Boise, Idaho, Aug. 3o.-The local
water company has sued the city for $40, )
723 for water used for street sprinkling
purposes. basing the charge at the rate
OF I2H cents per 1000 gallons. The suit
is brought in the federal court the COM
pany having reincorporated under the
laws of West Virginia recently to enable
it to 60 into that court.
The state law provided that water for
public necessities shall be furnished free

Idaho Gains Four Millions.

State Auditor Jones announces that
the total valuation Of the state by coun
ties, after the changes made. by the board
is $SI,4aS,oo3.Iy, as against $47,A5I,-
1885 last year, and gain Of about four
millions of dollars. This includes the
valuation Of the railroad. etc. The rail-
road valuation was increased from S.
8e3,4Is last year to $o,o6I, 49,; aud the
telephones from SIS, 100 IS to $lo6, 33S.75.
The telegraph valuation is little less,
being $84,6o2.68 in 1900 and fS4.46o 80
in 1901. The auditor states that there
will be no more revenue required to run
the state government, and it is expected
that the levy for state purposes will be
reduced considerably from that of last
year, when amount was 5,3 mills. A re.
duction Of the state tax in the different
counties will be appreciated by the pro-
perty owners. and will be good recom-
mendatiOn for the administration.

State Bond Delivered,

The state treasurer has received word
through the Bank of Commerce of Boise,
that the state bords recently sent east
have been delivered to the purchaser,

New York. The amount sent in the first
consignment was $50, ooo Another con-
signment of $61 900 will be sent today

Pullman Ordinary Sleepers.

The tourist travel between the east and
the Pacific coast has reached enormous
proportions in the last few years, and
calls for special class Of equipment To
meet this demand the Pullman company
has issued from its shops what it techni-
caily calls the pullman Ordinary Sleep
err" These cars appear similar to the
regular sleepers being built on the same
plan, but not furnished with the same
elegance. They are equipped with
mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillow cases,
towels, combs. brushes. etc., requiring
nothing Of the kind to be furnished by
the passenger. Each car has stove for
making tea and coffee and doing eight
housekeeping and each section can be
fitted with an adjustable table. A uni
formed porter accompanies each car, his
business being to make up berths, keep
the car clean, and look after the wants
and comforts Of the passengers. In each
of the trains which ard despatched daily
from Portland BY the O. r. & N. Co. is
to be found one Of these pullman Ortli-
nary Sleepers." The car attached to the
Chicago Portland Special" goes through
to Chicago without change, and the one
in the "Atlantic Express" runs to Kan
sas city without change. Passengers in
this car for Chicago change to similar
car at Granger.
Much of the FIRST class travel is being
carried in these cars. the rates being
lower, and the service nearly eqnal to
that in the palace sleepers.

A New World to Conquer.

Some interesting facts regarding the
great size and possibilities of our country
were brought out at one of the recent
hearings before the Committee on Irri.
CATION of Arid Lands. 1t is not usually
realized. especially by people in the
East, that an enormous area of our
country, six hundred million acres in
extent, lies unutilized. This is an area
larger than the whole of Europe, and big
enough to furnish land for dozen Old
World kingdoms. OF course good deal
of it is. and always will be, unfit for the
support Of large population. but with
proper management, it is destined to be-
come the home of thousands and even
millions of people.
This great tract lies entirely west Of
the Mississippi Valley and extends over
the Rocky Mountains, the Great Desert
and into California. Much of it at pres
ent is barren and desolate wilderness
with too scanty a rainfall to provide the
necessary moisture for any but the hard
lest vegetation. Irrigation is to effect
the change. Years IF successful ex-
perience in the artificial watering of land
has proved beyond doubt its wonderful
efficiency in certain portions of this arid
section. in California. in Colorado, and
elsewhere, SO that it is but question of
capital aud enterprise before the whole
large problem will be solved. Every
year sees an advance toward this desirable
end; the United States Geological Survey
terminating the flow Of the rivers, which
must be used for water supply, surveying
and estimating the cost Of dams and
reservoir, and pointing out past mistakes
and errors which may be avoided.
Close the minds eye a moment and
picture the accomplished result. Fifty
million people, added to the population
east Of the Missouri river, for this is the
number of inhabitants the present waste
lands are capable Of supporting. great
nation in itself; an agricultural com.
munity, changing desolation into fruit
full lands. creating constantly increas'
ing demaud on Eastern manufactures,
and taxing to the utmost the carrying
/ capacity of the great ans-continenta
railroad lines. 1t means . new and
bright era Of development for his
country.

In recent lecture, DR.. f. Benjami n
Andrews undertakes to analyze and de-
fine lie. "Veracity is not merely a
statement of facts" he says, "neither is
lie merely statement of what is not
true. bad intention is necessav to
constitute lack of veracity." This is
eminently comfortable from many points
of view and relieves ones conscience of
a load of society fibs--"white lies," so
called. But after all of DR.. Andrews

THE PRETTIEST WOMAN.
Who is Entitled to That DistinC.
 tion i'll Green Forest?

Whois the most beautiful wom- an in the town of Green Forest?
 The St. Louis Globe Democrat has instituted "St. Louis Worlds Fair Beauty Contest the object of which is to select the most beautiful woman residing in each state and territory compri sing the Louisiana Purchase and in or der to reach an intellegent decis- sion in the matter has decided to have selected by popular choice the prettiest woman in each town, who, when selected, will be entered into the contest for the distinction of the most beautiful woman in the state.
 In order to give the people of Green Forest and Hickory town ship a fair opportunity to select some lady to enter this contest, THE TRIBUNE will in a short time publish a blank ticket, or coupon, which may be filled out, one by each resident of the township, each making his or her choice as to who should have the distinc- tion of being the prettiest woman of the town, or township, for that matter, if they desire to go out side of the town.
 When the selection has been made, the winner will be asked to furnish the best photograph ob- talnable and furnish same to the Globe-Democrat and THE TRIB- UNE for publication. This photo- graph will also serve for the judgeswhom the Globe Democrat will select to determine who is the best looking lady in the state of Arkansas.
 This is no speculation scheme of either THE TRIBUNE or the Globe Democrat, but is a straight proposition and it is our purpose to make the contest absolutely fair in every respect. No one will be allowed to vote but once, each voter being required to sign his name to the ticket. ;si

Stormy Weather for April.

Rev. lrl R. Hicks, the great weather prophet, has made g pretty accurate prediction for April weather so far. His judg- ment on the remainder of the month is as follows:
 On and touching the 8th and 9th will fall a marked change to warmer, the barometer will react to lower readings and heavy April rains, hail and thunder will visit many sections in their gen. eral march from west to east. Barometer will rise rapidly be- hind these reactionary storms, bringing quite cool winds from west and north, and frosty nights in northern directions.
 The 18th to the 18th consti- tutes another regular storm period. The crises of this period will fall on or next to Monday the 10th about which date look for vicious electrical storms at- tended by hail, rain and danger ous winds. Low barometer, high temperature and daily paroxysms of wind and April downpours, will most probably continue.over the conjunction of moon and sun on the IS and into the reaction ary storm period on the 18th, 20th and 21st. While under ordinary circumstances only normal April showers would fall at this time, on account of numerous causes prevailing, storms in all proba- bility will prove widespread and heavy. Every reasonable pre- caution against di5astous hail storms should be taken at this and other April periods.
 From about Thursday, the 25th, to Sunday, the 29th, inclusive, it will be wise to anticipate storms of much energy with heavy rain and hail over wide localities dur ing the progress of the general storm conditions eastward. In extreme northern parts there is possibility of sleet and snow during this last April period. But all along the south side of low barometic pressure, look for heavy vernal rains, eliminating in electrical storms about the passage of the moon over the equator on the 18th.

Fancher q Brigadier.

The following circular, gen eral order No. 20, has just been issued from headquarters of the Arkansas division of the United Confederate veterans at Newport, Arkansas, by Major General V. Y. Cook and Adjutant- General J. F. Caldwell:
 1. Brevet Brig. Gen. J. Polk Fancher, Berryville, is hereby as- signed to the command of the Third brigade, this division, who will immediately enter upon the duties thereof, and will be re- spected accordingly.
 ?. Camps in the following counties will compose the Third brigade; Franklin, Conway, Pope, Johnson, Faulkner, Craw- ford, Washington, Madison, Newton, Searcy, Van Buren, Cleburne, Stone, Baxter, Marion, Boone, Carroll and Benton.
 3. Majs. L. c. Balch, c. s. Collins, T. c. Monroe, James Collins and Louis Volmer are transferred to the staff of Brig. Gen. B. w. Green, commanding First brigade.
 4. Following additional staff officers to serve upon the staff of the major general commanding are hereby announced: J. M. Caviness, major and aide-de- camp, Gravity Hill; G. w. Slaughter, major and aide-de- camp, Marianna; J. A. Jarrett, major and aide-de-camp, Mari anna; c. H. Bailey, major and aide de- camp, St. Louis, Mo.
 5. Cordial welcome is hereby extended to all Arkansas Confed- etate officers to participate with this division at the Memphis re- union, and on the general parade, mounted.

Hack Line to be Extended.

The Eureka Springs Times Echo of Monday says:
 'J. w. Hill, manager of the Hill Hack Line and passenger busi- ness from this point eastward, ex- poets to take off the service be- tween here and Harrison about the 10th inst, at which time it is expected that the first passenger train will be run over the new roadbed. This will, of course, render his hacks unnecessary for that distance.
 Beyond Harrison, however, it is intended to increase the mileage of the line. The Yellxlle branch will be continued as at present, giving the shortest route to that point, and another line will be put in from Harrison to Rush, which will cover the mineral country practically complete. The line from West plain to Melville will probably be taken off as soon as trains are running into Harrison, owing to the community of inter- ests between the Frisco and Memphis roads, and all the pas- senger business diverted by Eu- reka Springs. The West Plains line, 1t IS true, has the contract for carrying mails, but the gov ernment always reserves the right to change the route when a better one is afforded in the way of gaining time, and the stage cannot compete on this point, with the railway to Harrison shortening the distance by sev- eral hours.''

NOT COMING HOME.
NJ. F. Russell Has Cast His Lot
 in the Philippines.

The press dispatches announce ed last Saturday the arrival of the Transport Logan at San Fran cisco the day before, con- veying the 33rd and 34th U. S. V. A regiments.
 Having received no advice to the contrary M. B. Russell's folks here had confidently expected that he had remained with his regiment and would be home by the middle of the present month, but just at the time they expected a letter from him from San Fran cisco, there came one mailed in Manila, bearing the very unwel- come news that he had been mus tered out of service and will re- main and make his home indefi- nitely in the Philippines. This news will be very disappointing to Martins many friends about Green Forest and is a very sad disappointment, indeed, to his aged parents and other members of the family, who had built up the fond hope that he was to join them in a few days. The last news from him previous to the letter received Wednesday indi- cated very strongly that he had abandoned the idea of staying in the Philippines altogether.
 His letter states that he has not yet decided just what his avoca- ton will be, that lie has a propo- sition before him to open a res- taurant in Manila, also a position offered him in the government printing office at that place, but that he did not know as to whether he would accept either. He had a trip planned for Hong Kong, China, before he would settle down to anything.
 \ He states that he is in Ieason- Aably good health and had no Efears but that he had done the lkproper thing in remaining, as he Melt confident he could accumu- 7late money much faster in that country than he could in the states.
 He sends his special regards to all his old friends about Green Forest and says that he fondly looks forward to a time when he will see them all again.

Bobo of Green Forest and Thomas Hamilton of Ber- ryville.
 Mrs. Littrell was a model woman, consistent memberof the Baptist church, and her friends were limited only by the number of her acquaintances.
 Interment was at the Owens cemetery Sunday afternoon, fun eral services being conducted by Elder John Standlee.

To Tax Dogs.

A bill has been introduced in the legislature to encourage sheep raising in the state and to increase school fund" In sub- stance it provides:
 That the right to keep dogs within the state is a privilege and all persons keeping them shall pay one dollar tax on each dog kept. Said tax shall be paid in currency and to the col lector as other taxes are paid. When listing personal property each person is required to give the assessor a sworn statement of the number of dogs kept by him, his family or wards; said tax when collected shall be ap- portioned to the school districts. for school purposes, in propor- tion to the dogs in each district. In case of failure to pay the tax enough personal property shall be sold to liquidate the debt.
