BIG CARNATIONS. .
They War Cultivated In Ingraitl U
hakespeare'e Time ,
A florist says that we pride ourselves
nowadays on the else of oar carna
tions, bat the florists of 800 yean ago
grew carnatlona three to roar inches
across, as large as any that we see,
and thought nothing of It
"All through Spain, southern France
and Italy the carnation Is the favorite
flower and has been for hundreds of
years, bat along the Mediterranean
there are few glass houses, for in pro
tected situations and on southern
slopes of hills even delicate flowers
grow outdoors all winter long and
bloom aa freely at Christmas as In
July.
"The big carnations, however, were
not grown In Spain or Italy, but In
England outdoors during the summer
time and before glass houses were
known. They may have grown Just
as large carnation flowers In Spain as
In England at that time, but In Eng
land there was record made of the
fact and also of the size, while In Spain
there was not 8hakespeare mentions
carnations and gillyflowers, or July
flowers, together as blooming at the
same season, which shows that the
carnation was then a summer flower,
whereas In oar greenhouses it is now
a winter bloomer. How the florists of
those days treated the plants to ob
tain blooms of such else nobody knows.
for old time florists grew flowers In
stead of writing books about them. So
all we know Is that they bad very
large carnations In Queen Elisabeth's
time without knowing how they were
grown." St Lottie Globe-Democrat
LEWISTON'S MODEL CITY GOVERNMENT
i'lVf I''-
I.ewlston, Idaho Is the first town
In the west to take up what has be
come known aa the Galveston plan of
city government says the Seattle
Star.
Following the great hurricane and
tidal wave, which almost destroyed
Galveston In 1900, the people went
before the legislature and had the
city charter abolished and a new
form of government substituted, con
sisting of five men, each of whom,
beside performing duty aa council
men, fill certain executive offices of
the city.
Really the plan should be known
as the Memphis plan, as it was first
adopted In Memphis, Tennessee, In
1375, following the cholera epidemic
of the year before. Memphis was
left bankrupt and In order to escape
debt which the city was utterly un
ahle tn pay the people had the old
city wiped out by legislative enact
ment and the district of Memphis
created, which was governed by four
Galveston improved upon the
Memphis plan and formed a new city
government along the line of offi
cers and director of a private cor
poration. The head of the directorate
fills the duties of mayor and the oth
er member" of the commission fill
ed the positions of treasurer, comp
troller, city engineer and street and
sewer superintendent These five
appoint a police magistrate, city at
torney, chief of police and other city
officials.
Recently the legislature of Iowa
passed a law allowing cities In Iowa
which desired to do so, to change
their form of government to conform
to the Galveston plan.
Lcwlston, Idaho, has grown very
rapidly In the last six years, and is
now a city of about 7000 inhabitants.
Recently a new charter was adopted,
that went Into effect yesterday. This
new charter completely changes the
old recognized form of government.
It places the government of the city
directly In the hands of the people.
It provides for the Initiative and
referendum, the recall, and gives the
city the right to own and construct
public utilities of all sorts and em
powers the city authorities to fix and
regulate the price for gas, light, pow
er and street car fares.
There are six counciimen, who, with
the mayor exercise all legislative
functions and each of whom fills
some one of the executive offices of
the city. All are elected at large,
thus doing away with the ward
councilman. One councilman Is po
lice commissioner, his pay being for
his double duties of a legislator for
the city and the head of the police
department. In the same way anoth
er councilman will be fire commis
sioner, the third will be etreet com
missioner, the fourth commissioner
of public works, the fifth the water
works and sewer commissioner, and
tne sixth the commissioner of finance
and revenue. Because they are not
elected by wards It Is possible to pick
the best material forVach place.
Franchises may be granted limited
to a life of 25 years, after which
they may ho acquired by the city at
a fair valuation for the tangible
property, no allowance whatever to
be made for any value derived
through the franchise. Public serv
ice corporations are forbidden to In
any way contribute to campaign
funds and 25 per cent of the voters
petitioning at any time, may demand
a recall of any official not perform
ing his duties satisfactorily to "the
people.
While It Is an Innovation, Lewis
ton's new charter provides for the
running of a city on such practical
lines that Its operation will be watch'
ed with the greatest Interest all over
the United States.

HIDDEN TREASURE.
New Zealanders Dig For Kauri Quirt
In the Ground.
Many New Zealanders find It profit
able to dig for hidden treasure. That
for which they dig, however, Is not
gold or ' Captain Kidd's HI gotten
wealth, though It has doll yellow
color. It Is kauri gam, a resinous sub
stance which Is the product of the
kauri pine tree. The gum can be se
cured from the trunks of trees while
they are alive, for It protrudes In
lamps, bat It is especially profitable
to dig for It In the soil about the
stamps remaining after the trees have
been cot down. Sometimes chunks
weighing as much as 100 pounds are
taken up from the ground.
Digging for kauri gum Is profitable.
for the gum Is used In the manufacture
of varnish, and apparently It Is one of
those products of nature whose place
cannot be filled by anything else which
has yet been discovered. It has been
found that It can be used In certain
enamel paints, and this has had the
effect of bringing the demand up to a
point above the supply.
The kauri pine is a magnificent tree.
It rises as straight as a needle to a
height of from 100 to 200 feet and
attains at times a diameter of fifteen
feet It Is noted for Its dark, dense
foliage and Is much need for masts
for vessels constructed for the British
navy.

must have wasted a lot of chews in
your time."
"Go onr
"If true. Yegetables require chew-
lng, for they are digested largely by
the alkaline mouth Juices, bat meat is
digested by the acid stomach Juices,
and to chew It more than enough to
make it go down easily does harm in
stead of good. The mouth alkalis, ad
mixing with H, hinder the stomach
acids' work.

The Word "Idiot"
"Idiot" Is a word with curious his
tory. In Greek "idiotes" began by
meaning a private Individual, as ap
posed to the state or to a state official;
then it meant a nonexpert or layman
and finally an ignorant man or an
awkward fellow. It was left for Eng
lish to carry the meaning further to
mental deficiency. In "Plan Plow
man" an "Idiot" is an Ignorant per
son, and as late as 1609 tt could meau
a person who knew only one language.
Wyciif and Jeremy Taylor used It In
the sense of "layman," and the latter
also In that of "private person." And
a professional "fool" or jester ,was at
one time" an "Idiot" too.

PILOT ROCK KINDERGARTEN.
Editor McManus Makes Observations
on Metropolitan Press.
Editor John P. McManus of the
Pilot Rock Record, says of Journal-
Ism In Pendleton ana Pilot Rock:
In the less than five years the
Record has been established at Pilot
Rock four boys have been taught the
boxes" and In other ways to make
themselves useful about a printing
office.
Three of these boys are now In
Pendleton holding responsible Jobs.
One Is foreman of a Job printing of
fice and the other two are superin
tending the mechanical departments
of the Tribune. Any improvement
that readers have noted in the gener
al appearance of the Pendleton paper
of late should give the Pilot Rock
boys credit for It.
Any boy that has worked thr.ee
months on the Record experiences no
difficulty In holding down any posi
tion, from proof-reader to superinten
dent of the make-up on that very
excellent publication. This fact speaks
well for the Record as a kindergarten
school. Boys who are willing to pay
for a three months' training on a
Washington hand press. In order to fit
themselves as pressmen on metropol
Itan papers, will be accommodated by
the Record.
The Record wishes to call the at
tention of the Pendleton pipe-s to a
young lady In this town that gradu
ated from the eighth .grade recently
and who hns been given some train
ing as a local reporter. If either of
the Pendleton papers Is In need of
a city editor or managing editor, the
Record will take pleasure in recom
mending her.
She knows how to spell dairy,
veterinary; knows that there are more
than 86,000 sheep In this county, as
her father has herded that number
for one man, and if she kills anybody
about the Tribune office It wll not be
the "wrong man" as that would be
imposlsble.
Sheep Inspection In Idaho.
Dr. S. S. McClure of Pendleton,
chief of the federal bureal of animal
Industry In Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, today assigned 16 special fed
eral inspectors to work In this state,
inspecting all sheep before they en
ter the forest reserves. If found to
be Infected with scabies all sheep
must be dipped twice; If found to
have been exposed one wlppir.g win
suffice. The Inspecting, will be large
lyat shearing plants, the work to be
gin at once. Pocatello Tribune.
