According to reports received BY
Miss Scott, state school superintend-

there are 68,557 persons of school
age in the state. Miss Scott admits
the probability of the returns being
faulty, some of the county superin-

greatest difficulty had been exper-
fenced in getting anything ike a
correct enumeration The follow

comparison with that of 1904, as re-

of the representative cattlemen Of
the west and has been located in
Idaho since 1865. He vas in

He left home in 1859 and went to
California in wagon train. From
there he went to Idaho and Montana,
being in Virginia City before there

resided in Idaho for over forty
years and says thit he would rather
be in Idaho with an old COW and
biscuit than to own the finest farm

The proposed amendment voted
on by the people Of Idaho at the re-
cent election to change the mode OF
electing county commissioners so
that the terms OF all would not ex-
pire at once was defeated by a ma
jori.y OF 1898. This is to be re-
GREETED as the intent Of the law as
We see It would have resulted in d
beiterment OF the service rendered
the different counties by their com
missioners. The intent OF the Law
was to have one member Of the old
board constantly in service This,
in our judgment, could not but
have been to the betterment OF our
public service and We regret very
much the failure OF the amendment
to pass.

The best fixed and most prosper
GUS farming community in the work
is one close TO mining district
A farming community thus advanta
geously situated is independent OF
outside markets, transportation ETC.,
conditions which seriously affect the
average farming community. The
valleys and farm lands Of Montana,
Colorado and other western states
which lie in close proximity to the
great mining camps have enjoyed
these advantages for a number of
years, and farming has been profit
able, where otherwise the long dis
lance to markets would render the
soil Improbable for cultivation. II
is not improbable that these condi-
tons may some day exist here on
this prairie as they exist in other
more favored localities. The Clear
water mining district may, at some
not very distant day, afford a mar
ket for all surplus grain and produce
Of this prolific section. Struggling
prospectors and embryo mining com
panies now at work In this great
undeveloped mineral belt may some
day solve the transportation problem

osition to obtain money upon and
give nothing in return. Money hon

that is, IL expended for development
work on prospects or mines, is legit-
imately spent, and the investor
should have no kick at the promoter

Of this prairie or any similarly sit

purchased at a triie becomes a
source Of revenue, and on the other |
have the mine furnishes a market '
for his surplus and makes him inde- 7
pendent Of outside markets. These a
questions and conditions should re- r
ceiye serious consideration from I
hose concerned and maybe by help a

WHEN YOVCOT TO THE WORID'SFAIR
Suggestions Thot Should Be Helpful to tho Stranger
in ST. Louis-No Trouble When You Get Your Bear
inas-The Greatest of Worlds Expositions. C.

It will be worth all the self-denial
that one may practice for several years
to zee the Worlds Fair of 1904 at st.
Louis. Money saved, earned or bor-
rowed cannot be better spent than in
getting acquainted with the worlds
progress as revealed at this latest and
greatest Of expeditions. All of US can
not travel around the world to take
note OF what the nations are doing,
but the nations from all around the
world desire us to know and have sent
their best works to st. Louis to be
placed on display.
Within the two square miles of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at St..
Louis there is more to be seen than
ever was brought together in ten times
the space before. It is a great collec-
ton Of expositions massed into one. 1t
is nearly twice as large as the Coluna-
bian- exposition at Chicago, nearly ten
times larger than the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. Every exhibit
palace offers the equivalent of splen-
did exposition, each covering many
acres OF space.
The largest Of these is the Palace of
Agriculture, with its % acres under
ROOT and filled to the doors with the
most wonderful agricultural collection
ever assembled upon any occasion.
The important states and nations of
he world are all here alongside great
numbers Of individual exhibitors. Five
great staples have been chosen for ex-
traordinary display. Corn, cotton,
sugar, rice and tobacco are here ar
rayed as they have never been before
and undreamed possibilities are re-
vealed to inquiring minds. Such dairy
display was never attempted and such
a collection Of farm machinery and
tools was never placed on exhibition.

The School Principal Talks About

The Principal of a High School in

For % years l worked in the school
with only short summer vacations. I
formed the habit of eating rapidly,
masticated poorly which coupled with
my sedentary work led to indigestion,
liver trouble, lame back and rheuma-
tism.
Upon consulting physicians some
doped me with drugs, while others pre-
scribed dieting and sometimes I got
temporary relief, other times not. For
IL years I struggled along with this
handicap to my work, seldom laid up
but often a burden to myself with
larneness and rheumatic pains.
1.-TWO years ago met an old frieAd,
q physician who noticed at once my
out-6f-health condition and who pre-
scribed for me an exclusive diet OF
Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit.
II followed his instructions and in
two months felt like new man with
no more headaches, rheumatism or

been for years without a trace Of the
old troubles.
Judging from my present vigorous
physical and mental state I tell my
people Methuselah may yet have to
take second place among the old men,
for feel like I will live great many
more years.

Even to the timid traveller St. Louis
presents no complications. 1t is all as
plain as when once you get your
bearings. The streets all run east and
west or north and south with rarely a
confusing diagonal. Market street and
its western extension, Laclede avenue,
are the dividing line which separates
the northern and southern sections of
the city. All streets north and south
from Market begin their numbering at
Market, so that No. 1924 South Broad
way, for example, would be 20 blocks
south from Market street. All east and
west streets begin their numbers at the
Mississippi rivSr, so that No. 1920 would
be 81 blocks west of the river. Some
times in long block 200 numbers are
allowed.
