LEFT ON AN ISLAND"

Apropos Of being left On an island
without a boat" they tell story of
two old fellows, way down IN Maine,
who lived and were noted characters,
years before the Maine law was heard
of. These two old worthless lived ut
the "Head Of the Bay" at that time
a sparsely settled community about
eight or ten miles from Castlne, which
was at the mouth of the river aud was
the "base of supplies" for the coun-
try round about.
The old chaps. being neighbors,
usually made their trips to Castinc
for supplies, together and 10 a boat.
On one occasion as thev were return
ing pretty well loaded, a large part Of
their cargo however being contained
within their own bodies and the bal
ance In q capacious jug, they became
wearied with rowing, and coming to q
huge rock in the stream, whose sur
face was exposed at half-tide, they
proposed to rest for q time; so they
landed and taking the jug with them,
proceeded to transfer some more Med
ford rum down their throats. After
Q while they got to quarrelling, aud
then to fighting. The surface of the
exposed rock was small and it was for
the best man to win. Soon Ed got the
better Of John and was chasing him
about the narrow confines of the ISL
and. But Ed In his haste aud rage,
stumbled and fell and John seeing his
chance, pushed of the boat and jump.
Ing In, hastily rowed out of reach Of
the stones Ed was by this time throw.
ing, and then, as he leisurly rowed
away, tainted Ed with being "left on
an island" where the tide would be
up to his neck In a few hours. Ed
stormed and prayed but old Johnny
was obdurate and kept rowing away,
until happy thought seized Ed. He
saw the jug, yet more than half-full;
Selling 1t, he waved it high IN the air,
and yelled to his departing companion,
who's got the jug Johnny! Who's
got the jug?" Needless to add the
sequel. Only, as Johnny came near
the rock on his return, he said, hum.
bly,. "Say Ned, ! was only foolln."

w. c. T. U.

Temperance people will be pleased
to learn that Miss Francis Willard
who Is now in England for rest and
recuperation is rapidly rcgaining
strength. The effects of the strain
of years Of work and anxiety would
long ago have borne down a stronger
physique than hers. The following
extracts from her address to the An.
nual w. CT. U. convention are gems:
1.-THE total abstinence pledge is but
one strand in the caDle Of our organic.
ed endeavor, for we have seen that to
make man as God would have him
be, the student Of perfection must
study his heredity, must hover like an

desk ut school. his happy playground,
his thoughtless and endangered youth,
his tempted manhood, and must guard
not only against beginnings of i'll 10
his own separate career, but their Or

I once asked the greatest of inven.

have women kept In condition of

as q parasite? Nothing proves more
conclusively the wretched nonsense of
the conservative position on the "No-

expression as "strong. minded" should
have become synonym of reproach.
It is the offset of "weak-minded,"
and to be weak-minded Is the great

ONWARD is THE WORD.

1t is pleasing to note the interest
that many ofour people are taking in
planting fruit trees. Reports show
that several thousand trees will be
planted this coming spring, and
with the completion of the Longtom
reservoir we may reasonably expect
to behold a transformation scene
which will be most pleasing to those
OF us who have been struggling with
the vicissitudes Of a new and un-
developed country. Our soil and
our climate are well adapted TO fruit
growing. Our exhibit at the Worlds
Columbian Exhibition attracted
much attention. The wonderful
development and rich flavor Of our
fruits astonished many who had
heretofore supposed Idaho to be a
barren country, only fit for sheep
and cattle raising. The largest APP
pies and potatoes, prunes. pears,
plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines
and grapes equal to any the world
produced were seen at the Idaho
exhibit. There is not a question
but what hops, sweet potatoes and
peanuts would be profitable crops
here. Sugar beets make a wonder
full growth. Berries of all kinds
yield prolificly. An ordinary profit
from five year old prune orchard
is from $500 to $500 per acre,
Three and four crops of alfalfa are
cut each season, upon which thou
sands of cattle are fattened for east
ern markets. Hundreds of thou
sands of sheep roam over our almost
endless ranges, and we have every
reason to believe that the future OF
Gilmore county and all Idaho will
be all one could reasonably expect
or ask for.

FROM coon OLD ROCKY nAR.

EDITOR BULLETIN All here have
enjoyed themselves hugely during the
holidays. On the night Of December
18th and also January LIST very en-
loyable dance was given at the store
house OF Henry Swanholm. About %
couple were present each night, a
number Of visitors from Atlsata. Pine
Grove, Bonaparte and Red Warrior
being in attendance. Splendid music
was furnished by G. l.. Hopkins, G..
nj. Nicholson and Henr, Howard.
This has been the happiest Christmas
and New Year, socially, that has been
experienced here for years.
Mining Is not very brisk in this sec
tion---only few small companies at
work this winter. The Vishnu leasers
are taking out considerable ere and
their l5-stamp mill is pounding away
day and night. Fred Davis and Billy
Daniels are taking out ore from the
Hard Up" on Red Warrior hill. Jas.
Hartwell and JAS. Mundell are also
getting some good ore from the Wide
West mine. Adam Got.ch and Gid
Campbell are also doing well in their
mines.
The Howard boys. Bob lyman, Gus
Beal, Ollie Lawson and Henry Irwin,
all OF Bonaparte. are doing consider
able work this winter, and the indica-
tions are that Old Bonaparte will soon
come TO the front as big gold pro-
ducing camp.
The Ida Gold Limited is not worked
at present, but il would not surprise
some people here il it commences OPP
erations early in the spring.
The Bear Creek Flume Co. is pre-
pairing to do an immense business.
just AS soon as possible they will cut
an Smile dicth frocl the head of Bear
creek to Trinity lakes. All in all, this
part of the country will certainly have
boom at no distant day.
We have had very fine winter 80
far-the coolest weather only deg
below zero. The snow at present is
just 81 inches on the level. Our mail
arrives and departs regularly. Johnny
Annrean carries the mail from here 10
Atlanta on snowshoes. But as John
is a good snowshoe engineer he has nc
| trouble.
Miss Andreas, from Pine, has been
visiting here for two or three weeks
She thinks OF returning som, but there
are some young men here who think
it Is very unsafe for her to start on &C.
count Of danger from snowslides.
Mrs. John Van Setback has gone Ia
Mountain Home to join John. She
says il the Commissioners can do any
thing at this session toward removing
the tariff from wool she wants to be
near John.
As to politics, everything is lovely
Not mucn excitement over anything
except the coming city election. Col
Reeser, I think, has the inside TRACK
for mayor, though the friends of Boil
Brainard say they will carry the first
and fourth wards.
A son was born on New Years day
to Mr.. and Mrs. +. o. Abbott. The
mother and child are doing well, and

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.

The following from our esteemed
Atlanta correspondent arrived here
too late to appear last week;
ATLANTA, Dec. 81.
Although your correspondent is
about pegged out, owing to the fact
that he has been up two successive
nights attending dances, yet he will
try and do the good people of the
camp justice by letting the outside
world know of their energy and
pluck in trying TO please the little
folks on Christmas.
Miss Carrie Wootan and Miss
Cora Butler deserve much of the
credit, as they went around and
found inauy generous subscribers
and had no trouble in raising q
goodly sum OF money for the pur-
chase of presents for a public tree.
Miss Ada Wootan and Mrs. Geo.
Butler then took the matter in hand
and by the aid Of many generous
helpers decorated the Davis hall in
way that was simply magnificent,
and in the center erected the tree,
which was soon loaded with pretty
presents for the children of the
camp.
Mr.. John Goodyear secured and
paid for the music for the occasion,
and therefore it was given free to all.
Santa Claus, dear old fellow. was
on. hand and by 8 o'clock had dis
tributed all the presents, and i'm
mediately after his departure a
splendid supper was served free OF
charge to everybody.
At $50 a grand ball was in pro-
gress. which lasted until an early
hour Tuesday morning, and alto
gether it was a grand affair.
| But that is not all. Many of our
good people considered that another
dance on the following night would
not be at all out of place, and Sc
lected Charles Gaetz as manager al
the Casey hall--the altitude being
a trifie better at that hall. Every
body went and enjoyed themselves
and not only danced until daylight
but enjoyed a splendid supper
equally as good as the night before
Your correspondent played .

the fact that he. furnished tn,

MONEY IN Hors.

There lie every reason to believe
that the lands Of this section Of Ida
no will produce the very best OF
hops. They arc n valuable crop
and in this climate hops could be
gathered and cured without any
danger Of being damaged by rain,
which frequently occurs in WASH
ington and Oregon. Rain has the
same effect on hops, we are told,
that it has on hay-reduce their
strength and destroys their flavor.
Numerous experiments in hop cul-
ture will probably be made in this
section next season, and, il success
full. land here will become valuable
indeed. In parts Of the State of
Washington land that is in hops is
valued at $500 an acre and upwards.
Hops are usually planted in rows,
six feet apart each way. Only a
small yield is expected the first
season, but crop Of potatoes or
other vegetables can be raised be-
tween the rows. The few hops now
grown in this State, over bedroom
windows and back porches are said
to be far superior to Washington
hops, possessing greater strength
and exquisite flavor. Even during
the calamity year of 1898 the best
hops commanded from Is 10 20 cts
per pound. Should not our farmers
be encouraged to try hop planting
for revenue?
