towns in south Idaho are under
going a fuel famine and much

Over the Idaho hills,
Where the far blue shadows are
Where the Camas flowers bloom
And the noble fir trees loom,
My thoughts are lost affair.
Over the Idaho hills,
Where the dreamy haze is blent
With the sky and trees, today
My vagrant hearts away,
Trying to find content
Over the Idaho hills,
Pelting through rain and snow,
Needless of who might frown
Our long, hard journey down
Wasn't it glorious, though?
Over the Idaho hills,
Is a gdunt and giant pine;
On canyons brink it stands,
Towering, it commands
Many thoughHOf mine.
Over the Idaho hills,
Down at the old trees base,
We swung from saddles to rest,
The sun was low in the west, -
Our camp fire lit the place.
Over the Idaho hills,
A clear call comes to me;
Up in your stirrups you
Stand, and your deep halloo
Echoes from canyon and tree.

Trooping toward US there
Hundreds from everywhere

All, for that damp day gone!
Over the Idaho hills,
God bless their shadows blue
There, are my thoughts away,
Would l were there today
Riding through rain with you!

A Chicago man is now trying
to get the government to turn
thandling of the United States
mail over to private corpora
ton on the plea that it could be
handled cheaper and the postage
rates reduced. If this is so we
can see no reason why the gov
eminent cannot handle it fully
as cheap as private persons and
either reduce postage rates or
apply the earnings on the nation
al debt. If a private corporation
can make up the annual postal
deficit, reduce postal rates and
earn a handsome income at the
same time it looks as if there
was something rotten in the pos
tai department and instead of
trying to raise the postage rates
on newspapers the department
will do better to cut out a lot of
needless expenses.
