Sanitary science denounces the fly
as one of the most important angels
of the pcstilence and spreaders OF
disease and demands its extermina-
ton. What is urged is. not that he
should be killed, but prevented from
coming into existence at all.
The first convincing object lesson
that we had OF his real deadliness
was In the outbreak OF typhoid
among our soldiers in the home
camps during the SpanishAmeriean
War. Here died on our own soil. In

source in the way of food supplies

VIII Seek Relief.

AT the meeting last week at Boise OF
the executive committee OF the League
OF Southern Idaho Commercial Clubs it
was decided to sue the o. s. L. Railroad
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for relief from whaC is consider
ed unjust discrimination in the matter
of freight rates to Idaho points. 1t is
claimed the railroad is now charging a
rate on most al freight from the east
equal to the rate from eastern points to
Portland plus the local rate from Port
land to local points, the local rate from
Portland being higher than the through
rate from Chicago and other eastern
points to Portland. In other words, tn,
people of Portland and other coast town'
are required to pay less than one-half as
much freight on the goods they receive
from the east than is charged for tn,
same goods from the same points used
by the people OF Nampa and other Ida
no towns. This not considered a squar
deal, and a serious handicap to the pros
perity OF Idaho from which relief will b.
sought.-Nampa Herald.

State.

The sale Of lots on Payette lakes which
was to have been held at Weiser, Aug
ust 3, and in which much interest was
being manifest, has been indefinitely
postponed. This action was taken by
the state land board yesterday following
the receipt Of a telegram from Secretary
Garfield Of the interior department,
which ihtimated that the plans Of the
reclamation service might later Interfere
with the tract Of land the state had
plated into lots.
The reclamation service plans to uti
lie the lake for a conservation reservoir
in connection with the Payette Boise
project. The outlet is to be damned and
the water line Of the lake will be raised
probably Is feet, but whether this will
interfere with the tract plated on the
western shore cannon be determined un.
til the department, survey has been com
pleted, but it is believed that it will not
wholly destroy the ndy beach whicl
adds SO much to the attractiveness o
the proposed summer settlement.
1t is probable, however, that a new
trait lying farther back from the LAKE
will be plated, but the matter is no
likely to come up until the plans of th'
reclamation service have been deinitel.
