New Mexico and Arizona are pleading to become states. If con- gress is not too busy playing poli- tics, it might consider these sad cases, Since it has become known that the makers of Panama hats work 12 kours a day for $5 a month the won- der is where the value comes in when you pay $25 for a "lid.” There have been enough amended amendments to the railroad bill to pass average amount of bills at any legislature. Can any gentlemen give us a list of the amended amend- ments. The action of Governor Gillett of California in saying that the Jeffries- Johnson fizht shall not be held there pleases some and displeases others. There are many who belive the fight game is a brutal one and that the cards are stacked. How they are stacked, they do not know but the majority believe that the negro has no chance to win. Others say the fight is square and should be allowed to proceed if it does not become in- human. Some time ago, the press reported that Govenor Gillett said that he thought the fight was not square. Latter he denied having said any- thing of the kind. The present re- port looks authentlc. Anyway, it will give the press agents something new to write about. ‘The governmentwillshave to ge‘t after men higher up when it starts to regulate aeroplanes. Attention has been called to the road going west from the city and leading out Fourth street. This road isin a bad conditions due to the fact that the hill there is fine sand and rolls down on the road to a depth of about one foot. This makes it very hard for a team to pull an ordinary load up the hill. Coming into town, it makes no trouble for the down grade is enough to offset the sand. But the return load is the one that suffers. More businss comes over this road than over any other leading into the city even though it is the poorest. About two miles out, the road branches, part going south- west and the other due west. Both tap rich farming districts. The attention of the street commissioner has been directed to this part of the road as it lies within the city limits. He has promised to see that some relief is had soon, Now as to the state treasurer- ship. The Crystal has maintained absolute silence in regard to the various candidates. The time has come however,when an expression of opinion from this paper may justly be expected by .our readers. Clearwater county has a candidate for this office, Al. Kaiser. Besides him there are seven or eight others, We have taken pains to get all available information concerning:-the various candidates and have come to ‘the conclusion ‘that our own candidate is as well qualified and as much entitled to this recognition as any of them and since he is a northern Minnesota man and particulary ‘a Clearwater he should have endorsement of the Clearwater county delegation at the state convention, Crystal. It might be added that the delega- tion from Clearwater county is solid for Kaiser. I BY THE WAY l ‘The politcial speech that does not roast fails of its mission. If you take proper care of your- self, it doesn’t matter what kind of a health resort you affect. Barking dogs never bite those who keep their distance. In order to have a business keep you it is essential that you should keep it. Moslem Architecturs. The moslem architecture at Agra and Delhl, so splendid, yet so short Hved, is so distinctive of a dynasty and so alien to the country as to be chiefly significant of the influence of the west on the east and stands alike In Its permanence and in its feeling or ideallty in remarkable contrast to all that was before it, is around it and has come after it. It is indeed curious how young India is in art and how old in her literature, her customs and her soclal framework. There is no social institution surviving in Greece or Italy that can in respect of age or of inter- est compare with the Hindoo castes, and there are no buildings or monu- ments in India that can boast an an- tiquity equal to much that can be found in the Latin and even in the Teutonic countries of Europe. Only & few of the ruder and smaller rock tem- ples go behind the Christian era, the greater and more elaborate belonging to a more recent date, and it is but what the later history would lead us to expect when we find as regards re- cently recovered Buddhist sculptures that a sense of form begins to appear Jjust as Greek influences become active in India, though the imitations stand at an immense distance from the orig- Inals.—Contemporary Review. A Misnamed lIsland. The island of Madagascar i8 mis- named. It should be called St. Lorenz island. Marco Polo in his work on Africa named a stretch of land en.the east coast, south of the equator, Mada- gascar. Some time after this Martin Belhalm of Nuremberg prepared a chart of Africa, using Marco Polo’s works as a guide, but misunderstood the report on Madagascar, thinking it meant an island. He thereupon delfb- erately added an Island to the east coast. This imaginary island was mapped on the charts of the geogra- phers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. In 1506 the Portuguese sea captain, Fernando Svarez, discovered the real island of Madagascar and gave It the name of St. Lorenz, and for a time thereafter two Islands found their place on the charts, In 1531 It was known that there was really only one island, and In accordance with this discovery the original name of Madagascar was retained, and the other name was dropped. The Way of Heather. Where Sonnerbo township touches the boundaries of Halland there Is a sandy heath which is so farreaching that he who stands upon one edge of it cannot look across ‘to the other. Nothing except heather grows on the heath, and it wouldn't be easy to coax other growths to thrive there. To start with, one would have to uproot the heather, for it is thus with heather: Although it has only a little shrunken root, small shrunken branches -and dry, shrunken leaves, it fancles that it's a tree. Therefore it acts just like real trees—spreads itself out in forest fashion over wide areas, holds together faithfully and causes all foreign growths that wish to crowd in upon its territory to dle out.—*“Adventures of Nlls,” Translated From the Swedish of Selma Lagerlof by Velma Swan- ston Howard. The Armenians. The history of Armenia Is not cheer- 4 ful reading. With the exception of oc- caslonal brief perlods, the Armenians have been almost .continually -under:| some forelgn rule. Assyrians, Babylo- nlans, Medes, Perslans, Macedonlans, Romans, Parthlans, Saracens, Mongols and Turks have each in turn dominated the country, and of all these successive foreign yokes the present ome, that of the Turks, has been the longest and the heaylest. The highest actlvitles of the Armenlan people today are not to be found in Armenia proper, but rather in the marts of prominent cities the world over. ‘This is especially notice- able in Eonstantinople, Smyrna and other cities of the Levant, where the marked aptitude of the Armenian;in |8 business enables him practically to dominate the commercial situation, One example is the oriental rug trade, which s practically. controlled by Ar- menians not only in the east itself, but 0 In many western countries.—Argo- Raut. , county || man, we believe it but fair that|| — Clearwater || DANIEL WILLARD Rallroad President’s Opinion of Taft Bill_ Unprintable, WOQULD LCOX BAD IN PRINT Head of Baltimore and Ohio Withholds Views on Raitroad Bill.

Mr. Willard stcted that he could not say for publication just what he thought regarding the administra- tion bill, as it would not look well in print. “The railroads,” said he, “are in the position of a man whi entering 2 dark room, not knowing where his wife has left the rocking chair.

Guthrie, Okla., June 17.—Judge A. R. Huston, in the county district court here, overruled the demurrer filed by Governor Haskell to the petition of County Attorney Hepburn, who asked for an fnjunction moval of the capitol from Guthrie to Oklahoma City.
