A HISTORICAL SKETCH
Continued from the March No.

We celebrate all the holidays, but Christmas and the Fourth of July are the days. Christmas is always a busy time with everyone For many days before there is joyful antici- patton. The church is always beau
 tifully decorated with yellow cedar and flags. In lhe Christmas music and other exercises, thevery small girls are always especially pleasing.
 The children prefer having their presents on Christmas day.
 They are given outafter breakfast, by the matronS. Some of the great draw backs to the work are the old customs, feasting for the dead, danc- ing and potlatching. CertainphaSeS of these old customs are harmless in themselves. The careless onlooker IS apt to encourage their continuance.
 But these customs; rooted in de- based and heathenish superstition fostering individual and tribal rivalry, evny, pride and ambition almost invariably associated with strong drink; seem to almost paralyze tue spiritual faculties for time. Social standing, positions of honor and influence depend on these customs. The time has not vet come when any amount of intellect, even or wealth, will gain social prestige equal to that of making feast and giving away one or two hundred blankets. A miss ionary can not make much head way in d village until he secures the support of some of the high caste, but the kigh caste are loath to giveup feasts for they receive the lions share of honors and the gifts.

Again the feasts and potlatches are always made for the opposite tribe, and are only made in payment of social debt, and place the guests under obligation to return the favor. Sn often we hear '' we must give this one but it will be the very last" but the last time has

heavy rain storm were on a near island drying their clothes.
 A delegation of home natives in four large canoes went over to see what time they might be ex- pected, and upon learning, came back to dress for the reception. All white people were asked to leave for the present. When the white people retired there were probably fifty yards of canvas raised as a shield behind which the main preparation went on. In a short time the strangers ap- preached. There were seven large canoes lashed side by side with twenty four in each. In the bow of each stood a chief dressed richly, and while the colors were somewhat extravagant, they were all worn gracefully. Each chief held beautiful silk flag, not lettingit wave, but holding the flag down to the staff.
 They came on slowly and when near the shore, stopped and all chanted one of their weird songs. At its conclusion the curtain on shore dropped. There was the figure of a huge whale, made of black muslin stretched over a frame, with fins and tail Hopping. Around this were several natives with large head dresses, representing DOT poise, seal and lizards. These all kept moving in a stopping pos ture around the whale. Behind these were about three hundred men and women dressed like the visitors in the canoes. They set upa chant. Those in the canoe answered. This was kept up un- til four songs were sung by each

A GREAT HELP
FOR SCHOOLS

A very large portion of the school
fund of Colorado is at the present
time SO invested that neither princi-
pal nor interest is of benefit to the
schools.
This condition arises from the for
mer custom of investing the school
fund in the ordinary warrants for
the expense of the state government
and from a sudden change, brought
about by a decision of the supreme
court, in the manner of applying the
income of the state to the payment
of its annual current expense.
BY the change referred to, these
warrants owned by the school fund
were left without appropriation for
payment. Their validity has never
been questioned. Most of them are
for the ordinary expense of the state
government for the years 1887, 1883,
and 1889.
The principal ts44S.5OS.21) is
school money, for the most part de-
rived from the sale of school and uni
versity lands. 1t is more than So for
every person of school age included
in the census of the current year.
This sum should. according to the
constitution of the state, be perpet-
ually on interest for the benefit of
the schools.
The accrued interest on this debt to
December 81, 1910, will be $685.
239.93 This sum, If recovered at
that time, will give to school boards
for immediate use S293 for every
child enumerated in the present CEN
sus. The annual apportionment of
state school funds is not yet one
half OF that sum. 1t is safe to say
that in the year of the recovery of
this fund there will be an apportion
ment equalling three times the
amount of the ordinary one.

the weapons with which Miss Grace

burglar and held him until the ar

Miss Gutenberg was retiring when
she heard a noise in the rear yard
of the house adjoining. Without call

Gutenberg raised a window shade
and looked out. As she did so she
saw man run toward the rear fence
in the adjacent yard. From a bureau
beside her she grabbed a shoe-horn

Stop, or I'll shoot"
The man glanced over his shoulder
and saw something shiny cleaning
in the hand of the young woman as
she stood silhoutted in the window
of the brightly lighted room. She
raised an alarm and kept the burglsr
covered until a policeman took him
in charge.

as Clifton itself. is being realized: /:
and, by the time this article reaches
the people. will be completed.
AS a result of subscriptions over
S100 was raised with which to buy
material to build a bridge across the
Grand Valley canal directly south of
town That this should be county
bridge is beyond question: but, since
county officials act so slowly on such
matters, the people took the PROPOSE
tion up themselves. The bridge is
equal to any of the county bridges,
and II is the hope of the promoters
that the county win take the bridge
over and pay the cost of construction.
II is needless to say that the vicin-
ity of Clifton has never received its
share of road and bridge money. If
a few of the $3.50 that are appropri-
ated to the Grand Junction Chamber
of Commerce for glass jars with
which to exhibit fruit were put on
the roads of Grand valley, the visit
ors coming TO our valley would be
more strongly impressed and would
enjoy riding out into the orchards
and take a look at the fruit az 1t
grows
We need to advertise, but we must
show the people the real thing when
they arrive. Let the county do the
county work, and if each district in
the Grand valley wants an exhibit at
Grand Junction we are sure there are
enough enterprising citizens to fur
nish the glass and the fruit.
Grand junction is growing and
needs advertising. Shall she get it
at the expense of the county?
We prefer our portion of the mon
ey being used some other way. Where
is Clifton's political pull? It's not
with the Clifton Whitewater bridge
nor with the Main street bridge.
Where is it? It's at Grand Junction,
no.
We deplore the fact that the poll
ticians and commissioners are so
near-sighted not to look into the
wants of a few of their nearby CON
stituents, for some day they will
wonder why their political grip has
loosened. the same as they have been
thankful in the past that a few lit
tie precincts changed the political
map of Mesa county.
Here is to the bridge across the
Grand Valley canal, for it means time
and dollars to great many ranch
ers. II the county will persist in
using the funds for things of minor

Fehringer, Confessed Night
Rider, in Davidson Jail,

Frank Fehringer, the self-con-
fessed night rider who was instru-
mental in the conviction Of the MUIR
derers of Capt. Quentin Rankin, was
quietly brought to Nashville last
Thursday night and is confined in
the jail. Fehringer was due here
last night, it is said, but owing to
the necessity Of protection he was
hurried in two days ago.
Fehringer, one of the alleged prin-
cipals in the tragedy at Walnut Log,
turned states evidence, aiding ma
terially in the conviction of the 9TH
ers. Since his confession he has
been protected from any bodily
harm from night rider sympathizers.
He is held here in the county Jail as
a witness in the trials to come up at
Union City next July. He asked the
governor 10 protect him and when
the soldiers left Union City he was

Horse Sense.

A horse is so constructed by nature
that he has no desire to do anything
which will injure his health. He
walks around whatever is not good
for him and without struggle. But
man is so constructed that whatever is
not good for him he wants to do, He
eats too much, and he eats too fast,
He drinks while eating, and there is
nothing proper that he does without
an effort. Why this distinction in 70
vor of horse? 1t may be said that
a horse has only instinct, while a man
has reason, which he should use. II
is pity that man was not given more
instinct and less eason.-Atchison

MEMPHIS CHURCH
Contest Carried to Federal
Court By Presbyterians'

Memphis, May 15.-The local con-
troversv between the Presbyterian
Church. United States of America,
and the Cumberland Presbyterians,
growing out of the refusal of many
members of the old Cumberland
PRESBYTERIAN church to stand by the
merger of the two churches, formed
in 1906, will be fought out in the
United States courts. The Court
avenue Presbyterian church, Mem
phis, threw down the legal gauntlet
by filing a suit in equity asking for
an injunction against certain per-
sons styling themselves "Cumber
land Presbyterians," or "loyalists, "
to prevent them from taking posses.
sion of the church property on Court
avenue, and that a receiver be APP
pointed by the court to hold the
property until the rights of the par
ties at interest can be decided.
The suit is brought by the Court
avenue Presbyterian church, United
States of America, which was recent
ly incorporated at Covington, KY,
for the purpose of taking this step,
against the first Presbyterian church
at Memphis, the style under which
the congregation of the Court-ave-
nue. church was formerly known; al
so against C. H. Walton, 7. H. Pag-
EFT, Richard Inge, W. P. Moore and
Charles Chamberlain who, it is al
legged, are seeking to obtain posses
sion of the church property, repre-
senting themselves as being the line
al descendants and successors of the
original Cumberland Presbyterian
congregation, to which the church
property was originally decided.

The advocacy of this policy has
been hobby with Mr.. Owens, and
it was presented as the one remedy
for our congressional ills.
The advantage possessed by the
north over the south in securing leg
islation, favorable to that section, it
was claimed was due to the fact that
the north elected a good man and
kept him in Congress, while we of
the south were continually changing
our representatives.
We accepted the logic as sound,
when originally presented by editor
Owens, and since have become a
Jealous convert to the doctrine.
Mr.. Stanley, though we'll equip,

when he entered the lower house
now, in less than six years, he ha,
made himselfa leader on the floor

Had he been defeated for re.elec
ton after the second year, and an
other, even of equal ability, returne,
