Mr.. Koch moved from Rathdr,p

After giving an account in detail
of his journey from Rathdrum to
Orland, Mr.. Koch gives an inter-
esting description of that part of
California. He has taken pains. to
get his Information from the old
settlers and has apparently en-
deavored to portray the country in
truthful colors.
The products of the region. he
states, are alfalfa, oranges, lemons,
figs, olives, grapes, eucalyptus

No More Loose Coins.

The postmaster general has made a
ruling to the effect that rural carriers
after February shall not collect
loose coins placed In mail boxes for
postage. Patrons will be required tn
place such coins In an envelope or
wrap them securely in paper. The
reason given for this change in the
regulations is that loose coins are
easily lost and that carriers lose time
in Collecting them when they are
placed loosely 10 the boxes.

MANY ATTEND MEETINGS
Evangelist Stephens breaches
to Large Crowds.
GREAT INTEREST AROUSED
Presbyterian Church is Crowded
Every Night.

l ne series OF revival meetings.,
conducted by Evangelist George
T. Stephens at the Rathdrum
Presbyterian church, commencing
the first of last week, continue this
week with unhagging interest. A
large crowd is in attendance each
evening from 7:3o until after 9.
All the available room in the
church is pressed into service to
accommodate the people. A strong
feature of the meetings is the song
service, large choir of young
people being enlisted under Mr..
Stephens direction and leadership
and it is a choir of which Mr..
Stephens has said Rathdrum
should be proud.
The evangelist, by the strength
Of his personality, his ability and
courage and the forcible manner
in which he breaches, has had no
difficulty from the beginning to
secure the interest of the people.
Persons of all creeds, and of no
creeds at all, have focked to his
msetings, to hear what he has to
tell them about the straight line be-
tween right and wrong, good and
evil, righteousness and unrightous-
ness; about the evil tendencies of
drinking, dancing and card play
ing, and scores of other things.
He also hits the pretenders, the
humbugs, frauds and hypocrits, in
as we'll as out of the church, and
whether or not those who hear
him can accept all that he says
from spiritual standpoint, none
seem to hesitate to speak in COM
mendation of his vigorous teach
ings which tend to the moral up
| lift of the people.
The sunrise prayer meeting last
Sunday morning was quite largely
attended. The morning and even
ing services and the afternoon
meetings for men only at the
Presbyterian church, and for wo-
men only at the M. E. church were
all largely attended. Various
children's meetings have also been
held. Mr.. Stephens has beer
assisted in some of these meetings
by the local pastors and by c. W.
Heath, baritone of Spokane, ano
Mr.. w. N. Marsh of Spokane whe
came here last week to talk ovel

SECOND CLASS POSTAGE
Congress May Give Matter
Some Consideration.
ONE CONSERVATION BILL
If Enacted Would Give President
Necessary Power.


Washington, d. G., February g.
The Indications point to serious con.
sideration being given by congress to
a proposition to establish \ zone sys-
tenn Of mail rates for second class
matter. 1t will be recalled that the
President pointed out In his annual
message that, whereas, the average
distance that newspapers are carried
Is 29l miles. the average haul OF
magazines is J,049 and that of mis-.
cellaneous periodicals 1929 miles
Testimony before the house commit
tee on postotlices and post roads has
brought out the fact that some OF
the largest concerns mailing maya
zines give their short haul business to
the express companies and their long
haul mail to the governments, which
probably accounts for the discrepancy
set forth by the President. Repre-
sentative Stafford of Wisconsin be.
lieves that the deficit on second class
matter could be largely wiped out
without infiicting undue hardship on
either newspapers or magazines by
establishing zone system of charges
Under such system the one cent
/ pound rate could be continued for
distance of, say, three hundred miles,
one and One.half cents could be
charged for double that distance and
so on to limit Of three thousand
miles.
Colonel J. Fl. White, Of Pittsburg.
| appeared before the house committee
on pensions recently and urged that
congress make statutory provision for
! pensions to Civil war prisoners of So
a day for every day they were deprived
of their liberty.
The senate committee on public
lands has reported TO the senate for
passage bill which lies at the very
foundrtion OF a broad and scientific
conservation policy. Even II con-
gress shall fail to pass the other eight
conservation bills recommended by
President Taft, the measure which
has met the favor of the public lands
committee insures large measure oi
protection for the public domain
against spoliation. 1t gives the
president authority to withdraw from
entry or settlement any public lands
which he may regard as valuable fol
forestry, water power sites, irrigation,
classification or other public purposes
The reasons for the withdrawal are tC
be specified In the order and the land
is not to be restored unless the order
OF withdrawal Is revoked by the presi.
dent or by congress. In the past
there has beet serious question of the
presidents authority, under the law
to withdraw portions of the public
domain from entry and settlement
The public lands bills as reported b,
Senator Nelson settles this question
There is every indication that th'
bill will become law at this session
of congress. Ii the other conserva
ton laws governing the sale or leas
: ing OF lands valuable for water powe
sites, national forests, irrigation, etc.
, should fail, the president will bav
power to make large Withdrawals ant
, thus preserve the natural resources D
. the nation until such time as con
gress is ready to adopt defnit
policy outlining the details OF tn
conservation program.
