The earth has nourished us through un.
known ages of human existence. Is it not
true that the earth supplies us with every
thing that we really require for existence
Have you ever thought that it is probable
that the earth supplies us with the means
to keep our bodily vigor, our health, if we
only knew it1 The animals know by in
stinct what is good for them and will search
until they find in some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or constipa-

there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the Diseases that afflict

and put healthy tone into the whole
system.

attendance at their meetings, giving

Mr.. Tillman defines a farmer as
one who works with his hands, and
an agriculturist as one who works

Whether Senator Smoot, of Utah,
Should be permitted to hold his seat
or be expelled in accordance with
the demand of tens of thousands of
people who have signed petitions and
memorials on the subject is a ques-
ton, but there is no doubt that his
trial, which was conducted before
asenate committee, was most UNIQUE
one in this, that the charge or accus-
alton is not against him but against
his associates and the organization to
which he belongs. 1t is not claimed
that he was not legally and fairly
elected, that he has ever violated the
law against polygamy or any other,
bat that he is member of the Nor
mon church, which is admitted, and
the whole investigation is directed to
a discovery of the character of the
Institution and the beliefs and prac-
tees of its other members. In a
%ord 1t is the church which is on trial
and not Mr.. Smoot.

The May number of the Ranch, "
correcting an article in the April
issue pertaining to this county but
printed under the heading "What
Island County Wants" says: "San
Juan county is one of the best in the
western part of the state and there
is room for large number of people.
A trip over the county will convince
the most skeptical of that, and that
they have as fine land as there is in
any state. Eastern people looking
for good location should not over
ook the advantages presented by
this county.

Realizing that without the electoral
vote of New York it is impossible to
elect a Democratic president, and
believing that with a strong candi-
date they can carry the state, the
leading Democrats of the country
have generally agreed that if the
party in New York united in support
of any candidate he should be and
would be nominated. This union has
been effected. The New York dele
CATION will go to ST. Louis united,
earnest and aggressive for Judge
Parker, and there is every reason to
believe that the claims of his sup.
porters that his nomination IS. as
sured are not extravagant. There
will be opposition. Hearst will own
some delegates. Olney will have
some complimentary votes. Others
will get honorable mention, but the
drift is, to all appearances, irresist
ably towards the New York Judge

A Splendid Presentation.

BY far the prettiest play and lest
presentation ever given by the hoNe
dramatic company, took place last
Friday evening when "HumaN
Hearts was given before large
audience, ut the opera house. Very
few travelling companies ever gave a
finer performance in this city.
Every part was cast into most cap
able hands. 1t would be unfair to
mention one as beng better than
another, for the entire seventeen
won the applause Of tie big as
semblage and, without exception,
all deserved the praise THAI was
given.
In the first place the play itself is
beautiful one, and the parts are so
we'll balanced that each character
was gwen chance to display fine
acting. 1t will, 40 doubt, be long
time before a more pleased audience
will again be found in this city.
The play will be repeated to NOR
row, Saturday, afternoon at a mat
inee, and in the evening. Many who
attended the performance last Fri
day will go again and those who
didn't see it before will miss one Of
the finest things ever seen in this
city if they Go not attend tomorrow
night.

The New Battleship Idaho.

Unless unforeseen obstacles are en-
countered, the battleship Idaho will
become a part of the United States
navy early in the spring of 1907,
says the Genesee News. Under the
terms of contract recently made
with the Cramp Shipbuilding com
pany Of Philadelphia, the Ifaho and
her sister shi p the Mississippi, are
to be cor structed ut their yards at
an aggregate cost Of 80, 900, 500, the
contract period being AZ months. =
The navy department has en-
bodied in the Idaho the most modern
ideas in naval architecture. While
not as great as some of the vessels
III modern navies, the Idaho is de-
signed to be an all around machine,
not only capable of ths,anding an
attack from the enemy, butof being
able to engage or give chase to the
enemy if need be. In other words.
the Idaho embodies the best features
of the modern battleship and cruiser
com bincd.
On the water line she will measure
375 feet from stern TO bow, with q
breadth of Il feet, the total dis
placement will not exceed Is, 900
tons, although the ship when fully
armed and with her bunkers carry
ing their maximum of 1850 tons of
coal will draw 81 feet of water.
On her trial tri p the Idaho, to
comply with the contract, must
make speed of II knots per hour.
In case she fails to meet the requil e.
ments heavy penalty will be i'm.
posed upon the Cramp company, as
1T has been stipulated that there
shall be a,deduction in the contract
price of $4,000 for the first quar-
ter knot in deficiency of speed, and
800, 900 if the speed is less than
l64 knots or more than l6!. Should
the speed fall belov 164 knots the
vessel may be rejected, or can be
accepted at such figure as the sec.
rotary may deem adequate
