LETTER TO JOHN ARMSTRONG.
Welsh Louisiana

Dear Sir: There are two sorts OF
paint: one to sell and make money
the other to paint and save money.
Who gets the money? The maker
the seller, the painter.
Where does it come-from? The
owner, of course; he pays the painter
for doing the work, and the dealer
for gallons of paint; and he pays the
paint manufacturer, gallons again
more money all round; for the owner
to pay to the painter dealer and pain
manufacturer,
What's the paint that saves money:
Gallons again; less gallons, less
money for paint, less money TO,
wages; a gallon OF paint is S. fol
wages aud paint, Less gallons, less
money to pay, SIS gallon.
Two sorts of paint: less gallons and
more: less money and more: - gal
Ions difference: two to one in gallons
and money.
1t costs twice as much TO paint the
average more gallons naint as te
paint Devoe. When the people find
ont, it may not be quite so easy tt
sell extragagant paint by calling i
"cheap.'

D. W. Gum Of Roanoke, one Of
the largest planters of the parish,
was in Welsh Tuesday. He says
he has $50 acres of rice planted
and about 300 acres of it up and
looking fine. He had just returned
from Edgerly, where he has ..anoth-
er large plantation. He says he
believes the crop prospects are the
best he has ever seen at this time
of year. All indications at the
present time point toward a fine
stand, which is half the battle in
ma king a rice crop.

HARMONY AT POCATELLO.

Pocatello has turned over new
leaf very suddenly and is now en-
titled to the congratulations of her
own citizens and also the citizens of
the entire state, in that all factional
differences have been forgotten in a
hard pull together for the advance
ment of the city and surrounding
country. 1t may be that this har-
monious pulling had nothing to do
with it, but it is worthy of comment
that no sooner had they quit fighting
each other and gone to work together
than the announcement was made
that additional men would have to
be employed by the \ railroads for
train crews and in the shops. Things
have habit of tumbling along tow
ard assistance in building up when
strife is forgotten, when they have
formerly been in the habit of tum-
bling the other way when strife is the
rule. Pocatello is just beginning a
new era of good feeling and progress
that will retain for it the honor of
being the second city in the state, an
honor which it was in eminent danger
of losing to several other cities which
have been showing more harmonious
archaeological News.

ENJOYING THE SPECTACLE.

The Republican is enjoying the
spectacle of contemporaries giving
out wise statements about conditions
they assume to understand, and then
finding themselves in predicament
with no tangible way out.
Denying absolutely that anything
had happened on which to base the
talk about the asylum attendants
rough handling of the Indian at
Mountainhome, and then having to
keep silent in the face of acknowledge
ments to the contrary, or admit that
the previous statements were bluff,
takes deal of the dignity out of the
first statement.
1t must be comforting thought to
Mr.. Drady that he is the only condi-
date who has announced himself. If
there were two who lad already con-
sented to be candidates for office, and
Mr.. Brady was getting all the honors
and all the analysis, it would keep
him busy extending congratulations
or coincidence to the other fellow. As
1t Is he has to stand for it all. A lot
of papers, and especially those he
owns an interest in, are saying all
manner of nice things about him, and
then the next week, each one copies
what the other has said, and adds
little dopey dope that runs like this:
Press reports from all over the state
indicate that the announcement of
the candidacy of Hon. Jas. H. Brady,
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee for the guberna-
torial chair, seems to have given uni
versal satisfaction.
or course that Is nice, and it is to
be hoped that even those who are
him now will be entirely
satisfied by convention time, and be
Joining in to make his nomination
unanimous, but what a comical stu
alton would confront all these wise
acres If in spite of their barkings, the
analysis should go on and the people |
'efuse to nominate Brady. How
would these iump-at-conclusion edi-
ors get down off of their horses?

A NEW MEMORIAL.

People of this community have
been invited to join in celebrations
to commemorate the arrival of the
Mormons in the Salt Lake Valley,
and it has been put also as the be-
ginning of the settlement of the
Plateau and the beginning of irriga-
ton by Americans. The movement
has been started by the Mormons, and
those of other creeds have Joined
in with varying interest, taste or dis
taste according to their prejudice or
feeling on the Mormon question or
their ability to join 1t on the thought
of it being in commemoration of set
Element and irrigation.
At Cheyenne they have pioneer
celebration, but 1t begins on July
.22nd, and lasts three days, having no
connection with any religion.
This year the Prostestants will
probably invite the public to partici-
pate in memorial on July 9th, that
being the 74th anniversary of the day
when Jason Lee preached the first
Protestant sermon west of the
Rocky Mountains. He was at old
Fort Hall on his way to establish a
mission somewhere on the Pacific
coast, and the University at Salem,
Oregon, is the outcome of his old
mission.
It will be interesting to see wheth-
er people Of different creeds, and es-
pecially the Mormons, respond to the
invitation when it is made, to join in
what might be called Methodist
movement. A generous spirit Of toll
Grafton in such things will cultivate
the feeling of brotherhood and mu-
tual interest so much needed here to
smooth out the ruffles and broaden
the narrow prejudices on all sides.

our biography. readers Of The Ad-
vance can expect something more in
the very near future.
To get back again to the subject
of Brady's fitness for governor, we
fail to see the connection between that
and the featherless goose or the
hitch racks at Mackay, which Tai
bot devotes SO much time TO. We
suggest that when he finishes Trego's
biography, he take time to explain
how Mr. Brady's record as a manlpu-
lator of corporations, accords with
Roosevelts policies relating t. the
square deal. Whether or not the
people OF Idaho are to be reasoned
with in matters pertaining to their
state and civic affairs, or whether
they, or those who speak for them,
are to be treated to trains of abuse
in answer to questions propounded
or citing the presence of improper
motives or incentives for action
among those who presume to point
out the way. We would ask Mr.. Tai
bot to state whether or not he thinks
Mr. Brady is proud of that kind Of
following which stoops to throw mud
in great volume, and threatens to
throw more mud at him who raises
his hand in dispassionate discussion
of the country's needs, and the fit
ness of one who offers himself as a
public servant subject to the accept

her nest securely upon the ground
among the wheat. Some birds like
sunny. open homes while others love
TO Turk in the dark, leafy thickets.
There are a few essentials though.
that must be common to all nesting
places. The bird seeks districts that
offer suitable building material, pro-
lection for the young and an ample
food and water supply. The building
material usually consists of bits of
thread, hair, moss, feathers, small
twigs. wool, grass and mud. Since
these things are needful, there is a
means of attracting the birds to your
doors. Hang out bits of thread,
wool, ETC., about nesting time and
note the result. If there are any
places at all near for the birds to
place their nests, is almost certain
that YOU will have some bird neigh,
bors. q
We have not trees and shrubs
enough. If we would plant some
trees and bushes about our doors
and train vine to cling to our win
dow frames, we would not only have
more beautiful and pleasant homes,
but we would also be doing a great
deal to increase our bird life. 1t
is very seldom that a bird is found
nesting in a sage brush. The bird
objects to them. So should we. The
sage brush is neither beautiful nor
useful. 1t is a nuisance and should
be done away with. There Is no ex-
cuse for the fact that the greater por
ton of the country farmers tolerate
this nuisance in their front yards.
Dig the sage brush up and plant an
apple tree or rose bush in its place.
You will be doubly rewarded by bios
som and song.
That bird life is necessary to every
community is easily ascertained by
noting their economic value. The
birds should be brought in, protect
ed and domesticated. From what we
have found regarding the propaga-
ton of these creatures it is possible
to rear up in every locality those
birds best fitted for, that place
Therefore it is incumbent upon every
man, woman and child to aid as far
as possible in this work.

SHELLEY EDITOR HAS A FIT.

The Shelley Pioneer has taken sev
eral shots at The Republican lately,
and last week it went the limit, roast
ing us for putting our advertisement
on posters issued for their school
dance given to raise money for the
piano contest.
On general principles they were
right, and specifically they were
wrong. Before opening any contest
in territory in which their paper cir
culates. we visited them in company
with Prof. Evans to see If such
move would be against their wishes.
They replied that they had no OBJ
lection to Prof Evans gong into the
contest and getting subscribers for
The Republican, but that it would
hurt them to have us take job print

Be Your Own Tree Doctor.

Every man should be his own tree

been busy all summer removing suck
ers from the trees, fighting fungus and
discouraging insects When the leaves
are off he goes all over his plantation,
diagnosing each tree, shrub and BUSH
He will find some borers not yet
killed, and these should be thoroughly
eradicated from his ounces and apples
before winter sets in. Use a flexible
wire and sharp knife, and when the
larvae are killed pile coal ashes freely
around the tree. He will probably find
in his currant and berry fields more
or less bushes that cultivation has
loosened in the soil. These are liable
to heave out during the winter He
should slip narrow shovel under the

bush settle until 1t is well planted.

them to spare, place scuttle of coal

Taste for .Cayiare.

If few people like caviare, those who
like it at all like 1t very much in
deed Bismarck was probably its
most famous devotee. One gathers
from Busch that the Iron Chancellor
was prepared to talk caviare to any
extent if the subject came up, treating
of it's varieties and merits with minute
knowledge. And twice it comes out
that one of his principal grievances
against "fat Borck, the holder of the
kings privy purse was concerning
caviare Bismarck had sent 40 pounds
of a choice variety to King William as
a present, and was astonished to get
no present nor even a thank you in
return But some friend, dropping
into Borck's room, saw barrel of
caviare there with spoon standing in
it. and told Bismarck. The chancellor
could not forget or forgive Borck's in
