PLENTY OF CARS FOR HAY
BUT MARKET IS VERY POOR
Sound Market is Loaded Up, Especially
with Alfalfa-Poultry Market More
Quiet Than Was Expected.

There has been no scarcity of cars
during the past week, but as was ex-
pected by the shippers, when they were
able to ship hay to the Sound the de-
mand was so poor that the question
now is to dispose of the hay after it is
there. The market is overloaded with
alfalfa, and the top price quoted here is
$3.50 a ton. 1t is stated that J. B.
Stevens of Tacoma, a dealer to wnom
a great deal of Yakima alfalfa is ship
ped received ninety ears in one day
last week. When the car fam
inc was on, orders were placed in
every reproducing section of the
state, and these were not cancelled
When the railroad company decided to
loosen up and give the Yakima shippers
a few cars, all sections of the state be-
gan dumping their hay onto the Sound
dealers, and the result was that they
were swamped. Clover and grain hay
are a little higher, due probably to the
limited quality marketed or offered dur

To Connect With Spokane

The Interstate Telephone COM
pany, which has applied for a fran
chise to take a terminal line into
Spokane, was organized over two
years ago under the laws Of Wash
ington. Its operations are in koot-
cnai county, and it plans to con-
meet all the towns OF this county
with Spokane by direct line.
M. A. Phelps of Spokane, is
president and w. r. Haverland oil

capitalized at $500, 900. Mr.
Phelps said yesterday, eve have
$50 miles OF line in Idaho. We
have one circuit which takes in
Standpoint, liootenai, Laclcdc,
Athol and Rathdrum, and another
including St. Maries, Harrison, 81

unite them at Occur d'Alene and
have a terminal in Spokane.
"We are putting an exchange ir

strung from LaClede, and will be
met by the party from Rathdrum

the company will establish the sys-

On February rst, the Bank OF
Commerce was changed to the
Rathdrum State Bank, Ltd. The
change was made necessary by the
following circumstance. When
the bank reincorporated some
weeks ago, as state bank. the d.
rectors sought to appropriate the
name tBank OF Commerce, Ltd,
when it was found that that name
was already in use, being the ap-
pellation Of state bank at Boise.
\ different name was required by
law and to avoid confusion. The
aew name adopted, is more salts
factory in every way; it cannot be
confounded with any other, and de-
rives strength from the fact that it
includes the name OF the place in
which it is located. With S2s,-
300 paid up capital, and controlled
~ directors who are known as
staunch and conservative business
men Of kootenai county, the Rath-
drum State Bank now ranks
among the solid, safe financial in
stitutions OF Idaho.

An Arithmetic Puzzle.

If you find some one who doesn't
know how it is done this puzzle will
mystify him considerably. Tell him
to think of number--any number
he likes, but it, must be even (say
14; then ask him to double il t2s),
then tell him TO add 10 to it l3s),
then to halve it (l9), and finally to
take away the first number thought
Of az, and the answer will be 5.
But you must tell him what the an
swer should be and then ask him il
he has got the same. The explana-
ton is very simple. The answer is
always half the number originally
added, which in this case was 10, SO
the result will, Of course, be 5.
Whatever number is chosen, halt
the number you tell him to add will
always be the answer.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Cyrus Curtis Laid the Foe"aas'0"
For q Fortune.

For Fortune.
A fortune built upon 8 cents IS
certainly a rare and remarkable
thing, but a story from the Young
Peoples Weekly shows that 1t Is
not impossible. !,
One day in 1862 boy who lived
in Portland, Me-, asked his mother
for a quarter for spending money.
He had at the time in his pocket .
cents remaining frog what his
mother had given him a few days
before. The mother said, "Why
don't you try to earn some money,
Cyrus, and thus have spending mon
~ of your own"
"Can / have all ] make" he in
quired.
certainly" she answered.
The boy forthwith began to plan.
Running across newsboy in the
street, Cyrus offered him a penny
each for three papers. The regular
price was 3 cents, but the boy was
overstocked and gladly made the
sale. Cyrus sold his papers at 8
cents each and went home richer by
6 cents.
This was the beginning Of a for
tune which Cyrus Curtis, the owner
of the Ladies' Home Journal and
the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post, has since acquired. After the
first business venture young Curtis
sold papers regularly when out OF
school. When but thirteen years
old he published little amateur
| sheet called Young America. He
paid the printer IS for printing 4Ot
copies. The business did not sue
coed, but this did not discourage the
boy. Saving a few dollars from the
sale of newspapers, he went to Bos-
ton, where he purchased small
printing outfit and established a lit
Tie printing office.
From these humble beginnings
Mr.. Curtis became one of the great
publishers OF the present day.
