PROBES GRIMES

Five indictments, four of which are
brought against two men, were re-
turned by the Territorial grand jury
in it's partial report to Circuit Judge
H. e. Cooper this morning. Two true
bills are returned against Hee Park,
"a Chinaman arrested some time ago
and accused of assaulting girls less
than twelve years Of age. Two true
bills also are found against Samuel
kahi, held on a charge of burglary in
the second degree. The other in
dictment names Tam Ha and accuses
him of assault and battery with a
weapon. All three prisoners will be
,arraigned before Judge Cooper Mon
day morning at 9 o'clock. -.
The grand jury in session yesterday
listened to many shocking stories told
by little children concerning a series
of assaults and statutory crimes COM
mitted by Chinese and other male
offenders.
Hee Park, an aged Chinese, has been
under investigation by Chief of De-
tectiyes McDuffie and Prosecuting At
tcrney A. M. Brown for the past few
days, and these officials claim to have
elected sufficient evidence against the
accused to hold him for further in
q,iiry by the grand jury. This body
will meet ON nexu Wednesday or
Thursday to further probe stories of
statutory crimes committed against
little girls.
In several instances the girls who
figure in the revolving assaults from
grown men are but mere children, and
under the age OF seven years.
Hawaiian and Japanese girls are in
the main the victims of the lust OF the
brutes now facing serious charges in
either the lower or upper courts.
The grand jury at its next session
is believed will take up hearing of
the charges filed against George
Borges a Portuguese youth who has
been an inmate Of the city and county
jail for some weeks upon charge
similar to that filed against the chi
nese. LIZ i'eS.@Z-- =. = '.~

THE RIGHT WAY

Saturday last. was one of the best
days in this town for some time.
The stores were offering goods at
prices that no one could resist and it
was possible to see people from all
over the country trading with our
merchants. This is just what we
want, the people trading with home
merchants. That keeps the money
at home and gives more work to
home clerks and then the printer gets
in once in while. The fact is the
merchants have good goods and
their prices are right and they are
the ones that help keep up our
schools and help build the roads and
when they have good trade they
give more employment to people and
every thing is better.

The boy scout movement can be
used advantageously in the small
towns as l.. large cities for the pro-
per amusement and occupation of the
younger boys and in making better
citizens. Community picnics, base
ball teams, local bands, etc.. are all
good things for the home town. A
gymnasium and school athletics
should be encouraged and every town
of any size should have park,
playground, public tennis court, and
a gooG library. One way to make
farm life more attractive is to i'm
prove the highways. Good roads
make it possible'for the farmers son
and daughter to enjoy these advan-
tages and participate in the social
events, of the home town and COM

NEW RULING

Billings, Dec. 2-That for the pur-
pose of complying with the laws re-
lating to homesteads, the residence
of the entryman's family is not nee
essarily his own, is the effect OF de-
cision received here today in case
wherin the right to hold quarter
section of land was contested. The
ruling came from the secretary of the
interior, and is of particular import
ance to homesteaders.
The land in question was filed upon
by Richard Sherwood, plumber,
and his right to it was contested by
Neil w. Meyers. who claimed that
the regulations of the land depart
ment had not been complied with.
He set forth that although Sherwood
had improved the property and that
he had sleptin house erected there
on, his family maintained their resi-
dence in Billings and that the abid-
ing place of Sherwood's wife and
children was legally his own.
The receiver of the Billings land
office sustained the contention, but
the register took a contrary view and
recommended the dismissal of the
contest. His holding was affirmed
by the general land office and as a
last resort the case was carried to
the interior department with the re-
suit that the finding of the register
was again upheld.

Livestock Show On

This week the Livestock showis
on in Lewiston al ! crowds of people
e in attendance to look at the fine
stock on exhibition. This show is
not complete because not enough. of
the Potlatch livestock are there.
This should be taken seriously by the
farmers of this district. The farm
ers in the Potlatch have good stock
and if they would take as much in
terest in them as they have the past
year in other products of the farm
you could see them bringing home
first prizes on the fine stock, Let

Several young boys living near
this town bave of late been going up
on the sides of the hills above the
roads and starting rocks to roll down.
Some time ago a couple of boys
started rock that almost hit a horse
with two children on it and another
time team was almost hit. This
is an offence punishable by law and
this is the last warning. The boys
who are doing this work are known.

Dairy Show at North Portland, No

wood farm COW. Those farms, of
which Mr.. John L. Smith is mana

has proven to the seed men that this
is one of the best places in the west
for the growing of all kinds of seeds

seeds and the growing of we'll ma
tured vegetables and grains have
this year shown to the eastern states
that this country is not as so many
think one barren spot, but a fertile
field that can grow any and all kinds
of produce. The seeds grown by
Mr.. Tracy is demanding the highest
market price from the fact that they
are large, and well matured and when

HOGS PAY BEST

Martin Schei and H. Nelson went
to Lewiston Tuesday to take in the
show and if they can. they will pur-
chase some hogs. They have come
to the conclusion that hogs are the
thing to make the money on the
farm. The sooner the farmers of
this section wake up to that fact and
carry it into effect the sooner they
will be able to make great deal
more money on the farm. It is
stock and diversified farming that
pays. Small tracts and more people
is what the west needs.

St1y On The Farm Boys

For many years the magazines,
dailies and even country newspapers
have been full of articles telling of
the successes and victories of country
boys who left the farm and went to
the big cities to win fame or fortune.
They have had practically nothing
to say about the many thousands of
countr, boys who went to the big
cities and were buried in oblivion,
nor about the tho usands of boys who
stayed at home-on the farm or in
the home town-and became Sue
cessful, prominent citizens and lead
ers in their communities.
Not only do such articles foster
misconception of actual conditions,
tut they are disastrous to the best
interests of the nation. They are
untruthful in their implications and
utterly bad in their effect upon the
minds of the youth of the country.
The point of view should be reversed
and country newspapers, should
lead in a movement to chronicle the
exploits and successes of the boys
that stayed at home-on the farm
and the home town. Caesars state
ment: 1T is better to be first in a
little Iberian village, than second in
Rome" has never yet been success
fully refuted.
One of the greatest dangers that
today haunt the American people is
the almost universal desire of the
American boy to leave the farm and
60 to the bright lights Of the cities
and crowded centers. And the
''pull' of the big city upon the coun-
try boy is not the worst feature. It
leaves country communities without
the right kind of social advantages.
without the proper proportion of
of boys and girls, and makes it in
creasingly difficult for the country
girl to meet desirable young men
and make a good and respectable
marriage in her home community.
Probably country girls themselves
do not realize it, but this nay be a
reason why many of them are leav-
ing the farm or the home town, and
seeking education or employment
(according to their financi circum-
stances) in the larger city.
A large firm in Chicago employs
something like 600 girls. Eighty
five per cent of these come, not

have formed the conclusion that
about all they raise in the Northwest
is blizzard, coyotes and bad men of
the Rattlesnake Pete variety. 1t is
for the purpose of bandishing this
delusion that Northern Pacific is
sending out an exhibit car that we
may behold with our very eyes what
they raise in states touched by this
road. The car left St. Paul two
weeks ago and came to Winchester
direct from Moline. Illinois, where
fully 5000 people visited the exhi-
bit during the two days stay there.
The car was placed near the depot
here, Wednesday and was visited by
many of our citizens who were
amazed and yet fully convinced that
there are other states besides Illinois
where about everything under the
sun can be raised. The car was
70 feet long and chuckfull (leaving
just enough space in the center for
passageway,) of the products of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dako-
ia, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. There was exhibited in
jars and behind glass cases the very
finest of all kinds of fruits, vegeta-
bles and grain, most artistically ar
ranged. The sliced watermelon and
peaches almost made your mouth
water. There were exhibits of nuts
and mineral products and fish, one
salmon, of which we dare not tell
the weight and length for fear our re-
putation for truth and veracity might
be questioned. Cases containing as
high as Is different kinds of grain
raised both on irrigated land, and
non-irrigated land, alfalfa seven feet
high; oats that yeild 81 bushels per
acre; wheat IS bushels per acre, and
barley al bushels per acre; Burbank
and White Elephant potatoes, some
weighing three pounds, and in fact
the finest of everything. just as good
and even better than raised in Illinois.
The Car was in charge of M. A. Begg
Travelling Agent, and CarlJ. Win
bauer, Assistant. E. D. Rockwell,
of Des Moines, District Passenger
Agent, joined the car in that city
and will continue with the car awhile.

TAFT's EXPLANATIONS.
Geo. w. Knight.

The Presidents explanation of
Major Butts visit to the Vatican is
not satisfactory, neither is that as to
the order, ex cathedra, restoring the
Nuns to control in schools main
tanned at public charge. There are
good reasons for believing that Mr..
Taft is debtor to the Roam Church
for his present elevation through
services rendered by himself and his
Chief during Roosevelt's administra-
ton. This is openly charged by the
Socialists. A man who believes that
he is the vicegernt Of God Almighty,
of sort of governor general for the
whole earth, who has grown up in
faith that teaches that he as Pope,
can keep a man out of Heaven by his
ipse dixit, cannot help believing that
things temporal are confided to his
keeping. If 1 believed that God had
conferred on me, through a system
Of church government, or in any
other manner, the power and au-
thority to send people to He'll, I
could not help believing that all
lesser things were included. If the
teachings of history are worth any
thing, we know that the Popes of
Rome have ever asserted the right to
temporal rule, and in times past sue
cessfully maintained it. That when
this power of the Roman hierarchy
was at it's height, we had "the dark
ages" a thousand years of ignorance
and superstition. The notion that
