"Every merchant in st. Louis"
SAID Mr. j. B. Case, president of the
Mercantile club, yesterday, "will pro-
test against the removal of the head
quarters from Sedalia. Missouri has
too MANY claims on the road to allow
the idea to be even thought of. This
state has supplied the sinews of war
by which the road was constructed.
1t has been unfriendly to the COM
mercial interests of st. Louis, and the
contemplated change would be only
one step further in rearing up barriers
between the road and its patrons. A
vast amount ofits business is from St.
Louis and Missouri, and it cannot af.
ford to offend its best customers. The
road will find it a poor business VEN
ture to take the offices away from
Missouri. The people will resent it
more than any other move which they
could make"
$50 what do you attribute the de-
sire for changing the location of the
officss?"
"The road says that the shops and
Offices should be together. They will
find it Improbable to remove the
offices to Parsons, Kas. The addition
al cost of directing the read from that
place will more than swallow up
whatever may be saved by locating
them there"
81 cannot see how the road would
be strengthened by moving its shops
to Parsons" said Il. III. Stockton,
second vice-president of the Simmons
Hardware company. ''It would GER
tainly involve quite an expense and
place them much further from their
base of supplies. l am quite sure that
Sedalia has many claims for the per-
manency of the headquarters that the
road should recognize. 1t lies on the
main line, and is a junction point with
the Missouri Pacific. They can secure
an unlimited amount of wood material
of the very best kind for all their car

Valuable Eheep Stolen

Fourteen head of fine sheep were
stolen from Locust Grove farm on
Tuesday night last. Twelve of the
sheep were Euis, one was fine show
wether and one was three year old
buck. The buck was purchased at
$50 and the evils 500 per head. They
were all full blood soutbdown
sheep. They were taken
from the pasture out of a
herd of eighty-two head. The thief
made a good selection, for the sheep
taken were the largest and finest in
the herd.
LATER.
John Z. Gentry, the owner of the
stolen sheep, yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a telegram from Jce Rsmey
date at Hughesville stating that the
sheep had been found, but gave none
of the particulars.

! About so miles south of Cald.
| we'll are the world famed mines of
De Lamar, Wayontown and Silver
City. One mine alone at the first
place and owned by Captain De
Lamar, is producing monthly S..
...., and on account of its long
distance from a railroad and expen-
sive transportation of machinery,
is only worked on a limited scale.
Captain De Lamar has guaranteed
to the first railroad that would
build 10 this mine 10 carloads of
ore per day for the first two years.
This is only one mine of fifty, and
with railroad facilities provided,
these mines would be able to- yro-
duce an enormous amount of ore.
Caldwell is happily situated to
offer a shorter and mere practical
route for a railroad than any other
town on the Oregon Short Line,
and a line having been surveyed, it
only remains to be seen whether
the Short Line management will
let the golden opportunity slip by
to secure this valuable and extern
sive traffic. There is but little
doubt about the building of this
line in connection with the line

FARM LANDS
A Few Words About tho
Farmers Paradise"
More About Caldwell the
"City Of Destiny"

u0 o0CtAOu VI VIC L ulVOU OSes VOs
that ia destined to be known al
the richest agricultural district in
America, lies tributary to Caldwell
Idaho. Here are 100000 acres o.
as fine virgin soil as ever awaited
cultivation. 1t is sandy loan in
character and possesses the chemi-
cal elements necessary to the pro.
duction of all crops. The climate
is the best possible for a varied
production. The experience of
those who are engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits in the valleys of the
Boise, Payette and Snake rivers,
Idaho, is a most satisfactory proof
of the assertion that nowhere in the
United States is there a better
place for the farmer. There is an
abundance of land awaiting occu-
pancy. It costs but little to put it
in shape for cultivation. There is
no doubt about the harvest, once
the seeds properly planted.
IRRIGATION.
The farmer'is not dependent on
rains for the necessary moisture to
produce his crop, nor is he liable
to have the harvest scorched and
blasted by excessive heat, or
drowned out by heavy rains. For
needed moisture he depends on irri-
cation, which by a system of canals
and bitches, furnishes at any
desired moment, abundant water.
The water supply is constant and
never failing. The rivers from
which it is taken are of large VOL
ume and have their sources high
up in the mountains where they
are fed by melting SHOWS that
never wholly disappear.
IMPROVED FARM LAND
can DO purchased, together with
permanent water right, at prices
varying from SIS to 800 per acre. |
During the last year rapid progress
has been made in settling up and
improving the agricultural portions
of the outlying sections. Indica.
tons point to a heavy immigration
in the spring months of the pres
ent year. Land values are
advancing rapidly and those who
are acquainted with and appreciate
the superior advantages of this
section for agricultural purposes
are eagerly securing available
farming lands. The recent ad mis-
sion to statehood has called the
attention of outsiders to Idaho, and
her superior advautages-so wide
and varied-are sure to attract
and hold those who are looking for
homes and paying investments.
The wise and far seeing, and those
who are acquainted with the rapid
advances made in developing the
western sections of our country
particularly those who are expert
enced in sections where resort il
mad to irrigation, recognizes at
once, the superior advantages Of
this section Of country and are not
slow in evidencing their eagerness
10 invest here, to secure property
1t the present nominal values that
hey may reap the sure profit of ,
future advances. Fortunes will be
made in this way, with little
expenditure of capital or labor.
There is no section in the United
States where the farmer reaps a {
arger return than right here in j
he neighborhood of Caldwell. ,
Take for example the yield in hay, I

who has journeyed through tn

lie sees on all sides broad acres Of
clover and alfalfa and where hi
breathes the clear atmosphere
scented with the sweet aroma of
their blossoms. Nor would this be
his only surprise and qualification,
Wheat and oat fields would attract
his attention, and. if prompted to
inquire, he would find them to be
very profitable fields, yielding
from thirty to eighty bushels to
the acre. He would notice as we'll,
fields planted with vegetables Of
almost every variety, and the
farmer would challenge him to cite

Practical Education.

Andrew Carnegie has intimated on
more than one occasion that his millions
will be- given to educational purposes
during and after his life Butt will not
be to colleges, but rather to primary in
stitntions and assisting those already
established, for the education of young
men in the practicai things Of life.
Mr.. Carnegie does not think that q
collegiate course is necessary for a young
man to be successful in monetary mat
ters In fact, he has been heard to say
more than once that q young imam with
some recognized occupation, like teieg
raphy or stenography to fall back upon,
in case of emergency, is better off 10y far
than the college graduate who has mere
~ an unassorted fund of knowledge,
which has no practical or marketable
value.
The fact is, as n rule, the college grad
uate rarely becomes o successful business
man. He generally draws upon his
mental forces so severely in the contests
for honor that there is not much left to
grow and expand, when the frictions of
practical life are confronted The mind
becomes stnnted, it's resources burns

Of u college training, but with robust III u
tality they grow up with the opportunity

worldly success. They grow, too, moral

make better and more useful citizens
every way-tilink and sympathze with
the people and adjust their methods and
their aims to suit the practica demands
