are continued in successive admins
tratisns posterity will bless those
who originated and perfected the plan.
But like many other good things this
wise provision has been carried to
extremes in the northern part of tho
state-provided that the proposed
reserves are actually confirmed by the
department having the matter in
charge. A reasonable extent of for
est lands could, and should, be re-
served in the panhandle of Idaho, but
a full examination of the subject
will convince almost any person that
the area now planned is entirely too
great and should be considerably
modified. =
The Wood River Times sends the
following report:
The Rev. 9. e. Helman of Cald-
we'll, superintendent of the anti
saloon league of Idaho, is visiting
Wood River to organize local
leagues. He has organized one in
Ketchum, is now ON Camas Prairie to
organize another, and will return to
HALEY this week to organize one here
and in Bellevue. Next Monday he
will organize league in Carey, and
may organize one in Picabo on his
way out to other parts.
"Our object said Mr.. Holman
last night, els to organize the anti
saloon element 80 as to secure the
passage by the next legislature of
local option law. To this end the
anti-saloon league is organized re-
gardless of religious or political be-
lief. Upon the state board we have
two members of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union, two Presby-
terians, two Methodists, two Norm
ons, and SO on. By organizing as we
are doing we expect to be able to Sc
cure the passage, by the next legislat-
ure, of a local option law. At the
last session we appeared beggars at
the next session we expect to be
strong enough to secure the enact
ment of the law we want. Although
we lacked organization we secured a
vote of % to 27 at the last session; 80
we are quite confident of success at
the next.
And so Mormons are all right to
politic with.

The Common Schools.

We suspect that we said something
last week which might be misunder~
stood. Speaking of the common
school professors there was no inten-
tion to disparage the positions in life
which many of them come to occupy,
nor was there any intention to be-
little their natural ability as class.
What we meant to convey was that
the thing popularity called "higher
education does not seem to very
much help the common run of men in
the struggle for existance. A man
who knows the dead languages and
the higher mathematics is not too good
to farm, but when we find that not
withstanding that knowledge he is
obliged to farm or suffer depriva-
tion, we are apt to think that that
man would be much better off if he
had spent less time on the "higher
education" and more time digging
bitches and planting potatoes. They
dc tell us, though, that the more
toplofty ones education is the better
he can do even those things. That is
fine theory but it isn't worth ten
cents on the dollar in practice. A
knowledge of the dead languages has
about the same relation to practical
farming that digging post holes has
to reading Latin.
The tendency of the common
schools is more and more to ape the
colleges, and for this parents as we'll
as teachers are responsible. Parents,
proud of their offspring and ambi
tious for their exaltation, but unable
to send them to college, seek to OBJ
tain for them the advantages of a
college training in the common
schools. And teachers in the COM
mon schools, more or less envious of
their fellows in the college, en-
courage parents to do this by adding
to the legitimate common school
work high school course that bears
very close resemblance to the
college curriculum. Thus the COM
mon school, instead of being step
ping stone to the college, becomes its
most destructive rival, because it as
sumes to provide free equivalent.
Moreover, it issues just as good Ger
tificate of learning, with just as
much pomp and blue ribbon, as the
average college. But it is all
substitute, and a very weak one at
that, and in order to establish and
maintain it the legitimate work of
the common school is being slurred
over and slighted. AS the super
structure of common school education
increases in guadiness, the founda-
tion decreases in solidity. The
whole thing is becoming fiimsy and
topheavy and, some of these days, an
aroused pubic sentiment will topple
it over and call for new deal.

Caldwell, Idaho, June 6, 1895.
I do not see how can express my
sentiments concerning the article ap
pearing in the Boise Statesman (date
Of May 18th, 19O5) relative to right
of way in the Deer Flat reservoir,
without the same being misconstrued
by one, and perhaps both sides to
the affair.
In the light of the public record of
Mr.. II. A. Partridge in the work of
securing maximum irrigation advant-
ages for this section of the arid west,
work that is not confined to his
active and substantial efforts in be-
balf of the Payette- Boise project but
includes the Nampa- Meridian Dis
trict promotion and other meritorious
enterprises as we'll, he eau not be
Justly charged with attempting to
servo private interests.
Regarding the $40 acres Of land
owned in the site by H. A. Partridge,
Vice President of the Association,
will say that the only time talked
with him in regard to his land was
On May 18th over the Phone asking
II he would be home the next day to
make arrangements to turn over his
lan1.
lie informed me that he had made
arrangements to leave on the even
ing train to be gone several days.
mere was nothing in our couversa-
ZION to lead me to believe that he
would not make satisfactory and just
arrangements in regard to turning
OVer his land for the reservoir site.
Further | wish to state that when
sne lands were bought on Feb. I'd
p'u not myself know they we're in the
.0'erVolr site, nor for some time af

AVAILABILITY.
One Need Be Neither Weak Nor Stupid
to Have This Quality.


BY a process of false reasoning ami.
ability has been connected both colo
quially and in writing with weakness
and stupidity. Strength and ability in
sure it to no one; consequently, says
that hasty judge, the public, it usually
exists without them. Nothing was ever
more untrue. Stupid people and weak
people may be-they very seldom are
amiable by nature, but they are the
only people for whom it is nearly i'm
possible to cultivate amiability. 1t is
very difficult for really weak man
to be sweet tempered.
The first thing which the person who
desires to be amiable must determine
to do is never to produce fear among
his own surrounding-tO be willing, in
a social sense, to let every one off, so
that no one regrets too bitterly having
said foolish or i'll judged thing be-
fore him, but comforts himself with the
thought that it is forgotten; never,
that is to lower any one in his own es-
TEEN. The second is not to differ about
matters of no Importance, not to debase
sincerity into contradictoriness, and not
to set for other people standard
which 1t Is unreasonable to suppose,
from previous experience Of their char
acters, that they will ever reach. The
third is never to let his good principle
interfere with some one else's harmless
privilege, to remember that praise is
positive necessity to the spiritual and
mental development Of the young, and
that injudicious blame acts as blight.

THE MAD DOG FALlACY.

with Some suggestions on How to
Treat Bite.
In all my own experience with dogs
I have not only never seen q mad
dog" but have never known a dog
owner--and by that mean man who
has had experience in keeping dogs
who has seen one. If, then, rabies is
so exceedingly scarce, hydrophobia be-
comes really an impossibility, and the
fear Of 1t should be dismissed without
a thought.
A person may get dog bitten; but, in
the language Of the New York tough,
Forget It," If it is bad bite 1t may
twitch later on, and you may begin
worrying, so it is a good plan to get
rid of the twitching or throbbing in
order to forget. l have been bitten SO
often that l think no more Of 1t than
a mosquito bite, and this is what / do:
If it is ON the hand l put 1t under
the faucet and wash thoroughly, with
the object Of cleaning the wound and
preventing Inflammation from any dirt
or foreign substance While doing this
some one is getting the bicarbOnate
of soda and some clean rags or lint.
With water cream paste Of the soda
Is made sufficient to plaster the wound
well; then, putting some on a rag, 1t is
applied to the wound and bound up.
If In the course Of an hour or more
the application seems to be drying, a
little water is poured on the bandage
to soak through to the soda or the
hand dipped In water-James Watson

Flying Fish.

Flying fish are very voracious. In
their turn they are preyed upon by
barracudas, sharks, dolphins, billfsh,
reddish and hundred and one others.
Nature has colored the flying fish pro-
tectively. The back is deep blue,
merging into the blue Of the seas they
frequent, so that they are Invisible a
few feet below the surface, while the
underneath is a dazzling white, and to
fish that looks upward must merge
into the light falling on the sea. In ad-
dition they possess the unique power
of flight. Flying fish are about seven
inches long, and the spread Of wings
Is about equal to their length. The
"wing" is Of thin, gauzy substance,
having stiffening sinews, like the fiber
Of a leaf, to strengthen 1t.

HOW TO SUCCEED.
When You Go to Work Take the
Whole Man to the Task.

When You Go to Work Take the
Whole Man to the Task.
Only fresh, spontaneous work really
counts. If you have to drive yourself
to your task, If you have to drag your
self to your work every morning be-
cause Of exhausted vitality, If you feel
tagged or worn out, If there Is no elas-
ticity in your step or movements, your
work will partake Of your weakness.
Make 1t rule to 60 to your work ev-
cry morning fresh and vigorous. You
cannot afford to take hold Of the task
upon which your life's success rests
with the tips Of your fingers. You can
not afford to bring only fraction OF
yourself to your work. You want to go
to it whole man, fresh, strong and
vigorous, so that it will be spOntane-
Gus, not forced; buOyant, not heavy.
You want to go to your work with Gre
alive energy and originality-possessed
of a strong, powerful individuality. Ii
you go to it with jaded faculties and
sense of lassitude after nights dissi-
patton or loss Of sleep, 1t will ineyita-
bly, suffer. Everything you do will
bear the impress of weakness, and
there is no success or satisfaction In
weakness.
This is just where great many peo-
pie fail-in not bringing all OF them
selves to their task. The man who
goes to his task with debilitated energy
and low vitality, with all of his stand
ards down and his ideals tagging, with
q wavering mind and uncertain step,
Will never produce anything worth
while.-Success.

Fairy Rings.

Probably we have all seen In the
fields or on the edge Of the woods that
circle called the fairy ring. Before
fairy folk came to be doubted 1t was
firmly believed these rings were the
dancing ground of the fairies. In the
moonlight the spirits danced, wearing
down the grass under their feet. At
least so our grandfathers said, but We
must take sciences simple explanation
of it. A fungous plant will soon exhaust
all the fungous food from the soil be-
meath it, so that only the spores which
fall outside this barren spot will take
root and flourish. So the ring is always
widening outward, forming perfect
circle unless something interferes with
1t. The rings are abundant in wet
weather, of buff color or reddish

TIGER HUNTING.
Luring the Fierce Animals BY Imf-
tating q Monkey.

1
| tating a Monkey.
To call tiger the proceeding was as
follows: The mikir, having first ascer-
tanned that tiger was in the neighbor-
hood, would climb into well branch
! ed, leafy tree situated near where he
supposed the tiger to be, and after hid
! Ing himself among the branches as best
he could would commence to initiate
the chattering Of monkey and break
and drop twigs in the way that mon
keys do.
Then he would let fall to the ground
bundle Of rags weighted so that the
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as If baby monkey had tum-
bled down from the tree, and at the
same time would initiate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be the
supreme moment, for If a tiger were
near it would often spring out In the
hope Of swapping up such dainty
morsel as young monkey, and then a
bullet from the gun Of the hidden mikir
might find it's billet in the tigers body.
By this means the mikir was said to
have killed considerable number of
tigers, and certainly the mans power
of mimicry was wonderfully good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
different nature, the sound initiated be-
ing the cry Of fawn, and as this cry
sometimes attracted tigers, too, 1t had
to be adopted with caution, because it
was used only in open grass land, from
which the caller would not have had
much chance to escape were a tiger
suddenly to put in an appearance

In discussing whether or not trout
hear correspondent Of the Amateur

his opinion their sensitiveness to ap-

vibration Of the earth along the stream

water. Thus persons standing perfect

The Lilac.

Like the tulip, the lilac is believed to
have come westward from Persia via
Turkey In the sixteenth century. Its
name is Persian. In the English Ian
guage the color Is called after the tree,
but the tree originally received Its
name from Its color since 1t is clearly
traceable to certain Persian and San
skirt adjectives meaning "blue" or sin
digo colored." The "lilaj" Of Persia
was the indigo plant. Probably the
first mention of the lilac In English Is
in Bacon's essay on gardens. He ia
vored the spelling "lelacke."
