The Canyon county bond cleo
ton last week carried in favor Of
bonding the county to raise
money for the construction Of a
new 100000 court house at
Caldwell, by majority of three
to one. That county is rich and
prosperous, the new court house
is badly needed, and the people
did the right thing by voting for
a building which will be a credit
to the county.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER %. 1905.

The state, through the clerk Of
the land board, has served notice
upon everybody occupying
school sections on the public do
main that they must either get
off or pay rent for the same.
These sections belong to the
public schools and it is but right
that they should get a revenue
from them.

No one familiar with athletics

No one familiar with athletics
will deny their moral and physical
aspects. They are a power for
good in the sense of physical
worth, and are factors in the
making of morality that should
not be underestimated. 1t is a
familiar contention that athletics
have too important place in q
college curriculum, says the Seat
tie Post-IntelIigencer. This is log
ically unsound if educational in
stitutions are to be educational in
the complete sense of that term.
Development is out of harmony
if there is only mental develop
ment. What of the moral stat
ure and the physical parts? Are
they to be neglected? A great
athlete of the old school, who had

The proposition to require
druggists to take out U. S. reve-
nue. license before they be allowed
to sell proprietary medicines
containing large percentages of
alcohol, is all right, but the max
ers Of these nostrums are up in
arms against it and are appeal
ing to the press to publish argu-
ments why this should not be
done. AS they expend large sums
in advertising they are intimat-
ing that such a revenue ruling
would lose the newspapers their
patronage. All right, let the
patronage go. 1t is just that
they should pay as well as other
liquor dealers. Many an inebri-
ate has been made by dosing
stomachs with these tones.

Work OF cross-sectioning the
line of the proposed Boise valley
electric railway has been begun
and it begins to look as if that
road would be built; although
the subscriptions to the stock
asked for by the promoters has
not vet all been taken. Ii Boise
people could only realize what a
benefit this proposed road would
be to the business of that CITY,
and how it would build up in
dustries in the prolific valley it
would traverse, the road would
be built without further delay.
Two years ago an electric line,
paralleling a steam railway, was
built between Spokane and Cnur
d'Alene City. 1t has proved such
a paying investment, and has
been Of such benefit to Spokane,
that now that city is projecting
electric lines to take in towns in
all directions within forty miles.
By all means, Boise should see
to it that the road be built.

The state land board recently
madeselections for the state of a
small amount of timber lands
near Idaho City. Some of the
people up there made a roar
aboutit, claiming that they were
mineral lands and that the pros
pectors were shut out from To-
eating claims upon them. The
board at once released 800 acres
Of these lands upon that claim.
Ii we remember rightly, some big
lumber company took up some
5000 acres OF the choicest of
these lands, and there was never
a kick registered. What are
those people up there thinking
about? Is it not better that the
state get the choice timber lands
for the benefit OF her institutions

We are having delightful
weather for fair time. Sapid
pumpkins, succulent squashes,
fat porkers, well groomed kline
and horses, big apples and lus-
cious fruits, are all out for show
this week along with patch work
quilts, embroidery work and
sweet, chubby faced babies.
Blackfoot had an inning last
week, Boise is having one this,
and Caldwell will have one next,
with Lewiston and other towns
to follow. The farmers faces
are all beaming with pride in
Idaho this year, and well they
may, for it has been a year of
plenty and unusual prosperity
and all of them have seen their
lands advancing in value, with a
bright outlook for the future.

Like so many other relics, doubt
has sometimes been cast on the au-
thenticity of the holy table at ST.
John Lateran's, So, vs. the Tablet.
But it would seem as if doubt rest
ed on no stronger foundation than
the mere absence of detailed his
torical proofs. 1t is probable,
though not certain, that the holy
table was brought to Rome by
Empress Helena, together with
the holy cross and other memen-
tos Of the passion, and it is quite
certain that in the tenth century
the table had already been long
preserved in st. Johns. 1t used
to be kept at the high altar,
whence it was transferred in the
tenth century to the chapel of st.
Thomas, and from there in the
eighteenth century to the loggia in
the apse, until it was finally
moved by Plus TX. to its present
shrine over the altar of the blessed
sacrament. The table Tor rather
the large part of it which is still
preserved) is Of cedar; it meas
ures about five feet square and is
over an inch in thickness.

Revealed by Death.

life is perfected by DEATH" and II
is also revealed. A story told In the
Life Of Sir Richard Burton" Illus
trates the clearness with which death
reveals q man to his comrades.
A lieutenant In q British regiment
was honest, steady, quiet and full of
sterling qualities, but he was dull, re-
served and religiously inclined. His
brother officers laughed at him and as.
ISOLATED but little with him. Though
we'll born, lie was poor and had no
powerful friends. He therefore re-
NAMED without promotion or society,
but he never complained and did his
best.
A battery was to be taken in the
Crimea, and the l'eutenant's regiment
was selected as the storming party. 1t
assaulted and was driven back. The
lieutenant rallied his own company
and with laugh flung his shake be-
fore him and rushed through the
breach into the battery, followed by a
handful of men. They never came out
again.
That night at the regimental mess
there was not man but regretted that
he had not better understood the officer
whose gallant death had revealed his
superiority. All remembered a thou
sand good qualities and incidents
which ought to have endeared him to
them. They were ashamed of the con-
tempt with which they had treated
him and of the fact that they had
never shown him the least kindness.

EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.
In Some Cases 1t Is stimulating and
In Others Narcotic.

IN others Narcotic.
Whether or not tobacco is stimu-
liant has been vexed question ever
since the time Of Oviedo, the first
writer to describe it fully, who says
that the Indians of Hispaniola used to-
bacco to produce insensibility, whereas
others among the old Spanish discov-
erers say that the natives smoked to
stimulate themselves to fresh exertions
Men whose business leads to expo
sure to weather or to violent physical
exercise, such as sailors, soldiers.
watchmen, nayyies and field laborers,
all take tobacco as O stlmulapt and
have done so from the first. u
These classes are mentioned as spe-
cially large consumers Of the weed In
DR.. Everard's "Panacea," published In
1859. Hobbies and Newton both used
tobacco to stimulate. Goethe and Heine
hated It, Scott smoked profusely: but
according to Mr.. Trelawney, Byron
never smoked pipe or cigar"
Modern experience and observation
seem to indicate that tobacco is a stim-
ulant in moderation and q narcotic In
excess, In this respect resembling all
other intoxicants. using the term In Its
widest sense, from tea to opium.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Although Called n TideIeks Sen, Its
Water Rises and Falls.

Why are there no tides In the Medi
terranean? asks reader. AS a mat
ter of fact. there are tides In the Medi.
terranean. The general rise and fall
are, however, so Insignificant. owing to
the comparatively small area and the
mass Of water involved, as to have
escaped detection until scientific meth
dds were brought to bear, and hence
the Mediterranean has come popular
ly TO be looked upon as tideless sea.
A similar want of knowledge and ex-
perience Of tidal phenomena cost
Caesar the loss of most of his feet on
his invasion of Britain In So B. c..
when his vessels were dashed to pieces
upon the coast.
At Algiers self recording tide
gauge was set up by Anne, and from
Its records he deduced q rise and fall
Of lightweight milllmeters. or three
and one-haif inches, at springtide
and half that amount at neap tide
6uctuation which would escape ordi-
nary observation, as 1t would be mask
ed by the effects Of atmospheric dis
turbance.
At Venice and In the upper reaches
Of the Adriatic the true lunisolar tide
seems to be more accentuated than at
other parts. but here also its effects
are subordinate to those of the wind.

When comparisons are made between

Our growth, our wealth, our industries,
our resources, our energy, all make
fattering comparison with average Eu-

making such comparisons there is no
one thing of which we have the right
to be more proud than Of the congress
OF the United States. Better than any
continental parliament, 1t represents
the people. The one legislative body Of
the world that Is In any way compare
BILE to ours is the parliament Of Great
Britain. In character, intellect, meth

with which each represents the people
the British parliament and the United
States congress stand In q class quite
apart and above any Of the parliaments

Wilkinson, the historian, shows thai
the world is indebted for mirrors to
the ancient Egyptians. At first they
were made of metal. so well compound
ed and polished that some recently dug
up from Thebes have regained a Won
derful luster after buriaifor thousands
OF years. OVAL in shape, they were
fastened to carved wooden handles.
References are made to such looking
glasses In Exodus and Job. The Greeks
and Romans made similar mirrors Of
silver.
At Murano, near Venice. In the thir.
teenth century he republic protected
the trade and jealousy guarded its Sc

Total abstinence pledges, prohibition
laws, the exhibition Of "horrible ex-
amples" and the preaching Of intern
perance as sin have had great infiu-
ence In lettering men from drinking,
but the social sentiment against intem-
perance as an imprudence has accom-
plished far more, says New York
newspaper. Drunkenness has become
disreputable or Is looked on as de-
plorable disease. People are more SEN
sible. The strain Of modern social con-
ditIons, 1t has been found, compels So
