OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SCIENTIST.

We are not scientist. We don t
know the scientific name for hardly
ANYTHING. But there is Il plant
that is known to everybody who
ever spent much time i'll the dry
regions nf the northwest. which
laughs in the face OF hot winds and
seems to thrive best where there is
almost total absence OF moisture
the Russian thistle.
People say that during the early
life of the thistle it is as tender as
1ettus. Little chickens will eat it
then, and if cut at the right time
stock will feed upon the hay with
apparently as much relish as TIM
otfy or clover. We have also
heard somewhere that the thistle is
Hot a native Of this country but
was brought here to be used as a
forage plant. But be that as it
may. it seems to us that plant
which tllrives under conditions
that are so uniavorable to all 9TH
er vegetation. might be the subject
of interesting experiments with a
view of directing the plant S pecul-
lar qualities in a way that might
be useful to mankind instead OF
being branded an outlaw. a nui-
sance and intruder everywhere.
There seems to be no question
but that the thistle is both nutrit-
ious and we'll liked during certain
stages. The object OF experiments
should be to remove it's objection
able features. 1t would seem that
the Russian thistle must have re
ceived the thoughtful consideration
OF scientific llen before this and
yet if it has we never happened to
hear about it.

HOW IKE LOST EYE.

William l.. Kaiser, a member Of
the United Commercial Travellers,
has acquired reputation as story
teller. "Bill,* is much in demand at
banqucts, reunions and stag parties.
Although the story is worn almost
threadbare, "Bill" insists upon re-
peating the following anecdote at cv-
cry opportunity:
The farmers, John and Jake, met
at a crossroads with loaded teams.
They paused to pass the local small
talk.
"John," said his friend, "did ye
hear O the accident down at Reeds
corners?"
''Nary word," replied John.
"Well," continued Jake, "ye'll re-
member Ike Robinson's hotel, the
Lakeside Travellers Rest A troupe
o Uncle Toms Cabin people put
up at the Corners last week, and Ike
gave the leading lady the biggest
room in the house, the old parlor
on the first floor"
The old man paused meditatively.
"Yes?" queried John.
"An' that's how Ike came to lose
his right eye"
GLOW did it happen?" asked John.
"Through accident?'
"Nope," answered Jake. Through
the keyhole.''

THE FEDERAL GAME LAW.

With the approach OF the hunt
ing season it is well to be reminded
of the the laws both state and fed
eral regulating the preservation of
game and hunting in general.
State Game Warden Hendrck
states that some misrepresentation
is current in regard to the federal
game laws, as affecting this state.
South Dakota is in zone | and,
therefore. a closed season is per
petual on all birds feeding princi-
pally on insects. while a Swear
closed season covers pigeons,
cranes, swans, curlew and all shore
birds. From January to Octob
er 81 4 closed season exists along
and on the Missouri river on all
migratory birds. this provision be
ing in force from the mouth of the
river to Bismarck. For other wa
ter fowl and shore birds the closed
season in South Dakota is from
December IS to September 10,
while all hours OF darkness, sunset
to sunrise, ale known as closed
seasons for migratory birds. The
government penalty is fine OF not
more than $Ioo or imprisonment
for not more than 90 days, or
both. The zones vary and the
federal game laws vary with the
zones.
A dispatch from Vienna states
that because of the alarming de-
cline in marriages the civil digni-
taries are seriously considering the
suggestion recently made that the
government establish marriage
lottery system Judging from
the divorce records we supposed it
was already somewhat of Il lottery
system.

Atlanta, March 27.-State In
Fsurance Commissioner W. A.
Wright declared in statement
that the Cherokee Life Insurance
Company is solvent and that its

The crowded condition of the Koos-
kia schools at present makes it plain to
everyone that larger and better ar
ranged school building is necessary.
The present location, on the main
street of the town, practically without
playground, is not desirable one, and
this no doubt will be given due con-
sideration when the matter of a new
building is taken up in earnest.

one of the best graded schools in the

our school affairs have always been
properly looked after.
To meet the demands Of increased att
tendance additions have been built to
the old school house from time to time,
and the teaching staff increased, until
now we have five teachers where two
could handle the work few years ago.
The time has arrived when Kooskia
must have new and modern school
building. There is no getting away
from it. "A republic s chief business
is education,' said great thinker, and
hence it is the best asset any COM
munity can amass for itself to nurture
with jealous and loving care, with civic
pride and patriotism her public schools.
A generous, no prodigal, expenditure of
money for their support, befitting mod
ern standards and progress, yields the
very highest interest of community well
fare, intellectually, and even financial.

Stores Close at seven.

The merchants of Kooskia have enter
ed into an agreement to close theil
places of business at z O'Clock every
evening except Saturdays. The new
arrangement will take effect next Mon
day evening and will continue as Ions
as every one signing the agreement will
stand by it.
This is move in the right direction
There is very little business transacted
after the closing hour agreed upon and
there is no reason why stores should be
turned into loafing places well into the
night. There is enough of that going
ON in the daytime and we know tha,
some of our merchants will find relief
in the early closing movement.

Ball Meeting Here Sunday.

BAH Meeting Here sunday.
Owing to the gravel slide on Guide
sac hill Sunday the Lewiston and Reu-
bens delegates did not get to attend the
base ball meeting at Grangeville that
evening for the purpose of arranging
the details Of the formation of the
prairie league and the meeting was ad-
journed to meet in Cottonwood on Sun
day etening, April 9Th, when the
details of the league will. probably be
worked out.
At this meeting besides the regular
delegates from Lewiston, Reubens
Gfangeville and Cottonwood, it is ex-
pected Nezperce, and prehaps Winches-
ter, will have representatives on the
ground and Nezperce will make strong
bid for place in the league. If this
goes through it will mean the formation
of six team league, the same as in
1911 with the exception that Lewiston
will keep it from being a strictly prai-
rie league, and will mean some pretty
fast ball playing by the different teams
this summer. Each town has bunch
of good material, and while Lewiston
has the best of the prairie towns in
early spring weather and longer prac-
tice before the season opens, the big
town will be forced to set fast pace
to keep in the lead after summer really
hits us.
The meeting Sunday evening will be
held in the council room over the Ger
man Bank and will be open only to the
delegates and few local fans. The
session will probably last until the
morning hours as there are many mat
tiers to be settled.
