A new year Is dawning upon Sal
mon paradise. Old ways win not
promise much good for the new era
OF time. To ill our souls with the
communion OF bright nope u new
policy should be inaugurated and
launched upon the dawning year.
There Is no occasion for a moral re-
formation. nor does there seem to be
any cornplai Mt about our religious
standing at home or abroad. So Ear
as the writer Is informed the citizens
OF Lemhi are fitted eminently for this
modern garden OF Eden.
What we want IS a business reform
for this new year. When II Is said
the people are good, that means they
are as good as poor ana improyident
people can be. As the most direct
ruad to mems souls the writer would
advise even the use OF The pulpits Of
the city In the promotion OF prosper.
ity for one whole year. The people
OF this earthly paradise cannot be-
come any more religious or moral
than they are now while they are In
tile shadow OF the self-imposed sin of
hardtimes.
1t has become an universal custom
to turn over a new leaf at the tegin-
ming OF the year. Ii Is almost as an
iyersai a custom TO sit down on that
leaf. and fret for what Is on the next
page OF life. Our people should not
be satisfied with any old page this
year, but they should just keep on
turning till they come to Il lesson Of
progress, and then learn Ii we'll
While our people are honest and
good, they have never learned the
first lesson OF patriotism. They
would die for the flag and sing the
heroism OF our martyrs. but they sit
by and hear the beauties and natural
advantages OF the lovely and rich
Salmon valley tradncde In the most
reasonable terms The local appli-
cation OF patriotism is at the head of
the category OF qualities that go 10
make a foundation OF character.
The man who does not see good In
his home town and the community
that gives him citizenship should not
be received into full society fellow
ship. The pulpits OF Salmon should
be devoted for one whole year TO this
lesson Of love. The papers should
drop politics and preach the wonders
OF the Salmon paradise. Society
should draw but one class line that
OF true citizenship.
The worst kickers In the Salmon
paradise are those who were born
here and never saw the gloom or felt
the piercing winds of any other land.
The next degree Of this iniquity Il
found In the pioneer who has for
gotten the wet and the winds that
chafed his youthful bare feet, the
billiards. that drove him to The
storm cellar and the thunder that
struck terror TO his heart. He has
forgotten the crop failures that
caused the heart failures Of his par

prone to such disasters.
Let us turn the new leaf and keeT

Why is IL that business principles
are not more generally applied TO the
mining Industry The erroneous idea
seems TO prevail with men Of money
that mines are found and not made
This Is one OF the prejudices that
came down from the days Of prim-
tive methods. Mining may now be
classed as an exact science In its
business relation. Mines are not
found ready made, but they are es-
tablished by the application Of
science and economical management
Just as other great enterprises are
built up.
Al the ready made mines were
discovered In the pioneer days Of
gold. The mines which we're found
and not made upon correct principles
gave the business its had reputation.
There Is no surer investment In the
business world today than making
mine from a good prospect This
fact Is demonstrated 10y the success
OF such men as DcLamar, Dewey,
Finch, Campbell, Sweeney Clark and
other millionaires OF our own state
Not one of these men was a dIscoy-
erer. They all made their fortunes
by the application OF ordinary bust
ness principles to the mining In.
dustry.
The mining business consists Of
selecting prospecting and developing
mines. Prospecting may be said to
involve risks The expenditure re-
quired to determine whether or not a
prospect Is valuable Is very small
compared to the value OF a mine.
Men like Finch and Campbell who
have made more go1d mines than
any other dozen men Ia the state
testimate that 10 per cent of the y ell
selected prospects made mines worth
an average Of $4,000, and the
average cost Of the prospect work to
make these values from mere sur.

The central feature of the Expo

the Hall Of Festivals. The gardens
with their cascades and statuary, and
the elaborate architectural features,
are nearly a half a mile from east to

one million dollars. 1t is the most am

N.RAYS AND DIGESTION.
This Process Causes Their Emission, as
Does Muscular Activity.

This Process Causes Their Emission, az
Does Muscular Activity.
That the processes of digestion, as
well as mental and muscular activity,
seem to cause the emission of N-rays,
is the conclusion reached by NJ. Lam
bert, in France, after a series Of inter-
esting experiments. He believes that
these curious rays are produced by
ferments, especially by those con-
cerned in the digestion of albuminoid
matter. In his experiments on diges-
ton, says a writer in Harper's Week
ly, M. Lambert placed small quantity
of fibrin in tubes containing in one
case activated pancreatic juice. and
in another artificial gastric juice made
by mixing five per cent. solution of
pepsin with a four per cent. solution
of hydrochloric acid. Fr~ these
tubes the N-rays were eD Il, and
were detected not only by producing
increased luminescence of phos-
phorescent screen, but also photo
graphically, thus removing the sub
jectiye element from the experiment.
AS a result of these experiments, NJ.
Lambert believes that in the course
of digestion the fibrin undergoes
strains which act to produce N-rays.
