Pupils in forty-one states and six territories competed for the prize. The Da mascus public school in district No. 77, Clackamas county, won the flag in Oregon, the essayist be ing Myrtle Breithaupt, while Van couver won the prize for Washing ton, Walter Seward being the es sayist. The publishers of the Companion announce that the competition was very spirited and that the efforts of the young authors were highly creditable. He gives from one of the essays the following passage: "The hope of the nation is in the public school and the emblem of the na tion is the flag; let the two be united," adding that the happy connection between the flag and the school has never been better expressed and cannot be better presented in words. Among the successful competitors were twenty eight girls and nineteen boys. Those from the Southern states are all girls, a fact that, taken in connection with hatred of the Southern women for the old flag a quarter of a century ago, may be considered indicative of an impor tant change in sentiment in the South. Oregonian. A Danbury correspondent of the Hartford Courant writes that Con necticut city is at present well nigh demoralized by a lottery oraze. It seems that an operative in one ot the hat factories drew a big prize in the Louisiana Lottery recently, and a large proportion of the 5,000 operatives in Danbury have been buying lottery tickets ever since, The craze has gone to such an extent that business is in terfered with. Families suffer and storekeepers complain loudly. All the working people are talking lottery and it is not the poor alone who buy tickets. It is estimated that Danbury has lost more money in this manner than from all other calamities put together for a long period. There is reason to believe that the prize referred to was al lowed to go to Danbury to revive drooping interest, as it is openly charged that the lottery managers shrewdly drop a prize in communi ties and among classes of working men where it will excite the gam bling instinct. Not long ago a prize was drawn in this way. doubtless, by a Boston barber, and it is said to have been the worst thing that ever happened to barbers in this city. The gam bling instinct is strong in human nature, and an institution which panders to that instinct and pro vokes it where it would not other wise be aroused is a curse to the whole nation. Our government ought to be sufficiently paternal to prevent the ignorant and credu lous from being victimized in this way. The business is largely done through the mails. The historic- building in Brus sells in the hall of which occurred the famous ball of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond on the eve of the battle of Waterloo is to be sold at auction. The ball is im mortalized by Byron in the lines beginning with the, oft quoted words: "There was a sound of rev elry by night." An exchange notes, as the best example of mingled hope and fear, a lazy man looking, lor work. THE NEW STATE. Idaho, the newest state in the American Union, will some day be dassed as one of the richest. Up o 1863 it formed a portion of the erritory of Oregon, that undefined erritorial division whose boundary vas long a matter of dispute be vveen Great Britain and the Uni ed States. When first organized t also included portions of the pre vious territories of Washington, Oregon, Utah and Nebraska. It will be interesting information to he younger elements of the popu lation of the new state to learn that not so very long ago two ter ritories Nebraska and Oregon reached from the Missouri river to ;he Pacific Ocean. In 1861 the boundaries were fixed as they are found to-day. It is not improbable that a few lardy voyageurs may have pene rated Idaho in the closing decade f the last century. But the first eliable information about this mknown and myterious region -vas that contributed by the explo rers, Lewis and Clarke, who jour neyed across the western part of the continent in the beginning of the present, century. Although three-fourths of a century has since rolled away and the once mysteri )us land has become one of the sovereign states in the American Union, opportunity is not wanting or the explorer and the adventu rer to search out new fields of wealth and beauty. Wm. II. Wallace was the first governor of the territory, serving from 1863 to 1864. It is also inter esting to note that the first gold was discovered on the Pend l'Oreille river. That was in 1852, but it was not until 1860 that the first paying gold mine was opened up at Oro Fino. Idaho is truly the Gem of the Mountains. In addition to her wealth of majestic scenery she has innumerable sheltered vales where fruits andc ereals are produced a3 line as those grown anywhere in the United States. The climate is much milder than that of Mon tana. In the valleys oi the snaice and Clearwater rivers it has an Italian softness that makes that section one of earth's favored spots. The mineral resources of the state, particularly, of Northern Ida ho, are yet in' their infancy. While placer mining is compara tively an old industry, the territo ry yielding $8,000,000 in 1872, it! has been only of recent years that the possibilities of quartz mining j have been even faintly understood. Idaho also has broad and heavy forests of cedar, fir, hemiock, Cot tonwood, etc. Taken altogether, the resources and scenic beauties of the new state will surely make her famous throughout the land, and within a few years new cen ters of population will spring up, new sources of wealth will be de veloped, and Idaho will take that position in the American Union to which her capabilities entitle her. Spokane Review. A single page in an issue of the Century- taken for advertising pur poses costs $500, and in Harper's $400. A yearly advertisement in one column of the Chicago Tribune costs $26,554 for the lowest and $130,000 for the highest priced columns. These figures will doubt less be of interest to men who invest $2 or $3 and flatter them selves with the idea that they are extensive advertisers, and also to those who so frequently ask why country papers cannot be printed as cheap as city papers. Ex. There are twenty-two democrat ic governors of states and twenty republicans. All of the ex-slave states and Iowa. Montana, New Jersey, New York,. Ohio and Ore gon have democratic governors. A Georgia editor apologizes for the scarcity of news in his paper and savs: "We will have plenty of news next week, as we have taken a census contract, - and we are on the inside track of every One of the most interesting fea tures of the Northwestern exposi tion and of the world's fair will be groups of wild animals, exhibited by the famous Colonel Davis, who has exploring parties now roaming all the hill of America in search of rare specimens. It is said that after the census question "Whether suffering from acute or chronic diseases, with name of disease?" a sufferer wrote: "Consumption, heart disease, pleu risy, bronchitis, diabetes, softening of the brain, Bright's disease, tuberculosis, and thirty-seven oth er complaints."
