Boise City brought from forty-five to
sixty dollars q ton, and this occurred just
previous to the advent of railroads in
the state, and chickens and eggs, from
a scarcity in the uarket rose to twenty
dollars . dozen for chickens and five
dollars dozen for eggs. These things,
while quite beneficial to the farmer, and
produced prosperity to those who had
hay, eggs and chickens, was detri-
ment to miners and teamsters and
others, creating for those who were
working for fixed wages, hard times.
Then there was another peculiar thing
existing in those days, as now, money
from some peculiar reason drlfted int
the hands Of few, and during tn
winter months when the mines wer
not worked, and teamsters made irree
ular trips to Kelton and Corrinn'
Utah, the miners and teamsters, VIII
by the way, were genial and jovial Sc
OF men, depleted their exchequer, an
placed their teams. wagons and othe,
personal property in 'soak," and in th
families of these mon there often ex
listed dire distress and much suffering
Another thing existed that was {:
source of hard times. Owing to lacl
of transportation facilities, while plent.
existed in ono Of. these communities 2
dearth was In progress in another com
| munity. During all these years, moth
ing that could be called genuine pros
perity existed. People in those days
were very similar to the people nova
days. While they had plenty, the!
spent much in high living, and when
period of depression stole upon them
they were without money, and ran int
debt. We look at the substantial PEG
pie who populate these valleys, ant
hear Of the good times that were, ant
actually believe these stories. Well, t.
q certain extent they are facts. Blu
ask these men how their wealth wa
created, and their answer win be, W.
saved our money when wealth was her
and put it into property. When tn
railroads came, and brought with then
much. people who settled upon thes'
broad acres, the value of our propertie
increased, and now We are independ
emily wealthy. Now the railroads di'
not produce hard times, by exorbitan
chaEges for freight and passenger tran
portation. They made it possible TO
these valleys and plains to be settles
up. They created markets for on
products. They built up towns
While it may be possible to decrease
the charges for freight transportation
by Legislative enactment, it is marrow

HE TERRIBLE calamity that befel
the people around lake Superior, as
chrOnicleu in our last issue is one of
the most pitiful that ever ap-
peared in print. Strong, statwart men,
faithful, loving mothers, weak ard
tender babes and children, all persisted
in that mighty wave of smoke and
flame. Nothing could restrain or
check the ruin and desolation, man
or beast in their strength were i'm
potent to save. Homes were destroyed
and the work of years wiped from the
earth in a second, and before that
mighty tempest of fame, all was lost.
IT HAS been demonstrated beyond q
doubt that Canyon county can pro-
duce more and better prunes to the
acre than any county in any other state
in the union. She can produce larger
German prunes than those of Germany.
In 1893 26: 2l4,l12 pounds of plums and
prunes were imported into this country
an increase of something like l5,OOO,-
GOO pounds over the imports of 1892.
A one cent per pound reduction was
made on plums and prunes by the tar
if bill. This mean a cent a pound
taken from the prune raisers of the
state. 1t is also tax on their produc-
ton in this county.
IT HAS BEEN stated on the street
that a wagon bridge will be built
across Snake river, connecting Owyhee
and Canyon counties. Further, it was
stated that GEORGE NEWELL, of the
Snake river hop farm is behind the en-.
terprise. The plan is feasible. II
would be paying investment. The
only wonder to US has been that it has
never been thought of before. If there
is any truth in the matter we hope our
business men will give him encourage
ment substantial in character.
LET EVERY protectionist be consist
ent and patronize home industry; let
them be patriotic and respect the
home product. If they are presented
foreign and domestic products, let them
always purchase the latter.

Tit For Tat.

In q small village up the river there is
man who makes his living by catching
the floating wood outof the river, drying
it and selling it for various purposes
Some time ago he caught an extraordi-
narily large log. which was too thick for
him to chop with his Ak. He went to the
owner of sawmiil, one of the influen-
tial men of the town, and requested the
loan of his crosscut saw.
mo" said the mill owner, Il won't
loan my saw to be dulled." But ] can
sharpen it again if | dull it," persisted
the man. Dut the saw was refused, and
the wood gatherer was compelled to use
his ak upon the big log. Some time aft
er this an ice gorge came down the river
end carried away section of the bridge
that crossed to the railroad station on
the other side. 1t was necessary for the
sawmill owner to catch certain train
that day to get to the city so us to make
connection for New York.
He went to the bridge, and finding it
impossible looked abont for a skiff. The
only one on that side of the stream be
longed to the old wood gatherer.

him / want the key to his skiff, said the
mill owner to his coachman, who was
carrying his valise.
The coachman returned in short
time with the wood gatherer in tow.

the old man.
why, I'm in a hurry and want youl

tent reply.
"You do. do your retorted the wooc

In order to make it possible that the
parent, the teacher, the physician, the
minister, the merchant, may know how
to treat the child, it is necessary that
the child be studied. analysed
logued. one might say. Ii seems to me
that the best way to do this is to train
young men and young women in our
colleges and schools in the study Of the
child, and SO send out number of peo-
ple into the various walks of life who
can get ..into'' the life of the child. If
this study is scientifically and properly
carried on. there is no doubt in my
mind but that it will revolutIonize all
the present methods of approach to the
child. predict that some of my read
ers will live long enough to wonder how
it was possible for colleges and uniyer-
sites to have existed so long. and to
have differentiated so many departments
of study, and yet to have waited almost
