There is an extremely good
prospect for securing another
new industry for st. Maries, a
box factory and shinkle mill. M.
p. Boyle who secured the st. Mar
les Lumber company plant for
this city is behind this move
ment and is pushing it with his
we'll known energy.
Mr.. Boyle has no connection
with the company who will put in
the plant. He happened to learn
in Spokane that the company was
desirious of locating somewhere
in this vicinity, either in eastern
Washington or Northern Idaho
and were considering PROPOSE
tions from Standpoint, Priest Riv-
er and Newport and at once sug-
gested that st. Maries would be
a better location for it than any
of the other places. He succeed
ed in getting them interested in
this city and secured an agree
ment from them to locate here
providing a site for the plant
would be furnished them, and this
in the face of the fact that Sand
point had already offered a site
and a bonus Of two thousand dol
lars.
Mr.. Boyle then came out to in
terest the citizens here in the
proposition and a meeting of the
business men was held Satur-
day evening at the Kootenai Inn
at which Mr. Boyle explained the
proposition in detail.
The box factory will employ
from twenty-five to thirty men
the year around while the shingle
mill will be about the size of the
Stein Lumber and Single COM
pany's plant and will employ
from fifteen to twenty-five men
all of the time, making from fifty
tc sixty men to be employed in
the enterprise the year around.
The company has already organ
lied and have the capital to carry
on the enterprise. They do not
ask the citizens of st. Maries to
subscribe for any stock or to give
them a bonus. All they ask is
to be furnished with a site which
must be on the river with access
to the railroad. The company

county and was then at Rath-
drum. He stated that the SEN
timent in that town was about
evenly divided for and against
Benwah county division with the
people confused in regard to the
two proposed new counties. He
says that Mr.. Poison, democrat
ic candidate for the legislature,
is working hard for Benwah
county, even to the extent of los
ing votes for himself by so do
ing.
Mr.. Hull feels that the people
of st. Maries owe Mr.. Poison a
debt Of gratitude for the work
that he is doing in the behalf
of county division and should
give him a large complimentary
vote even if the county division
committee does not go to the ex-
tent Of giving him a formal en-
dorsement.

SChenker Will Lower
Office Costs

H. R. Schenker, Democratic

Schenker has been accustomed to
hard work and intends to do all
the work in the Probate Court.
When work becomes pressing an

MORE FOR THE MICROSCOPE
Now 1t Is the Eternal Question of the
"Poor" That Is to Be
Investigated.

Commenting on the fact that an in
vestigation of New York's poor-an in
quiry, backed by millions of dollars,
into the why's and wherefores of the
countless troubles Of those thousands
who are always up against it's to
be made by the Rockefeller founda-
ton, New York newspaper writer
says:
When you have the money you can
do things so promptly. No matter
what it is you want to know about
whether it is germs or phobias or in
dustries or the tariff or a square deal.
no matter what-if you just have the
money you can go for it and compel
1t to unfold.
Now we are to find out about the
poor. When man works Industrious
ly all the year round, there must be
something wrong If he continues to be
poor. Some one must be to blame for
it. No guilty person shall escape.
Maybe they like butter gravy on their
beefsteak; likely as not. We shall
see.
Different persons before now have
taken hand at this investigation, but
merely in cursory, impersonal way.
The metaphysician says poverty is
of the spirit; that what we bring out
is but the manifestation of what we
harbor within.
The Socialist studies from an entire
ly different angle. He says the rich
beat down the poor and that the
money with which the foundation is
made up should be paid out to the
worker in the beginning, and then
there would be no need of any investi-
cation. The impudence!
Orthodoxy bids us all be patient un-
der infections and know that we de-
serve all that we get, in order to test
us out
The theosophist says we are work
ing out the derelictions Of previous
incarnation and that we better hurry
about it, be brave and uncomplaining,
and maybe things will straighten out
suddenly.
The anarchist carries bomb up his
sleeve, and when we start talking
about the poor he makes personal
matter Of it and either throws the
bomb or arouses our suspicious.
Those of us who have troubles Of
our own pull together on the point that
even the Master was reconciled and
said we have the poor always with us.

Masters day!

was inviolable; but at large, that was
different matter.
Arriving at the river brink, they
saw the footprints of the lion on the
wet sand which ran down to the wa

water was not possible for any beast
of the jungle. Yet the lion had van
ished completely, as though he had
been given wings. They stood about

knelt, reached out, and dug his hand

Never had Kathlyn seen such an
enormous beast. From his great pad

stood easily four feet in height, and
hip stripes were almost as broad as

the watcher that, familiar as she was
with the habits of wild beasts, never
had she witnessed a tiger or a lion
enact this domestic scene. Either they
were always pacing their cages, gaz-
ing far over the heads of those who
watched them, or they slept. Even
when they finished a meal Of raw
meat they merely licked their chops;
there was no toilet.
Here, however, was an elaborate
toilet. The great cat licked his paws,

| ted the peace of the temple In the
daytime. She could see the dome from
where she stood. Like Ishmael, she
must go on, forever and forever on
Was God watching over her? Was
1t his hand which stayed the on
slaught of the beast and defeated the
baser schemes Of man? Was there
to be haven at the end? She smiled
wanly. What more was to beset her
path she knew not, nor cared just
then, since there was to be a haven
at the end.
Perhaps prescience brought to her
minds eye a picture: she saw her
father, and Bruce, and Winnie, and
her sweetheart, and they seemed to
be toasting her from the end Of. a
long table, under the blue California
sky. This vision renewed her strength.
She proceeded onward.
She must have followed the river
at least a mile when she spied raft
moored to a clump Of trees. Here
she saw a way of saving her weary
limbs many a rugged mile. She ford
ed the stream, freed the raft and poled
out into the middle of the stream.
1t happened that the Mohammedan
hunters who owned the raft were at
this moment swinging along toward
the temple. On the shoulders OF two
rested pole from which dangled the
llfeless body of newly killed leopard.
They were bringing it in as a gift to
the headman of the village, who was
thoroughgoing Mohammedan, and
who held in contempt Hinduism and
all it's amazing rami1cations.
The white priestess was indeed a
puzzle; for, while the handful Of Mo
hammedans in the village were fanat-
ical in their belief in the true prophet
end his Koran, and put little faith in
miracles and still less in holy men
who performed them, the advent of
the white priestess deeply mystified
them. There was no getting around
this she was there; with their own
eyes they saw her. There might be
something in Hinduism after all.
When the hunters arrived at the
portico of the temple they found two
greatly terrified holy men, shrilling
their "Ai! All" in lamentation and
beating their foreheads against the
earth.
Holy men, what is wrong?" asked
one Of the hunters, respectfully
THE lion has killed our priestess;
the sacred fires must die againl All!
All"
Where is the lion?"
They fed toward the river, and
there he has doubtless destroyed her,
for in evil silva, represented by the
lion, is more powerful than Vishnu, re-
incarnated In our priestess. All All!
She is dead and we are undone!"
Come" said the chief huntsman.
Let us run to the river and see what
these queer gods are doing. Well
present the skin Of silva to our mas
teri" He laughed.
The leopard carriers deposited their
burden and all started off at dog
trot. They had always been eager re-

About kentuckians.

Irwin S. Cobb is a Kentuckian and
proud of it, though he can't resist pok-
ing fun at the Blue Grass state once
in while. He joshed his fellow
Kentuckians at a banquet in New
York one time, telling them that every
one Of them cried or applauded when
the orchestra played my Old Ken
lucky Home" but that not one Of
them could be taken back until the
extradition papers had been fought
through every court.
Cobb delights in stories that have a
Blue Grass flavor, that portray some
of the characteristics Kentuckians
have or pretend to have. Here is one
of his favorites:
A Kentucky colonel always closed
his eyes when he took drink. When
questioned concerning this habit he
readily explained:

said, always makes my mouth watah,

CHAPTER VII.
"Truce Water"


When Kathlyn came to the river
she swerved toward the broadcast
part of it. Twice she stumbled over
boulders, but rose pluckily and.
bruised and breathless, plunged into
the water. 1t was swift running and
shoulder deep, and she was forced to
swim strongly to gain the opposite
shore. She dragged herself up to the
bank and, once there, looked back
What she saw rather astonished her
She could not solve the riddle at first
The lion seemed to be struggling
with some invisible opponent. He
stood knee deep in the sands, tugging
and pulling. He began to roar. Even
as Kathlyn gazed she saw his chest
touch the sand and his swelling flanks
sink lower. Fascinated, she could not
withdraw her gaze. How his mighty
shoulders heaved and pulled But
down, down, lower and lower, till
nothing but the great named head re-
manned in view. Then that was drawn
down: the sand filled the animals

CHAPTER vI-contlnued.

The premier holy man, satisfied that
ne understood Kathlyn's gestures,
turned to the Justly angered villagers
and explained that with his aid their
priestess would, in five suns, recreate
Vishnu In all his beauty Instantly the
Villagers prostrated themselves
Poor things!" murmured Kathlyn.
The holy men sent the natives away,
Nor 1t was not meet that they should
witness magic in the making They
then squatted in the clay court and
curiously waited for her to begin.
There was well in the inner shrine.
To this she went with caution. The
lion was evidently foraging in the jun
gle. Kathlyn filled the copper vessel
with water and returned. Next, she
gathered up what pieces of the idol
she could find and pieced them to-
gether Here was her model. She
then approached one Of the fakirs and
Signified that she had need of his
knife. He demuTed at first, but at
length consented to part with 1t. She
dug up square piece of clay. In fine,
she felt more like the Kathlyn of old
than she had since completing the
leopard in her outdoor studio 1t oc-
cupied her thoughts, at least part Of
them, for she realized that mayhap
her life depended upon her skill in
reproducing the hideous idol
AS the two old hypocrites saw the
clay take form and shape and the
knocking face gradually appear, they
were assured that Kathlyn was in
deed the ancient priestess; and deep
down In their souls they experienced
something of the awe they had often
inspired in the poor. trusting ryot
Kathlyn had talent bordering on
genius. The idol was an exact replica
OF the originl one; more, there was a
subtle beauty now where before there
had been a frank responsiveness. 1t
satisfied the holy men, and the un-
yelling was greeted by the villagers
with such JOY that Kathlyn forgave
them and could have wept over them.
She had made god for them, and
they fell down and worshiped it.
Five more days passed. On the af-
ternoon of the fifth day Kathlyn was
feeding the fire. The holy men sat In
the court at their devotions. Kathlyn
turned from the fire to see them rise
and hee In terror. She In turn fed,
for the lion stood between her and the
sarcophagus! The lion paused, lash
ing his tail. The many recent commo-
tions within and without the temple
had finally reused his ire. He hesi-
tated between the holy men and Kath-
lUR. and finally concluded that she in
the iuttering robes would be the most
desirable.
There was no particular hurry; be-
sides. he was not hungry. The cat in
him wanted to play He loped after
KathIyn easily. At any time he chose
a few swift bounds would bring him
to her side.
Beyond the temple lay the same
stream by which, miles away, Kathlyn
had seen the funeral pyre and about
which she had had 80 weird fantasy.
IL this stream was deep there was a
chance for life.
