The County Treasurer's quarterly
report was examined and approved.
In the matter OF the appointment
of County Commissioner to fill the

There being no election, the matter
was laid over until the next regular
session of the board.
TINE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
In the matter of the proclamation
OF the Governor of Idaho Territory,
issued the second day Of April, 1889,
calling for an election of delegates
for Constitutional Convention to
assemble at Boise City on the 4th
day of July, 1884,
IT Is ORDERED, That this Board of
County Commissioners take no &C.
ton In the matter, and assign the fol-
lowing reasons therefor:
F.rstly.-That the expense of such
election would be a charge against
the county ordering the same, and no
provision has been made by the Leg.
islature for such expense.
Secondly.-There being no author.
ity. other than the caprice of the
Governor of Idaho, for calling said
Convention, in all probability said
Convention would result IN no good
to the Territory.
Thirdly.-The Legislature having
made no provisions to pay the ex-
penses OF such election, nor for hold
ing such a Convention, none Others
are likely to become candidates for
delegates to such Convention than
those who are able to pay their own
expenses-thus assembling a con-
ven,ion of moneyed autocrats who
would be most likely to frame con-
stitution favorable to corporations
and against the laboring interests of
our Territory. We believe that
constitution framed by a convention
so constituted would not be accept
able to the people of this Territory,
and would be in danger of being
voted down and thus, delay the OBJ
ject most sought-our early admis-
sion into the Union of States.

Of a year growth are used. The pulp
is mixed, after it has been prepared,
with a given proportion of a vegetable
gum known as hotong, and the paper is
moulded in moulds made of the bam-

sixty feet in length, which the Chinese
are said to MAKE. are supposed to be
fabricated by artfully joining several
small sheets at the moment OF laying the

London never fails to impress the
tourist with its peculiar place among
the cities OF the world. There are

buildings; its main thorOugbfares,
such as Regent street and Oxford
street. are not to be compared with those
in Paris or Philadelphia; but there is
solidity in its pavements, steady
progress In its vehicles, sense OF con-
tinuity in the endless succession OF its
streets. an air of unpretending con-
fidence in its crowds, an unabashed,

NOTHING LIKE PRAISE.
Many Child is Heart Hungry for Word
of Encoura ement.

Parents are too often slow TO see the
motive of their children kindest ac-
lions. A little fellow has been reading
of some young hero who helped his
father and mother in all sorts of ways;
and after racking his brains to think
how he, too, can help, he remembers
that he can fetch his fathers slippers,
and take his boots away and put them
in the proper place. Without saying a
word to anybody, when evening comes
he does it; but the father is So occupied
that he notices not what the boy has
done. The little fellow hopes on,
thinking that wheu he goss to bed his
see Charley SO willing to help; but not
word is uttered, and the boy goes up
to bed with choking feeling in his
throat. and says his prayers by the
bedside with sadness very real in his
heart.
Parents often complain of children
not being so ready TO help as they
should be; the fault is with the parents,
who have not known how to evoke feel
ings with which the heart OF every
chi is richly stored. All words OF
approval are helpful and encouraging
In large family there have been days
of anxiety and care, The eldest daugh-
ter by her skill in teaching has earned
a little extra money, and without a
word to any one she lays nearly all al
it out in buying things that are much
needed in the house. What joy fills
her heart when fond mother takes her
aside, and with emotion that can not be
concealed says how thankful she is fot

Cover the Ground Nicely.
Some time ago In newspaper
article | took occasion to insist on the
necessity Of introducing into the Ian
guage one or two new words in order
TO express with clearness ideas grow
ing out OF the use OF one OF the mod
ern labor-saving devices. which IN ali
probability is bound to be more and
more used as time goes on. The de-
vice referred to is the typewriter.
That it will entirely snpersede HAND
writing is by no means likely: but that
dexterity in the use OF it will come to
be one OF the essentials in the educa-
ton of boys and girls have not the
slightest doubt. There will neces-
sarily be some loss along with great
gain, since the individuality OF hand
writing-one OF its chief charms will,
as matter of course, disappear.
In connection with the use of the
typewriter the necessity for two new
words must be apparent on moments
thoughtful consideration. One OF
these is for the product Of the type
writing machine. Typewriter man

ployed; but is there any reason why
"typoscript" should not be substituted
for it? The word is properly formed,

possible for his friend to determine
without further inquiry whether a
machine has been purchased or a
pretty young woman engaged. My
first thought upon this matter was
that .'typograph' would be an excel
lent word to denote the instrument on
which .typoscript'' is produced but
as soon as my attention was called 10
the fact that we already have the
words Typography, Typographical. y

the better There should be no hest
