To say that Wonderland will be

upon this ten acres of fun for their

Wonderland this season will be bet
ter than ever. All the old features
have been retained and many new
ones added Amusement parks must
be progressive if they would be popu-
lar; the people demand the best, and
in the case of Wonderland they will
get it from the opening day until the
close.

Tenderness to the Old.

Nothing is more beautiful or Christ
like in the character Of the young
than a kind and gentle regard for the
old. They whose failing steps are
slowly descending the sunless slope
Of age have but one consolation as
the years speed by them, and that is
the tenderness and consideration Of
those on whose lives the beauties of
morning are breaking.
Age is season of physical inf1rmity,
or mental retrospection, or shattered
dreams and early disappointments.
No more for the old is there a glamor
in the rolling stars, no more a fresh
ness in the spring, no more triumph
in the years. For them as in a dream
the verdure blooms, the rivers flow,
the birds rejoice. They are specta-
tors of scene whose heritage they
once enjoyed and now see passing to
their successors. No longer sojourn-
ers in this pleasant world. they are
lingering fondly a moment over the
memories of the past. The thousand
melodies of the present sound far off
in their aged ears and it's charms are
blurred in the dimmed eyes whose
tears fall on the graves of old affec-
tions.
Treat them gently, youth and maid
en-, for by their travail and their sac
rifice are ye the possessors not only Of
existence in the world in whose splen-
doris We exult. but also for the pros
perity and happiness We thoughtlessly
enjoy. Never mind if she and he be
old and feeble and of humble garb-
they look to you in their helpless
years to aid with gentle courtesy their
tottering steps. Gods blessing will
reward you if you do.

Dewey Denies 1t.

The Capital News has story tc
the effect that deal is under way
whereby tthe Boise & Interurbar
Railway company may take over a
portion of the Idaho Northern line,
which runs from Nampa to En-
NETT. The matter has been under
consideration for several days and
representatives of the Interurban
line have conferred with Mr.. Dew
ey relative to the purchase and if
a price can be agreed upon the deal
will be put through in short time.
This line would give the Boise
& Interurban company good road
into the thriving town of Emmett
with q run of only 16 miles from
the main line, and would also give
them a good portion of the Nampa
business. If the deal is consum-
mated trolley wires will at once be
strung over the entire system and
cars giving good service will run
between Namps and Emmett.
Here's hoping again; but E. H.
Dewey. president of the Idaho
Northern. says the story is false,
andjt probably is. 1t is not at all
likely that he would sell only por-
ton of the road, and especially the
most profitable end of it.

hoard last week, a franchise was
granted to the Payette Improve
ment & Boom company for logging
purposes on section A of the Paw
cite river, and the rate of tolls to
be charged by the company on sec
tions A and B was determined.
The river is divided into three
sections, A B and c. each section
being so miles in leugth, and the
franchise was granted in considera-
tion of the improvement work done
on the river by the company. The
COMPANY was formerly granted a
franchise on B and c. and the
franchise given Friday ION sec
tion A practically grants a fran
chise for the entire river. The toll
to be charged upon section A, the
upper end of the river, was fixed at
rs cents per 1000 feet, and on B at
so cents per 1000. The rate to be
for toll on section c has
not been determined.
