Government Report Says IL Is Light
in Southern Part of the tSate.

During the month the precipita-
ton was above normal in the north
ern counties, the excess covering the
region drained by the tributaries of
the upper Columbia and small parts
of the Clearwater and Salmon river
drainage areas Elsewhere the pre-
cipitation was light, the deficiency
being greatest in the extreme south
eastern and southern counties. In
the northern counties the melting of
the snow has proceeded slowly, while
in the southern part of the state the
melting was much more rapid. The
month was rather windy, and in
many places the snow accumulated in
drifts, and in some instances the
drifts are solid and in good condition
to melt slowly. The present indica-
tions point to somewhat above the
average waterflow in the upper Co.
lumbia river drainage area, about the
average or little less in the Seven
Devils mountains and the area drain
ed by the Clearwater and Salmon
rivers, and considerably less than the
average in the remainder of the state,
including the Owyhee mountains and
the region drained by the Payette
Boise, Wood, upper Snake and Bear
rivers.-Ex.

REBEKAHS INITIATE.

On Wednesday evening Golden Star
Rebekah lodge had the PLEASURE Of ini-
tiatfng eight new members. Lodge was
called to order by Noble Grand Sister
Cassie Wright.
The invitation of Rev Edwards to
attend the I. o. o. F: anniversary SER
mon was accepted.
After the usual business was finished
the new members were initiated as fol-
lows: Mrs Clara Hooper, Mrs. Sarah
Haney, Mrs. T. j. Ravenor, Mrs. Bessie
Pearson, Mrs. J. Warnek, Mrs. Lucy
Truman and Mrs. Emma Roush. The
new staff certainly were we'll drilled
and did their work we'll After lodge
they all marched to the dining room
where delicious banquet was waiting
for them.
With the exception of Mrs Roush all
the ladies came down from Moore on
the Mackay branch. They expect some
day to have lodge at their home town
while Golden Star will be sorry to lose
them, we know those energetic ladies'
are capable of organizing a strong
lodge in the Lost River country and we

agement. Number %.

matter and charging twice as much
for the paper, because In most cases
they are cutting out the patent in
side or patent medicine advertise
ments or some of the least valuable
reading matter.
The public is already burdened
with too much trash in their papers,
and a careful selection OF matter
suited to the wants of the locality
is better for all, and eliminates the
waste of labor and material for the
publisher and waste Of time for the
readers.
The Republican publishes a large
amount of reading matter, different
pages being designated for different
classes, but it Is carefully selected
and nothing trashy Is used. If it
does not all interest you, remember
that very few persons represent the
tastes and interest of all classes. If
we charged at the same rate per
page that many of the Idaho week
lies are charging, 1t would cost four
dollars a year instead of two.

US names, and use up quite a list
saying that the editor of The Repub-
lican has a poor shriveled, widowed,
dried-up soul = that his brain is small
that he has no conscience. or II he
has any it is scared by committing SO
many petty, mean acts that he can
not distinguish between the sale OF
advertising space in newspaper, and
the bartering of editorial opinions
He then seeks to justify his position
by copying The Registers statement
that The Republican is a slush pot
and lot of other abuse that went
the rounds of some of Mr.. Brady
influential Gibraltars of journalism
a month ago, including Editor Tai
bots statement that an editor should
know better than>to use his paper for
any old kind of politics that comes
along.
That statment of Talbot's covers
the scope of our comment on The Pi-
oneer, and we enjoy the spectacle OF
having the Brady organs convict one
another.
We commend Mr.. Brady for hav-
ing shown his magnanimity with The
Pioneer, as they enlarged the paper
the week they began work for him,
and have held their size" as true
as a tamarack.
We exhonerate Mr.. Brady from the
further conduct of The Pioneer editor
in calling us pet names, for we are
sure our future governor is not In

For the information of those who
have not the honor Of reading The
Pioneer we will state that 1t calls
Editor Trego a limburger cheese, a
loo-loo, a blackbird, peach, daisy
and adds that he is stencil in the
nostrils of every decent newspaper
man in the valley.
We have observed with much sat.
isfaction that Mr.. Brady's journals
have been blowing smoke and other
effete matter in our direction, but
we accounted for it on the principle
that what is in a man is the only
thing that can come out and nothing
else is to be expected of them.

OUR SHIFTLESSNESS.

While we are aspiring to be rich
and wondering when we shall be able
to buy out John d. Rockefeller, it
will do us no harm to observe that
one of the things that our prosperity
depends upon is good roads. A ride
through our streets and country
roads reveals the bad condition of
bridges and culverts. In many cases
good new culverts are barely covered
with dirt, and as soon as it packs
down, the lumber is exposed and suf-
fers from every passing wheel, while
the team and vehicle also suffer.
Hardly bridge is properly protected
at the edge, although dirt is plenti-
full and lumber is high.
1t is a pretty busy time to work
roads, but little time sacrificed at
the right time will make great saw

SCHOOL GARDENING IN THE
GRADES.
Continued from page ~

number of pounds OF sound fruit and
the number of pounds of unworthy
fruit. After having done this they
obtain of the apples the price per
pound and calculate the amount of
damage done in dollars and cents.
After seeing and realizing the dam
age done they are led to form plans
for destroying the insects. They visit
orchards where sprays are used and
compare the sprayed and unsprayed
trees by the resulting crops from
each.
They then begin to experiment
with remedies. They find that the
plan of spraying while the trees are
in blossom does no good but Is posi-
lively harmful, as the eggs are not
then deposited and hundreds of
honey bees are killed by using. the
nectar in the poisoned flowers. Again
they find that spraying is not always
successful as rains and dew are liable
to wash the spray from the apple.
The natural enemies are observed
and the downy wopdpecker and bat
are found to be of immense benefit
in Kidding an orchard of the coddling
moth. The woodpeceker is seen,
when undisturbed, at work busily
picking the larvae out from beneath
the rough bark on the trunk. The
moth Is nocturnal in its habits and
as such has great enemy in the Of
ten despised little bat. The nuthatch,
bluebird, blackbird, chickadee, wren,
sparrow and jay are also found to
feed upon the coddling moth.
: Again, the children observe the
cocoons in the storerooms and cellars
and are led to look for them else
where. To their surprise they find
the fruit cars, viii h they may visit
containing hundreds of cocoons In
the cracks of the boards. Also the
stores are visited and the same num-
bers of cocoons observed where ap-
pies are stored. The children destroy
these cocoons and put screens over
their own cellar windows and apple
bins to prevent the escape of the
moths.
The most efficient way to destroy
the insects will be found to dstroy
the larvae. This is done by the chill
dren removing all the rough parti-
cles of bark from sections of the
tree trunk and then binding pieces of
heavy paper or cloth about the ex-
posed portions. The larvae, when
crawling down the trunk to spin CO.
coons, will reach these sections and,
finding the cloth good protection,
will spin their cocoons underneath
it. Then every few days the children
can remove the cloth and destroy
cocoons formed.
What the children learn at school
is practiced at home and scarcely
day will pass but the teacher will
hear of experiments tried at home on
the aples trees. The children thus
interested do not forget but when
grown men and women with homes of
their own, they will know how to sue
cessfully manage that farm sc as to
produce the best and most fruit that
the land is capable of supporting.

To Clean Up the Cemetery.

Some of the gentlemen of Black
foot are agitating for a cleaning day
at the cemetery to give the V. l. s.
lift.
The plan is to have each person of
Blackfoot and, surrounding country
devote day to cleaning out weeds
and trash Those who can take
teams will do the hauling, and those
who cannot go out to work pay a dol
lar into the mile of pennies fund.
Every person over Is years old to
be subject to the draft. Each per-
son on payment of his or her dollar
or on doing the work receives a tag
which is attached to the clothing to
indicate that he has done his part.
The plan is to make it patriotic
affair, free for all, compulsory with
none.
1t is generally conceded that the
time has come for this work to be
done, and the ladies of the v. l. s.
are not in a position to undertake
such big job without the united
effort of the whole community
Everybody can spare day for this
work and men working in the stores
need day out in the sun and dust.
1t will be good change for them and
the young ladies of the community
will probably have big tent at which
they will serve luncheon to the hum
CRY so they can eat and work again.
1t might not be proper to speak of
this as a gala day nor yet religious
affair, yet 1t should be a pleasure to
all to do what they can to make this
little preparation for their future
home.
We suggest that the ladies take
this matter up and organize their
working forces, appoint the day or
days and we think the citizens will
respond. 1t would probably be best
to have the work cover a period of
three days, as all could not respond
on the same day, and those who plan
the work might not be able to furn-
ish proper tools and direct the work
to good advantage, anyhow, If they
all went out at once.
Some members of the G. A. r. have
suggested having the cleaning day

EX-GOVERNOR TALKS.

VIM. Mcconnell, ex-governor Of
Idaho, was here Monday on his way
to his mines at Era, and in speaking
of the political situation, he said tha
politics in Idaho is getting very
complicated and that this will prob
ably be a closely contested election
in state affairs.
He gave as his reason, that the
Democrats will eliminate Dubois ant
the Mormon question, and the Nor
mon Democrats will vote their owr
ticket, thus taking away some of the
strength from the Republican party
He says the question of local option
Is sure to be a factor in the cam.
paign; that the liquor men had fail
warning two years ago that local op.
ton was coming and that they could
just as we'll be unloading. That
things could probably be handled in
the legislature Of 1907 to give them
another two years to get ready to
quit, but that by 1908 the public
would take steps to close up a large
number of saloons in the state. He
thinks the Republican party will
have local option plank in their
platform, and that the Democrats
will adopt it too to keep from losing
the vote of temperance Democrats.
Continuing, Mr. Mcconnell said,
"Of course the saloonmen are put
ting up that old talk that this tenn
perance movement will wipe out so
much business, and will make such a
loss i used to think that myself I'M
til l thought clearly on the matter
and reduced 1t to mathematical
problem. Here is the solution of that
bug-a-boo. What does saloon pro-
duce? Nothing. What does the bar
tender produce? Nothing. They dis
qualify people for usefulness in pro-
portion as they serve them. Then
their work Is damper. If hire a
man to work in my mine, perhaps he
has been boozing and it takes time
to get him braced up so he can do
good work. He works a couple of
months and takes his check and goes
to town to get some things. In a
short time he Is disqualified for work,
and has neglected to get the things
he went to town for.
IF the people who handle liquor
were not there, If they were investing
their money in land, for instance, and
producing hay and potatoes or fruits
or beef or mutton, their work would
be blessing instead of a hindrance,
and then we could more readily con-
duct their other lines of business.
never realized what an awful hind
rance liquor is to business until /
began to develop these mines.
didn't notice 1t so much years ago,
but the question is with us and it is
a real one that we cannot get away
