THE Clearwater band has been en-
gagged by Kooskia to dispense the pat
riotic strains at the big 4th of July
celebration which that erterprising
little city is going to pull off. When
Grangeville gets few years more
growth, we may be able to maintain
band. AS it is, the money is forth
coming, but the harmony is short.
Isn't it remarkable that little village
Ike Clearwater can have iirst-class
band, that her citizens are proud Of,
and place of this size cannot? 1t
simply spells inharmony and jealousy,
the great drawback this town is suffer
ing from along more lines than one.

THE Lewiston Teller says there is
not the slightest foundation for the re-
port that the O. R. & n surveyors
have run lines up the Big Canyon
from Peck toward the Nez Perez
prairie, and that it does not appear
that it is the intention of the railroad
company to do so. The Teller may
be mistaken, you know.

THE democrats profess to believe
that the record the republicans are
making in congress on tariff revision
gives their party chance to carry The
next congressional election. Perhaps
it would, were it not for the record
the democrats are making at the same
time. Standpatters will feel satisfied
with leaving things to Aldrich and
Cannon, while true revisionists will
feel more like leaving revision to such
republicans as LaFollette, Cummings,
Nelson, Beyeridge and others. - Boise

The state of Idaho has to meet an
increased taxation amounting to $780,
600, says the Teller, but the tax levy
of the state is not raised. The sum
will be paid out of increased valua-
tons, and the levy was made necessary
by the increased demands of growing
institutions. 1t will be remembered
that when Gov Brady vetoed several
appropriation bills there was severe
criticism and howl from the oppoSi-
ton press because of discrimination.
The amounts vetoed aggregated some
thing like 500, 600, yet the several
divisions of the state wanting these
Improvements felt that they were JUST
fed in their demands. The fact is
that Idaho is growing and developing
and will, from time to time, demano
more and more money, not for want
on waste and display as has been and
will be hastily charged, but to keeT
pace with the natural increase.

The Shortest Day Of the Year.

Tuesday was the shortest day in the
year. From sunrise to sunset there
was Just 9 hours and "a minutes of sun
shine. Six months hence and the long
est day will be at hand, when the hours
of sunshine will be IA in number, not to
mention a matter of some "a minutes
besides.
Tuesday was the shortest day on the
calendar, yet there was but slight diff
ference between it and yesterday, when
the difference could be spaced by a
scant half dozen seconds. In fact,
there is but six minutes difference be-
tween December 13 and December 20,
the period when the sunshine in this 10
cality is registered at and 40 hours.
The weather forecast is for continued
cold weather, and there is very little
sign for anything other than a white
Christmas. The continual cold spell
has caused JOY in the hearts of the
youths and maidens and many are to be
seen daily hulrying to the river to
skate where red noses or cold toes do
not hinder them from having a good
time.

a CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

For this day is born to you a Saviour
who is Christ, the Lord. ii, IL.
Soon we shall be keeping the anniver-
sary of the greatest day that eyer
dawned on the human race-the birth
day of Christ. The day will recall the
fact thai ever wove itself into the web
of human history-the fact that the
Son of God came in the Iowliness Of
human nature to save humanity.
Christmas Day links together all the
dispensations of God in his merciful
dealings of mankind The old order
was time of preparation; the new one,
of fultilment. The one shows the finish
ed pedestal, the other the faultless
statue. What was promised to patri-
arch and prophet was fulfilled for us.
What they longed for we have. The
star which they stretched forth to see
has arisen and shines upon the pathway
of our hives in Him whose birthday we
keep. One thing is plainly written
down in the record of mans doings be-
fore the Messiah came, and this is that
evil abounds everywhere. The very
nations which marked the limits of civil
lization were sunk in the lowest depths
of deprayity, land the power of their
statesmen, the songs of their bards and
the wisdom of IT, ir sages could only
lead to lower depth Va wing to engulf
them. Rome had lost almost every
trace of sanctity of family life, and
Greece, with her Plato and Aristotle,
could not measure or understand the
dignity of simple motherhood. The
aged, the suffering, the helpless of
every class and condition cried in vain
to Rome and Greece for aid IN their dis
tress. Slavery was like weed grow
Ing apace, whilst there seemed on earth
no power to check its growth or curb
its enOrmities. And in truth there was
none
Meanwhile God, in the sublime height
OF unassailable purity, was thinking
thoughts of peace The iniquities of
earth cried to Heaven for Justice, but
the bOuntiful goodness of God sent
forth winged mercy, not to strike, but
to offer terms of peace and to save
And so justice and mercy met and
Pissed in the union of love, and the out
come was the birth of Christ, God and
mailman to pay the penalty of man 5
misdeeds and God to make the payment
of infinite value.
If there be today a spot on earth on
which honor is held in esteem and vir-
tue wins its reward, If there be in the
heart of man throb which beats in
pity for the suffering. the aged the
helpless, it is to Christmas Day it owes
its birth
Christmas then is a day of gladness
and mirth. Our watchword is Merry
Christmas. Christmas is a day when
wrongs should be forgiven and griefs
buried, when the glad tidings should
ring through every heart and through
every homestead that God has come
down TO man, that man may 90 up to

picked Up by John Flaugher with the
remark: Is it loaded?'

in direct line where Judge Keedy had
been sitting in chair and lodged in a
door.
The incident occurred in less than a
minute after Judge Keedy had walked
out. r. j. Hamilton and Detective

ICE HARVEST is ON
Vast Quantities Being Cut at the ParlE
and On Ponds and Streams.

The past week of extremely cold
weather when the thermometer lowered
almost the entire time about the zero
mark, has had the effect to form ice
from eight to ten inches in thickness
on streams, ponds and the lake at
Mountain LAKE Par.
Monday the ice harvest commenced
in all directions and Tuesday and vester-
day remained ideal for the purpose.
Local houses generally We're or are be-
ing filled with an excellent quality of
ice. At the Park a contract for up
wards of ten thousand tons for Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad company use,
is being filled as fast as steam and men
can cut and handle the ice. Tuesday
ten car loads were shipped from that
point to Brunswick and more than a
hundred tons were stored in the Asso-
cations ice house on the shore of the
lake

WORLDWIDE CHRISTMAS

Something over 1000 years ago from
the great dome of the universe where
swing the bells of destiny there sound
ed chime. Simple, as are all things
great; melodiOus, as are all things har-
mony, that chime, first heard on the
hillsides Of Bethlehem, has sounded
through the earth from end to end
peace on earth, good will to men. "
The sentiment that came clear as the
very essence of truth upon the ears of
. simple shepherds was the annunciation
that the world had waited to hear
During all the ages of history, from
times already remote, when the Shep-
herd Kings sat upon the throne of
Egypt, the world had been preparing
for the epoch when the strife should
give place to the notes of peace and the
world should turn from It's captains to
the release of its captives .
Perhaps the greatest lesson to be de-
rived from the Christmas theme is the
stroke of destiny it sounded IN the af-
fairs of men in relation TO the great
subject Of human rights. Prior to the
angel jubilation over Christ's birth
there had been no recognition given the
poor and unfortunate The weak and
the distressed received no consideration.
The world was held for the strong.
They should possess the EARTH they
should secure the trophies. Whatever
place the weak had in the world was by
the grace of the mighty. The rule of
the captains ranged back to the founda-
tons of Society. But when the carol
of the angels was heard upon Judea s
hillsides the rights of the captives came
into recognition. The one who was
born in manger was the Prince of
Peace. He came to set the captives
free. This was something new in the
history Of the world. 1t was destined
to be the great revolutionlzing principle
of all the ages. Those trained in the
school of the Infant who became the
Great Teacher were taught that they
that are strong should bear the infirmi-
ties of the weak Those who were not
disposed to accept the responsibility
were given to understand that in the
new dispensation the rights of all men
would be secured at every hazard.

Jesus was not an equalizer in the sense
ial estate. He was the equalizer in
raising al! men up to the same plane of
divine compassion. He swung wide the
door of opportunity, and, taking the
weak lamb as a symbol of necessitOus
human creatures. He exalted the poor
and struggling members of the human
family to place in the economy of God,
of equal regard with the more fortunate
Christmas is world wide, not in the
extent of its recognition, but in the ex-
tent of its influence. 1t is world wide
in the weight of principle it established.
1t is world wide in the personally of the
| Founder OF the Christian faith. As the
wise men with their eyes fixed upon tie
star that rose in the East journeyed 10
ward the theater of the worlds great
drama, so the wise men of the present
age turn their eyes toward the light of
the Life that star heralded. Science
has it's votaries, and they derive
thei" freedom of intellect from the
liberty that came with Jesus. Medl-
cine has its followers, and they derive
their healing ministries from the exam
pie of the Great Healer Philosophy
has its savants, and they take their
position for or against the position es-
tablished by the world framing doc
trines of Jesus. Literature finds in the
Holy Scriptures its great models, and
poetry delights to follow out the theme
of human interest that was impossible
in the ages in which human interest, as
now understood, was an unknown senti-
ment.
The Christmas star was a worldwide
omen in that it was significant of the
pure undimmed light of truth, of char
ity, of brotherhood. No other princi-
Piles so appeal to the world as those
that came with Jesus, or, at least,
which were made by Him the corner

the Truth shall set you free" when
the Spirit of Truth shall come He shall
lead you into all truth, for He shall
take the things of Mine and show them
unto you. " Where has there been any
other teacher who dared to affirm him
self the incarnation of truth, who ven
| tured to assert in himself the principles
of charity and of brotherhood? Yet
these are things that have moved the
lives of men ever since the great day of
the worlds faith.
1t is inconceivable that religion should
become provincializ3d with Jesus as It's
exponent. 1t is impossible that truth
shall ever be made the depository of
cult while He is its cOnservator. 1t is
incredible that brotherhood should ever
become CONSTRUCTED with Him filing the

Of the church, the day of grace, the
high feast of humanity, stands at the

day that symbolizes the progress of the
