Dollar With Oh It

Ten years ago, an exchange says,
a farmer put an K mark on a silver
dollar and went to town and spent it
with the merchant. Before the year
vas out he got the marked dollar
back again for poultry and spent it
again with the village merchant.
Four times in six years that dollar
came home to him for produce, and
three times he heard of it in the
pockets of his neighbors.
The time he got it in change
three years ago, he sent it to a mail
order house that has amassed mill
ions of dollars selling third-rate
stuff. He has never seen that dol
lar since.
That dollar viii lever pay any
more road or school tax for him,
never help to build up the town or
county, never bless and brighten
the homes of his n~eighbors. He
sent it entirely out of the circle of
usefulness to him.

C. E. Wood, lessee of the Farm
ers Grain Company, Ltd, has now
definitely decided to transfer hay
over the tramway provided the bales
will not weigh over one hundred
pounds. This will give the farmers
of this prairie 4 new industry and a
very profitable one, as it does away
with the excessive expenses other
wise connected with the harvesting
of grain. If w take a. a basis the
average yield of hay and grain per
acre on this prairie, there is more
clear profit in hay at four dollars
per ton than wheat at fifty cents per
bushel. Within the last several
years hay found a very easy market
on the coast and the prices offered
would justify US receiving more than
double the amount per ton mentioned
Grass hay is more valuable
Tor shipment than grain hay. The
difference in price is generally from
to three dollars more per ton.

Boise Statesman Representatives
of several of the Mississippi valley
states have sought to secure car
loads of Idaho grain in the shcaf to
place in their displays at the worlds

display of grains eclipses anything

that it is recognized as a fact that
no other state can hope to approach
it.

"What shall we do with our
streets2" is the query that agitates
the minds of our citizens this spring.
There are several ways whereby the
present deplorable condition of our
main thoroughfares might be rem

system to take off what surplus
water may fall during any season of
the year. This can be accomplished
b. digging bitches from east to west
along the different This
would take off all surplus water,
which now runs down Pine, Oak and
Maple streets, standing in some
PAGES q foot deep and remaining
green and stagnant during the sum-
mer, breeding disease and pestilence.
A ditch might also be started on the
city property in the north part of
town and follow the natural water
course to a point back of the Christ
j a church. This would drain all
surplus water which accumulates in
that section. If improvements of a
more permanent nature are desired,
such as macadam streets, then it
will be necessary to bond for a term
Of years or levy a direct tax on the
property affected by the improve

The census bureau now "esti-
mates that Idaho has 1885, 900 pop
ulation, against 161,772 in 1900.
The present estimates are said to be
iased on the same ratio of increase
as in the preceding decade which in
Idaho's case was 83 per cent, max
ing her population now 215 900.
But Idaho is now growing faster
than ever before and the population
is now probably 100000. Still, the
only way to take a census is to count
the people.-Tribune.

city is put to any expense whatever.
The best way to get an expression
on this subject would be to call a
mass convention of the citizens and
then let them decide whether they
want the streets improved and by
what method. In this manner the
subject of street improvement would
be up to the people, who pay the
bills and by rights should voice their
sentiments in this matter.

The action of the city fathers in
ordering the town cleaned up is \
wise one. More than one case of
typhoid fever last year was directly
traceable to the filth which had
accumulated in places during past
years. A thorough cleaning up will
save doctor bills and also add to the
attractiveness of our little city.

A lawyer in 4 court room may call
= man 4 liar, a scoundrel, william or
thief, and no one makes a complaint
when court adjouns. If a news
paper prints such reflections on a
mans character there is a libel suit
or a dead editor. This is owing to
the fact that people believe what an
editor says; what alawyer says cuts

turned from St. Louis. He state
the Idaho agricultural exhibit is al
in place and, under the direction 0
Commissioner NJ. J. Vessels, it ha:
been made wonderfully attractive
1t is the sensation of the agricultur
al building and those representing
other states continually gather about
1t to admire. They even carry of
the straw that is thrown aside.
Mr.. Walker states that the horti-
cultural exhibit is not yet in place
it being desired to keep the fruit
in cold storage until the last
moment. 1t will all be placed, how
ever. before the opening day. The
fruit is in fine condition. Mr..
Walker went with Mr. Wessles to
make an inspection of it and found
it had kept perfectly.
The Idaho building was completed
before Mr. Walker left, with the ex-
ception of some painting. 1t makes
a very good effect and is much ad-
mired by the exposition officials and
visitors.
Mr.. Walker said the Idaho horti-
cultural exhibit was splendidly
placed. The space set aside for
the display of honey was absolutely
the best in the building and this ex-
hibit was certain to attract the at
tention Of every visitor.
The word Idaho" worked in
grains in imitation Of rustic letters
with a black background was, Mr..
Walker stated, one of the most
striking features of the agricultural
exhibit. Mrs. Wessles designed
the letters and worked them out ac-
cording to her own idea with splen-
did results.
Mr.. Walker predicted that the
Idaho agricultural exhibit would
come dangerously near the blue rib
bon. Casting aside all projudices
favor of the state, he said the
showing of Idaho grains was far
superior to any other.
The mineral exhibit from this
tate is already attracting a great
Zeal Of favorable attention. Com
missioner Mcbride and NJ. B. Nc
Glenn were, MI. Walker said, work
ng like beavers to secure the best
'ossible effect. They we're con-
surrounded by a curious
rowd and had to answer a great
lany questions. The magnificent
pecimens of silver-lead ore caught
he fancy of the visitors as did also
ne ores in which the gold is visible.
Considering the Insignificant ap-
reputation at the command Of the
iaho commissioners, Mr.. Walker :
aid the showing made a remark
Die. Colorado and California,

had brought in ores by the {
lrload and made a great spread,
