A STRAY THOUGHT.

Once on time in China very
serious contagration occurred and
incidentally great number of pigs
were roasted. In removing the re-
mains one Of the Cinnamon burned
his fingers, and, as usual in such
cases, put them in his mouth to get
relief The taste of the roasted
swine was so agreeable that an imme-
date assault was made on the ruins
and n general feast of roast pig fol-
lowed, and the craze finally took such
possession of the people that all over
the land they commenced burning
down their habtations in order to
supply the demand for roast PIC.
All this happened very many moons
ago and is the only credible account
of the origin of this luxury, and quite
time elapsed before a more econom-
ical manner of preparing it was dis
covered. This account is from the
writings of Wun Lung, a celebrated
philosopher OF China. The above
also shows how good can come from
things evil, and we have an instance
of this here in Weiser. Soon after
the late fire parties were busy hauling
away the concrete debris and building
walks with it, and white streaks are
numerous in all parts of town, but as
the supply is somewhat limited it will
be necessary to have another fire very
soon, as the new walks are very pop
ular with all classes, and even the
quadrupeds take to them kindly.

get it herself then, she may in the

A POSSIBILITY.

That the two counties OF Washing
ton and Idaho may in the near future
become the most thickly populated
portion of the state, is not only a
possibility, but there are good reasons
for regarding this as a strong proba-
bility. Idaho county has immense
tracts of fertile land adapted to raising
all cereals and hay without irrigation
and for stock and dairy purposes; also
immense bodies of timber, together
with unbounded mineral resources.
both in prescious and useful metals
Washington county possesses "a differ
ent class of resources; chiefly in its
ability to produce a more varied class
OF products, such as require a milder
climate and are more proGtably raised
with irrigation, and its wonderful
adoption to fruit growing. In timber
anu nlHcIul Jne resources are very
equal and both counties are teeminp
with water powers yet running to
wanton waste. These advantages can
not much longer remain unnoticed, for
with a ira%tion of them utilized these
two counties would be in position to
exchange products and become AS
self-sustaining as any localities on
earth Npt q factor is wanting to
make them Independent, and strong
pail together IN the right direction
would do much to hasten the desired
end. The great natural highway for
the future commerce of the state
must pass through them, and truly
there is no time like the present for
action.
