An exchange remarks that scientists
have discovered that one cubic cent?
meter of ice cream contains 100000
germs. Well, well, this much mootcd
question has been settled at last, has
it? The general public has wrestled
with this scientific problem for cen
turtles and this discovery will certainly
come as welcome news. The question
has been not whether the cream really
contained germs, but how many. Now,
the young man and his best girl as
they sit opposite each other at the ice
cream parlor can count up the number
of germs they are absorbing into their
systems as they get on the outside of
numberless dishes of the frozen luxury,
rather than indulge in small gossip.
If there are 100000 germs in cubic
centimeter, there are probably not
less than $1,000, 900 in the average dish
of cream. If the young man eats two
dishes and the young lady three, which
is usually the proportion, the two will
have taken into their system as many
as 3l5, 900, 900 germs. Think of that,
will you,-a petite little creature with
waist but 20 inches around carry ing
with her two-thirds of $4,000, 900
germs. This is amazing, and the dis
covery certainly opens great field for
speculation. The ice cream trade is
sure to take boom now, for where Is
the ambitious young who will not
have desire to ascertain just how
many ice cream germs human system
can contain. Possibly there may be a
championship contest between ice
creamists, and such contest would
have an advantage over yacht race,
for it could take place whether the
wind Is right or not. And it is
unlikely that this system of computa-
ton with ice cream accompaniment
may be introduced into our schools.
| AS a mental stimulus, the proposition
could never have a rival. 1t is truly
grand to contemplate the possibilities
OF this discovery, for as yet this won
derful scientist has not put damper
on us by asserting that these germs
are harmful. We are left TO believe
that the ice cream germs are peace
able little fellows that say their
prayers regularly and always mind
mamma. Really though, our curiosity
is as great as a woman's. Why didn't
this dlscoverer tells us what the germs
look like? Do they resemble miniature
toad frogs, or are they in the nature
of centipedeS, caterpillars or grub
worms. In view OF the fact that we
are eating such enormous quanti-
ties and will probably continue to eat
them why shouldn't we know Just

The UnruIy Member.

In short address given by Presi-
dent Isaac Smith at the RELIEF
Society conference held in this city
short time ago he said:
"If you hear anything unknd said
Of another, even II il be true, do not
talk Of it," These few words open up
wide field for reflection. Many peo-
pie excuse themselves in talking
unkindly Of each other because they
repeat nothing but what they believe
is true. A man may have inherited
from his ancestry for generations

liquor. TO some, liquor is nauseating
and perchance there is no temptation

certainly it is not creditable for these

however, disposition in most people
to do this very thing, not only so far
as one particular falling is concerned,

in the aggregate is oftentimes harmful.

The threshers are running full
blast over all the county. The thresh-
ing men report the quality of wheat
as being first class, but the yield ex-
tremely light. This will prove hard
year on many of the farmers who de-
pend on the wheat crop exclusively for
their income. This experience again
emphasizes the fact that every farmer
who owns small piece Of irrigated
land should plant it to beets or some
other safe product, so that if their
wheat crop proves failure, they can
still have little revenue coming in
from other sources that are always
reliable.

To Parents.

Whooping cough is epidemic in the
city at present, and it is the desire
that the health officers be notified of
all new cases. The death of two or
three last year from this disease has
caused it to be regarded as dangerous,
especially to the smaller children. and
every effort is being made to check
the spread of the disease. The only
way this can be done is to quarantine,
and parents should be sufficiently
alive to their duties to Immediately
notify health officers when it is dis
covered that child is afflicted. The
quarantining process does not make it
necessary for parents to remain indoors
or away from business, but provides
for fumigation and non-association
among children. The city schools will
soon be opened, and it is very desirable
that check be put on this epidemic
ere the school term begins. The in
dividual citizen owes it to himself and
his fellow-man to look carefully after
this matter ana do as duty and the
law requires. And when the marshal
or other officer comes to put up the
flag, do not vent an unreasonable spite
or vexation on him. He is merely
performing his duty as the law requires
and probably dislikes to put up the
flag as much you dislike to have it up.

Nothing was clearer in the
recent National Irrigation Con-

support and cooperation of the
national government in the en-
ergetic development of the west.
The ringing declarations of the

presence of the Secretary OF

and the separate convention in
Ogden of a hundred engineers OF
the new Reclamation Service OF
the Geological Survey, in which

that the national government is

Congressman Martin. of South
Dakota, has introduced a bill
establishing mining experiment
stations in each mining State
and Territory, the object being
to assay, analyze and classify
various ores and other mineral
products of the respective States
when presented by the citizens
thereof. The stations will be in
charge of a geologist at sal
airy of $4,000 and a chemist at
$4,000. Five thousand dollars
is to be appropriated for the

Rules That Govern Entries on the New Canal
Route.

| iOAiO w ihS ICtlCI mas DeCn
received by Attorney Charles L.
Knox, and it would be well for
those contemplating taking up
lands on the route of the new
canal to read the same carefully:
"Ysur letter o' recent date to
the Honorable, the Secretary of
the Interior, has been. referred to
me for reply. With it you trans
init letter from c. L. Knox, of
Reno, Nevada. asking for a list
of the lands withdrawn from
entry under the Reclamation
Law of June II, 1902, and also
asking whether these lands can
be located upon by intending
settlers.
Under the terms of the law, a
copy of which is enclosed here
with, the Secretary of the In
terror is authorized to withdraw
lands, pending survey and ex-
animation. These lauds can be
entered under the Homestead
Act only, subject to certain re-
strictioas as to payment of cost
of water to be used in reclaim
alton, size of entry, etc. II has
been ruled under the wording of
the law that homestead entry
men can make filing upon 160
acres, but that later this amount
can be cut down to 40 or more
acres, according to the dis
cretion of the secretary.
In the case of Nevada large
areas of land have been with
drawn, surveys and examina-
tions instituted. the general
feasibility of the projects ascer-
tanned, and certain details work
ed out. 1t has not, however,
been considered wise to delay
construction until every detail
has been thoroughly ascertained
and hence what may be termed
a preliminary or partial con-
tract has been let for the feeder
canal from the Truckee River to
the Lower Carson reservoir,
work upon which is now pro-
crossing,
The surveys and examinations
have not yet progressed to a
point where it is possible to
ascertain the actual lands to be
irrigated or the size OF the home
steads. When this is known the
fact will be made public and
entry will be invited. Pending
the determination of these facts,
homestead entrymen can make
entries subject to the provisions
of the laws and to the charges
which the secretary may make
at a later date. That is t. say,
a man may enter upon 16O
acres, but when the plans are
finally made this may be reduced
TO 40 acres. Before title can be
secured he mast, of course, pay
for the water and comply with
other requirements not yet
stated.
It is matter of regret that it
is impossible not to make all OF
the plans complete at the outset
but we are confronted with two
alternatives one of delaying
work indefinitely, the other OF
beginning it in part and deter
mining details later on. 1t is
impossible to prevent people
making homestead entries at
their own risk, but if they wish
70 do so we can only warn them
they are taking certain risks,
whether these homestead entry
men can ultimately obtain title
or not can not be decided until
further progress is made.

LAW NJ AkERS AND PASSES.

few days ago one of the Helena
papers said the members of the Mon
tana legislature were Indignant be-
cause their railroad passes were lin
tied to sixty days, or to the term of
the Legislative session. In the Butte
Miner we find the following:
''The Montana legislators can con-
sole themselves in :he know &c tn at
the Northern Pacific did not make an
exception with them when it issued
passes limited to 60 days instead of
extending the usual courtesy of an
nual passes. From St. Paul to the
coast all Legislators have been treated
the same way, and in all other states
they have been just as indignant as
they have been in Montana. In Min
nesota and North Dakota they re-.
turned their passes, and in Idaho and
Washington they are talking about
it. President Mellen of the Northern
Pacific was asked regarding the
change in time limit, and he said he
had not paid much attention to the
matter, but that as the legislators
could travel during the sessions as
formerly he could see no reason why
they should be SO agitated."
1t would seem that some Legislative
assembly, and what one better than
that of Montana, should pass bill
defining the relation of the member to
a railroad pass, the duty of the mem.
ber to a road issuing pass and the
duty of common carriers to members

How Argentina Treats Her Bachelors.
Chicago Journal.

CnlcASO journal.
One of the most novel and determined
efforts to drive the bachelor to matri-
mony or suicide is the law which has
been prom ulg ated in one of the states
forming the Argentine federation. A
man is marriageable in Argentina
when he has completed his Goth year.
If, from th at date, and till he passes
his Both birthday, he wishes to remain
single, he must pay S. a month to the
state. For the next five years, the tax
increases 100 per cent. Between 35
and 50 the bachelor is supposed to
have crystallized into a confirmed
state, and strong financial jolt is
considered necessary to awake him
from his lethargy. He is, therefore,
mulcted to the tune Of 500 a month.
From his 50th year to five beyond
the scriptural three score and ten, the
bachelor is mulcted $50, but having
reached the 10Th year, relief finally
comes, and the tax becomes nomin al !,

50 a man can remain single without
paying anything. There is a para

given three years in which to mourn

If man is unable to pay his taxes
he is put in prison, unless he can show
"a just cause, such as lack of employ
ment or sickness. A man who can
prove that he has received three de-
clinations in one year is also consid-
cred to have earned immunity from
axation. 1t is said that the law
works like a charm. Since the day
when it went into operation the
