More Ferry Privileges

Commodore Kluth got his
new stock boat into running
order Tuesday and took over
four big loaded wagons to
the Agency for Herb Palmer,
the first thing, at one
trip. The new boat, which is
a scow, will lie propelled by the
Star, and has capacity for six
loaded wagons or about fifty head
of cattle.
The Press has heretofore stated
that MIR. Kluth had also built Il
new gasoline launch during the
winter. The engine for the same
arrived Tuesday. 1t has screw
propeller, and the boat has a ca
pacity for Is to 20 persons.
This now gives us two gasoline
launches and largely increased
ferryboat, for stock as we'll as
other freight.
Thus our ferry privileges are
improving as time goes by.

eight page newspaper. and gives
evidence of liberal support by
the residents Of the place. The
following item from it's columns
gives the name of another ex-For-

mining district of Yorkshire, where
General Booth, at that time Rev. WI

pecting to jump into the Russo-Turkisn

might attract crowd by issuing dec

one forthwith, sprinkled 1t plentifullS
with halleluiahs and posted 1000 copies

Great Is Idaho.

Goodwin's Weekly, in recent is
sue, looks into the future and sees
great things for Idaho. 1t says:
Utah will have to look to her
laurels. or she will be left far behlud
by Idaho as an agricultural state
Only little of this state can be put
under cultivation at best, only lit
tie of that amount is at present I'M
der cultivation. Idaho is beginning
10 talk of retaining her land by the
million acres as though 1t was mere
ly matter of course. Idaho has
two very great advantages over any
other of these intermountain states
She has a great deal of land conven
lent to two or three great rivers; then
much of her land is 1000 feet lower
in altitude than the> average valley
land in surrounding states, making
her crops, especially her fruits, more
certain of bringing return for work
When Idaho succeeds in reclaimins
all her land that is possible to re
claim, she will have more land unde-
cultivation than all New England
has, more than the total area o
Vermont, Massachusetts, Connectl
cut and Rhode Island. And sh
will still be one of the great minin

Sailing BABIES.


y Cruel CuDtoN That Bt1lt 1<tvoo n |
Parts of Europe and Asia.
In certain localities in Europe and
Asia the people still adhere to the ex-
ceedingly curious custom Of sailing
newborn babies, notwithstanding its
cruelty and danger. The method va
ries with the differing nationalities Of
the people using It
The Armenians Of Russia cover the
entire skin OF the infant with very
fine salt, taking great care that the salt
reaches all the spaces between the fin
gers and toes and tho depressions In
the body, such as the armpits and the
hollows under the knees, for not spot
Of the surface of the child must remain
untouched by the salt. The salt is left
on the baby for three hours or more
and then washed of with warm water.
A mountain tribe of Asia Minor Is
even more merciless than the Arme-
mans. They keep their newborn ba-
bies covered with salt for twenty-four
hours. The modern Greeks sprinkle
their babies with salt, and even In
some parts Of Germany salt Is still
used on child at birth, but In much
more humane manner, by rubbing q
| little behind the ears or by placing q
pinch Of salt on the tongue or by filling
little paper with salt and placing II
under the garment. The mothers I'm
agine that this will give their children
health and strength and keep the evi
spirits away from them.
This custom, when carried to excess
is cruel, the salt infaming the ski
and sometimes causing such intolera
BILE fortunes that the child dies In con
yulsions, but the ignorant and super
stitious mother, believing that the salt
ing process hardens the child, tina
without it the babe could not grow u
into a healthy man or woman, harden
her heart to its cruelties.
1t is not known definitely how tn
, odd custom originated, but probabl
some ancient innovator, observing II
preservative power of salt in keepin
: meat sound, reasoned that 1t would
t good thing to salt down young babe
for few hours and thus impart som
thing of the strengthening and pr
: serving qualities of the salt to the pur
e offspring of man.
