revives the youthful powers, and that
it has special virtue as a winter food
for old people. Pictures and eharae-
ters illustrating this idea, as well as

American milk in China, as one of
the consuls suggests.

Found Dead in HIS Tent.

A sheep herder working for J. n
Erickson was found dead in his
tent near Muldoon last week. The
sheep we're noticed roaming around
and the herder could not be found
and the foreman noticing this went
to the tent in search OF him and
there found him dead, and from all
appearances he had been for
several days. 1t seems he was in
the act OF eating his breakfast as he
was found sitting in his chair with
the coffee pot in his hand which
would indicate that he was in the
act OF pouring out coffee when death
over took him. His name is
John Cannon and was man of
about 20 years OF age, and it is not
known whether he has any relatives
or not.
When a party went to take the
herder's body out for burial the
tent had to be torn down in order
to get it out as his dog would not
let them in and had to be beaten
away.
The man undoubtly died from
heart failure. He had about $50
in wages coming to him and Mr.
Erickson gave it to the county
coroner.

THE WEST ALL RIGHT
Says Senator Foster of
Tacoma, Wash.
IDAHO WILL BE IN LINE
The Republican Party Is For Pro-
gress and Up-BuiIding and
Always Leads the Way.
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 2s. 1902

WASHINGTON, D. c. July 2s, 100:
Your correspondent had tbs
pleasure OF interviewing Senator
Foster before he left the city for hi:
home in Tacoma, Washington
He is an enthusiastic worker in the
up-building OF the west. The
senator was in splendid humor
when your correspondent ap-
preached him.
There are so many pertinent
reasons" he said with much
earnestness, "why the far western
states should support the republi-
can party, that it IS impossible to
|enumerate them in a brief inter
yiew.n
''Thc west, Ike the country at
large, must have the benefit OF the
republican policy OF protection and
OF the numerous policies Inaugural
ted by that party for the advance
ment and prosperity of the country
generally. The far west stood in
need OF national system of irri-
CATION, and the present session of
congress, being dominated by a
republican majority, has supplied
that want. This is only one OF the
many instances in which the re-
publican party gaurds the interests
OF the people, not only OF the west,
but OF the east, the north and the
south as well. Idaho should take
its place among the republican
states OF the Pacific Slope and en-
Joy the benefits that come to them
rs the result Of the confidence that
IS inspired in business circles by !
hearty cha npioning OF republican
principles.
"The republican party is party |
If progress and up-building. 1t has
ed the way for many decades while
many other parties have taken a
negative stand and instead OF as
listing and joining in the work of
lp-building the far west and other
ections OF the country, are now,
nd have been, in the attitude of
biectors and fault-fnders.
"Do you think, /" your correspond
