While, the was was " fn' progress they de clared an act of emancipation from the rule of the Rue de la Fail and conducted a vigorous campaign all over the then enemy and neutral states to make Vi enna. Instead of Paris, the arbiter of women's fashions. Now. the tailors and . milliners charge their, own members with treason in yielding to feminine demand . and bringing model cos tumes, from Paris. ' The tailors and milliners com plain also of the competition in their trades which comes from the wives or widows of former Austrian army officers of Influ ential social standing who have taken to millinery or to tho de signing of costumes for the newly rich as a means of livelihood. One of these new competitors is the wife of an Austrian gene ral, and many of them have their shops in their own palaces or apartments. The master tailors are trying to hav? the labor iaws amended eo that no one may. do such busi ness without having served an apprenticeship of two and -one-half years. A Kansas farm hand rang a preacher up at 12 o'clock one night. to marry him, and. after the ceremony he said: 'Well, , par son, we are spliced now?" "Absolutely," said the parson. "Spliced hard and. fast?" "Nothing but death,' the. par son said, "can break ; the sacred tie which now binds you to this lady." "You couMn't unsplice us again, parson, even if -you 'wanted to?". "No; the ceremony 1. have. per formed is Irrefraglble and . irre vocable." "Then, parson, I'm going to stand you off for it." said the farm band, with a relieved look, and, taking his wife by the arm, be departed, never to return. i. 11 hi :;t NEW ARRIVALS!!!

Agitation for formation of a new state from counties of northern Idaho and Eastern Washingtoa, to be carried on for the next two years in the territory affected by a commission of Idaho citizens under authority of the last Idaho legislature, has existed in one form or another for more than half a century. As early as January, 1861, a memorial to congress, asking for the creation of the "territory 'of Walla Walla" from parts ot the territory east of the Cascade mountains, was brought up In the Washington territorial legislature but was lost. Two years later the legislature, in compliance with pe titions signed by the people con sidered a bill to submit to the voters a constitution fofthe pro posed new state of Idaho. After having inserted "Washington" for "Idaho" in the bill, however, the legislature killed the measure. This was followed by the cre ation by congress of Idaho terri tory, giving Washington territory the present eastern boundary of the state. Agitation for separa tion of the northern counties of Idaho from the rest of the state was soon precipitated within thg new territory, however, when the territorial legislature, in 1864, permanently located the capital, which had been at Lewlston, In the northern part, at Boise, in the southern section, and thia has been continued Intermittently to the present time. , Meanwhile, in the Washington territorial legislature, the agita tion flared up on occasion. In 1868, the legislature adopted a memorial to congress which asked that the "panhandle" of Idaho, created- by the formation ot the territory of Montana, be returned to Washington. This memorial re cited the geographical barriers between the northern, part of Idaho and tho capital, and declar ed that "the commercial, social and political interests of the peo ple of said northern portion of Idaho are identical with those of the people of Washington terri tory. This argument is. In the main. the same as that advanced at the present time by advocates of the formation of a new- state. Similar memorials were adopt ed by the Washington legislature in succeeding years, and in 1875 it submitted to the people a pro posal for statehood. This was ap proved, and in the constitutional convention which met three -years later, were two representatives of northern Idaho. Although the constitution was adopted by the people at the next 'Election, con gress refused to create the new state. The nearest that advocates of "secession" of northern Idaho ever came to realizing their hopes waa in 1886. when only the lack of presidential approval prevent ed it. The Idaho territorial leg islature In 1884 had memoralized congress tor annexation of the northern counties to Washington and in the following election both political parties in both Wash ington and Idaho declared for such annexation. . A bill providing for the separ atioa passed both houses of the 49th congress, but failed to re ceive the approval of President Cleveland. Other bills Introduced in the same session vf congress, but which failed of passage, provided for division of the Idaho "pan handle" between Washington and Montana, by annexing that part of it north of the 47th parallel of latitude. Included in the five pres ent northern! oat counties ot the state, to the latter terriory. The present aeltation provides for separation of the ten north ern counties of Idaho and a part of eastern Washington and their admission to the Union as the state of Lincoln. A memorial to this effect was Introduced in the last session of the Washington legislature but failed of passage. ST! I hit er m It Has Appeared in Wall Paper, Clothing and Also In Furniture FAILURE OF PLAN CAUSES DEATH Washington Legislature Has Made Separation Harder . GREAT FALLS. Mont., April 13. With his fortune spent in his efforts to perfect a nation wide farmers' co-operative organ ization and declared heartbroken because of the failure of the rur- alists of the west to adopt his plan on the scale he had dreamed of, Findlay A. Bennett, origina tor of the American Society of Equity, died recently in Wlllernw, Minn., according to word receiv ed here. Co-operative distribution of farm and manufactured products was the basic Idea in the organ Ization Mr. Bennett created. By 18 months enthusiastic work dur ing 1915 and 1916, Mr. Bennett, then a resident ot. Great Falls, signed about 15,000 farmers in Montana for the "Society ot Equity' giving it the largest membership- of farm organization in the state. Later he construct ed for the society 85 grain ele vators and founded 36 equity co operative stores, all In Montana. The Immense wheat crop in Montana in 1916 Is credited with having wrecked the elevator sys tem, it being declared that the credit of the equity "was strained to handle. Dissatisfaction on the part of the members took from Mr. Bennett the management of the wide-spreading organization and he removed to St. Paul and began organizing a nation-wide association along Identical lines. Mr. Bennett was 50- years old at the time of his death. 1CIEHT SILLS ARE UNEARTHED Federal Geologist Finds Specimens 15 Million Years Old MARLTON, N. J., April 9.
