Building Fences Early.

Hon. Fred T. Dubois, was in the
city last week, says the Bellevue
Herald. In going over the political
situation with prominent Democrat
Of this city, Mr.. Arney said that
100000 had been subscribed to have
at least one Democratic paper in ev-
cry county in the state, and that a
daily and weekly paper would be in
stalled in Boise, the first edition of
the weekly to have 5000 paid yearly
subscribers. The Democratic ticket
will be headed by Senator Dubois for
governor, on the anti-Mormon plat
form. It is a sure thing that Senator
Smoot will lose his seat in Washing
ton, and that the prospects for a
Democratic victory were very flatter-
ing. Mr.. Arney was looking very
well and was pleased to meet all his
old friends.

it is not a donation that is asked, it
is only that you aid your sons, if they
haven't the money, to take their pro-

The actual worth of such ''Boy's s

from the influence of gambling and
intoxicating liquors can not be esti-

AS last word: Remember, you
are not asked for donation, it is
only that you cooperate with your
sons in a financial way and help them
take stock in this undertaking, which
if successful, as there is no doubt it
will be, will repay them five fold to
the amount they invest in the same.
Some of the boys are able to carry
their share without aid, and if the
of these that are unable to
do so will assist them the building

Kings man either. We have the re.
sources to justify the organization OF

furnish. We have the young men
we have the horses and we have the
fairgrounds with a track that needs
to be used. Summing it all up, we
might as well have a Young Men s
Riding & Driving Association, and
they can train and test and cultivate
their stock and have lot Of amuse-
ment, too. People who have had ex-
perience at such "meets' say it is
more fun to witness contest by
"home talent'' riders and drivers
than it is to see good races by expert
enced jockeys, and it makes every
young fellow who has pony or plug
that can go some, take an interest in
getting that pony or plug in trim to
go some better. It fills him also with
a wish to get Or raise an animal that
will be just a little better than the
one he has. 1t gets him to studying
horses and the ways Of handling them
to get the best results in every way.
Saturday afternoon contests once a

enjoyed by many people, and the ad-
fees would pay for prizes and
meet other expenses. 1t is common
remark that there is nothing to 60 to

of little merit, and the young people
who want some place to 60, might
get together and provide for some of
their wants by getting up a driving

Tanning Of Fishes.

In proving that fishes can be tanned.
a Swiss physician believes that he has
made an interesting discovery in nat
ural history. He was taking baths for
his health in the Lake of Lugano, and
near the bathing house lived family
of 100 or more loaches. which often
swan into the bath house. TITO tempt
these fishes he sat motionless in the
water for an hour twice daily, holding
a large piece of bread in each hand.
soon the smallest of the loaches ven
tured to nibble at the bread. darting
back at the slightest motion OF the
hand, and day by day these were fol
lowed by older and older fishes until
all came and ate freely and gradually
gained courage, and circled around the
experimenter as he stepped into the
water. At last he could stroke and
handle them. or splash violently with
out disturbing them as they romped
about him.

Safety in Proprietary Medicines.

Replying to the charge that certain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says:
Some years ago one of the leading
pharmacists CT America, in connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain, by an elaborate inquiry in
representative cities of the country,
what percentage Of physicians pre-
scriptions contained narcotic drug
of some kind. Out of 100000 repre-
sentative prescriptions, dispensed in
drug stores in all parts OF the United
States, it was found that 70 per cent
contained opium or some one of its
preparations.
Proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use,
while the directions accompanying
physicians prescriptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegble. 1t
is also true that but moderate pro-
portion of proprietary medicines con.
tain any poison or narcotic, and. when
they do. it is generally in such small
quantities or SO protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with 1t
no danger whatever"
