The gratifying increase in the price
OF silver and the outlook that the
metal will command higher price
In the future, is a matter Of congrat-
ulation for the people Of Idaho.
The price has run up from 48 cents
an ounce to 55 cents or an advance Of
seven cents per ounce. With an out
put Of 5000, 900 ounces OF silver this
increase in price will mean to Idaho
the sum Of $420, 900, and with the
prospects that the establishment Of
gold and silver ratio OF exchange at
80 to one, the. price of silver would
jump TO 644 cents per ounce, which
would add more than $570, 900 to the
annual value or practically increase
the revenue-of the silver mines Of Id
aho 81 900, 900 per year.-Capital News

Denver Times: Former Judge A.
w. Rucker is one Of the leading spirits
in the movement which has for its
purpose, the preservation of the for
estry Of this western country partcu-
larly and OF the United States gener
ally. He has already done some good
work in the furtherance Of this canse.
He addressed the meeting of tht
City Ditch Water Protective associa
tion yesterday at the Chamber OF Com
merce and gave his hearers many val
liable hints. No man has made ~
more thorough study of the subjec'
of the preservation OF forestry, as vel
as its perpetuation. During his tril
abroad year ago he visited all tn.
European countries and observed theii
tree growth and the way they took
care of their forests. He predicted
that within SO years from now, un-
less the government, by the aid OF thu
people, took steps to preserve the for
ests of the United States, the matter
of water with which to drink and irri.
gate would cause dire conditions
throughout the land. He figures
that it will require only about 81
years at the present rate Of clearing
the lands of trees, WITHOUT planting
Others to make barren and arid
| waste.
The first step, according to him,
that has been taken to aid in the pre-
seryation of the forests was put for
ward recently in Colorado Springs In
the organization of an auxiliary asso.
citation, the purpose of which will b.
to aid the government forestry in
spectors and agents in the preserva-
ton of the mountain forests without
which there is bound to be scarcity
OF water to the people OF the west
He advised his hearers to interes
themselves in this movement, both a.
an association and as individual men,
bers and see that the government for
estry officers and agents stationed
through the country prosecuted thcil
duty in saving the trees from the mi
pratory sawmills that are destroyin.

the CASHIERS LAST

The bank teller sees all kinds Of peo.

the men and women whose fortunes
pass through his hands. A writer in the
Detroit Free Press has been gathering
the adventures of some of those patient
and careful men who stand behind the
grille, and receive and deliver the mon.
ey of the world.
One day fat little colored woman
came Into dime savings bank. She
carried huge basket of clothes, and
her remark, as she handed in her book.
was, II want to draw my remains"
Many people, chiefly women, expect
the bank to put aside for them the iden.
tical coins which they deposit never
thinking, apparently, that the bank can
make 40 gain on money that it does
not put out at interest. A young woman
came into branch savings bank with
two double eagles of the year 1910.
II sl.Culd like to have these back

The clerk explained to her that all
money which came into the bank must
be turned to practical use at once.

If you let them 60 into circulation. And,
besides, think Of THE diease they might

rHE THOUGHTFUL SHAH.

Old Not Want to Disappoint the Dem
tist of an Extraction.
The kindly consideration of the Shah
toward a dentist whom he summoned
during his recent visit in Paris is de-
scribed by the London Telegraph, but
1t is evident that If the Shah was
thoughtful for the dentist he was not
troubled by any solicitude for the feel
ings of his attendants.
His majesty suffered from toothache
soon after his arrival in Paris, and
sent for dentist. The dentist looked
at his majesty's teeth, and advised the
extraction, not Of one, but of several.
day, but when the dentist returned
he found the Shah all right, and ap-
parently in a playful mood. The
toothache had gone, and there was no
longer any need for the dentists SER
vices.
AS the dentist was preparing to
leave, the Shah called him back, say
ing, II do not like to have troubled
you for nothing, so, as you have come,
you had better draw molar from
each of my counselors."
| The Shah spoke with his eyes fixed
on the ground and in meditative
manner. When he looked up all the
counselors had vanished, with the ex-
ception of the grand vizier, who man
fully stood his ground, unmindful as
to whether his all-powerful master
was in joke or in earnest The other
counselors evidently believed in the
earnestness of the masters utterances.
This anecdote is something like the
one told Of the Shah's predecessor,
who, when in Paris. asked to see Mon
sieur Deibler at work with the gull
lotine. When he was informed that at
the time there was nobody waiting for
execution, he proposed that one Of his
suite should be handed over to Deibler
and decapitated at the Champs Ely
sees.
The probability is, however. that
neither story has any real foundation
in fact.
