De opened up by railroad construction
is the Clearwater region of the Idaho
panhandle. Even in Portland, which
Will handle the trade of the section
thus to be brought under developing
agencies, there is small conception of
the industrial value of that land of pro-
mise. 1t includes the only considerable
area OF farming land in the Northwes
that has no railroad communication
with markets, and the hills that bound
the fertile plain are shot with metals
and covered with timber. 1t is a coun-
try that ought not to be neglected.
Wheat in abundance can be raised
there, and other farm crops also thrive
Orchards do well there. Herds and
t1ocks find rich pasturage at any sea-
son of the year, ranging from river
strand to mountain peak. Irrigation is
never necessary. The land is we'll wa
tered by streams, and the climate is
healthful.
IF the railroad construction planned
for the Clearwater country shall not all
materialze, there is practical certainty
that trains will be running across the
Nez Perces reservation lands and Ca
mas prairie before the end Of the pres
ent year, penetrating virgin country,
capable of the highest general develop
ment. Portland is the natural center
to which it's commerce will gravitate."
The Alton and Northwestern have
thrown down the gauntlet to the Santa
Fe by declaring that they will make as
low rates as the former to teachers
who want to go to the meeting of the
National Educational association at
Los Angeles in July, returning via
Portland. The Santa Fe went on re-
cord some time ago as offering to make
its rates lower by S. than those of other
lines to teachers going via Portland

notified the other Western roads that
it would demand an arbitrary rate of
SIS for every teacher returning from
Portland to the East via Ogden. The
Santa F'e, having its own rails to Los
Angeles, is well prepared for a rate
war with the other roads, and if the
teachers skillfully foment the strife the
railroads may be ready by July not
only to carry them to Los Angeles and
back free of charge, but pay them for
going.

In the larger cities OF Russia there
is no limit to the speed at which a
horse may be driven through the pub
lie streets. The typical harness horse
is the Orloff, a breed founded by Count
Orlon- Chemenski, being a cross be-
tween the Arabian stallion Smetanka
and imported mares, principally Eng
Ish.
An average roadster is 1G hands high
and weighs LOO pounds, with heavy
name, a bushy tail that reaches nearly
to the ground and "iron" limbs that
show great muscular development.
The favorite color is gray. Such an
animal is driven through the principal
streets Of st. Petersburg at a furious
pace, that portion near the center and
beside the surface car tracks being re-
served for fast driving.
During the winter months teams Of
two and three abreast are driven to
slelghs at a three minute gait. There
is racing all winter, the courses being
flooded at night to provide three inches
Of solid ice. American pneumatic sui
kies, harness, boots, gaiting appli-
ances, etc, are In general use.

When a man is tired, he stretches his
arms and legs and yawns. Birds aud
animals, so far as possible, follow his
example.
Birds spread their feathers and also
yawn, or cape. Fowls often do this.
Fish yawn; they open their mouths
slowly until they are round, the bones
Of the head seem to loosen, and the
gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless
they have a cold. Cats are always
stretching their bodies, legs and claws,
as every one knows who has a cat for
a pet
Horses stretch violently when and
after indulging In a roll, but not, as a
rule, on all tours.
A stag when stretching sticks out his
head, stretches his fore feet out and
hollows his back and neck as though
trying to creep under a bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer
do It regularly; 80 do cows. This fact
Is so well known that II a cow, when
arising from lying down, does not
stretch herself it is a sign she is IN.
The reason FOR this Is plaln-the
stretch moves every muscle Of the
body and II there be any injury any
where IL hurts.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Memphis Sclmitar tells Of a re-

she was keeping an itemized account
Of the household expenses. In looking
1t over one day he noticed at the bot
tom Of each page or two the letters
I'D. X. w" This somewhat puzzled
him. He really found 1t very difficult
to keep from thinking about what
these letters could possibly mean. It
occurred to him that possibly his wife
was saving out some money to buy
something for him. But then he knew
that his initials were not ID. K. W."

solution to the matter.
