Special Correspondence
BOISE, Idaho, Sept 24-The repub-
llcan primaries were held in Ada
county today. So far as the city of
Boise was concerned there has never
been similar occasion where the in =
terest has been so great, or the vote
so large. The woman vote and the
interest of the women voters in the
result of primary election has never
been SO keen. It is now predicted that
the county convention this week will
be full of interest, and that the candi-
dates nominated will be strong in both
qualifications and in popularity. There
are large number of candidates seek
ing nomination for each of the officers,
in only one instance, that Of Hon.
Jonas Brown. for probate Judge. does
a candidate find himself apparently Sc
cure of nomination. Mr.. Brown, how
ever, seems to have the thing all his
own way. He is the present incum-
bent, and ha filled the Office with such
perfect satisfaction to every one that
it is not expected that the democrats
will put up any one against him.
Labor Demands Recognition.
One of the great fights Of the COM
ing convention. it is anticipated, will
be over the legislative nominations.
There is generally expressed desire
that a ticket of very strong men
should be put up. The labor unions
are demanding that at least one of
the representatives be named from
among the union membership, and
there is desire among them that the
state senator be also selected from
among them.
Democrats See Sour Grapes.
While the republicans Of Ada have
too many candidates to make the Sc
lection Of a legislative and county
ticket. pleasant task, the democrats
are so unfortunate as to have no as
pirants for the positions Of honor and
profit in the hands of the people who
are willing to become nominees at this
time. The democratic county con-
vention was held about two weeks ago.
At that time after organization and
the listening of a soul-stirring speech
from Senator Fred T. Dubois. in which
he told how much of follower of
Roosevelt he was, followed by the
serving Of the Mormon hierarchy raw
for consumption. a committee was ap-
pointed to go out and gather in a few
democrats who would be willing to &C.
cept nomination at the hands of the
Mormon eaters" The committee,
after several hours of effort, returned
and reported that it had been entire
ly unable to secure the consent of any
one to play the role of martyr this
year. Adjournment was then taken
until the 29th Of this month just after

Sea GuIIs as Pirates.

There may be an advantage in birds
living in colonies. but | cannot see how
any other birds would want to live
near a colony of guls. A gull In his
own country will steal like a politician
and murder like a pirate They swarm
about us like vultures after a battle
The minute our approach drove a
murre or cormorant from Its nest the
sanity looking scalawags swoopsd
down to eat the eggs and young
While the gulls are freebooters and
robbers on the island, 1t Is only when
other birds are frightened from their
nests that they have chance to carry
on their nefarious trade. Eternal Wig.
lance Is the price the latter pay for
their eggs and young Except when
they are frightened by the approach
Of some person, their possessions are
never left for IN instant without a
guard. But the fttest manage to sur.
viye on the rocks, and these gulls are
the most useful birds in the bays and
rivers about the waterfronts of our
cities. They are valuable as scaven-
gers and should be protected In every
way. Three of them are equal to a
buzzard. Ten Of these gulls are equal
to pig-The World Today.

He Was In such a Hurry.

A man who has resided In Cairo told
this tale. as an illustration Of the dill
atory ways Of Arabian trades people:
"A certain gentleman ordered q
swing to be erected Ia his garden for
the use Of his little boy aged SIX He
waited and waited, but the swing new
er arrived In due course Of time that
boy grew up 10 mans estate and be
came himself the fsthef of little boy
When his son was six years old he
remembered how his own father had
ordered swing to be made for him
So he called on the tradesman, who
lived at his gate, and asked him to
send up the swing that had been order
ed twenty years before. The man
agreed to do SO The little boy be-
coming impatient after three weeks
his father called again and remon-
strated with the Arabian as to bis dill
atorness The indignant tradesman
replied that he could not really under
take to serve any one who was In
such a fearful hurry"

Battle and Massage Oranges.

you cHn learn thing or two about
fruit" said the foreign fruit store
clerk, "by living in the country that
produces it. The natives generally
know best how to preserve and keep 1t
fresh. Persons ordering fruit for
steamer parties often wonder why our
oranges look SO fresh and bright They
are willing to pay a good price just for
the tempting looks of the fruit. Well,
we battle them and massage them just
as the Chinese do; that's why l have
lived In the Celestial Kingdom and got
some valuable lessons from our almond
eyed cousins. On a first class orange
plantation in China, when harvest time
comes, bamboo vessels filled with wa
ter are held under the orange trees,
and as the fruit falls from the branch
1t goes into the water and gets a good
bath. An orange not treated this way
loses its oil from having been sudden
ly cut of, and it soon begins to grow
brown and shrivel. The Chinese coolies
brush the oranges to open the pores OF
the skin and let the air In. This gets
the dust all out and helps to preserve
them. California people learned the
trick from the Monaghan farmers
there. New York Press.

Only One side of the Moon.

Did you ever stop to consider the fact
that the inhabitants of this earth have
never seen but one side of the moon
and to inquire the reasons why such
should be the case7 The explanation is
this: The moon makes one revolution
on her axis In the same period of time
which she consumes in revolving once
around the earth. Thus the same geo.
graphical regions OF the moon are al
ways toward us. One explanation usu-
ally calls for another. Therefore 1t may
not be out of place to remark that the
astronomers believe that the two mo-
tons so nearly coincide because the
moon Is not a true globe, the earth's
influence having elongated the lunar
world in the days when 1t was semi
liquid or at least soft.

English. Mr.. Nervely talked In loud
voice. He conveyed the idea that he
owned the earth. When he had tired
himself out and was taking d rest
Jose quietly asked:

it in hard enough"
The strike had lasted four days, with
all quiet around the mine, when Jose
Favara rode up. 1t was early In the
morning, and President Neryely was
eating a picnic breakfast. The outlaw
had thirty men with him. and each and
every one had a business look about
him

with breakfast l should like to see
him." was the message sent to the
magnate
Ten minutes later he appeared and
ordered the outlaw to go way back and
sit down. He was seized bound and
carried Off among the mountains. He
called for help, but there was no help.
He yelled Police Fire" and Muir

town designated, and a week after the
