WOOD RIVER TIMES
HALEY. IDAHO,
OPPOSED, BECAUSE UNREASON.
ABLE.

A remembrance against the passage
OF bill pending in the Idaho Legis-
laturr. to reduce local passenger fares
in this State to a fraction above two
cents per mile, was circulated in town
to day. and signed by about every body
to whom it was presented.
This action WAS taken not because
the people here are opposed to the
regulation ct railroads, but because
the bill is too radical. IL the PROPOSE.
'ion made was to reduce the ratio to
I 'ur cents, or even to 81 cents pc,
mile, the people of Wood River would
favor it. But the rate proposed is
almost As low as the low est, and there
fore totally unified to the frontier.
Ii the Legislature will pass q bill
to reduce the rates on freight, in aud
out, very few, il any, will protest
against it.

MORNING SESSION
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Inns.

The stations at which the the steamer
halts consist of only few wooden houses,
| but the passengers who come and go are
We'll clothed and prosperous-looking, and
! often quite smartly clad. Their polite
| ness is admirable, and as they part. one
/ peasant bows to another with q courtly
grace. In this respect, however, they are
not superior to that patient and good soul,
the Russian moujick, whose simple and
unaffected pOliteness leaves nothing to be
desired. The same cannot be said for his
sobriety. Here the Flnlander stands a
world apart. The latter goes to his plain,
unadorned Lutheran Church on Sundays
in his best black coat, and outwardly, at
any rate, keeps his religion for the Sab
BATH
The Russian is forever bowling and
crossing himself before gilded pictures of
Our Lady and the saints, and is continu-
ally passing in and out of the ever-recur-
| ring byzantine churches, the cupolas of
which rise from the vast plains of his ma
tive land like mushrooms from a marsh.
Whether this be religion or superstition
l leave to wiser heads to decide, but it is
beyond doubt the greatest centripetal and
concentrlc force in Russia. The Russian
again is often in the liquor shop. but the
Finn generally has no liquor shop to
which to go.
Within twelve hours after leaving Lab
us the handsome wooden houses of Jy-
vaskula and its two very tolerable stone
churches crown gentle eminence at the
head of Lake Paianne. One gentleman
alone in this little town speaks English:
no one speaks Russian. The only lingnist,
the Captain of the steamer, hospitable
and kindly, arranges for bed and board
in house Of spotless cleanliness, the
linen OF which would have done credit to
Partisan laundress. The beds at first
sight are rather puzzle. They are all of
the same size, shape, hight and never
more than three feet long. Luckily at
nightfall, or rather at bedtime, for Just
now there is no night, they discover ca
pacity for being extended to double their
original length.
The table at breakfast is spread with
anchovies, butter, bread, cheese, bologna
| sausage, slices Of cold beet, radishes in
and out of milk, collops of salmon and
bottles of schnapps and vodki. This,
with one hot dish to follow, forms the
usual breakfast, and with the additions
of soup and pudding, the ordinary din
| ner of Finland. The hotel has a tele-
phone.-The National Review.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart Of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 160 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
tins the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installmentS. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal Is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with inI
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
peoially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement Will prove to
home-seekers that this is al opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement In smaller quantities and its devotion

sists of two main sticks, twenty-eight
feet long, weighing each 100 pounds,
and two cross sticks twenty-one feet
long and weighing rs pounds each.
All the sticks were two by six inches
In dimensions. Over the frame work
was stretched great sheet of white
dack, twenty-five by eighteen feet,
which weighed fifty five pounds. The
tail of the kite alone weighed fifty
pounds and contained 155 yards of
muslin. Twenty-Five hundred feet of
one-half inch rope served as kite

Non kippur.

Yesterday was the most solemn
festival day on the Jewish sacred cal
endar, divinely Instituted as the Yom
Kippur or Day of Atonement, and
occurs on the 10Th day of Tishri. In
accordance with the Hebrew reckon
ing. the Holiday began at 6 p. m.
TUESDAY and closed at the same time
Wednesday. Four times and in four
different chapters of the Pentaeuch is
the commandment given TO keep this
day of days sacred. The whole of
the 10th chapter of Leviticus is also
devoted to a minute description of
the sacredotal ordinances. which de-
manded the sacrifice of two goats,
one of which. the scapegoat, was to
be sent away in tie wilderness, laden
with the sins AMI transgressions Of
the people; and the other was to be
offered a. an acceptable atonement
TO the Lord. 1t was also on this day
only the high priest was permitted
! to enter the sanCtum sanctorum as
the intercessor Tor the people of
Israel, when Jehovah would appear
in. the cloud upon the mercy seat. ="
But there is a vast difference in the
observance OF the day between the
strictly orthodox and the reformed
Jews. The former do not touch Il
morsel OF food or 4 drop of water for
~ hours, wear the long kittle or
white shroud in wlich they expect to
be laid to rest at death and the
fringed upper garment. and recite
all their prayers il Hebrew. On the
other hand, in the temples OF the re-
formed. English ard German is the
prevailing Language of worship; some
fast and some do not, the rabbinic
ceremonies have been done away
with and certain modern services in

"What are you doing to that horse?"
The spectacle of a graceful and
neatly-dressed young woman calmly
rearranging the head-gear of a wor-
ried horse is apt to excite remark
even from the driver of a vegetable
peddler's wagon.
Aren't you ashamed to tie this
horses head up so cruelly?" The
speaker was a young actress and
she stood on Kansas CITY
street curb deity adjusting the
horses binders and pulling
mosquito net out of his eyes. Then
she loosened the check rein, while a
crowd looked on approvingly and the
horse gratefully rubbed its nose
against her shoulder. Then she pro-
ceeded to give the driver some good
advice about the care of his beast.
well, it's my horse" he said. The
animals released head bobbed up and
down out of pure JOY, and the driver
thought strange thoughts as he
went on.
This is a very bad town for horses"
continued the young lady, almost as
bad as Pittsburg. Ever since I've
been here have noticed how tightly
their heads are refined up and with
what effort they ascend the steep

almost to bursting. 1t is a shame ard
