WHY NOT RAISE THEM?
A Few Comments on Prune
Culture.
An Industry that is Prof
liable.

In an Oregon paper this week,
we notice the following:
Prune raising in Southern Oregon has
proved most profitable, one farmer last
season receiving $20S0 for prunes raised
on 10 acres while neighbor received
1892 for the product of acres. From
one-half to seven-tenths is net profit,
according to variation in prices.
Such items are to be seen frequently
in western papers Now and then
we notice whole columns relating to
the startling results and profitable
returns from prune culture. After
reading them one is invariably struck
with the limited attention that is at
tracted in this section to that grow
ing industry. When one considers
the remarkable adaptability of this
part of Idaho to fruit raising, he
wonders why there is not more
extensive branching out into a line
which undoubtedly yields an enor-
nous profit. Today prunes are
selling at IA cents a pound, or 2 cents
higher than two years ago. And the
consumption of the country is con-
stantly increasing; but at the same
time the importation of foreign
prunes is stealily decreasing as is
shown by the following figures foi

1t is surprising to observe what
various eminent men have accomplish
ed by devoting few minutes eacn
day to the study Of some science or
art The systematic use of ''odd
moments" is in fact the secret of many
a mans eminence in life. The en-
trance of the Oregonian Edition En-
cyclopedia Britannica into SO many of
our homes, suggests some thoughts
which the young would do well to
consider. When you receive your
first volume, take up the subject of
Biography and read carefully the life
of Alexander In your next volume
read the life of Aristotle; in your next
Bacon, Beethoven, Byron, Chatham,
Columbus, Demosthenes, Edward
Everett, Farragut, Vim. Lloyd
Garrison, Alexander Hamilton,
Homer, the apostle John, Long
fellow, Matthew, Mohammed, Napol-
con, the apostle Paul, Pope, Raleigh,
Scott, Alexander H. Stephens, Wash
ington, Wellington, Xerxes. A
biography Of one famous character in
history for each of the twenty-five
volumes.
Fifteen minutes each day for one
year will suffice. Take your
measurements now, at the beginning
of this self-appointed task; at the end
of the year take your measurement
again, and what would you take for
your bargain?
The knowledge you would have
gained of the great characters of
history, statesmen, scholars, poets,
musicians orators, philosophers,
would alone pay you hundredfold
for your investment. And yet you
have touched upon but one Of the
many thousand subjects contained in
this great work.

Wanted, goo Rabbit Feet in Idaho.

Walla Walla Statesman.
How to get an office is now the
prominent idea in the heads of many
good Democrats, and the Statesman
is often asked the best way to go
about it. tbs something of a secret,
but for the good of the boys we will
tell them that they must first obtain
their credentials and be qualified to
run the Office they aspire to. Then
they must get the foot of rabbit
killed on the grave of coon when
the sign is in the heart in the dark OF
the moon in the month of August.
After that place their endorsements
in burglar proof safe, and the less
they bother the county and STATE
committees until after April next the
better show they will have to gel
something.

Last Chance mine, can compare
strength with Goliah. He is six feet
two inches in height, his chest
measurement is AZ inches, waist 46,
he turns the scales at 256 pounds,
and is 40 years old. Anvils are toys
for his strength, boilers and immense
hywheels he handles with apparent
ease, and he is contemplating a
journey on foot to the Worlds Fair,
carrying as baggage a sample OF ore
from the mine in which he works
weighing 353 pounds. On arrival,
he proposes if he succeeds in securing
space for his especial and exclusive
use, to display his chunk of galena

AMONG THE LAW MAKERS.
Short Glimpses at the Idaho
Legislature.
New Bills that have been
Introduced.

County division bills still continue
to occupy good deal of the attention
of the Legislature. The Cleveland
county bill cutting off part of Bear
Lake county, was the cause of quite
ripple in the house when it came
up on its third reading, some in
tensely partisan members objecting
to the name, an ungentlemanly
wrangle ensued and singing remarks
were hurled about broadcast. Crane,
Mills, Barnett, Miller, Lewis and
Workman have made warm friends of
the newspaper fraternity by their able
champion ship of that most just print
ing bill. The mortgage tax bill has
been laid on the table for an indefinite
length of time. A joint memorial
asking congress to appropriate $lO,-
600 for the support of state soldiers
home has been adopted and signed
by the governor, who has also signed
the Worlds Fair bill Governor
Mcconnell sent a message to the
house Recommending the appoint
ment of ten earnest free coinage
men as delegates to the bimetallic
league which m eets in Washington on
the 22d. Workmans bill to protect
telegraph companies in the secrecy of
messages passed the house unan-
imously. In open session of the
Senate Friday, one of the members
made a kick at a newspaper article
regarding himself, which caused a
little breeze. Lawson's bill regarding
railroad passes has been indefinitely
, postponed.
For while Saturday there was a
deadlock in the house over the joint
| resolutions to appoint delegates to the
meeting of the bimetallic league. The
resolution was finally carried. Work
l mans road bill has now passed both
t houses and only awaits the governor
signature.

1t is we'll known how prolific is the
country around Weiser. Then can
it be wondered at, with this state of
affairs, that the question is often
asked, "Why is it that the Weiser
