HIGH VALLEY, April 15.-Well,
Mr.. Editor, we have winter and
spring yet here. As this may seem
rather paradoxical, I will say that
we have plenty of snow over in this
valley yet, but probably by the time
our readers see this in print, the

Mr.. Editor, l am astonished at

By the time Mr.. Harrison gets
through his travels he will perhaps
have some notion of Mr.. Blaine's
popularity al the republican candi-
date for 1892.-New York World.
When he returns to Washington
he will be in position to appreci-

he will know a great deal more

President Harrison has earned a
vacation and all the conditions are
favorable to his taking it at this
time. The affairs of the govern
ment will 60 on as smoothly in his
absence as if he remained in Wash

The southern states are prepar-
ing to give the president a hearty
and hospitable welcome. There is
every reason why they should.
Gen. Harrison is president of the
whole country in feeling and in
action.-New York Tribune.
When he returns to Washington,

his journey, he will be refreshed in

that one term is quite enough for a

aid.
The journey of Mr.. Harrison will
not change the views of the people
the south as to the tendency of Mr..
Harrison's party. They are found
ed on too long and too bitter an
experience for that. But will not
the reception of the president by
the southern people help in some
degree to modify the feeling of the
more radical republicans of the
north? We cannot but hope that
that will be its efect.-New York
Times.
He is likely to be made acquaint-

sire for a stalwart administration.
He will gain deeper and broader
impression from contact with the
sovereign millions that whatever
grievances, agitations and sectional
differences may exist one great
truth rises high above everything
else-the masses of this nation are
at heart devoted to the common
welfare, to an imperishable union
of the states and to a policy which
will confirm free government in

acre, that is, without the conven-
fence of irrigation.
Why, what is poor man going to
do to get little home? If he has
the cash to buy Idaho state land
at the low figure Of $40 per acre or
upwards, then, if he has common
sense he will go to some more
fa> ored state for his home. Now
under this most nonsensical law, if
a man has money to get MIN
home, then he has enough to let
out at usury, and let the poor,
naked hills alone.
Idaho is not paradise, not by a
long chalk-iti is much like it's sis
ter states-it has more poor than
good lands; more barren noun
tains than fertile valleys; and the
choice and best are all taken up
some of it long ago. If govern
ment gave him a quarter section a
poor man could yet find plenty of
farming land in this state where
ne could possibly make a living,
or with the help Of the tax-collector,
starve to death. See?
1t might have been under the
influence of Snake medicine or
some powerful opiate that the
learned and worthy members imag-
ined themselves Astors or Jay
Goulds, and so thought the poor
lands as rich as they, so the lowest
figure they are to be sold at is $40
per acre-well! well!!
| Now, Mr.. Editor, I want to say a
word about our county officials;
not that I would impugn their hon
esty, oh no, I really think they are
as their constituents would wish
them to be. Yet have a small
matter to growl about, it is this.
They kept it all. Year before last
my tax was advertised delinquent.
l sent my money by mail, double
the amount, all right. Half of it
paid and the other half was re-
turned to me. AS my tax the past
year was about the same I sent the
same amount l did before, they
kept it all. They kept my money
some time until it was delinquent
before it was applied, then they
trumped up enough against me to
bunco the whole amount, road, poll
and hospital tax. l am an old
man and have not paid poll tax for
several years. w,ote to the COL
lector, he did not deign to answer
me; I wrote to the auditor, but
he did not notice me, but they kept
it all. wrote because l thought it
was an oversight, as I did not pay
poll tax before. Now if this is
right I would like to know it, and
if these things are done in dry
tree. what will they do in green
one? If my vote would return
them to Office they will be sure to
get it.

Perfection Not Reached Here.

Nothing quite satisfies the soul in this
world. The sweetest music. the finest
painting, the most perfect statuary, the
sublimest eloquence and the Unrest
beauty are not quite equal to the high
est ideal. The highest qualifications of
the mind and the heart lack something.
The grandest country on earth has
many faults, the best religious dehomi-
nation or society is wanting in some i'm
portant respect, and the prrest, happiest
home under the sun hides some dark
shadow. The efforts men make TO at.
tain state where they will be satisfied
are vain. Contentment is possible, but
complete satisfaction is not found in
this life. 1t is beyond. "Then shall
be satisfied when Isawake in Thy like

Influence Of individuals.

Much prominence is given, in these
days, to personal religious work among
individuals. The truth is emphasized
that men are influenced one by one
more surely than in multitudes, and
that every Christian worker can give a
message to his immediate fellow with
directness that it could not have
while being spoken from the pulpit to
q great congregation. This individual
influence is even greater than is gener.
ally supposed. Every young man is
speaking by his daily example to every
acquaintance of his; and he is winD Ing
his fellows to higher plane of living,
or encouraging them to be salts led
with life on lower plane. Not mere-
~ when he rouses himself to active ef-
fort in behalf of a companion, but in
his ordinary conduct, and in the spirit
which he illustrates in all his course, he
is influencing individuals, and he must
give account of that influence by and
by.-S. s. Times.

that prevents men from rising above the

unrelenting. Nothing is easier than to
submit to the incessant beck and call,
and to throw ones self YEARLY into the

Keep In Your Element.

There are thousands of persoLs in

their natural element. In my watch,
