course of the Columbia to Athaba ska pass in the Rocky mountains. Here the great river flows from the south east, making a sudden bend in it's course, and the mountains form the water parting between the Pacific ocean and Hudson's bay. In crossing Athabaska pass, which they reached on May 1, the travellers were obliged to use SnOWShOes In fact, the trail was obstructed by snow until they had descended far down the Athabas- ka and Whirlpool rivers. On the Atha- baska their daily advance was hinder ed not only by deep snow, but also consisted of gravel deposits, no doubt of glacial origin, in flat valley, and on this almost impa ssa ble forest had grown up. Ermatinger, who was more interested in fur bearing ani- mals and buffalo than in trees, does not tell us to what species the forest growth belonged but it is easy to guess that they were cVergreens. By May 5th they had made their way through the snow and the sWampy woods and came to a point where ca noes could be used again. Erma- tinger now had only six men with him. Dr. Mclaughlin had left the party 2 little below the 18th parallel at Old Fort ColvilLe From this point to Winnepeg lake fish and game were plentiful. The party saw herds of buffalo and shot as many as they needed. It is interesting to learn from Ermantinger's faithful journal that only bulls were slain. If Amer ican hunters had been wise enough to pursue the same policy, these ami mals would not have been extermin- ated, but on the plains to the south ward they were killed by the thou sands for their hides and horns, no age or sex being spared.
 Besides the intrinsic interest of Er- matingers narrative it derives some economic importance in our day from the project of he Canadian govern ment to build a railroad from the Pacific to Fort York, on Hudson's bay. Such a road would naturally follow the course of the Columbia. to Athsbaska pass and then proceed down the Saskatchewan to Winncpeg lake. Thus Ermatinger's skctchy but entirely reliable observations might become the basis of d scientific sur vey.-Portland Oregonian.

OvERLANOS RECORD
 FOR TWO WEEKS
That Agency Has Sold Nine Cars
 Tn That Time

Nine cars sold in the past two weeks is the record at the Overland garage. Manager Holmes, who has just returned from the great over land convention at Toledo, says that from all over the world the Overland dealers report remarkable increases in the sale of cars, chiefly due, ac- cCrding to the consensus of opinion to the fact that every Overland drlV- cr is an enthusiastic Overland boost CT Merit alone has placed the Over land in the position it occupies today
 Holmes thinks that the summer sociability runs have stimulated auto mobile sales, for the extensive pub licity given Arizona roads and Ari- zona resorts by The Republican, haVF awakened as never before. desire among Arizona people to see more Of Arizona. and see it in the most pleas ant way possible, by auto.
 Two cars have just been delivered to Tempe people, one yesterday go ing to Fred Weeks. Another sale of the very popular thirty horsepower 69T model was to George w. Brown who lives about ten miles west Of Phoenix There now remain only very limited number of cars of eacf model in stock here, and it is i possible to secure more this season. \ new selling plan, which is an in noVation here, has just been an nounced.
 The Overland's machine shop is new in charge of Luke Henderson, an experienced mechanic from Water bury, Conn Another expert factory mechanic is now on the way from Toledo. and with his arrival the Overland force in the repair depart nlent will be an exceptionally strong one.
 Another policy of the Willys- Over land company is soon to be carried out here. for while in the east, MT. O'Neili and Manage Holmes arranged with the main office to send them as 9 district travelling agent, an all around automobile man and sales agent. He is expected soon, and will cover Arizona, making his headquar- ters here Considering it's population. Arizona is the best new territory ever opened up by the Overland peo- pie, and they intend to give this dis trict particularly good service.

ORIGINATING THEMSELVES.

The faculty Of Ames college has

from the collegiate departments Of the
other state schools and even from the
collegiate departments Of our best
small colleges, can take their last year

ce:ving credit for the work they have
Gone in the other schools and gra6u-
lese in which they were prepared in
he liberal arts and from ADaes as well.
This is as tho the college and the
school of science or Of music were To-
Now comes President SECRECY with
the suggestion that he Is ready to do
tae same for all those students who
may wish to prepare themselves in the
colleges of Iowa and specialize in
normal or teaching science at Cedar
Falls during the later years of their
college course. He. too, conceives his
school to be the school Of pedagogics
and a part OF the states educational
system.
All that is lacking IS for the faculty
Of the state university at Iowa City TO
line up for the plan and we will have
started at the coordination Of the
state colleges in Iowa. Once working
it ought TO be easier 10 get Iowa City

WHO'S AFRAID OF DEMOCRATIC TARIFF,

Why do the American people well
come democratic revision Of the tar
If downward without fear or trem-
bling? Why is business so wholly un-
concerned that men have no interest in
an argument as to the tariff anymore?
Surely men who knew the politics Of
Blaine and Cleyeland's days should
marvel at this change in the times. The
democratic tariff bill has been passed
and signed by the president and is a
law but who is afraid? Free coal, free
iron, free wool, free bread. free meat
free lumber and reduced tariffs ali
along the line and yet who cares? The
average protection is cut only from 35
per cent to q per cent ad valorem.
Business in the United States has
changed. Fifty years ago when the
protective tariffs began to grow this
was q nation producing raw materials
and buying manufactured articles from
abroad. Then half Of everything i'm
ported was manufactured before it was
sent to us, now only one-ffth Of our
imports are Of goods manufactured
abroad. The laborers have come over
to W and the goods made by them in
American mills are going abroad to be
sold. Whereas fifty years ago only one
fourth Of the goods we shipped away
were manufactured, now two-thirds OF
Ill our exports are Of goods made in
Anerican mills. What fear have we
now Of foreign factories when we are

Rods of sunshine that are Gods,
Captive sunshine held at bay
While the autumn wears away.
Promise of a coming day
When new flowers shall blow that way.
There they stand. the blackening

Stacks all charred with browns and

Like a nest at biack-scaled snakes,
From whose threats which nothing
slakes,
Jagged tongues of hungry flames
Leap thru darkness none dare name,
Burning day. devouring dark.
Kissing. reeling, spewins spark.
Breathing smokes that writhe and
twist,
Haunting all that dares exist.
Yet this nest OF hendish fame.
Brood all worthy Satan's name,
Rises up from Gods OWE mills,

Where they stand, the lowering roCs.

AS TO HYPOCRISY"
rBoone New.-Repuh1ican.1

lbUOHC
The newspapers OF Iowa universally
recognized the lighting qualities Of
Major Lacey and it is 10 hypocrisy
for those papers which were Disguised
with his aristocratic standpatsm to
speak after he is dead Of the good
traits he possessed. One gets tired OF
the way in which these reactionary
papers turn everything into fault-flnd-
ing OF the opinions expressed by pro-
gressive newspapers. Even the honest
tributes paid by the progressive news
papers, which could recognize that
even as stalwart. Major Lacey had
many brave qualities snapped at az
hypocrisy. This is all wrong. Tho
newspapers which are paying tributes
to Major Lacey are not hypocrites
at ALL The same thing would
happen II Senator Cumins were to
die today. and those newspapers
which are cursing Cummins dur
Ing life would praise him at death.
It Is natural and beautiful to try to
and good qualities Of men who have
passed beyond. That is what the press
Of Iowa is doing with tbs history OF
Major Lacey. but they are not hypo-
critical about 1t. Not one Of them Is
praising the ultra standpatism which
they found fault with In Major Lacey's
life.
It is certainly lamentable that not

press can escape wall Of accuse

THE EPISCOPAL RECOMMENDATIONS.

| The social service commission Of the
| Episcopal diocese of Iowa would enact
| the following regulations for marriage.
II the commission were to have its
way those who may be married by the
clergy OF that church must conform
10 the following regulations.
Both must have been baptized.
Neither may have a divorced hus-
! band or wife living.
Some one known to the rector must
vouch for the identity Of each.
They must bring ar least two per-
sons who know them to act as wit
nesses.
Each must have a physicians health
certificate.
The commission has taken over q
considerable task. To regulate mar
riage successfully is one of the things
which men have found hard inside and
outside the church. The Episcopal
church and all other churches are en-
tirely within their rights when they
shall establish certain requirements
that must be com Piled with before the
services Of the clergy belonging to
such churches may be had to the per-
Torrance of the marriage ceremony.
That is entirely a church matter, be-
| longing especially to the church and
Its clergy and communicates. The
| only question that can be made is as
to It's wisdom.
1r To- hn
requirement OF baptism would, Of
course, be ridiculous. Law is for all.
baptized and unbaptized and the un-
baptized often make good wives and
good husbands. Baptism is not a
principle Of marriage outside of the
churches The time will never come
when the statutes will require the
death OF divorced husband or wife
as a legal propriety OF remarriage.
Those other requirements providing
| two witnesses who know the parties
istaction of the clergyman are excellent
recon mendations and might we'll be
made legal requirements.
| But the divorce question Is not to
be settled by refusal TO marry di-
vorced persons. That simply brings
the question for settlement whether
those persons desire most to be mar
ried or TO stay within the church.
Moreover there is definite opinion
generally held that when men and
women have some TO the pass that they
can not live together they are better
apart and that opinion goes farther
and includes more. The average per-
son will agree that a mistake in mat
rimony should not deprive good man
! or a good woman Of home and chill
dren and possible happiness. And this
opinion is not confined to the unbap-
tized or to non church members.
