Teacher Receives Present.
The pupils OF the Big Butte dis
trict surprised their teacher with
q beautiful and useful Christmas
present last Friday. The teacher,
D. M. Story, had arranged to have
Christmas exercises on Friday
afternoon and the pupils planned
to give him a present to show their
appreciation for the efforts that he
is putting forth for their advance
ment. The present was a beauti-
full writing set and was presented
by Miss Kate Moynaugh with ap-
propriate remarks. After this in
terruption the program was re-
sumed which consisted Of recita-
tions and songs. All the pupils
joined heartily in the exercises.
This school. is one of the best
equipped rural schools in the coun-
ty. The building is large and we'll
finished and equipped with patent
seats an d hardwood furniture.
With such a house and the harmony
between the teacher and pupils it
is useless to say that the pupils are
making rapid advancement in their
work. There were q few visitors

Some people get the mistaken
idea in their heads that the only
thing necessary for success is to
"toot their own horns" We like
a man that is proud Of his business
or profession and has the courage
to say to the world that his goods
or his ability is equal to the best.
But when man thinks that he is
1T and tries to tell an intelligent
public that he is the only man that
accomplishes results, that he is the
only man that can do good printing
we simply pity him. If such peo-
pie had half the ability they try to
make people think they have they
would certainly be gobbled up by
curio hunters instead Of being left
to bloom alone and waste their
Fl agrance on the desert air."

Government Running Behind.

Government Running Behind.
To the person fond Of figures
an interesting bit of reading is fur
nished in the perusal Of those re-
lating to the national expenditures
for the past ten years.
1t is generally believed that our
government revenues are largely in
excess Of government expenditures,
but such is not always the case.
In the four years Of President
Cleveland's first administra t j n
the excess between income and out
60 was 500, 900, 900 per annum.
When he retired from Office he
left full treasury of which Presi-
dent Harrison speedily made ducks
and brakes.
When President Cleveland again
took Office there was no surplus in
the United States treasury, and he
was forced to meet the exigencies
Of a currency crisis and immensely
increase the national obligation by
borrowing money.
President Mckinley increased
the debt SO begun to meet the de-
mands of the war with Spain, al
though war taxes were imposed
and customs and internal revenue
receipts were greatly increased.
The fiscal year ending Juno 80,
1908, showed.a surplus Of s54, 00o,-
600, and the fiscal.ryea ending
June 30, 1904, showed a deficit of
$40, 900, 900.
If the taxpayers Of the nation
would take time to do little fig
uring they would discover that it
was not possible. for the govern
ment of the United States to make
''both ends meet" without the i'm
position of war taxes in time OF
peace, the deficit of. 1904 being
caused by army and navy expendi-
lures.
The question Of stamp taxes is
being vigorously, though quietly,
agitated among the "standpatters"
Of the east, and it is not unlikely
that such a source of revenue will
be adopted to meet the great out
60 which the ultra military char
acter of the present administration
necessitates. Miner.

not an extension Of time will be
granted for the removal of timber
from state lands, the timber having
recently been purchased by an

There is strong effort being
made to increase the number oil
forest ranges on the public reserves,
it being claimed that the increase
is necessary to protect the timber
from fires. 1t is we'll known by
people living near these reserves
that the rangers are practically
powerless to prevent or extinguieh
fires and if the force was increased
several times the loss from fires
could not be noticibly less. Our
timber, 1t is true, is one Of our
most valuable public possessions
but it is in greater need Of protec-
ton from land sharks who are re-
ceiving special grants from our
public officials, than from fire.

Abolish an Office.

One of tn g recommendations
which Governor-elect Gooding will
doubtless make to the legislature
will be to abolish the Office of state
sheep inspector and substitute the
office of veterinary surgeon. The
question Of creating the latter Office
has been agitated for some time.
1t is claimed that such an official
is needed who would have authori-
ty to examine all kinds of diseased
animals. 1t is further claimed that
he could handle sheep disease as
we'll as it is being done under the
