The F'lathead reservation comprises
1,425,00O acres ON the west slope Of
the Rocky mountains in northwestern
Montana, tributary to Kalispen
modern city of 1900. This reserve has
long been the home of several thou
sand Flathead, KOotenai, Kalispell and
Pend Oreille Indians, noted for their
answering friendship for the white
people. These tribes claimed all the
lands in Montana, west of the main
range of the Rocky mountains and the
northern part of Idaho, more than so
years ago, when they entered into
treaty, by the terms of which they re-
linQuished certain lands to the gov
eminent They reserved the right to
choose certain lands for their perma-
nent abode, and in this they selected
the Flathead reservation, which con-
tains the largest body of fresh water
in the west,
The Occur d'Alenes chose a tract of
more than 100000 acres in the reser-
walton of the same name in northern
Idaho, bordering on the Washington
Idaho line, II miles east of Spokane.
The Spokane and Colville reservations,
100000 acres, are northwest of SpO-
kane. The land to be opened this year
is at the confluence of the Spokane
and the Columbia rivers, making ir-
rigatiOn possible should it be required
to apply moisture to the lands.
The Occur d'Alene reserve contains
what is declared to be the largest tract
of white pine left intact on this con-
tinent. Some of the quarter sections
are appraised by lumberm=n to be
worth not less than $4,000 while other
portions will be worth from 5000 10
$500 an acre under intensive cultiva-
ton. The land is south of. Occur

THE kIRM ESS.

Kirmess, all is Kirmess. Hubby" as
at a down town lunch counter or
waits every evening for his better half
at the front steps of the Y M. c. A
building may feel his even temper CIV
ing way to spasmodic irritation. But
the entertainment which opens June =
for three days will soon be over and
the citizen who manfully bore the tenn
porary upsetting of his household rou-
tine will ba glad he or his contributed
TO the success of the undertaking. The
entertainment will be varied and in
terestng and the object worthy in all
respects. The Kirmess is being man.
aged b ythe Women's clubs and the
funds received will be devoted to
public parks and other institutions
that need money for the good work
they are doing.
The women are taking hold of the
enterprise with the determination to
make it a success and all are working
as diligent as bees in their prepara-
tiOnS and their efforts are worthy of
support from all citizens of Walla
Walla. The past record of Walla Wal
las women is too well known to per-
NIT of the least shadow of doubt as
to the ultimate success of the Kir-
mess. The present condition of the
City park which is fast becoming not
only the most beautiful spot in the
city, but one of the finest recreation
grounds in the Inland Empire, is due
in great measure to the hard work
and unflagging zeal of the women. The
presentation to the city council of that
monster petition bearing the name of
a thousand women asking for water
for the park, marted the beginning of
a feminine" campaign for a better
and brighter city. Encouraged by their
success on that memorable day more
than year ago, the women have seized
every available opportunity to aid de-
serving institutions and have brought
every undertaking to a successful Gull
mination in a thoroughly systematic
and businesslike manner They have
awakened civic pride where it had
slept for years and drawn dollars for
charity from sources where only PEN
MES came before. Their latest en-
deaVor in putting on the Kirmess is no
less laudable than have been others
and should be encouraged by all in
terests in the city.
The kirmess has recently been the
vehicle for great good in other cities of
the northwest. In Portland more than
$4,000 was raised for the cause of
health in the battle against the white
plague, and turned over to the Mil
waukee Open Air Sanitarium. Tacoma
is just now putting the finishing
touches to elaborate preparations for
the Kirmess which it is thought will
eclipse any festival ever given in that
city.
AS plans materialize for the Kirmess
in this city nearly everybody will be
given chance to help in one way OF
anoth1r. Calls will be sent out later on
for flowers and practically every resi-
dent in the city can help in this respect
for there are few homes in Walla Wal
la that have no flower beds. Contribu-
tionS of this kind will be greatly ap-
preciated by the club women and con-
tributOrs may feel assured that their
gifts will be disposed of for a merito-
riouS purpose.

With all the Heart.

That was q timely word which was
spoken by President Hadley of Yale
University to the students on the first
Sunday Of the new college year. He
made plea for religion In the life, and
he uttered some strong and sensible
sentences. For instance: "a one
sided religion, which develops the head
without the heart, Is Of little use to the
individual or the world about him."
Religion, to be vital, must have heart
in 1t. Sympathy must flow from it as
cool, refreshing waters from woodland
fountain. Religion that gets no further
down than the head can have very lit
tie to do In Transforming the life. The
heart is the center of life. Religion Of
the best type Is the kind that has it's
chief source there. II one has to choose
between the religion Of the head and
that Of the heart he is sure to 60 astray
II he prefers the former; he is sure to
grow in the spirit and service of the
Master II he accepts the latter, and
organizes his life in accordance with It.

To the Muse In Autumn.

Awake, o Muse, from this dull letharRy
OF dOleful thoughts to sweet reality. :
The autumn spells not death, as thou dost
say.
IT'S not the harbinger Of drear disniay,
Forebodings dark, reflections dire and
sad,
But fitting time for themes both gay
and glad.
'Tis twilight Of the year, the eventide;
The time for heartbstones, genial aud
wide;
The time when blazing logs begin to
Their wondrous spells for weary ones
at eve,
When at the earlier setting Of the sun,
They pause to rest from labors nobly
done;
Refreshment-time that fitly leads US on
To dreary hours of rest, that come anon.
Awake! Be glad! Give doleful thoughts
surcease,
And sing the joys Of twilight and Of
peace.

What the Horse Thought.

The conversation turned on big feet,
when one Of the company said he be-
lieved his pal Smith would take some
beating in that line.
~ was out walking with Smith one
day when he slipped down with the
soles of his boots pointing to grocer's
window. The grocer rushed out to in-
quire who was putting the shutters up"
"That's pretty fair" said soldier
who was present, "but fellow In our
company beat 1t hollow. After sharp
fight with the enemy we were obliged
to retreat, when, on looking back, we
saw one Of our men standing upright
on the field. The fact was, the poor
fellow had such feet that he never fell
down when he was shot,
"Well," said horse dealer, who sat
IN the corner, that's rather tall; but
let me have q try. A fellow came
down to our stables the other day in q
hurry to hire horse for a journey he
was going. 'I'll have that one, said he
pointing to horse in the yard. why
there isn't man IN the world can ride
that animal said. He'll work in a
cart or plough, but no one can stay on
his back 'I'll try him anyway said
the stranger, as he sprang into the sad
die. l expected to see him pitched of. 4.
but the horse looked round, saw the
mans feet, and trotted quietly off. He
thought he was between pair Of

Secure Against Avalanche.

1t is quite possible so to adjust ones
plan of life as to prevent moral and
spiritual disaster. OF course evil is
around and about US all the time. But
it ia not at all necessary to be under the
influence Of 1t at any time. Indeed II
is quite possible to prevent the disas-
ter that always attends the avalanche
Of wickedness.
A railroad engineer was going over
his road with friend to whom the
wonders of the great mountains were
new, and the marvels wrought by the
engineers In constructing the road
seemed beyond belief. Why, thought
he, do not the slides Of snow and rock
tear up the track aud hurl 1t down in
to the valley below the right of way?
the engineer cleared up the matter for
him In this simple fashion: .'There was
a big slide," said the Man on the Job,
pointing upward, 'but we had figured
beforehand that it was likely place
for one. And when it came we were
ready.n He pointed again to where,
some distance above the track, a low,
heavy wall had been built, just at the
right place and the right angle to turn
aside the avalanche and make it pass
harInlessly off to, one side of the
roadbed.
Can you fit that to your religious life,
my young friend? The prudent Chris
tian will give himself over often to the
necessary task Of self-exainination. BY
this process he will discover where he
is weak. He will learn what his ten
denotes to evil are. Then he will begin
to protect himself against the incur.
sions Of evil. He will endeavor to lay
aside every weight and the sin that

DRINK AND TUBERCULOSIS.
The Excessive Uss q Alcohol Msi<ss
Man Prone 70 Infectious

A new light on the relation between
drink and tuberculosis appears In
recent study Of the reduction In the
mortality from tuberculosis now dis
cernible in the mortality ngures Of
New York. An article by the registrar
Of records. department Of health Of the
city OF New York. In the New York
Medical Record OF November. Is. 1906.
says: At every age group In boti.
males and females the proportion Of de.
crease Is considerable. with the excep.
tion OF the age group 4b-65 in the
males In which the reduction IL only
one per cent. The decrease is greater
in all age groups among females than
among males, with the exception Of
the ages under five and between ~
and IA: the reduction per cent. OF the
female mortality at all ages 10 55. and
that OF the males only 20. slightly
more than one-half that Of the fe
males. This is the more remarkable
when we consider that of late years
the female has taken up occupations
clsssed as dangerous from an infec'
tious standpoint, such as typewriting,
saleswoman. fower-mahng. feather
working, etc. Why should the rate
from this cause of death be almost So
per cent. lower In the female sex than
In the male? Exposure to the elements
on the part of the latter has been Of
fered as an explanation. and is true te
some extent, as the death rate from
pulmonary tuberculosis up to the
twenty-fifth year is almost the same IL
beth sexes. and in all ages above 2t
the rate among males Is greatly In ex.
cess. The abuse of alcohol is undoubt
ediy one Of the potent factors in rem
dering the male more prone to infec
tion and less amenable to- recovery
than the female; even the use OF al
cohol in the treatment Of tuberculosis
is being gradually discarded by the
careful physician Of to-day.

The next great reform OF the world
after the liquor and tobacco business
is disposed of, will be the debauchery
OF eating. According to some Of the
best physicians of the present time.
more than three-fourths Of all diseases
are caused by over-eating or by i'm
proper preparation Of food. The
world has gone on for hundreds Of
years paying very little real, ecientific
attention to what It puts into 5ta stom.

the whole race would have been ex.

its carelessness in the matter Of its
daily means. Probably the one great
sin of all unhealthy human beings
is the sin Of eluttony. According to
Mr. Fletcher and others Of his school.
the haste with which food IL taken into

The world seems unable tosconsider

the evils from drink and t6batco are
eliminated from civilization the whole
world will turn its attention to the
right kind of food. Its right prepare

1t is. perhaps. perfectly safe to say
that more than half Of the diseases

the race would learn and obey some Of
the commonest rules that belong to the
use OF food.
