CROWS. 20,

II there is one thing we take no
stock In 1t is the usefulness Of tho
crow, He IS not ar insect destroyer
or seed devourer except incidentally.
He is a prowler and marauder. He
lives during the spring on birds eggs
not excepting the quail-and the
bird Young. He Is an eater Of carrion,
a scavenger and profiigate. He dis
tributes more hog cholera over the
country than any other avenue. There
can not be a dead hog or a pen OF live
hogs that is not visited by the crow.
With the germs OF disease on his feet
he arises with a raucous cav and
sails TO your hog lot and alights and
deposits the germs OF death. Many
many farmers have used extreme care
with their hogs and thought they pro-
tected them faithfully from enemies.
when the crows were doing their work
every day The crow is a menace TO
clean hog lots. He Is a menace 70
prosperity. He is unsishtly, his voice
Is hoarse and unmusical. and his habits
are a menace to good farming He
may occasionally eat piece Of carbon
that had better been buried, but the
harm he does greatly overbalances
his good qualities. If you take our adj
vice you will kill the crow at every
opport unity

LIQUOR LAWS AND SUNDAY LAWS
PelIa Chronicle)

rslid Cnronlcie)
Some people profess not to be able
to understand how the editor of the
Chronicle can oppose the saloon and
not be in favor of the law regulating
Sabbath observance. The distinction
is easy to draw. The saloon is an
agency Of evil whose work is to en-
tice men to ruin. Whatever may be
a mans opinion OF his own ability to
drink without harm. ne must admit
that the habit ruins hosts Of others,
and that the saloon Is the place where
most men have learned to drink. Tho
evil Of the liquor traffic extends to the
helpless family Of the drunkard and
casts a blight upon little children.
which handicaps them in their strug-
gle for life and happiness. The effect
of liquor is to cause men to steal, to
fight, to kill, and to commit almost
every other crime in the calendar, and
we oppose the legalizing Of the sale
OF liquor because we are unwilling to
assume any responsibility for these
crirnes, which we would have to do IL
we should consent to Its sale.
y We oppose Sunday laws because
the observance Of Sunday as sab
bath fs a distinctly religious matter,
and In matters Of religion a man is
answerable to his God alone. We can
not conscientlously conform to re-
ligious observance planned for US by
any man or set Of men, be ne or they
pope, bishop, or city council, and we
are not inclined to force our own views
upon anyone else. The regulation OF
Sabbath observance is an entirely diff
ferent one from that OF requiring en-
pioyers OF labor to allow their men
frequent rest days, and we believe
the law should provide for one days
rest in seven for all employees. This
should certainly be the case where the
men work twelve hours day as in the
case OF the engineers at our own city

WOULD SHELVE ATKINSON.
IParkersburg Eclipse.l

Our good friend Atkinson Is about
the only man who of the many filing
the representatives chair from Butler
county has been presumptuous enough
to ask the people for third term. This
paper has no wish to injure Mr.. At
kinson in any way, but it feels that he
has had all that he is entitled to in
political way at the hands OF the re-
publicans Of the county. Billy's rec
ord in the legislature Is not such that
this paper fels would Justify the
people in returning him for another
term, especially 80 In view Of the fact
the repub licans Of the county can have
as good A man as o. l.. Mead to fill his
place. II Mr.. Atkinson's record In the
legislature had been brilliant one, Il
he had done something Of note that
would benefit the people Of the county
or the state at large, there would be
some justification in his asking for Q
third term. But aside from his win
ming the speakership his record is no
better. If as good as some OF them who
have hitherto held the office. Another
thing, when Mr.. Atkinson first ran
for representative in the county he
had been away from the county for
a number of years, altho nominasly
claiming GAINESVILLE as his place OF
residence. The Eclipse feels that the
people OF the county have been good
to Atkinson and now he ought to be
made to quit.

VISITED BY
HIGH WATER
Koo,enai River Nearly Reaches Over.
flow Record Of l894-Records of
1893 Iuundation Are Eclipsed
FLATS ARE DAMAGED THE MOST
Bridges Washed Out In Montana
Strong Current Here

The high water period of 1894 was
nearly reached and the highest stage
of water since 1898 was bettered
several inches in the Kootenai valley
from Monday, June 10Th to Thurs
day night, June 22nd, when cool
weather stayed the torrents of water
which swept down the creeks and
rivers Of Canada into the Kootenai
river, causing the latter stream to
overflow its banks for the first time
in 10 years.
The damage done by the overflow
is hard to estimate. 1t will not
amount to as much as one might
think on first viewing the water COW
cred area. Along the bottom lands
of the Kootenai river the spring high
water is looked for annually and the
ranchers, to large extent, are pre-
pared for foundations. In Boomers
Ferry the damage will consist of
gardens ruined or delayed, the de-
bris accumulated, water-soaked floors
and furniture damaged by water.
Most of the residents of the flats of
the city had prepared for what
seemed certain high water period
and moved a great deal of furniture
and furnishings to high ground. The
business men raised their stocks on
benches and counters although this
precaution was not necessary. The
water did not reach the floors of
many of the business blocks on Main
street.
All the grocery stores, both drug
stores, and practically all of the bus
mess houses of the city attended to
the needs of their patrons through
out the week.
Citizens living on the Northside
and on the south hills opened their
homes freely to the less fortunate
residents of the flats. Many pitched
tents on the higher ground and are
enjoying camp life, philosophically
enjoying outdoor life while the back
waters of the Kootenai recede.
The Kootenai river at its highest
reached a stage of 1928 feet above
the low water level. In places along
the valley its banks were miles wide
of dead trees and logs have been car
ried down the stream. Many of these
lodged against the piers of the
county bridge, the Spokane Interna.
tional railway bridge and the Koot.
eidi Ndiiey railway Dr1uge. Inc
county commissioners and the rail.
way officials kept crews of men al
work day and night to guard against
accumulations of driftwood against
the piers of the various bridges.
In Montana the current of the
Kootenai was stronger than here
Many bridges were washed out anc
the larger bridges were endangered
Many reports have been received
here of bridges having been WASHED
out along the Moyie river and othel
tributary streams of the Kootenai.
Railway and mail service was Sc
riously handicapped by the high wa
ter. Several miles of Great Nor
therein track east of Boomers Fern
was under water for several dayI
and there was danger of its beinl
washed out.
