Farmers SWEAR
ABOUT Water

A large number of farmers Of Star
and Middleton went to Boise Tuesday
to make affidavits in the Boise River
water case. Their af1idavits will COW
er the question of water sufficiency
under the decree of the district court
in 1905 and 1906, the time when the
first shortage of water in the river
occurred and the causes contributing
to the supply of water for 1907.
1t is claimed by the appellants that
the first shortage of water occurred
in 1900 and that with rotation and
the proper division of water as was
had under the order of the district
court in 1905 and 1905 that even dur
ing the short season there will be
SUFFICIENT water in the river for neces-
sary use, and that the supply in 1907
demonstrates that an inch to the acre
is not required for the best results.
The people affected are those under
the Middleton mill ditch and the
Middleton Water company's ditch and
they live along the valley from Star
to Middleton.
The users in the lower end of the
valley will soon be called to Caldwell
to make aff1davits in regard to these
facts.

living in clearinghouse in Brook

Life had been failure from a ma

he left were several that indicated
he was unable longer to provide for
his family. He decided to take his
life rather than continue, as he ex-

In a remarkable letter which he
left to Charles N. Dowd of this city,
who had befriended. him, the former
pastor declared that he was lonely
even in the church when he attempt

ings of Jesus" and asserted that the
modern church more nearly followed
the example of Robert Ingersoll than
that of Jesus
This letter read in part as follows:
Il took deeply to heart the teach
ings of Jesus and tried hard and long
to square my soul by them | found
at last what pitiful mistake | had
made and how lonely / was, even in
the church. The average man cares
little about what Jesus taught, and it
makes one heartsick to hear it's &C.
clesiastics pirate about it.
Il rejoice the better day dawning,
when society With--its superstitions

of men, shall have passed away and
religion that has a passion for truth,
justice, love and liberty, purity and
humanity shall prevail Ye gods,

THE day will soon come when the
world will prove that, sacred as is

ELEPHANTS THRIVE IN
THE BASIN OF CONGO
New York Tfmes.)

Contrary to the general belief that
Central African elephants could not
be tanned and made to perform the
same service as their Asiatic fellows
in India, a bulletin issued by the
Congo government announces the
complete success of experiments Con
Quoted at an elephant farm at Apt
in the Uele district, in the northern
section of the State.
Probably in no part of Africa are
elephants found in greater number
than in the basin of the Congo. Re-
coiling before the advance of ciyili-
cation, herds which once thickly occu-
pied all the humid countries of Cen
trail Africa-more especially in the
region from II degrees north latitude
southward-are now thinning or else
gathering IN regions inaccessible to
hunters. They still range freely in
many parts of the Congo, though not
easily found near posts long estab-
lished.
White hunters must obtain at a
cost of 500 francs (96.50) a permit for
killing them as game or for ivory,
and the number allowed to be killed
by each hunter is limited, as well as
the time validity of the permit Nat
ives must also obtain permission to
kill them. By these provisions whole
sale slaughter is in measure check
ed and the supply of ivory thus par
TALLY preserved But for the perman-
ent preservation of this source of
wealth and of the species the exper-
iment in DEMONSTRATING at Api also
have their value
By closely studying the habits and
characteristics of Central African ell
ephants in the work at the Api farm
much information of scientific value
about the comparatively little known
Congo variety was obtained. In the
region of the vast plains cut by rivers
and swampy streams of the Ueele
district the elephants thrive. They
live especially in the marshy regions,
feeding on the grass of the plains in
the early morning and returning to
the shelter of nearby forests when the
suns rays grow warm Rarely are
the solitary rogue" elephants met in
the Congo The African species are
found generally in families of three to
six individuals, but troops of twenty,
thirty or one hundred individuals are
not rare, and witnesses even affirm
that troops of several hundred exist.

AUTUMN COLORS
TO Bt FAVORED
Rage for Lovely Gray
Shades Will Continue.

New York, Aug. 31.-There has
been an absolute rage for pale gray
displayed during the whole of the
past season, and there is no doubt
! that this liking for a very lovely color
will be continued for at least som,
time
Some of the most admired of the
gowns were in palest gray, and it is
remarked that no other color appear
ed to show off beautiful jewels so
well as this. Such remark from
such source will no doubt contri-
butte to the popularity of refined and
effective color, which is none the
worse for its negative quality.
1t used to be said of black that no
one could look best in that negation
of all color. Old-fashioned people
might imagine that the same would
be true of gray Amusingly album
dant could be the instances given of
the exact opposite of this. How ex-
traordinary it appears that the smart
women of the fashionable world would
appear to model their costumes upon
the smartly dressed of the half
world, while the latter do their
best to resemble their home respect
able sisters. There has been tug-of-
war in this respect for pale gray
during this season.
The deepareddish brown and brown
ish purple shades which have claim
ed attention as relieving c0lors this
summer are exploited earnestly among
the fall silks and velvets. Wild plum,
Concord grape, prune and various
other kindred shades seem likely to
figure prominently among the winter
cOlorings.
Cedar red eor cedar brown-which
are one and the same thing and sug-
gest the old time mahogany, though
with an added softness of tone-bids
fair to be popular autumn color,
and the chaudron or copper tones
keep their hold upon public favor.
