right to demand qualifications, educa-
ton, character and personality in
your teachers, and you should get them
At present the law demands and the
people expect their teachers only to
have little learning; to be able to
do few school room gymnastics and
President Buck terms them; and to
be reasonably moral in character.
There is the sum total of requirements
of a teacher, and there is the sum to-
tai of attainments of teacher. If
one has those accomplishments he is
eligible. Other professions demand
more get more and pay more.
They attract the teachers who
could make success of teach
ing. The thing for the tax
payers and the parents of children to
do is to make the rewards of teaching
so great that the men and women of
brains, energy, devotion and character
will enter the calling with the idea
and purpose of making teaching the
object of their lives.

GOOD ROADS ARE NEEDED

A movement of comparatively re-
cent origin in the United States is
that looking toward the accomplish
ment of good country roads. But
while the movement is new, it has
gained considerable momen-
tum and the object of the movement
is nearing attainment. We do not
mean by this that there will soon be
good roads throughout the country,
but rather that soon public sentiment
will be sufficient to COMPEL the con-
struction and maintenance of good,
country roads wherever practical. Woe
betide the community that neglects to
build good roads. Whether that COM
munity be rural or urban, it will sure
ly suffer in the severe competition
that now exists, unless it sees to it's
public highways. The farming COM
munity cannot afford, for obvious
reasons to have poor roads; the urban
community will suffer the loss of
business and trade if it permits poor
roads leading to it. This being true,
the matter of securing good roads
is only matter of time; but now is
the time for the enterprising town.
That city which first has good roads
leading to it will gain an immeasure-
able advantage. Here in the Boise
Valley are Caldwell and Nampa, only
nine miles apart, both seeking in a
large measure the same trade. The
one that maintains the better public
highways will secure that trade. It
is up to both towns to get busy.
Throughout country towns are sim
ilarly situated as Caldwell and Nam
pa. That which applies here applies
generally. Men of thought are COM
mencing to realize the waste that
poor roads in America have caused;
and are turning their attention t.
the matter. 1t is said American roads
are the poorest that prevail in any
country that has reached high statt
of civilization. This can be accounted
for by the newness and sparce settle
ment of many parts of this country
the immense distance between cen
ters and points of trade, necessitatinl
such an immense amount of money
to construct good roads. This unfav
orable condition is rapidly disappear
ing, and it will not be long now un
til good roads will be the rule rather
than the exception. The people o.
this rich valley should be pioneers il
the movement. Nature has advan
tagged this valley in so many way
that it does seem that we could bull,
good roads.

BRIGHT CHILD.

BRlGh1 OdlLD'
1t happened at the christening. My dearest
wife Sophia ~
Had brought our baby to the front. We
called him Obadiah.
I was not partial to the name-in TACT, l
did not choose It;
Since twas a wealthy uncles choice' we
could not well refuse it.
As soon as we had breathed the name the
infants eyes flashed FIRE; -,
He gave a sudden yell and cried, III not
be OBADIAH =,
lust think Of going through the world
with such hideous LABEL
Zebedee or AhelH
at is cruel think to do, to blight my
whole existence,
To doom me when 1 am too small to offer
much resistance. .
How can you do much wickedness without
the least compunctionl
I'll go to court without delay and plead for
an injunction"
The clergyman looked quite abashed-I'm
sure my wife and did.
The christening could not proceed until the
babe subsidized.
We whispered in his ear: That name yoar
uncle dear proposes"
"And So" the babe replied, might be
Methusaleh or Moses.
"Stin, if he puts me in his will fro something
really handsome
I'll let him call me what he likes, Zerruoaoei
or Samson.
"And now" baby murmured sweet, Gust VIZ

How much it will be worth to him to call me

MINING HISTORY REPEATS
ITSELF.

A dispatch from Pierce City, Idaho,
says: miners from all sections are
rushing into the Pierce district and all
property in the vicinity of the new
strike is being located" This was in
substance the news that came from
Pierce City by pony express in the
spring of 1861. It's effect was to make
farmers of the Willamette Valley,
painters and blacksmiths of the towns
and villages-there were no cities in
Oregon then and workingmen in all
vocations, drop their implements, Sc
cure pack horses for the journey be-
yond The Dalles, board the river
steamers of the Oregon Navigation
Company and HE them to the Idaho
gold fields. Only placer mining was
possible with the equipment at hand.
The placers of the Pierce district
the mining centers of which were
Pierce City, Florence and Elk City
we're soon sluiced out and the disap-
,ointed host returned to it's abandoned
homes and business.
The rush to Idaho formed the basis
If the wealth Of the original stock
c-s of the Oregon Steam Naviga-
ton Company, which continues to the
present time and has greatly multi
piled in recent years. Some of the
most substantial fortunes of Portland
were then founded, including that Of
R. R. Thompson, J. C. Ainsworth, w.
S. Ladd and S. G. Reed. That was
nearly half century ago. The crush
to Idaho" as chronicled in 1s61-62,
exceeded in eagerness and volume any
mining rush in the Pacific Northwest
until the crush to the Klondyke" burst
upon an astonished world and dis
tanced anything in that or any other
similar movement in history since
that to acknowledgements.

SHOULD EMPLOY AMERICANS

Postmaster GCeenhow of Twin
Falls thought he was a real banker
last Saturday when the money order
business of that office was swelled
enormously through extraordinary
large remittances to their homes in
Greece. Many of these foreigners are
performing much of the manual labor
on the canals and reservoirs under
construction in this county. A paw
day last week gave them earnings
much ir excess of immediate needs
Through trusted agents sent to the
city from the points where employed,
these men RENTED to famous old
Athens, and its suburbs, an aggre-
gate of $3,7O0. This money is said
to have represented at least FIVE
eighths of their last months wages,
showing that the state of Idaho pro-
fits little by their presence, as COM
therefrom by local merchants if the
labor these men are performing were
being done by Americans, Irish,
Scandinavians or negroes.-Twin
Falls Times.
There will soon be started in Cald-
we'll work on the sewers and pave
ment. The amount to be expended in
improvements will aggregate upwards
of $500, 100000, of which amount prob
ably so per cent will be paid out for
unskilled labor. 1t is to the inter-
ests of the business men of Caldwell
that men be employed who will spend
their money in Caldwell and sur
rounding country. It is not neces-
sary or desirable that men be employ
ed who will squander their money in
drinking, gambling and high living.
But it is desirable that men of fam
lily, single men of good character who
will live decently and invest probably
part of their wages, be employed
This can be done if the matter is pre-.
scented to the contractors in the pro.
per manner. If it be done, Caldwell
will not only have the pavements but
also from 40 to so per cent OF the
money expended in this city. Il
Greeks, Japs or Cinnamon are EN-
ployed very little of the wages re
ceived by them will gain currency in
this city. 1t is business proposition
worth the attention of the CONNER
cial Club and the business men OF
Caldwell The experience of Twir
Falls teaches a lesson and it should
be needed.

fore. The trouble is chat north and
south Idaho are not acquainted. Each
section is carrying out an immense
work in it's development. The one
knows little or nothing of the other.
Easy communication would bring
about more knowledge, a better I'M
derstanding and better feeling be-
tween the north and the south.
The trip of the state officials was
well worth while from any standpoint.
The officials should have some knowl-
edge Of the actual conditions of a sec
ton in which it is SO greatly inter
ested. Good business sense and
policy would dictate as much.

INSUFFICIENT SALARIES

In all the talk and discussion of
schools, the one thing that attracts
immediate attention, is the fact that
the schools are failing of expectations.
The criticism of such men as Fredric
Buck, president of the San Francisco
State Normal School, on what he
terms the educational bankruptcy"
of the schools is simply the complaint
that practical men and women are not
identified with the schools. This is
to be expected. Practical men and
women will not devote their live to
a profession that offers such little re-
wardswards. We do not mean that
there are not practical men and wo-
men teaching school; but we do mean
that if there are those men and wo-
men are only doing so until some
thing better turns up. School teach
ing is a temporary make shift with
them. The women teach until mar
riage intervenes; the men teach un-
til they can get into something better.
Teaching holds out no reward that
would attract any reliant, self-relpect-
ing man or woman, unless perchance,
he or she has something of the spirit
of the martyr and missionary in
them. There are a few such, and
they, if their missionary zeal be not
so strong as to make them visionary,
are successful. OF teachers generally
there are few who enter the calling
with the idea of making pedagogy a
life study and life profession. The
result is that the. schools are not
what they. should be; and the teach.
ers are Indifferent, not to say incom,
petent, members of the noblest call
ing on earth.
The superintendent of the Caldwell
public schools should be a man big
enough to command a salary Of
100000 per year. Such man shoulC
receive that salary for experimenting
the Caldwell schools. We cannot get
five thousand dollar year men fol
twelve hundred, no more than WI
can expect to gather figs from thistles
Men are not built that way; they
soon learn their true worth. If they
are worth no more than twelve hun
bred, or less, they will teach as Ions
as the people will employ them. l:
they are worth more than twelve
hundred you will not find them teach
ing, school many years. You car

GREAT REVELATION

Governor Brady, Attorney-Ge
McDougall and Secretary of State
Landson, have just returned from a
trip through the states white pine
holdings on the Clearwater. river.
The state has in one body 10000
acres of timber land. OF this land
IS per cent is white pine. The state
officials made the trip in order to ac-
quaint themselves with the country
SO that in the future they can act
advisedly when matters affecting the
states timber lands, come up for Off
cial action. The minimum price that
can be asked for the timber is $1,000
per acre, and the officials are con-
WINGED that much of it will bring
$4,000 per acre. The people can
realize from this that Idaho has mil
lions of dollars of timber lands. All
that is needed is transportation facil-
tiles. The trip was a revelation to
the state officers. They had no idea
of the timber wealth held by the
state. Investigations always increase
the size and Importance of the natural
resources of Idaho. Up there in
north Idaho they have resources that
would support so times the entire
present population of Idaho. They
have mines producing millions, timber
worth millions, and farming lands
that are hardly touched. Lewiston,
Grangeville and other cities up there
think they amount to something now,
but they are not in it with what
they will be in five years from now
when Idaho will be really opened up.
The pressing need is transportation
facilities. Governor Brady is now
trying to interest eastern capital. The
trip convinced him that road filing
the gap between Evergreen and
Grangeville or another north and
south line would give Idaho such
an impetus as was never known be-

n111Rs W1LL COME HIGH.

Judge Fremont Wood announced
Thursday when passing sentence up
on E. F. Walton, former proprietor
of the Liberty club at Star, that in
the future operators of so-called clubs
organized for the purpose of evading
the liquor laws, convicted in the third
judicial district would receive the
maximum penalty under the statute,
a fine of $500, instead of 500, the
minimum imposed upon Walton.
Walton pleaded no funds and was
sentenced to the county Jail to serve
out at the rate of $500
per day acting upon the adj
vice of his counsel, w. B. DAY.
idon, who is preparing an application
for a writ of habeas corpus, which
will in all probability be filed in the
supreme court today seeking the re-
lease of Walton on the ground that
his Imprisonment is without authority
of law.
Judge Woods ruling in the Walton
case is in effect that the license law
of the state is being violated if liquor
is disposed of under any pretext
whatever in connection with a pre-
tended club which the members are
compelled to join before being served.

PAYETTE ROAD WILL EXTEND.

'PAYETTE ROAD WILL EXTEND.
The extension of the Payette VAL
ley railroad from New Plymouth to
Emmett, a. distance of 10 miles, is
now pronounced an assured thing.
The rails are already purchased and
negotiations are now being made for
the ties. The surveyors for the road
are at work. Bidders for doing the
grading are being looked up. 1t is
expected to have the road in oper-
alton by July, 1910.
1t is the intention of H. E. Dunn,
the vice president and general man
ager of the Payette railroad, to get
the work of grading the road from
New Plymouth to Emmett done by
Payette valley people, in order to as
far as possible keep the money re-
quired to build the road, at home.
This is very commendable in Manager
Dunn and shows the thoughtfulness
he has for the. section of country
through which his railroad passes
The work of grading the road is to
commence next week.
