GOEURID'ALENES HAVE GOOD EXCELLENT FARMING SEC TION TO BE OPENED Several Thousand Acre of Rich land on Oocur d'Alene Reservation to be Opened This Season Indians Are Farming Portions of the Land and Are Highly Civilized. In speaking of the Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation which will be opened to settlement some time dur ing the coming season, a correspond ent of a Spokane paper says: It Is claimed that Rock creek has approximately 8000 acres and Hang man creek, 64,000 acres of the choic est agricultural lands found any where. The latter creek Is particu larly fine. These lands are already under cultivation by the Indians, some of whom, have fenced a thou sand acres, which they usually lease to white men. It Is along these two streams, their smaller tributaries and the Moc-tal-ma creek that the Indians live. Here they have farms, upon which they have built good . frame houses of from seven to eight rooms, painted and on substantial foundations. Windmills pump their water and grind their feed for the stock. The finest and most up to date farm ma chinery threshing machines num bering perhaps a dozen, some of which are steam; gang plows: a high grade of horses, which were bought at great expense In 1892, when the tribe secured $500,000 from the government; miles and miles of wire fences supplanting the rail fence, are found here. Some ruins of those early times are yet found. Along the St. Joe river are the scattered stones of an early church. The first plows the fathers brought by wagon from Wal la Walla. Two burr stones are still at" the old mission, which were drag ged overland from Montana in very early times. With these the Indian crushed his grain. Among the Indians on the reserva tion are 100 Spokanes, many of whom have Intermarried with the Coeur d'Alene. A sawmill and gristmill are located about three miles from Lovell, on the O. R. & N., where they saw their lumber and grind their flour. These mills have been an Important factor In making the Indian Industrious. A boys' school, under the dlrec tion of the Jesuit fathers, and a girls' school, under the sisters, where the young are taught in the three Rs and other common branches, besides mu sic, etc., are located at De Smet. There are about 15 bucks who have assumed the white man's habit of drinking firewater, hut as a rule the Coeur d'Alene Indian Is as Indus trious as his white brother. Tl)eTl)eater QVEEN UTj AT HOME. Kev. W. F Potwlne Sends Sketch of Deposed Hawaiian" Queen. The East Oregonlan has Just re ceived from Rev. W. E. Potwine, for merly of this city, but how In Hono lulu, a copy of a Honolulu paper con taining the following entertaining sketch of Queen Lilioukalanl, the de posed sovereign of the Hawaiian is lands: Lllluokalanl, the one-time queen of Hawaii, lives almost In retirement to day, whfn her daily life Is compared with that rrlor to the change in form of government. But she maintains certain forms and her personal dig nity Is the same as when, as ruler, she was the "first lady of the land." And this dignity Is natural to her; her foster father, Abner Pakl. ranked with Kamehameha In wealth, and, to a degree In rower, and nil of the forms of state were a part of the dally routine of her child life. He had his soldiers and he drilled them and it is even said Kamehameha feared him. Llllookalanl has not for gotten the days when, as crown prin cess and afterwards, queen, defer ence was paid her by the residents of all nationalities. As a- child her foster father was anxious Tor her to- become familiar with the manners and customs of the white residents, so she included among her playmates the children of the leading citizens. She was given an education In English and was compelled to speak It when In con versation with her tutors and play mates. Today, among Hawaiian, there Is no better English scholar than Lllluokalanl. As a private citizen she spends her days quietly at one of her homes, either in the city, at Waialua or at the beach. Her love for music Is as great today as when years ago, she composed numbers which have be come part of the music of the coun try. In a recent Interview she said: "This is a new world to me and I am accustoming myself to the change. My home life is not, I fancy, different from that of any other lady who has been reared In luxury and taught to manage her home. I have my friends and my olej retainers and my music, a study which has always had much of my time and I do not neglect It today My friends know of my Interest in the study cf languages and I devote must of my time to both of these, music and language. From . my earliest recollection, I was compelled to learn English, and Indeed it Is as natural for me to speak the language as It Is to speak my mother tongue.' Primrose Tonight. George Primrose and his big mln atrel company, which comes to the Frazer Theater tonight, will present the largest company of humorists, comedians, vocalists, dancers and musicians ever toured, with every scene, act and song true to South' em flavor. The old-time Jubilee melodies, re frains and dances that are ever pop ular with the public, are used, not only ingeniously from a musical standpoint, but are very cleverly in' termlngled with the story of differ ent scenes picturing the south. The staging and costuming are noteworthy features of this produc tion. Mr. Primrose has shown good Judgment in surrounding himself with a host of well-known comedians and vocalists. The stage settings for the first part are of great magnificence, the costuming throughout Is costly and elegant. In addition to the large number of vocalists and comedians, a complete orchestra of soloists are carried. Taking it In all, there seems to be no doubt but that George Primrose, after careful study has fully carried out all that he claimed could be done with America's most popular form of amusement mln' trelsy. Mara, March IB. "The greatest art Is the art of en tertaining and the greatest artist is the one who makes artistic work please," says a critic." Maro Is an entertainer. No matter what he may be doing, one thinks of him first as a great entertainer. The highways and byways of amusement producers have been made to contribute to Maro's program. Tou cannot put limits on its boundaries or define its special channels. It pours mystery in your lap and melody Into your ears. It arouses curiosity and grati fies your senses of sight and sound. Maro's winning personality gets firm hold on your sense of pleasure, and at his own will sways all; for Maro, the living trinity of mystery, melody and mirth. Is the Prince of Magic, the Master of Music and the King of Entertainers. For over fifteen years Maro has been mystifying the Lyceum patrons by his original feats of legerdemain, enraptured them with his original musical selections, entrancing them with his original and rapid work at his easel, and fascinating them with his own refined sense of humor and easy flow of language, which makes him a pleasing figure before his au dience and adds to the pleasure of the program's development. Maro comes to the Frazer on Tues day evening, March II. the nrsrvEss of tax-bodging New York Firms Advertise Way of Escaping Taxation. The following item from Collier's Weekly shows to what an extent tax dodging has been carried, as a busi ness, among the rich residents of the east. Collier's says: Dodging taxes may be carried so far as to seem rather startling even to our frank time. The "1907 Tax Pay," mentioned In. the advertise ment reproduced In this paper, is the day when residents of New York can go to the assessor's office and of fer protest, if they have any, against the amount of their assessments. The facilities offered in this ad vertlsement make the process some what simple and virtuously avoid the temptation to perjury. On the day before "Tax Day" you own a million dollars In railway securities, taxable for 114,700. That day you go to Pfaelzer & Co., sell your railway se curltles and put your million In "tax free" municipal bonds. Then you make your affidavit that you have no' taxable property. The next day you sell your municipal bonds and buy back your railroad securities. Tou can do It all In forty-eight hours, and the net saving is tl4,700, less the Insignificant commission for buying and selling. Such Is the gain In money, the excessive love of which is evil's root.

Grant County Disappointment, Ioca) managers of the Grant Coun ty Fair association express bitter dls- appointment with the curtailment of funds provided by the legislature by the governor's veto, but say they are not at all discouraged. When the governor made his tour last fall he expressed great Interest In the ef forts being made to establish an ag rlcultural fair In this valley, and of ficers of the association state post tlvely that he led them to beleve he would rtand by It. In view of tho fact that the funds of the district are used by Baker City, doubtless very largely accounts for the promotion of races which by word and deed he so seriously disapproves, the veto can be considered in no other light than a bad blunder. The fact Is, not one cent of the appropriation could or would have been used for races If al lowed this county: but of course that fart Is merely a coincidence. John Day News. Worked Like a Charm.

The Starr Marerus Told of Yaaasi Coralcaa Marvel. Ma rot us tells us that during his trav els over Europe he met the "marvel of marvels" at Padua. The marvel In question was' a young Corslcan who was In the city for the purpose of pur suing bis studies at the university. Maretus, having heard that the young man was gifted with an extraordinary memory, desired to put the student to the test The person who had Informed the traveler concerning the wonderful re tentlvenees of tho young Oorslcnn's memory declared that he was so gifted In that faculty that he could repeat as many as 3(3,000 words if read over to him but once. Maretus and three dis tinguished Venetians agreed to test the accuracy of the statement A commit tee visited the student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to sub mit to the ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to him an almost Inter minable list of words strung together without any consecutive order and without any meaning whatever. The young man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyes half closed. When the long string of words had been read off be looked up cheerfully and repeated the whole of the uninteresting catalogue of words without a single fault Then to show how carefully his wonderful memory bad retained every word he went through the list backward. When that task was finished he took each alter nate word first, third, fifth, etc. end repeated them until the company was thoroughly convinced that they were In the presence of the most wonderful prodigy of memory that the world had ever produced. KNOW THY COUNTRY. A Precept That "Every Citlsea snenld Take to Heart. Juvenal said, "This precept descends from heaven know thyself." To this we add know thy country. Know Its area, Its population. Its products, na tive and exclusive, agricultural and mineral. Know Its present output and Its possibilities. Know Its states. Its territories and large cities and what they are severally noted for. Know Its geography and typography, Its con stitution, principles and history, its literature, Its art and Its sciences, Its philosophy, discoveries and Inventions. Know Its relation to other nations, both political and financial. Know Its possessions Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines their history severally, the customs and languages of their people and the sources of their wealth. Many men know these things now and love their country and are serv iceable to 'their fellow citizens In pro portion to their knowledge. It costs labor and the sacrifice of so called pleasure to acquire this knowledge, but to the genuinely manly man, whose life's purpose is to make the utmost of his abilities and opportunities and who in one way and another is developing his country's hidden treasures and im parting his own practical enthusiasm to other lives, there are a relish and a delight In the search for knowledge that compensate a thousandfold. The Woman la Bnalneaa. . A New York real estate agent has been telling of some of his business ex periences with women. Mrs. A., be says, wanted to find a house that would fit her carpets and wasted several weeks on the Job. Mrs. B. bad six children of her own, but wanted a guarantee that no other children would be allowed In the building. Mrs. C signed a lease with a clause that no. dogs should be brought In and then deliberately brought several Into her family and told the agent such restric tions In a lease were of no account "Do you wonder," he asks, "that men do not like to deal with women?" Of course, however, Massachusetts wo men would never do anything like that Boston Globe. la Ideal Bath. An Ideal combination Is to soap the body all over, using tepid water before plunging Into a cold bath. But there are many good folks who cannot face a cold bath dally and who after taking one are apt to be cold and shivering all the day through. For these the best plan Is, after a warm bath, to sponge the throat and chest withcold water, which Is most stimulating and espe cially so where the bather suffers from chronic colds. To Insist on a cold bath Is Just as unwise as to have a bath that Is too warm and to remain In it too long. That Is the more general mistake. Her Word of Honor, "Don't you love me?" "Yes, dear, but I'm already engaged.' "Break your engagement" "Ob, George, that wouldn't be hon orable! An engagement Is a sacred thing, not lightly to be entered Into or broken off. Besides" "Well?' "Well, I'm engaged to two men, and that makes It even worse." Cleveland Leader. Stabbed. "Whew! That's the first time I ever made a speech. I felt like I had for gotten all 1 had ever learned." "You appeared to be talking Just as you felt" nouston Post. A Saob. Thackeray designated a snob as being on a ladder who Is quite as ready to kiss the feet of him who Is above him as to kick the head of blm who Is below.
