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.

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.

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. About the honor of it
all we offer no platitude at present

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

A WONDERFUL MEMORY.
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.
