Muzzling the
Minority.

{ The Republican minority in
the House has been trying for
weeks to unload a speech by
Congressman julius Kahn OF San
Francisco, critizising the Attor-
nev General for his course in the
Diggs- Caminetti white slave
matter. How effectually the
muzzle has been applied is shown
in the proceedings of the House
one day recently. Having OBJ
tuined the floor for FIVE minutes.
the Californian observed that
the majority /" do not want to

act of the Attorney General OF

that the gentlman is not proceed
ing in order" Speaker Clark
sustained the objection. Then
Republican Leader Mann, who
has acquired way of getting
peevish and cranky, came to the
defense of this colleague, and
characterized an opinion of the
Attorney General as "rotten
opinion Mr.. Kahn started
again and charged that the
Attorney General was influenced
by political pull to influence
him in the setting of certain
white slave cases tor trial" Up
bobbed Byrns again with an
objection, The Speaker ordered
Mr.. Kahn to proceed in order. =
The Californian did proceed. ut

when he WAS cut short in the

secured two additional minutes,

serves to illustrate the impossib-
iiitv of getting bv the stone wall

The
Celebration.

To the business man, the ques.
tion arises, what was accomp-
lished by the celebration. We
believe that a great many new
corners took the opportunity Of
visiting our town and OF becom-
ing acquainted with us. We
have a fine town here. 1t is pic.
turesquilv located and it is a
natural business center. We
have a rich country tributary.
The town itself and country was
we'll advertised by the celebrat-
ion. There was in the celebrat-
ion itself few things that were
advertising of a rather unsavory
character. We claim that many
OF our visitors were practically
'held up" for there money.
They were overcharged for food
and Accommodations; they had to
pay a great deal more than
usual or proper for their amuse
ments. We edo not believe III this
kind OF advertising. If we had
treated our visitors fairly, they
would speak well of us, but hav-
ing been treated unfairly and
charged excess prices for a great
many things, they will report
this cut amongst their friends
and the result will be that Oak
ley will have the name of being
very expensive place to live when
the opposite is really true, tor
our normal prices are very rea-
sonable.
We believe in the square deal
for everybody.

Borah and the Pro-
tectorate Plan.

Senator Borah has strong op-
inions in reference to the treaty
arranged by Secretary Bryan
with Nicaragua. by the terms of
which the United States estab-
lished a protectorate over that
country. He asserts that the
Nicaraguan people do not want
a prOpectora.e and that insofar
as corruption existing in the
government, he opines that Mic
aragua is doubtless far better
governed than New York City
or Cuba. He says that the
government of Cuba, where this
country has protectorate, is
one of the most corrupt IN the
world, and that even the courts
are not pure. He ridicules the
idea that the Monroe doctrine
requires the Nicaraguan arrange
ment. and contends that the
policy OF this country contem.

Kuhns not

HAD CLOSING OF BANK BEEN
HELD BACK FEW DAYS 1T
MOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN NECESSARY.

Had the Kuhns been allowed
to continue a few days they
would have pulled out OF their
temporary financial embarrass-
ment and made unnecessary the
closing of the First Second Ma
tional bank of Pittsburg. Such
is the opinion of Milton Young.
cashier of the Flrst-Second Ma
tional bank of Pittsburg, as et
pressed to A. WAYNE Cook or
Pittsburg, with extensive timber
interests in Idaho, who was in
Boise Monday. "a!
MIR. Cook is a prominent f
in financial circles IN Pitts
He says the Krhc tailur -.
temporarily tied up some s32'
900, 900 OF capital, but has not
materially affected confidence.
"A few days after the Kuhn
failure" said Mr.. Cook, Il met
Milton Young, cashier of the
First Second National bank.
(The First and Second banks
were consolidated as one lnstitu-
tion.) Mr.. Young told me that
had the Kuhns been able to go
along a few days further they
would have pulled through and
the closing of the First Second
would have been unnecessary.
Outlook is Good.
Several country banks have
been embarrassed as result of
the closing. but financial .rsries
have not been embarrassed, and
confidence has not been impaired.
The people are we'll satisfied
with c. c, Murray, the receiver
OF the Kuhn banks. He is a cap
able man for the position. and 10
handling it well.
"Other banks in Pittsbur0
came forward three days after
the closing of the Kuhn banks
and offered the depositors 80
cents on the dollor for their acs-
counts. The general impression
IN Pittsburg is that the Kuhn
concern will pay 100 per cent.
The most pessimistic financiero
predict better than so per cent !"
Interested In Idaho.
Mr.. Cook is extensively in
terested in Idaho timber. He
holds some 10000 acres in the
Long valley country. He only
stopped in Boise at this time on
his way to the Pacific coast and
he says he does not at this time
intend to commence any lumber
ing operations.
II do not believe the time for
logging is now,' Said Mr.. Cook.
:" believe | will do better with
my timber to wait until later be-
tore putting in any plant. Just
now conditions in the business
world are some what unsettled"
Asked what effect the butting
on the free list of lumber might
have on the industry. Mr.. Cook
said he did not believe it would
inJure the business in Idaho, al
though it might operate to dam
pen somewhat the timber indus
try on the coast. He said he
could see no competition with
northwestern timber save from
Canada. and expressed the opin-
ion that it costs nearly as much
to cut timber in Canada as it
does i'll the United States.

Gerawly was written by clerk In

that of Charles PawIet, afterward
third Duke of Bolton. who died In
1854. In I'LL. while his father, the
second duke, was still alive, Pawlet
was made peer as Lord Pawlet OF
Basing, although the intention OF the

writ of summons had been made out
to Lord Pawlet of Basing, and Pawlet
