PLENTY OF MONEY.
Idaho Banks AaYe Coin and Conf
dence Of the People.

One of the amusing features Of the
money panic now on IS that there is
that there Is hardly q bank in Idaho
that has not steadily increased its de-
posts since the moneo raid was started
The First National bank Of ShOsh0ne Is
a fue example Of this. Perhaps at no
time in its history has It had 50 much
money. or such general confidence that
IL is absolutely safe and sound. Tx
cept for the difficulty in getting cash
for general distribution there Is little
s gn Of a panic here. Certainly there
Is no sign Of it at the bank, where the
money comes in in 4 steady stream
The same is true Of all the banks up
the branch line, az Haley, Bellevue,
and all through the state. About the
only sign Of trouble Is in the shortage
Of real money. though checks, which are
evidences Of real money, are now com
ing back into as current use As ever.
An effort has been made from Salt
Lake 70 railroad all the currency from
the whole inter-mountain country down
there for their own use. Requests for

big projects and with less expense. The
storage dam will be more than 200 feet

HATCH FISH THIS YEAR.
State Hatchery at Hay Spur Getting
Ready to Set Their Hens,

Robert Stiles, who is TO have charge
of the State fish hatchery at Hay Spur.
on the Wood River branch was in town
Thursday, on MS way up to the hatch
cry. He says that the work is pro
crossing very nicely on the grounds.
The state has tract Of 81 acres, and
the hatchery is to be located hardly two
minutes walk from the railroad station.
The water is being brough in pipes
from the springs. instead of building
directly at the springs. where it would
not have been 50 feasible 10 plan the
buildings.
It is too late in the season to count
on doing much more this year than to
get ready for another year, but Mr.
Stiles expects to be far enough along
with the work that he can buy perhaps
a million eggs from a commercial hatch
cry. and hatch them there this winter.
BY next fall the hatchery will be one Of
the busiest places in the state as there
will be enough fish to occupy all the
time of the attendants.
An announcement is made elsewhere
in the Journal calling for bids for the
buildings to be erected for the hatchery.

Arranging a Mystery.

A curious story OF the late Marquis
de Mores is going the rounds of the
Paris press. In his youthful days the
Marquis was cavalry Lieutenant on
an eastern frontier garrison and one
day while out at exercise with a
party Of mounted men they found
themselves on German territory. Their
attention was called to the fact by
an inn on the roadside bearing the
sign: "The King Of Prussia.
"a hundred francs to the man who
brings me that sign" he said loud
enough to be heard, and the party
regained the French side of the from
tier at a gallop. Next morning Lieut.
de Mores found the sign reared up
against the wall of his quarters, and
taking a 100 franc note in one hand
he walked slowly through the stables
with the hand behind his back.
Presently he felt hand take the
note, and voice said quietly;
Thanks, Lieutenant"
De Mores was careful not to look
around or in any direction that could
assist Identification Thus had any
outcry been raised the rape of the
sign" would have been a mystery

$1,000. The Esquimaux had never
seen a horse before and had no

animal. They soon learned to call
it by it's English name. For a long
time the horse was regarded as quite
a curiosity by the natives.
