THE HERDER'S STORY.

Strongarm Pop was all we called him didn't need no other name; Used to herd sheep in Wyomin'-fact it allus was his game. How he got the name I'll tell you thought most everybody knew, No. it ain't a dashed long story thanks. that there's good weed, too.
 once Pop herded on a mesa-made camp right clost to the edge; Still he didn't have no trouble keepin' them sheep from the ledge. But one day a storm come sudden first thing that there herder saw Was three thousand sheep a-driftin' fer that cliff right down draw. At the edge the draw was narrer- hardly room fer one to pass Pop he runs ahead. but Lordy! naught could stop that chargin mass. So he jumps right off the mesa useter play ball in his day Catches every sheep that tumbles- never muffed but one. they say That's how Pop is nicknamed Strongarm-sheep that drop three hundred feet
 Ain't no easy thing to handle. so Pops record ain't been beat. Whats that? Castin' doubts upon it.? Stranger. that's a rude surprise. Pop himself told me that story. and a sheep man never lies.

The Carnegie senefactions.

Of all the money that Mr. Carnegle has donated for various purposes ne seems to take greatest pride in his gifts for the Mount Wilson observa- tory. which is near Los Angeles. As exuberantly as a boy with his first gun, MT. Carnegie boasts that the Mount Wilson observatory has "al-
 ready discovered more than sixty million new worlds" But he will not be satisfied until he has provided the means for searching the sky

The New Census.

An official census of Phoenix, con ducted jointly by the city government and the board. of school trustees, as provided by law. will easily establish that the population of the city greatly exceeds the total that is stated by the federal census.
 This census will be approximately a year after the federal census was taken.
 If it be argued that the federal census was correct, the people of Phoenix can. say: Very well; ad- mitting that the federal census was correct, the new census shows that the growth in one year amounts to some 5000"
 The federal census. as a matter of fact, was not complete. But in any event there will he ample justifica- ton for a new-and official-census.

THE WEDDING CAKE PAGoDA.

At Mingun. on the right bank of the Irrawaddy river, about five miles from Mandalay. in Burma. there stands a peculiar pagoda known as the Wedding Cake Pagoda because it looks like a marvellously magnified bridal cake.
 IL was built in the early. part of the nineteenth century and is in thorough ly good preservation, only a few of the images inside having been broken. The extreme height to the top of the minaret is eighty feet and the circum- ference about 600 feet. The pagoda stands back from the river some 300 feet and is hidden from it by a grove of teak trees. Close to it is the fam ous Mingun bell.-From the Wide World

great shifting of party allegiance by
 voters-all the advocates of the initia-
 tive and referendum and recall on
 the radical lines adopted in Oregon
 and Arizona will finally find them
 selves in on party-If If denied
 refuge in both parties. they will form
 party of their own, and this third
 party will last until its doctrines are
 adopted by the country, or until the
 issue has ceased to interest the coun-
 try. It would be mere guesswork to
 undertake to say today which party
 is most likely to show friendliness to
 these doctrines. It is only certain
 that. contrary to the belief of the
 enthusiastic advocates of them in
 Arizona. neither party in the country
 as a whole is so far paying much attention to the initiative and refer endum and recall. Taking the coun- try as whole, these doctrines are regarded as rankly objectionable and socialistic, so far as any thought is given to them at all. At present, notwithstanding MT. Bryan's ardsnt ernment, the democratic party does not appear to be ar attractive field for their growth. The great victory of the democratic party at the last election was a triumph for the con servative wing. And the republican party is no more inviting. It is sig nificant that out of a republican of more than sixty in the United States senate, but scant half dozen senators are lined up for the program of the new league.
 Whatever the ultimate fate of the initiative and referendum and recall on the radical lines of Oregon and be in the nation, it is a safe prediction that if either of the great parties should take them up next year it would be overwhelm- ingly beaten at the polls, for the country is not yet ready to abandon the system of government which has made this republic a success.
 Every patriotic citizen wants pop | ular government The difference of | opinion relates to the method of get | ting popular government. Opponents | of the initiative and referendum and | recall insist that the masses of the | in periods of excite not inform themselves as to the intricate details of legislation | necessary to a successful working of | the initiative and referendum, and | will he quite as careless as they are everywhere now in the election of their legislatures. They insist that
 he surest cure for the adnitted evils ,f misrepresentation is found in the election of legislators by the direct and the leaving of the de- ails of legislation to these repre- sentatives.
 And it will be a long time before the people of the United States aban- lon this view of the best method of getting popular government. In the ong run the average American is and has to be shown" before he will forsake principles that nave been tested by time and expe- -ience.

The New PopuIisn.

The Progressive National League, "
 organized at Washington last week, is
 made up so far of men who are nomi-
 nally republicans. It comprises six or seven senators, as many state gov ernors, ten or twelve representatives.
 several writers for magazines and newspapers, and sundry politicians who at present are detached from of flee. While the league is thus far an organization of radicals who call themselves republicans. it will have to admit democratic radicals to mem
 bership if it is to grow big enough to be a considerable factor in national politics The liberal republican, party, formed in 1872 for the purpose of defeating Grant, was confident that it would dominate the republican par
 ty shortly, and so control the nation. but it disappeared from view very quickly after the election of Grant
 The Progressive National League, % failing to acquire control of the re- publican party, will no doubt try to get control of the democratic party. absorbed by one of the two great parties, for it has been seen over and over again in this country that there cannot be more than two big parties at one time. The natural grouping of voters in this country is in two camps-the conservatives, and the radicals.
 Just now, both the great parties appear to be going through a process of disintegration preparatory to re- alignment. In the republican party and in the democratic party, both. there is a conflict between conserva- tives and radicals The radicals have a pretty definite program. This pro- gram, as given in the manifesto is sued by the Progressive National League" is in all essentials a re- vival of the platform of the populist  party of twenty years ago. It eX- presses the views of radical demo- crats and radical republicans. It calls for the direct election of United States senators by the people, direct prima- ries for all elective officials. direct election of delegations to national sadF Ia r vote on president and vice president. the initiative and referendum and re- call. and general corrupt practices act It is a maxim of political his tory that "the radical of today is the conservative of tomorrow" and mo- body can predict with any certainty how much of the program of the radicals of today will become fixed principles in the creed of tomorrows conservatives. That much of the radicalism of the populists has found its way into the platforms of present For example. probably a decided ma jority in each of the great parties to- day is in favor of the direct election of senators and in favor of direct primaries. Yet these doctrines. when put forth by the popuIists. were ridi- culed as vagaries. And so with other features of the platform of the popu lists of two decades ago.
 The populists were also enthusias- tic for the initiative and referendum and recall These doctrines are still with the majority in each of the two parties in the United States. Whether either party can ever be induced to make them a part of its creed remains to be seen.
 It is reasonably certain that before these doctrines can be made party doctrine by either the democratic or the republican party there will be a

TURKEYS PLENTIFUL
/ IN BOWBELLS
-
Dealers State that There Will
Be Enough of Everything
for Christmas Dinners

.Bowbells residents have only
three days more to prepare fol
Christmas and during this time
there are innumerable things to
be looked after. Plans, formulat.
ed several weeks ago for Christ
mas dinner and the afternoons s
entertaining, have to be execut-
ed, and numerous other prepara-
tions have to be attended to.
But the homes of the city will
have no monopoly on the Christ
mas rush. During the past
week, the grocers have been pre-
pairing for the final rush before
Christmas, and they are now
ready to look after the needs of
all the residents of the city.
Stores have been decorated for
over a week now and Christmas
supplies have been displayed to
the best possible advantage.
This year, according to the
grocers, there will be plenty of
everything to supply the needs
of all. After Thanksgiving, it
was first thought that turkeys
would he rather scarce at Christ
mas, but S uch will not be the
case. Owing to the fact that
turkeys were more plentiful at
the outset than last year and be-
case dealers did not ship so
many to out there will be enough

to supply the Christmas needs of
all. Geese and ducks will also
be plentiful.
The boys and girls of the city
will be interested in learning
that Christmas trees were very
plentiful this year. Trees of all
sizes and shapes have been in
Bowbells during the past few
days, and they have already
met with quite a run of popu-
iarity. ANY desirable size can
be purchased, as they range in
hight from four to 18 feet.

COURT De.
C|DES NORMAL CASE
Minot Wins Out in Big Fight
For Normal School---De-
cisiOn Made Friday

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 49,
By a unanimous dicision the
supreme court of North Dakota
handed down a decision this
afternoon sustaining the location
of a normal school at Minot.
The decision is the result of
the legal battle carried on some
weeks ago in the supreme cou rt
chambers in which Attorney
General Andrew Miller argued
the point that the location of the
normal school at Minot was un-
constitution on the ground that
the constitution requires a re-
vision not merely at amendment.
The Minot attorneys who were
John E. Greene, Halvor l..
Halvorson, Dorr H. Carroll and
Francis J. Murphy, contended
that the amendment providing
for a normal school at Minot
was a revision within the mean
ing of the constitution.
The supreme court has had
the matter under consideration
for several weeks and the decis-
ion given out this afternoon is a
complete victory for Minot. as

that from one to ten pieces have
