Saloon License Refused /.

The county commissioners this week
turned down the application OF Shappart
& Fockler for saloon license at Winona.
The matter came up Tuesday. Commits
sioner Ellis voted to grant the license,
while Commissioners Mccoy and Ruply
voted against it. This means that our
neighbor will be dry town. Petitions
for and against were presented. Saloon
licenses will probably not be granted in
future in any case unless public senti-
ment is in it's favor.

LARGE ACREAGE SOWN.
Weather Conditions Have Been Fav.
orahle to the Farmer

A gentleman who has visited every
section of Whitman county during the
last few weeks, besides being an old resi-
dent Of the Palouse, says he has never
seen so great an area sown to fall wheat
nor so much ground turned up as has
been witnessed this fall The beautiful
weather lent helping hand in this re-
gard everything has been favorable to
the tiller of the soil. To begin with we
had plenty of rain at the right time,
putting the soil in the best condition for
the plow as well as for seeding, which
has been taken advantage of up to the
limit, hence we may look for the largest
acreage next season ever seen in the
Palouse. Fall sown wheat in hundreds
of fields is springing up nicely, showing
that it has taken deep root.

CITY ROSE HEDGE.

How a Small Back Yard Was Easily
Made Beauty Spot.
Iron fences can easily be made at
tractive and greatly enhance the
beauty Of town by following the
scheme described in this article:
There is little two story house on
a street in West Philadelphia that
boasts one Of the prettiest rose hedges
that ever reminded the tired city
lwelier OF green lawns and country
gardens. The house has, as most West
Philadelphia houses do, a wee bit Of
sodded yard behind it-only few feet
square and surrounded by low iron
fence.
Over this fence the roses trail, gay
crimson ramblers and dainty pink RAM
blers and rare bits Of sweetbrier. From
the street through the narrow distance
that separates the house from its neigh
boring 'pair'' the passerby catches
glimpses of what looks like some love
ly pleasure garden. In the warm days
the family who live in the little house
all the year around eat their supper in
a corner Of the yard beside the roses
and on summer afternoons they enter
| tain callers there. 1t Is one of the
| prettiest places in town, this back YARD
| Of little two story house.
And all that the wise housewife die
was to buy some little rose plants, the
climbing kind, andNtrain them over thai
ugly wire fence.

High Culture Manifest.

Surely we are undergoing a pleas
ing development in civic life in the
matter Of municipal beauty, cleanliness
and conveaiences. Those places are
indeed behind the times which provide
no resting places, drinking fountains
and evidence Of community pride and
thrift. The individual may help much
toward the desired goal if he only
cleans and cares for his own premises
In proper manner. Work of this
kind, like the measles, Is highly con-
tagious and soon affects the community
generally. Visitors wonder why such
a place is so much more attractive
than others similarly situated and are
unconsciously attracted and If looking
for home will not fail to consider the
live, up to date appearance when the
final decision to settle is made. Tidy
up your premises and brighten the
scene with few flowers.

A TENDERFooT's REVENGE.

Bully Of New Mexico Town Had the
Tables Turned on Him.
The average tenderfoot IS not . cow

ence. An illustration Of this fact oc-
Cured down In New Mexico several
years ago. One day q pale looking,
thin and sickly young man alfghted
from the train and put up at the lit
tie adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The
tenderfoot walked up to the bar and
called for a bottle Of soda pop.
"'Tain't allowed to drink that sort o
stuff out here" said toughy. What
you want Is stiff drink o. red liquor.
Mr.. Barkeeper, set out the pison for
this young Teller" s'You have the best
Of me-" replied the tenderfoot, "and
I'll have to drink the stuff, but hope
the time may come when can make
you drink my choice Of liquid"
The tenderfoot raised the glass and
gulped down the whisky. Sandy had
had his way about 1t, and he made no
effort to comprehend the vague remark
Of the stranger. The tenderfoot left
for ranch down the Pecos the next
day after the incident In the saloon,
and he was forgotten until one after
noon more than year afterward a
strong, healthy looking young man
rode up to the hotel on broncho,
dropped the bride reins upon the
ground and dismounted. He had the
appearance Of typical young man Of

No sooner had he made the remark
than he walked off In the direction Of

WATERLOO.
The tnmutability Of the Famous Old
Battlefield.

The tnmutability Of the Famous Old
Battlefield.
One OF the most striking features Of
a. visit to the battlefield of Waterloo
today is the smmutability Of the entire
scene In which one Of the greatest bat
ties Of history took place. Notwith-
standing the many years that have
passed since the memorable day of
June Is, 1915, the entire scene Of the
battle remains practically unchanged
and untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide of battle surged
the fiercest, save for the necessary res
toraions Of the damage they sustain
ed in the conflict, remain exactly as
they were, nor has any encroachment
of building or progress marred the his
toric field.
The battlefield Of Waterloo is an
open, undulating stretch of good farm
ing land. On the day OF the battle the
greater part of 1t was covered with
crops Of rye, wheat, barley and oats,
and the same crops are still grown
there each season. The field is inter-
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont ST. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left, which lay In the center Of both
armies, led south to Genappe, Char
leroi and Namur. Upon the crest OF
the ridge which formed the first Of the
allied positions a crossroad runs east
and west. This road, On approaching
the spot where the ''Lion of Waterloo
now stands, ran through q cut in the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and 1t was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow
Road. Some 800 yards to the south
| east Of the Lion" Is the farm Of La
Haye Sainte. while about 900 yards
to the southwest stands Hougoumont
the old chateau, farmhouse, outbuild
ings, walled garden and orchard, which
played such an important part In the
| fate of the day. These buildings are
nearly 800 years old and were built
with view to their defense, as many
old stone loopholes stifl to be found
testify. - Robert Howard Russell II

BOOSTING THE YUKON.

That the output of the Yukon ter rltory will equal s5.OOO.OOO or more this season. an increase of $2,OOO, O,OOO over that of last year is the confident prediction made by Captain Arthur wtstanley. mining engineer who spent some time in the upper coun- try this summer. and who is temper arily sojourning in the Tanana, where he is nov inspecting many of the principal producing creeks of this dis trict. says a Fairbanks exchange.
 Captain wistanley made a some what exhaustive investigation into the question of the probable output of the Yukon, and lays the increase over last year to the installation of more modern methods of mining than prevailed in the Yukon during the past few years, notably the use of dredges, electrical conveyOrs, hydrau- lie outfits and other heavy equip ment. installed by the big combina- tions of capital now in possession of a vast area of the good mining ground of the famous old KlOndIke.

JUSTICE AND INFLUENCE.

Two recent incidents show that there is one branch of government service that moves along with very little regard for influence or pull" of any description-the navy. There must have been strong dislike to im- pose so drastic a punishment upon son of Admiral Evans-a public repri- mand and a reduction in rank of l5O numbers-for the breach of the na- val code which the young man com mitted. knowing the position of his father in the service, his popularity with the president and many. others of high standing. If the navy were amenable to the influences that ire quently seem to have effect in other departments, the infHctlon of some lighter penalty might have been an, ucipated.
 And so with the case of Magness, who left the service to marry young woman of social standing with many friends in high position. He has been sentenced to prison for a year for assertion. It may not be pleasant to contemplate punishment in either case, but it's imposition indi' cates that in some quarters the eyes of Justice are properly bandaged.- Juneau Dispatch.
 It would be pleasant to join in this sentImeut-to feel that in the case referred to Justice had been blind to all considerations but the merits of the case. The offense of young EE ans was in having struck an officer higher in rank. This is not only in- subordination but it is a personal af- front to the officer and must have sat hard upon his vanity. In striking at one higher" officer, all higher of ficers are struck at. It Is the higher officers that conduct the proceed ings. The offeuse of Evans is all the more aggrayating because of his fathers epyiable place In the navy that suipling should assume airs because of the fathers position.
 The public at large win agree with the judgment of the court-that Ev- ans should be properly spanked for the act itself, and the more because he probably would not have been guilty of it except that papa was Ad' miral Eyans-an admiral in high pub lie esteem. He should be all the more severely spanked for having brought discredit upon the EARNED good name of bis father. He has placed Admiral Evans before the world as being the father of silly hotspur or a cad-one of the other. And again discipline must be main taIned for it's own sake, But lt is no more an occasion for kneel' ing before JUSTICE than any other.
