The Irvine plant at the penitentiary

The Irvine plant at the penitentiary
turned into the state treasury $40, 1888
in July While it is not likely the
receipts for this, first years opera
ton, will show any profit, the product
is making good, and before another
year has closed it is probable that
the plant will pay not only all expen-
SEES Of operation, but return a profit
to the state beside.

young Turkey leaders have openly
brought the contention to legal test
and won the victory. 1t is a salutary
lesson to those Turks who still hold
to the old ideas. The internal state
Of affairs leaves much to be desired.
1t is a big task, for instance, to de-
velop trustworthy police organiza
ton but this is being effected, though
slowly. The new element controls
the best sentiment of majority Of
the people, and the leaders, both civil
and military, acknowledge their in
debtedness to the Christian schools
and colleges, planted by missionaries
of the American board who have
helped to create the right kind of
sentiment. Chancellor Won Buelow
says that the Turkish revolution pos
sesses dignity which inspires the
respect of the whole civilized world.

ASK NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICT.

The state legislature this winter
will be asked to pass bill to relieve
the First judicial district and create
two new districts with Shoshone
county judicial district by itself and
Bonner and Kootenai counties en-
bracing another district. The move
ment is having it's origin in Shoshone
county which with its great amount
of mining litigation claims it should
have district by itself. Kootenai
and Bonner counties have felt the
want Of three terms a year instead
of two as would be possible with the
cutting off of Shoshone. 1t has been
apparent for the past few years that
the First district is too over
crowded with work and that it has
become too large for the proper ac-
celebration of court business In case
the bill passes 1t will be up to Cow
ernor Brady to appoint a district
judge in the new district which will
be embraced in Bonner and Kootenai
counties and already lightning rods
are up.

THE GREATEST EVIL

In connection with eye trouble is due
to the fact that the faulty organ does
not, generally betray itself until the
damage has made serious Roadway.
The eyes are great deceivers, they,
very often, look well when they are
not--other wise people would not
suffer from UNCONSCIOUS eye
strain. If the defect was plainly seen
OF felt In this rush and work-a-day
world 1t is serious mistake to me-
glect the eyes Ito neglect having
them examined at least once every

self. No person can be their best

eye-strain is sapping their vital.

A SIGNAL VICTORY.

An instructive incident connected
/ with the new regime in Turkey is
told in private letter from DR.. j. K.
Greene Of Constantinople, concern
ing a judicial proceeding that city.
One of the preachers attached to the
great mosque of Mohammed the
/ Conqueror (1453) began in one of
i his sermons to denounce the new
order of things. He maintained that
their sacred law must be upheld, that
/ the equality of Mohammedans with
''infidels" could not be tolerated and
that their women must be yelled and
/ secluded as formerly. Then with a
body of 200 or 800 men, all having
white muslin bound around their
heads to show that they belonged to
a religious order, he marched to the
sultan's palace. Imagine their sur
prise and dismay when his majesty
appeared at the window, heard what
their leader had to say, then babe
them be quiet! On their way back
to Stamboul the crowd stopped the
carriages of some of the ministers,
voiced the same opposition to the new
regime and received substantially the
same command to hold their tongues.
Finally the preacher and one of his
ringleaders were quietly arrested,
taken to prison and in due time
brought to trial, on the charge of try
ing to overthrow the government.
The chief prisoner claimed that his
object was not revolutionary, that he
was simply trying to uphold the
supremacy of the Mohammedan law.
He also claimed that he had seen vi
sions of saints and was inspired,
which led his counsel to enter plea
Of Insanity. Cone cannot help won
dering IL this Turkish lawyer had
read about certain trials in our
American courts.) Immediately the
court ordered an examination by sew
eral doctors who pronounced the man
perfectly sane. He and his associate
were therefore judged guilty Of trea-
son and sentenced to death. The
record Of the trial was given in all |
the Turkish papers with fitting COM
ments.
Such q trial and condemnation was
never Witnessed in Constantinople.
DIR. Greene adds that this is the
first public contest between the old |
Mohammedan spirit and the new lib
eral Ottoman sentiment, but the

IDAHO WHEAT MAKES GOOD
SHOWING.

While samples of wheat from
Idaho exhibited at the National Corn
exposition in Omaha last December,
did not get into the prize winning
classes, they did make showing
4 which gives assurance that they will
win at the 1909 exposition when the
classifications are adjusted as prom
ised by the management, of the big
show. Idaho oats scored high in COM
petition with oats of the world and
the scores given wheat after a mill
ing lest are high.
Samples Of wheat grown by L. M.
Birch of Roswell, j. w. Hartman and
A. w. Andrew of Parma, Fitzpatrick
& Hurt and Edgar Dilley of Roswell,
scored from 60 to rs points out OF a
possible hundred, against wheats
adapted to making light bread flour
from Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas,
South Dakota, North Dakota Wis
consin and Illinois.
In scoring this wheat the judges
had 1t tested in Minneapolis labora-
tories, then milled and baked under
the direction of one OF the largest
milling companies of the United
States. Points were awarded as fol-
lows: Yield of flour, 20 points; tex
ture and color of loaf is points; size
Of loaf 80 points, absorption. 10.
points; soundness and flavor, IS
points, per cent and quality Of
gluton, 10 points.
With only the five samples entered
from Idaho, 1t can scarcely be said
the wheats of this state were well
represented, and yet those sent it
made a creditable showing when it
was considered the highest score was
so and was awarded to sample
from Nebraska. 1t was the first
year for small grains to receive recog-
milton at big agricultural show but

HIS LoNe-DELAYED PROPOSAL.
French Story CT Note In Bouquet That
Was for Years Unanswered.

One Of the longest delayed proposals
en- record Is related in a French story
Of shy young subaltern who was or
dered away to the wars. Not daring
to speak, he sent nosegay of yellow
:cJcs to the girl he loved, with a little
ncte inside b.; 95ing her, If she re-
turned his love, to wear one of the
flowers in her breast that night at the
ball. She appeared WITHOUT it, and he
went away broken-hearted. .,
Years afterward, when he was
lame old general, he again met his
old love, now white-haired widow:
One day his cid sweetheart gently
asked him why he had never married.
Madam" he answered somewhat
sternly, you ought to know best. If
you had not refused to answer that
note in the bouquet of yellow roses
might have been happier man." THE
note In the bouquet?" she repeated
growing pale.
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from drawer a shriveled bouquet
Of what had been yellow roses, among
whose leafless stalks lurked scrap of
paper yellow with age. See! never
had your note" she said, holding the
bouquet up. "If ! had / would not have
answered 1t as you fancied." Then
answer It now" said the gallant old
soldier. And the long delayed pro-
posal was accepted at last.
