It is a awful hard job to think
up a new subjeckt for a editorial in
the Bugle every week-it is hard
er job than most folks have any
idea of. II our Subscribers thinks
that we set down in our sanktum
sancktorum and take up our edito-
rial pen and dash off a red hot edi-
torial for the Bugle each week on
the spur OF the moment they are a
good cal mistaken because we do
mot do so, we never have did so and
we never eXpeckt to did so.
SubJeckts for able editorials in
the Bugle do not come to us unso-
| lisited-we haft to think deeply and
Skratch our he'd and chew the end
/ OF our pen holder and cudgle our
editorial brains in order to dig I'D a
editorial subjeckt each week. Some
times it is a turrible mental struggle
and other times it is almost impos-
sible.
Our Subscribers seem to have a
idea that 1t aint 10 effort at all for
IuS to write a editOrial-our subsc-
kribers probly gets this idea because
when they read the Bugle editorials
the words flows along so smooth
and the editorial is so plain even to
/ a person almost dehshient in human
Inteleckt that, therefore, because
they are easy to read and under
stand they are easy for us to write.
The readers of the Bugle don't
seem to appreshiate what a awful
responsibility it is to write editorial
opinions for a vast number Of sub
sckribers who aint got no opinions
of their own-they don't seem to
understand what a important place
the editor Of the Bugle fills in this
world when he sets down on a 3
legged orffice chair and with no
other tools eXsept bottle of ink,
a rusty pen, few sheets of paper
and massive brain molds publick
opinion into whatever shape he
wants to mold it and turns the tide
OF publiCk sentiment from one di-
reckshion into the other by a few
strokes Of the pen.
Sometimes our Subscribers don't
agree with our editorial opinion but
that is their folt not ours-that is.
because they are defshient in intel
leckt and cant grab as deep into the
current topicks of the day as we
can. A Bugle subscriber ort to
hesitate a long time before disa-
greeing with our editorial opinion
he ort to post hisself up on what we
have wrote about instead of setting
his own'oplnion up against ours and

After Eph had took the paper home and

One evg Yves happened 10 drop into

said that President Roosevelt soon ex-

so interested in this news that he took

Work has begun in earnest on the

work. of the foundation was begun yes

completed, the boilers set and steam
raised. A "dinkey" road is being built
by Jones & Onse1ud, who have a con-
tract for the removal of some 100000
yards of earth. Two dinkey engines
and 81 cars are already here. A third
dinkey engine and steam shovel will
arrive the first of the week. One hun
dred thousand yards will be removed by
the steam shovel and 100000 yards by
teams. Part of the waste is for the fill
ing of the big dam and part is the re-
moval of quite hill and the leveling up

Zone need only to try his luck ar any
of the Riviera gambling palaces to
learn how slender are the chances to
win at roulette" says Il German CORE
spondent writing from Ostend But
if he would experience the gamblers
disadvantage at its best let him come
to Ostend and join the baccarat play
ers. The game as it is played gives
the man who places his money against
the bank no chance whatever and if it
were known how much money is sac
rifced in a season in the endeavor to
win by luck and by system the public
would be Mortified. 1t is nothing I'M
usual for the bank to win twenty-four
times before an outsider wins once.
The people who play, if they have ever
played before. know this, and still they
come again. respond to the call until
they depart and plant their gold in the
baccarat mire in the hope that it will
bear fruit. 1t does. But what is the
harvest?'

A Shocked Scot.

The London Chronicle says that two
Englishmen recently touring in Scot
land found that Sabbatarianism occa-
sionally extends to the middle Of the
week. They were forced by the wealth
er to take refuge in a small country
hotel and after lunch adjourned to the
billiard room to kill time until the rain
stopped. The game had hardly started
when the landlord entered in a very
drunken condition, upbraided his Wis
1tors for their unseemly conduct and
insisted on their leaving the billiard
room. They received profuse apollo
gies from the landlady. Her husband
always got drunk on Sundays. she
explained, but. installing the day. he
had got drunk on Thursday instead,
and from force of habit. believing it
was Sunday, had been shocked at the
click of the billiard balls.

Arrested in Newport

Probation Officer John Clifford has in
custody at the juvenile detention rooms
Emma Whipple, Is years old, and her
sister-in-law, Mrs George Whipple, who
were taken into custody at Newport a
few minutes after they landed there on
Saturday. The girl is the daughter OF
Mrs. Nellie Whipple, E4O Main avenue.
The girl was last seen by her friends
in conversation on the street with the
other woman. the wife of her own
brother.
Mrs. Whipple has not been living with
her husband for some time, and she and
Emma had not been on speaking terms
for some time.
When the girl disappeared in com.
pany with the woman the parents be.
came alarmed and at once instituted a
search for the missing pair.
1t is probable that charge of incor.
rigibility will be lodged against Emma
and the woman will be charged with
contributing to the delinquency of q
juvenile.-Chronicle.

Municipal Politics

The question of who will bel to guide
the destinies of the town of Newport for
the next two years in the capacities of
mayor and councilmen seems to be as
much up in the air as ever. The NUM-
cipal Improvement League, consisting
of those who favored the dry movement,
has committee appointed for the pur-
pose of deciding on candidates to be
proposed at the caucus to be held under
the auspices of the league. A call for
the caucus has not yet been issued, but
it will probably be held next Monday
evening.
AS yet there seems to be no concerted
movement for any one for these posi-
tions. 1t is generally conceded that the
management of the towns affairs and
the administration OF it's government
should be in the hands of men commit
ted to rigid enforcement of law regard
ing the sale of liquor. If Newport is to
be dry town the matter should be
given fair and thorough test.
MayorAppel and Councilman Hynes
and Bennett have given the town good
service, but as far as can be learned
have no desire to be candidates for a
reelection. A town treasurer is also to
be elected to succeed Fred Phillips.
During the past few DAYS considerable
pressure has been brought to bear on
M. Fox, ST., to induce him to stand for
the nomination for mayor of Newport.
While Mr.. Fox has not taken an active
part in local affairs, he is we'll known as
a good business man, and having served
for thirteen years as mayor of the Wis
consin town from which he came, has
had the necessary experience in the line
of municipal administration. He has
not vet signifed his willingness to ac-
cept.

The Duck Club Loses Its Case

The case of A. L. Weeks against Nancy
]. Desart, Emmett Desart and G. Il.
Finley has been decided in favor of the
defendants in the Spokane land office.
This is the case in which the Duck club
contested the homestead filings of Mrs.
Desart and son and G. H. Finley. This
land is situated at the upper end of CAL
ispel lake, and it was claimed by the
Duck club that it could not be utilized
for any agricultural purpose whatever.
There was uncontradicted testimony
that prior to building dam, at the
over end of the lake, a portion of each
claim was clear of water at certain sea-
sons of the wear, at which time such
land was used for cutting hay and for
pasture. The area in controversy was
plated as land by the U. S. surveyor.
The testimony further showed that the
claimants made entry of their claims
with the belief that they could and the
intention that they would drain the
land. That prior to the contest they
had co-operated with other persons in
the vicinity owning similar land, and
had taken steps looking to and endeav-
oring TO drain such land. The field
notes of the surveyor general state the
ground to be level. marshy ground which
is overlooked and becomes Calispel lake
in spring, but can be easily drained and
will become first-class agricultural land
Several parties testified that other
surveyors had advised them that this
adjoining land could be drained, and
that surveyors, at the time of the trial
were at work to ascertain the best meth
dds to be adopted in draining the same.

Forced to Quit School

Milton Moeser, son of Mr.. and Mrs,
VIM. Moeser. of this city. who has been
attending school in Spokane, and who
was injured on the head by a hard fall
received in football game, has been
forced to retire from school for time.
Physicians decided that he had undoubt-
edly suffered slight conclusion of the
brain, which had caused him to become
absent-minded and unable to concen-
trate his thoughts.
The doctors are of the opinion that the
boy will recover from the effects of the
injury after few weeks rest. He is
very fond of the dangerous game and
was making sensational record as
quarterback for the South Central High
school.

Rebuked the Bishop.

The bishop of Petersburg, England,
is great motorist and is also a
stanch teetotaler, and thereby hangs
a tale. On one occasion, while out in
his car, the chauffeur ran short of
petrol and applied at public house
for some more. The publican came
out, and. seeing the bishop in his
episcopal dress in the car, said: Eyes,
I've got plenty of petrol, but l don't
sell it to the likes of them what never
buys my beer"
