We are working with NEW CREDITS BILL FDB AGRICULTURE 'FARM BLOC IN CONGRESS PLANS FOR LEGISLATION OF' MORE PERMANENT CHARACTER. OPPOSITION IS FADING OUT Outlook for Ship Subsidy Measure Is Not So Bright and Some Republican Senators Think the Senate Will Re-ject It. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. It vlrtuully Is certain that congress will puss new agricul-tural credits legislation. It may be that the farm bloc will not obtain all that It asks for, but It Is known that a great part of the oppo-sition to such legislation has passed away and that men known as conserv-atives in the house and senate, par--j tkularly the house, have expressed themselves quietly to the effect that they are In accord with this financial relief for the fanning communities. In a letter recently written by Sen-ator Cupper of Kansas to Aaron Saplro from New York city, the senator says: "As you know, myself and others on the farm bloc in congress ara engaged In the consideration of' Important leg-islation on the subject of agricultural credits. The real Importance of this can be appreciated when it Is remem-bered that most financial methods and measures for government aid of the farmer, at present In operation, are of a temporary character. "The next agricultural credits bill passed by congress should be, and doubtless will be, of a permanent char-acter, and should be of such a nature as to close the books on this .subject for many years to come." So much for the prospect of legisla-tion on agricultural credits as It spreads Itself before the Washington vision today, but there are other things for which the outlook Is not so bright, and of course the fact that the view Is not a sunshiny one, Is grateful or non-gratef- ul to the people of the country as their viewpoints vary. Doubt About Ship Subsidy. At this writing It virtually Is certain that the ship subsidy bill will pass the house of representatives and will be sent over to the senate for action. Some of the Republican senators who are In favor of the bill are willing to say quietly that they do not think It can be enacted Into law during the life of the present congress. This meanu that they think it cannot be enacted Into law at all, because It Is pretty well known that President Hard-ing will not urge the measure on the congress which conies Into being In the spring. The reason for the fear of the sen-atorial friends of the ship subsidy measure that It cannot pass, Is the known determination of some of the Republicans and some of tne Demo-crats to block the bill at every stage Washington gets very humaa on Thanksgiving and Christmas and fair-ly close to human on the other holi-days of the year. Thanksgiving never! was mqcb of a southern holiday and a part of Washington counts Itself as southern, but the New England day in recent years has taken bold of the capital city In all Its quarters, streets and byways. Curiously enough, the foreign diplomats make much of the feast day of the Pilgrim Fathers. It Is the evident desire and -i-ntention of each Incoming foreign diplo-matist to talce unto himself, insofar as he can, the duty of recognizing purely American festal days. He thinks doubtless that It would be a grateful tribute to the people of the country to which he is accredited If he should snow recognition of the spirit of Its Institutions. Thanksgiv-ing day Is celebrated. with turkey and stuffing and with a good semblance of family rejoicing in the homes of the foreigners who bear credentials to Uncle Sam as representatives of their governments. Christmas Day In Washington. Christmas Is coming on and then there will be In this town a festal day which everybody may behold, for its manifestations ure not confined to the homes of the Inhabitants. The spirit of Christmas day here shines In the streets. , Washington makes much of the day of gifts and rejoicing. The diplomats bring their-- own Christmas customs with them. So far as the southern European and the Latin-Americ-countries are concerned, the day is one of an outpouring of the spirit of gladness and nelghborllness. The families of the foreigners here resident in official capacity celebrate Christmas at home In the first Instance and then go from one home to another of their affiliated peoples. It la not believed th'z year that con-gress will take much of a recess dur-ing the holiday season. The senators and the members of course will not sit either on Christmas or on New Year's day, but the old-tim- e practice of tak-ing two weeks off has not held for some time, because business has been too pressing. The two days of rest, however, will be taken nnd with them possibly an "extra contiguous" day or two. Once on a time the markets of Washington in the holiday season from Thanksgiving until January fairly dripped with the fat of game. The whole country tributary to Washing-ton was famous for game birds and game mammals of various kinds, but now with the exception of a few spe-cies of animals It Is forbidden by the law to sell game of any kind. The old familiar holiday spectacle of men standing on the street corners with great festoons of cnnvas-bnc- k ducks about their necks and shoulders and which they offered for sale to the bon vlvnnt no longer Is to be seen. The pot hunter has passed from the land and! the water, nnd It Is better so, for otherwise there would have been little game left for future gen-erations. Mistletoe and Holly. ' Tills Is the season when the holly and the mistletoe appear In tfie mar-kets In Washington In great clusters and bunches. Mistletoe Is a parasite and the cutting of It from the trees upon which It has fartened Itself is a beneficent thing for the forest growth, but it is a different story with the holly. Many fine holly trees In the vicinity of Washington are killed every year by the vandal market men who hew off great branches, leaving the dis-figured and maimed tree to struggle, for continued existence us wcl as It can. Many a beautiful tree has been sucrlflced to deck n Christmas holiday. There Is some prospect thnt the state of Virginia may take action In this matter, for most of the holly comes from across the Potomac river. The holiday season In the White House this yenr will be quiet In Its manifestations. Mrs. Harding hns not entirely recovered from her recent se-vere Illness. Therefore all social af-fairs usually held ot this season !u the White House have been called off. The President and Mrs. Harding and some of their relatives and closest friends will observe the days in a quiet, homelike way. of the game, and, if It be necessary so to do, to talk the measure to death. This Is a plain statement of the ship subsidy bill case as it appears to both Democrats and Itepubllcans today. It Is, of course, possible that the Repub-lican majority In the senate may suc-ceed in putting the bill through. It could put it through probably If the rules of the senate were like those of the house, but In the senate, debate Is unlimited and there is no practical way to "stop the talk." Bills Talked to Death. It may N said' that there are "talked-to-docitk- " precedents to which men who have the talking habit look bnck with something of confidence. Tho late Senator Thomas Carter of Montana, a good many years ago. talked u river and harbor bill to death. He kept at his talking task hour after hour, preventing the action of the sen-ate by keeping tho floor until noon of March 1. when congress perforce ceased from Its labors. In the winter and spring of 1908 the d Vreeland-Aldtic- h currency measure v'f" before the tennte. An attempt was made by three senators. Stone of Missouri, Gore of Oklahoma, and La Follette of Wisconsin, to talk the bill to death In the last days of the session. In thht case the attempt failed, but It came very near suc-ceeding, and it always has been said thnt It would have succeeded If Sen-ator Gore of Oklahoma were not a blind man. Stone. La Follette and Gore "spelled" each other in their laborious task. When one was talking the other two would leave the floor for a rest nnd the one who hud rested longest would como back to relieve the speuker. Gore, the blind man, was talking. He thought that Senator Stone was in the chamber, but Stone was not there. Cote ceased speaking, and before he realized his error the vice president had put the mutter to a vote and the bill was passed. Holiday Sean at Hand. Republicans, Democrats, Progres-sives, Liberals, Radicals, and the oth-ers, if there nre any others, forgot subsidies, blocs, "political ambitions, personal animosities and everything else, temporarily a least, when the holiday season com- - to Washington, The "Isms" from conservatism to radicalism take n day off on Thanks-giving, another day off en Christmas, and still (mother on January first.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL OPERETTA A SUCCESS The operetta and musicale en-titled "Flaharty's Christmas," given by the Junior High School pupils on Thursday evening at the Princess, was appreciated by the number attending. Miss Gladys Davis" as Mrs. Flaharty proved a success. The solos of Miss Jennie Davis were much appreciated and the choruses consisting of the boys and girls demonstrated capable training. The violin solo given by Profes-sor. II. D. Christensen assured they audience he was an artiste of no mean ability. Leo Hoo'd's cornet solo was also of a high order. The climax of the story comes at the conclusion of a Christmas celebration so that the operetta was timely as well as enjoyable. BINGHAM MERCANTILE COMPANY The Bingham Mercantile Company needs no introduction to the old times of this camp. It njoys the reputation of being one of the leading business houses in town. It is absolutely the greatest mercantile estab-lishment in the old Reliable, where anything from a pin to all the necessary furnishings of a home can be produced. C. E. Adderly, thejpresent manager has been with the firm for the past twenty five years. He has given careful study to the mer-cantile business and is familar with every department. Many of the employees of the com-pany have grown up in busi-ness, therefore know the busi-ness thoroughly. Mr. Adderley in addition to his mercantile work has served a number of years as a member of the Town Board, also one term, as Mayor. THE BUTTE POOL HALL AND CAFE The Butte soft drink parlor, pool hall and cafe is one of the most popular places in the camp. The soft drink and pool hall part is operated by Al Osborne. In connection there is also a res-taurant which is in charge of the Lawrence Brothers, who were formerlyvconnected with the Standard Bread Company. HOGAN DAIRY pleasant fellow to deal with and takes pains to furnish his pat-rons with the goods they desire. Everybody in Bingham and entire camp is interested from the source of their milk supply. One of the chief dairies supply-ing the town milk is C. E. Ho-gan'- s. Thi3 dairy which is own-ed end operated by Mf. Ilogan is one of the main attractions on the Bingham road from Mid-va- le and is one of the most mod-ern up-to-d- ate and complete to be found anywhere. It is equip-e- d with the latest fixtures and is a model of its kind for a rural community. The aim of the dairy is to give its customers the very best service possible and to please and satisfy. They give the best grade of milk, clean, pure and santiary, and the prices are regulated according to the cost of production. Mr. Hogan is courteous accomodating and a ARCHIE STEWART POSTMASTER. This great copper camp may be considered one of the most difficult propositions in the Union for any postmaster to handle, but Archie Stewart, our popular postmaster handles the mail here with celerity. Many nationalities are represented here and although there are many who can scarcely speak the English language, they are waited on with promptitude. Mr. Stewart is a staunch Repub-lican in politics and is connect-ed with some of the leading fra-ternal organizations of the camp. School Teachers Prominent. To leap Into the limelight in Ireland It Is uppnrently first necessary to be a school teacher a tradition perhaps from the Middle ages, when Ireland was the most learned of the rations. To enumerate: James Joyce and Dan-iel Corkery, two oT Erin's most gen-erally recognized men of letters), were both school teachers. Three leaders of the Easter week rebellion of 1I)1G Padralc Peilrse, headmaster of a boys school; Thomas McDonongb, who was executed with Vcnr6e and who hud been a teacher In bis school, and Joseph Phmkeft were oil of the same profession. De Valeru was a professor at Itublln university, os li Professor McNeil, the speaker of the dull. MIks Mary MncSwIney, sister of the hunger-strikin- g mayor of Cork, is also an educator. To. return to the author of "The Portrait of the Author us a Young Man" and the proscribed "Ulysses," James Joyce taught lan-guages In various schools In Fn Ere, Italy and Switzerland, while he was at work on his Italian novels.
