The treasurer's report for last year
showed that a profit Of $125 was
made. Some Of this money was turn

proving the park James Duckworth
chairman of the committee this year
states that in his opinion the sale OF
tickets will be easier now than last
year, which was the first chautau-
qua here, and that the ladies should
be able to earn several hundred dol
lars in the venture, more easily and
quickly than in any other way. The
committee will not omit doing any
thing it can to make the chautauqua
success, and so far as personal eff
forts go they will sell tickets and
place tickets in the hands of every
guarantor to be sold. The ladies will
probably take charge Of the county
campaign. The newspapers are en-
listed to do all they are able in the
way of publicity.

INDIANS EXPECTED,
TO REGISTER WITH
NO DISTURBANCE
Hold Big Tribal Council to Protest
Against Selective Draft.
Measure.
YOUNGER MEN DO NOT OBJECT

The Bannock and Shoshone Indians
met in council last Tuesday and We'd
nesday, 1900 strong, to discuss the
selective draft registration which they
consider the same as signing up to go
to war. Agent Horton H. Miller Of
the Fort Hall Indian agency talked
to the tribesmen and tried to explain
the requirement as a form that must
be complied with because the govern
ment wants to know who all the
young men in the country are and all
about them. Mr.. Miller told them
that he had to carry out his orders,
whether he liked it. or not. So they
continued the meetings and drew up
the protest published in last Fridays
issue of the Republican. This docu-
ment was written by Jacob Brown, in
terpreter. 1t is reported from the
Fort Hall agency office that the
young bucks are making little objec-
tion to the draft, and that several Of
them have already signed up.
The tribes council was headed by
Chiefs Garfield Pocatello, Tindore,
Billy George, Henry Youke, Mack Po-
catello and Pat Tyhee.

Buying Arms.

In POCatellO ana BlaCKLOOL uum'
ber of Indians commenced to purchase
high power rifles and ammunition
In Blackfoot the sale was stopped by
the authorities as soon as it appeared
movement was afoot.
No trouble is anticipated by reser-
vation officers, who intend to carry
out their orders and make the regis
tration. The older Indians do not be-
lieve everything the white men say,
and they are of the opinion that this
registration means the government
will come right away and take their
young men to war. They protest
that the white mems quarrels are not
their quarrels, that they made peace
once and for all time with white men
and for their own part desire to Keep
the treaty to the letter.
The interpreter said Thursday that
his people were very much worried,
so that they did not sleep at night. 1t
is reported among the Indians that
one of their tribesmen Is already in
Europe fighting and they do not be-
lieve he would have volunteered. They
think he was taken by selective draft.
OF course there has been no taking OF
men at all, but the Indians regard q
letter received by kinspeople Of the
fighting brother as proof conclusive.
Conference.
A delegation of Blackfoot men
went to Fort Hall Thursday after
noon to talk with the Bannocks and
Shoshones and try to explain the OBJ
jectionable measure. There were
Peter G. Johnston, G. V. Fisher, Mr..
Curtis and son Harry, H. D. MacCo-
sham, James Duckworth, Ralph Dixie,
F. G. Christ, l.. e. Van Patten and
Mr.. Whiting. Mr.. Johnston and Mr.
Van Patten did most of the speaking.
A large gathering Of tribesmen re-
ceived them, and many questions ask
ed and answered on both sides. Mr..
Van Patten has just come from Cana
da and was able to explain to the
chieftains how Indiana were treated
in Canadian provinces.

city. With its yearly. festival where
100000 rose plants are on view it
seems to rightly deserve the title.
A visit to Peninsula park, in the
heart of the Oregon city, during fes-
tival week, which is usually the first
week in June, one can see 1,OOO,O 900
rose flowers, covering more than 700
varieties all in bloom at one time.
Last year Portland people planted
more than 100. miles of new rose
bushes. If placed in a row this display

TAKE CARE OF YOUR FERNS

If your Boston fern becomes yellow
and droopy-looking and refuses to re-
spond to your most loving efforts to
cheer and rouse, 1t, here is fertilizer
that is said to give the most wonder
full results. Use one tablespoonful of
dibasic ammonium phosphate and one
of potassium nitrate, dissolved in one
gallon of water. Pour one pint of the
solution on the roots Of the fern once
week for three weeks. In the mean
time give the plant a little pl'in water
every other day. This will prove n
valuable tonic and invariably produce
new growth.

CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR.

The internal revenue department Of
the United States has made public fig
ures from its 1915 report which def
nitely and conclusively dispose Of one
Of the stock arguments of the liquor
interests, namely, that prohibition does
not prohibit and that with the growth
of dry territory the consumption of
liquor increases. Notwithstanding in
dications on every hand to the con-
trary, journals of the liquor trade,
anti-prohibition platform orators and
writer's Of liquor publicity articles in
the general press reiterate the state
nent that legislation has not had, and
never will have, any effect upon the
amount of liquor consumed. The statis-
tics given out by the internal revenue
department., to the effect that the in
ternal revenue tax on spirituous
liquors is decreasing at the rate Of ST.
25O,OOO every month, most effectively
dispose of these falsifications.

MAKING FOOL OF HIMSELF.

Because one man out Of ten makes
a fool of himself is no reason why the
other nine should be deprived of the
pleasure Of drink" Replying to this
prolIquor argument, Clarence True
Wilson, prohibition speaker, says:
"Yes; but it does not stop with one
mans making fool of himself. The
trouble is that he makes, too often, a
wild beast Of himself. The trouble is
that in that condition he is liable to
make corpse Of somebody else. If
one man out Of ten, or one out of fifty,
turned out by saloon is for the time
being maniac, it is about time to
shut up the saloon and let the other
forty-nine men crafty their appetites
in less hazardous way, If one coat
out of every ten made from South
American wool were found to engen-
der insanity in the wearer,. would the
public do right to pass law, If neces-
sary, preventing the manufacture or
sale Of such coats? If one man out of
every ten that ate ice cream was
found to be afflicted with an incurable
disease that made him a danger to
passers-by, how long before the law
would throttle the ice cream restau-
rants?
IF liquor were an entirely new
thing, just introduced into the country,
and the effects were at once ascer-
tanned to be what they are known to
be, a prohibitory law would be passed
by acclamation." ''' :.

BEER.

BEER.
The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress
concluded that while whisky and
brandy made a man crazy, beer tends
to make him stupid. Doctor Forel Of
the University of Zurich says 1.-THE
drinking of beer has killed the ideals
and. ethics and, has produced an in
credible vulgarity." The reason for
the sottishness is that each pint Of
beer contains a small quantity Of
pure alcohol, a percentage Of lupulin,
the active principle Of hops, which
acts very much like the poisonous
principle of Indian hemp. At one
time Indian hemp was used as a medi-
cine, but it had to be abandoned on
account of its varying and poisonous
characteristics. Doctor Delbruck,T an
other authority, says that beer and
wine drinking countries such as
France, Germany: Belgium and Ba-
varia, are more alcohol soaked than
the whisky and brandy countries, and
states that the beer danger is much
greater than the spirit danger. =,

by LIMA Il. ROSE.

~ Vlolets are the flowers that seem
tuost in vogue always. Unfortunately
their season is short in comparison
with the numerous hothouse flowers.
!. Notwithstanding the vast strides this
industry has made in the past ten
years, violet culture is little under
stood. Raising them to perfection in
wolves endless care and continual bat
tie against insect life at the leaf and
stem, while rot may attack the root.
Then comes constant cultivation every
day in the year.
= In the spring all plants are thrown

the earth taken out and replenished
from new supply. During the win

ers must be used on the soil and all
vegetable growth cleared away. If al

Then the withered leaves, dead or poor
blooms, must be removed, and water
given in the right quantities.
The principal revenue in the violet
business is reaped from November to
May. In this respect 1t differs from
regular greenhouses where all varie-
ties of flowers are grown. After May
the violets grow smaller as the heat
increases. Then the plants are thrown
out and the houses thoroughly renovat-
ed and emptied preparatory to the
planting of the new stock. The prop
agating houses are then emptied also,
the young plants being transplanted,
as far as desired, in the regular
