A CLEVER INVENTION.
DR.. WALTER APPLIES FOR PATENT on
NEW WINDOW STOPS.

A new invention which will prove q
boon to the housekeeper and those
desiring plenty of ventilation has been
devised by DR.. J.. f. Walter. He has
applied for a patent and as soon as
same has been approved and granted
viii prepare to manufacture same and
place them on the market
1t is a simple contrivance which
can be attached to any window. The
old stop is taken out and his new one
replaced which permits the windows
being swung into the room where it
can be very conveniently washed on
the outside This new stop will make
it unnecessary for the housekeeper to
go outside of the house and mount a
tall step ladder in order to clean her
windows, but by simply opening the
stop the window is swung on small
hinges and laid fiat on the casing in
most convenient position.
For those desiring plenty of ventila-
tion the windows from both top and
bottom may be either taken out en-
tirely or tipped out on the casing
which will give benefit of the full
opening in the casing. This feature
will appeal to many who desire ven.
tilation.
DR.. Walter intends to make tho
stops very popular by putting then
on the market at very narrow mar
gin of profit. He is of the opinion
that if the price is reasonable anC
the profit small many people will
put them through the entire house
where, otherwise, only limited sal,
would result.
He has the model on display in hi
Office which has attracted considerable
attention and called forth words @
praise for its simplicity and desir
ability

new FEATURES FOR
ELMORE COUNTY FAIR
Representatives Leaves For the Coast to
Secure High Glass Attractions
and Features

The Elmore County Fair is pro-
crossing nicely, and is far in advance
Of what it has been in former years
at this time.
The Race track has been put in good
shape and now only requires the fin
ishing touches the week before the
fair opens.
The grounds have been freed from
weeds and trash and will be in a
clean and splendid condition when the
fair opens.
No matter what the weather will
be this year all exhibits will be as
safe from rain and dust as if they
were at home.
Every one who has been seen and
interviewed on the fair are willing
and ready to do all that they possibly
can to make the fair success.
This is as it should be, no fair on
other enterprise can be a success in
any community unless the citizens Of
that community get behind it anc
boost. The officers may outline the
plans and work consistently and con
stantly, but unless the patrons anC
exhibitors take an interest in it anc
support it to a finish it can not be
made credit to that section in which
it is held.

A BUSY MAN.
SEYMOUR BELL VISITS THE CITY ON VAR
IOUs BUSINESS MATTERS.

When Seymour Bell hits the city
there is something doing every min
ute from the time he lands until he
leaves. He transacts more business
and attends to more important ques-
tions during his stay than the average
man has to handle in month of or
binary business affairs. When one
considers the immense business in
terests Mr.. Bell represents, some idea
can be gained of the work he has in
charge. In addition to four of the
largest saw mills on the coast his
company is now building another
large plant down in California Mr.
Bell attends to the management Of
all these matters and there is never a
slip in the great business machine so
perfect is his system of handling large
affairs.
This time he came to the city to
close out the business of the Mountain
Home Electric works and in an in
credibly short time he had checked
over the plant and all supplies be-
sides auditing the accounts with Mr..
Poppleton, representing the new COM
pany, and visiting with his many
friends about the city
1t is with regret that MI Bell
gives up this interest in the city but
it is to be hoped that other matters
will come forward in the future to
demand much of his time here. The
plant was sold because for lack of
Mr.. Bells time to devote to it and
also because it is entirely out of his
line He stated that his company was
confning itself to dealings in land
and lumber and could not give these
side lines the attention they demanded.
He has left the plant in good hands
at any rate.

She has noticably improved and hopes
are entertained for her recovery. She
was very low on her return and grave
fears were entertained for her re-
covery, but home surroundings and
influences are accomplishing what
medical skill failed. Her many friends
are glad to know of the improvement.

HOLDS LAW VALID.
JUDGE WOOD PASSES ON LOCAL OPTION
LAW.

Judge Fremont Wood of the Third
Judicial District has passed upon the
validity of the local option law, after
considering the issues raised by an
appeal from the order Of the Board
of County Commissioners of Ada
County fixing the date for the local
option election. In his decision Judge
Wood says:
Il am clearly Of the opinion that
the decision in Knight VS.. Trigg does
not control and in fact furnishes lit
tie if any light upon this question. In
Knight VS.. Trige, the supreme court
had before it for consideration a
statute that was fatally defective, up
on several vital and essential points
where the act here involved is per-
feet and complete.
my conclusion is that the act in
question is not so defective, if defec-
tive at all, as to violate any Of the
provisions Of the constitution or to
prevent its execution by fair and
reasonable judicial construction. The
supreme court, however, may conclude
otherwise. If so, the appellant here
will be injured only to the extent OF
his proportionate share Of the taxes
of the county required to meet the
expense Of registration and election
held Hereunder"
His Interpretation Of the statute
is that the general election laws Of
the state can be applied in affordinf
the necessary machinery for a loca
option election where no special pro
vision is made; book for registra
tion open simultaneously with the is
suance Of the call by the Board o.
county commissioners; Saturdays arr
the days when the registrars must b.
in their Offices and registration mus
end on the Saturday last preceding
the date of election.

1t all depends upon the support
given this factory another season by
the farmers of this section in the way
of increased acreage Of beets-
This season has been one of al
most total failure for beet crop, which
has been due to number Of reasons.
There has been a blight here this
year caused by a small white fly that
has been one serious cause of fail
ure 1t is a condition that has struck
other sugar beet sections and the
blight is one that is familiar to sugar
beet raisers in other sections. 1t does
not affect them more than one year
at time in any particular section
and in fact has not been known to
occur anywhere more than the one
season.
BREAK IN CANAL.
In addition to this blight the very
bad spring and the succeeding dry
time with the break in the Riden-
baugh canal under which most of
best acreage has been this season, has
caused such a very bad condition that
there will be less than 10000 tons
The tonnage will not be sufficient to
justify the factory to open cam.
paign. What beets are raised will be
sent to Sugar City.
The factory not running means
that there will be no cattle fed here
this year and the market afforded foi
hay will be lost this season.
Altogether the closing of the fac
tory means hard blow to the com.
munity and a persistent effort vii
be made to have a large acreage foi
next year to revive the industry.

Old Favorites

Katie Lee and willie Gray.

Two brown heads with tossing curls,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew,
Two eyes black and two eyes blue:
Little boy and girl were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They were standing where a brook.
Bending like a shepherds crook,
Flashed it's silver, and thick ranks
or green willow fringed the banks;
Half In thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They had cheeks like cherries red;
He was taller-'most head;
She, with arms like wreaths of snow,
Swung basket to and fro;
AS she loitered, half in play,
Chattering to Willie Gray.
Pretty Katie" Willie said
And there came a dash Of red
Through the brownness Of his cheek
Boys are strong and girls are weak.
And I'll carry, so l will,
Katie's basket up the hill"
Katie answered. with a laugh,
You shall carry only half"
And then, tossing back her curls,
Boys are weak as we'll as girls"
Do you think that Katie guesses
Half the wisdom she expressed?
Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts don't change much, after all;
And when, long years from that day,

Bending like a shepherds crook

While again dash of red ...--

Life Is but slippery steep, q
Hung with shadows cold and deep.

Walk beside me without fear.
May carry, If 1 will,
All your burdens up the hill?"
And she answered with laugh.

That she swung in years agone;

And has-rockers at the side!

SERMONS AND SLEEP.
A Comforting Theory in Regard to
Doing In Church.

A Comforting Theory in Regard to
Dozing in Church.
The French scientists are the most
consoling people in the world. They
are always working out some explana.
ton that affords consolation. Here
comes one with theory about sleep.
ing in churches that will be relief to
both pastor annd sleeper.
According to this French psycholo-
gist's theory, persons are inclined to
'doze" In church because of the de-
vout attention they pay to the services.
I'm endeavoring to fix every word In
their minds they put themselves into a
sort OF trance. 1t Is about the same as
what is called self-hypnotism, and the
more closely one follows the minister
the more likely he Is tI find himself
unable to remain awake.
For a good many years the pert par
agraphers have had great deal to say
about church sleepers, and usually the
preacher has gotten the worst Of the
argument. All manner Of devices have
been suggested by the humorists as
aids to lengthy sermons, even to the
placing of electric needles n the cush-
ions to awaken the sleepers at the pres
sure OF button by the minister. But
now that the inclination to slumber in
church has been accounted for upon
purely scientific grounds, the remedy
for the evil will probably be abated In
a practical way-perhaps by encourag
ing the employment of pastors who are
Incapable of holding ones attention at
all.-Dayton News.
