1T IS FUNNY.

It is rather funny to the observing
man to drive over the country and dis
cover that every run down farm, every
neglected orchard, every half cult
waited field, every old shack of house
a1d every wobbly old barn in the
county is located along the public
roads. Yet this is true. And il is
nothing but crime that such is the
fact. 1t is a crime because it is a
positive injury TO every other farm in
the county. The stranger passing
through the county forms his opinion
of the county from the things he sees,
and when he sees a run down farm
with its scraggly trees and old build
ings he concludes that there is some
thing wrong with the whole country.
We know this just as every man who
has been in the real estate business
knows that it is fact, and there ought
to be law passed compelling those
who own farms along public roads to
keep them in decent order. If the
orchard is not wanted have 1t dug up
and in its place let the stranger see a
patch of clover that will grow in rank
profusion. The tumbled down barn
should be hauled away and made into
kindling wood, while the old rails and
rubbish could be utilized for a like
purpose. Some may laugh at this but
there is plenty Of reason in it just the
same, and if the ideas suggested were
carried out it would add a great deal to
the selling price Of every acre of land.
A we'll kept farm is great advertise
ment for any section and always brings
more on the market than a piece of
land just as good that looks like it had
been deserted for thousand years. II
you want to sell out make your farm
attractive.

The jurors in the Steunenberg muir
der case down at Boise all seem to
have suddenly acquired deep-rooted
opinions regarding certain phases of the
case or else are strongly opposed to
capital punishment. In fact the
Socialists and members of the miners
union are apparently the only ones will
ing to be jurors and it looks much as if
other citizens are afraid to serve for fear
OF violence being done them in case
they return verdicts against the prison
ers. This is certainly pretty state of
affairs and one of which no state can
be proud. We have nothing against
labor unions in general but if their
head men cannot stand fair trial and
intimidating methods must be resorted
TO in order to escape justice we say the
unions are rapidly assuming the anar-
chistic stage, instead of following out
the original aim for which they were
started, and may soon have to be dealt
with accordingly. -Camas Prairie

Strange as it may seem there are
few communities that cannot boast Of
at least one or two knockers. These
individuals spend their time throwing
cold water on every project proposed
to build up the town, and knock every
movement started for the purpose Of
advancing the best interests of the
community. Talk good roads and
they laugh at you. The town needs
better streets, but these knockers
frown at every effort that would make
the streets of the town better. A
water system is desired and admitted
TO be a crying necessity but the knocker
looks cross whenever the subject is
mentioned and if asked to support such
a movement has an excuse that re-
quires his time elsewhere. 1t makes
no difference what it is, the knocker
knocks. 1t makes no difference what
is attempted to be done he gets
out his hammer and lands few times
just to let the people know that he is
on earth. He is a knocker and he
wants the public to know it. He is
pessimistic, blue, disgruntled and I'M
happy and gets mad because every
body else in the community wears a
smile and is happy. Troy may or may
not have such citizens, but if any town
is thus cursed it ought to invest in
enough chloroform to put the unfortu-
mates out of their misery. What town
needs is boosters who boost and the
citizen who refuses to assist in this
necessary work ought to move on. Be
booster. Hurrah for your town and
look pleasant. Do this for the very
simple reason that it will pay.

as may be gathered from the following
Characteristic story which has recent

Farmer Jan was walking sadly
down the road one day. when the
village pastor met him.
why so sad, Farmer JAM" said
the pastor.
"Ah! have very sad errand, pas
tor" replied Jan.
What is it?"
Farmer HeErik's COW is dead in
my pasture. and I am On my way to
tell him."
"a hard task, jan"
Indeed it is pastor, but l shall
break it to him gently"
How will you do that?"
81 shall tell him first that it is his
mother that is dead. and then, having
opened the way for the telling of sad
der news, l shall say to him that it is
not his mother, but the cow!"
