MARRYING for Love,

Happy marriages are surely possible
even in these unpoetic, hard.hearted
times. They are. if the people will
only follow the instinct Of their better
natures and marry for love-the rever.

the maiden, the pure, unsophistlcated
affection of the maiden for the man
Instead of bartering happiness for

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
Seville is GAME.

Seattle does not want an ap-
preparation from Congress for the
AIaska-Yuk exposition in 1909
and the directors declared it has
never been the intention to ask for
help. They do want government
participation, however, and this
desire was expressed in aresolution
containing a section that renders
Uncle Sam immune from the disease
known as touchitis. All Seattle
asks is that the government make
sufficient appropriation for the
representation for itself, for Alaska
Hawaii and the Philippines.
In view of the history of con-
grcss-helped expositions, it seems
this request is very reasonable.
Since the United States began
40 patronize expositions congress
mas appropriated S2s.752, $50, of
which only $485, 900 was spent
west of the Rocky mountains, and
that at the Lewis and Clark show
an Portland.
The east has not hesitated to
request large donations, aside fiom
government participation, and
they have not been refused. Five
million dollars was donated the
Louisiana Purchase exposition.
Later ST. Louis asked for 50, 600, =
600 and it was granted by con-
grcss in shape of a loan which
was, strange as it may seem, paid
back. Jamestown at different times
managed to get $500, 900 in dona-
eions and late loan of $4,000,
900 which is regarded the same as
"a gift.
Oth>r instances of the kind could

PRAISES IDAHO EXPERIMENT.

The University of Idaho is to

tary of agriculture, on his visit to

much pleased, - he said, with
the conditions at the Idaho station.
Morrill, hall is a most creditable
building and constructed on intelli-
gent working lines. The way TO
build up great school and station
for agricultural purposes is to COM
mence right. Idaho has made a
proper beginning.
These are encouraging words,
and the fact that they are deserving
makes them all the more appreci-
able. Mention was made by Mr..
Hayes of the development of Idaho
from mining and grazing state to
one in which farming was taking a
foremost place, and he told of the
intention of ths United States gov
eminent to cooperate with Idaho
at the university in a series of ex-
periments with cattle. Such assur :
ances from an official source are
always gratifying. The UNIVERSE
I ty of Idaho, recovering as it is by
a noble effort from the effects of a
disastrous fire, is demonstrating its
right to encouragement and support.
The experimental station has
been department of the university
since 1892. In 1896 a large farm
was purchased by citizens of Mos
COW and donated to the station.
Students of the college IF agricul-
turc to do much of the practical
work on the farm. Buildings and
equipment are provided for expert
mentation and instruction. Though
still in its infancy the station has
done great deal for the promotion
of successful farming. methods In

formed by Mr.. Hayes is based on {

The press offers to yield COR
ncr for school items and with the
greatest interest we shall take the
opportunity of thus getting into
closer touch with the community.
This has been our hope and desire
for some time, for we have felt
that the size OF our school demands a
definite step in this direction.
Thus from time to time there will
appear in the Maverick school news
OF interest, compositions by some
of our literary genii, translations
of some of the famous ancient
pieces of literature, mathematical
solutions, natural philosophy, his
tory and other work along diff erent
lines adapted for publication.
Everything will be presented in
the most attractive manner possible.
Our aim is to gain the interest of
the community in the life of the
school and in the work that it is
doing. We wish this also to be
means of broadening and inspir-
ing the thoughts of the pupils; a
means of developing literary spirit,
of instilling friendly spirit of
competition and of creating school
patriotism.

grade were absent last week on ac-
count of the fair but the attendance
was very good.
Lucy Ertz has enrolled as a new
pupil in the 9th grade and all are
glad to see her pack again.
The High School exhibit at the
fair was very good all receiving
great praise.
The work III the High School
has been slightly broken up on
account of some unfinished work
to be completed before school could
progress properly
Last Saturday party of High
School boys and girls, chaperoned
by Miss Spencer, paid a visit to
the cave north of town. BY all
reports the trip was not without
adventure. A detailed account
