writers-all papers and all copies,
which must be prepared with equal
care, were written out in long hand by
Mr.. Parmenter. 1t is a marked proof
of his ability as well as of his infinite
faculty for taking pains, that of the
more than 300 indictments prepared
by him during his term of service as
states attorney, not one was ever
quashed.
In October, 1877, he formed a part
nership with Joseph l.. Haas, still a
member of this bar, which continued
TO Jan. !, 1882, when it was dissolved
by mutual consent.
In 1896 he was appointed master
in chancery of this court and held
that office until after the Novembe-
elections of 1900, when he was elected
judge of the county court. of this coun-
ty, and held that office until the time
of his death
The fame of all lawyers, however
eminent, is brief, and almost certain
to die with the memory of intimate
associates and clients We read, o.
try to read, the leading cases, and We
learn, perhaps, something of the
learned jurists who wrote the deci-
sions, thereby attaining to at least
some degree of fame to be handed
down to the succeeding generation OF
the profession. but of the equally
learned practitioner whose conception
of the principles which underlie the
science of jurisprudence. whose analy-
sis of the seemingly hopeless maze of
presidents and whose application OF
the law as a live science to be ey-
pounded, ii is true, in the light of the
wisdom of the past, but not to be ham

Outgrown, has made these decisions

are likely to know nothing.
Place as n Lawyer.
But there is one place where, an l
one body of men among whom, the
| lawyer is known. That place is the
court in which he practices and that
| body of men consists of his associates
at the bar. An honorable place at the
bar cannot be purchased, inherited G.
| transferred. 1t is the peculiar prop
erty of him who has it, earned by his
own efforts and it dies with him. Here
every man is known and set down for
his full and true worth Here nothing
is gained by false pretense, or vain
professions. The relations of fellow
lawyers is too intimate for any man
to long deceive his fellows, and attain
a place at the bar to which he is not
| entitled by his learning and ability
| "Of Judge Parmenter's place at this
| bar it should be said that as lawyer
he was Jealous and active and faith
| full to the interests of his clients and
| that all affairs committed to his
| charge were well and faithfully man
aged and that he brought to his pro
| fessional duties an innate honesty
which he preserved to the end.

morning to spend an hour pouring
over his coveted books.
IAN incident of the early life of the
studious farm boy should be told, for
it shows that the determination when
characterized the man was but the de-
boy. He was, as | have said, accuS-
toned to arise early in the morning,
before the call to the fields, for tn :
purposes of study. But tired nature
asserting herself, he found himself
sometimes oversleeping, and forced 70
go to work without the coveted hOIr
with his books. To avoid this, he con
structed a novel alarm clock. consist
ing of an ingenious system of levers,
which were III some manner cOnnecte.
with the hands of a clock, arranged
i that when the hour hand pointed to 1,
the levers would operate TO ring bell
with which they were connected. This
| imprOvised alarm worked well enough
so long as the sleeper obeyed it, but
/ in time he, as many of us have since
done, continued his slumbers, notwitn-
standing his summons. He then per
| fected his invention by abandonin5
the bell and substituting a weight
which was attached to a clothes pih.
| The clothes pin was attached to his
hair. At the appointed hour the
weight would be released, the clothes
pin pull the sleeper's hair and an
early rising student would soon be n

Parmenter was distinctively a product
and citizen of Rock Island county.
His father. Lorenzo Parmenter,
came to this county pioneer, in 1883,
and settled upon farm in Andalusia
township. May Is, 1871, he married
kezia Robbins. June "A, 1S43, Judge
Parmenter was born. Of his early life
We know this; that it was marked by
the industry which always characte"-
lied him and by an indomitable desire
for education and a broader knowledge
than the laborious life of boy on a
pioneer farm could afford. We find
him attending the district schools, two
miles away; in season and out he was
pouring over his books, studying late
into the night, grudgingly yielding,
when yield he must, to natures de-
mand for sleep, only to arise, before
4 i'll the morning, to resume his studies
before being called unto the work Cf
the day.

young Parmenter improved t. the ut

the academy by its principal to his

THE BOISE TIMES.

A Sunday morning paper with
all the departments of telegraphic
and local news, illustrated supple
ments and diversified matter now
current in the large Sunday daihes
is the unique and pleasant promise
given to the people of Boise by
the Joseph Collins Company in the
Forthcoming appearance Of the
Boise Times. There are some men
incapable of undertaking any but
a great project and Collins is one
of these. And his Boise Times, as
projected, will be the biggest ex-
clusively Sunday paper in the
United States and comparatively
speaking according to its field,
the biggest newspaper enterprise
in the United States. May its
success be just as big.

THE CITIZEN occupies field
peculiarly its own and its aims and
purposes are distinctive. 1t is a
Democratic paper, capable at all
times of giving a reason for the
faith that is within us, and valiant

True to the people, and with a
purpose back of its publication, it
takes its place in that glorious
Lnighthood for the undoing of
human wrong
As the circulation of THE CIrI-
ZEN grows, its influence enlarges
and as a propaganda paper for the
Democratic party its circulation
should be state wide. The sub

less; as we will send THE CITIZEN

expanding commerce and steady
growth.
1t is more, however, than a good
business point it is a city of homes,
of churches, of schools, of shaded
streets and verdant lawns The
residences do not touch elbows, as
though breathing room was at a
premium. Instead, they are sur
rounded by extensive lawns and
beautiful grounds. Tree-fringed
paths wind from the gateways to
the houses. Poplars and naples,
locusts and elrns march in stately
procession along the residence
streets. Many of the residences,
and some of the business blocks,
are heated by natural hot water,
piped from artesian wells five hun
bred feet in depth, and which fur
nish more than million gallons
of water daily. This water, which
is at a temperature of 10 0 degrees
is used in Bosses famous natator-
ium, a resort popular alike with
tourists and residents.

growth. Livestock, horticulture
timber, poultry, sugar beets, hogs
bees, dairying add to her
wealth. Take the latter industry,
dairying, and note the vast posi-
bilities for its extension, In the
Middle West a farmer is considered
an excellent manager who can sup
port one COW on one acre the year
round. Here in Idaho, with its
wonderful crops of alfalfa, by the
use of the soiling system, it is not
at all difficult to support three COWS
to the acre. Not only can three
times the number of stock to the
acre be maintained, but the price
for butter fat is much higher than
throughout the Middle West. The
average price for butter fat paid by
the Commercial Cream Company
in Boise last year was thirty-two
cents per pound. Of the 100000
pounds of butter consumed each
year in Idaho, less than 1000, 900
pounds are produced in this state.
Of this amount at least a million
pounds is creamery hutter and the
rest ranch butter. Without eX-
porting a pound of butter a local
market can be had for three times
the amount now produced. There
are seventeen creameries in the
state. two of which are in Boise.
One of them, the Commercial
Cream Company, has branch fac
tories in Lewiston, Payette and
Idaho Falls.
Boise and Payette Valleys are
destined to be wonderful dairy
sections. Cows produce from five
to ten dollars per month in butter
fat, and the by-product of skinned
milk is worth at least two dollars a
month per COW to feed hogs The
creamery in Boise makes about
thousand pounds a day, but has
capacity for ten thousand pounds
One peculiar feature of the dairy
mo business is that instead OF add1-
tional dairymen making comPetl-
ton, the more who engage IN the
business the higher price they get
for their butter fat, as the larger
the amount handled by the cream
cry the cheaper is the cost per
pound for the production OF the
butter, and consequently as the
cost of production is reduced
higher price is paid for the butter
fat.
Dairying is only one instance OF
the possibilities that await the
homeseeker in Idaho.
Boise is a good business point .
as it is the commercial center OF
rich and extensive district. There
is an air of stability about its bust
ness district that impresses the
visitor, while the new buildings IN
course of construction attest BOISE .
