A howl comes from a news ~
bureau in Milwaukee against the re-
moval of the duty on sugar, as pro-
posed by bill now before congress.
the bowler, or howlers, claiming
that the sugar trust is back Of the
bill, and a lot more such rot. The
presumption is, We opine, that if the
people can be gulled into believing
the trusts want sugar on the free list,
they the people, will rise up in
their might and demand of Congress
to retain the duty on sugar, and
thereby secure the real end desired
by the trust. Then this same trust
tries to frighten the sugar beet
farmer into coming to its assistance
in defeating the bill by telling It
means the reduction of the price of
beets, as though the price on beets
has not always been just whatever
the trust wanted to pay. And the
price on refined sugar is also what
ever the trust wants to make it.
Think of what the price was about
preserving time last fall and the
fall before. If there is any legit- /
mate way to lessen the price of su-
gar to the consumer, let's have it.
The trust has been pamPered long
enough at the expense of the people.

THEY HAVE "MADE THEIR

This paper is in receipt of a circu-
lar letter and several columns OF
printed matter from Head Clerk c.
W. HAYES of the Modern Wooimen
of America which is intended to
prrVe the necessity and wisdom of
the recent advance in the insurance
rates Of that order.
The members of this order, We
understand, pay for the publication
of lodge paper in which the officers
of the same may air their views free
of charge, in which said members
themselves, We also understand, are
nov and them refused space. We
have no spoce to spare for the free
advertising Of the views Of those on
GERS, and We think the members can
probably get better general infOrma-
ton relative to their order from
within its ranks than We can give
them anyway.
However, We do know IL recent
decision to raise the rates has created
much unfavOrable comment directed
more at the management than at the
order itself.

LEWIS COUNTY Owe YEAR OLD.

One year ago, on February IS,
the bill creating Lewis county made
its final passage through the senate
and was signed by Governor Hav-
ley. On March Goth, or 20 days
later, it became a Law and the great,
rich little county Of Lewis. state of
Idaho, passed from the hopeful
dream of its people into reality.
The history Of its development
from the embryo state is so recent
that it is practically flesh in the
minds of all, and that its organiza-
tion has been brought up to its pres
ent efficient condition in twelve short
months without friction and with min
imum expense are facts that all point
to with pride.
That it viii maintain place well
to the front of the progressive sec
ton Of the Northwest is self-evident-I
it has the resources and the people.

Of the wheat and barley goes through

life had anything been so grateful as
these repeated applications Of hot wa

ing lotion Of some kind, then he took
his long roll of bandage and wound
it dexterously around her foot, not
drawing it too close to prevent circu-
lation but just tight enough for sup
port. then as he finished she drew It

But think of the anxiety of your

she would have a nervous breakdown.

t1nued the man, ''it will be sort of
company for you and it gets cold up
here nights at this season. I shouldn't
wonder if this rain turned into snow.
Besides, it will dry your clothes for
you"
Then he went over to the fireplace,
struck a match, touched it to the
kindling under the huge logs already
prepared, and in a moment a cheerful
blaze was roaring up through the
chimney. Then he picked up from the
floor where she had cast them IN
heap her bedraggled garments. He
Strengthened them out as best he
could, hung them over the backs Of
chairs and the table, which he drew
as near to the fire as was safe. Hav-

turned to the woman who had watch

while.

He threw his hand out with a depre-

the situations indeed, she thought
swiftly, there was nothing else to do,
she had no choice, she could not have
been left alone there in the rocks in
that rain, she could not walk He
was doing the only thing possible. The
compulsion of the inevitable was upon
them both.
They went slowly, the man often
stopped for rest, at which times he
would seat her tenderly upon some
PROSTATE tree, or some rounded boul-
der, until he was ready to resume his
task He did not bother her with ex-
PLANTATION, discussion or other CONVEX
sation. for which she was most thank
ful. Once or twice during the slow
progress she tried to walk, but the
slightest pressure on her wounded
foot nearly caused her to faint. He
made no complaint about his burden
and she found it, after all, pleasant to
be upheld by such powerful arms:
she was so sick, so tired, so worn out,
and there was such assurance OF
strength and safety in his firm hold of
her.
By and by, in the last stage Of their
journey, her head dropped on his
shoulder and she actually fell into an
uneasy troubled sleep. He did not
know whether she slumbered or
whether she had tainted again. He
did not dare 70 stop to find out. mis-
strength was almost spent; in this last
effort the strain upon his muscles
was almost as great as it had been in
the whirlpool For the second time
that day the sweat stood out on his
forehead. his legs trembIed under him.
How he made the last five hundred
feet up the steep wall to a certain
broad shelf perhaps an acre in extent
where he had built his hut amOng the
mountains. he never knew; but the
last remnant Of his force was spent
when he finally opened the unattached
door with his foot. carried her in the
log hut and laid her upon the bed OF
bunk built against one wall of the
cabin.
Yet the way he put her down was
characteristic of the man. That last
yestige of strength had served him
