Boise Clearing House Formed.


The banks OF Boise have had un-
der consideration for some time the
advisablllty Of establishing a clearing
house for this city and vicinity, says
the Boise Capital News. They felt
that such an association. bound to-
gether as they would be, would afford
additional protection to the banking
business and the people OF the state,
even though no special reason for
this security exists. The banks are
all in first class shape, hive an abun-
dnce Of money and individually could
stand almost any strain that might be
put upon them, but acting collective
ly they will be impregnable.
The arrangements were completed
today by the election of officers and
directors and the following statement
was issued by President Coffin and
Secretary Coates Of the new associa-
ton:
IAN the principal clearing house
associations in the United States have
gone on a clearing house basis and at
the suggestion or all the banks, the
Boise bankers held a meeting at the
Commercial club today and formed

ter its formation discussed the finan-

school building at College Place, by
being hired by the architect, A. l..
Wilson, to superintend the erection
OF the building at salary of s. per
day, his wages totaling $500.
Evidence showed that Armstrong
made a rough draft of the plans for
the building, then turned the matter
over to Architect Wilson to be work.
ed out in detail Armstrong was also
employed part Of the time as carpen-

The prosecution claimed that Arm

building, his employment as superln-

the law. The jury was out less than
90 minutes.

the Scientific American, show 1t to be
one of the best alcohol producing
plants, a ton of the root-stock yield
ing thirty-five gallons of alcohol.
The plant is easily and cheaply grown
and the yield is very large, soil Of
average quality yielding ten tons to
the acre. At from 80 to 40 cents q

fore be from 35 to $40 an acre. This
profit is greater than that derived

person who eats pork, is bar
barian. Animals caught in steel
traps are often left IN the trap for
two or three days without a broken
leg. But a man who depends on
his traps for living isn't going
to let them remain unset that
long.
It is safe to say that nearly one
half of the fur-bearing animals
caught in the United States are
muskrats, but you never hear a
lady speak of her muskrat muff or
jacket or boa. Sometimes there
are men vulgar enough to wear
muskrat caps. but that same cap
with a little dye on it's called
beaver by men with more money.
(And paid beaver price for. }
The poorer grade OF muskrat
skins have the fur removed and
are converted into thin leather,
which is used in gloves, book
binding, etc, Raccoon skins are
often plucked, that is, the long
hair is removed, leaving only
the fur, and sold for genuine bea-
yer. Indeed, it takes an expert to
tell it from the real beaver. There
are very few fur articles that are
not dyed The reason for this is
that fur from animals Of the same
species are seldom the same color.
And If they are the same as to col
OF, they are liable to be Of a differ
ent texture.
There are several other features
of the fur business that are inter
esting; but [ have already taken

mention them in this paper.

4 Watermelon Incident.

I was idly scanning the columns
of the morning paper when the
door opened and in came Mr.. Fay.
"Well,". said he, what does the
paper say about it?' OF course,
1 knew he was simply joshing, but
replied: ''The paper informs me
that the watermelon crop will be
a failure" Jack seated himself
and said: "That reminds me of
my little experience with water
melons. If you've nothing to do
I'll tell you about it.
"When I was a boy, reading
Dan Boone, Davey Crockett, etc.,
l was ambitious to start out in
life and carve out a career. At
that time we were living south of
the Mason and Dixon line, and it
was customary for The Big Show
to visit our town each summer.
On one of these visits, and while
the show people were raklng in
the peoples money, I got to talk
ing with a show man and he prom
ised to send me something from
London when the show went there.
[ was waiting to hear from my
friend, but finally concluded that
he had never reached London; but
he did, and one day carelessly
sauntered into an English tavern,
approached the desk, laid down a
watermelon and told fair-haired
lassie to let the people help them-
selves to the melon. Well, sir, the
guests of the house lived off of
that melon for two weeks, then
the fellow sent me box of the
seeds.
81 placed the seeds in cinder
box; ma dumped the cinders in the
alley; and the wind scattered them
over my two vacant lots, then it
rained. Talk about watermelons!
When the circus came to town
that fall I made a deal with the
manager whereby I wac to let him
pitch the big tent on those two
lots and the circus outfit was to
help me get the crop loaded on
two sixteen-f1at. Car trains. By the
use of derricks we loaded the
melons on circus wagons and off
of the wagons on to flat cars. In
those days the United States gov
eminent wasn't making money of
a larger denomination than one
thousand dollar notes, 80 | had to
accept bushel basket of such
notes for the crop. Giving the

eve went from our town to an
other and so on until we went into
winter quarters up in Mlchi-
gan city of some forty thousand
persons. I'll admit it was a won
derful melon, but, of course, it
wouldn't keep and be in shape to
exhibit the following season. So
-scorning the offer of scientific
men, who stated for paltry thou
sand they would prepare a liquid
which would preserve the melon
for five years. ordered ninety
eight men to carve it and feed the
poor. However, there was a gen.
erai feast which lasted until the
circus departed from the city the
following spring-and took the
rinds along to feed the seventh
WONDER recently, as the bills
showed, imported from the heart
of darkest Africa.
II realized handsome sum
from the curious people, who,
came from the four corners Of the
fairest land the sun ever shone on
to see that melon; but it was that
kind of money which comes easy
and goes easy, and before [ knew
1T [ was broke.
''The circus was gone, and I was,
stranded, as 1 thought, in strange
land for, when broke, nobody re-
membered my generosity. I re-
allied this all the more when [
got back to my native town and
learned that my parents had gone
to Paris to live. [ had so changed
that my poor relations failed to
recognize me, and I became, so to
speak; an orphan boy left to hoe
his own row."
Mr.. Fay arose, walked out of
the shop, and as he paused to
glance down the avenue I thought
[ detected a smile on his face.
He then resumed his walking and
by the time he reached the OPP
posite side of The street I had
murmured: 81 don't believe him.

4 Few Phases Of
the Fur Trade.

Paper Read Before the Chautd'Q'ta Circle.
They say "there are tricks in all
trades" and I would add that
there are more tricks in the fur
trade than any other. And why
shouldn't there be? The captur-
ing of fur.bearing animals and.the
barter in their fur has been prac-
ticed ever since people first wore
clothes. And I am inclined to
believe that if men had used the
