krit) was quite popular during
the years the churches were de-
fpuncing its improperly, but it
slipped into the discard along
With the Virginia reel and the
l4ncers, and for some time the
waltz and the two-step have been
most prominently advocated by
the shoe manufacturers.
/ All of these new dances are
likely to become quite popular
provided the contention is main
,tained in pulpit and press that
they are immoral and "inde-
cent" Human nature, like the
republican party, hasn't been
changed much in recent years.
Pleading with the child not to
put beans in his nose, with the
youth not to smoke, and with
Doty to feed his dog, only seems
To aggravate the final result.
4 There isn't a bit Of use in wax
ing wroth over the improprieties
OF substituting easy and graceful
movements for the frenzied hob
be Of the two-step and the corn
pfodding glide Of the waltz. If
the dances are bad, it is because
your boys and your girls make
them bad, in which case you
have no business to let them ap-
pear in good society. We don't
consider 500 a wicked game be-
cause Mrs. Jones got mad and
called Mrs. Smith a liar, nor do
We consider the pulpit immoral
because so many preachers have
run away with other mems
wives. Then a little common
sense applied to the matter of
dancing might show that dane
ing, like the monthly grocery
bill, is what you make it.
When parents teach their sons
and daughters that grace and
beauty are worth while only
when associated with honesty
and purity, they need not fear
the results of social activities
including the different forms of
dancing.

upon a bill reforming the banking
and currency systems. Some of
these reasons deserve attention,
but there are others of more i'm
portance which nobody names.
On the first of November last,
according to the report of j. B.
Niven, certified public account
ant, there were 723, 1853. 900 rea-
sons why the senate committee
should not act; why things should
be left as they are; why party
promises should be forgotten.
D. Every one of these 723, 1853. 600
reasons was a dollar deposited by
19,015 banks throughout the
United States in 80 banks and
trust companies in New York city,
all downtown-all downtown.
Of these 723, 1853, 600 reasons
24O, 48O, 900 were loaned by the
New York correspondents. The
remaining reasons, 483, 373, 600 in
number, were included in the
loans which the New York banks
had made on their own account.
Not all of these reasons were
in use for the carrying of specu-
lative holdings of securities, but
many of them were so employed,
and all of them were withdrawn
from the local commercial and in
dustrial activities of the United
States as completely as if they
had been deposited in London or
Paris.
These millions of reasons were
in New York because, under ex-
listing statutes, bank reserves are
irresistibly drawn to the metrop-
oils, partly by law, partly by the
desire of their custodians to earn
2% interest. and partly by the
expectation on the part of these
custodians that when there is a
real or artificial stringency here,
much greater returns may be had.
It is the desire of the authors
of the new banking and currency
bill to establish regional-reserve
banks throughout the country
and to relieve American finances
of the monopolistic control in
.lower Manhattan, which has not
worked to the satisfaction of any,
body except those who have been
of the inner circle.
This purpose has been frustrat-
ed for the moment by the mil
lions Of reasons which we have
named. These reasons plead
powerfully for inaction. They
speak now, as they have spoken
many times in the past. with
more authority than the reasons
that are to be found in the COM
mands of millions of men. New
York World.

Many residents of Stevens
county are living on historic In
dian ground. Wood and vale,
valley and stream were early de-
lights Of the hunters, trappers,
anglers and rowing bands of In
dian predecessors. We retain
many Of the Indian terms in our
geographical expressions, and we
likewise have with US a number
of words which were adopted
during the Hudson's Bay days,
these words being the commonly
termed Chinook, which language
is claimed to have less than 100
words. Such words as skookum,
tillicum, potlatch, are commonly
used, yet the original meanings
are becoming lost in present US
age.
J. A. Meyers of Meyers Falls,
one of the earliest white settlers
of this valley, is an authority on
the original meanings of most of
the Chinook words. During last
Yep-Kanum, when Indian terms
were largely in evidence, he
noted the extravagant meanings
which are now being given to
some of the old Chinook words,
and on his authority we give
some Of the terms most widely
known.
Skookum-Strong
Hi yu-Plenty, much.
Tillicum-Blo relative.
Potlatch Gift, or to give.
Cultus-No account, tri1ing,
little value. Thus a cultus pot
latch would be q free gift, with
no consideration or ulterior mo.
tive.
Mokook Trade, barter.
Muck-a-muck- Food.
Close-G Good.
Spokane ladies have q "Cultus
Club" The Chinook version of
such q name would not be COM
plimentary to the membership.
The word cultus when applied to
a person is an extremely deroga-
tory term, and has become a
word in general use in this coun-
try, Potlatch and pow-wow are
now widely known.

through his piano, whore it lodged.
The side Of the piano was not spin

it in with sharpened tools.
Mr.. Peterson, his wife and three

headed by Profs. He-schel G. Parker
and Belmont Browne, which last june
scaled the mountain to a height Of 90,
600 feet, only 800 feet below the top
most peak.
UOnly q blizzard so severe that nc
human being could stand against it,
said Mr.. Lovoy, ''kept us from gain

fered greatly from snow blindness, in
tense cold and lack Of proper food, fol
the condensed beef that we carried
would not digest after we got above
$4,000 feet"
Mr.. Lovoy will return to Alaska

GEM STATE GOVERNOR
SALT LAKE VISITOR
Idaho, He Says, Is Experience
ing a Steady Growth; APP
pointments This Week.

John NJ. Haines. governor of Idaho
is in Salt Lake City on his return from
2 trip to California. He arrived yes
terday afternoon and will leave this
forenoon for Idaho. While here he has
spent most of his time in the Hotel
Utah and in conference with friends
in this city. Whom seen in the hotel
Yesterday he said;
Idaho is not having boom but
q steady progress. There is no ex-
ageeration in the reports of prog
ress there. The state is young and
is growing in every part In way
that will soon give her prominence
among the most favored of the
states. The report of Commission
er of immigration Samuel Rich has
done much toward letting outside
people know what we have there,
and the report Is n commondable
! one, but Idaho has been making
wonderful growth for several
years.
We have succeeded in raising
the quarantine which California
placed on our products in all but
two counties of the state. Oneida
and Bear Lake counties cannot
send their hay to California but
there il no quarantine on other
parts OF the state. It required
considerable begging and threaten
ing to mako them see the justice
OF our claims, but finally they
agreed to our requests.
Ny trip to California was one OF
business and rest. With the direct
primaries there were practically
two elections and then long seige
of legislature. / am not a natural
politician and the work was wcari-
some to me. ! had intended to go
TO Los Angeles before returning
home. but time was short and j had
10 postpone my visit there.
4 president of the University of
Idaho has not vet been chosen to
succeed President J. A. MacBean,
who resigned to 90 to Manitoba.
/ was sorry to have him leave the
institution as it will be difficult
to get as good man for the place.
The Legislature at the last session
decided on different method Of
managing the state educational in
stitutions. Hereafter there will be
ono board for all. including the
university at Moscow, normal
school at Lewiston, normal school
at Albion, school for deaf, dumb
and blind at Gooding. academy at
Poeatello and industrial school at
St Anthony. I shall appoint that
board sometime next week There
is lot Of work piling up for me

We were in no danger, but we
watched the cyclone for forty-five
minutes before Il struck Omaha. We
watched II come from the southwest
end destroy Ralston. Then IT came
toward South Omaha. nearly TO that
cemetery west Of US. and then turned
toward Omaha.
IT moved slowly. I believe ! could
outrun IL on q good road. but Il was
spinning very fast. II looked like a
column OF smoke on a clear day going
straight UP and spreading out at the
top.
There, was no rain or lightning IN
this cloud and We were not a bit
afraid OF It.
If II had come our way We would
have gone down the street couple
of blocks and been clear OF its path

prairie II was about 900 feet In d.
ameter at the ground and kept
spreading out as II left the ground,
