HONEYMOONS IN ODD PLACES
Persons Of Adventurous Disposition
Have Spent Them Amid Arctic
and Savage Dangers.

Mr.. Elkins, the wealthy young
American who recently took his bride
for a honeymoon "as near the NORTH
pole as he can comfortably get" is
by no means the first bridegroom who
has spent his month Of honey" in
this chilly environment, says London
Answers.
A few years ago Mr.. Max Fleisch-
mann, a Chicago millionaire, at his
brides request, took her straight from
the altar to the Arctic wastes, where
they spent, on their own evidence,
delightful" months, hunting seals,
reindeer and polar bears, two of which
fell to the brides own gun. Mrs.
Fleischmann's honeymoon wardrobe,
we are told, consisted of an assort-
ment of sheepskin dresses, lined with
leather.
Less chilly, but no less adventurous
was the honeymoon journey of Major
Powell Cotton, who took his bride on
a long and hazardous journey through
Africa, spending many months in the
heart of the Ituri forest, hunting the
okapi and making friends of the say
age pigmies, who had never before
even seen q white woman.
But the most daring and adyen-
furious of all recorded honeymoons
was that of Captain Andrews, an
American sailor, and his bride, who
started to cross the Atlantic in
"cockleshell," II feet long, and were
never seen again.

INDIAN IDEA OF RECKONING
Time Designated in Simple Fashion
Journeys and Distances Told on
by Sleeps"

The American Indians Of early days
reckoned time by what they called
sleeps" and moons" The Indians
"sleep" referred to a sun-to-sun day
of "a hours and his moon to what
the white man roughly and Improperly
calls a month. The Indians Indicated
the noon hour by pointing vertically
upward. To indicate the middle OF the
first half of the daylight period-9
o'clock-he pointed upward midway
between the horizon and the zenith
and to indicate mid-afternoon - 8
o'clock-he pointed toward the oppo-
site quarter He spoke of the eastern
horizon as Sunrise" and Of the west
ern horizon as sunset"
Journeys and distances between dl1-
ferent points were measured IN
sleeps" Thus, when he undertook
to tell how far he had Travelled or to
tell how far one point was from an
other, the old-time Indian would say
a certain number of sleeps" Ordina-
rily. a "sleep" in this sense correspond
ed to something like 35 miles-the dis
lance q man could cover in day, traV-
cling at an ordinary pace on foot.
However, it was not unusual for men
carrying important messages to make
twice 50 miles or more in single Il
hour period.

Seeing the Payette Valley and

see the growth in the various branch

possibilities of this valley are yet to
be developed. Untold power can be
obtained from the water flow to

Enterprise which must earn natures
favors.
That with all of our struggle and
perseverance and patience with ma
lures laws, time is necessary for de-
velopments. 1t seems to me the Edi-
tor of the Enterprise is keeping "a
breast with the progress and develop
ment of the times.
But my dear Editor, while 1 see
these wonderful physical develop
ments achieved and to be accomplish
ed, it appears to me that there is
not that genuine moral and spiritual
growth in keeping with the demand
necessary to keep it equal to the
emergency of the times, and 1 am
glad to see that you are sufficiently
inclined that way to select and give
space to ideas along this line and
are not controlled entirely by ad-
vertisers, politicians and grafters.
The physical resources have and
will continue to develop wonders if
the mental and moral training neces-
sary to all civilization is kept up
with all other advancements. l be,
lieve and trust the Enterprise will do

THE RIGHT TO HOLD UP PRICES

Price guarantees, or rather, guar
antees against declines in prices, will
be an important subject before the
Federal Trade Commission this au.
tumn.
Last December the commission is
sued QUESTIONABLE asking a dis
cussion of the questions involved. At
the beginning of August the commits
sion published pamphlet in which
it summarized the replies it had re-
ceiyed. Manufacturers and dealers
i'll more than thirty different brands
of merchandise have recorded their
points of view, pro and con.
On October S the commission will
ask Representatives of the different
industries and dealers to meet at
Washington, discuss the merits of
the question, and express to the
commission their collective point of
view whether guarantees against de-,
cline in price are fair or unfair

Chicago to the state
ments. of authorities on grain in the
leading grain centers of the West,
there is a shortage of nearly $4,000
freight cars suitable for moving this
years grain crop. The call for cars
is loud and insistent The railroads
and the Interstate Commerce Com,
mission are working to make up for
the deficiency as best they can, while
farmers are being urged to provide
their own storage for their grain
where they can do so.
While Democratic political leaders
are attempting to turn the car short
age situation to their own account
and to make the farmers and grain
growers believe it is due to the new
railroad law and the return of the
roads to private ownership, there is
no evidence they will succeed in this
effort. What is really happening ac-
cording to transportation experts. is
that the effects of the failure of the
railroad administration to handle
things wisely and effectively when
it operated the roads are now being
keenly felt. Tt is claimed the supply
of freight cars was not kept up by
the building of large numbers o,
new cars and that a law policy Yves
followed with respect to the renair
of cars. In consequence, great num-
bers of cars were permitted to get
out of repair.

neither the president or Congress raised
the ban, they prepared for shipment of

were said to have been only nominally
successful.
About that time some Kentucky in
terests announced, following a similar
in Chicago, that they
would institute suit in the court of

early February in an effort to secure
reimbursement from the government
for the whiskey that remained in the
country after to-day.
