THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

faith in the inevitable prosperity of Boise
Talking with Mr. Pnney about this property, he
gave some interesting facts
In 1874" he stated, when moved into the resi-
dence | now occupy I could sit on my front porch
and with unobsructed view see the grounds and the
buildings of the pententiary. There was not house
then to obStruct the view, nothing, in fact but the
native sage brush"
Speaking further about the block of ground and his
disposal of it at his mature age, he said
"The occupancy of this block all of it, for a beau
ful and adequate hotel property has been the dream
of my life in later years. l always wanted to see
hotel on this block and regarded the location pc
culiarly ideal for that purpose"
By the terms of the purchase Mr. Pinney has until
July list OF this year to remove all the Improvements
on the historic block except the Columbia Theatre
and his time to remove this building is extended two
months.
Just across the way from the Columbia Theatre
Mr.. Pinney is now excavating for and hand
some theatre building and many of the people who
know him best will be pleased to know that he will
dedicate this playhouse with the name it so
righteous deserves in view of the active and useful
life of its builder, viz: "The Pinney Theatre"
With the passing of the title to the Hotel Boise it
is to be hoped the people of Idaho will have just
to be proud of block &c Gas they have been in
q
hotel which will rank with any in the West.
ITs PRESENT GRANToR
AS for Mr. Pinney, he is a pioneer of the earlier
type He entered Boise Basin in 1863 and opened
general merchandise store there in 1864 soon after
which he appointed by President Abraham Lin
coin as the first postmaster in Idaho City, and for
that matter the first in all this region of country
He was reappointed by President U. S. Grant and
resigned the position to move to Boise
In May, 1865, Mr. Pinney had accumulated until he
had two stores in the then thriving mining camp and
in May OF that year devastating fire swept the town
away, leaving him nothing but the ground where the
two stores were located.
He sold one location and Immediately began the
erection of store building He planned for a
one-story structure but theatrical man came along
and induced him to add second story to his build
ing to be used as theatre
This Mr. Pinney's initial experience in the
theatrical business, which he has made so successful
for himself and for the public, and which he now
looks forward to in the building of the Pinney The
atre the monumental effort of his long and inter-
esting life in the commercial and social realm of this
portion of Idaho
1881 and last in 1905 He has met the stern realities
of life brave1y and manfu1ly and with smile
whether shadows sunshine spread along the path
of his onward march toward the setting sum- keeping
step with the many interesting pioneers of this his
toric valley and every one who knows him will
honor him for his continued faith in the business
future of Boise and of Idaho.

A Brave Woman.

Plummer.-This section is ringing
with praise of Mrs. A. r. Harris, wife
of 500 section foreman, who res.
cued her 4-year-old son from drown
ing in an unused we'll near the Harris
home.
The mother was startled by her
little son Clarence, who rushed i'm
crying that Roy, aged i, had fallen in
the tank. She hurried out and looked
in the railroad bitches and water bar
rels, and Clarence followed and point
ed out the old well. She could not
see the child, as he had sunk from
sight.
The mother got into the well and
down to the water level, distance of
about twelve feet. Just then the boy
rose to the surface and she caught
him by the hair. How she got out of
the we'll with the unconscious form of
her little son, she is unable to tell,
and that they were not both drowned
seems miracle.
She carried the boy into the house
and by rolling and artificial respira-
ton treatment removed the water
out of his lungs and stomach and he
soon regained consciousness.

An Easter Bonnet,

Washington.-The 'Black Eagle of
Minnesota" has been presented with
an eagle war bonnet with authority
to wear it either ON or off the reser-
walton, and 50 he is now a cheap big
Indian" chief of the Crows. The tall
and swarthy Senator Moses E. Clapp
of Minnesota, chairman of the Indian
committee Of the senate, has often
been described by his friends as "The
Black Eagle of Minnesota" Whether
the senator likes the appelation or
not. it is evident that he is not Who'll
ly pleased with the presentation to
him of war bonnet by the Grow In
dams as manifestation of the kindly
feeling toward him. He was given q
great surprise by Chief Plenty Coos
and his fellow tribesmen, who have
been witnesses before the Indian
committee for the last three weeks,
when the chief marched into the
committee room at the head of the
band and through an interpreter
ph]egmatically informed the senator
that the treatment that had been &C.
corded the Indians was highly appre-
ciated and that an appropriate gift
was due the white chief of the COM

Paris, April 28.-A news agency
has what purports to be confirmation
of the report of the assassination of
Raisuli. According to the report re-
ceived here, the bandit was ambushed
by number of Leymes tribesmen
while returning to his home from a
native feast offered in his honor.
Other reports express doubts as to the
truth of the rumors.

Improving Diaries.

St. Paul.-In order to insure better
sanitary conditions in the diaries of
the state and to reduce, if not stop,
the Importation of cattle which have
not been inspected, the state live
stock sanitary board will make pro-
visions for more strict enforcement
of the laws relating to. tuberculosis
among cattle and attempt to secure
the cooperation of cattle breeders.
these subjects were taken up at the
quarterly meeting of the board, held
in the old capitol. A strict enforce
ment of sanitary regulations in dair-
les was shown by statistics to work a
reduction in percentage of tuberculo-
sis among cattle. The board decided
to have one of the field veterinarians
inspect the diaries throughout the
state and to take such steps as may
be necessary to enforce strict COM
pliance with the regulations.

SENATE DEFEATS
1 ship PROGRAM
TWO 6ATTLEsHlPs EACH YEAR
IS BEST PRESIDENT GETS
FROM CONGRESS.
Fixes Terms Of Disarmament. What
Roosevelt Hoped to do Had Con
gress Agreed to the Four Men-of-
war Program.

Washington, April 2s.-Two battles
ships year is what President Roose-
velt says he has accomplished through
his fight for his naval program. Had
he been victorious in having four bat
tleships authorized at this session,
the United States could have dictated
terms of disarmament to the nations
of the world. This statement made
last night is understood to reveal the
presidents source of strength in the
naval fight which has been waged so
strenuously.
Furthermore, two ships this year,
with the promise of two ships each
year to follow, which the president
has accepted as bonafide stipula-
ton on the part of the senate, means
simply a program which will place
the United States in the front rank
of naval progression, but fails to
place US in the position to dictate .
cessation Of naval aggression.
That the president, on the whole, is
pleased with the result of his efforts
with congress on this subject was
made manifest tonight; that he firm
ly believes in the ability of the Uni
ted States to dictate the naval policy
of the world in the future through
demonstration of ability to over
whelmingly outstrip rival construction
IL equally manifest.
President Roosevelt wanted four
battleships this year. He got two.
With the two he obtained the prom
ise that two more would be forthcom-
ing each year. This means consid-
ering the dimensions of the battle
ships which modern construction die
tates, that the United States shall
keep fully abreast of the naval arma-
ament of any other nation.
The friends of the president are
flushed with what they regard "a a
signal victory for his international
policies and the details of this victory
are freely given and are declared to
reflect the exuberance of President
Roosevelt.

.Hypnotism.,

The actual foundation of modern
hypnotic suggestion was discovered
by Liebault of Nancy, the famous "fa-
Their of the therapeutic application Of
suggestion" After several years of
practical experience, in 1866, Liebault
wrote his first book on the subject It
was shelved and he was called q
lunatic. Hypnotism remained curl
osity and Liebault's book was not re-
produced till six years after Charcot,
in 1878, began his study of hypnotism
In 1884 Bernheim wrote his work on
suggestion, and this created demand
for Liebault's book, which then gave
him his lasting reputation.-New

news OF MINNESOTA,
Minnesota

Mendota. There probably is not
one man in twenty good, patriotic
residents of the state who can tell
why Minnesota was named Minnesota
and what the name really means.
"Minnesota is a Sioux Indian word,
meaning muddy water cloudy
water or 'skytinted water Henne-
pin and La Sale saw the Minnesota
river in 1880 and La Honton, Le Sueur
and Carver later"
Mendoza is rich in historical inter-
est. This is the oldest town in the
state, having been started in 1880.
The name is an Indian word meaning
in one language the junction of two
trails and in the Sioux tongue the
mouth of river AS the Dakota
Indians, tribe of the Sioux, fire.
quented these parts, it is believed
that their meaning of the word should
apply, as just above Mendoza the
Minnesota river enters the MISSISSIPPI
pi. AS early as 1885 Gen. H. H. Sib-
ley had an Indian trading post here,
and in 1887 erected stone dwelling
house that still stands and is in good
preservation. Near by is Fort Shell
ing. This fort was built by Col.
Josiah Smelling in 1s2O-23, and was
named Fort Anthony, from the falls
of that name. In 1924 the name was
formally changed by the United
States secetary of war, and was nam
ed for Col. Smelling, who erected the
post.

Pessimism and Optimism.

A peSsimist is man who looks for
worms in his bell-f1ower apple. An
optimist is man who shuts his eyes,
eats worms and all and never kicks
at the stomachache. A pessimist is a
wart on the neck of. progress that
cant be used as collar-button. An
optimist is Joy forever and a favor
lite with the first row in the balcony.
A pessimist clings to the rheumatism
as an excuse for grumbling, while an
optimist loves a pretty girl for the
hugging there is in her. You can't

timist, none of the girls in my. set
