BULK OF HIS TRADE IS
DONE IN THIS VALLEY
Building Material Salesman Tells OF
Experiences in Yakima and also
His Idea of P:sco

TwO-thirds of all the business ]
did last year az salesman of build
ing material was done in the Yak
ina valley" said J. W. Martin OF
Portland, while at North Yakima.
Il wasn't surprised when I made
up the totals but my house was and
couldn't understand it. And l
want to tell you Of a little town
that you all laugh at that has you
all backed to the wall when it comes
to growth, and that is Pasco. You
fellows can laugh and say what you
like about Pasco and declare that
there never will be anything to Ken
newick, but l want to tell you to
forget it. Those towns are growing
and every salesman on the road will
tell you so. This valley is one of
the pest places in the country and
those two towns are the heaviest end
of it right now.
II do not think that the bust
ness in my line will be as heavy
this year as it was last. / see no
indications of it at the present time.
1t will be a good bushes, however,
better here than in other parts of
the northwest and development will
continue, there is no question of

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT
LAUNCHED IN kENNEW|CK
Committee of Seven Business Men
Chosen Directors with f. l.. Ely
AZ ScOutmaster

On Wednesday night twenty
seven boys, full of life and spirits,
met with a committee of business
men to organize the Scout move
ment. The idea is not more than
three years old. 1t spread like
wild fire over England, Australia,
New Zealand, France, Germany and
other countries. There are thous-
ands of Boy Scouts il the eastern
states and the boys of Kennewick
are anxious to he abreast Of the
times.
A committee consisting Of Messrs.
Lockerby, Moulton. Schultz, Bart
lett, Wettlaufer, Lynch and DR..
Hewetson met in the Club rooms,
and discussed plans for the organi-
cation. Mr.. +. l.. Ely was unani-
mously chosen Scoutmaster. Mr..
Ely is popular with the boys and
takes much interest in directing
their energies.
Every man Oh the committee will
meet with the boys and with Mr..
Ely on Monday night at S O'Clock
sharp in the Commercial Club room
to perfect the organization. Patrols
consisting Of eight boys each will be
arranged. The boys in each Patrol
will elect n leader, who will be re-
sponsible to the Scoutmaster. The
first duties of the Scouts will be to
become proficient in Scout law and
the rules and regulations of the
order.
Any boy between the ages of
twelve and eighteen may become a
Scout. For the sake of timid souls
1t may be said that the Scout move
ment contains nothing unconstitu-
tional or revolutionary. It's simply
az outlet for the restless energies of
boys an attempt to direct these en-
ergles into useful channels.

Always Comes Back. :"

In times of depression, in seasons
when there is a panicky feeling in
financial circles, mining is always the
first to suffer, and the last to come
back" We do not know why this is so
but such is the case; and yet IN no
other industry, in no other occupation,
are the returns SO great, so much big
money made, as in mining, says the
Salt Lake Mining Review.
For four years, now, mining has
been tabooed by many who were en-
Enthusiastically engaged in this pursuit
prior to the panic. Asked for good and
sufficient reasons for this attitude; this
class could not say that they had "cold
feet" because of any failure on the part
of mining to pay big dividends; or be-
cause there was any lack of big strikes.
or disappointment in mine and prospect
development. Some have said that
they wanted something safer" They
have turned their attention to manu-
featuring enterprises, to farming, to
irrigated lands, to dry farming, and to
many other pursuits concerning which
they knew but little, if anything. But
the majority have signally failed, and
to such an extent that their enthusiasm
is beginning to wane, and they are
slowly but surely recalling the days
when they made small fortunes in min
ing, when they put in one dollar and
took out ten. Mention farming to
them, now. and they look sour. But
let a word drop concerning mining OPP
erations and their ears begin to prick
up like a burro's when he sees his
master coming out of his tent with a
barley sack in his hand
Like every other occupation or pur-
suit, interest in mining comes ard
goes in cycles. Industrial investments
have touched the high spots and are
now declining. Mining hit the rough
places, and hit them hard, year or
two ago; but its star is now in the as
cendant, and few months more should
show an interest in this industry which
will eclipse the marvellous record it
made several years ago.
Mining can ''come back" and it will.

Praises Lewiston Normal.

The JOINT committee of the senate
and house, appointed to investigate the
educational institutions of the state,
made very careful investigation and
as a result accorded high praise to the
Lewiston State Normal The report
relative to the Lewiston Normal was IN
part as follows:
your committee made a careful in
vestigation of the needs of the Lewis
ton State Normal School, the character
of the educational work being done and
the training department, and we found
that the institution at the present time
is working within the provisions of its
charter Under the efficient supervi-
sion of George H. Black, president,
the Lewiston State Normal School has
obtained high standing, its graduates
being placed on a level with those of
normal schools in other states. AS to
the standing of the Lewiston Normal,
as a state institution apart from that
of local school, we found, basing our
figures on the enrolment of last SEM
ester, that that the total number of
students doing normal work with the
intention of becoming teachers to be
277, with 80 additional students doing
special work; of these PIT students,
Ill, or 40 per cent, gave Lewiston as
their home, lis, or approximately AZ
per cent, reside in the state outside of
Lewiston, and 81, or Is per cent, came
from other states. We recommend an
appropriation for the Lewiston State
Normal school of 500, 600 for the bi-
ennium >,

GREAT HEARTS.

Hearts that are great beat never loud,
They muffie their music when they
come;
They hurry away from the thronging
crowd
With Bonded brows and lips half
dumb.
And the world looks on and mutters,
proud
And when the great hearts have
passed away
Men gather in awe and kiss their
shroud,
And in love they kneel around their
clay.
Hearts that are great are always alone,
. They never viii manifest their best;
Their greatest greatness is unknown
Earth knows a little-God the rest.

Assoiis Postal Bill.

Samuel G. Blythe, one of the best
known magazine writers, has the fcl-
lowing to say about the proposed in
crease in magazine postage:
Politics, and not the postal deficit,
is the underlying motive for the admin
istration's attack on the magazines and
the periodical press through increase of
second-class postage.
Postmaster General Hitchcocks ex-
cuse for the move is the alleged pos
tai deficit; President Taft's excuse is
that he is supporting his cabinet min
ister, who is trying to put the depart
lnent on a self-sustaining basis; the
administration senators who tackled
the amendment on the postoffice bill
have the excuse that the president de-
mands the increase.
"They are making the excuse, too,
now that they are discovering how
thoroughly the people are aroused on
This matter of using the taxing power
of the government to confscate. That's
what it amounts to for the free press
that dared to criticize and condemn
acts both of the administration and of
Che administration supporters in con-
gress.
Laying aside the tremendous fact
that the imposition of this tax means
ruin to the magazine and periodical
business of the country and the abso-
lutte extinction of the popular magazine
look at the politics of it. Three facts
are certain.
First: That the tax is part of a
carefully matured plan of the admin
Situation, in conjunction with those in
terests the republican majority in con-
gtess has served for years, to stamp
olt the progressive movement by de-
priving that movement of its means of
publicity and its mediums for spread
ing it's propaganda.
Second: 1t II especially decided
against the newly-formed Progressive
Republican League and the progress
sives in congress whom the magazines
and periodicals of the country support
cd in their aim to rid the country of
Aldrichism and Cannonism.
Third: 1t is an act of direct re-
prisal by the President, Hitchcock,
Cannon, Aldrich, and all of the Cannon
Aldrich crowd in congress, of whom
there are seven on the committee pull
ing for the amendment of the Senate
BILL intended to punish these magazines
and periodicals that have devoted space
to governmental political abuses.
''Of course the publishers can make
cut case-and are making it out
that this method of discrimination and
reprisal will bankrupt them, and in
the case of those who can. continue, it
will inevitably increase the price OF
the popular magazines to the reading
public.
''But this is not the main point. The
vital thing is that the administration,
exerting its taxing power, is endeavor-
ing to abolish the free. press not only
in the interests of its own politica
ambitions, but in the interests of anc
for the protection of the financial pow
crs 1T seeks to serve.
''The question is bigger than 9ne Of
money, either in the government
purse or out of the purses of the pub
fishers.
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1911-02-23

lit is bigger than even the interest
of the thousands of men who viii be
thrown out of employment if the pub
fishing business is curtailed as it will
be if the proposed increase of second
class postage becomes law.
cit is blow at that liberty guaran-
teed by the constitution of the United
States and is subversive of every Amer
lean idea of justice, of fair play and Of
decent politics.
