Changes for Good in Ten
Years.

In the six years from 1900 to
TO 1906 the value OF farm prop
erty in the Mnited States ad-
vanced from $40, ,4O0,00O,O00 to
$2S, 100000, a gain of ST.
600, 1000. This, bear in mind {,
is the gain i'll value Of property,
and does not take into account
the great profits which the farm
ers have made on their crops for
each year since 1900. 1t is a
story of marvellous development.
This gain of 81 100000 is
more than two thirds as great
as the total deposits in all the
national, Stale private and saw
ings banks and all the loan and
trust companies in the country
combined. Vast as is the indus
trial progress Of the United
States, the total Investment in
all the manufacturing interests
of the country is $l4, 900, ,O00,-
600, or less than twice as much
as the actual gain in the value
of farm property III six years.
More than that, the entire capi.
talization, stocks and bonds, of
all the railroads Of the United
States is about $12,0OO,0O0,O ,OO0
to $I3, 100000 900, and the
farmers have added to the value
of their property within 6 years,
without counting their annual
profits during that time, two.

Origin OF Idaho.

There have been good many stories
related as to the origin of the name of
Idaho, but here is the latest one 1t is
youched for by Con Doty, one of the
early pioneers of Idaho, who now re-
sides at Bayhorse. IL is related by him
in o communication to the Salt Lake
Tribune, and Is as follows:
In recent issue Of The Tribune some
one asks about the origin and significance
Of the word Idaho" In 1861 President
Lincoln appointed man by the name
of Fitch captain over an emigrant train.
The train started from St. Paul, Mimi,
and was bound for Walla Walla, via
the northern route MullAn road. At
this time the Indians were restless, and
weak or small parties were forbidden
to travel until q certain number of
wagons were In train; then captain
had TO be elected before the trains were
allowed to move. The train mentioned
consisted of ia wagons. Fitch was
captain. Capt. Fitch had q little
daughter named Ida. Ida's mother
was dead. Little Ida accompanied her
father to Walla Walla. Capt Fitch
did not like 70 have Ida out OF his sight
very much, 30 when Fitch would lose
sight of Ida he would call Ida, Ida.
Ida would answer by saying Ho. In 0
short time the train people gave to Ida
the name of Idaho The name pleased
Capt. Fitch. After the train arrived
at Walla Walla Capt Fitch and littl'
Ida returned 10 st. Paul.
Afterwards Capt Fitch went Il
Washington City. When congress ere
ated the territory of Idaho, Capt. Fitcl
] suggested the name Idaho" for th
] new Territory. The name was accept
, ed and little Ida Ficdh was immortal
ICED.
D At one time the writer WAS PERSONAL
! acquainted with Capt. Fitch and littl
D Ida, but at this writing cannot reca
the captains frst name. This stats
0 ment il authentic and can be relic
0 upon. can't find any authority tbs
5 the word t'Idaho' signifies mountai
o gem or gem of the mountain.

The Army Canteen.

Women banished the canteen
from the army and women are
now seeking to restore it. This
time the movement comes from
wives, sisters, mothers and
daughters of veterans, aided by
other women in sympathy with
them. 1t has been a we'll known
fact that the Punishment of the
canteen has led to the establish
ment of the doggery, an adjunct
of army life more degenerating
in it's influence than any other
known. The canteen is in effect
the saloon under government
restrictions and supervisors.
There was less of drunkenness
during the regime of the canteen
than has been experienced since
it's Punishment. That the tenn
perance people of the land made
a blunder in seeking to do away
with the canteen has long been
recognized by officers of the
army who have on many occa-
sions recommended thas it be re-
habilitated. Strange as it NAV
seem the movement is now in
the hands of the temperance peo-
pie, and is to be called the can
teen temperance movement, and
the fact that it is receiving the
endorsement of those nearest and
dearest to the men to be effect
ed, is a strong recommendation
for it's success.
