The appointment of E. R. Day
ley, of Parker, as deputy sheriff,
will give particular satisfaction to
the people of the county. Mr.. Day
lev was a candidate for the nomi-
nation of sheriff, but delegates
felt that Mr.. Corey's experience
and services should be recognized,
although acknowledging the fitness
of Mr.. Dayley for the position.
Where an officer can serve but one
term he should bring to the othce
experience, knowledge of the coun-
try and people, as we'll as nerve
and ability, and the logical course
is to let the deputy succeed to the
Office.

The Peak-Chronicle last week
stated that the only changes in
county officers would be the sheriff
and assessor. entirely forgetting
that Albert Heath succeeded Lee
Borrows as treasurer. In visiting
the court house one is never re-
minded that the county has treas
urer, as no one is there in evidence.
Mr.. Borrows retires from the offlc-
ial family with the kindest regards
of all his associates and the public
who have met him in an oficia,
way, with commendable record O
courtesy and fidelity. Mr.. Heath
his successor, needs no recommend
alton, and will doubtless be
worthy successor.

this disease in control, vet not so
much has been accomplished as
was hoped. After a careful con-
sideration of this question. l am
forced to the conclusion that the
best interests of the great livestock
industry of Idaho. as we'll as econ
omy, demand that the law creating
the Office of sheep inspector be
repealed and the Office of state
veterinarian created. with control
over all diseases among domestic
animals.
Reduce Interest on Farm Loans.
Our statute provides that the
rate of interest on school monevs
loaned on farms shall be 7 per cent,
and that the amount shall not be
over one-third of their actual val
uation without the improvements.
With the statute strictly complied
with there can be no better class of
securities than such loans, and l
see no good reason why the farmer
who is asked to give such security
is not entitled to as favorable
rate of interest as other state loans,
which is usually 5 per cent. I
therefore recommend that the inter-
est be reduced from 7 to 5 per cent.
Party Pledges Must be Kept.
The Republican party stands
pledged to the people of Idaho to
pass law at this session that will
give the state and the counties
every penny of interest earned by
its money. We have accepted these
obligations and have been made the
instrument to carry into effect the
wishes of the people. 1t is my
duty and pleasure to call your atten-
tion to this pledge. 1t is yours to
act and see that such a bill is pass
ed.
Another pledge to the public
was that the two mile limit law
should be left intact. This, as well
as other pledges, l am satisfied yor
will carry out in this letter.
Discussion during the campaign
disclosed the fact that adultery was
not crime under the statutes o.
Idaho. Such law should bt
passed. I would advise, also, the
passage of law making polygamy
crime Let it be our proud boas
that no state in the Union has bet

Fred Rising has effected a set

tive Insurance Association, and
recovered a portion of his loss
caused by the fire in September
which destroyed his building on
the south side of town. The insur-
ance company refused to pay the
claim in full, claiming that the
stock of second hand goods in the
building was in violation of the
policy. and invalidated it. A com.
promise was agreed on to avoid
taking the matter into court.

the Peak Chronicle is in progress,
and it is expected the number will
issue in about month. No effort
will be spared to present the re-
sources and advantages of the
county in more comprehensive
and forceful way than ever before
attempted. Patrons who have ad-
vertising space are requested to- get
their copy ready SO as not to delay
the number, as under the most
favorable conditions vast amount
of labor is involved. This is the
same editions which we began
work on last year, and all those
who signed contracts for advertis-
ing space at that time are being
considered as advertisers. Any
who wish to change the matter fur.
nished at that time may do so. II
anyone desires to have their former
contract changed or amended II
any way we will be pleased to hear
from you.

Advice TO Young Mon.

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick
or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set OF
books, digging bitches or editing n
paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must
work. II you look around you will
see that the men who are the most
able to live the rest of their days with
out work are men who worked the
hardest Don't be afraid OF killing
yourself with work, my son. Men
cannot work so hard as that on the
sunny side of thirty. They die some
times, but 1t Is because they quit
work at D. m. and don't get home
until 2 a. m. 1t Is the interval that
kills. The work gives you an appe-
title for your meals; 1t lends solldlty
to your slumber; 1t gives you an APP
probation of a holiday. There are
young men who do not work, my son,
but the world Is not proud OF them.
The great busy world does not even
know they are there. So ind out what
you want to be and take Off your coat
and make a dust in the world Tho
buster you are the less deviltry you
will be apt to get into. the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the bet
ter satisfied will the world be with
you.-Robert J. Burdette.

Successful fig raising began in the
Vicinity Of Fresno, Cal. Success dates
from the introduction of the tiny wasp
which secured the polarization of the
blossoms, and without which the trees
had failed to set fruit. The first COM
mercial crops were grown in 1900, the
figs being Of the Smyrna variety,
which Is a distinguished sort of re-
markedly fine quality and appearance
AS grown in California, the variety is
superior In sweetness to the imported
kind, and is as much superior to ordi-
nary figs as the Washington Navel
orange Is to the common oranges. Four
or I'VE years are required from setting
the trees before good-sized crops are
produced, but the industry is making
rapid progress and likely to supply
soon an important part of the fig trade

Apparatus for Washing Smoke.

A embarrassing apparatus is in
successful use In London. 1t Is claim
ed that the apparatus does away with
the necessity for chimneys, as 1t pro-
duces the exact amount of draught re-
quired for complete combustion and
deprives the smoke of its noxious
properties. 1t consists Of an electric
ally-driven fan, which draws the
smoke from the fire and passes IL
into a stream of water, which ex.
tracts the sulphurous and unconsum-
ed particles. 1t works automatically
and only requires that the water in
its lower part should be changed at
regular intervals
