H0OW many boys are there who are un-

Another railroad is to cross corner
of Owyhee. Out of all the confusion
of rumors of railway projects in Idaho,
one seems about to materialize into q
reality The Butte, Boise & San Fran
cisco Railroad Company, organized last
winter, with Minneapolis men at its
head, is reported to have actually let a
contract for the construction of 2l0
miles Of road, from Caldwell to Winne-
mucca, Nevada, proposing to make
this the first division of the long line
to be constructed. While in Boise last
month the writer visited the company s
offices and had talk with Mr.. G. 7
Proper, the company's secretary, and
with Judge McGinty, an interested
party, and tried to learn where the
road would be run. He learned that il
was the intention to cross Snake river
near Froman's Ferry, go up Sucker
creek and down past Cow creek lakes
to old Camp McDermott aud to Win
nemucca. We we're told that the Ell.
gineers were then at work locating the
road through Sucker creek canyon
We tried to persuade them that the
better route would be to cross the low
divide between Cow and Sucker creeks
to old Camp Lyon, Sheaville, thence tC
Jordan Valley, and to pass as neal
South Mountain as practicable, there
by not only going through better
agricultural and stock country BY
quite as practicable route, but secur
ing the traffic of what was destined tx
be one Of the most important silver
lead and copper camps in Southern
Idaho. Their reply was, that when con
ditions demanded it they would be abl'
easily to provide for that territory b.
a short branch road.
However, the road will be nea
enough South Mountain to get it

A Tale Of Life on the Plains.

Fred G. Mock, president of the Bank
of Nampa, once a western cowboy,
then the publisher of the Nampa
Leader, has published handsome vol
ume, depicting life on the plains dur
ing the days when the cattlemen and
Indians we're contesting the occupancy
of the territory of western Kansas and
Nebraska aud eastern Colorado. I'M
der the title OF "Blue Eye young
Kentucky girl, captured by Indians
who killed her father aud brother, she
being afterward rescued by cowboys,
the author has woven a pretty and
romantic story of life adventure with
cattle owners, cowboys, rustlrrs, IL
dians, buffalos and all the Wild aud
fearless characters which made that
territory noted in those exciting times,
the author assuming the nom de plume
of Ogal ALA, famous Indian chief OF
the time The story is written il. a
happy vein and will be found very in.
teresting to all who care for the his
tory of the days when the cowboy was
an unique and picturesque character
in western life.
We take pleasure in complimentinq
our friend Mr. Mock on his success in
this diversion from the cares Of an
active business life. We knew that be
had a poetic vein in his makeup, but
never suspected that it would break
out in his becoming the author of such
a pretty aud exciting romance.

1t is not given to many countries to
boast that it's soil is too fertile. and
that plants transferred to it bloom and
grow with too great luxuriance. This,
however, is the case in Louisiana, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat
where nearly everything hourishes bet
ter than it does anywhere else. even in
its native soil 1t will be remembered
how few years ago a gentleman Of
this st tie, pleased by an aquatic plant,
bearing a beautiful purple blossom
which he saw in Honduras, brought the
water hyacinth to Louisiana. He threw
few bulbs into tub in his back yard;
but the hyacinth, which grew slowly
in Central America, its original home,
spread so rapidly in Louisiana that it
soon became great pest; filling our
lakes and streams interfering with
navigation, with logging, fishing and
a hundred other industries.
Still later an enterprising planter Of
East Carroll parish, who had found
cotton not profitable, determined to
convert his plantation into a cattle
ranch. He had heard of Johnson grass
as affording excellent grazing in the
west: and he bought a quantity Of it
and planted it on his louisiana place.
1t did We Setter than anticipated, bet
ter than desired. The johnson grass,
encouraged by the rich alluvial lands
of East Carroll to a growth it had
never known in the west, spread with
great rapidity over the entire planta-
ton, and to neighboring plantations
and one of the leading agricultural
problems in Louisiana and the south
west ever since has been how to get
rid of it. When the increasing price
of cotton led the introducer Of johnson
grass to try and change his crop to cot
tn. he set to work to extirpate the
grass, but his efforts were entirely un-
successful. A sturdy fight against il
has been kept up ever since, with only
moderate success.

Miss Carrie Hastings took notion
into her wise young head to hold new
tangled watch meeting, New Year Eve,
to bid good bye to the old and welcome

Mesdames Hamilton, TuIlis and her
mother to boss the job, they had just
