The challenge has been made for
years that the st. Cloud country is abb
solutely the healthiest in the United
States, and it seems to me that this
claim is well supported There are
people living there from all parts of
the United States and Europe Some
of them have been there ever since the
war, some for 25 years ane some only
a few years. There are Englishmen,
Scotchmen, the inevitable Irishman and
German, with d few Italians. There are
people from the mountains of Georgia
and from the prairies or Illinois and
Iowa. Every one of them bears con-
slant and earnest testimony that the
climate Is far the healthiest that he
has ever known, that he has suffered
less from sickness than in any other
place he has ever been; that not only
are the Winters delightfully."- mild, but
the Summers are cooler than elsewhere.

had orders to go to Boise Cit,

Death In Drinking Cups.
A Boston special says:

A Boston special says:
The state board of health is
preparing to send out to all
school boards and school COM
mittees an illustrated pamphlet,
entitled, Death in School Drink
ing Cups" which deserves their
earnest consideration. Alvin
Dawson, NJ. S., Phi. D., profes-
sor of biology in Lafayette col
lege, is the author of the essay,
which originally appeared in the
Technical Word magazine.
In clear and simple terms DR..
Dawson describes experiments
which proved that the germs OF
grippe, pneumonia, diphtheria,
tonsilitis, tuberculosis and other
diseases are conveyed by COM
mon drinking cups; and he gives
good reasons for his conclusion,
which the state board thus urges
upon the school authorities, that
public safety requires that the
individual cups be used or thai
sanitary drinking fountains bs
provided.

pulled off in Challis last We'd
nesday afternoon, between Alex.
Burnett and Earl K. Dodge, and
this is why Alex. had an extra
turkey for Thanksgiving. The
wager was turkey against tur-
key. Earl imagines that he is
quite speedy in almost every
thing, and especially in foot
racing. So be tackles Alex for
a 1OO-yard dash. Alex. says to
him: You can't rum can run
away from you" And the bel
was made. Each runner strip
ped down for running, and they
toed the mark. Judges wert
appointed, and at the crack of {
pistol they started. Alex. raj

and ran south, while Earl wa
making his best time running il
an opposite direction. The tur
keys we're given to Alex. for b
had won on the stipulations tina
were agreed upon, viz: He ha'

Earl finished the 100 yards, an
may be running yet, for all "
know, but it's certain that b
will not run another foot race o
the same proposition.

Miss Lucille Smutz.
In spite of the rain a very
large audience-probably $50
people-were in attendance. and
the net proceeds were over $40.
Every number on the program
was excellent and received
most hearty applause, and each
one was encored back on the
stage.
The stage decorations were
most beautiful, and was so ar
ranged as to make the different
scenes more real. The first on
the program was the Awaken

ton of Mrs. NJ. NJ. Sweet; then
came song by Leila Buster;M Miss
Smutz then gave a recitation;

To Boise 6itu
No Doubt But The p. & G. Railroad
10 Headed for Boise.

E. F. VanValkenberg. who re-
turned recently from an extend
ed trip through the Salmon river
country, in an interview yester-
day stated that the railroad work
in that section of the State was
making wonderful strides and
had already resulted in an un-
precedented boom in real estate
in Salmon City. The roadbed,
he said, was completed from
Armstead. Montana, to Junction,
Idaho. Half the distance, or 35
miles, from Armsted to Junction
was laid with O-pound steel rails
of the finest quality, which fact
has created the impression gen.
orally that the line is being con-
structed by the Hill outfit as part
of through line to the Pacific
coast, the terminus to be either
at Coos Bay or SanFrancisco.
"a big force of graders" said
M. VanValkenberg, with the
latest and best equipment for
their work is engaged in grad
ing between Junction and Sal
mon City. The name on the cars
being used in the work is The
Western Construction company.
1t is confidently believed tha'
the line will be running by tn
first of the year. There is {
great deal of surmise as to wha
, line it is, but the general opin
ion leans toward It's being
through line laid as an extension
to the Hill system. This opin
T, ion is strengthened by the qua
, ity of work that is being don
and the number of men an
teams employed. Part of tn
! line, it is believed, will folio
the Salmon river to Salmon Cit
and from thence on to Grangt
Vile, to connect with the Nortl
eru Pacific at that point.
"A line has also been locate
after several preliminary su
veys up the Salmon river for
distance of about 80 miles. JUDI
ling from the character of tt
survey and the care taken in S
curing an easy grade and
straight a line as possible, it
believed it will pass through Il
= Sawtooth range and on to Il
Boise valley, passing throuf
the Boise valley on to the Pat
~ 6c coast, with either San Fra
i cisco or Coos Bay as the obje
IL tive point. statesman.
