And smoothed her apron down..
A thump. a bang, on the floor above.
He's up" she cried, with a look of love.
A bang and a thump-and then
Down over the stairs with a bound he

Till her cap fell of and her breath was
gone.
he called for his drum and he called for
his horn,
He danced n whistled and laughed and
And raised such a breeze that the nags
he flung
From the windows tapped again.
"It's only my FOURTH good Dame July,
To the wondering ~neighbors that hurried
by,
With motherly pride explained;
He is just a little bit noisy and wild,
I must confess; but the dearest child

But children difer-its always So
And boys will be boys, of course. you

And down on her motherly knees she went,
And helped him to fire of his gun, content,
Though her fingers were burned and her
apron rent,
And her ribbons all spotted and stained
1t was early dawn when his fun began;
From garnet to cellar he romped and ran
Through the neat little, sweet little house.
He strewed the parlor with tangie of toys,
The walls reechoed with riot and noise;
He broke her china and rumpled her hair,
And wore all her pretty new carpets bare;
And the sun went down, and the stars
came out
To see what the racket was all about;
And at twelve o. the clock with a final
shout
He frightened the midnight mouse.

And she looked at the clock with a heart

As she righted her cap with care.
II hope he has had a good time, the dear,

The sweetest children sometimes, I find,
Are a trihe wearing to the body and mind,
For boys will be boys, and I'm rather glad
My Fourth was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
And sleepily nodding her dear old head,
Il guess I had better be going to Bed
I'm a little bit tired-myself!' she said,
And went to sleep In her chair

of this section he was in search of

some Tennessee lands, but finds il
difficult to get homeseekers to visit

inclined toward Idaho. In order to

airy drawbacks he made this trip.

but the people of Weiser are drinking in
the glad tidings, and their plans for the
future are being broadened.
One of Weiser's treasures is It's splendid
newspaper, The Signal. It's columns
denote the enterprise and life of its sur
roundings. 1t is always admiring the
city Of its home, and brilliantly portray

ASK FOR CONSOLIDATION.
Ranchers Under the Extension bitches
Should Make a Move.

Recently the SIGNAL mentioned
that the farmers under the two ex-
tensions of the Payette ditch are
working under heavy disadvantages
in being mere branches of the main
ditch instead of being part and
parcel Of it. In conversation with
different ones lately we have been
asked to give the matter more pub
licity, and urge that immediate
steps be taken toward securing CON
solidalion. The Extension Ditch
20. meets at the court house in
Weiser Monday, Sept 16, and it is
to be hoped that the initial steps in
the matter will then be taken. If a
consolidation is effected it would
save the ranchers living across the
Weiser many dollars annually.

EQUAL TO CALIFORNIA
Our Valley Has No Superior For Gil
mate, Fertility and Good Markets.

An example of what can be &C.
complished on ranch here in one
season is shown by Capt. A. w.
Waters, whose home is two miles
east of Weiser The captain is
lawyer, but he has mastered the art
OF irrigation--ln fact, taken to water
like duck. He has built lateral
bitches over his place in way that
makes irrigation a pleasure, and has
planned and executed system of
irrigating by ''sections" that works
like charm. Each section is
surrounded by a small dyke that
holds the water until that section is
flooded sufficiently, when the water
is turned out of 1t and into the next
one, and so on down the field. While
this method is we'll known it is sell
dom practiced, especially in new
irrigated country. Mr.. Waters has
a nice field of alfalfa that he has
just irrigated up He is delighted
with this valley, and informs the
the SIGNAL that after having spent
most of his life on the Pacific coast
and being well acquainted with every
part, he believes that for climate,
fertility and good markets it has
no equal Furthermore, he gives it
as his opinion that man who can
not succeed here after seasons
experience need not try it anywhere
else. The climate, in his opinion.
is 30 nearly similar to that of Cali.
fornia that oranges can be grown
here if given winter protection.
While the SIGNAL is sure that we
come nearer having paradise than
any other section, we always like to
be substantiated by men whose exper.
fence IN such affairs Is as extensive
AS the captains.

New Facts Coming to Light About
South African War.

London, August 31.-Some in
teresting sidelights are thrown on
the South African war by advices
published today A dispatch from
Cape Town to the Daily Mail indicates
that Scheeper's commando has now
moved to the southwest and invaded
a part of Cape Colony previously
undisturbed by the Beers, while more
severe restrictions have been i'm
posed with the object of preventing
communication between Cape Town
and the newly disturbed areas.
The Cologne Gazettes correspon-
dent in Cape Town declares that the
entire territory of Cape Colony is a
'seething mass of disorder He
asserts also that the Beers are re-
ceiving support from all sides.
Edgar Wallace, writing to the
DalIy MAIL, expresses decided Opin-
ion that Lord Kitchener's Punishment
proclamation will not result in the
surrender of single important com
mando and that much severer
penalties are needed, the only use full
policy being vigorous military mea-
sures.
In the early part Of August, cor
respondent of the Morning Post had
long talk with Lord Kitchener, from
which he gathered that sit is not
Lord Kitchener, but ths government,
that is to blame for many of the
present evils. ~

Nothing in the Report That Snake
Was Dry.


Idaho Falls Register.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Snake river has been much lower
than for several years there is no
danger of it going dry. 1t still car
ries thousands of inches of water and
has supplied all the canals that it has
been in the habit of feeding with
all the water required. 1t must be
remembered that Snake river flows
through very peculiar country. A
country of lava beds containing large
crevices and underground caverns.
We have crossed Lost river when the
water was from eight or ten feet deep
and fifty or sixty feet wide, and
twenty miles from that point it was
all gone, but it came out again into
Snake river. There are places in
Snake river where when the river is
very low the water may find an under
ground passage and in short dis
lance come to the surface again, but
that would not indicate that the
river was SO low as to have gone
dry. The item in last week 8
Register about r V. Pugmire com
ing so near getting drowned in pass
ing through the rapids only twenty
miles above where it was reported
to have gone dry would seem to in
ica,e that there was sufficient water
the moisten the bottom of the river
anywhere. All the canals that are
supplied by Snake river have been
running full all summer.
A canal that carries thirty thou
sand inches of water and irrigates
several thousand acres of land has
its head near the point where it was
said to have gone dry.
There is no danger of Snake river
going dry.
