PARK FOR PRIEST
RIVER FOREST RESERVE
National and Interstate, in Ida
no and Washington.
Has in Past Been Great Resort for
People From the PaIouse Seeking
Communion With Nature, and to
Hunt and Fish Grand Scenery.

movement is on foot to establish a
national and interstate park in the
Priest River Forest Reserve, taking in a
part of Priest lake. 1t lies in Idaho and
Washington, and is rich in scenic beauty.
The Statesman-Index. published at Col
vile, says the Priest river country is one
Of natures best specimens in the North
west, and the scenic beauty of the lake
and it's surroundings has appealed to
many lovers Of nature who camp on it's
shores each year. The conservation
theory, which is popular in the Inland
Empire, may take practical turn with
the establishing of national park at
Priest lake.
An appeal will be made to congressiona al
and senatorial representatives from Ida
ho and Washington to intercede with
the government for part of the Priest
river forest reserve to be set aside as a
national park.
Parts of the reserve are covered with
heavy growth Of timber through
which a buggy might travel Tor hall @
day in heavy rainstorm without the
top of the vehicle so much as getting
wet, the rank foliage Of the tall timber
acting as an umbrella.
A portion of the reserve probably
represents some Of the finest standing
timber in the west, which, under conser-
vation, will present to future generations
what was once the nature Of the forests
which clothed the mountains on the
backbone OF the continent.
The region embraced within the pro-
posed interstate park has in the past
been a great resort for people from the
PalOUse seeking communion with nature,
and to hunt and fish. The park system
will add to this rather than detract from
it, possibly rules being established to
protect Wild game, which is now threat
ened with determination.

FATHER EELLS-AN APPRECIATION

in his saddlebags, would wrap his blanket
about him and lie down to peaceful sleep,
with the assurance that his horse would
remain near him as body-guard. The
steady tread of the great hoOfs and the
appreciative crunchiDg Of the succulent
bunch grass made deep and pleasant
reverberation to the ears OF Gods good
man" as be drifted into dreamland. In
the rooms OF the Historical Society at
Tacoma stands LA Bias" equipped with
the same saddle, bride, saddlebags, etc,
which be wore during his days Of active
service with the master.
The horse was very tall and powerful,
and the man was very short and slight,
but erect and active and always OF a
scrupulous neatness. His light brown
hair and beard, literally touched with
gray, we're closely clipped, and his eyes
we're bright and penetrating. He was
quick of movement but very slow and
deliberate OF speech-no hesitancy about
what he wanted to say, but extreme care
fuIness as to how it should best be said,
and to those who now lovingly treasure
the memory OF his visits it seems that
be was especially gifted with the faculty
of saying the right thing in the right
place.
The same care which governed his
speech also governed his every act. He
was painstaking and systematic to the
last degree, always thoughtfully count
ing the result OF his actions before COM
mitting them. That he was possessed
OF wise and far reaching insight into
the future is proved by the success OF the
enterprises which he conceived, this
weeks celebration at Whitman College
marking the greatest of these.
"Is it past midnight" asked Father
EelIs OF the loving watchers at his bed
side when bis spirit hovered near blessed
eternity. Eyes, it is morning" was the
answer. "Then it is my birthday. L
have lived to be eighty three years old"

Howard raised his hand for her
to desist.
"Annie-please," he pleaded
That's the fact, isn't it?" she
laughed.
No"
His wife's head dropped on the table.
She was crying now.
I've made a hard fight, Howard"
she sobbed, but I'm going to give up
I'm through-Tm through"
Howard took hold of her hand and
carried it to his lips

feeling, Il may be weak, 1 may be
blind, but nobody on top of Gods green
earth can tell me that you're not the
squsrest, straightest little woman that

for good motive, wouldn't it? Let
them talk all the bad of you they want

claimed. Yes, l know you believe in

ously as if wondering what her an

and then slowly she said:
Il think-you had better co."
You don't mean that" he ex-
claimed, in genuine surprise
She shook her head afirmatively.
Yes, l do" she said; your father
wants you to take your position in
the world, the position you are entitled

Howard drummed his fingers on the
tablecloth and looked out of the win
