BY j. E. JONES

Washington, D. C.-Our Grie =

strained relations between Ger
many and the United States con
tinues to form the principal topic
of discussion in official circles at
Washington. Some of the cores.
pondents at the capital have been
comparing notes among themselves
trying to figure out the hair split
ting processes of diplomatic ex-
changes, whereby days and weeks
are consumed in getting out a let
ter of the length that good news

wires" in couple of hours.
Washington is the .'rnelt;no not,
for the nations opinions. and i,
'ias oeerl brought home to the
g .pital that the man in the street,
the laborer, the farmer at his plow,
the business man and capitalist,
revolts at the suggestion of The
"jingoes" who would pile Ameri.
can soldiers into the hungry
trenches to initiate the preforman
ces of Europeans.
Germany's first note fell prett,
flat when it reached Washington
and it evoked some uncomplimen
tary remarks. But, outside of thc
first few days following the des
truction of the Lusitania, there ha!
been no war sentiment in Wash.
ington, or the country. In 1895
when we had our little "brush
with Spain there was far differen
feeling from that which now pre-
walls. 1t is certain that the Amer
lean government will find al
honorable way of adjusting tht
present difficulties without makint
a plunge into the maelslrom.

I have noticed during a quarter of a

stock be large. Perhaps some Of my
observant readers have noticed the
same peculiarities of the stock market
1t Is perfectly natural that when one
wants to sell his goods he should extol
their merits and that IL he wants to
buy property he should go about 1t

merits should say as little as possible
about them until he has completed the

ciples that move men to buy and sell
commodities of any kind inspire men
and movements in Wall street.
For this reason I have advised my
readers who wish to be successful in
speculating not to take tips SO freely
given by those who have their own
purposes to serve, but to note with care
the operations of the market and news
that has bearing on the values of Sc

Twin Lakes
Depot to Stay
Utilities Commission Asks That Docks
Be Improved For Public.

Boise, Ida, June 11.-Through
an order issued by the utilities
commission the Idaho & Washing
ton Northern railroad is denied the
request to remove the depot at
Twin Lakes, about a third of a
mile from its former location. L.
Dellar complained to the commits
sion over the removal. He is
directed under the order to make
improvements on his dockage
property for the benefit of the
general public served. If he fails
to do so the request to move the
depot will be granted.
The depot at Twin lakes, which
are four miles from Rathdrum
and which have become in recent
years to be one of the most largely
patronized summer places con-
tiguous to Spokane, was moved a
short time ago to point about a
third of mile north of the former
location and opposite the public
landing. The move was made it
is said at the request of many
owners of summer homes who
wished the depot placed opposite
the public landing for their con-
venience, the general public hav-
ing been excluded from the use OF
the dockage facilities at the L.
Dellar place.
In protesting against the change
Of the depot location, Mr.. Dellal
is reported to have proposed max.
ing improvements on his dockage
property for the benefit of the
general public. 1t is expected
therefore that the order of the
utilities commission will be com
piled with and that the depot viii
be moved back to its former loca
ton, or a new one built on the ole
site.
