Don't forget that Cottonwood is
the center of the great agricultural, !
mining, and timber and stock in
terests in Idaho county. Purchases
of all goods; tools, and merchandise,
feed; mining outfits, etc., can be
made as cheaply here as anywhere
outside of Portland or San Francis
CO.
Our farmers should beware of
smooth tongued travelling statesmen.
Unlike our home dealers, who are
reliable, they only care to sell. Its
a good deal like the "Home Com
fort Range" scheme, where you pay
! dear for your whistle. Beware of
travelling fakits. Trade with your
home dealers and you can rely up
on honest treatment.
For the people to go into ecstaciesj
| or go wild, over any one man, as
they seem to have done At the con-
vention, when governor Roosevelt
entered the hall, seems foolish, and
shows too much of the man worship.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done no more
than many other Americans; and
he has been highly honored. While
he is worthy of the honors bestow-
ed UPON him, we think that this
thing of hero Worship has been car
fled too far. 1t is all wrong, it
smack too much of fawhing at the
feet of royalty.
The souvenir number Of the Nor
NAL Quarterly for June is upon our
table. 1t is illustrated with the
pictures of the main building and
dormitories, Science Department
laboratory Etc. 1t also gives the
pictures of the board of Trustees;
Faculty and graduating class. The
get up throughout is excellent, and
the printers art has made it indeed,
a souvenir edition to be proud of.
This school should have ample
support and encouragement as the
good work done within it's walls is
widespread and of the greatest bene-
fit to the rising generation within
bur state and the benefits of the
careful training of those who have
the care of our children cannot be
estimated.
1t is the opinion of a German
oculist that the use of ordinary
states by school children tends to
produce short sightedness. As a
substitute he recommends pen and
ink or an artificial white slate, with
black pencil. The latter have been
introduced in some of the German
schools.
