DEATH OF

A noble fellow has left us. In the
passing of Douglass, humanity loses
a friend. Quiet and ~unassuming, he
did the right and avoided the other.
Generous from a personal standpoint.
he made friends of those who really
knew him, and had a strong silent
influence with those who had only
a passing acquaintance.
Douglass had a big heart for hui
mainly, and while he held a position
that was difficult to fill On account of
the tendency of the public to register
their corporation protests with him,
yet he had a way of hearing them
all and smoothing out the rougn
places as few of us car do. Some
times the day seemed too long and
the whims of the public too numer-
Gus and troubles too far-fetched, but
he trained himself to smile and speak
gently and finish the day, and then di-
vert his thoughts to other things.
In his last serious illness he was
the same. He talked of his own case
in the most matter-of-fact way, spoke
of the fact that such cases usually
Guido human skill, and smiled al he
spoke of the medicine he~was taking
that seemed to be the only hope.
He chatted in the most unaffected
way about his future; said he had
been consulting his conscience and
that it had permitted him to sleep
and retain composure; that if he had
wronged his fellows it seemed not
to have impressed him, and then with
his accustomed smile he added, bar
ring, of course. what | did when |
was a boy. We all liked water
melons,"
And in that remark and the mellow
laugh that went with it was a volume
concerning his life. Modest, method
zeal and perfectly frank, he took the
cheerful end of the matter and was
natural and human.
When next we went to see him, he
was not there-the smile was there
Just family traced upon those 81
lent features and lingering about the
mouth-it couldn't quite come off.
Douglass had stamped 1t there!

At this time the chairman called
upon Mr.. B. j. Briggs, who took the

School Ian. and Put Coin in Cir
culation Urged on State Board

Boise, July 22.-At a meeting OF
the state land board held yesterday

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT AND THE
WESTERN FEDERATION
(StateSman)

Only those who are not familiar
with the workings of the Western
Federation of Miners and of the mo-
tives of those controlling 1t will mar
vel at the action of the convention OF
that body in condemning the Boy
Scout movement in this country.
The purpose and the proven tend

to improve the future citizenry of this
nation morally, mentally and physi-
cally.
There is nothing in it that is re-
pugnant to good citizenship.
There is nothing in it calculated 10

There is nothing in it Illuminating

1t is a splendid undertaking and 1t
will continue to have the hearty sup

FISH FAME FOR IDAHO
Gem state Has It All Over Colorado

bad .LE.H
That Idaho has it all over Colorado
as a trout fishing state Is the firm be-
lief of j. F. Murray, the well known
contractor and builder of Pocatello.
who, in a recent letter to the Denver
Post, claims the laurel for the Gem
state. The Post is endeavoring to ar
range a f1y-casting tournament and IL
calling for suggestions from north
western and inter-mountain sports
men. Mr.. Murray's letter follows:
ITO the Editor of the Post: In
your issues of the 18th and 18th in
stants, we observe that you are urs-
ing a %fly-casting or f~ish-casting tour
nament. While you are doing this,
we here are much interested in its
success but would bravely ask you to
amend your statement about Colorado
being the Queen of all the states for
trout fishing Twenty years ago |
had the great pleasure of fishing in
the Colorado streams and lakes, and
thought then it indeed was good fish
ing, but since trying Idaho have
decided that this state is without a

in our country.
Your state has, | believe, the best
fy-maker in the United States but
for. fighting large trout you are out
classed by the Gem state. There is
more genuine sport to be had in land
ing a. creel of u %'cutthroat' trout
than can be had in catching a wagon
load of Colorado trout. AS for ouI

Yours for veracity,
u. F. MURRAY,
"Pocatello, Idaho, April 16."
The best f1y-maker in the United
States" referred to by Mr.. Murray,
is doubtless S. Howath of Florissant,
an Englishman, who for many years
has lived there, and who does nothing
else but tie flies. He began in a very
small way, but did such good work,
that his fame spread and reached all
over the country.
