Win Change the River.

A regular little town of tents has
grown up just across the Boise river
during the week. The cause of the
mushroom village is the camping of the
grading outfit of Mcdonald and Kesl
of Nampa, during the cutting of a new
river channel. The o. S. L. some three
years ago put handsome suspension
bridge across the Boise river and
thought to change the course of that
noble stream. But she is a wilfuI old
stream and baked every attempt of the
railroad to change her course.
A little over two years ago a dam
was placed across the river and it was
attempted to make the river change
her channel, But she resisted. Now.
new bed will be cut out from the
wagon bridge down to the railroad
bridge, and the company will force the
river down the channel, and to this end
has employed a large force of men.
We understand that teams are in de.
mand to help expedite the work.
Hope the o. S. L. will be successful
this time.

AVOID ALUM BAKING POWDERS
Their Use is Dangerous to Health.

The condemnation of alum as an un
wholesome ingredient in baking pow,
ders by the Government authorities as
well as by the Iowa and Minnesota
State Boards of Health and physicians
generally, has not deferred manufact-
erers of such powders from foistiag
them on the public. Following is a
partial list of the condemned alum
powders found in the stores III this
section:
K.C. Washington.
Griffin. Crescent.
Calumet. Adams Rest.
Economy. Empress.
1t is safe to reject all brands sold
with prize. N!l powders sold at
twenty-five Or less pound are sure to
be made of alum. DR.. Wiley, the
Government Chemist. in his official
examination of baking powders at the
Worlds Fair, threw out all "alum pow
ders," chasing them rs unit for hu-
man food.
But the Worlds Fair could approve
as well as condemn. After the most
elaborate tasts, 1t bestowed the high
est award for purity, leavening power,
keeping qualities aud general excel
lence on DR.. Prices Cream Baking

The Farmer Lnd,s Room.

'Be sure to allow the big boy of the
family to say just how he wants his
room." writes Mrs. John b. Sims in an
article on "The Sleeping Room on the
Farm" DO not make the mistake Of
putting the boy off with just any old
thing; many boys life has been made
miserable by constant migration from
one sleeping place to another, winding up
with bed on the floor just to make room
for some more important member of the
household. Give him a room of his own,
and do not ask him to leave it. The fur
niture in one boys room whom | know is
old oak; the old-fashioned lounge is COW
cred with figured cretonne in brown and
gold; the big easy chair matches it. The
windows have draped curtains of Japan
ese art cloth in dull red and gold; even
the floor covering corresponds. One may
be sure that this boy has bonnie brown
hair and eyes, with cheeks like the sunny
side of fall peach. That he is orderly
we can tell from the arrangement of his
collars and neckties in the top drawer OF
his dresser; that he loves pictures, from
the small reproductions of the good ones
which adorn the walls. His grandfather
sword and his grandfather's picture
taken with the drum which beat time for
marching feet in 1912, serve as constant
reminders to him of his duty TO his home
and country, and unconsciously he tries
to live up to his heroes"

New York, Jan. "A dispatch to the
World from Havana says;
Captain Eaton, of the auxiliary cruiser
Resolute, captured a 20-foot Spanish flag
in the harbor and incidentally taught the
city Spaniards a lesson in manners. a
Spanish schooner of about 20 tons sailed
alongside the Resolute, where it hove to.
and with cheer of defiance from the men
aboard an immense Spanish flag was
raised to the masthead, with the Cuban
beneath it. Captain Eaton was forced to
recognize the insult and ordered Naval
Cadet Warrant and Marine Officer Thorpe
with file of marines, into steam launch
which speedily overlook the Spaniard. The
captain refused to obey the order to lower
the flag, whereupon the marines went
aboard and took forcible possession of the
Spanish flag, leaving the Cuban flag fly
ing at the masthead. The occupants o.
the schooner were then compelled to give
three cheers for the Cuban and American
flags, after which the vessel was allowed
to proceed. The captured flag will be helC
as prize.

Spokane's Poultry show.

Tuesday morning the fourth annual
poultry show of the Spokane Poultry As
ISOLATION opened to the public, and at 10
a. m. the sixth annual convention of the
Northwest Fruit Growers Association was
called to order by President N. G. Blalock.
The poultry show will be open all week.
while the horticulturists will be in session
for three days. 1t is expected that the
poultry show will be by far the most sue
cessful ever held in Spokane, or even III
the northwest, while the meeting of the
horticultural association promises to be
more largely attended and more instruc-
tive than any of the five that have pre-
coded it. The fact that both are being
held in Spokane at the same time will do
much to increase the attendance of each.

The movement TO discontinue the

for pride when the first gun of the war
fired by this country was across the
bows of a peaceful lumberman whose

hostilitles had been declared. We were

The increase of German and Ameri-
can exports and n corresponding de-
crease in British foreign trade is giving
the merchants and manufacturers of
Great Britain no little anxiety. This
increase was accounted for in various
ways-by the scientific and technical
training of the German schools and the
enormous advantage the United States
enjoys in manufacturing facilities. due
to improved machinery, progressive
methods, etc. These factors undoubt-
edly contributed to the result, but still
another reason was adduced by the
British merchant and manufacturer
the greater activity. intelligence and
wde-awakeness of German and Amer
lean consuls and commercial travellers.
This also may have something to do
with the decrease in exports of Great
Britain from 100000 in 1891 to
1884 100000 in 1897, while in the same
period those of Germany increased
from f176000,000 to f197 ,000, 900 and
those of the United States rose from
f1S4 100000 to f21S.OO0,0O0. But the
English consuls thus attacked have re-
piled and in turn have given their ac-
cusers something to think of. These
avant couriers of commerce say the
trouble arises largely from the meth
DDS employed by the British merchant.
Accustomed to monopoly of trade he
makes no effort TO secure it except upon
his own terms. He scatters beautiful
ly illustrated catalogues, but they are
in his own language. the prices are in
his own currency, and rarely include
the cost of freight, duty and delivery
to the purchasers own port or station.
His commercial travellers often speak
no language but their own and the mer-
chant or manufacturer does not seek
TO cater to the tastes or whims of his
customers by the fashion of his prod
ucts or the manner of the packing. In
! short, the cOnsuls affirm that it is the
British merchant and not himself that
is to blame and that the manufactures
has gone alseep, 'lulled by the still
potent opiate of a vanished monopoly. -
AS respects Canadian trade, even with
the great advantage of preferential du.
ties the British exporter Is scarcely
holding his own. American imports OF
