But the people of Roseberry
believe in their little city and in
the country surrounding it as the
people of Twin Falls believe in the
blossoming desert and as l believe
in Idaho. They know that the
slopes of the mountains which
guard their little group of home
crofts are heavily timbered and
that the soil of Long Valley will
equal any in production. They
know that the North Fork of the
Payette furnishes water grade for
a railroad which will ultimately be
constructed. And so the people of
Roseberry remain removed from
civilization and combat adversely
in order that they may eventually
reap the harvest of their labors.

Long Valley, which varies in width
from six to fourteen miles and is
sixty miles in length. Thirteen

such sturdy and enthusiastic souls

boasts $4,000 hotel, the best in
three counties. There is also a
large new school building and many
substantial private homes are un-

evolvement has been engineered by
minister, named Warner, and who
mas forgotten the ethics of the cloth

The Three Friends
A story for Children.

Once unon a time there lived a man
who had three friends. The first OF these
he loved very dearly indeed, the second
he also loved but not with so great an
affection as the first. and to the third he
was only attached by the slightest ties
of affection. and to him he had shown
no attention or regard.
Now, the king of the country III whlch
this man lived sent an officer to hlm de-
manding his immediate presence before
him. The man was greatly frightened
at the summons He feared that some
one must have spoken evil OF him to the
king. or mad accused him falsely OF some
crime ha had not committed. lie was so
afraid to 90 alone that he determined to
ask one of his friends to accompany
him TO give him the benefit OF his COM
panv and his support. Naturally, he
asked first the man who was his dearest
friend. But to his astonishment. ms
friend absolutely declined to go with
him. He would not even give reason
or excuse for his refusal.
Much hurt. the man went to his sec.
ond friend. "Well.' said the latter, l
will 90 with you as far as the palace
gates. but l will certainly not go before
the king with you to support you. .
In dispair. the man went in search OF
his third friend, whose friendship he
had neglected and despised.
Certainly. l will come said he !;
Il will speak for you and go with you
into the presence of the king: DO not
be afr, id l will leave you until you are
free from your anxiety and trouble:
When soul is summoned to It's
Maker. it looks for three friends FOR
support in the Day of Judgment me
first friend is typified by the worldly
possessions of ran. They cannot go
with him nor win his pardon; they re-
main behind. -,
The second friend is typified by the
dear ones, his kith and kin, who can
only follow him to the grave, the pal
ace gates of Paradise.
But the third friend is typified by the
good deeds and noble impulses OF the
man. which alone go with him ana
speak on his behalf before the throne
of the Most High.

H0W P0rtel:S Get Their Tins

What's the easiest way to get a tip?
A hotel porter gave some interesting
information regarding this subject the
other day. "Call man by name" he
said Did you ever notice that when
man gets on a train and the con-
ductor happens to know his name the
man gets all puffed up? 1 don't know
why but it f1atters the man immense

all the time. When time for brush
ing up comes the porter with his lit
tie broom approaches the victim and
says cheerfully: Good bOrning, Mr..
Brown; have yo' coat breshed?' You
can see that man puff up like pouter
pigeon. OF course everyone in the car
has heard his name and Mr.. Brown
knows that they think he is president

DAMNED, OR DAMNED.

We are shocked Jared -astounded-
at the profane result Of the meeting of
the Commercial club directors yester-
day afternoon, reported in that bright,
accurate and incomparably newsy
sheet, the Morning Union. That such
action could be taken be men of the
character and standing Of the club
directors is almost incrediblt-surpas-
sing belief, but for the fact that nothing
so preposterous would be permitted to
appear i'm the Union unless it We're
based on positive facts.
According to the Union, those direc-
tors of the Commercial club, reversing
their announced policy of fostering
trade and the open rivers, deliberately
decided that the Snake river shall lose
all hope of celestial preferment-in
fact, to quote the headlines, Snake
River To Be Damned that waterway
is to be consigned to everlasting per-
dition, sans salvation, or redemption.
We have known of many things
damned, collectively and individually.
Cats, with nocturnal musical propen-
stiles, have been damned-cuSSed off
the earth Men have been damned--and
some times have retaliated by putting
the damnedeSt sort of a head on the
fellow who proffered the damnation.
Even in the senate of the United States,
Ben Tillman. Foraker and Spooner have
damned each other and the president,
while Willie Hearst has damned the
bunch ad libitum. The public has
damned the coal man and the coal man
has damned the railroads. And. for a

demptiOn of a girl of the slums. MOL
O'Hara is not an evil woman, but is
placed in an evil environment, and the
gradual development of her character
is simple yet convincing argument
for truth. While it is to degree
story of low life, it yet has scenes
placed among the higher classes. and
there is practically an even division
of atmosphere in this respect.
The plot deals with the efforts of
Miss Thompson, a wealthy young
woman who has volunteered for set
Element work, TO raise the poor to a
higher level. She is particularly in
terested in Mol O'Hara. and manages
to uplift the spirit of the latter to
it's proper place above evil. In her
turn. Mol O'Hara sacrifices her whole
life to save Miss Thompson from what
would have been an unfortunate mar
riage. The climax is masterfully ap-
preached in the third act, when Mol
has lured the unfaithful sutton for the
hand of Miss Thompson into her
home, merely to prove his real charac-
ter. She succeeds, and is found in his
arms as the door opens, and Mol is
compromised also. This climax, vivid

Westcott was modest merchant
