REALLY WENT UP SALT RIVER
Action Of Defeated Office-Seeker In
Kentucky Gave Rise to Saying Now
Used All Over Country.

The people of the United States have
always been prone and quick to catch
a happy or unhappy remark or phrase
in politics and to make the most of it
to the advantage of one or the disad-
vantage of another party, observes the
Christian Science Monitor.
Some leaders are happy even in their
most casual expressions. Lincoln was
one of these. Grant was another. 1t
used to be said that the difference be-
tween Lincoln and his greatest general
was that, while one dropped pearls of
speech, the other dropped the pearls
IF silence. Nevertheless, when Grant
said that he proposed to fight it out
on this line If 1t takes all summer" and
when he said, let us have peace" he
furnished his friends with political
campaign material of the first order.
They were sayings as simple as with
charity toward all; with malice to-
ward none" or "You can fool some of
the people some of the time, but you
can't fool all the people all the time"
and because they were simple they
were remembered.
Once, a long time ago, a defeated Of
fce-seeker, in order to "get himself
together" left home as soon as he be-
came aware of the result of the polls.
A friend, inquiring for him little
later. was informed by a member of
his family that he had gone up Salt
river. Salt river was and is a modest
little stream that rises in the hill coun.
try of Kentucky, and after flowing
through a more or less picturesque dis
trict for about n score of miles, emp
ties into the Ohio. 1t was in those
days good fishing creek, and the
kind of stream jaded and disappoint
ed politician might naturally fancy
There was not thing wrong about his
excursion. Yet his political enemies
got hold of the remark that he ha(
"gone up Salt river and used it to i'm
ply that this meant the end of his pub
lie career.
The saying spread from Kentuck!
into other states and for more thar
half century 1t has been used to ex
press the idea that politician hai
been "driven to the woods" for good
"He's gone up Salt river" has COM
to mean, in fact, that a politician ha
"been put out Of business" has beer
so badly beaten that he cannot "com
back" "has seen his finish"

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-With the advent of early
harvesting operations in Texas, the
possibilities of the government taking
hand to either establish maximum
prices or at least curb speculative
operations, and as a result of the
natural reflex action, following a Ions
period of advances, wheat prices have
been tumbling during the past two
weeks. Contributing to this reaction
have been number of normal in
fluences, including the inclination tC
market holdings that have been helC
by growers, the easing off in the
submarine situation, making expor
possible. and the fact that prefer
ence has been shown to move Can
adam stocks as against shipment
from this country. In the meantime
the crop outlook throughout the coun
try is somewhat improved, with indi
cations of a normal spring whea
yield, and possibilities of moderate
increase to partly compensate for tn
shortage in the winter wheat croI
There have been no heavy operation
in the Pacific Northwest for the pas
two weeks.
Flour - Prices have followed tn
course of wheat. Trading has beef
light, owing to the fact that stock
in all positions have been augmente,
by previous heavy buying, and tn
disinclination to operate on declir
ing market.
Feed-Prices have not reacted t
the same extent that has been al
parent in wheat, but the undertone O
the situation is easier in sympathy
with millfeed easier and grains show
ing slight recessions. Oats are veal
showing a quiet undertone.

The Future Of the Classics

The languages and literatures of
attractive fields for students whose
tastes and natural capacities are chief
ly literary, and especially for men of
letters, authors, and professional stu
dents of language; but it is' certain
that they are soon to cease to make a
prescribed part of general secondary
and higher education, writes Charles
w. Eliot In the Atlantic. There are
too many histories, too many new
sciences with applications of great i'm
portance, and too many new litera-
lures of high merit which have va
riety of modern uses, to permit any
one, not bound to the classics by af-
fectionate associations and education
al tradition, to believe that Latin can
maintain the place it has held for
centuries in the youthful training of
educated men, place which it ac-
CURED when 1t was the common
speech of scholars, and has held for
centuries without any such good rea-
son. For this loss of status by Latin
genuine classical scholars will natur.
ally console themselves with the re
Election that it has never been possible
to give-an unwilling boy any real ac
quaintance with the Latin language
or any love of Latin literature by
compelling him to take three units
of Latin at school and a course OF
two of Latin in college.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

In spite of the influences which
tend to restrict buying at the pres
ent time, the volume of general bust
ness is holding well up to the nor
NAL. The elimination of an eXcep-
tional buying movement, induced by
advancing prices, is restricting cur
rent demands in some lines, but the
lull does not indicate any decrease in
current requirements. The wide
spread dissemination of advice that
the public practice economy In the
matter of purchases and requirements
has served in a measure to restrict
business in other directions, but there
are many indications pointing to the
purely temporary effects of this pro-
paganda, insofar as it relates to gen
eral business operations.
Indications point to a season of
record employment for labor, enor-
nous disbursements for improve
ments, and a distribution of war
profits throughout the Pacific North
west upon a comprehensive degree
for an indefinite period. The big ship
building program, itself a highly inn
portant addition to our industrial
forces, has served to add a stimu-
liant to lumber manufacturing opera
tions, and at the same time helping
to provide facilities for making deliv-
cries by water, and this interest

GERMAN WOULD-BE DEMANDS
Conservative Papers Claim Indemnity
Pay Must Be Enormous.

Berne, Switzerland.-One of the
popular wartime occupations of con-
sentative and Pan-German newspa-
pers throughout the German empire,
as shown by advices received here,
is to speculate on the size of the in
demnity which Germany is expected
to obtain from the entente allies, and
to impress upon their readers, again
and again, why enormous indemni-
ties are going to be an absolute ne
cessity. The entry OF America into
the war has, if anything, given i'm
petus to such discussions, because
the United States is so obviously
able to pay a pretty price.

and 100 were injured as the result of

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua.-Al-

believed that the loss of life was great.
Some of the principal commercial
houses and theaters in San Salvador
were destroyed, as were hundreds of
homes. The neighboring towns of Ar
menia and Quezaltepeque were virtu-
ally wiped out and most of the casual
ties caused by the disaster occurred
there. The large town of Santa Tee

Great Torrential Rain.
The residents Of the Salvadorean
capital. according to the accounts OF
eyewitnesses, were finishing the eve
ming meal when the city and the sur.
rounding towns began to shake. This
was at o'clock Thursday evening
and almost simultaneously the Sar
Salvador volcano began to throw out
lava and ashes through freshly opened
craters. The extremely low casualty
list in San Salvador is believed to be
due to the early hour of the disaster
as it enabled the inhabitants to flee
to the streets and other open places as
soon as the first shock was felt.
A horrential rain accompanied the
earthquake, and for six hours the rair
fell without cessation, greatly increas
ing the sufferings of the inhabitants
who had erected temporary shelters
in the squares and public gardens.
Although the earth shocks were fel
at considerable distance from thu
center of activity, the departments o
San Salvador and La Libertad wer'
chiefly affected.

MINING NOTES

C. F. Caldwell of the Jackson Basin
Mines, Ltd, in the SLOGAN division
of British Columbia, announces the
closing of contract with the Trail
smelter for the entire zinc output of
the Bell group, unit of the COM
pany. --xSps
All preliminary arrangements have
been made for the construction of a
250-ton concentrating mill on the
property of the Tarbox Mining Co.,
Saltese, Mont. The work of Install
ing a water power plant on Packer
creek will begin at once. This will
require a flume line a mile long and
three feet in diameter. 1t will carry
sufficient water for the operations on
both the mine and mill. Men and
teams are logging and saving lumber.
About 100000 feet will be required
for immediate use.
Bids are being called for by the
Federal Mining G. Smelling Co. for
the sinking of numerous wines and
the driving of raises in its Morning
mine. Part of the work is machine
work and part hand drilling. 1t is
thought that the work is to be done
in connection with the pending litiga-
ton between the Federal company
and the Star Mining Co., which in
wolves a charge by the Star COM
pany that the Federal has unlawfully
extracted large tonnage of ore from
Star ground and which approximates
more than 100000 in value.
