Local Happenings


Louise Hicks went over to Nampa the
first of the week to attend the carnival at
that place.
Mrs Myrtle Shea passed through here
Monday on her way to Nampa to visit
with her relatives.
Mrs. Ida Moe left here for her home in
Caldwell, last Saturday, after a months
pleasant visit with her mother, brothers
and other relatives of this place.
Harry Beach and Sam Fraser, who
have been employed at the Trade Dollar
for a long time, took their departure from
here yesterday, the former going to De-
troit, Michigan, and the latter to Nova
Scotia.
Mr.. and Mrs Tom Barnes and children,
who for good many years have made
their home in Dewey, where he was en-
ployed by the Trade Dollar, took their de-
parture from there this morning (Friday)
and will return to their old home in
England.
Nugget apologies to its many readers
for being one day late this week and for
the general appearance Of this moral
sheet and we viii try and do better here
after. We were in hopes of printing a
table of the complete returns of the cleo
ton, but onr plans have been handicap
ped by the returns not coming in from
all the precincts.
The dance given last evening by the
miners union was success from every
point of view. In our last issue we stated
that the occasion of the free farewell dance
was the abandonment of the union. This
is not true, but was given out of respect
for their members in Dewey, who are
about to take their departure from here
owing to the shutting down of the Trade
Dollar

not cost over $40 year. BY living to-
gether on cooperative plan students
may cut their monthly expenses down to
about $l4 month.
Those who desire to attend the Normal
but who feel that they cannot because Of
lack Of funds, viii be glad to know that
there is "a way by which they can obtain
higher education. Every year Normal
students are given the opportunity to earn
their board by living with private fami-
lies and doing light housework in return
for their room and living More than.
twenty-five girls earned all their expenses
last year in this way. Miss Anna w.
Lytle, dean of women, sees that the girls
are placed only in desirable Christian
homes. She will be glad to correspond
with any who are interested. This is an
opportunity which the young women of
Owyhee County, who feel that financial
reasons would prevent their attendance
at Lewiston, should not overlook.
Lewiston is an ideal place for study.
The winter climate is exceptionally mild,
closely resembling that of California.
The State Normal at Lewiston will open
September u. Two special sleepers re-
served for students from south Idaho will
be attached to the regular west bound
train leaving Nampa, Saturday afternoon,
September 10, going through to Lewiston
without change or delay, arriving Sunday
morning, September II.

The Provincial East.

A writer in New York paper says
that westerners are more fair in their
criticisms Of the east, than the east is Of
the west.
This has always been true. When Cali
fornia, after the gold discovery, was SO
swiftly settled and became state; though
it was clear that there was gathering to-
gether there Of the brightest young men
of all the states; the east, with its inn
penetrable egotism assumed that the peo-
pie were made up of class which it was
the duty Of the people OF the east to look
down with pity upon. This seemed to do
them a great deal of good, they patted
themselves on their stomachs when they
considered how considerate they were
toward the semi -barbarians Of the far
west, and they hug that delusion to their
souls still. Mr.. Cleveland was notable
example of that class. He managed once
in a private car to 60 as far west as Kan
sas City, and we suspect that as long as
he lived, he looked upon that journey as
DR.. Cook does upon his northern jour
neying-if he did not reach the end of
the earth, he went beyond any place that
any interest attaches to.
But no matter. 1t was of another view
of the east that we set out to consider.
This same writer, referred to above, in
his article says:
Fasteners go abroad very few, in
comparison, see their own country, but if
they only knew how .e erely Europeans
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1910-09-01


criticise them when they cannot answer
questions about Niagara Falls, Yellow
stone Park and other world famed places
in the United States, they would take the
next boat for America =
BY that it seems that it is time now for
westerners to pity their opinionated but
awfully narrow and provincial eastern
friends.
They get some money, buy first class
ticket on steamer, 60 to Europe, visit
the fashionable places, make flying run
over a dozen states in three months, and
return so filed with information that
their own wonder is that they can hold it
all, and never dream that the opinion Of
cultivated Europeans who conversed with
them was that they were paryenues, with
no special mission on earth except to
make clear what God thinks of money by
the class of people he sometimes permits
to accumulate or inherit it.
But what we would especially call at
tention TO is how much more these same
people would enjoy European trip, if
they could first obtain some real knowl-
edge of their own country. Suppose they
could make an intelligent comparison be-
tween the Rhine and the Danube and
the Niagara and Columbia; or between
the Alps and the Coast range and Sierra;
or between the grandest 7sonntain scenery
of Europe and the Yellowstone and Yo-
semitic; how much their pleasure would
be enhanced, how much more respect
would they draw to them from foreigners
they might come in contact with If they
only knew that day light journey from
Los Angeles by the Coast Route to San
Francisco, and thence by the California
and Oregon road to Portland and on
to Puget Sound, would be the beginning
of new education TO them, we doubt
whether they would make the journey,
because their heads are not shaped right
to cause them to desire such knowledge
And they are the company that are to
supply more of the American race for the
next generation.
Our belief is that the government
should have prepared more thorough
physical geography for the use OF eastern
schools, and make its thorough study
compulsory, just for the credit Of our
country abroad. Our shoddy tourists
would at least have snattering of know
ledge of their own country, and be little
better fitted to become the fathers and
mothers of race of men and women.
And this does not apply alone to the
shoddy rich. There are professors in
eastern colleges and advanced schools,
who can read the Iliad in the original
Greek, but who could not bound vest
ern state to save their lives, and who
know less of what work has gone on to
redeem the wilderness west Of the Missis-
sippi than they do Of Xenophon's march
to the sea.-Goodwin's Weekly.

The Lewiston State Normal
School.


At this season Of the year, parents who
are considering sending their children
away to school in order that they may
obtain the advantages of higher educa-
tion should not overlook the fact that the
Lewiston Normal offers very exceptional
opportunities. A Normal training is
doubly profitable, because it not only
gives one an education, but at the same
time fits one for the profession of teach
ing.
Two distinct courses are offered at Lew
iston: the academic and the professional.
The academic course is three years in
length. Those who have finished the 9th
grade may take this course and finish
four years Of high school work in three,
and so save full year. The professional
conrses vary from one to two years in
length. Those taking the one year course
receiving first grade five year certificate,
while those completing the full two years
course are given life diploma recognized
not only in Idaho, but also in California,
Montana, and Washington as well.
The equipment of the Lewiston Normal
is the most complete of all the NormaIs
in the Pacific Northwest. During the
past two years four new buildings have
been erected: a central heating plant,
$4,000 domestic science building, $32,
900 gymnasium, and $40, 900 dormitory
A large administration building is used
for class instruction. A library of more
than 5000 volumes gives ample facilities
for reading and reference work.
The faculty is recognized as being a
particularly strong one. Each one of the
twenty-five faculty members is a gradu-
ate of an eastern university, such as To
ronto, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Harvard,
Princeton, Columbia, Nebraska, Am
herst, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. Each
one is specialist in his or her line of
work. There is no institution in Idaho
that has stronger faculty than the State
Normal at Lewiston.
Last year 272 students were enrolled.
This year there will probably be 400 en-
rolled. Every section of Idaho will be
represented, as well as eastern Washing
ton and Oregon. So great is the reputa-
ton of the Lewiston Normal that each
year students go to Lewiston from points
as widely separated as Seattle and Twin
Falls. Last year one student came from
Minnesota to Lewiston expressly for the
purpose OF attending the Normal This
year students are coming even from
Michigan. The Lewiston Normal attracts
students from great distances because of
its deserved reputation for doing excellent
work.
The expenses incurred at Lewiston need
not be great. Board and room may be
had at the dormitory for SIS month.
There is no tuition fee and books need

Beaded Ornaments

" HE decorative value Of fringe and

broidery needle. Net is the most salts
factory foundation. On this are sewed
beads in scroll or conventional flower
design. Stitches in 'Iazy-dazy" or I'M
padded French over-and-over, made by
using soft embroidery floss in the same
color, follow these bead designs. An
effective touch Of color is often intro
duced when floss to match the gown is
used for the petals of flowers and mock
jewels for the centers OF conventional
lied figures. A bit Of ribbon work en-
hances the beauty Of one of these
beaded ornaments and emphasizes the
color note Of the whole scheme.
