A full blooded squaw and her
seven-year son walked quietly
into one of the drug stores In this
city one day last week and stood
gazing about them In apparent
wonder. Tho boy seemed 10 take
a lively interest in the various
things about, and stood spell-bound
as the busy clerk drew two coca
colas and sold a Saturday Evening
Post TO a drummer.
An eastern man sat at one Of the
tables and watched the two Indians.
He was fresh from New York. and
had heard stories Of the Indians OF
tse west--of their strange customs
and maunres. OF thier untutOred
ways. of their simpleness and
frankness. and Of their ignorance OF
the ways Of the white man. 1t was
natural therefore. for the eastern
err TO be curious concerning the two
representatives of the American
redmen standing before him. "I'll
wager that this Is the first time
those two we're ever in a store be-
fore" thought he. as he regarded
them closely. II suppose they
can hardly speak a word OF English
FIN going to see II l can find
out" Whereupon he approached
the Indian woman. and summoning
the best Chinook jabber at his COM
mand, he asked. "Cumtux Boston
man wa-wa7"
For a moment the woman looked
him over cody. and then turned
TO the amused clerk and said,
would you mind showing me some
Of your latest brands of talcum
powder? The wind and sun play
havoc with my complexion. And
Willie wants an ice-cream cone"
They carried the eastern mar out
on 2 stretcher.

The Alabama Minstrels, forty
strong played at the Auditorium
last Saturday before a crowded
house. The troupe. which usually
apears in its oNn tent, secured the
Auditorium after refusing to pay
the s25 license demanded by the
city authorities for tent shows.
The bill was replete with the
usual endmen gags and repartee,
songs ana dances. The nine-piece
orchestra was perhaps the most
appreciated feature Of the whole
program Its appearance both on
the stage and in the pit creating
favorable comment. The after-show
circus style, was given at an extra
price. and the dance scheduled to
take place after the performance
was not held on accoun of a mis-
understanding.
On the whole, the affair was
about an average representation of
the present day negro minstrels. A
portion of the audience expressed
their dissatisfaction. but it must
b. admitted that the box office
receipts were all to the merry.

all approved by the critics OF the
legislature, because at the time they
severely critised that body, or more
particularly the senate, for defeat
ing bond issues involving many
thousands OF dollars for enlarge
ments at these institutions.
For the capitol building and
grounds and for the penal and
charitable institutions. the legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000 more for
the biennial period than was APP
propriated in 1911. Similarly 1t
appropriated for our educational in
stitutsons s177O4S.20 more than in
1911. Half of this increased amount
must, OF course, be made available
for the current year, and the board
of equalization was thus forced to
raise this year for our state In
stitutions s131.02d.10 more than
was raised last year.
Make Both Euds Meet.
IF now we add the last named
amount to the s157,50a which. as
shown above. It was necessary to
raise to meet new and unusual ex-
pcnses, Il will be seen that the
board Of equalization was forced to
provide In 1913 for the payment of
s2sS,524.10 more than vas re-
CURED In 1912.
when IL is remembered that In
order to pay s~2ss,524.10 addition
al, an increase of only s~24.23s.73
Is asked for In direct taxes. the
difference being saved elsewhere or
met from the Increased revenues
earned by the various departments,
4 Is believed that the administra-
ton which has brought such a re-
suit about Is fairly entitled TO the
credit Of having been both econo-
micai and b~usinesslike.
What the People Gain
I'm other words. this administra-
don is making 1t possible for the
people to have a public utilities and
TAX commission costing for this year
$40, 900, a state board OF education
costing $4,000. to pay an old debt
OF $500 for a silver service for the
b~attleship Idaho. to place an exhibit
at San Francisco costing 100000
to expend on their charitable. penal
end educational institutions the in
creased sum of s~t3i,024.1O. and to
pay the whole additional bill aggre-
gatins s~2sS,52410 by raising thru
direct taxes the small additional
sum of $~24,23S.13.
Il doubt IL our people will ever
ask or expect any state administra-
ton 20 make a better record than
this"

PARCELS POST MONEY SAVER.
Moro Than Half Million Dollars Re.
tanned by People in Fifteen Days.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Not only has
the parcel post saved the people OF the
United States in the first fifteen days
of its existence more than S50e.ooo, ac-
cording to Senator Bourne. Jr., author
of the law, but it has not proved
hardship to the overworked letter car
riers. Senator Bourne yesterday an
nouEced that reports from forty-nve
leading cities of the country. which
produce almost half of the postal rev
enues, showed that during the twelve
working days between Jan and 10
total of 5,oa4o27 outgoing parcels were
dispatched at cost OF *39o.2so, OF
about "a cents parcel.
Under the postage rates previously
in force, / cent per ounce. said the
senator, 1.-THE postage would have been
an average of 1872 cents Der parcel, or
a total of se42,c9490, thus showing a
saving to shippers OF $541.aOS.l2 on
twelve days business. 1t should also
be remembered that the usual mini
mum charge Of express companies is %
cents per parcel. whereas the average
charge on the parcel post packages was
only ~ cents.
ut is also worthy Of note that. al
tho the business was large, it was dis
tributed thru large postal organiza-
ton so that no congestion has resulted.
The postoffice clerks in these forty-five
cities have handled an average of only
twenty-eight parcels each per day. this
including both incoming and outgoing
parcels. The total number Of parcels
delivered in these cities makes an aver
age of only nine and one-third per
carrier per day."
