Willis Sweets Book.

Our scrap books of twenty years ago show
on many pages the high regard which the people
of Idaho had for Willis Sweet, the first member
of Congress from the new State.
On January 16, 1897, the Bonner's Ferry Herald
had this to say of his book:
Hon. Willis Sweet has our thanks for copy of
his book, Election of Senators by Direct Vote of
the People"
1t is an instructive work and is written in Mr..
Sweets we'll known, forcefu style.
Mr.. Sweet has taken up popular theme-at least

lust Forty Years Ago.

Our scrap books show something of the poetic
fervor which took possession of at least one man
(Pabor) in the fall campaign of 1868 when Grant
and Colfax ran as Republican candidates for the
presidency and vice-presidency The couplet was as
follows:
GRANT, COLFAX AND SUCCESS.
The long roll sounds from rocky Maine
To CALIFORNIA; slope
1t echoes over lake and plain
And bears the Nations hope;
The watchword starts from countless hearts
That ready stand to bless,
And one glad cry goes up the sky
GRANT, COLFAX and SUCCESS!
The Nations pulse beats firm and true,
The countrys cry rings clear
The banner of the boys in blue
Is lifted far and near;
The ballot takes the bullets place,
Again the land they save;
Once more the 1aurels of the race
Above a hero wave.
A soldier true, a statesman tried =
Ring out each glorious name;
GRANT stands with COLFAX by his side,
And both our homage claim.
The long roll sounds from rocky Maine
To CALIFORNIA; slope,
1t echoes over lake and plain,
And bears the Nations hope

Historical Notes

Exuberance of July 3, 1890.

There is no greater day to the early pioneers of
Idaho than that one day, July 3, 1890 That was
the day upon which President Benjamin Harrison
signed the bill admitting Idaho to statehood.
The small population which the State had at that
time filled very many of the early pioneers with
a feeling of doubt as to the probability of the
admission of Idaho territory into the sisterhood
Of states They we're none the less loyal and true
and hopeful for the future of this newly admitted
commonwealth, and the exuberance of the popula-
ton over this legislative enactment, far surpassed
ANYTHING in the way of enthusiasm that many of
them perhaps have felt since Bonfres burned in
every village, hamlet and city; cannon were fired,
and salutes bands played professions of men and
of school children paraded Streets flags foated
and fireworks freely exploded.
The Scimitars scrap books in many places recall
all of this to mind, and especially So the following
poster 12x16 in size, printed on purple paper and
gotten out by the Pocatello Herald paper started
in Pocatello in 1889 by Hon. George P Wheeler,
veteran newspaper man we'll known in Idaho and
Oregon now
The poster is as follows
Herald Extra

Dirty Air and Coal Bills.

Chicago Tribune: A person does
not stay in the water long in order
TO get wet; neither is it necessary fol
one to remain in a polluted atmos
phere long before feeling its bad eff
fects. A number of persons soor
poison the air in room and make il
unfit to breath.
Air that is laden with dust is al
WAYS dangerous. 1t Is known thai
among those who work in dusty cccu
pations there is a high rate from
bronchitis. pneumonia. and tuberculo
sis. It is also known that minera
dusts are more injurious to the lungs
and air passages than are the vegeta
BILE dusts. This is why the death rate
from diseases of the respiratory or
gans among stone and metal workers
is so much greater than it is among
workers in -four mills and grain ele
vators.
The remedy is perfect ventilation
And while it is true that frequent
changes of air will necessarily affect
the coal bills. this should not be
measured agaist diseased lungs. be
logged brains, and impaired efficien
cy. In other words. it means both
health and economy to have plenty Of
fresh air

Postoffice robberies have become in
creasingly frequent of late and have
entailed large losses upon individual
officials and the postoffice department.
During the last year alone there We're
l,So2 such robberies. an increase of
PSI over the preceding. And this in
crease is made in spite of the fact that
the secret service has been and is max
ing the most determined fight to stamp
out this particular kind OF thievery.
From these 1902 robberies the govern
ment assumed losses amounting TO
sT2,9S4 in postage stamps. sl5,6a7
postal funds, and s12.711 money-order
funds, combining 10 form a total loss
of about 100000 sum well worth
considering.
So much for the number of robber-
les committed and the loss resulting
from them, As for the detection of
the criminals responsible for these
thefts the statistics complied by the
authorities show that during the
same year Sc rostoffice burglars were
arrested and all but about half doz.

! The government never ceases its
| pursuit of these thieves. who are
mostly professionals and make a spec
ialty of rohbing postoftices. One fea-
ture of the case, always pulling 10
4 the government officials. is the readi
ness with which business men in high
standing will purchase hundreds o.
dollars worth of stamps from person>
not connected with the postal seryice
and without either asking questions OF
reporting 10 the authorities These
stamps are necessarily sold through

and the government secret service
4 men contend. with some show OF rea
son. that merchants who buy their
stamps in large quantities from un
known men are making y easy for
the postotfiee burglars to so on with
their work.
Not long ago a postoffice in an lndi
ana town was robbed of $4,000 worth
of stamps and currency, the loss fall
ing upon the postmaster. who. for his
own reimbursement, must wait till
special legislation provides relief.

RAISING Apples in Iowa.

Cedar Falls Record: Down in Iowa
county near Williamsburg are cou-
pie of farmers named Harrington who
are raising apples for that whole sec
ton They go about 1t In a systemat
ic manner. In the first place the best
varieties were planted some years
ago. In the second place. a spraying
outfit is used with great care and at
proper times and. thirdly, the or
chards are given the closest attention.
Pruning is done in a systematic man
ner. Insects of dangerous charac-
to- are promptly suppressed and ev-
erything is done that insures longe
witty OF the trees and fertility of buc
and blossom. The result is tat ap
pie raising is profitable. At the meet
ing of the state horticultural society
in Des Moines recently these mer
had fine collection and the apples
were as free from knots and scars as
are the varieties shipped here from
Colorado and California, while the
flavor surpasses these. AT the ma
tional horticultural meeting at Coun
Gil Bluffs these men won first honors
What the Iowa county farmers are do
iny others can do also. Iowa ought
to raise its own apples and more too
AS it now is millions OF barrels are
shipped into the state from Michigan
and New York.
