parents are sending from two TO
four hundred students to outside
schools annually that should be en-
rolled in our own schools and we
trust they will be when these same
parents come to realize that they
can get as good at home as abroad
and at the same time support the
state that furnishes them home
and possibly much of the accumu-
lated wealth gained in the state.
There was no one present who
was not inspired with the logic of
her argument. Every one left the
hall with a determination to do
more boosting" for home and
home institutions. 1t is only regret
able that larger number OF the
parents and young people contem-
plating a college education was not
present. They would have high
er regard for Idaho and her insti-
tutions and a determination to be
more loyal to the institution doing
SO much to make good citizens oi
our boys and girls.

consideration, it certainly is worth
to us. Even should
the road go through to Boise it
will have but little effect on this
town if we improve the highway.
This is the county seat and the
people of that town will come here
to transact their business and do
most of their shopping on the trip.
But as it is, it is almost am inn
possibility to get through the most
favorable time of the year. At

is up to us to look after the roads
which make il possible for them to
get through. This is a matter
that needs attention and should be
looked after at once.

GOATS AT THE FAIR
Mccoy to Exhibit a Number of An
gOraS at the EImOre County
Fair

Scion Mccoy, the man who
handles mail for Uncle Sam at Lit
tie Camas, and one of the first
settlers in that country, was in
town yesterday on a shopping trip.
Besides his duties in the postof-
flee Mr.. Mccoy finds time enough
to devote to flock of Anogra goats
which he purchased about a year
ago. He has in all $50 Angoras
and 80 Spanish Maltese milk goats.
Mr.. Mccoy says that goats are far
ahead of sheep in the matter Of
profitable rearing and keeping.

fruit from Owyhee

Or. Neiswanger of Grand View,
came to Mountain Home this morn
ing TO meet his brother, DR.. Chas.
s. Neiswanger and vile of Chicago,
who will makeIhini an annual visit.
He brought several varieties of the
fruit raised in his orchard. The
plums are worthy Of special men
tion. They are about the size of a
common hens egg and the sweetest
favored plum grown. In preserv-
ing very little sugar in necessary
for sweetening. They are very
juicy and on the whole promise to
be very popular. He exhibited
several peaches that were twice as
large as the ordinary peach.
He arranged with Sec. Purtill to
exhibit samples of fruit grown on
his ranch at the Elmore County
Fair.

the goats commands a price of
thirty-five cents per pound and
each goat will shear from fifteen
to twenty-five pounds. The wool
is very fine and in great demand.
The sire of one of the kids in his
flock was imported direct from
South Africa and sheared twenty
one pounds, the mohaii bringing a
price of SO per pound. They are
very easy keepers and prolific.
The flock will Craze around the
ranch, wandering some distance
during the day, but will invariably
return home at night. They keep
together well and if they should
become scpar atcd in the brush will
become very restless and start home
unless they come together again.
Mr.. Mccoy is going to exhibit a
number of the goats at the Elmore
County fair this month which will
make very interesting exhibit.
He has several registered goats or
dcred from Montana and he will
try and arrange to have them here
in time for the fair.

The Weed Ordinance.

There is an ordinance on the
statute books of the city regarding
the weed nuisance. 1t seems that
such an ordinance would be entire
ly unnecessary, for it would be
naturally supposed that everyone in
the city would have sufficient pride
in the appearance of their property
to keep the weeds cut without any
such steps being necessary. There
has been a force on the streets the
past two weeks cutting and clean
ing the weeds and in some in
stances resistance was met when
they attempted TO clean out some of
the obnoxious weeds that were al
lowed TO grow within the city.
Don't neglect this matter but get
busy and clean up.

IDAHO FOR IDAH0ANS
Ihe Plea of Miss Agatha Jean Soma
in her Address Thursday
Evening.

A fair sized crowd was present
at the opera house last Tuesday
evening to listen to the address of
Miss Soma on "The Idaho Spirit. -
Miss Soma was at the head of
the literary department of the State
university at Moscow and is a
woman of high intellectual attain
ments. Her manner on the plat
form is very pleasing. She is elo-
quent, forceful, witty, logical and
thoroughly conversant with her sub
ject. She has an unusual command
of the English language and never
at any time seemed to hesitate for
the right word to express an idea.
The lecture was interesting and
comprehensive and contained much
thought that should be retained by
every boy and girl as well as the
parents VINO intend going or send
ing their children to a higher
school.
Miss Soma made a plea for high
er education and clearly showed
how every boy and girl in the state
of Idaho could obtain at least q
college education if possessed with
d strong constitution and a deter
mination. "The matter of money
is secondary and should not stand
in the way of any student desiring
to attend the University. The
tuition is absolutely free in all the
departments and there are ample
opportunities for the ambitious boy
or girl to make their way if they
have the proper spirit after they get
there. "She met and ovsrcame the

usual objections advanced by par
ents who are reluctant in sending
their children to the state univer-
sity. The advantage offered by
the home institution was discussed
during which she stated that the
state university is superior in its
equipment to any of the private or
denominational schools or any of
the smaller institution. 1t requires
a vast amount of money 10 run a
college and unless the funds are OBJ
tainable the schools are hampered
in their ability to do good work.
The example of the Jason Lee
Academy at Weiser was sighted as
an example of a college working
against the discourage of lack
of funds. The school has been in
existance under the supervision of
the Methodist church but the ex-
pense was too great and the school
discontinued only last week.
The state of Idaho is unusually
generous with its funds for the needs
of the university and while the
money is spent judjciously, still,
the entire needs of the school are
freely met by the state.
Students should not be sent
out Of the state to the neighboring
schools to attend college. Idaho
schools are sufficient for the needs
of Idaho students and il is folly
70 send away when you can get as
good at home. The state univer-
sity needs the support of its home
people and how can it be expected
to have the prestage and power
of the larger schools when the
very means to make il great are
sent out of the state to outside
schools. If Idaho is good state
to live in. if you are earning your
livelihood in the state of Idano, Il
you prefer Idaho to live in because
of its ideal climate, its unlimited
resources and opportunities for
making money, then Idaho demand:

in the correcting of compositions.
Superintendent Simpich of the

handled the subject of arithmetic
in a mastery and entertaining
manner. Mr.. Simpich discussed
the aims of mathmatical drill oi

THE PRINTING INDUSTRY.

The United States Bureau of the
Census announces the publication OF
Bulletin 70, presenting the detailed
statistics Of the printing and publish
ing industry at the census of manu-
features of 1905. This bulletin was
prepared by William s. Rossiter,
chief clerk of the Census. :s.
The printing industry possesses an
importance which cannot be measured
by capital invested or by the volume
and value of product. Analysis of
the printers calling has become to a
noteworthy degree an analysis OF the
general prosperity OF the nation.
Therefore interest in the progress and
prosperity Of printing is not confined
to those who are connected with the
Industry, ais is frequently the case
with other callings, but is shared by
the entire community. &
IN the Census report the industry
as whole is considered first. This is
followed by a discussion Of the two
principal branches job printing and
newspaper and periodicals.
The total number Of establishments
in this Industry in 1905 was 26.422,
number larger than was reported
Tor any other Industry. The increase
reported from 1900 to Il 05 forms a

First Wedding in Adams County.

The absence of Judge SonderaH
from town during the fore part of the
week prevented the first wedding TAX
ing place in Adams county "A couple
had walked all the way from Wolf
Butte for the purpose OF having the
nuptiaI knot tied, but on arriving here
We're unable to get the necessary
license. And then they walked back
agin." The clerk of the district court
was appealed to, but the stubborn law
would not permit Of his affording the
necessary relief, which was deeply re-
gretted by that official, for next to-
being one of the principals where So
fair a bride-elect had been selected,
he would have taken great pleasure in
making the other Teller happy.

results with small capital, operated
by men Of independent thought and
action, and contributing materially to
the intellectual and financial growth
of the country.
The capital required in 1905 to con-
duct the printing and publishing bus
mess was 1885,, 0OS.6O4. 1t was APP
proximately double that required in
1890, and lit was doubtless due to a
considerable degree to mechanical
changes which have taken place in
this industry during the past ten or
fifteen years. III
The total value of products reported
in 1906 was $496, 1857. During the
brief period from 1900 to 1905 the in
crease in the value of products was
nearly double that from 1S90to 1900,
or, in absolute figures, $149, 006,927
compared with 1901, 915. Had the
per capita value of products been the
same in 1905 as in 1850. the entire
value Of products of the industry
would have been but $52,007,5s8; on
the other hand, had the per capita pro-
duction in 1850 been the same as it
was in 1905, the total value of pro
ducts of the industry at the earlier
census would have amounted to $141,-
47O,444, or almost ten times as much
as the actual amount recorded. I.

Papers in the case brought to test
the legality of the appointment of
Judge Burr in the Ninth judicial
district have been filed in the SUI
preme court. The case is brought
upon the relation of Henry Erick-
son, prominent business man and
tax payer of McHenry county, who
gives security for the costs in the
case. The allegations are that the
appointment is illegal and without
authority of law and that it will be
a matter of hardship for many liti-
giants should cases be tried and de-
termined and it be settled afterwards
that the Judge was holding his Of
flee without warrant of law. The
