NORA, YOU'RE ME DARLIN.

A certain family just brought to our city servant who is an excel lent cook, but insists upon making all her dishes strictly according to her own recipes. Her mistress gave her all her own way not only in cook ing, but also TO purchase all her sup plies. The other day the mistress said:
 Nora, the coffee you are giving us is d-e-l-i-g-h-t-f-u-l, in fact the best I've ever tasted. What kind is it?"
 Its no kind at all, num-" re- piled the cook. Its a mixture"
 '.How do you mix it?''
 ''I dun no; I bought it from that tea man down at AZ East Main street. I saw his advertisement in the Democrat and in I walks to him and told him I wanted a pound of his best coffee, and l guess he gave it to me, for upon my word I'm cooking seventeen years and I never tasted as nice coffee in my life, and next week I'm going to get more of it, and then I'll buy pound of his tea, the kind he calls his nice tasting kind"
 We'll, Nora's conversation came over the telephone to us from her mistress, and we were very much pleased to know she taught her mis- tress where to get the good quality, and we hope for their own good that more of the mistresses will find us, and when they do they'll find the same nice quality from one end of the year to the other at

MEMORIAL WINDOW.

The Jason Lee memorial window Is
being placed in the end of the Metho-
dist church, and will be unveiled at
special service which we will an
nounce next week. July 9th is the
day to be observed as the anniversary
of the date of Jason Lees visit to
Fort Hall in 1884, where he preached
a sermon, the first of Methodism ever
preached west of the Rocky Noun
tains.
Mr.. Edwards is trying to engage
Rev. DR.. Iliff to deliver the address
at the unveiling. He visited this
place in 1871, and was here at the
dedication Of the Methodist church
in 1885. He was here again in De-
cember, 1893, when he preached the
funeral sermon of Major Danilson.
1t is likely that the Methodist peo-
pie here will adopt July 9th as a
day to be observed each year in con-
nection with historical events and
the settlement of the valley.

TROUBLE ABOUT TAXES.

G. F. Smith made sale of piece
of farm land last week, and when he
got ready to convey title to the pur-
chaser he found nearly two hundred
dollars of taxes and penalty against
it for the year 1901. Mr.. Smith had
always kept his taxes paid up, and on
looking up his receipt for the year
1901, he found he had paid $77.22,
but it had been applied on piece Of
land in Section 49," which is not in
existence, and as 1t was not applied
on his land, the claim was never sat-
isfied.
The matter is chargeable to an er-
ror during the time Hans L. Hanson
was assessor and will come up for
adjustment before the board of COM
missioners next week. Just what
can be done to adjust it after all the
costs and penalties have been added,
we are unable to say.

EDITORS MEET TOMORROW.

The representatives of twenty
newspapers have Especial meeting at
Pocatello Saturday at o'clock to try
to establish uniform prices for print
ing and advertising, so that given
amount of service can be secured In
any printing house for the schedule
price, and the schedule will be open
to the inspection of the public. Under
this system a person wanting to get
some printing done, can ring. up or
write to any house that is a member
of the club, and give his order and
know just what it will cost, without
running around to several shops to
get information about it. 1t elimi-
mates dickering, protects the public
and printers alike, and forces print
ers to line up and guarantee their
work or get out and shift for them
selves alone.

CLEAN SWEEP Al THE TURF.

The lease Of the former manage
ment of the Turf Exchange expired
the first of July and H. G. Dippel has
taken possession, having closed the
Rock saloon.
Mr.. Dippel will conduct his busi-
ness hereafter III the Turf, and the
rooms on the second floor have been
vacated by his order. He wants to
rent the upstairs for offices, or in
case this cannot be done he may
make arrangements this fall to have
it opened as lodging house If he
can let It to somebody who can be
depended upon to conduct 1t in an
absolute respectable manner. Other
wise 1t is to remain idle until busi-
ness picks up so that the rooms will
be in demand as offices or as private
rooms for persons who take meals
out.

LIKED HIS "pAss" AND THINGS.

LIKED HIS "PASS" AND THINGS.
Manager Bell of the Mergenthaler
Linotype company of San Francisco,
who was here for the meeting Of the
Press club last November, offers the
following comment, in business
letter addressed to the Republican, a
few days ago:
Your favor of June goth, enclos-
ing the usual monthly check and a
"pass through the campaign" Is at
hand, and we wish to extend our
thanks for both.
1--WE had heard that you were is
suing passes, and felt sure that they
would be something novel and
unique.
"Your school of journalism ought
to produce lasting results-benefit-
ting the participants even more than
the paper. Undoubtedly there are
those among your pupils who will
later make a noise very much like
editorial writing.
wishing the class and yourself all
success, we are yours truly.

ON CAREY LANDS.

F. A. Sweet was in town Thursday
morning, and says he has been busy
with canal matters lately. He is one
OF the partners in a very extensive
coal mine discovered in Utah cou-
pie of years ago, and says they are
now furnishing coal to five railroads
that run into Salt Lake City, and
their coal does not make any cinders
to speak of. People who have used
the coal in Blackfoot know this to be
true.
In speaking of canal matters, he
says they will build a branch of the
American Falls, Canal to water a
large tract of land between the Mac
kay branch and Spring creek. The
new line taps the main line nearly
north of Blackfoot and crosses the
lava beds, conducting the water down
the country on ridges far back on
the plain, and making 1t more direct
than other lines. It is to be 20 feet
wide in the bottom, will carry water
four feet deep, and will be SO feet
wide at the top of the water line.
1t will carry water for $1,000 acres,
and they will sell water rights on
long easy terms.
All propositions made to deliver
water to claims for an interest in
the land will be rejected. Only where
a man has acquired title to his land
can he enter into such transaction.
The work on the original canal is
nearly completed, but they will in
stall pumping plant at Spring creek
to pump water for two or three lat
erals and the power will be furnish
ed by dropping stream of water
thirty feet at Spring creek. This will
generate 500 horsepower when the
canal is full, and about $50 horse
power will operate the pumps, so the
UdlduCc Cdu UC uSCu lOl OIuCI pul-
poses.
He quotes General Manager Ban
croft of the Short Line as saying
that the work will soon begin on the
steam road to connect American
Falls, Aberdeen and the Mackay
branch. The surveyors will begin
work again next week, and the road
will be built to Aberdeen this year,
and connect with the Mackay branch
next year.
Mr.. Sweet is very proud of the
people who have located on the
American Falls tract, or what we
speak of as the Carey lands. He
says he could go out and gather up
twelve or fifteen university graduates
from those farms in a few hours, and

is RAISING STRAWBERRIES.

Henry Damn, WHO lives at River
side, has little tract Of Strawberries
amounting to about tenth Of an
acre, from which he has taken about
800 worth of fruit this season.
Now, If anybody wants to raise an
acre at that rate, or several acres,
there is a chance to have an income
that will soon put him on easy street.
1t does not require much capital to
get into the berry business, and the
returns begin right away. o. r.
Smith put out few thousand plants
this spring, and he is getting some
berries of of them this year. Next
year they will be in full bearing ca
pacity.

dozens of well educated men who are
making good at farming because they
farm intelligeDtly.
He says the cattle are doing an
immense amount of damage to the
canal banks and to crops. Cattle like
to play and fight and fight flies on
the banks of ditch or canal, and If
they can get out on ploughed field
or tract of grain it is so much the
better. He says the canal banks that
he had built up smooth and perfect
have been damaged to the extent OF
some thousands of dollars by the
stock.

ORIGIN OF THE PASSION PLAY.


A couple of centuries ago when the
people of Oberammergua, Bavaria,
were sorely troubled with plague,
and people were dying off rapidly,
some of the leading citizens con.
cluded that this was Judgment sent
upon them for the sins of the people
of their failure. to observe theif
Christian teachings more closely, and
as the matter was talked about town,
this came to be the generally accept
ed belief.
Then the people decided to begin
some kind of Christian work that
should be systematic and lasting, to
teach Christianity in most solemn
and impressive manner They decid-
ed to put the story of Christ's life
and crucifixion on the stage, and
made solemn promise to God that
if he would stay the ravages of the
plague, the survivors would prepare
the play and present 1t all summer
every tenth year, and charge their
descendants to continue the prac-
tice. The plague was lifted and the
play has been presented every ten
vars since that time, excepting when
1t was forbidden by the government
or the Pope. 1t is given at the close
of each decade-as 1900, 1870,
1920, 1880. The season lasts from
May until October or November, and
the play is presented every day, d.
vided into two sessions of hours
each The admission fee is eight dol
lars, and tourists from all parts of
the world go to see it. Nobody's
theological education was complete
without having seen it, as was no.
bodys military education complete
without having seen the cyclorama
of the Battle of Gettysburg at Chi
cago the last quarter of century.
Oberammergau has become the
Mecca for tourists during the season
and has built up tremendous
amount of business. The people re-
tain all of the old simplicity possible,
and their quaint manners of speech
and dress are an object lesson that
carry the visitor back to the things
of Apostolic days.
Bavarians scarcely know the use of
water as beverage, Bayarian beer
being used SO extensively, and 1t is
one Of the wonders to them and to
tourists from many other countries
that American visitors ignore the
beer that makes Bavaria famous, and
ask that water be served at their ta-
bles.
The play has been attempted in the
United States and in Mexico, but
were forced to quit, neither the gov
ernments nor the sentiment of Chris
tian people permitting anything so
solemn to be reproduced in the Or
dinary way upon the stage.
