General News.
English as She Is Wrote.
America is the lndcstnne which
sooner or later attracts the attention
of every seeker after fame or fortune.
News of our advanced business meth
ods has penetrated to the most re
mote parts of the earth and thousands
are anxious to share in the benefls
brought by Yankee brains and energy
Ilapgoods, tbe well known organiza
tion of employment experts, receives
many letters from men who wich to
represent American firms in their own
countries or to secure pos.tions hero
The following, received recently
from a Portugnese living in the A
zores, is certainty one of the most
amusing examples of "English as she
is wrote" in existence:
"Please say me if you judge possi
ble the publication of a monthly
magazine In Portuguese for advertis
ing of American trade, in Brazii,
Portugal and colonies. Germany has
two or three of these magazines which
are largely distributed among tbe
trade men of these two nations. I
believe that It shall be impossible
such a publication without tuition of
a board of trade. American trade
loose too much by cause this fault.
Germain good are sold like better and
cheapest of world, when I have had
occasion of verifying that is not truly
even considering freight and custom
houses.
"I am a active prof, journalist
with special predilestlon for studies
of polite economic. If I had whom
advocate my wishes befoje The Board
of Trade of New York it would be
possible that I get a good position
that I can not get In a backward na
tion. Be kind to consider rny idea
and write me your opinion or prupos
al. I knew a Spanish magazine pub
lished In New York for advertising
American trade in the countries
where they speak this language.
"I have practice to write and tran
late the Euglish as the French but 1
bave no practice to speak English.
It shall be necessary to receive all or
ders, mandates or indications by
writing at the beginning. I am 20
years of age and they say that I am
diligent, intelligent, honest and tal
entous. In any case please send me
your plan and booklet."
It is now only a short time before
the Spokane Interstate Fair opens.
The dates this year are October 5 to
13. There will unboubtediy be a very
large crowd In attendance from this
section of the country, for it is the
time of the year when people like to
get away for recreaton, and Spokane
is certainly offering a flue expositor
and big Inducements in the way of
amusement and attractions. The rail
roads will give a rate of a fare and
one-third, good every day of the ex
position.
As Coo Kruger and Frank Sullivan,
of Carlin Bay, were returning from
Sunday-school, last week, they met
a large black bear, which disputed
tbe right of way, so the boys side
tracked and hit tbe high places for
Ed. Kruger's, where they armed them
selves and on returning found Mr.
Bear still holding the fort, but he
*fâs put hors de combat , at tbe first
shot by Mr Sullivan.
FRATERNAL HALL, RATHDRUM, IDAHO.
GRAND OPENING A SUCCESS.
Large Crowd Present—G-ood Time Enjoyed
By All—Governor and Mrs. Morrison
Present.
\
The grand opening of the new fra
merits, consisting of John W. Peters,
The grand opening of the new fra
ternal hall, Monday, is an event
which will fill one of the proudest
pages in the history of Rathdrum, an
event which reflects glory upon our
citizens and credit upon the brother
hood of man. Despite the threaten
ing weather, no rain came to mar the
successful culmination of the efforts
of those who bad the matter in hand.
A large crowd began to arrive early in
the day. Everybody did their best to
make the stay of tbe visitors a pleas
ant one, while by a happy accident,
tbe governor and Mrs. Morrison were
present to lend grace to the occasion,
Heeding the governor's labor day
proclamation all the stores In town
closed their doors for the afternoon.
Owing to the condition of the
grounds in consequence of the heavy
rains of the previous night, only one
baseball game was played. It was
attended by the eornèt band and wit
nessed by over 200 persons. The
grand stand was filled and a consider
able throng stood strung out in a line
along the front of the diamond. The
contesting nines were tbe Rathdrum
team, flushed with a recent victory,
and the Oxfords of Spokane, no less
confident of success. The game com
menced at 2:30 in the afternoon, the
visitors having the first chance at the
hat. Both teams were earnest in
their efforts to furnish the amusement
which the crowd paid for, and the
game was a fairly interesting one.
The batteries were good. Rathdrum
was unfortunate in starting off with
an umpire who bad apparently never
seen a hall game. After putting a
man out on third base by a decision
which astonished everybody, includ
ing both nines, ho was put out as
wholly incompetent, and J. C. Calla
han was prevailed upon to supply the
deficiency. For the first three inn
ings the game was in favor of the
visitors. The Rathdrum lads saved
the day in the fourth inning, and al
though in tbe five succeeding innings
the Spokane aggregation made one
talley toward restoring the equllbri
um of the score, the game closed at
4:30 in the first half of the 9lb, 11 to
7 in favor of the home team. Fol
lowing is the score by Innings:
Ionings—1 23456789
Oxfords—0 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 0—7
Rathdrum—0 1 0 7 2 1 0 0 —11

The batteries were: Rathdrum, Le
lond and Flemming, pitchers, and
Judge, eatcher; Oxford, Rush and
Veiy.
The ball game was the extent of
the day's field sports, and for three
hours things were quiescent., the
visitors busying themselves in seeing
the sights, and the committees com
pleting the last arrangements at the
hall, including placing upon ihe litc
his excellency, the
rary program,
governor, who happened to be In
Rathdrum that day, on his vacation
in northern Idaho.
The crowd began to arrive at tbe
ball, sometime before 7 o'clock, and
in less than an hour the spacious
room was packed to the doors, with
all tbe available standing room occu
pied. The Jellurn Orchestra, ot sev
en pieces, was placed Just in front of
the rostrum, on which, behind the
doors at either end, the speakers and
entertainers were, withdrawn from
Tbe committee on arraDge
vieW
merits, consisting of John W. Peters,
George Poler and John S. Woolery,
were Indefatigable in their exertions
to make everyone comfortable. Gov
ernor and Mrs. John T. Morrison
were escorted from the hotel and
shown to seats behind the curtain at
8 o'clock, when the rendering of the
literary program was commenced.
The first number was a selection by
the orchestra. Rôtit. S. McCrea was
chairman and announced a Song by
a gentlemen's quartet, which was
well received.
John C. Callahan, was then an
nounced, and made an address, which
was one of congratulation upon the
erection and completion of the noble
structure whose opening they were
now formally accomplishing. In elo
quent language, the speaker related
the efforts which had been made since
tbe first breaking of ground on June
19th, and how eminently successful
those efforts had been. He congrat
ulated the various fraternal organiza
tions, the ladies' ordfefli and the G.
A. R. fer their hearty co-operation in
the good work of providing this mag
nificent home for the promotion of
the brotherhood of mankind. The
address was applauded.
The next number was a solo, by
Miss Stella Whitney. Then came a
ladies' quartet, Mrs. Robt. Dyer, the
Misses Kate and Anna Lavin and
Miss Freda Faulconer. This song
was greeted with such applause that
it was encored.
Mr. McCrea tfcen introduced Gov.
Morrison, The governor spoke for
about ten minutas. He expressed his
pleasure to meet so many of bis fellow
citizens, and, although he was on a
vacation and entirely unprepared to
make a speech, he felt thankful for
the opportunity, wholly unexpected
though it was, of taking part in the
grand opening. He spoke eloquently
of the good of fraternal ism, its effica
cy in bringing man closer to man and
helping men to understand themsel
ves. ne spoke also of Labor Day.
Although it is not a legal holiday,
said he, it should be, and he hoped
for the time when it would be made
such by statute, thus further exac
ting the dignity of labor. The gov
ernor also took occasion to praise tbe
scenery of lakes, valleys and moun
tains of thl6 part of Idaho, which he
described as superbly grand. Thank
ing his audience, tbe governor return
ed back of tbe curtain, amid loud and
prolonged applause.
A solo, by Miss Beulah Klopf, was
followed by a cornet solo, and a mixed
quartet. Then came a song by Mr.
Ellsworth Howard, a comical negro
character in picturesque and motley
garb. His performance was encored.
A lively jig to music was a star per
formance, by another grotesquely at
tired individual.
A song by a quartet composed of
G. R. Klopf, E. A. Walker, Ellsworth
Wood and W. T. Wood was encored.
Henry Sbomer then played some
very excellent music on tin cans and
two sticks of curdwood, which be took
care to inform his audience, came
from Ramsey. His performance was
rare and was fully appreciated. Mr.
Callahan then announced the grand
ball and the banquet, and the liter
ary program was closed by a selection
by tbe orchestra. The floor was then
'
cleared for the biggest, grandest,
must etijoyable dance ever attended
in Rathdrum.
meoced at 9;30 o'clock and lasted un
til 4 o'clock a. m. The floor commit
tee, consisting of Ed. M. PÜters, Jas.
Foster and J. S. Woolcry. saw that
the strictest order prevailed. The
magnificent hall appeared inadquate
for the vast throng which waltzed
and marched to the splendid music
provided.
The banquet was served from 11 p
m. to 3 a. m. It was undoubtedly
the flnest feast ever spread In Rath
drum. The long tables extending
the entire length of the banquet room
were covered with snow white covers,
and loaded with all the delicacies of
the garden, the farm and the orchard
and beautified with boquets of lovely
flowers. Ice cream was served, with
cake donated by ttie ladies. Chicken
was also in abundance, and every pre
pared viand testified to the pre-emi
nence of the culinary art in Rath
drum. The banquet committee de
serves the highest credit for the suc
cessful manner In which they con
ducted their part of the event. The
number of persons who partook of the
banquet is estimated at 500.

Wm. Dollar, president of the Ex
change Bank of Coeur d,Alenc, has
commenced an injunctional suit
against the Coeur d'Alene Lumber
company, to restrain it from operat
