writes:
"Having tried many remedies for
chronic catarrh of the bronchial tubes,
and not receiving any benefit, 1 began
to think there was no help for me until
I began to use Peruna.
Gin short time the bronchial tubes
began to clear, did not have that frog
in my throat continually, my voice was
not nearly SO husky, and the wheeling
noise disappeared.
81 was soon able to believe that was
entirely free from catarrh. and as this
was several months ago, do not believe
that it will return"

A SENSIBLE STATESMAN

Much has been said by members Of
congress about the large expense nee
cessary to live in Washington. SO
when they cut out their railroad pass.
es they voted themselves $4,000 more
per annum so as TO come out even.
Mr.. Tyndall of Missouri whose term
has just expired says that he saved
nearly $1,000 from his salary in one
term by doing his own work and be-
ing economical. He received $4,000
salary, saved the Sl400 allowed for a
clerk and most of his mileage. He
left his family at home and he lived
on $40 a month. Now he is at home
with enough money to start a country
bank. 1t takes the man from Missouri
to 'show" what may be done.

shall have something to say hereafter.
Their authors and promoters think
they will cause great reforms but this

PRELIMINARY SkIRM,sH

Although more than year will
elapse before the convention will meet
to nominate Il candidate for president,
q preliminary skirmish has already
begun in good earnest. This is true
with especial emphasis back in ohio
where Senator Foraker has challenged
Secretary Taft for a show down at the
primaries, the one defeated to step
down and out. II Secretary Taft can
win out there against the united efforts
ofboth senators and friends twill give
him great prestige before the National
Convention. Representatives. are that
the friends of the two factions will get
together and make a compromise that
will prevent such q contest and give
Judge Taft the unanimous support OF
that state for the presidency. Taking
the strong friendship and close politi-
cal relation between the two men it is
clearly evident that the President will
hope for the success of his chief Sec
rotary, and this will be a strong fac
tor in the contest If it cannot be pre-
vented. Such compromise would be
nothing new in Ohio. One was made
about fifteen years ago when an agree
ment was reachedby thepolitical lead
ers that Mckinley should have the del
egation for president, Foraker should
be supported for senator and Bushnell
should be nominated for governor. In
this way they avoided bitter faction

Supervisor Esbeck is busy man

suDerintend, his public work as Coun-
ty Supervisor to look after and in adj
dition much time and labor must be
given as director and member of the
Executive Committee of the electric
line to be built this year from Allan
tic to Kimballton. When the board
adjourned last week he went down to
attend a directors meeting to meet
MIR. Judd, who has the contract to
make the final survey. That gentle
man stated that his surveyors would
arrive this week to commence the rum
ming OF two lines, giving detailed es-
Inmates of expense, the difficulties TO
be encountered and the amountof dirt
to be moved. A report ofthiS meeting
says that this part OF the work is alb
solutely necessary before construction
can begin and it is thought that dirt
will be flying not later than the first
week in May. The construction COM
pany will run two lines for the pro-
posed line, and upon the cost OF the
two will depend largely which one is
selected. Besides the actual cost OF
the two lines, what the people along
the two lines will do in the matter of
right of way and other concessions
will also enter into the final determi-
nation of which way it will run. That
is, one route may cost several thou
sand dollars more for construction
than the other, buff the people along
the line of the more expensive route
will make up the difference in cost of
construction between the two lines. in
the way of right ofway and other con.
cessions, the more expensive route
may he selected in preference to the
cheaper route. But little can be done
in the way Of securing right of way
until the actual locating surveys are
completed. There was almost full
meeting of the board, including the
representatives from Elk Horn and
Kimballton. Much other business of

lNDeTERMlNATE SENTENCE,

One of the good laws passed by the
general assembly this winter is that
providing for the indeterminate sem
tence in dealing with the criminal
class. The length of n sentence will
depend not so much upon the crime
for which it was given as it will upon
the sincerity and the effort by the
criminal to make complete refor-

citizen, This reformation system has
been tried in other states with good
results in removing criminals from
that class to that of law-abiding citi.

any loss to one was an advantage
to the other, and thus real ioy

In the scramble to secure the
unmolested use of water, the old

court, setting aside certain amounts
OF water to each and directing
that the surplus, if any, be left
to later settlers. This was a source

And when any move has been

er Lost River" with teeming

have been farming but little are
farming on grander scale. The
man who has been reapipg small
profits from his "bottom laud'7
is breaking it up to raise the bet
ter crop of cultivated hay, grain or
sugar beets. He who can get ex-
ira help is farming more acres and
doing it more thoroughly. He is
seeking to get better breeds of
stock and poultry, to get in clos
err touch with the markets and his
nelghbors and in general way is
disF osed to put his shoulder to the
wheel of progress. The man who
owns stock on the range is allot-
ted certain territory and is pro-
tected in usingit, and if this brings
more good than the old system,
it will be a step in the direction
OF cooperation in other things.
Two of the largest school districts

To carry the storage i,lustra

the three sections of the valley
were consolidated, and all the
waters Of the valley were stored,
both in the irrigating season and
out of it, and were drawn out for
use wherever needed, granting
that the above theory of percol' .
tion and return of water to the
riverbed is correct, the practical
working of the system would be
something like this: Build an
open reservoir at the Narrows.
Farmers in the first section would
be encouraged to use all the water
possible IN May and June to detain
it in the soil, which in turn would
feed the river and the open storage
reservoir at The Narrows in July
and August. In May and June
the open reservoir would be full

section two would be permitted to
use all the water they could in

tanned in the soil to return to the

the heat of summer, and the water

ervoirs are made in any cool val
ley, whether it be at The Narrows
or in Antelope Canyon or else
where, new industries follow as
sure as civilization comes in touch
with them.
Stocking the reservoir with
trout for commercial purposes
builds up a great fishing industry,
and making resort for fishermen
adds greatly to the business of the
community. The season when
people will 60 out to sport with
the tinny tribes, lasts from March
until November, and if good fish
ing is provided at any point along
a railroad, people will 60 almost
any distance to spend some time
and money at the resort. 1t fol-
lows then, that hotels, boats and
vehicles will be in demand as long
as the fishing season lasts, and the
sportsman always expects to pay
good prices for what he gets.
Hotels make a market for the pro
ducts of the country, such as vege-
tables, fruits, meats, dairy pro
ducts, etc., and the greater the
amount of tourist travel, the
greater the consumption of these
products.
AS the hot valleys settle up and
become more devoted to agricul-
ture, the more varied bloom from
the crops increases the number of
persons who flee from home in
July and August to avoid hay
fever and hay asthma, and these
would find relief on the shores of
lakes in this altitude. Summer
school for teachers could be held
in no better places than in these
high cool valleys, and the greater
the population about the reservoirs
and greater the value of the land
because of the ready market for
produce.

There are comparatively few
places where a good quality of ice
can be obtained in great quantity
and for long period without in
terruption. The certainty of heavy
freezing for several weeks in this
valley makes 1t an ideal pace to
harvest ice, and it could be shipped
out in trainloads without loss, to
ice houses on the main line, with
out the feature of uncertainty from
currents and varying
weather that has always attended
the ice harvest at the big bend of
Snake River at Market Lake. The
of the tourists and
fisherman in the fails would soon
be followed by the incoming ice
gangs to ill the hotels and make
business and employment for the
winter months.
