Tn. Effect. Of Over Activity.

DR.. Sawyer remarks that full exercise
Of the brain is favorable TO health and
longevity, and that prolonged brain work
is not necessarily injurious when unat-
tended by hurry, anxiety or excitement
The young and strong have an overplus
Of nerve force, but when the nerve capi-
tai il small the effect of over activity Is
an immediate danger. The carrying
Of business cares and worriments over
night is drain on the nervous system
Occupations requiring keen. continued
alertness, like that Of locomotive engi-
neers and bank tollers. are extremely
wearing. The nerve strain on specula-
tors is obvious. The excitement OF poll
tics wrecks some men. A very monot-
onous occupation exercises but one part
Of the brain, and that excessively.
THUS the bookkeeper, dealing with
figures and nothing but figures year after
year, becomes tired, listless, inelastio
and finally incapable of work. A Saca-
tion trip to the seaside or the mountains
benefits him immensely, partly by the
power Of pure air and exercise, but
largely because the overworked areas OF
the brain are rested, and because a new
set Of acts aud impressions exercises other
brain cells that need exercising. y

and thought this was the end OF ii. But
the old man turned the silver in his
hands, twisted his hat, and said he
should like the job Of gathering the next

the same number Of stones insist on

man has gathered his fourth ''crap" Of

firmly believes, and so do all the uumer-

know, however, that il is the washing

CoNKLING Senator Ros-
coe Conkling died in New York city
on the 18th inst. His illness was
brought on by exposure during the
heavy snow storm few weeks ago.
He was born in Albany, N. Y, Oct.
80, 1929, making him fifty-eight years
and nearly six Months old. Mr..
Conkling never received collegiate
education, but was great scholar
and brilliant orator. He studied law
and engaged in politics in early life.
He was elected four times to the low
or house of Congress, and twice elect
ed to the United States Senate. Re-
signed his seat in 1881, and since
then has practiced his profession.
He was clean handed in politics and
in his public and private life. Mr..
Conkling's mastery in public life and
in politics lay in his overpowering in
telleot. He sat in the halls Of Con-
gress for twenty years, and during all
that time he was conspicuous figure
and counted the peer of any member
in either house. His name has often
been spoken of as a candidate for
President OF the United States. He
was not candidate nor did he seek
q nomination.

Numerous correspondence furnish,
ed by Union Pacific railroad officials
were secured by Delegate Dubois and
presented to Congress. The argu-
ment made by Senator Stewart and
others that nature had placed insur.
mountable barriers between north
and south Idaho, are shown not to ex-
list. Below we publish the letter of
Chief Engineer Bogue to 7. L. Kim
ball, Acting General Manager. The
other correspondence agree with
Bogue's statements:
l. The southern portion of Idaho
is already connected with the Pan
handle of Idaho by the Utah Il North
ern and Northern Pacific Railways,
which form a connected line which
leaves the Oregon Short line at Po-
catello and runs north through por-
tions of Idaho and Montana, cutting
across the Panhandle of Idaho at
Pend d'Oreille lake.
2. Our surveys show that an ex-
cellent railroad route exists from
Huntington, the terminus of the Or
egon Short Line, down Snake river
to Lewiston, at the mouth OF Clear
water river; and that thence the
country tributary to Clearwater river
may be reached by railroad up the
Clearwater and one of its forks
in the direction OF Missoula, Montana
These are lines that our people viii
be Obliged 10 build in the near future
If they wish to hold the business o
the northwest.
3 We have also found a prac
ticable route from Weiser on thu
Oregon Short Line up Weiser River
thence down the Little Salmon ant
Salmon rivers, to the mouth of Salmon
river. 1t is not likely that all @
this will be built for many years t
come, but portions of it may b
built as branches to the main stem
extending down Snake River
A. The upper Salmon country ca
be reached by line running NORTH
westerly from Camas on the Utah an
Northern Railroad crossing tt
range and thence passing down Len
hi River to Salmon City.
The upper Salmon river regio
may also be reached by extendin
our line from Ketchum northwardl
crossing tho Sawtooth Range an
thence probably extending dow
Rock creek and beyond.
BY inspecting the map enclose
herewith, upon which the lines abo'
mentioned have been indicated, yC
will see that the different sections
Idaho Territory are situated well
regards projected lines of transpo
tation-and that communication b
tween the northern and southern pc
tons of the Territory will be goo
No detailed surveys of the upp
Salmon river country have ever be-
made by this company, there havi'
arisen no demand for such surveys.
There is every probability til
railroad communication between M
thern and southern Idaho will be pr
fected long before it will be betwe
Idaho and Nevada.
Southern Idaho is traversed by
Oregon Short Line, which, with
projected extension down the Sna
river, will in the near future be
great trunk line TO the northwest, a
it will form, with it's tributary lin
good communication between
northern and southern portions of
Territory.
