LETTER RECEIVED FROM A FORMER UNION MAN The Times' editor recently received a letter from Rev. W. E. G. Humphries, now living: at Nespelem, Wash., hut for several years residing at Flandreau, S. I). Mr. Humphries is in the service of the government, Department of the Interior, Urtited States Indian Service, and has this year 50 schools under his supervision as supervising superintendent and 30 schools under his jurisdiction as day school inspector. In concluding his letter, Mr. Humphries writes as follows : n "My work takes me over a large territory of very interesting countryincluding schools in Idaho and many scattered over almost the entire State of Washington. "The climate is excellent, scenery picturesque and sublime. Winters are just a little too long to suit one that was born and reared in South. Last year, or winter, snow was on the ground for about six months and most of this time so deep that it was very difficult to travel. This was true with reference to northeastern part of the State, but on the western part of the State very little snow fell and that which fell did not stay on the ground very long. "It has been very dry here all sum?.. 1. 1 __ jiici t cmm tiujift aic nut as ^uuu I usual. However, at the Colville Agen | cy we have irrigation and our gardens arc hard to heat.

I quite a quantity of dried vegetables.) I such as beans, carrots, cabbage, par-1 snip. etc. In addition to this my fam-' ily have canned a great many vegetables and fruits, and will can a great deal more. I have tried to do my part along this line during the odd moments of my time. All food in this part of the world is very high and it j behooves one to conserve all he can." j JAPAN STANDS WITH ALLIES I In the War From High Purposes?Her j Treaties Not Mere Scraps of Paper.
