Uses of Electricity.

Electric wands are now used in
beast tanning.
The days of the telephone girl are
numbered. A new invention makes
telephone connections automatically.
The electric cabs recently intro
duced at Stuttgart, Germany, are re-
ported to be very successful and very
popular.
Electric motors are said to be com
ing into general use in shoe factories
Manufacturers find the motor prefer
able in cleanliness, economy, and, IN
fact, in every way, to steam power
English manufacturers are bleach
ing paper by an electrical process,
without, it is stated, impairing its
strength. A magnesium chloride So
luton is decomposed by a powerful
electric current, with the evolution OF
chlorine and oxygen
Edward A. Hyde, of kenosha,
Wis, is said to be the inventor of a
gun in which the projectiles are hreo
by electricity. No gunpowder Is
used, and the inventor claims tha'
the guns may be made of wood o.
paper, and yet be effective at Ions
range.
It is not little curious to find th'
industry of ice making connected
with the production of electricity

TIE Malad Enterprise says: "Dur-
ing the last four years we have been
subsisting in summer time on grass
hoppers and wild onions, in winter
season on snow balls and cedar bark,
clothing our family in stink weeds,
tied together with angle worms. AS
rule we rustic fire wood in the night
time, when the elements war and
thick gloom covers the skies. We
are liberal patron of the slaughter
pen, and tripe and tails and shank
bones are never permitted to fatten
homeless ours and hairless coyotes;
we have free access to a patch of wild
currants and gooseberries, on unsur-
veyed lands; yet, notwithstanding
the fact that all our solid noursh-
ment comes to us as mama came tC
the children of Israel, there are few
luxuries that must be bought. Take
salt, for instance. Then, in the way
of raiment, one is almost compelled
to invest in a bit of hickory or blue
drilling during Geld snaps. These
things cost money.

AMERICAN A FARMERS



lhe news of famine in Madras.
while pltiful to read, because famine
IN India means suffering which Amer
leans have no conception of, is still
an item of good to the farmers of the
United States. 1t is another proof
that they will this year have a mar
ket abroad for every surplus pound
OF wheat, of corn, of meat, of dairy
products that they can possibly pro-
duce. 1t ought to be an exceeding
ly prosperous year for the farmers of
the United States. The present out
look is that the crop will be above
the average, and unless some calaml-
ty lntervenes between now and the
harvest, there will be nearly six hun
dred million bushels of wheat, one
third of which can be sent away. And
If that result can be realized, in our
judgment it will come pretty nearly
breaking up the Farmers Alliance,
because 1t is fact that the Alliance
was born of the poverty and distress
of the farmers. They never would
have thought of such going into a
new party if they had received a fair
reward for their labor during the last
fifteen years, but they have not, and
1T was In desperation that they met
and said that something so abnormal
had come upon them that change
was needed. And the scarcity oi
money led them into that other fool
ish dream that it was possible tc
make some representative of money
5 which would answer in its stead
And then, by borrowing money at
or per cent. year, through tht
? profits which would come over anC
r above their interest, they would hav,
< something left, losing sight of tn

SENH1-wEEHLy
IDAHO.

The new west is still virgin field
for energy, enterprise and settlement,
says the Irrigation Age. Its history
is yet unwrltten. Its pilgrim fathers
have set foot on its shores, the red
man has been driven back, the cor
ner stones of states have been laid,
but that is all. The day of develop
ment is yet only gray streak against
the horizon of the future.
For instance, look at Idaho. 1t
has territory of 86,294 square miles.
Nature has endowed it with abun-
dant streams, with millions of acres
of irrigable land, with inexhaustible
stores of minerals, with splendid for
ests, with climate which nurses men
to old age. But all these resources
are almost as nature left them. The
Snake river valley alone could sup
port population of over 100000,
while the population of the whole
state is but scant 100000. The
largest city shows less than 5000,
There are marvellous water powers.
but no manufactures. Who believes
that Idaho will not some day utilize
her streams and fertile lands like
Southern California, her mineral re-
sources like Pennsylvania and Colo
RADIO, her water powers like Massa-
chusetts? Who doubts that in the
future she will live ten years, while
the old states live one? Why should
a young man bump his head against
the commercial barrier of an old and
severe civilization when the west
needs him to do in these days the
, work of development which his re.
mote ancestors did in New England
New York or Virginia two centuries
} ago?
: Idaho is only one state in the new
&. west, but typical one. Her future
| remains to be nodded by energetic
E men. Agriculture, resting on the
/ sure basis of irrigation, must be tn
e foundation of her prosperity. Whel
e this has been advanced the mine
e will multiply, and the merchant ant
S manufacturer will come to cater t
t, the wants of the growing population
It We speak particularly of Idaho be
p cause in this issue something is sal
" of her present irrigation development
d and of the opportunity which exist
st for settlement and investments. Bu
e. Idaho is chiefly interesting as typ
A. of that new and hopeful west
IN which she belongs.

The ball given in Odd Fellows,
hAli last Tuesday night, for the bene.
ut OF the school house fund w,s
success beyond all expectation. It
Was unanlnousl y voted the most en-.
loyaoIe Fourth of July ball ever given
IN Idaho City. The music, it is safe
TO say could not be excelled by any
town IN Idaho. Most of the night
the orchestra was composed of six
instruments, all in the hands of skill
ful players, The ball was opened by
the young ladies orchestra, composed
OF four pieces: Violin, Miss Amelia
Jones; piano, MISS Pauline Davis:
guitar, Miss Theresa Haug; violin.
cello, Mrs. Bert Day. This was the
first time the orchestra played in
public, and everybody was surprised
and delighted. The orchestra was
greeted with storms of applause
They played several selections during
the night. The dance continued un-
til 3 o'clock. Refreshments were
served in Masonic hall. The hall
was handsomely decorated. Every
body contributed in one way and an
other toward the financial and social
success of the occasion, showing the
interest the people of the town take
in the matter of raising funds for the
construction of the new school house
The amount realized on the dance
was $l10; on refreshments, $10O.15
Great credit is due the ladies', espe
cially, for refreshments and "solids'
furnished, and for their services il
attending to the tables.
