IDAHO.

The great change of bringing a.
100000 acres of land that were once
but desert under cultivation is
steadily going on in Idaho. As
fast az water can be supplied the
transformation is made, and now
lands that we're worth less than 81
an acre fifteen years ago are selling
in the entire state almost, with
water attached, at $4,000.
Everything grows in the soil of
Idaho so soon as moisture can. be
supplied. Her fruit ranks among
the very finest in the world, its
abundance is wonderful, and the
markets are waiting for it, no mat
ter how much can be produced,
The state still maintains its min
ing prestige. The yield from the
northern mines is very great. There
is Just enough mining to give
market for all the state can pro-
duce in the way of agriculture and
horticulture.
The region around the new wa
terworks lie fast becoming sugar
region. We believe one ranch up
there this year has 10000 acres of
sugar beta. 1t seems to be espec-
tally adapted for that purpose, and
we do not see how any catastrophe
can come to the industry, because
with the utmost exection the in
creased amount of sugar every year
does not keep up with the increased
demand, and millions and millions
of dollars are paid for imported
sugar.
Idaho will have more land under
cultivation fifteen years hence than
the great state OF New York; it will
produce just twice per acre over the
ordinary eastern lands, and the
prices of products will be just about
twice az high. II is an ideal place
for the farmer and horticulturist to
work; the climate is among the
very best in the world, and gen
Grafton hence, the Gem state should
be one of the richest in the Union.

MINING.

expression TO the wonderful product
ofthe mines of the United States
and to the tremendous business
they give the transportation com
panies. He was right. One big
lead and silver or copper mine is
worth more to a railroad than half
a dozen townships Of agriculture
land when planted in ordinary
crops. f3t ENG
If a man raises fruit or corn,
few carloads disposes aof his crop.
II man raises fruit all the benefit
it is to the roads only covers a few
days in the autumn. A great'cop
per or silver and lead mine means
business to the railroads every day
in the year; it means employment
to large force of men every day
In the year; it means a constant
absorption of machinery and mer-
chandise; it settles upon state or
a community like veritable prov
idence. But beyond all that, when
it is put in commercial form it il a
factor of profit to ali the country.
1t enters in no competition with
any other mans industry. rather
by the amount it produces, the vol
ume of money Of the world is in
creased and the price of every other
mans property is increased accord
ingly.
When silver was demonetized the
men of the great farms in the east
were glad, they drew around them
selves the robe of self-righteousness
and declared that they were wicked
men in the west who would, if they
could, debase the coinage of the ma
ton and pay their debts in dollars
that were worth only half dollars.
1t was pitiable spectacle of ignor-
ance on their part; it revealed more
ignorance on the part of the great
press of the East than they have
ever showed on any other subject
and even when the effects of the
decentralization began to be appar-
emit, when all they had fell in valne
as much as silver had seemed to
fall, they still Rugged their self
righteousness to their souls, and
they looked upon the hard times as
does the faithful Moslem when a
calamity comes to him and shrugs
his shoulders and says. at is the
will of Allah"
Because of the western miner
the United States has advanced
from a fourth or fifth rate power
to the front rank of nations in
half a century; because of the
mining in the west the product
of eastern farms has doubled; so
has the value of eastern lands.
When men realize the truth they
will acknowledge that civiliza-
ton itself advances and recedes
just in the ratio that the prec-
ious and semi-precious mines give
up their treasure.
This is SO palpable that when
the miners want anything that
is fair they ought to have it, and
when they approach the govern
ment, show how many Ameri-
cans have employment in the
mines, what they do with their
money, how they educate their
children, how they build the cities
and make the waste places glad,
and ask for protection against
the poems of another country,
men without pride of ancestry,
without any honest pride, who
do not educate their children,
who keep their wives in huts, who
have no instincts except those OF
semi-barberous men, when such
an appeal is made the govern

"EQUINOCTIAL STORM"

A search of the weather records
will reveal the fact that the day
which marks the separation of the
seasons and on which the sun
''souths" exactly at noon is more
likely than not to be clear and beau
tiful, but with the latitude that the
amateur weather prophets of the
past always allowed themselves for
safety's sake, any storm occurring
within several days before or after
the time of equal day and night has
been held to be either an early or a
belated coming of the inevitable
Slime" storm. A very little thought
on the area of the habited portions
of the earth and the known causes
of storms should convince those who
are willing to be convinced that the
"equinoctial' is a superstition and
myth.

LoNDoNS ODD STREET NAMES

christening of which is still being
keenly debated, is survival OF a
great number of old time London
street names at least as Objectionable.
It had formidable rivals in Crack
brain court, a passage in Rosemary
lane, Whitechapel; in Deadman's
place, which was near Dirty lane, in
Southwark; and in Cutthroat lane,
which was Radcliffe way" Then
there was Bandyleg alley, close to the
Fleet Ditch; Rotherhithe and Its
Cuckhold's court. Of Frying Pan
alleys there were, at one time II;
Hangman's Gains was near the
Tower; Smock alley rubbed shout
ders with Hockey in the Hole, and
Sticking lane was a malodorous
neighbor of Newgate Market.
Among the other curious old
world names, some of which may
possibly still survive, were Gossips'
Row, Gutter lane, Farthing alley,
three of them, court and stairs, and
Arthicoke, name which occurred II
times in Old London.

COOLING MILK.
Keep tho Cans IN Tank Filled with
Cold Water.

A great deal of the milk brought to
the creamery Monday morning, at this
season of the year, is sour, caused
largely from not being properly cooled
Saturday night. A tank of cool water
to place the cans in as soon as you are
through milking is indispensable. One
of the plungers used to stir the milk
with is also necessary. This is made
by soldering piece Of tin about four
inches in diameter onto a small tin
pipe about two feet long; this will
make plunger which can be easily
washed. By giving the milk churn
or two, the whole mass will be agi-
tated and thoroughly stirred, sending
the milk in the center of the can to
the outside and that at the outside
to the center. II milk Is clean, and the
cans, strainers, pals and other uten-
sils are properly cleaned and the
whole mass of milk is properly cooled
down Immediately after milking, 1t will
keep long time.

Little Frieda is a bright miss

Wios and Trousers.

The wig went out and gave place to
the natural hair, powered and pig

back to nature which accompanied and
preceded the French revolution. But
why did the wig come In? Some say
that Louis XIII. started the fashion
when he began to grow bald, the court
Initiating him out of desire to please
the monarch. Be that as it may, the
wig ''caught on" as few articles Of
costume have ever done, and those who
have begun to despair of the mascu-

SQUIRRELS FoRETELL WEATHER

John Linch of Oil City, Pa, has
a pair of squirrels which he brought
home from the Oklahoma oil fields
a year or two ago, which he declares
are infallible weather prophets. The
other morning he went to feed the
animals and they refused to be
coaxed into the open. He notified
his wife that there would be a
storm later in the day and was ridi-
culed, as there were then no outward
indications of any bad weather. The
downpour which followed convinced
the incredulous Mrs. Linch that the
squirrels we're real weather prophets.
