wives 10 TT temperament"
Let a man remember why he is marrying-not to enjoy himself,
lot to make himself eternaly happy here, but to realize himself, to
build a character, to play the mar and to do some good, leaving the
world better for his mission in it; to lift a girl, to point her heaven.
ward.
Let him choose not the snowy, fighty, smoking room girl, but one
n whom he can find not a little to venerate and to reverence, for then
ais love for her will contiue to grow till the end.
Women have a passion for jewelry and fnery. Give her what you
IAN and let her feel she has got it from you. I would also say to the
husband, FORGET NOT THAT A WOMAN'S THIRST IS
FOR SYMPATHY.
To the wife I have many things to say, but especially I would re-
mind her that she must keep her home in beautiful order and must not
neglect to keep a good table. Nothing lubricates difficulties and leads
to sweetness so we'll.
Let her, too, remember that she must be always neat and smart
when quite alone with him and not merely when entertaining com
pany. Above all things, don't contradict his cherished statements.
ABOVE ALL, WOULD SAY NEVER, NEVER scoLD, NEVER
CRY. THESE TRICKS or WOMEN OFTEN WIN FOR THEM WHAT
THEY WANT, BUT THEY KILL A HUSBANDS LOVE.

ARIZONA R CHEST
 PLACER REGION
FAMOUS MINING ENGINEER MAKES THIS STATEMENT AZ. TER STUDYING THE FIELD FOR THIRTY YEARS.

PRESCOTT, May 26.-"Arisona will be eventually proven tho richest placer mining region in the world," Daniel Mccarthy, general manager of the Golden Jewel Mining company, said yesterday, after he returned from four days investigation of the hydraulic placers on Lynx creek.
 ''In my thirty years experience in the practical operation of placer mines and making expert examinations of placer properties in this country, Aus. tralia and South Africa, have never seen any ground equal in richness to some of the placer deposits I have examined here and I am free to admit that when tho properties of the Fly draulic Gold Mining eimpany on Lynx creek are equipped with the proper ma chinery that it's gold production will astonish the country.
 People here do not appreciate the great wealth hidden in the mountains and creeks of Yavapai county. I was agreeably surprised when examined some placer properties in the southern part of the county which would be considered very rich in California or Idaho, but an actual test of the ground oB Lynx crock, known as the Hadraul. ics, was the greatest surprise of my many years experience in placer min ing. There is plenty of gold there and all that is necessary to recover it from the creek bed and benches is machinery and good, energetic management.
 The holdings of tho Hydraulic Gold Mining company are located on lower Lynx creek, eight miles east of this city.

 In addition, the reports of the street car conductors showed that the cars are carrying only two-thirds usual ca pacity.N

MERRY WIDOW BUzz-sAw OFF
Man Who Feels Its Teeth, Grows
 Most Resentful.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, May 27.--Last night a man, name unknown, walked dawn Turner street. In front was a woman wearing "Merry Widow" hat the size of bicycle wheel. The man failed to notice the hat and when he was near the woman the latter turned around. The sharp and braided edge of the hat struck the man across the eyes.
 With a howl of rage and pain the man grabbed the hat, tore it from the woman's head, threw 1t on the ground, stamped on it, and then kicked it into the street, after which he disappeared down an alley.

the Bachelors We're in the lead with

but it was too short to count, so it

Irrigated Idaho Has Enough Rain

Government weather observer was ever

requesting that some competent person

1t is customary to announce every
Carey Act opening as the largest ever
held. This is just an overflow of ex-
uberance and enthusiasm on the part
of the writer. but the sale which opened
last Monday at Twin Falls for the lands
of the Salmon River tract by far
eclipsed all other such openings ever
held in the state.
BY some freak of providence the land
openings in this part of arid Idaho
seem to provoke unusual weather con-
ditions and are accompanied by storms
of rain such as the oldest inhabitant
has never seen before. This feature
was not omitted this week at Twin
Falls. 1t rained almost constantly
during the entire time of the sale, but
the crowd gathered there was there to
get land and was not to be discouraged
by a little rim and mud. The element
of speculation was perhaps more largely
eliminated than is customary in these
sales. This is testified to by the fact
that so large portion of the land was
sold. The first days sales recorded
over 10000 acres sold and the second
day doubled that amount.
Experience has ripened and perfected
the methods of conducting these great
drawings and the machinery now de-
vised and used by Bob McCollum is as
nearly perfect as human ingenuity can
contrive.
The drawing went off without hitch
and the system was so complete that
all those who wished at any time to
draw down their checks had but to pass
across the street and present their re-
ceipt which was contained in an en-
velope and had been checked by sys-
TEN of checks and counter checks as to
make an error absolutely impossible.

The parties filing were taken into the
booth at one end of long building and
a large force of clerks each having his
special part to perform, rapidly attended
to the various details of the filing and
the entryman went out of the building
within about ten minutes with his con-
tract all signed and sealed and all the
transaction closed.
This great sale places Bob McCollum
in the lead as the king of Land Sales
men," The success of the whole open
ing, the complete system used for
handling the colossal business as well
as the plan of advertising and getting
the enthusiastic crowd together are all
to the credit of the same ''Bob the
Booster" for Idaho and Irrigation.
The first ten numbers went to:
O. c. Paulson, Greeley, Colo.
Miles Thomas. Twin Falls
Jacob Parrott, Fresno, Cal
J. A. Drownell, Algona, Iowa.
Charles H. Hempelman, Cozad, Neb.
Elmer Ingraham, Seattle.
VIM. H. Willie, Denver.
William Thompson, Cooper, Neb.
c. A. Dolen, Bellingham, Wash.
William F. Prescott, Nampa.
Checks were deposited for the draw
ing, amounting toOs1, 374, 932 so, which
guaranteed the first payment for more
than 400, 900 acres-more than 5 times
the total acreage of land opened for
sale. Practically all the land was sold
by the close of the third day.
This sale tops even the great sale at
Jerome last fall, in the amount of cash
deposited, and in the total sales. 1t
will probably stand as record, as few
such tracts remain for opening any
and they do not have the Twin
Falls company back of them.

SELECTED THEIR FRUITS.
Visitors to Haserman Valley Found
Plenty In Prospect.

G. w. Stoner, A. W. Goodding and
w. D. Vrendenburg drove over to the
Hagerman valley, Thursday of last
week, and took a look at the fruit pro-
spects in that celebrated valley and
they were more than delighted with
what they saw The only evidence of
damaging frosts was on the early ap-
pies which were materially thinned.
But late apples, plums, peaches, prunes,
apricots, cherries and all other var
ieties represented in the valley gave
promise of an abundant crop. All berry
vines and bushes were also loaded with
luscious fruit in great abundance.
These gentlemen were wise in their
day and generation for they improved
the opportunity to contract for big
blocks of the ripened fruit in its season
to use in its fresh state and for cam
ing and preserving. The fruit industry
will, in time, make of Irrigated Idaho
one of the most populous and wealthy
sections of the country.
