HERE'S ANOTHER PROTESTANT
WHO HAS BECOME
AROUSED.

Dear Sir: 1t is about twenty years
since L was convinced Of some Of the
evils Of the Roman Catholic religion
and Of their purpose to unite Church
(Catholic), and State, but never sus-
pected that they would be able to en-
Irvine their tenacles about the differ
ent departments Of the United States
Government as they now seem to be.
That before another period Of twenty
years goes into history, many peiple
who now treat the matter as a joke
will be wondering why Americans
have been so stupid in self-conf-
dence, is my more recent conviction.
With best wishes for success in
your efforts to awaken the public,
and kindest personal regards, [ am,
Respectfully,
Ga. PROTESTANT.

UNNATURAL CONDITIONS EXIST
IN THIS COUNTRY.

Dear Sir: To where are we drift
ing as a nation? See how unnatural
are the condition of this grand coun-
try the country is all right, though
it is being aWfully managed. We
are an infant nation, SO to speak, and
at the rate we are going won't our
country land in 'hades" in a few
more years? Our money, the very
life blood of the people being horded
up by the banks, business stagnated,
no man can calculate with any GER
tainty. The people SO demoralized
that they have no idea what to ex-
pect next. Those who should be pat
riarchs and look to the peoples in
terest, have proven to be nothing
more than scheming politicians who
have entirely lost sight of the interest
of the people. What are the people
to do? Are we helpless? Are we
to give way to self designing politi-
clans who are controlled by the
money power, and suffer them to
ruin the country? Has the rank and
file lost their manhood? I am at a
loss to believe that we as people,
are incapable of self government
Our monetary system is a shame to
civilization, it isn't run in the in
terest of the people at all, the mon
eyed oppression is becoming SO great
that surely the people will not stand
it a great while longer. We need a
new political party if any people ever
did; our two old parties have out
lived their usefulness, and should be
supplanted by party which would
legislate in the interest Of the whole
people. A party which would oppose
banks Of issue, or at least unless the
government would come to the peo-
pies rescue in time of emergency.
Look back please, say twenty years,
and see the difference then and now.
Gradually going from bad to worse.
This country never was in such con-
dition since, colonial days, while we
were governed by the oppressive
laws of England.
Well might it be impressed upon
the minds Of the people, to reflect,
and study. to where are we drifting
as a nation. We might be able to
bring about a change at the ballot
box, all men are not rascals. 1t is
inevitable to me that a change will
have to come some way sooner or
later. Our regional system, isn't it
"hOney?" Well, I didn't expect
anything, and those who expect moth
ing shall be deceived not.
The idea that the banks are the
prime cause Of the conditions, and
then refuse to let out money no mat
ter what security is offered. If the
government as the agent Of the peo~
pie, would do it's duty, it would as
sist the people when the banks re-
fuse. Though the trouble is, the
banks control the government, and
will continue to do so as long as we

WHO is REALLY RESPONSIBLE?

Dear Sir: It was indeed with deep
regret [ read in the Times and
Journal Of yesterday, the details Of
the Marshall tragedy. 1t is but an
other attempt to meet, by physical
violence the great issue before the
American people today.
There is an effort being made to
ignore this side, but it cannot be
done What are the facts in the case?
Here is q free American citizen, be-
fore an intelligent audience, each
having equal rights one to another
as guaranteed by our constitution.
He makes charges likely from eX-
perienco he probably can sustain, but
instead of these charges being met
fairly and sQuarely by an able OPP
pOnent, the audience is presumed to
be so dense Of intellect, so incapable
Of ascertaininG whether or not they
have been given authentic facts, it is
resolved the speaker must leave on
short notice. Breathing the air of
freedom, however, purchased so
dearly by our beloved forefathers;
having o sense Of security afforded
and guaranteed under the broad
mlndedness Of the trainers of our
constitution genuine manhood will
not be thus intimidated. especially
when he is Of the conviction he may
benefit his fellow beings.
While Pr0tostants are eXpending
approximately $30,000,000 per year
to convert Catholics iu foreign coun-
tries, Catholicism is, according to re-
liable information, spending $780,
100000 to make America, the foun-
tainhoad, Catholic.
She has avowed to do this by
utterances Of her brilliant church
officials and Professionalism in general
is as determined she will not. Why?
Just turn toward old Mexico for an
answer. Who are running the priests,
nuns and Catholics out Of that coun-
try? Prctcstants? No, Catholics
are doing it and they alone are re-
sponsible Yet, the church appeals
to the United States to assist it in
enforcing religion, according to their
view, upon a people who have tried

KILLED BEAR WITH CLUB.
Florence Miner, s. A. DeFlong Forced
to Fight in Primitive Way.

A bear story comes from the Florence
country, the telling of which causes
one IS hair to raise and indicates again
man 5 superiority over animals. $. A.
DeFlong, who has been prospecting in
that camp through the summer is the
hero for to him belongs the credit of
being the only man who has so far as
known licked Il bear this season De
Flong was panning gravel for gold in
one of the numerous streams of the
Florence camp one day of the late sum
mer when he was interrupted by the
barking of his bear dogs who had cor
nered some animal across nearby
ridge. DeFlong made his way over to
the thicket and Found the dogs had
put large brown bear up tree. Not
withstanding his being armed with only
a 3S he opened up on the bear and
after firing several shots at him with
out any more effect that bringing out
several streams of crimson, DeFlong
decided to await further developments
and took his station directly under the
tree. After an hour or two of this he
decided he would give him the last
shot anyway and fired away, breaking
the bears right shoulder. The bear
came tumbling out of the tree and
when he struck the ground made rush
for DeFlong, who with an empty revol-
yer in open hand and hunting knife
in the other, side-stepped for the time
being and grabbed a four-foot club.
With the club in one hand and the
hunting knife in the other he closed in
on the bear and dealt him blow after
blow over the head and across the neck,
the dogs in the meantime nipping at
attention when he was about to get the
best of the fight. The struggle kept
up for ten or fifteen minutes when De
Fiong succeeded in knocking the bear
down with a heavy lick and before he
was able to get on his feet again the
nervy prospector rushed III and cut the
bears throat, delivered several stab,
and put the bear out of business. Wher
questioned why he did not run wheI
the bear came down DeFlong stated il
would have been useless as the bea1
would have overtaken him anyway
some reasoning that while logical woult
not appeal to the average man with
like experience.

SHIPPING HORSES TO OMAHA.
Five Carloads Taken From Camas
Prairie for European War

Lewiston, Nov. 4.-There was shipped
through here yesterday by way of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company 5
carloads of horses, which have recently
been purchased by the horse buying
firm of Goldberg & Marks, presumably
for final shipment to the European bat
tie fields. Three cars of the horses
were loaded on the ears at Vollmer,
one ear at Grangeville and one car at
Kamiah The horsese were gathered
from wide range of territory.
1t is reported by those who are ae-
quainted with the situation that
horses are getting to be a somewhat
scarce article on the ranges of the
Clearwater and Salmon river, and that
although there are a number of fine
brood mares owned in the sections to
the east and south, there is a general
impression prevailing among stock
men that in the nearfuture for mum,
Der of years at least horses of good
grade will command ready market and
good prices.-Lewiston Tribune.

DITCH ALMOST COMPLETED TO FURNISH
WATER FOR STATION CREEK PLACERS

Ten Mile country this coming season.
The gold which is obtained is coarse
and some fine large nuggets are found
in some OF the workings. indicates
that the deposits are local in origin
and come from disintegrated lodges
nearby. The placers of Simpson and
Overman, and that of Kee and Streicht
are below the Smith Brothers quartz
popertes and there are a number of
rich lodges which have been discovered
and which show up rich in values.
Those who are busy in the Ten Mile
developing that section are very much
interested in seeing road up the South
Fork from Grangeville and visitors are
questioned closely concerning the pros
poets of the road being finished as far
as the trail bridge. When it is com
pleted this far they are all hopeful that
arrangements can be completed where
by the road will be extended on up to
Elk. If necessary private interests
will assure the extension. At any rate
the men interested in the Fisher plac-
ers will see that it is completed that
far and then Ten Mile men will work
for its further construction up their
way.
The general opinion, especially in
mining centers and among mining men
is that the coming season will see a big
boom in the mining industry and es.
pecially in gold mining. At the pres
ent time the biggest boom is on in the
copper, lead and zinc mining sections
where every available miner is being
worked and where millions in dividends
are being paid on properties which have
laid dormant for some time. AS the
war nears the point of exhaustion the
lead, zinc and copper boom will subsidt
a trifle and a large amount of money
will he turned towards gold mining
The prospects look good for ldahC
county which is exceedingly rich il
! gold and silver mines which are laying
practically undeveloped at the presen
time.

Emmett, the county seat of Gem
drew the twelfth company of militia in
the Second regiment, Idaho National
Guard. This announcement was made
by Adjutant General Grow Friday fol
lowing his trip to that city, where he
met those interested in the company S
organization who were anxious to have
the new county seat enrolled III the
regiment By placing the twelfth com
pany there, the battalion that lacked
one company in southern Idaho will be
filled. 1t is understood that arrange
ments are being made to muster in the
company, which will be known as NJ.
on Friday night of this week.
There was a lively contest for Com
pany M. Parma and Grangeville were
both in the contest with Emmett. But
Emmett won because Emmett had been
working hard on an organization and
was entitled to recognition. 1t was
found difficult to secure a man to take
the captaincy, but it is understood that
this matter has been satisfactorily set
tied and that when the election is helC
one of the prominent citizens of En-
nett will be elected.
In the event there is another com
pany in northern Idaho that finds it il
necessary to drop out of the regimen
it will be mustered out and new com
pany mustered in at Grangeyille. Th
latter city has an armory, range AM
sufficient men signed to organize am
house company tomorrow.
Emmett has rs on its list and at tn

AND MAY BE LEASED.

Mr. Bell came in from Boise last
Thursday night and Friday morning
was a guest of the faculty of the en-
gineering college at Moscow and at the
request of Dean little delivered a
splendid address to faculty and stud
ents on the mineral resources of the
state, their variety, widespread dis
tribution and the excellent opportuni-
ties for engineering endeavor they
present to the present and future
students of the university.
A thorough examination of the ashes

tor, who left for Kamiah Saturday to
make an investigation the request OF
the state land board The asbestos de
posits, which are owned by the state
are said to be among the most valuable
in the northwest. The state has al
ready leased a portion of the lands ano
application has been made for addition

derstood that the state has adopted I
policy of home manufacture in tht
handling of the product, the leases con
itaining clause preventing the leeseet
from having the product manufacturer

Mr.. Bell emphasized the importane,
of the Coeur 'Alene district with it
quarter of billion dollars worth o
mineral production in a quarter of
century, and expressed the opinion tina
the history yet to be written of tn
Occur d'Alene district would discoun
its great record of the past and tha
new mineral discoveries would con
tinue to be made, as development pre-
gressed in that famous mining field
and maintain its records as an activ

PLANS LAID.
GOV. ALEXANDER WILL COME
Record of 5000 Animals ON Exhibition
of Past Years Will be Surpassed
This Year.

All conditions indicate that the An
nual Northwest Livestock Show at Lew
iston the week of November 30 9Decem
ber 4, will be the greatest in the his
tory of that institution. This opinion
is based upon reports received by the
officers of the Northwest Livestock As
sociation, under whose auspices the
show is held. These reports are to the
effect that larger number of animals
will be on display than has been the
case in the past, while the quality also
promises to establish new standard.
Exhibits are coming from all the prin-
cipal sections of the four Northwest
states. The magnitude of the show,
which is now in its seventh year, can
be judged by the fact that at some of
the past exhibitions over 5000 animals
were on display. reports made by the
railroads, based upon inquiries recei 1d
leave no doubt that the attendance OF
people will far surpass that of any pre-
vious show.
While the Northwest Livestock As
sociation comprises the leading stock

they are receiving a hearty cooperation

EXAMINING STATES ASBESTOS LANDS

remote districts of the state and their
extensive resources of low grade gold,
silver, and copper bearing ores and the
opportunities for extensive mining and
milling operations along those lines.
He also described the interest mani
tested in the Idaho exhibit at the San
Francisco exposition, of rare mineral
substances including Tungsten Molyb-
dinum, cobalt t-niekle, and mercury ores
and the non-metalic minerals including
asbestos, Portland cement, coal, clay,
Tripoli stone, and fertalizer minerals,
including potash, nitrogen, and phos-
pate rocks, the latter mineral he des-
cribed as occurring in exhaustless beds
of the finest quality, in the southeast
ern Idaho counties, and which he con-
siders susceptible of renewing and con-
serving the primary fertility of the
soil of the entire United States, and
potentially the richest mineral asset of
the state, susceptible of proving an
industrial basis to Idaho of equal value
and volume that its coal resources have
proven to Pennsylvania.
| Mr.. Bell referred to the present
policy of the national government in
its effort to permanently aleniate two
thirds of the area of the state from
local control under the guise of con-
servation, and emphasized the neces-
sity of uniform protest against the at
tempt of the federal authorities to con-
fiseate the commonwealth of our people
and invaluable revenue producing as
sets of their natural resources, other
than agriculture which now bears such
an undue share of the burdens of taxa
tion.
Mr.. Bell was shown through the
various departments of the state uni
versity and expressed himself as highly
pleased with its splendid equipment and
the complete opportunities afforded it's
students. He was especially interested
in the mining, metallurgy, and engi-
neering department and believes the
short course offered free to prospec-
tors, should and will, be highly ap-
preciated and attended.-Moscow Star
