the People of Deary.

quit orderly and peaceable manner, and
should said boar of county commissioners
determine adversely to the applicant
upon any grouns above specifde, the
license must be refused, and the sheriff
shall return the amount deposited to said
applicant; otherwise the said licens may
be granted; and such order of the board
OF Corn y Commissioners shall be sub
ject to appeal to the district court as in
the case OF other orders of the Board
They went further and told the people
there, that, if they had not granted the
license. the members of the Board of
County Commissioners would have been
liable on their bonds. Note the law on
that, the law plainly says that the rem
edy is an appeal to the District Court.
The Board on their own motion could
have refused to grant the license. 1t
was their duty to refuse to grant the
license upon the showing made before
them. The petition for saloon did not
state that it would be for the best inter
ests of the people in Deary or any other
place to have saloon in Deary, while
the remonstrance did state positively
that saloon would be detrimental to
the best interests of the people of Deary
and the surrounding country. The
present Board OF County Commissioners
violated the law by granting a saloon
license in Dearly, and the County attor-
ney acquised in it or he would have had
the order granting the license appealed
to the District Court. 1t was Stillinger's
duty to protect the people of Deary, but
he did not do it. To excuse himself and
the Board Mr. Stillinger now deems it
necessary to delibertly faluify as to the
law on the subject.

Miss Florence Zumhof, democratic

she is an accomplished young lady Of
fine executive ability and in every

The Potlatch gang who have stolen
the name OF the Republican party APP
peard in Deary last Saturday and in or
der to curry favor with the voters delib-
erately lied to the people. This is what
they told to the temperance people in
Deary. They told the good people up
there that because there was more people
on the petition forthe saloon than there
was on the remonstrance that the Board
of county commissioner, under the law
had to grant the license. That state-
ment by w. f. Stillinger and Chris
Hagen is a lie and they knew they were
falsifying when they made it. The Troy
News furnishes the best proof in the
" orld that they lied and that is the law
on the subject. Here is the law just as
it appears on pages 220 and 23l of the
1907 Idaho Session Laws.
'Section 5of House Bill No. SO as en-
acted by the 1907 Legislature of the State
OF Idaho reads as follows: That when
application is made for the sale of int
oxicating liquors as in this section prov
ided for place outside OF any incorap-
rted city, either upon their own motion
or upon objections duly file upon the
part of any citizen or resident of the pre-
cinct within which tits intended to carry
on such sale, the county commissioners
shall determine whether or not the graf
ing of such sale license will be conducive
to the best interests of the community
in which such saloon or business is pro-
posed to de established, and whether or
not such applicant is fit person to have
such license and carry ON said business
and whether or not such place of sale and
business will likely to be conducted in a

The rain fell in buckets, the thunder racketed terribly, and the lightning drew zigzag lines of bright gold upon the violet sky.
 "So you, too, don't know what an inch of rain is exactly" said the weather clerk. as he looked at his rain measuring instrument Very few people do. it seems. I'll explain 1t to you
 An acre is 6,272.6i0 square inches An inch of water on an acre is there fore 6,272,640 cubic inches, That amount at 227 cubic inches to the g9l lon, equals 22.00O gallons. or 220,OoO pounds. or 100 tons.

Ninety per cent. of the coinage by the United States in he fiscal year of 1908 consisted of gold eagles, a coin which probably not one in a hun dred people sees as often as once a year. Altogether the coinage of the country comprised IT different varie, ties, seven of which were for the Philippine islands in pesos and centa- vos, and one of which of the same de- nomination was for account Of the Mexican government.

Bent on an errand of mercy, city prowler made his way into a strange neighborhood. What impressed him most was the bookstore windows. In every one for blocks around were stacks of a new book he had never heard of by a writer Of whom he had never heard.
 Who is this man?" he finally asked. "Whv is he so po' ular hereabouts?"
 He is the pastor of the Presby- tcrian church down in the next block" s,id the statloner. Every bookseller in the neighborhood Is making spe. cialty of his book. That is the usual way of doing things wten a clergy man brings out a new book. Anybody else might appear tn the publishers catalogue every month without arous- inc local pride. but with the preachers it is different When a minister turns anthor that old saw about the prophet being without honor in his own coun- try is disproved with a vengeance. Every spring there is considerable literary output by the pastors of New York churches. The first place where these volumes are put on sale is the bookstores near the church where the minister breaches, and usually the largest sales are made there"

WHEN THINKING OF MARRIAGE.


 Learn whether she is selfish. You can tell this in three ways-by the manner in which she listens to what you say, by the way she accepts what you do for her, and by the difference between the way she treats you and the way she treats others
 Is she flckle? If she talks about light things she isn't. Deep, she is.
 Is she extravagant? Study the way in which she protests against your spending money on her and always ar ranges matters so that you cant help but do it.
 Is she a bad housekeeper? Watch the way she dresses If she is spic and span she isn't. If she isn't then she is.
 THE SOLUTION.
 When you have satisfied your mind that she is all of these things marry her at once, if you can get her, for the following reasons:
 First, because if she really loves you she will change.
 Second, because if you love her 1t will be so much more interesting.
 Third, because you are probably mistaken about her, anyway.-Judge.
