Work was scarce and wages were lONf.
Yet the honest and industhrious Burns
toiled on and Master Wilfrida Lauriers
grew fair and fat. Il
One day it occurred to the worthy
couple to writ letter to the great man
after whom they had named their child.
It was heavy task for poor Burns, ac-s
ctistomed more to the grasp OF the
|ploug-handle than that OF the pen. Many
were the letters written before one was
found worthy of dispatch. Finally It
was finished, and Burns wiped the per-
spiration from his fnrrowed brow and
sighed in relief. 1t was the hardest days
work he had done in many long year.
The contents of the letter were simple
enough. The story OF Baby Burns.
birth and baptism were told in simple
language, and the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier,s
Premier of Canada, was respectfully M
formed that the baby had been named
after him, at which it was humbly hoped
that he would take no offense. Then, by
way of postscript, it was added that the
Burns were poor but proud of the priyil-..
eye of naming their eighth child after the
greatest of Canadian statesmen.
The answer was prompt. The Hon. b
Wilfrid Laurier rendered his compile
ments to Wilfrid Laurier Burns, wished
him long and happy life, and promised
to remember his dad.

A few days ago Daddy Burns received
official information from Ottawa Of his

last sticks can be left closed unless the
fair blue eyes of the owner care to rest
upon them. Otherwise they can be
kept secret from the prying gaze of the

1t is said that this fan cost $4,000 for
the paintings alone, $4,000 for the per-
fectly matched ivory and $4,000 for
the setting Of gold and diamonds and
turquoise. This would make the fan

prune can be grown in the South

American states for prices that are
ruinous in this country where the
drying process is accomplished
only by the use of expensive kiln,.
In these competing districts this
staple fable fruit is cured by the
nutural heat of the sun This
fruit is inferior, but our superior
product is so abundant that the
effect is direct competition with
fruit that can be sold for three
cents pound in Chicago. The
Dingley bill will insure a remun-
erative price for all dried fruits.
The market for green fruits was
demoralized by the financial dis.
turbances of the past few years.
This commodity suffered more than
the purely staple crops of the coun-
try. In this valley the green fruit
market was ruined. The country
crops Of wheat we've not remunera-
tive l., this district upon which the
Lewiston valley fruit growers de-
pended for a market during the
period of depression. Being left
without a good market the fruit
business YVES neglected during the
hard times The natural pests had
been unknown in the early or,
chards of the valley. After de-
pressed prices discouraged the fruit
growers the pests spread rapidly
until quality and quantity of the
orchard products were reduced and
inferior. There has been a revival
from the low ebb, and the fruit
business promises great rewards
again. The wheat farmers have
bright prospects, and the mines Of
the Clearwater basin are attracting
the attention of the world as they
never did before. There will be a
great city in the Seven Devils dis
trict, another at Florence and still
another at Pierce. This assures
for the Lewiston valley market
for green fruit. The experience
of the past assures the crop; and
the market at our doors makes our
crops the richest harvest in the
world. Our apples, pears, peaches.
cherries and grapes have been prize
fruits in every competition exhibit
ton. When quality assures mar
ket for them in every northwestern
and northern city aside from the
home demand Our apples have
gone to New Orleans and to Eng
land and every shipment opened a
new market for our products. The
fruits of this valley are rich in
flavor and they are so perfect IN
texture that they are slow to decay.
This quality prolongs the season
of their use to such an extent that
| it often doubles their value. Idaho
apples sell for more than orang' S
in Chicago. The same may be
said of our Idaho pears and our
sweet cherries. 1t is not exaggera-
ton to say the fruit of an Idaho
orchard ia the future will be worth
more than the fruit of an orange
grove pound for pound and surely
the yield will be greater.
