FLORIDA FANCIES."

b The Courier office is in receipt of
an interesting and neatly printed book
bearing the title of Florida Fancies,"
written by F. r. Swift New York
yachtsman. and published by the
Knickerbocker press.
In this little book the author tells
about the scenery and relates inter-
esting adventures encountered on
hunting trip along the St. Johns and
Ocklawaha rivers. The author did not
spend his time luxuriating in some
palatial hotel but went out into the
wilds where he could enjoy our incom-
parable scenery.
He also tells about the music of the
Florida evening which commences
with the shrill call of the coot, the
ley trill of the raft duck, the weird
whispers of the boot, and the hoarse
cry of the alligator, which he was
obliged to listen to, as in many in
stances he was not able to leave the
yacht for several days, as everything
for miles was swamps and lakes.
The author sailed through lakes,
swamps and river to Lake Okecho-
bee, from where an Indian boy ac-
companied them. who was later killed
by a monster alligator, which meas
ured fourteen feet ten inches, and
weighed about eight hundred pounds.
The book is elegantly illustrated by
Albert E. Swift and is one OF, the most
interesting of its kind ever written.

Madison's Proud Record.

Banks, Did you inquire about
banks Why MadisOn's are the pride
of the county. One with an age OF
little more than ten years has a de-
posit climbing toward the four hun
dred thousand dollar mark, the other,
just past the age of six months, is
proud of a deposit just a few hundred
short of two hundred thousand dollars.
Every section of fair Florida is glad
with the old years gifts and the new
years promises. the face Of good for
tune has surely beamed on our beau
tiful land, but of all sections Of our
state surely our own county wears
the laurel for the prosperity of bank
ing institutions. Bear in mind Madi-
sons banks are but an index Of the
excellent condition of the people in
whose midst they are located.-Madi-

A Preparation That Lays Dust-Is
Used Successfully in California.

After years of scientific research and
practical experiments Leonard Schade
Van Westrum, the inventor of Wes-
trumite, claims to have finally sue
ceeded with the assistance of authof-
tiles from the first rank in chemistry
and road building. in producing
clinical compound which is solu-
BILE in water and which caan, there
fore, be easily distributed by means of
the ordinary water wagon The min
ute distribution which is thus posi-
BILE permits the compound to pene-
trate through the pores Of the finest
stone, sand clay, etc, and its capac-
ity of absorbing fresh water is said to
be sufficient to renew it's binding ca
pacity after each rain, whereby the
are closed, as we'll as TO lay the dust
which may be blown upon the track
from adjoining fields etc.
The best results it is said, will be
if the sandy or earthly surface is sat
urated TO a depth of six inches with
a solution of from % to so per cent
Such saturation will amount to about
$1,000 per mile, it is claimed to be suf-
ficient to render the rOadbed abso-
lutely gree from dust for years, and
to make the roadbed a compact. elias
tic mass, which will be able to with
stand the effects of rain storms, ETC.,
and prevent the losening of the rails
If after a period of several years
should make its temperance to a
dust should make it's appearance to a
slight degree this new dust can be
effectualy laid by sprinkling the sur
face with a solution of from TO 10
per cent. which will cost from $40 to
$40 per mile.
In sections where it is merely nee
essary to lay the dust and no value
need be placed upon the solidity of
the roadbed, applications of Westrum-
lite in a 10 per cent. solution, repeated
at intervals at six to ten times
year, and which will cost about $40
per mile per application, will be suf-
ficient TO secure freedom from dust.
Although Westrumite has not yet
been used to any extent for the above
purpose for the reasons that the duty
on oil makes it's use for that purpose
in foreign countries prohibitive, the
results which have been obtained
by it's use on thousands of miles of
macadeh and dirt roads seems to war
rant the assertion that it will be
equally effective for use on roadbeds.
Two miles of the midway drive which
have for some time been treated with
Westrumite by the South Park Com
misioners of the city of Chicago,
tend to indicate, from the appearance
Of the streets and the results obtained
in rendering it dust free and its sur
face hard and elastic, that the state
ments herein made can be fully sub
stantiated.-Railway Age.

Florida the Best State in the Union

Florida has ten million acres today
for sale that are most admirably
adapted to the business of poultry
farming. The climate offers eXcep-
tional advantages since here the ex-
pense Of artificial heating is not neces-
sary, and food is easily and cheaply
grown in connection with the business.
All this land is equally fit, but the
cost would vary in proportion to trans
portation facilities-access TO trunk
lines being possible for every acre.
Since the business is one of the most
profitable in the country, requiring
little capital. why is not Florida being
settled? The only reason is that few
know of these advantages and the
knowing few nave a snap.-Times-U Tn

THE POOR JEW.

An account of the terrible suffer-
ings of the Jews in Russia which we
find described in our evening paper,
recalls an incident in our law prac-
tice many years ago.
A good deacon in Vermont had
heard so much said by his pastor
about the wicked Jews that his SYM
pathies were aroused, and when he
died and his will was opened it was
found that he had left five hundred
dollars To the poor Jews" The exc
cutor of the will wrote me and asked
me to find some poor Jews in Bos-
ton. 1 employed a man TO make
careful search, and was compelled to
write the executor that We could not
find a poor Jew in Boston. This was
something over forty years ago, and
there were few Jews in our city, and
they were all prosperous. We believe
the money was sent to some society
in New York.
y frind asks us why the Jews are
SO terribly prosecuted in Russia, and
we answer that we do not know I'M
less it is the Russian way of con-
verting Jews into Russian Christians.
We remember reading how a very
wicked Irishman, when making his
final confession to the priest just be-
fore dying, related so many crimes
that the priest asked him if he had
never done a good thing in his life.
! And he said that he had done one
good thing. The priest asked him what
il was, and he said, Il convarted
Jew" How did you convert him."
said the priest. well, had him out
wild me in a boat and l aXed him
would he be a Christian, and he said
he wouldn't be a Christian, so 1 put
him over the side of the boat and
put his head under water a bit, and
then when 1 let him up l axed him
he wouldn't, so then l put his head
under water a longer bit, and when l
let him up l axed him would he be
a Christian, and he said he would be
a Christian, and so l convarted him."
But how do you know" said the
priest that he remained converted?"
"Oh, l put his head under the water
the third time that he might die in
the faith"
This seems very similar to the plan
adopted of converting Russian Jews
into Russian Christians.
In this connection we remember that
when investigating the cattle question
some years ago, we found, by what
seemed to be reliable statistics. that
in various European countries Jews
lived, on the average, about five years
longer than Christians, which was sup
posed to result somewhat from the
great care taken by the Jews to eat
only the meats of perfectly healthy
animals.
We believe that the Jews take great
pains in this respect, and that Jewish
dealers in meats never put into their
meats, for the purpose of preserving
them. formaldehyde or other poisons,
as is done, we fear. by not a few of
our (so-called) Christion Dealers

people were the purchasers. The
price paid was not high, measur-

The group is situated at the
mouth of Red Horse creek at its

was discovered late last fall by

with Matt Lundin, did consider
able development work during

Earthquake Horror.

A terrific earthquake visited
the coast of California, Wednes-
day, the 18th at 5 o'clock a. IN.
Latest reports received here as
we go to press indicate the total
destruction of San Francisco;
also the destruction wholly or in
part of all towns within a radius
of 100 miles of that unhappy city.
The world famous Cliff House
was thrown into the sea bodily,

mark the spot upon which it once

ASKS FOR MONEY
Governor Requests Banks to Take
Deficiency Warrants.

Moscow, April 10. = Especial to
the Lewiston Tribune. 1t has
leaked out since the recent visit
of Governor Gooding to Moscow,
that circular letter, of which
the following is a copy has been
sent to every bank in Idaho:
Dear Sir: In the prosecu-
ton of Meyer, Haywood, Petit
bone, Orchard and others for the
murder Of Ex-Governor Steunen-
berg, the state finds itself with
out available funds for the work
at hand, and unless the banks of
Idaho come to the rescue Of the
state in meeting the expenses in
this case, it is going to be al
most impossible to push the
prosecution as vigorously as the
good citizens of Idaho desire to
see done. At a meeting of the
state board of examiners the is
suance of deficiency certificates
to the amount of $25. 900 were
authorized, the certificates to
bear seven per cent interest. |
have arranged with five banks in
Boise to take care of $4,000 of
these deficiency certificates. l
have no idea, however, that S25, =
600 will be a sufficient amount
for this work, and / am asking
the principal banks of the state,
and at least two in each county,
to volunteer to take up from $1,000
to $500 each of these deficiency
certificates at par. [ hardly feel
| it necessary to say to you that
feel that all good citizens are OF
accord in the feeling that the
prosecution of the murderers Of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg SHOULD
be pushed in a vigorous manner
by the state, and | am sure there
can be no question in the minC
of any citizen of Idaho but thai
the next legislature will NEE
, the deficiency thus created
promptly. You must agree will
me that there is no risk in tax
ing care of $1,000 or $4,000 O.

doing so, you and your fellow

Forest Reserves.

At first many south Idaho peo-
pie either opposed or were in
different to the policy adopted
by the government on the forest
reserve question. They thought
that it little affected them either
way, and if anything, were in
clined to support the administra-
ton policy. The forest reserves
that seriously interfered with the
development of the state were in
the north. The idea that reserves
would be natural reservoirs for
the conservation of water had a
strong hold on their minds, and
consequently the south Idaho re-
serves were approved. In con-
sequence Senator Heyburn's fight
against the Wholesale: indiscrim-
mate creation of forest reserves
neither aroused interest nor de-
veloped support in this section.
A sudden change has come. The
startling information from Wash
ington that a shortage of funds
for the reclamation works is in
sight has opened our eyes. We
realize that long delay in get
ting water on the lands, under
the government projects, under
way and contemplated, would be
g, serious blow to the state. There
are thousands of people located
of the Payette-Boise and Mini
doka projects who would be
ruined, financially, should this
delay occur. Naturally, people
began to seek the reasons for the
shortage in funds, 1t has trans
pired that much of the reclama.
ton funds come from the sale Of
the public domain under the
stone and timber act. The crea
. ton of forest reserves, takes the
land in these reserves out of the
markets, and shuts off that mucl
revenue from the reclamation
} projects. AS there are now Is,
t 848, $50 acres of Idaho land il
) reserves, and plans in mind fo
the setting apart of more land, i
will be seen at a glance how tn
