Fine Ride Despite The Rain


 MT. and Mrs. F. Matheson were host and hostess of avery pleasant canoe party on board the Big Chief Sunday, About seven-thirty the start was made from the float, and in just seventeen minutes the big canoe passed under the bows of the Star of England at the cannery. From there she was headed for the mouth of the river and "scooted" along in fine shape, Point Roth jay was reached, with it the river current, swollen 10 tremendous proportions by the unusually high water, and the crowed given q chance to see what the canoe could do in swift water. The results of the experiment were satisfactory in every respect, and there Is no question but that the Big Chief can negotiate almost anything that river steamer can. \ lit.le over three hours after leaving town An drew's place was reached, and stop made for lunch. After lunch the canoe was headed up ri CT un- til Popoff glacier was reached, when the rain compelled the cur tailing of the trip, much to the dis appointment of the crowd.
 The run down the river was made in less than an hour, the canoe simply flying Past the banks, and the rest of the trip home was made in good time, so that the float was reached before five o'clock.
 And so 1t was that the faith of those instrumental in the remodel ing of the canoe was vindicated or the boat certainly delivers the goods" " She is fast and sea- worthy and should be a money maker during the tween steamer periods.
 Those enjoying the trip were, Nr. and Mrs. F. Matheson, MT. md Mrs. F. C., Miles, MT. and Ms Harry Gartley, MT. and Mrs. :. D. Cheney, lIr. and Mrs. Rich a d Bushell, IT,, Miss Bronson.

II was agreed by the attorneys that
an appeal 10 the highest court would
in all probability result In reversal
OF Judge McPherson's ruling. Attor-
ney General Major said he would i'm.
mediately ask the Legislature for an
appropriation of $4,000 with which to
prosecute the appeal. The records OF
the two cases will be printed under
the supervision OF the clerk of the
United States supreme court. and It
is estimated they will require II 900

Governor Hadley did not participate
in the conference though later he
conferred with both Mr.. Lehman and
Mr.. Laid. Both the governor and the
attorney general are determined to
fight for the two laws to the last.

Dynamite Dispiaces Pillow.

The soil is rocky and hard to pillow

both philanthropic and patriotic. Ger
tainly that is the light in which It pre-.

been supposed that there could be
nothing better than the bessemer prod.

Mrs. Madison and Mrs. Monroe to find
a first lady with the social graces and
hosptable impulses Of Mrs Theodore
Roosevelt.
Official society in Washington has lost
its last touch of provincialism since Mrs
Roosevelt assumed the leadership. The
levees at the White House remain simple
and unpretentious from the old world
standard, but they have acquired dig
nifty and elegance not at all incompatible
with democratic principles. That the man.
sion where the President resides stands
apart from the presidential Office and has
acquired the stately residential air which
becomes the home of the chief executive
Is entirely due to Mrs. RooSevelt's initia-
tive Before her time the mStreSses of
the White House were content to share
the home with the vast office-seeking pub
lie and the public servants brought daily
to consult with the President.
Mrs Roosevelt according to her own
statement, in seeking the remodeling OF
the White House was inspired less by a
desire to place the residence on equal
terms with other great mansions than
to shield her small children from public
contact. Her principal anxiety after COM
ing TO the White House was that her little
ones would become spoiled by SO much
adulation. for from the beginning the
Roosevelts, great and small. have min
eled freely with-the pOpulace. One OF
the pretty sights in the early days was to
see the boys hobnobbing with the messen-
gers and ushers and hearing all about
the former Presidents. Kermit, now a dig

who are in high official society could
show such an admirable use of stray mo
ments.
Mrs. Roosevelt has enjoyed the inn
munity which extends to the first lady of
the land of making no calls officially
though she has visited informally among
her friends. The friends she made years
ago are still her friends. Though she
could not because of the peculiar condi-
tions which hedge official society make
them prominent in the White House, she
visits them regularly. and they are at all
times made heartily welcome. Besides
being an intellectual woman, fond OF
music, art and coed books. Mrs. Roosevelt
is thoroughly religious, and she Is stern
in her disapproval of the non-conformists
or the materialists who are having such
a vogue She has always attended the
Episcopal Church, and her inclinations
are rather toward the conservative than
the ritualistic or high church as the &C.
clesiastical cognomen. She mas been
communicate of ST. Johns in Washing
ton. at varying intervals for the past
twenty years. In Albany she attended st.
Agatha $ and at Oyster Bay she and the
children go to the small church there with
great regularity. But only Miss Ethel is
a regularly established member of the
Episcopal faith though the boys fire.
Quently accompany their mother in Wash
ington and at Sycamore Hill. But the
RCOsevelts from time imme mortal have be-
longed to the Dutch Reformed Church.
and there is no doubt that the Presidents
sons will follow the faith of their fathers.
They have, however, never Joined the
Dutch Reformed, though young Theodore
