BUYS HENRY
COOK RANCH
Col. Lamb ertOn Becomes Owner Of
Finest Ranch at MOuu.
tain Home.

An evidence of the growing val
ue of land in thevicinity of Noun
tain Home is the sale of the Cook
Ranch to Colonel c. H. Lamberton
of Mountain Home, the considera-
tion $40, 000.> MIR. Lambcrtion may
have possession as soon as he de-
ircd.
The ranch consists of about one
half section and is one of the ideal
places of all Southern Idaho.
Twenty acres are in bearing or
chard, chiefly apples of good vari-
ETY.. In this orchard, however,
may be found nearly every kind of
fruit that can be grown in the
Temperate zone.
While we regret seeing Henry
sell his place and our regret
would be trebled If we Thought
the country would lose him, still
as he saw fit to sell we are gladl
indeed that sucn a man as Colonel
Lamberton as the purchaser.
The Colonel came to Mountain
Home about the middle of last Sep
tember from Seattle here he hac
resided Tor few months. He was
born and raised in Minnesota, was
in the banking business south q
Minneapolis for more than twenty
years, then built and operated {
large hotel in AIKEN, South Caroline
for several years, entertaining the
blue blooded aristocracy OF the New
York Four Hundred. This business
he sold upwards of quarter of ;
million dollars. The Colonel is
man of great personal wealth and {
clever, genial gentleman of the OLE
school. The exact kind of MAJ
that one pictures possessing such
ranch as that of Heuiy Cook. Th
Colonel says that he bought tn
ranch not as a money maker o
speculative purposes, but for th
purpose of making home wher
the boys could drop in and Sc
him once in awhile. MI. La mber
ton will breed few fancy horse
and some good stock of all kind

lonu Hair a Mark of Honor.

In olden times excessively long hail was considered mark of honor and rank. For many centuries long hai' was in France the distinctive mark oI kings The ancient Persians and Par thians of high caste wore long, fown: hair. while the poorer classes were obliged to cut theirs short. Homel speaks of the long haired Greeks by way of distinction.
 The Gauls considered long hair 2 mark of honor, but Caesar obliged them to cut it of in token of submis- sion. Long hair was thought by the Franks to denote high birth, and the Goths looked upon it as distinctive mark of culture and honor. Short hair was considered by nearly all the old nations to denote thraldom. and even now criminals have their heads shaved Denver Times.
