Chinese Method of Painting.

There is some import of foreign
paints here, but the trade has not yet
reached any great volume, though it
is bound to increase. Nearly all the
painting in the foreign settlements
and all in the Chinese cities is done
by native workmen with Chinese
paint. The use of Chinese material
and labor is because of chearness, al
though a piece of work never has a
finished appearance.
Most of the work is done by the
painter taking a bunch of cotton
waste, whieh he saturates by dipping
in the paint pot, and then clubbing I
over the surface to be painted Even
If foreign brushes are furnished, the
Chinese painter will not use them,
He says he saves paint by his method
and gets 1t more evenly distributed
over the surface. on exterior sur
faces the Chinese paint is not durable
but the cost is so small that the job
can be done two or three times for
what one painting would cost in Am
erica.

The Prize Winning Essay-AlcohoI
and Crime

First let US ask what alcohol does, and
the answer is it Injuries the physical pow
er as well as the mental, it effects the
brain so that one IS led to become Grim
inal. 1t also effects the heart, mind ard
other tissues of the body. We can all
truthfully say that the saloon Is the one
great school Of lawlessness and vice and
is where crime is planned and criminals
are harbored. As rule the men who
frequent saloons are profane aod vulgar
Of speech. The saloon units men to be
good citizens, kind husbands and fathers;
it also causes more misery and despair
and humiliation than any othar institu-
ton and is an enemy to the government
for it plots for the overthrow of law and
order. A careful study has been made in
Los Angeles of the cost of crime due to
alcohol in the cities and states of the Un.
ion and it is said that every arrest makes
cost Of nine dollars to the state and
each conviction forty dollars. Eighty to
ninety per cent Of our criminals connect
their course Of crime with intemperance
ninety-three per cent in the D eer Island
House Of Indiana are connected with H.
quor. In tho New Hampshire prison
there arc $50 prisoners and about half Of
them will admit themselves that liquor
was the cause OF them being there. In
New York there are 10000 liquor shops
one-half Of which are unlicensed. In the
year Of 1888 there were over $4,000
arrests due to alcohol and now with 90.
s6l arrests from crime nine-tenths are
results from the use Of alcohol. The
cost OF the Canon City penitentiary for
the year 1909 was $4,000. e5 per
cent Of the prisoners are there because
OF drink. Expenditures for drink only
reduces the money the poor man has to
spend for food. therefore his wife and
children must suffer. Is not this erime9
1t is said that the saloon is the poor
mans club: this is true IN sense for il
clubs him on, Of his money, his brains
health strength and character and makes
a criminal Of himself and a crime against
his family.
Kansas City. Kan, is an example to Us
for it shows Us how nice it would be il
all cities were dry. It has population
of 10000 people and year ago there
were $50 saloons and 200 gambling
dens and now it is the largest city in the
world without them. This city has exist
ed for twelve months without them. so
this gives US living example of the fact
that large city can grow and prosper
without such vice. Every year before
this happened there were from twelve to
twenty-five young men sent to the re-
formatory. in the twelve months since
the closing Of the saloons there have been
but two sent. The expenses of prescott
ing criminals has been reduced S25.ooo
per annum. The c5uTt of-criminal pleas
of the city opened its term of court with
out criminal case. This city is clean.

A MESSAGE FROM riARS
By Adrian ~. Ncwcns, at Presbyter-
ian church Thursday, April ~

ian church Thursday, April 27
In private life Mr.. Newens is staff
critic for the Redpath-SlaytonL Lyeeum
Bureau. This Is a responsible position
and speaks highly of his ability and
knowledge Of lyesum work. Before the
public he is morologist. in other words
he is an individual artist presenting many
characters in one continuous story or
play. He impersonates and presents his
men and women without costumes or
makeup accessories. His entertain
mert is the sermon without the preacher.
the lecture without the lecturer. the
drama enscted without the actors and
stage properties.
"A Message From Mars" is a comedy.
a story. a great play teeming with
human conditions and problems. Its
theme is the revolution Of a selfishi man.
There are fifteen different characters.
The marvel OF the artists work is that
these fifteen characters come and go
with no apparent effort. One comment
is that MARS is golden message pre-
sented by superb artist"
The committee invites the public to hear
Mr.. Newens IN this chosen number Of the
course. Remember the date, April 2z at
the Presbyterian church.

able reason, perhaps counting cap
ture, Byrd had left his trusted rifle
leaning outside of the house, though
he must have known that he vas
closely pursued. When the sharp
command of surrender came he did
not even try to draw the Colts re-

William Byrd killed two men at

Thursday afternoon and gave fatal
wound to a third who was in per-
suit.
Alighting from a Vera car at

where the car stopped and without
word of warning, shot G. n.
WhiPples who was working on a
building, in the mouth and neck with
two bullets from a $3.50 Winchester
rife. Then, thinking that he had
killed his man, he fred three shots
at John Manski, the contractor work

three shots took effect. His second
victim fell against the wall, dead.
Two shots had gone through his
heart and one through the right side
of his body.

Many Idaho Possibilities.

The impression prevails in many
eastern states that the development
of the apple industry is about the
only inducement offered to settlers II
the Pacific Northwest. Some say
that this region seems to be in the
apple business exclusively. This is
due to the fact that irrigated and
other apple lands have been adver-
tised extensively while compare
lively little has been said about 9TH
er agricultural advantages.
While it is true that Idaho and
other states of the Pacific Northwest
can offer to prospective fruit grow
ers the best possible opportunities in
horticulture, especially in apples, it
should be made widely known that
here are superior advantages for
dairying, stock-raising, wool indus
try, poultry, bee culture, and gard
ening as well as grain farming and
general agriculture. Stock farming
and dairy are the most profitable oc-
for the farmer who is COM
petent to follow those lines, and
here the conditions are ideal for such
purposes.
Idaho offers a rich abundance of
agricultural opportunities. It is ca
pable not only of producing the finest
fruit, but the best wool, the best but
!er, the best beef, the best grain
and the best potatoes in the United
States, if not in the world.-Tel-
ler.
