LEVI STRAUSS & 00. FACTORY- SAN F ft ANCISCO -CAL* COPPER RIVETED OVERALLS AND SPRING BOTTOM PANTS: EVERY GARMENT OUARANTCEO. EMPLOY OVER 390 OIRLS. AGAINST SANTA CLAUS. The New York press reports that a number of prcachers of that city hare agreed té discour age and banish Santa Çlaus as a feature of Christmas observations. They say that the religious na ture of the day is neglei ici in the superior homage that is paid to the patron saint of the children. Instead of Santa Claus they pro pose lo introduce a symbolical mangrr and child and thereby catry out the bibl:~~al signi. 'w e of the day. It is a saddening fact that mod ern childhood has lost much of i olden freedom, buoyancy and in nocent delusion. The Fontlcroy boy and the hothouse girl have largely replaced the wicked liule rascals and the tomboyish lassies that have become the fathers and mothers of the present day. Jack the giant killer and Bluebeard are no longer staple in child lo r e, nor do the ogre and good fai y terrify or soothe the young hear; as in olden, golden days that even you and I remember. But is it well that childhood has lost its : ' lusion and romance and imagery? Truly it seems that in thSs age of high pressure activities the young are brought enough inte» the ac tualities of life. The forcing period comes in ample season, childish vanities are quibkly dis pelled, the bloom and freshness of innocence are gone even before the change is understood. Chil dren are born into childhood and by nature are intended to he ve its frolics, its follies and itè fai.ies. The child that does not have these has had something taken out of its life that after year3 can never restore. Let the preschers crowd all the symbolic religion into the adults and into those that have reached the age of discretion that they may stand. It won't hurt them and may do them a power of good. But let the iconoclastic hand spare the harmless joys of the childish heart. Let Santa Claus bring in his messages of pe^ice and good will and his substantial blessings that shed such light and benediction upon the family circle THE OPAL MlNES Tm Man Taking Oui Baautltkil G.ms— Davalapmaat Wsrk N.w Gang On. Mr. M. R. Given8, owner of the Warm springs on Snafte river, 18 miles west of Nampa, was in town the first of the week and stated to a representative of the Leader that C. B. Garrison, mana ger of the opal mines, had just received word from the owners that money had been sent from Boston to make final payment. This means more to the people of Nampa than might be supposed by many, but the full effects can not be stated at present. This is the nearest railroad point and, of course, supplies and machinery will be freighted from her!e. Two men are now at work and are taking out opals that would daz zle the eyes of a dealer in Austra lian beauties were he to gaze on them. It is the intention cf the company to put a large force of men at work within a few weeks as the stones recently found sur passes those that took first prize at the World's fair, both in size and qu?'ity. As development work goes on everything goes to prove that the supply is unlimited and lha* the deeper in the mount ain they go the larger and better the stones. The opals that are now being mined are superior to any yet discovered anywhere and ere long will be the most popular, —Nampa Leader.
