1t was the third or fourth day out from

American arose from his deck chair, ex-

hands inquired after the health of the
newcomer, his wife and his children. AS
they had parted company only about
eight hours before in the smoking room.

Leases on State Lands.

In the Idaho state senate a
bill was passed limiting the leas-
ing of state mineral lands to fiji
teen years.
The passing of this bill proba-
bly, sounds the deathknell of the
Thompson lease on a tract of
5000 acres of state land supposed
to contain valuable deposits of
iron ore in the vicinity of Weippe.
Thompson and others some
time ago secured from the state
land board a 50-year lease on the
land in question. Since that
time numerous options have been
taken on individual tracts of land
in the vicinity of the 5000 acre
tract. The granting Of the lease
called forth a storm of protest in
the legislature and in the news
papers throughout the state,
which thought they saw some
thing unusual in the deal, and
Governor Brady announced that
he would take until March 18th
to consider the matter before
signing the lease.
The passing Of the 15-year lease
measure in the senate will likely
put stop to the exploitation of
the Weippe iron industry or at
least seriously delay operations.

China, with all its vast population,
boasts not quite two dozen daily pa
pers, but among them are the two old
est papers In the world. The Kin Pan
used TO be considered by Europeans
the Oldest paper, but it has been issued
a mere Thousand years. The Using Pao,
or Pekin News, was first published 500
years before the Norman conquest and
has been issued without intermission
for nearly 1,400 years. The Using Pao
has the appearance Of yellow backed
magazine Of twenty-four octave pages,
each page containing seven columns,
consisting OF seven 'characters"
Two editions are published-an edi-
ton de luxe for the court and the up
per classes at a cost Of "a cents a
month, and an edition inferior IN paper
and printing, costing 10 cents a month.
II has a circulation OF about 10000 and
is really the principal paper Of China,
chr0nicling the movements OF the en-
peror and OF the court and printing
the ministerial reports. 1t Is probably
the most exact newspaper in the world.
The punishment for an error Ia print
ing was until recently. at least, instant
death-New York Times.

the land is taken up because of
mineral deposits that may be
found underneath the soil, the
new owner must pay him for the
damage. Before he can take
possession of the land, the home
steader must be paid or condem-
nation proceedings must be
brought, so that it will no longer
be possible for the original pat
entee to lose.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
Idaho Has Direct Primary.

With only one dissenting vote
the senate passed the house di-
rect primary bill which will be
signed by Governor Brady. The
dissenter was Shoup of Lemhi,
son of the late United States Sen
ator Shoup, who said the people
of his county did not want such
a law.
The measure had a close call,
and but for the unwavering sup
port of Goodnight Of Nez Perez,
Rowton Of Idaho, and Shawhan
of Canyon, it would have been
amended, as the result of caucus
action, in such a manner as to
precipitate a fight between the
two houses and thereby prevent
action before the close Of the
session. In the course Of the de-
bate Whitaker gave the demo-
Gratis credit for aiding the ma
Jority in passing a vicious meas
ure. Il appeal to the demo-
cratic senators, said Whitaker,
are you going to treat this
question fairly? Are you going
to vote for this vicious measured"
Davis asked Whitaker to point
out the viciousness in the bill,
and the senator from Bonner re-
piled: 1t is a rich mans law,
vicious and inconsistent. If you
democrats We're honest you would
let as amend the measure, but
you do not want TO be honest.
You want to help the republicans
pass this measure. j am willing
10 let you have the credit for
giving the state this vicious
measure. II will make no differ
ence ln Bonner county. We will
give a republican majority la two
years just the same. {"
Shawhan objected 10 Whita-
ker's reference 10 the bill as a
democratic measure. Al Was IL
PRODUCED and passed by republi-
cans he said.
The measure Was not what n
should be, said Bowen, since Il
do not provide for Che Oregon
system Of voting for dc peoples
choice.

Ono of the Most Notable Scenes In
the History of the War.

Ono OF the Most notable ocones u"
the History of the War.
Men who saw the defeated general
when he came forth from the chamber
where he had signed the articles OF
capitulation say that he paused mo-
ment as his eyes rested once more on
the Virginia hills, smote his hands to-
gether as though in some excess OF
inward agony, then mounted his gray
horse, Traveller, and rode, calmly away.
If that was the very Gethsemane
Of his trials, yet he must have had
then one moment Of supreme, II chas-
tened, joy. AS be rode quietly down
the lane leading from the scene OF
capitulation he passed into view OF his
men-of such as remained OF them.
The news of the surrender had got
abroad, and they were waiting, grief
stricken and detected, upon the hill
sides when they caught sight Of their
old commander on the gray horse.
Then occurred one Of the most notable
scenes in the history of the war. In
an instant they were about him, bare
headed, with tear wet faces, thronging
him, kissing his hand, his boots. his
saddle; weeping, cheering him amid
their tears, shouting his name to the
very skies. he said: "Men, we have
fought through the war together. /
have done my best for you. Ny heart
is too full to say more.-From Rob
ert E. Lee, the Southerner."

The defeat Of the Kerns mine
owners liability bill in the leg
islature was notable victory for
the mining industry Of the state.
The only remarkable thing about
the action. however, was the
fact that the vote was SO close.
That it passed the senate and
came 50 near passing the house
is hard to credit.
