QUAINT Hymns.
For unreality OF sentiment in hymns
we must go back to the eighteenth
century. Here Is an instance:
All. lovely appearance Of death!
What sight upon earth is SO fair?
Not all the gay pageants that breathe
Can with a dead body compare.
1t seems strange that death should
have been the occasion for a touch of
unconscious humor In hymn. In the
collection entitled Hymns. Ancient
and Modern" there was and possibly
still Is the following verse:
They do not hear when the great bell
Is ringing overhead.
They cannot rise and come 10 church

unable to do might be indefinitely ex-

Giants and Dwarfs.

In the seventeenth century all the
abnormally large and small folks Of
Austria were assembled in Vienna in
response to whim of the empress.
As circumstances required that all
should be housed in one building, there
was a fear that the imposing proper
tlons of the giants would terrify the
dwarfs But the dwarfs teased and
tormented the giants so that these
overgrown mortals complained with
tears in their eyes, and as a conse-
quence sentinels had to be placed to
protect the giants from their pygmy
prosecutors. for the smallest men had
the biggest brains and the longest
tongues.

George Schillinger passed away

pioneer of this section and built the
first hOtel in Standish in 1872, which
is known as the Standish House. He
was also the first sheriff of Arenac
county and was a terror to all evil
doors, There are many stories told
of his heroism in carrying out the
law and in the arresting of the many
bad men of those days. At one
time he had taken in charge three
men, one Of whom was shackled, and
while at the depot one of the men
drew a gun and was about to shoot
the sheriff when the Bay City sher-
if, who was waiting for a train, shot
the criminal dead. Mr.. Schillinger's
death was caused by Brights dis

WITNESSES SEE
BIG LOSS
CLAIM THAT POST FALLS DAM IS
NECESSARY TO SAVE IN
DUSTRTES.
Experts Give Their Ideas ON Existing
Conditions.

Today j. G. Ralst n, city engineer
of Spokane, who testified at the
interior department nearing before
Register Batting yesterday, supple
mented his evidence with further OBJ
servations regarding the probable eff
fects of removing the famous bear
trap dam at Post Falls, and throws
considerable light upon the ever
growing Importance of Mr.. MacCall's
continuance.
ITO dam the Spokane river at
Post Falls and turn Occur d'Alene
lake into a natural reservoir for the
holding of water during the freshet
season to be forced out when needed
was far sightedness of great value
to the commercial and industrial
life, not only to the Panhandle of
Idaho, but the whole state and east
ern Washington as WE'LL" said Mr.
Ralston today. The dam Fas in
creased the flow of water from 1900
to 1000 feet per second during the
dry months of the year Should the
dam be removed this flow would be
reduced 40 per cent and each power
now or to be constructed in tandem
from Post Falls down the river would
be reduced in capacity in the same
proportion. This would affect the
commercial and Industrial situation
very profoundly which means not
only Spokane, but all industries now
served, but all to be served by power
generated at Post Fans.
Industrial prosperity is largely
measured by cheapness of power
Whatever the source of Spokane's
water supply, the power to pump it
to the higher zones of the city still
confronts US. With natures power
supply taken away, British Columbia
coal must be used. The interests of
Spokane are peculiarly tied up and
dependent upon the works at Post
Falls. 1t is the dream of the hy-
draulic engineer to BRING about con-
ditions whereby natural basins may
be made to hold the high water un-
til it is needed, for power, milling or
irrigation Purposes.
THE paramount interests of all
this vast territory with its 500. 900 or
100000 population, cannot be stulti-
fed by the interests Of the owners of
few acres of marshy land nor even
by the desire of the federal govern
ment, If indeed It has such a desire,
to interpose such questionable regu-
lation of a water way flowing through
an Indian reservation.
las well might the government step
in at the behest of surface owner
ship IN the coal fields of Pennsylva-
mia and jeopardize the great indus
trial interests of New York, Phila-
delphia and other large cities by
estopping the mining of coal be-
cause of the menace to surface in
terests due to the removal OF coal
from beneath their property.
Nothing would be more pleasing to
the Industrial interests of Ohio,
Pennsylvania. West Virginia and
New York than to see that form OF
federal regulation which would i'm
pose a tax on all western hydraulic
power, and so limit the life of such
investments. that they would not be
investing in eastern financial centers.
This handicap would of necessity
profoundly rebound to the benefit of
eastern financial ceEters and restrict
the otherwise larger activities which
