If LIVING IS BUT WARFARE.

II living is but warfare, a fierce and vast cam
paign,
Let's be good soldiers in our day, the kind that
don't complain;
The cheerful breed that the march so steady
strides along
And gathers round the bivouac Of night with
heartening song,
That bears the brunt of battle as bravely as may
he
And eultivates laughing eye, the brighter side
to see,
For self respects steadfast mark to guide your
marching by,
And the world loves its good soldiers that bear
them straight and high.
II living is but warfare, let's make it splendid
war,
Till of some noble purpose tells each honorable
scar
And vanquishment shall only mean a worthy deed
deferred
And victorys cry as that of right triumphant
shall be heard
So glorious that when the grand TIE Deum strains
arise
Gods angels shall lift up the chant and choir it
through the skies,
And the trumpets Of archangels shall sound the
proud release
That signals to good soldiers Gods ultimate Of
peace!

RHODES AND BARNATO.

diamonds in the rough is an extremely

the custom to sell the output of the

and, aSayou probably know. the dia-

clad agreement that OnIy so many
stones shall be sold in the course of
any one year. Rhodes made this plan
years ago, to prevent Overstockine the
diamond market. and so well has it
worked that il is to this day rigidly
adhered to- Well to return to our

ING THE COUNTRY.
VISIT TO ST. ANTHONY
Cspeela1 TO The HeraIdl

St. Anthony, Ida, Jan. 19.-The ex-
cursionists of the fourth National Live
stock association arrived promptly at
II o'clock at St. Anthony, on their
speciaI train from Salt Lake City and
were met at the depot by Mayor
Bowerman and a committee Of citizens
who escorted them TO the Riverside
hotel There they were served with a
dinner prepared for them by the citi-
zens of St. Anthony
In the afternoon they were driven
abOut the town visiting the principal
points of interest, and took a trip
down on Egan bench where they had
an opportunity of viewing the magnlh-
cent system of canals that are in use
for the il igatiOn of that region and
seeing the beautiful farms that but a
few years ago were reclaimed from
what was apparently the most barren
of the arid regions of Idaho
To say that they were most tavoraOly
IMPRESSED and delighted with the coun-
try from a stOckman's view, is putting
il mildly. On every hand was heard
praise of the magnificent prospects of
this country. The rich loamy soil, the
inexhaustible supply of water. the
miles and miles Of splendid ranges were
all extolled in the highest degree
Many announced their intention of
coming back to Fremont county and
partaking of the blessings so freely Of
fered by nature.
At the time Of their departure from
st. Anthony the following resolution
was unanimously adopted;
Resolved, That we, the delegates to
the fourth National Livestock aSSOcia-
ton and other excursiOnistS to St.
Anthony, Ida, extend our sincere
thanks TO the officials of the Oregon
short Line Railroad CpupanV for the
splendid train and service furnished us,
and TO the mayor and enteTpTising
citizens of st. Anthony for the elabor-
ale entertainment provided, and to
the idaho colony company, also TO the
representatives of the press for the
information furnished us concerning
eastern Idaho
we cheerfully certify to the wonder
fui resources Of Fremont county and
Anthony as a place for investment,
We find here an irrigated country with
an unfailing supply of water under Co
operative bitches owned and managed
directly by the Farmers owning the
land, carrying maintenance charges OF
only nominal cost, and a splendid soil
producing great crops.
We believe the district to be un-
equaled in the west as a general farm
ing and stock raising country, and
that the amount of lOw-priced first
class land for sale now under existing
canal systems fully justify, the state
ment made that the population of the
district can be more than quadrupled
IN the near future if the climatic and
agricultural advantages are properly
presented to the people OF other states. -
After giving three rOusing cheers for
St. Anthony the party sped on their
way back TO Zion.
