If there is the slightest doubt in the

the fact that rabbit inoculated with

FOR PATRON SAINT
Irishmen of Country Observe the
Anniversary of St. Pat
rick Today.
REVERENCE FOR HIS MEMORY
Gains in Grace and Christianity
Through His Influence in
Early History.

Today is an anniversary which
brings a warm thrill to every true
Irish heart. Although the history OF
lreland's patron saint is lost and
merged in the mist and legends of
tradition, that he existed. that he left
an imprint upon history which will
not be effaced and occupies a place in
the affection of the people he lived
and labored among none other can
ever fill, goes without saying In the
folklore of Ireland he is the most
prominent figure.
Through the power of his eloquence
Ireland gained in grace and Christian
ity and through his puissant crozier
the snakes and frogs and creeping
things were banished from the Emer-
aid Isle. If they have returned it u
because those of later day lacked
St. Patrick's power. In the shamrock
he found illustration of the Holy Trim
ity, the three in one. which did much
to clear away the clouds of unbelief
and paganism. Though 'the harp that
once thro Tara's halls" is stilled,
the fragrant memory of the good old
saint will never fade.
First History of the Saint.
The first dim history of st. Patrick
dates All A. D.. when the Scots and
he Picts fell upon the Roman camps
near Solway in Britain and carried
him off with a multitude of prisoners.
He was taken to Ireland and sold as
slave. He was held in bondage at
the hardest work. He escaped from
his captors and finally made his way
TO Killada bay, the inlets of which
were a favorable resort for sea rovers.
On one of these vessels he was TAX
en- to continental Europe and is heard
Of in France, Italy and on an island in
the Mediterranean. st. Patrick came
of a churchy race and was imbued
with a desire TO spread abroad the
Gospel and teachings he had learned.

make up the deficiency in the fund
for the carrying forward of the park
improvements, it having been found
that there will have to be alterations
in the original plans unless there is
forthcoming more finances.
Some of the followers of the sport
have suggested to President n II.

cursions during the season to cities
to remove from Rock Island that can

Selling Timber.
(Boise Statesman.)


The forestry bureau has received an
offer of $3.50 per thousand for co.
100000 feet of lodge pole pine and
spruce from the Big Horn reserve. 1t
will advertise for bids, and. If none
higher be received, the offer will be
accepted.
This timber is to be cut under the
regulations of the forestry bureau.
None but mature trees will be feled,
and the ground will be cleared in
such a manner as to afford protection
against fire.
Such a sale as that will constitute an
Illustration OF the advantage Of the
forestry system. The government is
much finer timber has brought in this
state Again. the cutting Of the tim
Der will be done under proper regula-
| tions. There is no restriction upon
cutting upon lands owned privately
The lumbermen take everything they
wish and slash most of that which
they do not use. Tops are left piled
on the ground and these constitute fuel
for the flames when a fire starts.
In this state we have one company
that operating on the Boise. which has
offered to place its cutting under the
regulations of the bureau, and this
/ plan will be carried out when the nee
essary authority for 1t can be secured
Probably other companies will do like
wise; but upon reserves 1t is COM
pulsory. Moreover the timbermen get
only that for which they pay; they
! do not have vast quantities of other
| timber thrown in, as has been the
case In some localities
The forest reserve policy will soor
he one of the most popular that the
government has established in the
west. 1t will be most appreciated in
the communities of the west for our
people will soon realize that II is tC
the interest of the state to have the
forests controlled in that manner.

CASE NOW IN DIVORCE COURTS
MeGary Episode Ends in Suit to Set
Aside the Marriage.

Moscow. Idaho. July s.-Mrs. Mamie
McGary has filed in the district cour,
an action for divorce from her husband
J. d. McGary, piano dealer of this
place. The grounds upon which
the action is based are cruel and in
human treatment. and the fact OF her
having Instituted legal proceedings to
have their marriage dissolved came rs
surprise to nearly everyone here fo~
both parties are we'll known. and no
suspicion had been entertained pointing
to that kind Of status Of affairs
Mrs. McGary in her complaint makes
many charges Of cruelty and concludes
with prayer for the dissolution of the
marriage bonds and asks that tho court
award her all the real estate, esti-
mated at about $1,000, and such share
of the personal property. which the
court may seem ut and deem just.

FRUIT RAISING PAYS
Idaho Irrigated Lands Yield Good Re-
turns for Investment.

Emmett, July .S-The Index says:
Those who are not familiar with the
adaptability of this section for fruit
raising would be surprised at the enor-
nous yield and superior quality of the
fruit produced around Emmett There
are also large profits in its production
and number of farmers who have
been raising alfalfa, hay and grain to
a large extent are blowing under their
meadows and putting the land into
fruit. One of these is A. ]. How'd. He
has this year added five acres to his
orchard and next year will increase
his acreage. He says fruit will yield
larger profits than any other crop. He
cites Mr.. Budden as an example. Last
year Mr.. Budden realized over $11O
from one fifth of an acre Of dewberries
or at the rate Of $3.50 per acre. Besides
this, the family had all they desired
for table use and for canning. This is
not an exceptional case. either

DO NOT LIKE ANNEXATION
Pierce City People Not Pleased With
the Present Situation.

Although the people of the Pierce
City district were for the most part
opposed to the annexation OF South
Shoshone county to Nez Perez county
at the time the question was voted on
last fall. says the Pierce City Miner,
there was no considerable amount of
i'll feeling engendered over the result
at that time. The annexation proposed
carried by large majority in the dis
trict affected, and the people Of this
section were satisfied that the majority
should rule, although they, almost I'M
animously. believed the matter was
called up prematurely and that it
would have been better to have re-
mained a part Of Shoshone until such
time as we could demand and secure
a new county. Above all things it was
hoped that the election would settle
the question for some time to come and
that the affairs OF the two counties
would be satisfactorily and speedily
adjusted. Such has not been the case
however. The accountants appointed
W ADJUST the Indebtedness 1alled TO
agree and the matter was taken to the
supreme court and the ruling of that
body cannot fail to cause a great deal
Of dissatisfaction in Nez Perez county.
Money belonging to the school dis
tricts of the annexed portion has been
tied up indefinitely, road supervisors
find that it is impossible to perform the
necessary amount of work to keep the
roads in good shape in this part of the
county with the funds available for
such work in Nez Perez county. and
the status of affairs at present seems
to indicate that there will be long
continued wrangle over this county d.
vision matter yet which will probably
only be settled when the annexed por-
ton is granted the right to form a new
county and assume its own indebted
ness.
