The Leap Year

The ladies of Blackfoot gave a
very enjoyable leap year ball last
Friday night at the opera house,
which was we'll attended. Samm' s
.ofchestfas sfxrnished the music and
all went merry. siSse ,.adies open
ed up all the windows and sorffe
of the doors, and with fine
breeze flowing through the house
they proceeded to exercise their
guests and to delight them. No
ggentleman was permitted to be a
4'wall flower if he were half wills
ing to dance, and the oysters
served at the Model Restaurant
at 1890 were another evidence of
the hospitality of the entertainers.
All the gentlemen think more of
their lady friends now than they
did, or at least their appreciation is
more firmly established. 1t will
be long time before they will
have another dance of this kind.

Miss Scott to Move

The building committee consist
ing of the governor, secretary of
state and treasurer held their first
meeting Wednesday morning to
provide a room for the superin-
tendent Of public instruction. The
business of the state has grown to
such proportions that the capitol
building is wholly inadequate to
supply the needs of the officials.
During the past two years many
of the officials have had to occupy
committee rooms. which they now
have to vacate for the members of
the Legislature and to double up.
One of those who has had to va
cate their office is Miss Scott, the
superintendent of public instruc-
tion.e The building committee
met and authorized her to rent
suite of rooms down town and this
she will probably do. While
none have yet been settled upon it
is likely she will take rooms in the.
Merlno building. Capitol News.

nected with the agricultural de-
partment of the national govern
ment, and DR.. A. D. Melvin, as
sistant chief of the bureau, are in

mittee from the Wool Growers

ers association, regarding a bill
to be introduced in the present
Legislature regarding the Infection
Of animals III idaho.
The diseases which cause the
greatest amount Of trouble in
Idaho is the scab among sheep and
mango among the horses. Tho
federal authorities have been
asked by the various stock grow
ing industries in this state to take
charge of the work. The two
gentlemen are here now for the
purpose Of consulting with the sew
eral committees in having bill
passed which will helpsin enforcing
the inspection of diseased animals
with the hope that the disease
may be entirely wiped out.
ssIf the state will pass a good
law we will step in and help the
state authorities enforce it, said
Colonel Hickock this morning In
speaking of his visit. s'lf It
doesn't, | can't say what the gov
, ernment will do. If the diseases
become too prevalent, all we
could do would be to quarantine
i the state, but that would be .
drastic measure. 4 am III hopes
the legislature will pass asuitable
law, one which can be enforced" !"

Saves it All

Success has attended the efforts
of Charles O. MichaeIson, OF SAT-
Lake, in mis- endeavor to invent
a free gold saver aud concentrator
to be used in saving the flour gold
from the sands OF the Snake river,
and districts of like character
knowing that laucA of the black
sand of the Snake river contained
good gold values, Mr.. MichaoIson
began work four years ago on q
machine to do the work, After
many tests and changes he has
invented a machine which not
saves the gold, but concentrates
the sands that carry values.
, The dirt is fed into the hopper,
generally, direct from a h0me'
and in passing from the hopper 1t
is we'll cleaned before coming IN
contact with the amalgam plates
where all the free gold is caught
The machines may be built for
from six to twelve plates, 24X30
inches, aud will handle from 5oI
to 1000 yards of dirt per day,
provided the large boulders and
heavy material are extracted
which may be accomplished b,
passing the sand over grizzlies
From the plates the sand passes
on to the concentrating section o
the machine. The table or tables
here have three independent mo
tions, a longitudinal, cross mo
ton and swivel motion. LII
machine is SO built that either tn
gold saver or concentrator may o
operated independent of eac
other and as separate machines
1t is practically automatic IN oPei

As to That,

When seated in your office chair
Behind a massive door
It's very easy to declare
That you will tip no more
But when ii comes the time TO sup
You very quickly pony up"
To push great reform ahead
And play the martyrs role
Is easy when you lie in bed
tOmmuning with yo'-r soul,
But when you're up -ainst the goods
It's little George to the woods.
OF course the tipping deal is wrong
You pay for what you get,
But when you come to bear down strong
With purpose firmly set.
Your resolution mclts away
And like Il little man YOU pay.
You know that you can make your point
And save Il lot of tips
BY dining at ten cent joint
Where walters hand you slips,
But creditors might see you there
And think your claim to wealth hot air
But. really. is it such Il crime
Or such Il great expense
To hand the man who waits a dino
Or even thirty cents?
And h" may need the modest tip
To buy railroad or a ship.

Conditions of Divine Peace.


You must obey Gods laws before you
can enjoy Gods peace. To resist them,
to dsobey him, is to set yourself
against omnipotent power and infinite
wisdom. 1t is not necessary that God
should punish you for it; you bring the
punishment on yourself in failure and
disappointment and eternal wreck Your
whole nature is given over to anarchy
and lawlessness. Only as you yield to
his will do you put yourself in line
with the eternal order and enter into
peace, | do not care how much you
may think your way is better than
Gods ways. one fact you must under
stand-you cannot get the divine peace,
which is like river. unless you bring
yourself into harmony with Gods laws
and obey Gods commandments.-R
DR.. Frank De Witt Talmage presby-
terrain, Los Angeles. Cal.
LIES Rewards
Next to the joy of work lies the CON
sideration of the rewards of work. No
man wants to do a good piece of work
and be needless of the results to him
or to others Of his work Every man
| is born unto some task; there is no es-
Gaping it. There are but two great re-
wards-one the effect of our life on us,
the sum total of its results in soul and
body, to be what we are, to know our
i selves as such and find no turn by
which which we can escape. This is
the great reward; it is also the dread
| full punishment The other is to know
what we have done TO others. to reckon
up our influence on the world This is
the most blessed of all rewards. 1t is
the answer to that great wish of George
Eliot's, Il may join the choir invisible
of lives made better by my living

Chri.t's Conquest by Love.

The conqucStS of Rome were won by
brute force. while the conqueSts of the
Christ are wrought by love. The Cos

life not by coercion, Eot by breaking III

which are mighty in their very still
