The house In which Lucie Ledanois
lived had been her mothers; the fur
niture and other things In II had been
her mothers; the two negro servants,
who spoke only the Creole French pa
tolls, had been her mothers. II was n
small house, but very beautiful inside.
The exterior betrayed a lack of paint
or the money with which to have
painting done.
The Ledanois family, although DIS
family connected with others such as
the Maillards had sent forth its final
bud OF fruitlon In the girl Lucie. Her
mother had died while she was yet an
infant and through the years she had
companioned her father, an invalid,
during the latter days. He had never
been a man 10 count dollars or costs,
and TO a large extent he had outworn
himself and the family fortunes IN a
vain search for health.
With Lucie he had been in Europe
at the outbreak of war, and had come
home to America only to die shortly
nfterward. Once deprived of his fine
recklessness, the girl han found her
affairs In a bad tangle. Under the
guardianship of Maillard the tangle
had been somewhat resolved and slim
pllfied. but even Maillard would APP
pear 10 have made mistakes, and of
late Lucie had against her will sus-
pected something amlss In tho matter
OF these mistakes.
II was natural, then, that she should
take Jachln Fell into her confidence.
Malllard had been her guardian, but
II was TO Fell that she had Always

her father.

gray man smiled. There WINS more

the eager vitality which so shone In
the eyes of Lucie. II saw him. yes"
A restful face was hers-nOt beau

gray eyes were level and quiet and
wide apart. and on most occasions
were quite lnscrutable They were

joachim Fell had done more for Lucle
than she herself knew or would know;
without her knowledge he mad quietly

an affection that was very real. Lucie,

ture, Singing River which will be
shown for the first time at the Liber-
ty Theatre Thursday
Singing River" is a western story
about claims, silver mines, crooks
and some good folks, includig Alice
Thornton-playe by Viola Vale as
leading woman. 1t is set in the days
when man had to fight to hold any
thing, and in many cases had to fight
hardest to get the girl he wanted,
even though the girl was in love with
him.
The crooks come near having Rus
sell hanged, but between the girl and
a man he has treated kindly he turns
the tables on his foes and sees them
jailed and put safely out of the way
for the good of the community.
The scenario of Singing River
was supplied by Jules G. Furthman
"a skilled workman in this line
and the direction of the picture,
which is admirable, was by Charles
Giblyn. The photography, too, is of
the best.

HARD Times and
idle INDUSTRIES
SHUTDOWN OF POTLATCH PLANT
FELT . BY COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT COUNTY.

P. L. circuit of this city spent sew
eral days in Deary last week, and
noticed the effect that the continued
idleness of the POtlatch Lumber
cOmpany's big plant has on that and
surrounding communities, and hap
pening to recall that many people
find it a pleasant pastime to criticise
in season and out of season, big
business generally, he wrote the fol-
lowing article for the Latah County
Press:
During the past week I spent three
days in Deary and was impressed
with one fact-farmers, workingmen
and merchants all told me that the
shutting down of numbering opera
tiOns by the Potlatch Lumber COM
pany made times hard l was told
that the closing down of operations
had made it bad for everybody; that
men were out of employment; that
business felt the depression, and that
even the farmer suffered.
From what | heard it occurred to
me that everybody in and around
Deary was vitality interested in
whether the big lumber company OPP
Grated or was idle, and it makes me
WOuuoT why There are SOIuS WHO are
always ready to fight the Potlatch
Lumber company, as though it were
a bad thing for community to have
big business concerns doing business
in a county. We cannot but wonder
if the people of Deary; if the farmers
tributary to Deary, would prefer to
have the Potlatch people close down
permanently, stop operations forever,
and move the Potlatch and Elk River
mills out of the country
If, on the other hand big business
employing large numbers of men, is
a blessing to community, why are
some people forever condemning cor
porations and fighting them on gen
eral principles? Why is there not
a general spirit of fairness toward
corporations, so long as they ask for
than square deal.
And yet, let it be known that the
Lumber company would be

Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the

the same as food, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by
Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete di-
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sOurs in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,

American Tradition" in which is
given a review of seven histories now
in use in our schools, each one OF
which has been subjected to a revis-
ion in recent years with the evident
intent of casting aspersiOns on the
leaders of the Revolution, emascu-

The granting Of distributing rates
to Moscow, in keeping with the dis
tributing rates from Spokane and
Lewiston, puts this city on the map
as distributing center, removing en-
tirely the handicap of higher freight
rates. While the entire community

are some developing business con-
Germs which mean much to the com

ALIENS COMING THROUGH

Many thousands of aliens are tax
ing up their residence in Mexico and
Canada for the purpose of getting
across into America after they have
established years residence in these
countries The immigration law pro-
either Canada or Mexico for year

The result is that many aliens who
cannot get past the United States bar
riers in any other way are establish
ing a years residence in these conrig
uous territories. 1t is proposed TO
strengthen the law making a longer
period of residence necessary
The emergency immigration law
will expire July l. If it were not to
be reenacted the immigration to the
United States would be limited only
by the capacity of steamships to carry
the alien peoples. 1t is expected,
however, that the emergency law
will be extended for period suffi-

When it comes time to enact per-
manent immigration law, congress
should be impressed with the neces-
sity for making the measure highly
restrictive, for to permit the invasion /
of this country by vast numbers of |
aliens, would result in consequences
which might be most serious. If
is to keep in control as
she should in America, there must be
some restrictions on immigration.

THE NEW POLICY FOR FARM
SETTLEMENT

The time has passed when railways

ate and cooperate gladly with real
tors and owners to whom the first
consideration cosists of the welfare
of settlers.
Many colonists have been lured to
farms in the west by rhetorical mis-
representations and then left with
out resources to develop their farms
and succeed in their careers. The
Northern Pacific declares itself OPP
posed to the Objectionable methods
of acquiring settlers and ready to
help in solving the problem of the
development of unused lands.
The new method suggested as a
substitute for the old method is to
organize the present owners of west
ern lands into helpful and carefully
planned community associations for
the service of incoming settlers. The
idea is to make it attractive and safe
for the man with only $4,000 to be-
come the owner Of farm and home
that shall yield living in keeping
with American standards. Less than
this is not a reasonable project
There still are profits to be made
) in the west But they don't fall into
idle hands or mindless mouths. They
have to be earned with sweat or brow
and brain.
Ancient land selling schemes for
the benefit of the seller are fertile.
They hurt rather than help. The
west requires colonization of the
kind that has succeeded in California |
into the land to root themselves there,
grow and thrive. 1t gives them a
chance to prosper. 1t proves CT per-
manent advantage to the locality and
to the state.
Successful settlement of western
land is now perceived to depend
chiefly on these factors: "A reason
