TOWNS OF ST.
JOE AND TERRELL
Growing New Towns at the
Head Of Navigation on
st. Joe River.

On the west side of the st.
Joe river at the head Of navigation
is situated the town Of st. Joe, and
on the east side almost directly OPP
posite Is situated the town of Terrell.
The townsite of Terrell comprises
the old homestead Of VIM. Terrell,
after whom the town Is named, and
the town of st. Joe il named after
the river upon which 1t is located.
Both owe their birth to the develop
meDt Of the rich timber country that
surrounds them, and are thriving
and prosperous and have bright flu
ture as the development of this
vast territory Of pine has just been
commenced. Each can lay claim to
about 700 people but from now on
the timber industry will be devel-
oped by leaps and bounds, and the
towns themselves are destined to
keep pace with it and grow and pros
per. Besides the timber industry
the towns are supported by other in
dustries that will develop with the
years and contribute greatly to their
support and prosperity. All of the
country surrounding them is of q
mineral character, but mining in
dustry so far is in its infancy. A
number of good prospects have been
made that pass the prospect stage
and have every indication of becom-
ing mines as soon as they can be
properly worked and developed. The
fact that the country is now provided
with railroad facilities through the
Chicago. Milwaukee & Puget Sound
road will be a great factor In the de-
yelopment of this industry. Farm
ing is carried on to but a limited ex-
tent, though the country can boast
Of some OF the finest hay ranches in
north Idaho. but as the timber is
cleared away this will also become
one of the industries OF this section.
During the hot seasons Of the year
the territory Is visited by hundreds
and hundreds of tourists who desire
to get away from the hot weather In
the cities and are in search of recrea-
ton and sport. The streams In the
vicinity OF the towns, and they are
innumerable are all teeming with
fsh, and the woods and hills are
hlled with all manner Of game-the
large as well as the small, and the
hunter can find game and sport to
his hearts content. The town is well
provided with hotels to care for
these tourists. and every accommo-
dation necessary to make their ex-
petition not only q pleasant but sue
eessful one can be secured.
Besides being provided with trans
portation facilities through the Nil
Waukee railroad the towns have COM
munieation with Occur d'A1ene city
ey means Of the Red Collar boat line
which connects with the Occur a.
AIene & Spokane railroad leading to
spokane. The beauty Of the scenery
and the marvellous resources sur
rounding the territory Of st. Joe and
Ferreh can not be portrayed in lang
uage, q personal visit Is necessary.

Roped a 500 Pound Sturgeon.

A 800 pound sturgeon found It's
way into the fish pound formerly
owned by Asa Stannard, now the
property of A. w. Stokes, on Monday
night. The fish measured nine feet
eight inches in length.
When the sturgeon found herself
a prisoner she made desperate efforts
to break out, but as the pound was
a new one the efforts were fruitless.
By means of ropes the fish was got
ashore and slain. There were about
fifty pounds of eggs discovered, said
to be worth about 81 a pound. AS
the fish itself brings about fifteen
cents a pound, 1t proved to be a valu-
able catch. - Westbrook Correspond

No Damages If All Are Killed.

The Supreme Court of the State of
Missouri decided that the Missouri
Pacific Railway could not be held for
damages In a case where one of it's
trains ground an entire family to
death. BY the ruling of the court 1t
was economy for the railroad to wipe
out the family, for had n member
been left alive he could have OBJ
tanned financial redress.
This ruling was given in an action
for $4,000 damages of George G..
Gilkerson, as administrator of the
estate of Philip Ragal. Gilkerson re-
ceived an adverse verdict in the Cir
cult Court of johnson County and he
went to the supreme Court with the
result stated.
Ragal, his wife and their three
sons were killed in a wreck on the
Missouri Pacific. Not of the fam
lily lived five minutes after the crash.
Gilkerson was confident he would
win heavy damages, but the court de-
cided that as the entire family was
dead there was no person with the
right to damages. Had the road
been merciful, the court ruled, and
left one alive, then there would have
been cause of action.

Exercise For Fowls.

There is no doubt that exercise Is
very beneficial to fowls. Among hui
mans the lack of exercise combined
with high feeding causes most trou-
blesome diseases, such as dropsy.
The same laws govern the animal
world. There are several things that
exercise does. One of these is, 1t
prevents the birds becoming too fat,
which in turn destroys their useful
ness. No matter how much a bird
eats, If it exercises it will keep the
fat from accumulating, as the mus
cular exertion causes the lungs to
work excessively, and in doing this
they burn up a large amount of car
bon, which comes from the food. Be-
ing burned up in this way, it does not
accumulate on the body and around
the intestines in the form Of fat.
In the poultry house, whole grain
should be fed in cut straw or chaff
spread thickly. If it is fed in hay or
whole straw the task of uncovering it
is too light. The finer the straw the
more perfectly will it cover the grain
that is sown in 1t, and the more diff
cult will be the task of getting it out,
which the hens must do kernel by
kernel. II poultry keepers would
follow this plan their fowls would lay
more eggs, for the reason that they
would not be over-fat and would be in
generally good health. The mere fact
of exercise does not cause the produc-
ton of eggs.

Decline Of Track Gambling.

Only a few years since rae track
gambling was widely prevalent. Chi
cago was among the communities
which took the Iced in suppressing
this evil. Somewhat over a year ago
Governor Hughes inaugurated a
movement against race track gam
bling in New York State. Success
attended his efforts to secure the
passage of a law which has dealt a
blow to this practice. Since that
time Louisiana, Texas, California and
Washington have enacted laws hav-
ing the same purpose in view. Last
week the Florida Legislature passed a
bill designed to prohibit gambling at
race tracks. The success of the move
ment against this particularly harm
full method of spreading the gam
bling fever is a gratifying sign of the
Nations moral development.-Chi-

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of great discoveries OF
inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack OF bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find a food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that a food which vas a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with
the average mar does not accomplish
the desired results. He knew that
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centres Is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain n nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked stur-
diness n activity of the brain and
nervous system, making it a pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant, but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming, and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken Of, C. w. Post. is to be seen
on each genuine package OF Grape
Nuts.

DROUGHT PARCHEs CROPS.
Territory 200 Miles in Diameter
About New York Suffers.

New York City.-Encompassing
this city is a well-defned ring, some
200 miles in diameter, within which
1t is as dry as brick dust, with vege-
tables, fruits and flowers parching to
4 crisp. Outside of that circle rain
mas fallen plentifully, the grass is
green and every valley suggests the
Land of Goshen.
Reports show that throughout an
extensive territory, with New York
as the centre, farm conditions are
distressing, with waters in wells and
rivers drying out, and the roads al
most impossible for the dust.
An unusual feature of this is that
the section affected is so clearly de-
fined. For weeks there has been NO
rain of consequence in Eastern New
York State, Southern Connecticut,
New Jersey and Eastern P%ennsyIva-
MIA, while conditions in North Con-
necticut, Western New York and

STEADY SUPPLY OF PEARLS.
Purpose of Scientific Investigation
in the Ceylon Fisheries.

IN tne Ceylon Fisheries,
The pearl banks of Ceylon. II NAV
be pointed out, are merely sand
banks formed of sandstone and con-
cretions upon which isolated masses
OF coral grow without forming roofs.
SO that severe disturbance of the oys-
ter bed may very easily be set up.
1t is found that the collection of the
spat by native divers Is slow, but the
most satisfactory.
The pearl bearing cestode is not
a true oyster for edible purposes. but
Is more closely added to the mussel
family. 1t differs from the ordinary
animal in having a "byssus," or bum
die OF tough threads, by means of
which 1t secures a firm adherence to
suitable materials, and similar to the
facilities possessed by the musseI.
Attempts are being made in cultiyat-
ing this oyster by artificial impreg-
nation OF the pearl forming larvae.
Investigation is being carried out to
ascertain the origin of the spa and
how it periodically disappears. In
connection with this research a thor
ough study is being made of the sea
currents on and around the oyster
banks and of the surface drift in
the Gulf.
The fishery is very intermittent.
Prior to 1903 there had been none
for twelve years. and the situation
became so serious that a commission
was appointed to investigate the SUBJ
ject. In 1905 the harvest was the
greatest on record. Over 100000
oysters were collected, realizing ST.
100000, t%wo-thirds going to the
islands treasury. In the subsequent
two years it dwindled regularly, and
1908 proved barren. 1t is against
the recurrence of intermittent fat and
lean years that scientific devel-
opments are being conducted SO that
the fishery each year may be of more
steady and reliable proportions. By
the assistance of science 1t is antici-
pated that the speculative character
Of the enterprise may be almost
eliminated.
During the last few years the ten
dency toward community of inter-
ests" had developed among the ma
tives at the auction sales. A ring"
was formed to bring prices down, at
the same time keeping out small pur-
chasers, but an officer promptly sus-
pended the auction indefinitely. The
members of the ring, apprehensive
that their journey to the island would
prove abortive, broke up, since which
time there has never been any at
