The Spirit Of Liberty.

II was In the town that modern de-
mocracy had its rise. Despite all the
efforts Of the kings and barons to pre-
vent It. the spirit Of liberty began to
assert itself in the larger towns In the
shape of the charters which guarantee
to the people certain commercial and
political rights-rfghts which. once OBJ
tanned. were never to be surrendered.
Before the middle Of the eleventh CEN
tury there were many of these "char.
tered" towns which possessed the
right of electing their own magis-
trates. sheriffs and judges and regulat-
ing their own taxes. The wretched Herfs
from the country we're welcomed by
the townspeople and aided to larger
freedom. These free towns were drst
known in Spain. from which country
they slowly spread over Europe. The
burgesses naturally offered protection
and freedom to all who would dee to
them from the feudal estates. and thus
slowly. but surely. the good work went
on until the ancient despotisms were
destroyed.-Arena.

The Boy Scouts.

The greatest parade and review
OF Boy Scouts Of America occurred
in New York on Septe mber IS.
The movement is tremendously
intoxicating and is spreading itself
like a contagion through the juven-
lie population of this nation.
Ernest Thompson Seton started
the movement and General Robert
Baden Powell. the hero of the
Boer war, took it up will, the idea
Of encouraging the boys to enlist
for the inevitable coming war with
Germany. The military instinct
is naturally predominant in boy,
and has heretofore found but inn
perfect expression in such organi-
cations as the Boys Brigade, the
Epworth Guards and other Sun
school adjuncts.
1t is in no sense irrcverent to
say that the church must keep its
hands of this splendid movement
among our American lads. 1t is
not a religious movement, but a
great national movement of the
most stupendous moral value. 1t
means new and wholesome out
let to the restless animal spirits Of
our boys, keeping them out of
doors, training their senses back
to some approach to what nature
intended them to be and affording
an opportunity whereby their
virlle, restless energies may be
absorbed by the air and the sun
shine and the quest Of adventure
instead of the degenerating asso-

TO SAVE BURNED TIMBER
Commissioner Day Would Store the
Logs in Reservoirs.

State Land Commissioner Geo.
A. Day, after an inspection OF
burned over forest areas OF nor
thern Idaho, states that the only
way in which the bulk Of the killed
timber can be saved is by the con-
struction of reservoirs in the noun
tains to store water in which to
immerse the logs until they can be
sold or disposed of. He believes
it is possible that the state and
national government may adopt
this novel plan, and that work may
begin early in the spring.

now in good condition, but will

Brady States Position.

Governor James H. Brady, in
his speeches replying to attacks
against the state land board by
democratic speakers, has stated
that he has never, himself, ac-
quired any Carey Act lands nor
sought to profit by any state land
deals, nor is he accused of any
transactions Of that nature; but he
admits that other state officials
have acquired tracts OF land under
the Carey act projects. He says
he has opposed the practice, al.
though there is no state law against
acquiring Carey act land by the
members Of the state land board.

TWO RARE METALS In IDAHO
ursnium and Tantilum Discovered
in Custer County.

Great possibilities for Idaho lie
IN the recent discovery OF a large
percentage of uranium and tanta.
lum in huge deposits Of ore in
custer county, reported Friday by
II. c. Willis, a we'll known mining
man. The valuable metals were
found in the gravel wash in placer
work in the central Idaho mining
district, the property being located
in the southwestern end Of Custer
county in the district Familiarity
known to miners as the upper
Salmon river country.
The ore was brought down to
Boise in August and after exhaust
i've analysis by an expert the
returns have just been made show
ing that the ore carries IA different
metals, the most valuable Of which,
according to the percentage. are
uranium and tantalum.
The significance of this dis
covery is grasped when it is real
lied that today the most important
hardening metals used in steel
processes for commercial purposes
are uranium and tantalum. Uran-
ium is used not only in metals and
steel work, but also in steel work
and hardening, similarly to van
adium and manganese.
The United States Steel cor
poration, familiarly known as the
steel trust, draws all Of its van
adium not only makes steel hard,
but very pliable as well, and it is
one Of the rarest valuable metals.

VICTIMS LIVE
ONE DAY
If Boat Gould Have Been
Raised at Once, Half
Grew Would be

(By United Press Leased Nire)


CALAIS, June 1.-THE men of
the sunken French submarine Plu.
viose, who were in the inner COM
partment of the little craft when it
was sunk by the Vile de Calais May
as, lived a day after the collision
and slowly strangled to death. The
men in the cutter compartments,
which We're ripped open, were
either mangled so that they died
instantly or drowned.
This report was made by the sur
geons who examined the bodies of
the officers and crew of the sub
marine.
While the divers from the French
warships were working on the sunk
en- craft to raise it, the men in the
inner compartments amidships
were slowly dying. The investiga-
tion proves the report that tapping
by the imprisoned men were heard.
Belief was expressed here that if
the submarine had been raised at
once half the crew of 27 men would
have been saved.

WATER IS
ALLOWED
TO WASTE
End of Main Left Open,
Millions of Gallons
Escape.
CAUSE

For hours last night millions Of
gallons of water poured from the
open end Of the new 30-inch city
force main, laid to Freya street and
Harrison avenue, causing the waste
OF water sadly needed to relieve the
scarcity now prevailing in some sec
tions OF the city, entaiIing a heavy
loss in the caving in of an immense
Itch, dug to receive the force pipe.
1t is presumed that some en-
ploye of the water department
pulled the wrong lever and turned
water that was Intended for some
other main into the one with the
open end. Soon the big ditch, that
was II feet deep and four to five
feet wide and extended whole
block, was filled to overflowing and
the water rushed down the hillside
to the ravine below.
There was no fater this morning
as early as $50 on portions of the
North Monroe hill. There was none
yesterday for good part of the
day. The officials of the water de-
partment say that one of the new
pumps will be installed within
week or 10 days, but that it will
take 10 days more for the pump to
timber up. In that event there will
be no relief for the Monroe hill
folk, under the present division of
the water supply, until about
July /.
In the meantime the water con-
suners on the north hill can burn,
scorch and bake, so far as the water
department is concerned.
People of the north hill are re-
calling with great deal of irony
the placards that We're posted on
the pine trees in that section a lit
tie over a year ago. that read:
Vote for Mayor Pratt and Get
Water" Many of them swallowed
this bait, but now, with parched
throats, are repenting at leisure.

Porter Charlton was younger
