r. w, Shingles resignation will be an even
greater surprise for Honolulans than was his APP
pontment to the board Of supervisors. Mr.. Shin
gle was not member of the board long enough
to effect all the improvements in the methods OF
public business which the public expected from
him, but he did number of things for which he
deserves due credit The sl9shing cuts in the last
estimates passed are credited him. while he has
been of the earnest pushers in the frontage tax
developments and one of those who urged the &C
ton which has given the city few miles OF side
walks in place of historic mudholes and ancient
weed patches. Another thing Mr.. Single has
done for the city in his short term as supervisor
and that is to make it plain that one business man
on the board cannot perform miracles. 1t takes
at least two or three to carry the load. a'@ 40

The Oldest Seouoia.

The oldest sequoia is over 3.150 years
of age. 4 family Of FIVE could have
picnicked under this tree when the
Greeks were building their wooden
horse under the walls of Troy and
Pharaoh and his army were being en-
quilted In the waters of the Red sea. 1t
has been the contemporary of every ia
nous man and event since the fopgy
dawn Of history. While innumera de
multitudes of men ana women fretle ed
their way through the drendfully i'm
portant wink or two of time that they
called life this tree eontented itself
with getting little thicker in the trunk
and wreathing It's top IN more majestic
foliage. Nowadays people who have
made their piles, possibly In the lumber
business, often motor down to look at
1t, and their wives gaze mp among its
awful branches and say, MY, how
pretty!"-San Francisco Bulletin.

The Ears Delicate Organism.

Comparatively few persons thorough
~ realize what delicate and sensitive
structure the human ear really is That
which we ordinarily designate SO is
after all. only the outer porch Of Sc
ries Of winding passages which. like
the Hobbies Of great building lead
from the world without to the world
within. Certain Of these passages con-
tain liquid, and their membranes are
stretched like parchment curtains
across the corridor at different places
and can be thrown into vibrations or
made to tremble like the head Of a
drum or as the surface Of tambourine
does when struck with stick or with
the fingers. Between two or three
parchment-like curtains a chain of very
small bones extends. which serves TO
tighten or relax these membranes and
to communicate vibrations to them. In
the innermost places of all a row IF
white threads. called nerves. stretches
like the strings of piano from the
last point to which the tremblings or
thrilings reach and pass inward to the
brain.-St. Louis Post Dispatch

There are many recompenses for
living in small town as compared
with big city. For instance, if we
have no boulevards we have no baby
bandits either. We have no grand
opera, but we do not have to pay S.
a seat to hear some good music. If
we have no cabarets neither do have
to dope up on bromo-sultzer the morn
ing after. We have no ''the dan
SAINTS" but good church supper has
them beaten forty ways for food and
fun. If we have no society swells
neither have we any slums. We
have no skating Kinks in hotel dining
rooms but we have all of Gods out
doors for our winter sports. The big
city has little to offer hea lthy, nor
NAL man or woman. The small town
has all that is good, honest and
wholesome.

WILL MARRY FOR MONEY.

Somebody inquired Of lot of east
ern college girls, we think it was the
University OF Minnesota, how much
salary a man must earn before they
would marry him. On or two said
500 per month, but the average was
$1,000, and ranged all the way up to
$40, 600. So the sweet young rosebuds
are going to marry preachers and ed
itors. They are all in the $1O,O 900
per year class, but we didn't know
the college girls had found that out
yet. Seriously, these girls should
come west, where manageable young
men, earning $40, 600 per year, are
thick as autumn leaves, and are PIN
ing away waiting I'd become the
slaves of college trained girls who
can dance, make fudge and get away
with $4,000 per year and not half

The Orofino Tribune refuses to dis
cuss this issue. 1t dare not.
If the Orofno Tribune can regain
control of the county will not old con-
ditions prevail? Who will prevent
them? Who will expose them?
Has the Orofino Tribune ever stood
for law enforcement, for decency, for
sobriety, for prohibition of bootleg
ging, prostitution, or any other thing
that the people do not want? Will
someone show anything the Tribune
ever printed emitting that paper to
public confidence?
Can the Tribune divide honors with
the Clearwater Republican? Which
of the Orofino papers would the boot
leggers prefer should remain in
Clearwater county? Which crowd
will the bootleggers be most likely
to support in the coming county cleo
ton, the Orofino Tribune or the
Clearwater Republican?
We may have all the laws on
earth, but there must be officers who
dare to enforce them, and county

GETTING THE TRIBUNE'S GOAT.

The Orofino Tribune, that great
family journal, defender of public
rights, didn't have a word to say
when asked what it did towards clean
ing up an intolerable rotten mess in
Clearwater county. 1t denied, up to
the time the present county officials
took charge, that bootlegging exist
ed; it laughed at the booze list, a
record that should have, and probably
did, bring shame and modification to
every decent citizen Of the county; it
defended Holsclaw, a legal nonentity
who spent his time doing nothing, and
showed its approval, did the Tribune,
by trying to impose Holsclaw on this
county as prosecuting attorney for
two years more.

pealing to the people for control of

The Orofino Tribune, in its last
issue said editorially:
The strict enforcement of the law
enacted at the last session of the
legislature in relation to an official
giving public work to relative is
working hardships in some parts of
the Clearwater courtyard doing an in
justice to many deserving people.
There is probably no county in the
state where so many people are re-
lated to one another as in this counyt,

is almost impossible for the road
overseer to get help without employ
ing kinfolk. A property owner and

King Strang's Rise and Fall.


A kingdom was once set up on Bea-
yer island. in northern Lake Michigan.
and fiourished for some years. James
Jesse Strang. prominent Mormon,
had quarreled with the leaders of his
church and in 1876 withdrew with a
few followers to that island. Other
Mormons Joined the colony from time
to time, and by the winter Of 1S4S they
were sufficiently numerous to threaten
control Of the island. On July 8. 1850,
Strang was crowned king with elabo-
rate ceremonies. There was much con-
troversy between the Mormons and
the other inhabitants of the island,
mostly fishermen. While on a visit to
Detroit President Fillmore heard Of
this little kingdom within the domain
Of the United States. He sent an armed
vessel to Beaver island. and King
Strang was captured and tried for trea-
son. He conducted his own defense
and made such an eloquent plea that
he was acquitted. In 1856 he was as
sassinated. and his kingdom fell with
him.
