P. M. Lachmund, general sales man.
ager of the Potlatch Lumber company
has gone east to represent the COM
pany at the Forest Products exhibit
tons at Chicago and at New York. The
Western Pine association will have as
the principal feature of it's exhibit a
partly finished bungalow showing the
different framing and exterior and in
terror woods of the Inland Empire.
These woods, being less snowy than
the decorative hardwood finish stocks
of the east and the enormous timbers
of the coast, will interest principally
practical builders and painters pat
ternmakers and the like. The primary
object of the exhibitions is to reach
consumers and the retail dealers and
who are not as ri G
acquainted with the cheapness, utility,
beauty and durability of the many
commercial lumbers of the country.

the Denver conference as the commits
sion's representative and there met
with the Representatives of the express
companies. The object of the meeting
was to formulate basis for express
charges after the system prescribed
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion and so as to avoid conflicts be-
tween interstate and intrastate rates
applicable to the express business
These rates will not be discriminatory
and the commission having been adj
vised by it's expert accountant that it
will prevent conflict as between intra
and interstate rates and will result in
a general reduction of the express
rates, issues the order allowing the ex-
press companies to file their schedule
to become effective as of the date of
April 10.

Native Enterprises Flourish.

All the native enterprises, charac-
teristic of Mexico are flourishing. The
burro peddlers, corresponding to the
push cart vendors of New York's low
er east side, are out en- masse. On all
the streets donkeys loaded down with
chickens may be seen. The fowls
mainly of the dominecker variety
alive, are swung heads down, from
all sides of the saddle and across the
neck of the burro. The vender sits
in the saddle, and thus rides through
the residence districts, where the
housewives come out into the street
and bargain for the fowls.
Milk, ice, mineral water, fresh
fruits and beef and mutton are ped
died in the same manner, the vender
stringing his wares all over his beast,
donkey or horse, as the case may be.
The sight of such a vender never fails
to excite the interest and mirth of the
blue jackets and the American colony.
All of the shops along the Avenida
Independcia-the Fifth avenue, or F
street of Vera Cruz-and around the
Plaza, are open again and doing a
thriving business Vera Cruz, never
before saw such a run on picture post
cards and souvenirs of all kinds. And
the haberdaSheries, the tailor shops
are doing thriving business. Amer
lean refugees from Mexico City were
forced to flee with only the clothes on
their backs and had to stock up on
their arrival. And the army of cor
respondents and photographers from
the United States who came down on
warships had barely time enough to
get away with the clothes they wore.
All these people are buying outfits of
every description.

City Election Registration.
Moscow, Idaho, May 10, 191


Several inquiries having come tt
me as to registration for the coming
special city election on bond issue FOL
paving, wish to state that all per
sons wishing to vote at such election
must register on or before June I'd
1914. Registration for previous cleo
lions will not entitle you to vote. Any
person who is a citizen and taxpayer
and has the required residence can
vote.
The definition Of taxpayer is:
Taxpayers.
! persons, whether men Or women
who have real or personal property
as owners thereof, but claim an ex-
emption from taxation, to the amount
of the valuation of said property, can
not vote.
Heirs of an estate not distributed,
will not be entitled to vote, on account
of their interest in such estate.
1.-THE mere fact that one pays a poll
or dog tax does not entitle them to
vote.
Persons claiming an interest or
having an interest as a member of any
fraternal, social, religious or benevel-
ent company or corporation, which
pays no taxes, are not entitled to
vote, unless they have and own in
dividual real or personal property,
subject to taxation at the date of
such election.
"Any person, otherwise qualified,
who is the bona fide owner of real
or personal property, subject to tax
alton for state, county, or municipal
on the date of said election,
which is not claimed as exempt from
taxation, is entitled to vote.
Where community property is held
in the name of either husband or wife,
and is subject to taxation at the date
Of the said election, free from exemp
tons, then both husband and wife can
vote; community property is that prop
srty acquired during the married re-
Iations of the parties.

Making Charcoal
On The Farm

Charcoal, made from corn cobs,
is valuable by-product of the
corn crop. The method Of burning
the cobs is simple and requires very
little time. The first thing to do is
to dig hole in the ground about
six feet deep and five or more feet
in diameter. Build fire in the
pit and when it is burning we'll, fill
in the excavation with cobs and
tramp them down as tight as posi-
BILE. When this is done cover the
top of the pit with piece of old
sheet iron and shovel on dirt to
make the hole as near air tight as
possible. Cobs burned in this man.
ner form excellent charcoal which
is essential in growing swine OF

Working Hard To Keep
Things From Happening

In the March number Of the Wo-
man s Home Companion, there ap-
pears "The Flood" one Of Zona
Gales refreshing neighborhood
stories describing life in Friendship
Village. One Of the leading citi-
zen s about ito put the screws on"
another citizen, finds his intentions
and desires strangely changed, at
ter an all-day wrestle with the ris-
ing waters, when the entire pop
ulation turns out to assist those
whose homes are flooded.
"Don't these folks seem much
more folks than they ever did be-
fore?" exclaims Calliope Marsh,
the heroine Of these human little
stories, as the tired workers turn
their faces towards home and a
well-earned rest.
"Why, of course her neighbor
exclaims, "they're in trouble. Ain t
you no compassion to you?'
"Some," Calliope replies, "but
where'd that compassion come
from? 1t didn't just grow up now,
did it,"
"Why, no. the speaker replies
irritably. cts in us all of course.
But it takes trouble to bring it
out"
"Why does it take trouble to
bring it out?" And then Calliope
states her creed: "Oh when we get
to working as hard to keep things
from happening as we work when
it's happened, won't living be
fun!"
In our town during the last year
there have been two things for
which the people have worked.
Both of them tend to keep the
"things from happenings. Many
of our people have failed to grasp
Calliope Marsh's creed. Everyone
in our Friendship Village" did
not join hands to bring about the
success of the plans. Some, rather.
stood aloof, and hurled scorn at
those battling with the difficulties
of defiant opposition.
Had the fire that might have
started in the middle of the town
sweeping away home after home,
and thousands and thousands OF

property, been an actuality, do you
not think that common danger
would have made us forget our diff
ferences? Had the citizens stood
shoulder to shoulder, through the
weary hours Of the night, fighting
desperately the destroying flames,
would they not now unanimously
applaud the progressive fremen
whose energy and foresight has add
ed to the town equipment?
Then the sewer. The trouble
did come to few homes, but was
mercilessly withheld from the
many. Where would be the bitter
opposition, the mercenary counting
Of the pennies, had the precaution
been postponed until disease had
done it's worst and robbed us Of our
most promising and best? Thank
God for the discerning few, who
have turned the calamity from our
community.
And then there's the working end
Of it.
"All of a sudden Mis- Merriman

morning together and our feeling
together had made us forget what
ever there's been between us to

If we know Of something the
town needs, let's not balk at the
possibility Of work, but get togeth-
er and get it. We all know the
dead church is the one that is too
rich to need to work in order to
support itself. It's the same way
with a town. We all know the
carnival did us good. We met and
talked with lots Of people we had
been disliking form afar, and found
them kind and human after all.
Let s bury our differences, get to-
gether, catch the big idea, and
work for greater Newark, and, in
