These subjects are being discussed
almost everywhere and great many
schools are already doing excellent
work in these lines. Great changes
are being made in our courses of
study and their demands upon the
pupils. Some mistakes will be made

good. Watch these movements.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Ed Long is new pupil in our high
school.
Edward Long, son of j. d. Long,
of Fairview farm, is "a new pupil in
the eighth grade.
S. M. Howard, who recently moved
here from Kalispel, Montana, brought
US a nice bunch of boys-five in num-
Der. We welcome them, and predict
that they will do good work in their
respective rooms.
Our boys who are fond of debat-
ing are planning to contest for hon
ors in debate with neighboring in
situations, more especially with Cot
tonwood and Nez Perez. They have
about agreed upon a subject, THE
Value of Labor Organizations" and
will begin work at once. The work
will be directed by Supt. Cotton. still
the boys will doubtless call upon well
known and capable men in our COM
munity who are. interested in the
students and this kind of work.
We begin the new year with ten
provements. After considerable de-
lay chargeable to the railroads or
other corporations or firms, we now
have some very much needed window
shades for the fourth, sixth, seventh
and eighth rooms, and the telephone
has been placed in the superintend-
ent's office.
During the vacation every room
was thoroughly fumigated with the
machine made especially for school
school Hoard last year. The library
was given an extra heavy charge to
destroy whatever germs may have
gathered upon the books in constant
use and change of hands.
A letter from Congressman Ha-
mer states that he has designated
the Grangevi1le high school library
as one that shall be entitled to re
ceive special United States docu
ments and publications each week
A letter from the superintendent Of
public documents gives the condi
tions upon which we may take ad
vantage of the aforementioned ap
pointment. We believe we shall be-
able to meet the conditions and thu,
receive some valuable material FOL
the use of our pupils and also any
persons living in the vicinity wht
may be interested in the doings o
our national government.
Many of the states have recent.
held state teachers meetings q
which the leading educators hav'
given addresses and read papers up

Every town in southern Idaho is
trying to figure out that it is the real
gateway to the Jarbridge mining
camp.
The total assessment of the four
railroads in northern Idaho is &c.

an electric line from Wallace, Idaho,
to Spokane, Wash. Local men are
seeking a franchise for the road in

The legislative enactment of the
tenth session providing for the pay
ment of a grazing fee of five cents

declared unconstitutional by recent
decision of the supreme court.
For thirteen consecutive days the
thermometer has not risen above the
freezing point in Boise, nor has the

For a period of IL years no record
has equalled this.
Twin Falls business men are seek
ing to induce the Minedoka & South

IDAHO BETTER
THAN KANSAS
Comparison of Agricultural
Statistics of Two States
Gem State Leads.

Figures and facts that place Idaho
in a category of it's true worth are
contained in Talk with a Kansas
Farmer" sent out from American
Falls. Although the conversation APP
pears to be directed only to tillers of
the soil in Kansas 1t ought
to make good reading to every citi-
zen of the country. Read it:
"Mr. Kansas Farmer: The year
book of the department of agricul-
ture shows that during the past ten
years you harvested 1850 bushels
of wheat from your 100-acre field.
AT least this is the average for your
state, and Is a fair presumption.
During the same time Mr.. Idaho
Farmer has harvested 23,S4O bushels.
The same authority, which is the
highest in the land, says during the
ten years your wheat crops had a
farm value of $3.50. The crops of
your Idaho brother had a value of
$15,524 from the same acreage, a
trifling difference in his favor of &c.
565. Keep this difference in mind.
but must admit that it is worth
mentioning. Now from fifty acres
of oats, during tho same period,
you harvested 1880 bushels worth
$3,725, while Mr.. Idaho had 21,350
bushels worth 1895, a trifle of So
270 more than you received, or a
profit of $125.50 an acre above your
receipts. Why, man alive! This is
more than your land is worth, and
Mr.. Idaho could buy and stock your
farm with his profits-not gross re-
ceipts-on fifty acres of oats. Now
add these trifles and we have $12,-
$50 in Idaho's favor, after the crops
have been transported to market and
sold, or sold on the farm, in ten
years from $50 acres of your farm.
Each of you have ten acres left
Let's plant that to potatoes.
According to the same authority,
the Kansas farmer during ten years,
on ten acres of land has grown 7,740
bushels worth $4,952.40. From the
same acreage during the same time
the Idaho, farmer has taken 14,06O
bushels, worth $7,3S7.60, or $2,437.2O
in his favor. This makes a grand
total of net profits of the Idaho
farmer in ten years of $15,772s20.
Like to borrow some of it? Can't do
it-because he's buying more land.
'But he'll hire your boy to work
for him, and farm more land so that
he can make more money. Interest
is too slow for him, not to men
ton the doubling of his capital by
