Two Bits of Mood.

Importance cannot be reduced to a
matter Of size. The success of a piece
Of work may depend on a tiny detail.
Such is the case in regard to that
marvel of construction, the violin.
Rev. II. r. Haweis in his MY Musical
Life" tells of the care and labor ex-
pended on two little pieces of wood
which go to make up the perfect
whole. The sound bar is a strip of
pine wood running obliquely under the
left foot of the bridge A slight mis-
take in its position, looseness or in
equality or roughness of finish will
produce that hollow, teeth on edge
growl called wolf" 1t takes great
cunning and life of practical study
to know how long and how thick the
sound bar must be and exactly where
to place it in each instrument. The
sound post is a little pine prop, like a
short bit of cedar pencil. 1t is the
soul of the violin, and through it pours
all vibrations. Days and weeks are
spent in adjusting the tiny sound post.
Its position exhausts the patience of
the maker and makes the joy or the
misery of the player.

The Chair of Torture.

The most prominent building in the
ancient city Of Nuremburg is the cas-
tie. One of its two towers was used
for torture, the other served as a
prison. The castle also contained a
museum of horrors until 1t was pur-
chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and
Talbot. in whose possession these rel
les now lie. One of these was the
chair of torture 1t was very heavily
made and studded over the seat and
at the elbows with blunt topped spikes
To it the victim was tightly bound
and in a short time discomfort began
to manifest itself and In time became
unbearable. During its continuance
the torture was increased In several
ways by means Of wedges being pass
ed between the legs and screws being
applied to the thumbs until they be-
gan to bleed.

BASE BALL ENTHUSIASM

The base ball association met Sun
day in the J. G. White Offices and
perfected a permanent organization
H. L. Dickerson was elected mana
ger, secretary and treasurer and E.
&c. Diesem was elected temporary cap
tain, the players to elect their per-
manent field captain.
The boys have a good lineup, and
each one of the players thoroughly
understands the game, and have all
had experience on the diamond before
coming to Richfeld. They have full
outfit of gray uniform with red stock
ings, and will have large letter R,
in red, on the front of their shirts.
They are out practicing every even
ing, and it is safe to say that when
they go onto the diamond to play
ball, Richfield will have ball team
to be proud Of The boys should have
the liberal support of the business
men, as a good ball team does q great
deal in the way of advertising a
town.

There are avalanches Of different
kinds, but when the term avalanche
Is used It is generally supposed to ap-
ply to falls of great bodies Of snow or
ice, says Mr.. Edward Whymper in the
London Strand Magazine. One of the
first occasions Of this kind which at
tracted attention took place in 1920,
upon Mont Blanc, and it is commonly
called the Hamel accident. DR. Hamel.
a Russian, set out on Aug. 1S to go up
Mont Blanc, accompanied by two Eng
lishnen and eight guides. They had
assembled to a height of more than
$4,000 feet, with five guides in front,
who were cutting or making steps,
when all at once the snow above them
gave way, and the members of the
party were carried down a thousand
feet Or more over the slopes up which
they had toiled. Snow again broke
away above and more or less covered
them. Some of them struggled out,
but three of the leading guides were
hurled into crevasse and buried I'M
der an immense mass Of snow The
bodies of these men reappeared at the
foot of the glacier thirty years after
ward.

The Chinese samnans.

In Canton 100000 people spend their
whole existence in boats, which are
there called sampans. They are born
in them, live In them from infancy to
old age and finally die in them. Col
lectively these boats form a floating
suburb to the city proper, one of the
most amazing human settlements in
the world. Every creek is crammed
with them. Along the main banks of
the river they are huddled twenty deep
so close together that the covering
of mats appears continuous as far as
the eye can reach. And each sampan
houses a separate family with its own
big brazier lamp, which serves for
heating, lighting and cooking the even
ing meal. The scene when a really
serious conhagration once gets prop
err hold in the midst of these floating
wooden homes may be imagined. Es-
cape is impossible except for those
mOored at the outermost edge. In one
of these CONGREGATIONS over thou
sand persons lost their lives.

Mouinn on Short Notice

peculiar, frightened squeak. I got up
to see what looked like a huge mouse

saw that it was a mother mouse NOV

there was none left behind, for very

ment of long outstanding account: 81
have much pleasure in informing you
that l have placed you on the list of
my creditors, your number ON the roll

OLD LANDMARKS TORN DOWN
Hotel Alberta Passes Away Into Land
of Memory

The old Hotel Alberta is no more.
Beginning last week, the collection
of buildings that bore that name were
taken away, some of them bodily,
some of them dismembered and torn
limb from limb, but the whole corn
er was cleared some way or another,
and by now the ground where they
stood is as bare as it was when the
sage brush and the eagle saw moth
ing here but their own shadows. The
buildings have stood for two years,
housing a multitude Of people In that
time. 1t was like great family, the
Hotel Alberta; there were usually
from two to ten men in room, be-
cause of the great demand for ac-
comodations, and during the past
several months a room all to ones
lonesome was about as rare as rain
on the Numidian desert. There was
a time when Richfield wasn't as pros
porous as it is now; when the lew
pioneers had reason to look bluer
than the skies, and when the long,
sauat hotel buildings had more room
than anythisg else. But with the
coming of prosperity and water, the
old building was not good enough so
II had to go. A fine two-story mo-
dern building is to be erected in the
place of the old.

The Best Place to Eat in All Idaho

by the stories that are circulated by
the others who go out from its doors,
proves that there is nothing else any
better-if indeed the BEST" is not
strictly true of the Richfield hostelry.
The hotel has been open about a
week, during which its reputation
has travelled as fast and far as the
proverbial bad news. It's pleasant
to know that good news can travel
just as far as bad, and that it is more
true, and is so believed.
President Taft, with his aldermanis
girth and his smile that won't come
off, should be the ideal emblem for
the Richdeld hotel. Or a metamor-
phosed Bryan, with his cheerful OPP
timism and live-forever spirit of eter-
nal youth. But whatever the en-
blem, the hotel speaks for itself.

vance, however, is not taking out of
the consumer, the man who wears
wooden clothing; 1t is that much
saved to the grower and the manu-
facturer by cutting out the middle
man-for the price to the manufac-
tcrer is not increased, even by this
raise to the grower of about z cents
pound from last years prices. 1t
eliminates a great class of men who
take their profits without adding to
the value of the product, and are
practically parasites on society
Through the efforts of President
Fred Gooding, of the National Wool
growers Association, President Stan
ford of the Idaho state association,
Secretary Ballantyne and few 9TH
ers of the Idaho organization, this
state has provided larger proper
ton of the signers to the warehouse
contracts than any other state Some
Of the growers who sold their wool
outside, still paid their one cent
pound for storage fees-and still
come out ahead four to six cents
pound over last years prices, be-
cause of the association work. 1t is
believed that by the close of this sea-
son fully 80 per cent of all the wool
of Idaho will be contracted to the
warehouse, which has brought them
more than a million dollars clear
profit this year.
Idaho wool is of better quality this
year than usual, owing in part to the
favorable weather. 1t was not uni
formly good, but the sheep started |
in in good shape, and the got through |
rather better than usual. The wool
is heavier, with a smaller per cent |
of shrinkage, and while the num-
Der of sheep in the state has nos
been increased, the yields will be
close to 22,OOO,OOO pounds, With an
average price to be a trifle more than
20 cents a pound, this WA Be- on of
he greatest years Ia the history of
Idaho wool growing.

Word is being passed all along the
line, by the travelling men and others
who circulate out over the state, that
the new Richfield Hotel serves the
finest meals in the state of Idaho.
That's a great testimonial. The
Recorder has many vivid memories of
feasts serves by the cooks, in homes
and in hotels, of Idaho. Time was
when the Recorder was powerful
hungry, and tsrrapin and canvas
back duck and capons and asparagus
buds on toast we're not bit too
good They were forthcoming, in
generous quantities and in irreproach
able service, at the well filled tables
of Idaho; there are some mighty fine
cooks in the Gem State of the Noun
ttains. But a calm investigation of
the Hotel Richfield, in person and
