A Hint,

1t took $4,000 OF our good mon
ey to pay for 1900 OF our 25c tooth
brushes. In other words, they cost
US zoe each in thousand lots and we
sell them for quarter each. This
brush, when bought in one and two
dozen lots, costs $3 so a dozen, and
that's the way the average dealer
buys them. Then they are sold at
4Oc and SOC each. We have this one
particular brush in various sizes and
shapes, but all at the one price. If
you knew the superior value we offer
in brushes as well as we do, you
wouldn't think OF ever buying bristle
goods in any other store.
We have large lot OF sample hair
brushes that we bought at about half
the usual wholesale price, and we are
Offering some very superior values in
this line too-just now.

China q Off.

We want to buy whole new line
of china and, to close out what we
how have on hand, we will sell it from
now until April 22nd at x off the reg
nlar price. We always mark our
goods in plain figures and you can
figure the discount for yourself. An
other thing for you to note, we don't
mark our goods up before cutting the
prices. Any time we advertise cut
price, it's cut on the regular price.
If you have ever looked at our line OF
fancy china it is not necessary to tell
you much about it. Ii you have not
looked it over you better do so, and
do it inside the next two weeks. We
have a lot of very pretty pieces and
some few sets such as Berry, Sugars
and Creamers, etc. At one.third off
they make great bargains. We have
the best assorted stock of fancy
china in the town.

COLE STORAGE BUTTER.
Light Sailing, Sweet Cream and Low
Temperature Are Best.

Light Sailing, Sweet Cream and Low
Temperature Are Best.
In an investigation into the quality
of butter during a cold storage test of
eight months and after removal from
the same the following results were
obtained by c. E. Grey, dairy expert
Of the bureau of animal industry:
First.-Butter containing low percent
ages of salt kept better than did but
ter of the same lot containing higher
percentages of salt.
Second.-Butter in full cans and tubs
at -100 and -t10e Il. scored about the
same. At -t32o f. there was a slight
difference in favor of cans
Third.-Butter in full cans kept much
better than did butter in cans only
partially full, the deterioration doubt
less being due to the presence of air
in the partially full cans.
Fourth.-Butter held at -10' f. kept
best both when in storage and after
removal from storage.
Fifth.-Butter made from cream re-
ceived at the creamery sweet and in
good condition kept we'll while stored
at Loo and -t10' f. Also after re-
moval from storage, giving results
wholly satisfactory.
Sixth.-Butter made from cream re-
ceived at the creamery sour and in
fair condition kept well while in stor-
age at -1O' and -t10' F., but deterio-
rated rapidly after removal from stor-
age, giving, on the whole, results which
We're very unsatisfactory.

An Ingenious Accusation.

''The favorite horse of the Chinese
Emperor ISL" said a Chinese states
man, died through negligence on ths
part of the royal master of the horse
The emperor was so enraged at this
that he drew his sword and would
have run the careless functionary
through the body.
But the learned mandarin, Yen
tse, struck up the emperor's sword,
saying:
"'Sire, this man has not yet been
formally accused of any crime. He de-
serves to die, but his accusation should
come first. 1t is the law
"'Well, said the emperor, tell me
what he has done
Listen, you rogue said the man
DARN, turning to the trembling master
of the horse-1isten to a catalogue of
your heinous offenses. In the first
place, you have allowed horse to
perish that his majesty had intrusted
to your care. In the second place, It
is on your account that the emperor
became so exasperated that he was
actually on the point of disgracing
himself in all his peoples eyes by
killing a man for the sake of a horse
Enough said the emperor, appre-
stating the rebuke. Let him 60 He
is pardoned.'

about four loads a day. whereas before
the good roads were built two loads OF
one-half cord each were all that one
team could do. 1t cost SO a cord to
haul this wood before the good roads
were built and rs cents cord after
ward. In other words. the wood was
worth 1925 per cord after the roads
were put in. while it was absolutely
worthless before. l find that the diff

over the bad roads will bring a ton Of
hay to town In a day. Over the good
roads they win bring three tons, so
the product Of a meadow of 100 acres
is worth about $500 more with a good
road to it at seven miles from town
than it is with q bad road. Before this
good road was built the meadow was
worth $40 per acre. Since 1t is built
$50 seems a reasonable price for 1t.
Il have found by actual experience
that the tax the farmers are paying
which keeps them poverty stricken is
that imposed by bad roads. For many
years tried earnestly to locate an in
dustrious class of farmers in this coun-
ty. On different occasions l did sue
coed in getting several such colonies
started. None of them remain. Usu-
ally they were a hardy class of Ger
mans such as settled the prairies and
states to the north and west of us.
One by one they would sell out and go
back to the prairie country. On close
questioning | would find that the lack
of roads and schools was so great these
people wouldn't stay. The country
they came from had a tax three times
us large as ours. In fact. many of the
school districts in Kansas where they
had lived levied a school tax much
greater than our total tax. and It was
not unusual for the total tax to he ) pei
cent I'm the counties from which these
German settlers came. They would
try 1t year or two in our country of
bad roads and low taxes. then sell out
and return to the per cent tax rate.
Good city streets pay just as well as
good country roads, and it is almost
impossible to have clean. healthy
wholesome town without paved streets
We in Fort Smith have had a notable
example of how good streets pay"

Academy of Idaho.

Vol. /, No. 2 of the quarterly
Bulletin of the Academy of Idaho,
situated at Pocatello, is at hand.
We note these facts:
The Academy of Idaho was es-
tablished by the state legislature,
sixth session, 1901. The legisla-
ture provided for a bond issue of
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting
and equipping suitable buildings,
and 10000 acres of state land
were set aside as an endowment.
The first appropriation was suf.
ficient only to erect the walls, en-
close and finish the first floor OF
the main building. The first term
of school opened Sept. %, 1902,
with a faculty of four and an at
tendance of forty.
The seventh session of the leg
islature provided means for erect
ing boys dormitory, completing
the main building, beautifying the
grounds and the nucleus of Ii
brary.
The eighth session, 1905, pro-
vided for bond issue OF $45,500
to erect and equip additional
buildings. This provided for a
girls dormitory, shop for wood
work, wing on the main building
containing laboratories and GYM
nasium, and a dining hall and
kitchen.
During this year the faculty was
increased to ten members, and the
enrolment reached 139.

District Court.

The district court adjourned at
2 o'clock last Thursday morning,
after session occupying eight
days and portions of several nights.
VIM. West was sentenced to six
years in the penitentiary. This
case will probably be taken to the
Supreme Court on appeal.
The last case tried was that of
John II. Hampton VS.. A. Anderson
and Amelia Anderson his wife.
This was suit for damages, two
causes of action being combined in
one complaint. Five thousand
dollars was asked for unlawful i'm
prisonment and assault, and three
thousand dollars for malicious
prosecution and the expenses in.
cident thereto. The jury found
for the defendants; the evidence,
in their judgment, showing that
Hampton had made threatening
demonstrations against the Ander-
sons, and that they were justifi-
able in their course of procedure.
William McGinnis, who claimed
to be a scion OF the we'll known
McGinnis family of classic Greece,
pleaded guilty of robbing the Sec
ton house at Cleft, and was sem
fenced to two years in the pen
itentiary.
Ed Murray, a boy of seventeen,
who assisted in the same robbery,
was sentenced to the reform school
until he reaches the age of 81.
Mrs. Adeline Hall gained her
suit against the county for the full
allowance of her claim, $57 80
having been disallowed by the
commissioners on account of bur-
ial expenses with which she held
that she was not properly charge
able.
In the case Of w. L. Thurman
VS.. Elmore county, the "Pine
bridge case," judgment was rem
dered for defendant.
Divorces were granted to Elva
j. Ross VS.. ]. H. Ross; and to
Harry l.. Magden vs.. Myrtle Mag
den-the defendant in the latter
case residing in Colorado.
In the closing days of the ses-
sion the Judge availed himself of
the last opportunity to assert the
dignity of the court by admins
tering severe reprimands to several
of the attorneys. who, in his opin-
ion, had gone beyond the bounds
of propriety.
This was the last session of court
in Judge Prices term. The bar
and citizens generally bear testi'
mony to his ability, probity and
courtesy. 1t is reported that he
will settle in Boise in the practice
of law.

Rapid Progress Made on Exhibit
Palaces.

Rapid Progress Made on Exhibit
Palaces.
All of the large exhibit palaces
of the Jamestown Exposition are
rapidly nearing completion, and a
large number of buildings and pa
vilions will be in readiness for the
installation of exhibits by March
1st, nearly two months before the
date appointed for the formal
opening of the Exposition.
The Manufactures and Liberal
Arts building, one of the largest of
the group, is under roof. This
structure is brick veneer with staff
marble effect) trimmings, and is
one of the most stately and impo'
sing buildings on the grounds. It's
sister building, Machinery and
Transportation, is about ready to
be rooted, and in style and finish
will be similar to the Manufactures
Auditorium and Administration
buildings. In this structure is an
immense convention hall with
seating capacity for 5000 persons.
1t is one of the handsomest and
most artistic buildings ever con.
structed for an Exposition, and its
location commands a magnificent
view of Hampton Roads. 1t is
surrounded with an immense dome
bearing close resemblance to the
one that ornaments the Library of
Congress, at Washington, D. G.
The frame work of Mines and
Metallurgy, Marine appliances,
Food Products and several other
smaller buildings is we'll under way,
and under ordinary conditions will
be completed within sixty days. OF
the State buildings, those of
Rhode Island, Virginia, Maryland,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Ohio will be completed by Janu-
ary /. The Inside Inn, with ac-
commodations for more than $500
persons, will also be completed by
that date.
The buildings all ready for exhib.
it's include the Arts and Crafts,
Mothers and Children's, and Hos.
pital.
Work of construction on the
government buildings and pleas
ure piers has begun, and will be
vigorously pushed to early compile
ton. A large corps of workmen
are engaged in macadamizing the
numerous beautiful streets and
boulevards, and expert landscape
decorators are laying out innumer.
able designs for the floral decora-
ton.
The exhibits will embrace every
phase of industrial development
during three hundred years, ar
ranged and classified so that visi-
tors can obtain at once a correct
history of the development of
any specific branch of industry
without visiting several buildings,
as has been the case in former ex-
hibitions.
While the jamestown Exposi-
ton is to commemorate the great
est historical event in history
the founding of the first English
speaking settlement in America,
at Jamestown, Va, in 1907, yet
the industrial and commercial
displays will form no small part
of the celebration.
