years. Farm houses, bowered amid
shade trees, began to mark the
desert. lIusbandmen, encouraged
by success, attacked the encroach-
ing ranks Of sage, and new fences
threw out their tentacular arms 10
embrace more reclaimed land.
Across the turgid Snake great dams
were thrown at Miner and Mini
doka, and thr"ugh winding mile on
mile of canals water was conducted
to the battle front of this war of
extermination against the sage, as
artillery is hhrried to the firing line.
In two fleeing years a domain
larger than = European kingdom or
an eastern state was transformed in,
to fields and farms. Within an
equal period 100, 900 acres on the
north side pf the Snake will have
been reclaimed; in another year the
immense Minidoka tract will have
been made to blossom as the rose;
in six mopths the canals of the
American Falls project Will have
effected the redemption Of so, 900
acres; within eighteen months the
Fort Hall tract will have emerged
from the desert; before another
summer jOmes the BolseP Payette
project will be carrying water to a
thirsty eEplre, to enact another
wonder of the west. The Lost River
project, The Bruneau project, the
Marysville project, the Mountain
home project score of projects
big and liitle-are trendlng toward
other speedy redemptions, are grid
ing up their loins for final fght
with the sombre desert Of Idaho
sage.
1t is an Unfair fight. On the ont
side is arrayed the overwhelming
forces ofimodern civilization, hund
reds of thousands of homemaker
and homeseekers, the wealth Of tn
east, the indomitable energy of th'
stronglihbed and strong hearte,
men ofI1'he New Idaho. On th
other hand is merely the quiet an
helpless desert, blinking IN the sun
light of summer, brooaing in th
storms bf winter-silent, tremendoul
lone, austere! Its army-masse
ranks d sagebrush in serrated co
umns and tiles-awaits, leaderlesi
its annlhilation.
Why not, then, a fiesta de salvl
to MAJ the passing of the sage
Why pot fete to honor the deaf
; of the desert?-L. Bush Liyermor'

WANTED IN BALTIMORE.
Admissions by Man Arrested by
Detectives

Dean c. Jackson twenty-seven years of
age, admitted last night that he had been
known under the assumed names of Fred
erik A. Garfield and Lloyd E. Jackson
and also that he has two wives living one
in This city and one in Baltimore. Detec-
tives Pratt and Mullen of this city and De-
tective Coughlin of Baltimore found him
at the home of his first wife, II Virginia
avenue southwest.
II knew my second wife, in Baltimore
Rad sworn out warrant for me-" the
prisoner said "but / thought l might just
"a well remain and face the music now as
any other time"
After he had been questioned at police
HEADQUARTERS Jackson accompanied the
Baltimore detective to that city in order
tha. nc might respond to the charge pre-
ferrei against him by his second wife
JACKSON is the man who figured in a street
sc rne in Baltimore about two weeks ago.
wien he went there and saw wife No. 2.
1t was the first time she had seen him
snre his alleged desertion of her. she
stated, and she grabbed him to turn him
over to the police. but he pulled away from
her and returned to this city. The woman
then appeared before Magistrate Grammar
and svore out warrant for his arrest. 1t
was 5 ated that he was living on New Jer
sey avenue southeast, but the occupants OF
the hOIse indicated denied that such a
man rad ever lived there.
TIE Baltimore detective yesterday came
her in search of Jackson and it was sew
erHl hours before he was located at the
Virginia avenue house. In April. 1903,
Jackson and Miss Mary Virginia Shreeve,
VIII" lived on the Foxhall road were mar
red \ son born to them. Just three
years after his marriage to Miss Shreeve,
he admitted last night, he became the hus-
band of Miss Edna Evans. who resided at
1Ci2 Hartford avenue, Baltimore. Recently
he learned that wife No. 2 had become a
mother, but he has not yet seen the child.
Jackson was employed by the Pennsylvania
railroad in this city. and when he went to
Baltimore he worked for the Northern Cen
tr / railroad. There he was known by the
name of Garfield. He says he met Miss
Evans about two weeks before they were
married. HeI beauty he says, attracted
him, and after meeting her he attended one
her and sang in the choir. The prisoner
said he knew he was doing wrong. but he
did not realize the seriousness of his con-
duct until after he had been married.
The morning of April 81 of last year, he
said, he drew his pay and made up his
mind he would return here and renew his
family ties. but he met some friends and
had a few drinks Then he called at the
place where Miss Evans was employed, in
tending to bid her farewell, but instead of
doing so he married her. Two weeks after
they were married, he stated his wife re-
turned to her parents and he came back to
this city. Jackson last year was employed
as a motorman on one of the street car
lines in this city and was arrested upon a
charge of taking quantity of tickets from
another empioye of the road. The record
SLOWS that he was fined $50.

A Pet Tiger.

Out of a river bed where it had tum-
bled when its dam was put to flight
some hunters in India tished a tiger
cub. In two days it was as tame as a
kitten and grew up the playmate Of
the camp terriers. 1t was very fond
of them and the terriers worshiped the
tigress. To aIlay the fears of a woman
visitor the tigress was one night chain
ed up. Next morning the animal was
found with man under her. She had
not hurt him. He was thief and, not
knowing of her existence, had come
within the area which her length of
chain enabled her to command. She
sprang upon him, lay on him and kept
him prisoner until guards came to re-
lease him.

The child who is taught to love ami

is introduced to friend of the truest
and best kind-the kind of friendship
that lasts. Have you never had a dog?
Then you don't know what pleasure
can be had in his companionship in
rambles, in his quiet presence in your
room, his unobtrusiveness when human
company would bore you; ''chum'
who always adapts himself to your
mood when man or woman would jar
upon you. By all means cultivate in
children love of animals, especially
of "man's best friend" the dog.-New
