Interest in the Worlds Fair
Growing.

Although full year must yet
elapse before the date fixed fol
the opening Of the great world
fair and Columbian Exposition al
Chicago. interest in the enterprise
Is already all over the country
and may be expected to steadily
Increase. The celebration, for
such 1t is, has ceased to be consi-
dered as merely Chicago enter
prise and Is now looked upon as a
national matter, in which the peo-
pie of the entire country should
feel an interest and to the success
of which the national honor is
pledged.
The United States Government
has already invited all the nations
of the world to participate in the
fair by sending exhibits, and near
ly all of them have signifed their
intention of taking part. hence the
country Is practically pledged to
see that the celebration is thor
ough success. That the masses
of the people feel this is demon
strated by the deep interest which
is everywhere displayed in the
PROCESS being made in the prepar-
ations of Chicago and in the eff
forts which each State is making
to prepare proper exhibits of its
products and industries.
1t Will be remembered that in
the bill providing for the Column
bian Exposition there was also
provision made for grand naval
review and demonstration in Ham
pton Roads and New York BAY.
to take place at about the COM
mencement of the fair. To this
naval review it is proposed to III
vito all naval powers to send re-
preventative squadrons of their
warships, and it is expected that
parsonage i'll the Governments of
the different countries which will
be represented Will also be in at
tendance.
This naval display will be of un-
usual interest to the American
people because at the present time
there Is no more popular issue
among all classes than the build |
ing of the new navy. By the date
of the contemplated naval review
a number of the new ships now
building will have been completed |
and put in commission, so that
the American navy, while not as
numerous or as powerful as some |
of the great fleets of Europe, will,
nevertheless, be able to muster a
which will compare we'll
with those foreign powers will be
likely to send.
AS the naval review is intended
as part of the worlds fair cele
bration, the interest felt in the
former project in no way detracts
from that felt in the latter, hence
the worlds fair managers should
take no steps to prevent adequate
preparations being made to make
the naval demonstration success.

For great number of years placer
mining has been conducted along
Snake river, and proably no place in
the world is there another as great
deposit Of fine -four gold as in the
valley of this stream. Mining has
been successfully carried on from
Idaho Falls down to few miles below
the high bridge of the Oregon Short
Line, distance by the stream of
nearly 400 miles. Above the bridge
for about seventymiles there are only
few inches fall to the, mile, and
while the bars on each side are rich
in gold the difficulty of getting water
on them is such great obstacle that
comparatively little mining has yet
been done. At points where water
can be secured in abundance there is
undoubtly good pay in store for
judicial mining, Glenn's Ferry is at
the upper end of the sluggish portion
of the river about 100 miles above
the 0. S. L. bridge. Above the Ferry
the stream has heavy fall most of
the distance from its source. Several
machines are kept in operation in the
season at the Ferry and are SAID to
pay handsomely. Between Shoshone
Falls and American Falls various
parties have placed in large wheels
and are taking the water from the
river and realizing large profits. With
all the canals that will soon be taken
out of Snake river the water will be
lowered so that miners can work the
center bars at great profit. 1t is not
unreasonable to expect return of the
California days Of '49. The bed OF
Snake river is lined with gold and al
that is needed to successfully operate
it is TO reduce the flow of water from
the stream by means of canals, Idaho
will yet take the lead as the gol6
producing state of the Union.

There is whole lot of sound sense
in the following from the Chicago
Herald: "Oh, think of the home
over there" is the sweet refrain of a
popular hymn. We do not want to
throw cold water on the honest efforts
of the pious poet, but we do wish be
had directed his energies to the
Improvement of the home down here.
When q man or woman thinks Of the
"home over there" then the home be-
low the clouds gets but little attention.
We think that kind of piety is not
practical. Think of the home that
you occupy, and try to make it better
happier and purer. The home over
there is in better hands, and does not
need your exclusive attention until
you get there.

The Idaho Register says that in that

The Idaho Register says that in that
section: There is strong suspicion,
that there is some mischief lurking
beneath the pretended necessity for
the proposed extra session, This
idea crops out and is strengthened by
the governor, speaking of the griev-
ances of the board, in the following
sentence: Throughout all the north
western states and territories the
tendency has been to enlarge their
duties, and they are everywhere
clothed with authority to bring about
uniformity of taxation. l." This en-
braces the whole idea and claim for
the nscessity of an extra session. 1t
is scheme to remove the power of
assessment from the counties, where
it legitimately belongs, and place it
in the hands Of a centralized board
who, too often, can be corrupted by
extraneous influences, and whose
ideas of specific value is about as clear
as hogs is Of the Pentateuch. The
railroad companies, having failed to
obtain any special favors from a
tribunal where justice is meeted out
pure and simple, and having been
compelled to walk the straight path
of right, would have the future
jurisdiction of matters pertaining to
their taxation removed to tribunal
more easily corrupted. This Is the
prime force and idea underlying the
question OF an extra session.

Getting Ahead.

A business man recently said to me
|" ri never knew a young man to get
ahead who commenced by going in
debt"
I replied that never knew q young
man to get ahead who did not make hin
start by getting into debt. We we're both
right. He was speaking of one kind Of
indebtedness; I, of another. he had in
mind personal wants such as clothing,
board, etc. I, the nucleus for home or
business.
Nothing indicates character in young
man or an older one, for that matter,
more quickly and surely than his debts,
if he has any. If for something to live
on, or wear, the chances are at least ten
to one that he will scratch a poor head
all his days.
If, however, for piece of land, a lot,
stock in a building and loan association,
or anything which has a home or the
foundation of a livelihood for its object,
each payment made means a granite
stone in the foundation of his character.
If Paul we're writing again, "Owe no
man anything" I think he would add,
"past DUE" ITO love one another is
always due. Other debts are not properly
debts at all, in the sense be meant, until
date of payment. Financial manhood is
built up, not by keeping out of debt, but
by promptness of payment.
Another fact in the same line is that
saving money is vastly more matter of
principle and habit than of amount of
salary. Personally, I have never known
young man who, if he did not save
money on salary of $40 a month,
would do it on seventy-fve. If he did
not on $50, he would not on S1OO. The
man who saves nothing on $1,000 year
will not do it on $4,000 nor on So 900 nor
even on s., ,000.
If you think these are wild statements,
and not borne out by the facts, ask any
business man of wide acquaintance, or if
you do not know one, ask your pastor, if
he has had experience among salaried
workers.
Money in a savings bank is not the
best financial test of a manly character.
A partly or wholly paid for home, or
piece of land on which to build one, is
far better test. On the other hand, it is
the best test I know of, unless building
and loan association stock excepted, for
wage.working women, whether they work
in homes, Offices or factories.
Naturally, man looks forward to
buying ground and building home; a
woman to the furnishing, which takes
ready mouey.-Womas Kane, in tie In.

A Western Tornado.

MADISON, s. D., July, ola destruc.
tive tornado visited the town of Gettys-
burg at midnight Tuesday night. The
storm formed on the Missouri river and
swept west through the State and as far
as the Minnesota line. At Gettysburg
the storm assumed the proportions of o
tornado, completely demoishing the
Methodist Church and two school
houses, several fine residences and fifteen
business houses. Every vestige of the
Advocate printing Office with its heavy
machinery was obliterated and the con-
tents are scattered about the prairie.
Mrs. William Herring and her two chill
dren were crushed TO death in their
home. twenty-five horses and cattle
were also killed. The railroad track was
torn up and telegraph wires prostrated.
The storm covered a wide area and it is
probable that much more serious damage
will be reported as soon as communica-
ton can be established.
