I WE PRAISE BOISE.

Boise as a whole has done Its
work we'll. From the greatest to
the least, they put their shoulders
to the wheel and handled the Irri-
cation Congress with open hospl-
tally. Of course the visitors
were permitted to spend their
money, but thousands Of dollars
were expended BY Boise people
lin ways from which no returns
could possibly come unless It was
through Indirect returns Or future
growth.
People opened their houses,
gave up their own rooms, staid
away from the meetings TO Dc the
work SO the guests OF the city
might be shown a good and profit
able time, and in many ways they
did the thing. up nobly: II the
bread they cast upon the waters

Idaho Falls expended about
5000 in entertaining the congress
with something to eat when they
reached that city, and did not
have time to show them anything
moae than what could be seen BY
walking about town for 4 short
time, The delegates could gather
.no particular.an conclusive infor-
nation In that way, and there IS g
general impression now that If they
had done 5000 worth Of printing,
and distributed heliteratnre among

the road and after they reached
home, il would have lasted longer
and made better returns for Idaho

We Repudiate II

During our absence at the lrri-
cation Congress last week an ar
ticle appeared il the Republican
entitled aA pardon for Steers
which did not voice the sentiment
lof the editor. sa3
The leading thoughts Of the ed
itorial were that Mr.. Steers having
been convicted and incarcerated,
should now be given his liberty
that the purpose OF the law had
been accomplished 50 far ~ re-
forming him is concerned, and
that his family needs his help.
|l1In this last consideration We
heartily agree. Few sadderspec-
tacles present themselves than
that of a wife and mother strug-
Cling for the support q. herself
and family, with the eyer-present
heartache growing out Of the con
seriousness that the mainstay of
the family is alive, and yet dead
The whole community shares
| this sorrow, and could IT be shown
that i few months Imprisonment
had accomplished the reform Of
one who deliberately and persist
emily continued in series Of acts
constituting embezzlement, we
doubt If anyone would object toI
giving him his liberty, restoring
him to citizenship, and helping
him on a new career.
However, we have no evidence
that this condition exists. Mr..
Steers was given every opportnn-
lily to make good and escape pros
ecntion, but he treated such over
lures with naughty Indifference,
We assume that one who would
do this would not be easily re-
formed. The taxpayers whose
money was used to conduct 4 long
aud expensive suit to conyictihim,
uttered a silent protest when he
was sentenced to such a short
term ( r his crime, and now be-
fore year has passed, people are
signing a petition asking that he
be pardoned.
We are willing to abide by the
will Of the people il the matter,
and we call upon those who are
signing tile petition to show
whether this course will serve To-
encourage Or prevent crime,
Assuming that the pardon will
be granted, those who ask for ii,
are III honor bound to give Mr..
Steers their moral support, and
he il obligated TO render a good
moral life to the community.
When the petition comes before
the board Of pardons, We shall
ask TO- the names OF the petition:
ers and when the wisdom of their
action has been proven BY the
process Of time, we shall take
pleasure il making public acknowl-
edgement ~ them, out until then
We question the wisdom Of their
course.

The susquchanna for Canoeing.

Scenery 1t has, unsurpassed by That
along any of our Eastern rivers, and
rough water and a marked degree
of wildncss; but the browning feature
OF the Susquehanna is its islands. Be
ginning AT a point just below the
junction of the two branches, they
stretch in a long chain for scores of
miles, frequently two and three
abreast, and so i%nterlinked that the
points are few where a person stand
ing on IN bank of the river can see
the opposite bank of the stream be
cause of these intervening islands.
Roughly cigar shaped in form, rang
ing from a few hundred yeards to two
or three miles in length, and always
thickly wooded or fringed with a for
est growth, these islands stretch al
ong the center and eastern side of the
river, making the stream appear
from the shore to be only one half or
N third of its actual width.
Obviously, then, the place from
which to view the Susquehanna and
its valley, is a point in mid-stream.
Thus it is that the canoeist occupies
the point of vantage and only those
who have trayersed the river in a
canoe or other craft are really ac-
quainted with 1t. On the left or east
.e7n bank, the hills rise, for the most
part, sheer from the waters edge.
while on the other shore rolling
farmlands lead gradually 10 a higher

background. Though there are more
than a few places where the river has
apparently cut its way directly
through a mountain, and here tower
ing cliffs stand on either bank like
giant gateways to the valley beyond.
At intervals, their mouths always
marked by rows of overarching trees,
smaller streams flow into the big riy-
er. Running back among the hills,
these tributaries furnish a varied
scenery that, in miniature, easily IL
walls that of the larger streams. Many
of these tributaries can be followed
for miles and these little side trips
are well worth the while. Moreover,
excellent fishing is often to be had in
them.-Louis e. Thesis in the June

EARLY UIUlIN SHOWING of
SJIARILY TAILORED SUITS

LOBsTERs' BAD CHARACTER.
Surly, Suspicious and Unsociable
and Regards Everything
as Foe,

The Scotch fishery board in its
twenty-third annual report gives the
following as the characteristics of the
lobster, says American Shipping. 1t
is an essentially surly, suspicious and
unsociable fish, and regards anything
that comes near 1t as its foe. The
main motive of its activity is defense,
and in defending itself it manifests a
blind and unreasonable vengeance. 1t
procures a hole in which to wait for
its prey, and to which to retire aft
er a fight, and 1t Is then unsafe for
any animal to approach it.
The keenness of attack and relent-
less hold when once 1t has gripped
Its antagonist are due to its want of
sight. The eye of the lobster is so
sensitive that strong light blinds it.
Although it possesses keen sight
when first Matched, the lobster is
practically blind later in life. 1t sees
nothing properly, but simply has the
sensation of light and shadow. 1t
tests a shadow with it's %antennae, and
sometimes, when a strong shadow Is
cast on it, the lobster will leap at it
on the off-chance that it is a foe.
The fighting tendency makes it diff
icult to keep Holsters in confinement
When once they have settled down
however, they will live at peace with
one another, but it is only an armed
neutrality, and if one of the fish evel
loses its fighting power it is at once
attacked by the others.
