as it can be sewed readily when fresh
Nv peeled off, dishes of various kinds
are made OF it, particularly for early
berries; l have in mind the picture of
a big Concord stage filled and COW
| cred with tourists on their way to the
celebrated Glen House at the foot of
Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.
As we stopped at a wayside spring to
water the horses, mite of girl came
out of a cabin near by with board
tray filled with such white-birch-bark
dishes filled with red raspberries, and
others with sweet early blueberries.
There's a man now living in Caldwell
who happened to then be with me in
that party, and few days ago l re-
minded him of the trip; and he re-
membered it we'll, and one fact was
fixed in his mind: how when we stop
ped for water little girl came out,
etc. And it was the above incident.
AT some of the summer resorts there
are Indian camps, and often they will
make canoes while there, bringing
with them great rolls of the white
brch-bark, which if it has dried can
be softened with little steaming.
And l have seen the tourists purchase
a canoe for their children which they
have watched the Indians make. The
bark and sap of the tree is quite fra
grant to the smell. And how often
the boys cut names in the bark, which
in after years remind them of some
former passing fancy. We had in
those woodlands variety of soft white
pine, the wood of which was very
soft and the needles of which were
very fine. Sometimes the saplings
would spring up thickly together and
knot tied in the top of one of them
would in few years make a big
knob; the boys got these for hockey
sticks, the bark peeled off and the
stock dried would give a stick four
or FIVE feet long and an inch in diam
eter with the solid knob as big as
ones two fists at the end. In my boy
hood l tied enough such knots in the
tops of little pines to supply whole
town with hockey sticks.
And speaking of these, reminds me
of the big hill on which liberty pole
had been erected in Revolutionary
days, and was known ever afterward
as Liberty Pole Hill" On it at 4th
of July celebrations tall pine would
bear aloft the national flag. And such

long slope with its very long slide out
into the meadow, the daring boys
must take the very steep side, with a
"jounce" at the bottom and usually
get an upset, go sprawling, and often
get bruises and cuts from the icy
crust. But that was great fun. All
about that region were round topped
hills and deep bowl-shaped hollows;
one of the latter with steep walls in

THE COLLEGE OF IDAHO.

Members of the faculty OF the Col
lege of Idaho have made thorough
canvass of southern Idaho Tor the
purpose of interesting prospective
students in this institution OF learn
ing. These members have met with
great encouragement and the pros
poets for a most successful school
year are very bright. One feature
that is most encouraging is the tact
that in two or three instances students
who have attended other schools have
decided to finish at this school. These
students know from personal obser-
walton and close acquaintanceship the
advantages OF other institutions. With
this knowledge they have come to the
College, which fact speaks well for
the school and encourages those in
terested in its growth and Develop
ment. The freshman class this COM
ing year will be the largest in the his
tory of the institution. Between ~
and 80 members are already enrolled.
The College of Idaho has been in
successful operation since October Z,
1891. The aim of the school is to
furnish young men and women with
the opportunity OBJ obtaining liberal
education in the arts and sciences.
The course of study is attractive, the
instruction thorough, and the ex-
penses moderate, features which ap-
peal to earnest young men and wo-
men. The common principles OF
Christianity and good morals are
taught and insisted upon in the daily
lives OF instructors and students. The
plant consists Of three handsome,
modern and substantial buildings with
library, laboratories and museum. The
largest of the structures is the admin
istration building. The other two are
dormitories-one home for young
men, the other home for young wo-
men. Both are under careful and
considerate supervision.
The College has grown year by
year. The plant has been brought up
to its present high capacity and with
the growth of the plant the faculty
and student body has kept apace.
Students seeking the advantages of
an education can do no better than at
the College of Idaho. Graduates,
friends and the general public COM
mend the school in the highest terms.

TEXAS TO THE RESCUE.

The people of the United States
will soon escape the humiliation of
having their secretary of state chasing
around the Chautauqua circuit in pur-
suit of the dollar. The people of Tex
as have undertaken to raise a fund
of $4,000 which they will present to
Mr.. Bryan provided he agrees to de-
vote his entire time and attention tc
the duties of his office. These Tex
ans are warm friends of Mr.. Bryan
and they feel the humiliation. Rather
than have the great Commoner prosti-
tuting his high Office for money they
are going to give him donation OF
the sum mentioned We hope their
plan will succeed.

BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE
DEEP BLUE SEA.

The Richield Recorder is of the
opinion that the people of Idaho are
between the devil and the deep, blue
sea. An extraordinary session of the
legislature should be called for the
purpose of fastening the time when
the people can vote upon the propos-
ed constitutional amendments. There
is no question of the need of the spe-
cial session. On the other hand if
the session is called there is no way
of combining its activities to this neces-
sary work. 1t may follow off on this
or that tangent to the destruction of
itself and the ruination of the state.
The Recorder fears that the particular
route the legislature will take is that
leading to extravagant appropriations.
The appropriations will be made to
the different offices and departments
in order that they may have money
for railroad fares. 1t seems that the
appropriations were made to the diff
ferent Offices by the legislature under
the impression that the officers would
continue to receive annual passes over
the railroads. Most unkindly, the
public utilities commission did away
with the passes. Now if the leagisla-
ture gets together again it may do
away with the commission. Such are
Tho fa,re 81 TIE Dao~rjar
The Tribune cannot agree with the
Recorder in a single, solitary particu-
lar. We can see no reason for spe-
cial session of the legislature; if the
session were called we can see no
danger to the public utilities commits
sion. The session would either au-
thorize railroads to give free trans
portation to public officials or else il
would make appropriations which
would enable those officials to buy
transportation. If the special session
did not take such action the next reg,
ular session would and that would BIZ
an end to the whole business Actor
along this line must be taken sooner
or later, or else state officials will
have to tay at home. In our opinion
the public should pay for the trans
portation of state and county officials
the same as it pays for other things
There is no more reason why th'
Oregon Short Line should furnish
state official with his fare than Their
is for giving him his berth or his din
ner or pay his hotel bill. When rail

taxes they have contributed their full
share. If railroads are not payin

of getting at them than by the fire.

THE WISH IS FATHER TO THE
THOUGHT.


acknowledge an uneasiness because
there is so much talk of other men
for the Republican nomination for
governor. 1t appears on its face that
there is more or less dissatisfaction
with the state administration. While
sponsors for other candidates have not
specifically criticised the Governor,
their inclination to find somebody else,
indicates a troubled state of mind.
The fact that no really available man
has presented himself is responsible
for countless rumors. Before taking
other candidates too seriously it is
we'll to direct inquiry to the motive.
So long as there are no grounds for
serious criticism the people will quiet
ly go their way until the primary cleo
ton. Unless mistakes are made dur
ing the next few months they will
give the Haines administration vote
of confidence by re-nominating a ma
jority of its members. The talk of
other candidates for the nomination
is confined to the southeast OF
course north Idaho would like to fur
nish the next governor, but the inter
est in the United States senatorship
is greater than the interest in the gov
ernorship. Owing to the fact that
in past years effort has been made to
distribute the Offices geographically,
a great many people think that it is
no more than just that north Idaho
fill some of the important Offices.
These are two United States senator's,
two representatives and one governor
These FIVE Offices are the important
ones in the estimation of the public
The Offices of justice of the supreme
court, attorney general, secretary Of

sentative in Congress come from the

COOPERATIVE DELIVERY
Movement of Merchants to Reduce
Delivery Expense to Customers
Expert Arrives Tomorrow

C. K. Berry will arrive in Aberdeen
tomorrow, at the behest of merchants
who find the multiplication of deliv-
cry service a serious and growing ex-
pense. and no slight factor in the
high cost of living so much complain
ed of.
Mr.. Berry is an expert in the line
of cooperative delivery plans, and
comes from Stockton, Cal, where he
has just installed a cooperative sys-
TEN in that city of $4,000. Aberdeen
would seem to present an attractive
field for the new system, as it is now
no uncommon thing to see from three
to half a dozen wagons in one resi-
dence block in half a day, and the
cost. of course. is charged up on the
goods.
Mr.. Berry will hold a meeting to
morrow evening, in Knights of Py-
thias hall, when he will explain the
system in detail All interested are
invited to attend this meeting.
