With the advance of civiliza-
tion the attention of thoughtful
men and women is being direct
ed more and more to the effects
of surrounding influences. The
refinement and social status of
community, town, or city may be
judged with correctness by the
roads, streets, homes, churches
and school houses which the
people have constructed.
In line with the legislation en-
acted by the State of Idaho re-
lating to the subject, l hereby
proclaim Friday, the Sth day of
May. a legal holiday, and sug-
gest that the children ofour pub
lie schools be assembled on that
occasion and allowed to assist in
the planting of trees and for the
decoration of their school ground
and such other exercises as those
in charge of our public schools
may deem proper.

At a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Idaho Immigra
ton Association, held immediate |
ly after the adjournment of the
immigration Convention at Boise |
April 4, 1896, for the purpose of
obtaining the sense of the sever
al Vice-Presidents, the following
informal assessments were ap-
portioned to the different coun-
ties, based upon their respective
populations for 1895, as estimat-
ed by Secretary of State Gar
rett Ada, $1,000; Bannock.
800; Bingham, $500; Boise, S4OO;
Blaine, $500; Canyon, $500; Cas-
STA, $500; Custer, 5000; BearLake,
800; Elmore, $500; Fremont,
800; Idaho, $500; Kootenai, 500;
Latah, 81, 400; Lemhi, 300; Lin
coin, 5000; Nez Perez, $500; On
eida, 500; Owyhee, $500; Sho-
shone, $500; Washington, $500.
Total, $4,000.
The Secretary was instructed
to communicate with the several
ce-Presidents and urge upon
them the Importance of raising
this money. Believing that the
people who have the good of the
State at heart will respond lib
orally to this appeal, the Execu-
tive Committee has gone resolu-
tely to work to make Idaho
known to the outside world. It
is hoped and believed that at
least SO, 600 can be secured for
carrying on the work for the
current year, and it is expected
that the service then will be so
far advanced and the benefits so
apparent that the Legislature
will give the Association official
recognition and make an appro-
priation for its continuance.
Whereas it was made the duty
of the Executive Committee to
direct the work of the Associa-
ton, it was decided:
| First. That the Vice rasi-
dents. one of whom resides in
each county, be urged to call i'm
mediately convention in their
respective counties, to be COM
posed of at least two delegates
from each precinct levery resi-
dent being cordially invited), to-
gether with members Of the
county press, for the purpose Of
forming county association.
Second. That after perfect
ing the county organization a
soliciting committee shall be ap-
pointed-and this being move
ment in which every resident OF
the State, regardless of political
faith or religious creed, can IN
lite, that they urgently request
every one of whatever trade or
profession to become a member
of the county organization A
membership fee CT one dollar,
more or less, may be fixed at the
discretion of the associations.
Third. Whereas, intending
isettlers viii be invited to call on
the secretaries of the county
associations for information, they
are requested to procure a land
register in which shall be record
ed the name of the owner. loca-
ton, description and price of al
lands for sale in the county, and
in whose hands the same may be
found for sale. A listing fee OF
one dollar shall be charged fol
each 80 acres or fraction thereof

nevertheless, true that some
people in the midst of our silver
and gold bearing countries do
not know the significance of 10
to / when applied to coinage.
Other countries have rendered
their opinions so far from the
mark that we take this pains so
that no reader of the MESSEN-
GER shall present himself or
herself at such a ludicrous dis
advantage. This expression
means that we are advocates of
the coming of silver and gold in
such quantities as may be
brought to our minis at the rate
of sixteen ounces of silver to one
ounce of gold, or sixteen times
the weight of silver that we put
in gold for a dollar-all to be a
legal tender for every use. This
is very nearly what has always
been the rule in our minting, and
is what our Constitution contem-
plates; and is our right-today-
under the organic act of our ma
ton, as citizens of the United
States. OF course, we are aware
of the adverse decision of the
| Court on this point; but we wish
to say to our readers that we
propose to have a Court that will
follow the highest law and not
bow to the dictates of a political
ring of understandable men. A
little time will regulate this mat
ter. The American people are
going to do the regulating act
never fear.
While we say other countries
lack understanding we will give
our readers an illustration. AS
one of our western young ladies
was travelling to the Worlds
Fair on the cars, the question
arose among the New England
passengers as to the significance
of IS to 1. OF course there was
professor aboard who knew all
about it. So, in kindness, he ex-
planned to them that it meant
that these scheming silver bar
rons had sixteen dollars of silver
in circulation to one of gold now,
and they were not satisfied with
that; they wanted twenty-five
dollars of silver to one of gold.
While the truth is that the last
thrust of these wiseacres at sill
yer, gold and silver were nearly
equal. At this day, gold has the
preponderence. The joke was
so good that our bright western
lass, with all her reverence fer
eastern superiority (?) had to re-
late the affair.
Mining and minting are little
understood by what we western
people call 1.-The COW countries. .
BY this we mean the agricultural
and manufacturing countries.
We remember well when the
English company had had coun-
Gil as to purchasing the General
Custer mill and mines of j. B.
Haggin & Co. We read the re-
port. They talked as if the more
ground they got. the more thous-
ands or millions of dollars they
would have; while the fact is,
that if they had got million
acres of some of the grounds
they purchased. they still would
never have been able to get q
dollar of profit out of tiff there
was dollar in it. One English
man who was interested in some
purchases of our mines wanted
to know how much this lan6
would produce to the acre. II
is little wonder that Rothschilds
and Wall Street, and Sherman
and least and last, Cleveland, cal
deceive people who know nc
! more about these matters. Blu
we will just say to close this ar
ticle Sixteen to One is coming
more than forty million strong
While Shylocks stand aghast-
: let the people move along.

In a neat little white painted house
up in Maine a baby's gold ring hangs
upon the wall, tied with bit of ribbon
The owner. an Irishman. a humorous
scion of his race. when interro@ated
about ii told the following story: While

accidentally dropped the ring out OF
his pocket, and, slipping OF the edge OF
the boat. IL sank down through the
clear water. As he watched n disap-
pearing a large fish Garted through the
water. and. opening his mouth gulPed
it. down. The Irishman sadly lamented
the loss OF the ring. as IL belonged to his
little baby. He resolved 10 iiSh that
lake until he found the raScally thief.
and day after day he hauled in tine
shiny. struggling members OF the finny
tribe and cut them open in search OF
his ring. Weeks went by. and grew
into months. until the cold weather ar
rived, but with a fisherman's patience
he continued in his task, even TO cut
ting holes III the ice TO fish through
One day after n severe and long-Pro-
tracted struggle he hauled IN fine
fish. and some intuitive instinct told
him he had at last caught the thi'f.
which, on cutting him open. proved to
be the case.-IIarper's Round Table

NIGHTFALL ON THE FARM

Upon the porch at even
We two together stood.
And listened to the tinkle
OF sheep-beils in the wood
The locust trees bent DER US,
White blossoms dropping down.
And, fringed with flowers, before us
The path lay bare and brown
We heard the sheep-beils music
Far off and dreamy grow:
We saw the white flowers sprinkle
The lawn like fiecks of snow:
The roses drew back shyly
Into the silent dark,
But though their haunts were shaded
Their perfume we could mark
Up in a locust's branches
a little bird said ''cheep"-
Twas all that broke the silence;
The whole world seemed asleep.
Good night" she said Il love you!"
said. She did not speak
But swift she leaned toward me
With tears upon her cheek.
