Why AMERICAN FALLS GROWS.
R. [. Tucker Tells Spokane Chronicle
Few of the Reasons.

TIE ambitious town Of American
Falls. sometimes called the Spokane
Of Idaho, is coming rapidly 70 the
front. according 70 report brought
from there BY R. L. Tucker. q former
resident Of Spokane. who isnow located
in that place. says the Chronicle Of
Spokane, Washington.
Situated in the extreme southeastern
part Of the state, where the main line
of the Short Line crosses Snake river,
is the town which he believes is destined
to become one the leading cities of
Idaho.
Snake river Is about 1900 feet wide
at this point. carries large volume Of
water and has q fall OF So feet, from
which 70, 900 horse power can be devel-
oped. Because Of the great width
of the river and the fact that large
amount Of water from warm springs
comes into it above the falls, the river
never freezes over here, thus making
conditions ideal for the development
of power.
Very attractive offers are being
made to manufacturing concerns in the
way OF free sites, free power for one
year and cheap power afterwards, by
the Idaho Consolidated Power company,
which owns two plants now operating
I there, " states Mr. Tucker.

which for the past four years has been

Enormous yields of wheat. barley,

Fine Potatoes.

D. S. Mcqueen brought in dozen
Early Ohio potatoes. Wednesday, which
averaged nine ounces in weight, the
largest weighing ten ounces. They
were grown on bottom land. but have
had no irrigation. They are almost
large enough now for ideal commercial
use. His success should stimulate
others in growing potatoes. This sec
ton produces the ideal potato, and
potatoes will pay two or three times as
much as wheat.

HISTORIC HOLIDAY NO MORE
ST. Distaffs Day, Celebrated by Our
Grandmothers, Forgotten by
This Generation.

Our grandmammas remembered,
but most of us have forgotten . his
toric holiday which until recent de-
cades was celebrated in January. 1t
is St. Distaf's day, "the morrow
after Twelfth day" and it falls on
January :. In DAYS of old, when
knights were bold, all ordinary
household cares save cooking were
pitt aside al Christmas for II DAYS.
High revcl was held in the interval,
but on January the women Of
every home returned to their or
binary pursuits. In those times, the
distatr was the symbol of feminin;ty.
\ man who wished to say he had in
herited property or trait through
his mother would say he got it from
the distaff side Of the house" Al
unmarried women were called spin
sters, a name that has stuck to this
day. and women Of all degrees, when
visiting neighbors, carried their dis
tails. SO it was that the day on
which women took up their regular
occupations, chief of which was
spinning, was dedicated to st. Dis
taft, and until modern machinery
usurped the place of the spinning
wheel the holiday was kept faith
fully.

VASES IN PARIS.

To have pairs of vases with flow
ers arranged as nearly alike as pos
sible is the latest fad in smart house
holds. These appear in all possible
places, and each room is kept to a
color scheme. A charming combina-
ton, when white and green are de-
sired, is that of climbing white jas
mine, the fragile japanese narcissus
and lilies-of-the-valley. The jasmine
vine has most exquisite foliage that
shows many tender shades, and the
starlike flower is deIiciously fragrant,
but not oyerpowering.

Little Rock, March I5.-Special.

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sWeeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning OF butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
nation Of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-a bsolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter fsings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestlon, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.

of II to II.
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.


Before one of the largest crowds
ever assembled to witness an ath-
letic game in this city the Arkan-
sas State Normal School girls bas-
ketball team went down in defeat to
the Little Rock High School team
in this city Saturday. The Nor
NAL girls had the game cinched at
the end of the first half, the score
beirg IS to 10 in their favor, but
in the second half the visitors com
pletely outplayed the local am,
coming out victorious by the score
of p to II. The Little Rock team
had the best of the Normal team
in experience. some of their play
ers having been on the team for
two years. This is the first Sc son
that any member Of the Normal
team had played the game, and in
tight places lacked the experience
of their opponents.
Following is the line up of the
teams.

THE GANN BILL.

We seriously doubt if one out OF
ten of the trenzied prohibitionists
who have been bowling for the
passage of the Gam bill! and hiss
ing those in the Legislature who
dared oppose it has ever read the
bill.
As friend of prohibition, we
should regard the passage of the
Gam bill in its present form as
the most serious blow that temper
ance ever suffered in the state, and
If the lower house ConCurS III the
senate amendment to submit the
bill to a vote of the people, we
shall be compelled to oppose its
adoption.
Ninety-nine per cent of the area
of Arkansas is now dry" by local
option or special legislation. Ninety
Eve per cent of the people of Ark
ansas are living in territory where
Intoxicating liquor of any character
OF quantity may not be legally sold.
The Gam bill will close the saloon
in this one per cent of the territory
of Arkansas, inhabited by five per
cent of the people of the state. 1t
probably will do that.
But the Gam bill will permit
every drug store throughout the
state to sell alcohol in any quantity
not to exceed one-half pint, to any
person who provides himself with
physicians prescription calling
for the same. One-half pint OF
pure alcohol is sufficient quant-
ty TO produce intoXication IN the

are

The Daily Edition on Saturday
completed the first six months Of
! its existence. AS many friends
have expressed all interest in its
success, it maybe well at this time
to talk little Of its past and its
prospects for the future.
On the whole the Daily has
been selt-supporting. 1t has not
vet. however, reached the point Of
paying any appreciable profit to
the publisher. Small aud insight
icant though it may appear to the
average reader, the expense and
labor in producing it is much
greater than one would suppose.
Our city subscription list and the
interest manifested in the paper by
the local readers are almost all we
could desire. We believe that nine
out Of ten white people in Conway
are readers of the Daily Edition.
Our list of county subscribers, how
ever, has not grown to the proper
tons that we anticipated. This is
doubtless due to the fact that under
the present mail system, the paper
is from "a to 4S hours old before it
can reach a majority of the people
living outside of Conway.
1t is upon the advertising that a
paper must depend for its support.
The Daily's advertising patronage
has not been all we hoped for.
During the two months following
Christmas but little space was
used by our local advestisers. Of
late, however, this condition has
greatly improved.
With the six months experience
behind us and the present outlook
before US, we believe that the
Daily Edition is permanent IN
stitution III Conway. We are vain
enough to believe that the paper
has already been worth something
to our little city. But we do not
solicit patronage upon that ground.
/ We want everyone in Conway who
