The biggest traction engine ever
brought to north Idaho was unloaded
from the car in Troy last Saturday, and
after being remodeled is to be taken
into the country twelve miles and
worked on the new railroad by Wren &
Greenough, the contractors. This big
engine is in charge of w. H. Mast, an
expert, who is sent out by the Holt
Mfg. Co., of Stockton, California, from
their Walla Walla branch. This engine
weighs 25 tons, and has been used on
w. H. Babcock wheat ranch at Quincy,
Wash, where Mr.. Mast operated it.
He says he has, with it, cut, threshed
and sacked as high as 100 acres Of
grain in one day, and plowed 70 acres
per day, pulling five gangs of three
plows each, cutting 81 foot strip.
With these rigs blowing costs but so
cents per acre as against $500 by
team, and wheat is harvested at the
extremely low figure of 10 cents per
bushel, covering the total for cutting,
threshing and sacking.
The engine shown in the picture,
and which is now in Troy, is 25 ton

machine, of 90 horse power. The
boiler is what is known as the Scotch
Marine, made Of So inch steel, and
works under 210 pounds pressure,
although 800 pounds can be safely
carried. 1t can, if required, develope
80 horse power. The drive wheels
shown in the cut are six feet wide and
six feet, eight inches high. AS it
stands the engine is 81 feet wide, Is
feet to top of smoke stack, and "a feet
long. The six foot wheels are now
being replaced by two foot ones, and
the engine will leave Troy in few
days for the new railroad, will be eleven
feet wide. The six foot wheels are
used only in farm work.
These great engines are used in
logging camps as well as for farms and
are made in sizes ranging from twenty
five to one hundred horse power. In
the logging camps a sixty-horse power
engine will haul $4,000 feet Of lumber
on six trucks and have been known to
haul over 90 tons up ten per cent
grade.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO READ.

lEACf1lNG CT1lLDNEN ~ NEAL
Most children learn how to read,
very few what to read. Parents
sent the little ones to school, and
there they learned to get the
thoughts of others from the printed
page, but the parents too often
forget that this new acquisition
may be used for either good or
evil, a few realize how a child's
life may be b,ighted by what it
reads. Children had better never
learn at all than to read that which
corrupts the morals and destroys
the powers of the mind. In some
of the best schools the pupils are
taught what to read, as well as
how to read. Where this is done
the intelligent cooperation of the
parents is of the greatest impor-
tance. Where this is not done,
the parents must either attend to
the matter themselves, or leave
their children to be led by fancy
and impulse in their choice Of
reading matter.

gallows. When the child is older
there T better disciplinary pun
is hments than spanking, but when
the child is at such an age that
they are useful, it may be too late
his temper may have grown into q
dominating force in his character
that cannot be eradicated. Moth
ers, sometimes say when a child
shows a vile temper and shrieks a
good deal, that it would endanger
his life to punish him perhaps so,
but you still more endanger his
future, if you don't punish him.
Many a gallows tragedy has had
it's beginning on the mothers lap.
We wish we could write it in i'm
persistence, glowing letters on the
walls of every home-obedience,
obedience, obedience! Obedience
to law-to household law; to par
entail authority; unquestioning,
instant, xac obedience. Obed-
fence in the family; obedience in
the school! Wherever, from the
beginning, from the first glim-
mering intelligence in the child,
there is expression oflaw, let there
be taught respect for it and obedi-
ence to it. 1t is the royal road to
virtue, to good citizenship, it is the
only road.

We have often wondered why
mothers memory and hands must
serve for a dozen persons. Would
it not be better for all concerned
if mothers kindness contained
more of self-assertion and less Of
self-sacrifce? Would not, at
times, papa feel less disturbed,
nay, wrathfully, if he were careful
to keep his own papers in order,
and perferm the twenty other
trivial things he has time to do in
leisure moments, but expects of
some one else? Would it not be
better for sister to teach baby

each morning as a duty?

Thoughts From The Editorial Pen
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1906-09-28

1t there is one thing above
another a young man should be
ashamed of doing, it is loafng
without aim or purpose or profit,
on the streets or ia stores day after
day, all week. If you have moth
ing to do, stay at home-at least
part of the time at any rate. No
young man with any self respect
will content himself with aspiring
to no higher reputation than that
of a chronic loafer and store box
magnate. Nothing will so blunt
the higher faculties of the mind as
inactivity; and ne inactivity is so
baneful and malevolent in its ef-
feet as that voluntary idleness
termed loafng.

1t is so easy to criticise ones
neighbor who has gone wrong in
morals, or made a failure in BUSH
ness, and so hard tt give credit
for the effect of the influences i'm
polling him to disaster, over which
he has no control, that our criti-
cism of others is often very I'M
charitable. Men often say how
good they would have been, or
what they would have done, or
what they would have accom-
plished had they been in the other
mans place. They do not stop
to ask why the fellow that was in
the other shoes did not succeed.
If they did they would often find
the man who went wrong, or who
failed, was entitled to great credit
for standing up SO bravely under
forces and burdens that might
easily have o%verthrowp his ac-
cusers Sometimes the man who
fails is a greater hero than another
who wins.
