that these cities have discovered that police women are needed in the busi- ness of maintaining order and solv- ing problems of order in the large cities. The old theory that men are the criminals and must be policed by men is giving way before the fact that there do appear from time to time women criminals, and especially be- fore the fact that women can be saved before crime fixes them permanently in it's possession.
 In Portland there is a woman on the police force who has done efficient work in connection with the Young Women's Christian association - an. other vital factor in large towns in the ordering of the city. She had also accomplished much as probation off, cer. Having served her term in these, the woman was ready when Portland decided that 1t required police wom. an. She is a regular member of the department, with the same recogni- ton shown to men. In Seattle there is also a police woman, although her appointment is temporary-during the Alaska-Yukon exposition In all prob. ability, however, Seattle will find this one police woman of such value that she will be retained.

Cardboard Takes Qualities of Metal

Cardboard Takes Qualities of Metal.
 An eighth-inch disk of cardboard re- volved on the shaft of an electric mo- tor of highest speed gets stiff, owing to the rotary tension which makes it behave like metal. and it can no long CT be bent. If struck with a hammer a sound emits like that from bronze It easily saws cigar box in two, similarly as disk of soft iron, when rapidly rotated cuts through heavy armor plate.

Only three were killed last year by British whalers, and the whales on the Newfoundland side were also disappearing.
 At the present time certain Norwe- gian whaling companies had been ac- lively engaged in killing of as fast as they could what remained of the various kinds of whales. These were killed chiefly for their blubber. but the economy of the whale factories riv- aled that of the Chicago pork packers.

IN Idaho. The Snake River at this point
nows nearly north. The walls OF the great

A number OF Boise investors, at
least IL in number have agreed to
go in and build several stores, a bank,
and other buildings, at once; they
have investigated the possibilities un-
til they are convinced that it offers
a golden opportunity for the business
man and the investor. No other
town in all the history of the Irrigat-
ed West can show such an array of

sGOODING.

Gooding has no time to say unkind
things about her neighbors. The
resources surrounding the city are
so great and their development is
keeping her citizens SO busy that
they have no time to get jealous of
their neighbors who also have their
full share of good things in the way
of inducements and opportunities for
making towns.
Gooding is but little over year
old at present and it is already crowd
ing the 1000 mark. It was incor-
porated as a village at the April
meeting Of the Lincoln county COM
missioners, 1908. At that time it
just had enough population to entit1e
it to be incorporated as a village.
Today it has large number Of fine
residences and substantial business
houses in proportion to it's size than
any other city in Idaho. It has a
fine system of water works, a sewer
system is to be built this summer, the
probabilities are that Main street will
be paved for blocks. 1t has a well
organized fire department and n fine
chemical engine and hook and lad
der outfit.
The Lincoln Inn is perhaps the fin
est hosiery in the entire west. and
the plant of the Idaho L .ader is the
finest and pest print shop in the
state of Idaho. The Leader issued
its first number on Christmas day,
1908, and it is now employing Q
force of ten men, all Of whom are
experts in their line.
The various views of Gooding in
this issue are given to illustrate some
thing of the rapid growth of the
town. Governor Gooding says IT am
going to make great city Of Good
ing" and at the present outlook he
will succeed. He has gathered
around him as great a bunch of hust-
lers, and rustling, straightforward,
clean business men in the new citi-
zens of the town as were ever brought
together in any community
The Gooding Commercial club is
an organization Of which any city
may well be proud. It has its own
club rooms and welcomes strangers
to it's comforts. Gooding is making
good.
