He Got the Cash.

An amusing incident occurred on
Friday of last week in the First
National Bank of Emmett. A man
came in with a check for 100000
and deposited the same, then de-
handing the cash, which was re-
fused, whereupon he at once demand
ed his check back, which was given
him. A little later while Cashier
Z. x. Hayes, was absent, he came In
again and once more deposited the
check and demanded the cash and
said he could secure it by law. When
Mr.. Hays returned he was SO strenu-
Gus in his demands that Mr.. Hays
said, II will give you the cash." and
paid him with silver dollars. He be-
gan to fill his pockets, but found the
room was insufficient. He asked Mr..
Hays to watch what was left. He was
told it was his money, take care Of it.
He was obliged to hire someone to
guard it until he could get box
to put 1t in. Then he left the bank
with the amount, wondering II 1t
would be stolen.---Exchange.

Marshall Field, of Chicago, once
said: THE ideal advertising medi-
UNI is the country newspaper. 1t Is
a paper so filled with good thoughts
for every member of the family that
it finds warm welcome and an eager
reading wherever 1t goes. 1t Is not
boastful nor too much given to fault
finding. 1t wins the confidence OF the
people by it's simplicity, honesty, pur-
ity and progressiveness. 1t handles
the news of the day in a manner
which appeals to the better class of
people. 1t emphasizes the hopeful
features of the news rather than the
discordant ones. 1t has a permanent
location for its special features and
has a reputation for correctness. 1t
regulates its advertising pages by re-
asonable display and illustrations, SO
that the page presents a pleasing
whole. Silver Messenger. .

From Our EXCHANGES.

in full operation and wages are high.
The protective tariff of 1897 accom-
plished what it was designed to ac-
complish---it filled the Golfers of the
national treasury and started up idle
mills and factories. 1t was to the ma
ton decade or more of prosperity
such as was never before experience
ed. The same general prosperity and
industrial activity exists today as ex-
listed a year, or even six months ago,
but money has suddenly been with
drawn from the channels of trade be-
cause of lack of confidence due to
transportation and over-capitaliza-
ton.
The tariff has nothing to do with
this condition of affairs; and no tariff
revision would bring relief. On the
contrary, any serious effort during
the next eight or ten months-a crit
ical periodic agitate the question
of tariff reform or tariff reduction,
would not only aggravate the situa-
ton but would precipitate an indus
trial and business panic that would
be far-reaching and disastrous in the
extreme. Kalamazoo Telegraph.

Short Weight Butter.

The latest bulletin of the State
Pure Food commission contains the
following remarks on the butter mar
keted in Idaho: .
"There is probably no provision OF
our pure food law which has bene-
flied so many people as that provis-
ion compelling manufacturers of but
ter, either creamery or dairy, to use
a wrapper, giving the makers name,
place of business and the net weight
in ounces. Before the passage Of this
law, the dairy butter offered for sale
in the stores of the state was of a
very uncertain quality, with a great
variation in the weight of the pack
ages. The farmers and the majority
of the creameries of Idaho have well
coined this law and have honestly
lived up to its requirements, but un-
fortunately few of our creameries
and many outside of the state have
made a practice of selling packages
labelled 16 ounces which only con-
tanned IAN and IS, thus working a
hardship with an honest weight.

Worst Storm in Twenty Years.


Last Thursday while 1t was storm
ing here so bad, the Chieftain scribe
had the pleasure of talking with a
gentleman at Grays Lake, fifty miles
north of Soda. The information CIV
us, however, was not at all pleasing,
as the conversation conveyed the fact
that they were then having the worst
storm out there that had visited that
section in twenty years. The snow
was falling fast and was very wet.
They now have some advantages ov-
err conditions of twenty years ago,
as they are not entirely shut off from
the outside world and can use the
telephone. At that time the mail
was carried on snowshoes, and while
it has not been taken through for
several days, there are more people
interested and the road will no doubt
be opened soon.-Soda Springs Chief

Trouble for the Editor.

they don't believe me. They say
they must see you"
WELL" said the editor, ''just tell
them that's what they all say. don't
care If you cheek them, but I must
have quietness."
That day there called at the office
lady with hard features and an
acid expression. She wanted to see
the editor, and the boy assured her
that it was impossible.
"But I must see HIM" she pro-
tested. I'm his wife!"
"That's what they all say" re-
piled the boy.
That is why he found himself on
the floor, with the lady sitting on has

pressed regarding the course that
should be pursued by newspaper
publishers by reason oft he serious
advance in the cost of print paper
and the very great additional expense
thus imposed in the publication of
newspapers. One view is that relief
should be sought through the remov-
al of the tariff duties upon wood pulp
in the hope of compelling thereby
reduction in the cost of that pro-
duct and of print paper. Another
view is that the advance in the price
of print paper should be followed, as
similar advances have been in all
other lines of trade, by an advance
in the price of newspapers; that with
the advances in the cost of paper, of
labor and of all other newspaper ex-
penses the day has passed when the
daily newspapers can be sold to the

Will Advertise.

The Union Pacific railroad has ap-
propriated 100000 for advertising
in 1908, perhaps the largest sum
that will have been spent b yany sim
gle railroad in one year.
This sum is in addition to folder
and other work arranged for this
year, but which will not be furnished
until next spring.
The road is forced to make this
great cash expenditure on account OF
the rate law, which prohibits all in
terchange of advertising for trans
portation.
The money is spent largely in mag
azines, newspapers and other publ
cations.
In contrast to the Union Pacific's
determination to spend the coming
wear more than ever before for pub
licity is the resolve of the Rock Is
land to issue no more calendars and
save thereby annually over 100000.

From Thoughts for Church People.

(By Almon A. Locke, Fairfield, 1ll,)
When Mr.. Geo. T. Angel, Presi-
dent of the American Humane Edu-
cation Society," was asked: "Why do
you spend so much of your time and
money in talking about kindness to
animals when there is so much cruel
ty to men?" Mr.. Angel replied:
eve are working at the roots. Every
humane publication, every lecture,
every step in doing or teaching kind
ness to them is a step to prevent
crime-..a step in promoting the
growth of those qualities of heart
which elevate human souls"
Mr.. Angel was eminently correct
in his answer: eve are working at
the roots" The man who is fair and
kind to his animals is more apt and
inclined to be fair and honorable in
his dealings with his neighbors.
We are pleading for this Humane
Education for the sake of our boys
and girls, for the sake of truer and
fuller happiness, for the sake of our
homes. for the sake of nobler man
hood, for the sake of better citizen
ship, for the sake of higher civiliza-
ton, Give and let live principle Of

An Automatic Violin Player.
(By George Gilbert

In view of the present popularity
of the piano player, and the marvel
Gus perfection this instrument has
attained in reproducing the work of
the best musicians, it is very evident
that 1t will only be a question of
time before other musical instru-
ments must similarly surrender to
mechanical control. The latest de-
velopment along this line is a mach
inc which will play violins and kind
red instruments. AS may we'll be
imagined, the violin offers difficulties
which are peculiar to itself, and we
are not surprised to learn that the
violin player illustrated herewith is
the elimination of seven years of
continuous labor and experiment
The instrument requires no alter
alton in the violin itself, and any
violin pay be placed in the player
and removed without injury. The
parts are pneumatically controlled in
manner similar to that of the ordi-
nary piano player. A perforated
music sheet selects the notes which
are sounded. The sheet travels over
"tracker board, provided with the
usual ducts in which an exhaust is
maintained. There are two ducts
for each note, and as these are un-
covered by perforations in the music
sheet, the air rushing into one of the
ducts acts through the medium of
the usual valves and pneumatics to
press a finger down on one of the
violin strings at the proper point on
the finger doard, while the air in the
other duct puts into operation the
bowling mechanism Of this string.
The bowling is done by means Of four
crystal disks, one for each string.
The report of Prof. Philip Schneid-
err, geologist at the Syracuse Uni
versity, who has been Investigating
the damon fields of Pike County, has
been filed with the State Commits
sioner of Arkansas. The report
states that much of the inspected
land is of no value, but that a few
acres, making up what is called the
Huddleston and Money places, COM
prises the most promising diamond
land. Surface indications in this
territory very nearly duplicate those
in the Kimberley fields of South At

respect the soil of that region. Prof.

The Old and the New.

AS years average, 1907 was rather
dull. Its most striking feature was
the prevalence of talk. Reformers
and near reformers exposed sin until
that part of the audience which did
not grow weary became frightened,
and there resulted the most idiotic
panic ever known in this or any 9TH
er country. Everybody who had q
few dollars in his pocket hung on
to them in terror, imagining ne
would never be able to get any more.
There wer runs on banks, and many
manufacturers ''laid off, their force
of employees, fearing that there
would be no more market for their
wares. .. .....
It was an "of year" politically.
There was no war, and about the only
excitement for lovers of slaughter
was the sailing of our fleet to the
Pacific, which will probably be an
exceedingly peaceful jaunt, after all.
Even Death has been too lazy to hit
any particularly shining mark, II we
except Lord Kelvin. ...
The operation Of the law averages
make it reasonably certain that there
will be enough stirring events In
1908 to keep everybody's blood rae
ing exitedly through his veins. Pos
sibly there may be no increase of hap
piness, but no one need be bored
