TO PRESERVE HISTORIC PEN
That Used by Secretary of State
Hughes on Important Occasion
in Care of D. A. r.

The flagstaff penholder used by Sec
rotary of State Hughes in signing the
treaties agreed upon by the delegates
at the recent conference on the linn
itation of armament in Washington
will be preserved to posterity in the
custody of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, probably in Memorial
Continental hall, where the treaties
were signed.
The penholder is made of native
woods from % states and territories,
and is decorated with miniature flags
of 2S nations, including the nine rep
resented at the conference and several
of the allied powers in the World war.
The woods were collected and fash
toned into a penholder about IA inches
long by David Fairbanks of Chicago.
Two small pieces of wood used in
it's manufacture are of special his
toric interest. The section Of cotton
wood from Michigan was taken from
a tree standing on the ground where
the old Indian chief, Pontiac, fought
his last battle with the British in
1853, and the piece of red cedar from
South Carolina came from a tree
planted by the statesman John G. Cal
houn.

Suddenly he was seized with hor-

Moisture broke out heavily upon
him; he felt a definite sickness, and,
wishing for death, went forth upon the
streets to walk and walk He cared
in any direction away from Milla,
since they were unable to take him
away from himself-of whom he had
as great horror. Her loving face was
continually before him, and its sweet
ness made his flesh creep. Milla had
been too sweet.
When he met or passed people, it
seemed to him that perhaps they were
able to recognize upon him somewhere
the marks Of his low quality.

tered addressing himself. 'Slushy

from piano lesson, and carried a

something he couldn't imagine Milla
carrying-and In her young girls
dress, which attempted to be nothing
else, she looked as wholesome as cold
spring water. Ramsey had always felt
that she despised him and now, all at
once, he thought that she was justified.
Leper that he had become, he was I'M
worthy to be even touching his cap to
her! And as she nodded and went
briskly on, he would have given any
thing to turn and walk little way
with her, for it seemed to him that this
might fumigate his morals. But he

Arctic Days and Nights.

The Arctic is a region Of snow and
ice; for months in the winter the sun
is below the horizon, and though for
other months in the summer 1t never
sets, its heat is not strong enough In
most quarters to reduce the quantity
of snow and ice which form in the
cold season. The longest day and
longest night at latitude 70 degrees
are about two mouths each; 10 de-
grees farther north they are about
three months each; at the pole they
divide the year almost equally.

when he tried to face the problem Of
his future course toward Milla. He
did not face it at all, in fact, but mere

THE FIRST KISS.

Synopsis.-Wi his grandfather,
small Ramsey Milholland is watch
ing the Decoration Day Parade"
in the home town. The old gentle
man, q veteran Of the Civil war,
endeavors to impress the young
ster with the significance Of the
great conflict, and many years aft
erward the boy was to remember
his words with startling vividness.
In the schoolroom, a few years
afterward, Ramsey Is not distin-
guished for remarkable ability,
though his pronounced dislikes are
arithmetic, 'Recitations'' and Ger
man. In sharp contrast to Ram
sey's backwardness is the precocity
of little Dora Yocum, a young lady
whom in his bitterness he denomi-
mates Teachers Pet" In high
school, where he and Dora are
classmates, Ramsey continues to
feel that the girl delights to mani
fest her superiority, and the vim
dictiveness he generates becomes
alarming, eliminating in the reso-
luton that some day he will
"show" her. At class picnic Ram
sey is captured bag and baggage
by Milla Rust, the class beauty,
and sndures the agonies of his first
love. Ramsey's parents object to
Milla and wish he'd taken up with
Dora Yocum.

OVER THE BRIDGE

MOST of us undoubtedly think of
Az prospective business of the Ben
toni Franklin bridge in terms of in
creased tourist travel.
While the bridge, located as it is
on the Yellowstone and one of the
primary state highways, will be an i'm
portant factor in attracting tourists
by this route this business will be in
consequential compared to the inter-
community which will be stimulated
by the elimination of the ferry method
of crossing the Columbia.
To those who have given any study
to the question there is no doubt but
that the new bridge will pay very good
dividends from the very start but the
dividends will accrue very largely
from tolls paid by citizens of the
state.
This is being proved on the Snake
river bridge where the earnings are
steadily increasing. The official re-
port shows that collections for the
month of May amounted to $15OS.9O.
Of this all but $27O was received from
the sale Of ticket books. In other
words the bulk Of the collections was
from people who cross the bridge reg
ularly and only small percentage
from tourists and transients.
To be sure the tourist season had
not really opened in May and the col
lections for the next three or four
months will show much larger per-
centage of tourist travel. Even so

that district. Millions of new money
flow to them from it. Last year six
hundred and seventy-four car loads of
manufactured commodities were ship
ped into it, and probably an even larg-
er bulk of merchandise was sold in
smaller than car loads lots. An es-
timated total Of twenty million dollars
worth was taken by the people OF
this one reclaimed sage brush land.
The reclamation of the arid West
evidently means something to the peo-
pie of the East. Every part of the
country is profiting directly, indeed
1t is a truly national work that Mr..
Roosevelt, with his national vision as
well as keen affection for the West
threw himself into heart and soul to
get started Providence Or. H. Jour

RECLAMATION AND THE EAST
OONGRESSMAN Summers off WASH

CONGRESSMAN Summers of Wash
~ ington in an address on reclaim
alton projects, the other day, touched
on an aspect of the subject which has
received little consideration, and would
not be likely to unless one, gave thot
to the matter as one of broard national
Importance. As a result of the work
first Systematically embarking on dur
ing the Roosevelt administration, the
Inaccessible barren wastes beyond the
Rockies which one of our early
statesmen would have snapped with
England for fishing privileges off the
Newfoundland banks, is being peopled.
Great farms are developing. Land
sold to settlers by the government for
dollar and a quarter an acre is
worth three hundred dollars. Com
monwealths are flourishing with the
opening-up of country that was once
desloate. All this is obvious. Here in
the East we are reminded of it by the
census reports of population growth,
and by the receipts of fruits and long,
staple cotton from regions condemned
by Nature to Sahara condition.
There is something else, tho, and
consideration of it will immensely in
crease our admiration for that far
seeing craftsmanship which evolved
the reclamation idea. The reclaimed
country becomes a market for the
Eastern manufacturer. We talk much
about creating new markets" But
an irrigation ditch will create one
witout any effort on the part of the
producers and sellers of manufactured
goods. The settler on the revivified
must have a house, household effects
an automobile, most probably, agri-
cultural implements, flour and meat,
clothes and shoes, soap and kitchen
utensils everything needful indeed
which he does not produce himself.
Westward the expansion of Eastern
industry is taking it's way accordingly.
1t is moving in huge volume. Con-
gresham Summers submits statistics
showing the purchasing power of a
single district, it's marketing center at
Boise, Idaho, out of the twenty-six
irrigation projects which are now es-
tablished and growing in population
