Monette in his history OF the valley
OF the Mississippi tells OF the habit OF
dress which prevailed in St Louis in
colonial days Here is what he has 10
say:
"The leggings were of coarse linen In
summer and of deerskin in winter.
The principal garment for the men in
cold weather was generally coarse

and long vest. The capote served the
double purpose OF cloak and hat for

the females on festive occasions. At
other times they also used the hand

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
Congressman from che Fourteenth Crstriet

! concerning such states as Louisiana
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa
In another debate Senator McDuffie,
of South Carolina, aired the following
definition of Oregon and Washington:
"A vast and treeless waste where ag-
ricultural development is impossible. -
What would the ancient senator say
today IL he could see a train-load ship
ment OF Oregon apples?
In his opposition to the great north
western purchase, McDuffie waxed eio-
quent in describing the desolate flu
ture to which Oregon was condemned
for all time.
"Of what use will this be for agricul-
tural purposes he demanded of the
senate. Il would not for that pur-
pose give a pinch, of snuff for the
whole territory. Who are We to send
there? Do you think your honest
farmers in Pennsylvania, New York.
or even Ohio and Missouri. will aban-
don their farms to go upon such en-
terprise? God forbid"
Senator Dickson, of New Jersey.
was Just as insistent that oregon
would never amount to anything. o.
United States" he said. eff we extend
our laws to It We must consider it as
a colony. Is the territory of oregon
ever to become a state. a member of
the union? The union is already too
extensive"
Those men and their predictions
have fallen into dust. But even the
great Daniel Webster was one OF
those who believed that because coun-
try was new and unsettled it could
have no future development. In op-
posing the acquisition of Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and California. to the
suggestion that this territory might be
capable of development he replied:
81 have never heard of anything,
can not conceive of anything, in itself
more absurd and more affrontive to
all sober judgment. Mexico and Call
fornia are not worth a dollar"
Similar things are now being said
OF Alaska. 1t is probable that the pre-
dictions today are just as wide of the
mark as were those of Webster, Nc
Duffie and Dickerson.

nave you ever been at the seashore
on n clear. cold day in winter with
stiff gale blowing? There Is something
axhilarating in buttoning your coat up
to the chin and breasting the wind.
Out on the water as far as you can
see the waves seem to be tumbling
over one another, like wild animals
playing leapfrog. Near by at regular
intervals a huge billow comes rolling
in curves. It's crest breaks into
white foam like the name Of gigantic
horse and seethes on the smooth beach.
1t was such a day as this that /
stood on a dune looking seward. 1t
was all ocean and beach, except for
dock built of planks and spiles, the
waves rolling under the former and
past the latter. Back of the dunes was
village, of which the inhabitants
were fisher folk, making precarious
living out on the inconstant waters.

AN ACHIEVEMENT WORTHY
OF APPROVAL.

When Charles T. Kindt succeeded
in engaging the National Grand Opera
Company OF Canada. for a perform
ance OF Lohengrin at the Illinois thea
tire Feb. &c. as indicated by his tele-
gram from Chicago to The Argus last
week. he scored triumph for this To-
cality that should be attended by a
hearty response on the part OF the
people OF the three cities.
In company and production the at
traction will be precisely the same as
that which appears in Chicago and St.
Louis, only few OF the cities OF lesser
magnitude being favored and these are
Rock Island. Peoria and Des Moines.
The company claims $50 people
with it's own orchestra OF SIS pieces
and in the wonderful opera OF Lohen-
grin an all star cast will appear. in
Guiding Marie Rappold. Guiseppi
Gaudenzi. NJ. Salzinger. Rosa olitzka
and Giovanni MARITIME while the en-
tire company and equipment will be
the same that Is seen at the Auditor
ium in Chicago. The company travels
in its own special train of six coaches.
II is only because OF the fact that
the Illinois theatre has one OF the
largest stages in the country. and be-
cause the people here and in the ad-
joining cities are known TO appreciate
and patronize the best in stage produc-
lions. that this city has been included
the favored few outside OF the
real metropolises.
II has been many years since the
has had a chance to see
real grand opera II has been many
years since an opera company OF such
pretentious character has been
brought here. II has never been that
a company quite the equal OF the Ma
tional Grand Opera company of Can
ada has stopped in the three cities.
II will be many years. perhaps, before
