Tho elusive and tantalizingly at
t.octive county clerk bee we visited

here was dry, gray topped sage
VI, where the chipmunk chirped,
~ ground squirrel sat upright upon
~ mouth OF his subterranean resi-
dorco and the red gray coyote pur-
od the gray rabbit daily through
~ tall sage brush, and one or two
oru1o settlers cabins relieved the
interestingly silent monotony OF gray
desolation.
McGeo at that time occupied
rod rooted, two-story residence on
U mhall avenue in Caldwell and he,
.oootber with Strahorn and Other
caldwell boosters, was building
roiroad from Caldwell to the capital
0itv Of Boise. Boise at that time had
ohout 1900 people and Caldwell
ohout half that many and it began
to look like these two towns would

bonds of a railroad. The grade was
tbrown I'D to within miles of Boise
or the ties and rails were being un-
loaded in tho railroad yards at this

diculous thing. The Caldwell boost
or, ouarreled and MCGEE went up
tbn railroad about nine miles into the
heart of this gray desert we just
mentioned and laid out toWnsite
which he called Nampa. There was
much amusement at this seem ng
freak But MCGEE was a rustler and
Il, short time he got the Boise PEG
Mo who didn't love Caldwell much
IN those days, to help him connect
that city with tho main line and as a
result a stub road crude affair
was laid and then MCGEE chortled.
Later tho irr cation canals kissed
the fertile soil of Nampa and contig.
nous territory with the life giving
waters of the Boise river and the lane
smiled with bountiful crops OF hay
and grain and garden spots and thi
fruit trees flourished and the shade
trees grew. The future of Namp'
was assured. Gray desolation gave
way to green abundance.
But Nampa was yet an infant, al
incDient city struggling to be tn
metropolis of southwest Idaho-bu
jus struggling, when another thin

m Ter of S liver City struck it rio
in that camp and, when he had line

upon Nampa, gathered up bis ten

DEATH OF SON


STATEMENT OF MIR. H. q. BLCK-
NELL IN REGARD TO DEATH OF |
HIS son CLARENCE.
My attention has been called to the |
article in the Caldwell Daily News of
July list, 1910, relative to the death
OF my son, Clarence Bicknell. inl
which it is stated that the story of
the accident is told by the foreman as
fellows: The unfortunate young man
/ was standing on the top of the poles
| and Hagerman, one of the crew, was
| at the end of the car swinging the ak
to cut the last wire from one of the
standards. Young Bicknell stood over
him on the edge of the poles and was
warned back The wire was cut and
the poles held fast. Hagerman then
went to the other end of the car to
cut the last wire. In the meantime
young Bicknell was again warned to
stay away from the edge of the car
and grew somewhat impatient at the
warning. However, he retired and
Hagerman swung his ak on the last
wire. Just as the wire parted he
gave a sharp cry of apprehension as
he saw young Bicknell again stand
ing on the top of the outside pole
the one which would fall first. To
his horror, the pole Immediately shot
down carrying Bicknell with it and
several others followed, pinning the
young man to the EARTH"
On reading that statement l was
: surprised at the many facts and cir
cumstances left out and necessary tC
be known in order to form a fair anC
just opinion of the matter; and espec
tally surprised that at least two o
the most important things therein
stated were stated only in the form o
I conclusions, which conclusions If jus
. tilted by the facts on which they wer,

DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
How a Group Of Artists In Etaples
! Humbled the Naughty McNelIl
Whistler.

Tradition has it that once the late
Mr.. James A. AfcNeill Whistler was
fustered, and the story is told by an
artist who was visiting an exhibi-
ltion of his works in the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art. The painter
had cultivated an air of hauteur
as one of the adjuncts of his gentle
art of making enemies and affected
not to see or recognize even those of
his profession whom he intimately
knew.
He wandered into q cafe in
IEtaples some years ago, where he
found several of the artist colony of
the little French town playing bill
lizards. They had seen him coming
and had resolved to give the "Only
One" dose of his own medicine.
As he approached not an eye was
turned in his direction. He sat
down near the table, watched the
game and finally asked if he could
play.
j The artists stared at him as if he
were some intruder from another
land.

IMMUNE TO SNAKE POISON
lerot Showed No III Effects Of Viper
Bite-Case Of Pig and
Hedgehog.

The remarkable combats OF the
Indian mongoose with yenomous
snakes, in which it always comes off
victor, are well known. The fact
that it invariably survives has led
TO the suggestion that it is immune
TO snake poison. Other animals said
TO be immune are the pig and the
hedgehog.
With regard to the mongoose, in
deed, this immunity has been denied,
and if bitten it is said to fall vic
tim as rapidly as other animals. It
this be true, then it must owe its
victories to its wonderful agility in
avoiding the bites of the reptile.
However this may be, some recent
experiments of M. G.. Billiard show
that an animal of the dormouse
family must be added to the list of
the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot
and is said to fight fiercely with
vipers. M. Billiard injected large
doses Of viper's poison into the lerot
and found that no i'll effects fol-
lowed. On one occasion, again, one
of them was bitten badly on the eye
by a viper and no signs of poisoning
followed. There can, then, be no
doubt that the lerot is immune to
snake poison.

OLD WAYS OF PURIFYING WATER

] Over 1000 years ago an elaborate
system of filtration was established
by the Egyptians to purify the wa
ters of the Nile. In both Rome and
Athens hot water was drunk in
preference to cold by the small mi
nority who used water for drinking
purposes. Champier, writing in
1860, notes that the habit of drink
ing hot water was spreading among
all classes in France. "Some warm
it by holding over the fire; others
dip burning bread into it. Rich peo-
pie plunge bar of hot gold into
their water before drinking it, and
the less wealthy bar Of hot iron,
while the very poor are content to
warm their drink with live coal"
