In this country the peril of clot hes is
greater than elsewhere because Of ur
lack of class distinction. In Europe a

the poor working woman not only aspires
to dress like millionairess, but, if she
is young and pretty, only sometimes sells
herself in order to do it.
Surely with the awful warning of the
fate of EVELYN Nesbit before their eyes,
it is time for mothers to see the danger

foolish women are willing to sacrifice
honor and name and all that makes
womanhood good and sweet.
And oh, the pity of it, that the silly
girls who envy Evelyn Nesbits in their

that the world sees in this fnery only the

WEALTH FOR THE YOUNG MAN
Financier Advises Them TO Buy and 60 in
Debt for Real Estate

Debt for Real Estate
In answer to a request that he write
some practical hints for young men on
the requirement OF wealth, wel-known
fnancier responded as follows:
"A difficult task is set me, as circum-
stances under which young men COM
mence life are so widely varied. But l
think that more young men fail in the in
vestment of what they earn or receive
than in any other way to acquire prop.
erty. The temptations to speculate are
SO great and the desire to become sud-
denly rich so strong, that l believe eight
out Of ten, if not more Of young men
arc wrecked at the very beginning.
eff young man is earning something
more than the expense of his living, and
has no object in view, he is likely either
to increase those expenses carelessly, or
to loan his money to his friends and in SO
doing in the majority of cases lie will lose
both friends and money. So that the
best thing that he can do is to have an
object, gather up money and to have a
call for it which shall be profitable one.
He makes no investment because, he
says, 4 have got so little money that lit
won't come to anything; I will wait until
getmore; and in waiting, generally,
what hehas goes.
when a young man has very little
money, let him buy some property, pre-
ferably piece, however small, according
to his means, of improved real estate that
is paying rent, paying in cash what he
can, giving his notes for the balance in
small sums coming due at frequently re.
curing intervals, secured by a mortgage
on the property, and then use all OF his
extra income in paying up these notes.
1t is always safe to discount your own
note and if the notes come little too fast,
as soon as he gets anything paid his
friends will aid him when he is putting
his money where it can not be lost and
where the property is taking care OF the
interest and in very short time he will
find that he has got very considerable
investment. He will become interested
in it, savelhis money to meet his notes,
and lie will directly come into conside
able possession of property, and hardly
know how it came to him. That il, he
will have had a motive for saying, and
will get the result OF that saving and Nil
not be tempted to enter into speculation,
Nothing is SO safe for an investment as
improved real estate. Nothing is likely
to grow IN value faster. In the last 81
yeas 80 per cent. Of all the merchants
and traders in Boston have failed or gone
out of business, so that their stock has
been wiped out. In the last so years al
the improved real estate,on the average
has paid its interest and taxes anC
unadrupled in value If young mans
father can give him anything to ptart hin
in the world, hehad better invest it il
that way and let il accumulate and earl
his living and he will be richer than j
he had gone into business. Jay Goult
is said to have started from meusetraI
seller to become a millionaire. Assum
ing that to be true, he is only one Of 20,
900, 600 of the people; and, if any your
| man thinks that he is going to imitat,
Jay Gould, there are 7O,0OO,OOO chance
TO one that he won'tsucceed."

GARDENS FOR, THE WORKERS.
Self.HeIp Movement in France Prov
ing a Great Success.

"The great value Of my little garden
to me has not been the fine vegetables
it has yielded all summer and the
good time the children have had In
the open air, but the glasses of beer
and absinthe my husband hasn't ta-
KEN observed the mother Of French
workingman's rather numerous fam
lily to an Investigator last autumn.
Quite right. mother" echoed man
near by; you will never know the
evil we men don't do while we are
busy in our little gardens"
This conversation took place in
France, on one of the workingmen's
gardens, movement for self-help
which is growing each year, says a
writer in the Century. A similar
movement was started in Detroit In
1894 under the name of the Pota
Patch farms; later carried out sue
cessfully in New York and other cities
in the vacant lot farms, while to-day
Philadelphia is beginning her eighth
year of successful effort
Nine, Hervew. a charitable woman
in Sedan, tired Of aiding the poor by
gifts of moncy, attempted to rouse
them to self-help by an offer of dou-
bling any s'in of money which they
should deposit in the local savings
bank. She rented small tract of
land and sad to the poor people:
Now so to work"
They did, and as they worked the
taste for it grew; they kept steadily
at it, especially as they knew that the
fruits Of their labor would belong to
them, that the vegetables they raised
could be taken to. their homes or
sold
Such was the humble beginning in
1899 of a little movement, but one so
simple and practical that it grew until
last October, in Paris, there was held
a congress Of workingmen's gardens,
attended by 700 delegates, under the
presidency Of M. Aynard OF France.

Another Land Openins.


The opening to settlement Of
seven hundred farms embraced in
the Huntley irrigation project in
Montana, which lie scheduled to
take place on June 26, promises
to be both unique and spectacular.
Uncle Sam will hold lottery,
and the farms will be drawn by
numbers.
The new regulations Of the Sec
Rotary Of the Interior will eimi-
nate the SPECTATOR and will offer
an equal chance to all homeseek-
ers. This will mark rather
wide departure from the old pol
icy Of permitting q free-for-all
scramble, in which the non-resi-
dent and-seeker was always alta
disadvantage. The method Of
procedure decided upon as fol.
lows:
Any person desiring to make
entry may, either through the
mails or otherwise, present to the
Register and Receiver Of the land
office at Billings, Montana, his
personal affidavit, sworn to before
some officer authorized to admin
lister oaths in the Billings land
district. These afiidavits must
reach the land office between 8
O'Clock a. m. June 16 and 4:3O
p. m, June rs 1907. Beginning
on Wednesday, June 26 1907,
the Register and Receiver, under
the supervision of representative
of the Secretary OF the Interior,
will publicly open the sealed box
es in which the envelopes have
been placed, thoroughly mix the
envelopes, and then as they are
selected number them from l to
1900. The envelopes will then
be opened and each person whose
affidavit il found therin will be
notified of his number, which will
control the time and order in
which he may apply to make en-
try. No person who does not
hold number assigned to him
under these regulations will be
permitted to make entry prior to
a date to be fixed by the Secreta-
ry, when all lands which have not
been entered will become subject
to settlement and entry under the
provisions of the Reclamation Act
and Homestead Law, subject to
the rules announced in the Secre-
tary's order. Accomplishments in
favor Of someone else will not be
permitted, as the lucky numbers
are not transferable.
The envelopes must be sealed
and must not be marked in any
way to indicate the sender, and no
person may make more than one
application. If the rules in this
respect are not followed the appli-
cation will be thrown out. All
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1907-05-31
envelopes fled will be opened

envelopes filed will be opened
and recorded. If person who
has drawn a number has flied
more than one application, his
name and number will be cancel
ed from the list.
The event will be notable one
! for Montana, inssmuch as the
Huntley will be the first project
constructed under the Reclama-
ton Law to be thrawn open to
entry in the State. The Secreta-
ry Of the Interior will be present
when the drawing begins.
The Huntley project is located
about II miles east of Billings,
Montana. The lands lie at an
elevation Of about 5000 feet above
sea level and slope gently toward
the Yellowstone River. Unusual
facilities for transporting crops
are afforded by two lines of rail
roads which traverse the tract.
The climate of southern Montana
is delightful and the soils Of ex-.
ceptional fertility, producin g
abundant crops when we'll watered.
Cereals and alfalfa are the princi-
pal products at present, although
apples, small fruits and garden
vegetables do we'll. On account
Of the fine range country produces
about five tons to the acre at pres.
ent and is worth IS per ton in the
stack. With assured crops of hay
and feed the ranchmen can In
crese their herds and improved
quality Of the stock will make
prices correspondingly better.
A beet sugar factory is now in
operation at Billings and the farm
ers are increasing their acreage
in this crop, as it is very profit
able. This factory is only u
miles from these farms and is
reached by two lines Of railroads.
II The farm units will vary from
40 to so acres, depending on the
location, and averaging 40 acres
of irrigable land. Wherev er|
practicable tract of grazing land
has been included in the farm unit,
bringing the total to 1850 acres
in a number OF cases.
1t is proposed to have eight
towns in the project at about five
mile intervals along The transcon-
tinental railroads which now ira
verse the tract, and no farm will
be more than 3 miles from a ship
ping point. Two Of the towns will
be common to both railroads;
four more will be on the North
ern Pacific Railway, and two on
the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy. Immediately after the
drawing of the farms these town
lots will be sold at public auction,
and there will be openings for
professional and business men
and skilled and unskilled laborers.

Hen Has Cat for Playmate

each other for few moments, then
"fly into" each other, roll about the
yard and then scamper away for some
distance, only to come together again
and repeat the maneuver. When the
situation becomes too warm for the
cat she scampers to the nearest tree
and takes refuge.
Although there are more than 100
hens on the farm, this is the only one
that shows any affection for the cat,
and mutually the cat is never quite so
happy as when she is marching around
the yard with the hen.
