s. Black will probab-
ly constitute the big four" that will
lead New York's delegation to Chlca-
60"
Governor Hughes by common con-
sent has been accorded the privilege
OF naming the big four" None Of
the politicians have attempted to
hamper him. State Chairman Wood
run and County Chairman Parsons
have sidestepped responsibility be-
cause should they select the delegates
they would be bound TO fight hard
for Hughes all the time, whereas If
the governor himself names his dele
gates he can only have himself to
blame In case of break.
The governor wants men of the
type OF Low, Schurman and Wood
ford to represent them instead Of
practical politicians. The appearance
of Ex-Governor Black on the slate is
attributed to the influence of men
behind the Hughes state league.
George w. Aldridge and ex-senator
Bracket, chief officers OF the league,
are expected to help Black, as will
the Odell forces. II Black should be
left or, II Is likely that Bracket will
be put on. Ii Black goes from the
state at large 1t is expected that
Bracket will be one of the delegates
from his congressional district.

A Good Investment.

Unpreparedness for war has be-
come almost a national characteristic
The keynote of that is economy.
Congress is 10th to spend few dol
lars, cutting on military and naval
appropriations wherever possible.
The people must come to realiza-
ton Of future dangers from rapidly
rising Oriental powers before II is
too late, otherwise the lesson may
have to be learned at the cost Of
millions in money aud thousands OF
lives. That there Is a movement
In Oregon even, to hold up small
appropriation for armories for the
proper training Of hundreds Of Ma
tional Guardsmen in the state, is a
disgrace to the patriotic citizens OF
our state. There is no investment
which the people can possibly make
that will give so large return In due
time. Trained citizen soldiers con-
stitute our great hope since IL Is the
policy Of the country to keep mere
handful Of a regular army. Let
us every one vote for any measure
looking to the training Of our young
men to defend their country.

The statement Of permits issued

The number of permits issued last
year during April was ID and the
same number this year; but while
the valuation last year was s IS, 800
this year II was $i7,2so. last year
during the first four months there
were 20 building permits issued in
St. Johns as against SO for the
same months this year, and the
aggregate valuation last year for
this period was $43, 200 while this
year 1t was $50, 900. The activity
in the building line is increasing
in St. Johns as the weather becomes
more settled. We look for the
heaviest run of building this year
we have ever had in St. Johns.

New Berry HallOck.

c, ID. Edwards with the Portland
Basket and Handle company has
invented one of the finest folding
hallocks for berries we have ever
seen. 1t is shipped to the growers
in the fiat and they put il together
when filling their crates. II does
away with the double bottom which
enabled dishonest growers to raise
the bottom with a big berry and
fill the hallocks with about half the
number of berries required when
properly put together. II is the
simplest and yet the most ingenious
hallock we have ever seen. Mr..
Edwards expects to 60 to Hood
River this week to try aud interest
the growers there and have them
make trial Of his hallock this year
and by next year he will be pre-
pared to furnish any number de-
sired If they prove as good as they
look.

Vancouver Beats St. Johns.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The St. Johns Apostles proved
themselves anything but mudlarks
in the game with the Pioneers at
Vancouver Sunday. and Helser's
clever bunch took them into camp
by a 9-to-I score. and incidentally
displaced them in the percentage
column. N
Wakefield, the St. Johns twirler.
pitched elegant ball, but the errors
OF his team mates proved too much
of a handicap and he Is credited
with defeat. Troeh. the Iowa
Lacquer, was ON the mound for Van
couver, and showed class ia the
pitching art, He was backed up
by a splendid support and secured
a well'deserved victory. ST. Johns
was credited with "a errors aud S
hits, and Vancouver . errors and
6 hits.
The rain interfered In the sew
enth inning, and after the Apostles
had been retired in that cauto the
game was called of.

Eighth Grade Exams.

There is no end Of amusing Incl
dents connected with the hard
work Of conducting the state
eighth grade examinations. In
spite Of the careful work Of teach
ers, and hard study Of the pupils
