SAVE YOUR GRAINS AND
GRASSES FOR THE FAIR

1t is earnestly requested that all
the farmers and ranchers in Elmorc,
Owyhec and Blaine counties join
with the officers and directors of
the Elmore Fair association in or
ganizing and promoting the grand
fair to be held at Mountain Home,
Elmore county, Idaho, on the Sd,
4th, 5th, and 9th of October, 1906.
The directors are proceeding with
all possible haste in getting out
premium lists and such general data
and advertising matter as will give
the public all facts concerning the
prizes, premiums, etc. The direct
ors believe ii safe TO say that at
least So, 500 will be given away in
prizes and premiums at this meet
ing and it is earnestly desired that
the ranchers bring in the best pos
sible collection of all grains .and
grasses. With this end in view,
we are taking this early means of
asking all ranchers to cut and pre-
serve the best grains and grasses
grown in Elmore, Owyhee and
Blaine counties.
4 All grasses should be cut and
wrapped in heavy brown paper, SO
that in curing, same will not become
discolored. They should be done
up in shcaves at least six inches in
diameter. All grains should be
properly cut and selected shcavcs
at least six inches in diameter
tightly bound up, not wrapped in
paper, thus allowing il to properly
cure and color.

in number, composes the leading
citizens in the territory above men

toned, and in as much as this is
our first attempt at holding a big
county fair, it is earnestly re-
quested that every one lend help

when you come to Mountain Home
this fall you will see exhibits in
horticulture, agriculture, live stock,
art, etc. that will be second to none
in the Pacific West.

ton, the valley has become garden
spot. At a still earlier day, sheep
men drove in their flocks and
thousands cover the hillsidcs.
Mining, too, has revived. Some
gold mines have been found and are
being operated; while the increased
price OF silver has caused the old
abandoned silver mines to be re-
opened. But what is interesting
HALEY more at present than any
other proposition is the prospect
of having rebuilt the splendid hotel
that was burned few years since,
out at the hot springs, two miles
from town.
The entire valley is affectionately
referred to as "The River" by the
inhabitants along its picturesque
banks. You will hear some one re-
mark that so and so ''has the fastest
horse on The River;' or that ''she
is the prettiest girl on The River. +"
And that means the ultima thule of
swiftness or beauty; that the outside
world is faded in the contest.
Many OF these people have been
living there for a generation,
which has given time for the de-
velopment of that law of nature
that the inhabitants of mountain
Gus region shall love the physical
features of their home surroundings,
placing the highest estimate on
everything connected Herewith.
1t is the workings of this law
that has kept the little Swiss re-
public intact, surrounded though
it is by giant nations hungry for
domination there; that prevented
the southern mountaincers from fir
ing on the stars and stripes. Their
patriotism is rendered thus intense
because they have something tam
gible and ever present on which TO
fasten their affection; supplemented
by national traditions and the catch
phrases of politicians. The resident
Of the plains does not know this
feeling. He may love his individ-
ual home, but all the bleak sur
rounding landscape inspires in him
no lofty love Of country. This whole
truth is given tragic object lesson
in the prairie states, where the in
sane asyulms are filled with pa
tients from the mountainous regions
of Europe, whose mental malady is
nothing more than a species of
inconsistencies.

and it's memories; for the poets

can with truth be positively ex-
pressed in plain prose, that the one

it is that the people Of the Wood

ECHO Answers Why!"

From a military standpoint il
does seem strange and unaccount-
able that up to this time nc
explanation has been demanded
from any source as TO why the
long roll was not instantly called
at Fort Brown when the first news
of the attack being made by sol
diers from the post reached the
ears OF the commanding officer
Had such a course been pursued
and the gun racks examined it
would have been entirely possible
to have detected and arrested every
soldier who was engaged in that
outrage. This course, besides
bringing the guilty to trial, would
have avoided the possibility of
doing injustice to any of the SOL
diers belonging to that battalion
who have heen discharged and
disgraced on account of the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tacfian Tube When this tube is inhan-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inha1ned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

The Newspaper Puff.

A Missouri editor says he enjoys
watching a citizen read a puff of
himself in the paper. The mar
row minded man reads it over seven
or eight times and then goes around
and begs all the copies he can. The
kind-hearted one goes home and
reads it to his wife and then goes
around to the office and pays what
he owes. The successful business
man, who advertises regularly and
makes money by it, Immediately
starts out to find the editor and
then the two walk silently down
the street and the business man
takes sugar in his'n and both eat
a Glove or two and life is sweeter
and peace settles down on their
lives for a moment.
Such is the experience of a mus
tard seed that falls on the different
ground. '-Yoakum Herald.

The Spider Tree.

In the country about Cape Negro,
in Africa, there is a curious plant
called the spider tree. 1t grows on
windy plains, its stem attaining a
diameter Of four feet, although it
does not exceed one foot in height.
1t puts out two leaves six or eight
feet in length, and these are split
by the whiting of the wind into a
number of stiff, narrow ribbons
bearing 70 little resemblance to the
legs of a gigantic spider. This re-
semblance becomes startling when
a strong breeze puts the leglil1e
leaves into rapid motion, and the
negroes shiveringly exclaim that
the great spider is struggling to get
loose.

HEPBURN RITE BILL

There is considerable agitation
IN the minds of truck and fruit
growers over the state in regard to
che effect the Hepburn rate bill
will have on interstate shipments
of produce.
We are of the opinion that fears
along this line are almost, if not
altogether, without foundation.
In the first place the greater bulk
of express shipments of fruit and
truck is intra-state, because of the
fact that our local markets furnish
sufficient demand for very early
stuff that may be shipped in small
quantities. aud experience has
Droven that a Texas market offer
1ng two thirds as much as a St.
louis, Kansas City or Chicago
market. is more profitable TO our
farmers and market gardeners
early in the season before carload
lots can be had. This IS owing to
the absolutely ruinous express
charges on long hauls to northern
markets. The express rates on
shipments entirely within the state
win not be affected by the new
Jaw. In the next place the rebat-
reg that has heretofore been
allowed in weights by the express
companies is greatly magnifed and
TOO insignificant to mention,
when the weights of certain pack
ages are accepted by the express
companies it is simply because
much handling of these packages
has taught them the average
weights and there is no reduction
from fair average.
These are no theories on oul
part but hard facts learned from
no little experience. Again the
express shipments of fruit and
vegetables to points outside Of
Texas by our growers, amount tc
practically nothing and are very
rarely profitable. Besides, the
system of making rates less than
extortionate by means of rebating
an weights, thereby leaving the
matter entirely in the hands of the
express companies and the ship
pers at their mercy, is a very
unsatisfactory and unbusinesslike
azethod sof looking after the
zu4erests of the people. If the
sreseut rates as permitted are toe
high, let the commission lower
Hhen and insure equal rates t
every shipper, instead of allowing
xEese carriers a discretion to do 81
