IN every instance the reduction in
rates complained of were made and
IN some Instances amounted to near
~ tllty per cent. In what is known
as the Reno case, class and COM
modify rates from Sacramento nv
the Southern Pacific, between Reno
and Cecil Junction, Utah, were de-
clared excessive and reasonable
rates We're prescribed. In what is
known as the Portland back-hauP
case the commission decided that
freight rates from Seattle. Tacoma
and Portland to points in Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Montana
are excessive,
In the Spokane rate case the com
mission decided that the present
freight rates are excessive and lust
and reasonable rates on both class
and commodity freight were estab-
llshed for the future. The present
class rates between Utah common
points and Mississippi and Missouri
river transfer points were also found
excessive and they were ordered to
be reduced about IS per cent.
On complaint of the railroad com
mission of Nevada, the interstate
commerce commission held that class
rates from eastern defined territory
to points in Nevada were unreason-
able and ordered that rates mater
tally lower be put into effect by the
carriers

American Falls Will Receive Much
Attention Over the Country.

Attention over the Country.
1t seems pretty well settled that
the place where the flag was first
raised in Idaho is to hC converted

just above American Falls and will
raise the water level seventy feet,
backing it nearly to Blackfoot. 1t
will convert Fort Hall bottoms into
deep water, as well as the Tilden
bottoms, will make Danielson creek
q port fer Springfield townsite, and
Thorn Springs a port of entry for
the city of Pingree.
The fine pea gravel of Gold Point
can be transported by steamer TO the
various cities along the lake shore
for making cement blocks and pave
mert, and if there are deposits of
good building sand or fine cement
gravel in the low butte near Rich or
in airy OF the bluffs along the lake
shore, the lucky fellows who locate
them and obtain title will be able to
furnish material to help build the
cities on the artificial stone plans
now coming into use.
1t is said that it will require more
cement for the construction of this
dam than any other work yet under
taken in the history of irrigation and
more than the largest cement works
have ever furnished.
Next Thursday notable party of
capitalists will arrive from Chicago
to look over project whose base of

The party will be headed by Judge
Watson of Chicago, the millionaire

involve such vast sums There will
he fifteen men in the party and they
give their final approval to the con-
struction of electric lines, the first
of which will be from American
Falls via Rockland to Malad, Idaho,
it being the plan to connect the iso-
lated county seat with its empire
American Falls will be the center

Mary Franklin's Home Burned.

The Mary Franklin house was dis
covered to be on fire Wednesday
at 1O:3O. The building was badly
damaged and with the exception of
the brick portion is a total loss.
The fire originated in the kitchen
Mrs. Franklin had just renewed the
kitchen fire and went into the yard
and short time after her atten-
ton was called to the fire by some
neighbors. The loss to her is quite
serious, and many thought she was
in the house for a time. The de-
partment arrived promptly and it
was through their efforts that an
adjoining building was saved.

Governor Brady Tells just Where
He Stands on Liquor Question.

Governor Brady has just return
ed from a trip to the northern part
of the state and upon his return sale
Il was not on a political mission
but I would not be fairly expressing
myself if l did not say that I was

in the north. | think any fair
minded man who understands the sill
uation and is acquainted with con-
ditions in the north six counties,
will admit that I will come down
from the north with a majority over
all competitors.
Il observe that Lewiston dis
patch as usual attempts to place me
on record as tryin gto form a plat
form for my party. Their efforts
will be in vain for everybody knows
that | am in favor of closing the
doors of every saloon in our state,
and the men who know my political
record know that l do not feel that

no hesitation in saying that | will
stand on the platform of my party,
so long as it does not favor the

course, cannot arise but if it should
arise | want to say just as frankly
that if nominated and such a plat
form was rendered | would decline
the nomination as candidate. l am
for temperance and against the sa-

derstood that it is far the temper

There seems to be a great deal
of misunderstanding about the term

means that the people have been
given the legal right to vote on the

my two hands and felt as if could

itching had gone to my chest and dur
ing that day it spread all over my
body. was red and raw from the top
of my head to the soles of my feet and
was in continual agony from the
itching. 1 could neither lie down nor
sit up. I happened to see about Cuti-
cura Remedies, and thought would
give them a trial. took good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. put it on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first of April I
felt like a new man. The itching was
almost gone. l continued with the

FAIR APRON SOMETHING new
Woman's Clever Idea, 1t Is Safe to
Say, viii Be Rather Widely
Copied.

That is what it is called by the
clever young woman who is its origi-
nator. There being no further space
for table at fhe church fair in which
she was anxious to help, she con-
ceived the idea of making big. stout
apron OF denim, with plenty Of spa
cious pockets, and going around with
it selling small toys to the visitors at
the bazaar.
No sooner thought than done. The
apron was made Of dark green denim.
reached to the knees and was pro-
vided acrbss the base with three
roomy pockets made in the deep turn
over of the hem by two straight lines
of stitching. These divided the band
into three divisions. which were
trimmed with triple row Of narrow
white braid. Two smaller pockets
were made higher up. All of these
pockets were hastily ornamented by
pictures of Teddy bears. ETC., out
lined in thick, white floss. The apron
was fastened around the waist by
two stout cords. which helped support
it's weight.
So great was the success of this
plan with the children who were too
small to get near the big tables that
the second day of the fair she vas
obliged to hang a tray around her
neck to hold the further wares de-
manded Of her.

PRETTY FANCY WORK
BRAiDIN0 ALWAYS POPULAR AS
A PASTiME.
Some Suggestions That May Be Con-
sidered, With Good Results
How Lingerie Garments
May Be Adorned.

A fascinating form of fancy work
which interests many young girls is
braiding, which progresses rapidly
and does not strain the eyes. The
coronation, soutache, rat tail and fan
cy cord braids are applied to launder-
able materials like canvas, crash, Irish
linen and damask stamped for va
rious useful purposes. Closet shelf
strips and bureau drawer mats OF
white canvas with buttonhole seal
loped edges have German verses done
in fine soutache. Bureau sets, consist
ing of two scarfs, short and long, and
an oblong cushion, are of white or
tinted canvas, hemstitch bordered and
bsaid decorated.
Rather heavy white lawn Is used for
launderable pin cushion tops, foliage
decorated with lace braiding. The
edges of both sides of the covers are
ecalloped and bordered with eyelets
for the ribbon which threads the two
sides together.
Damask centerpieces, buffet scarfs
and doylies of three sizes have seal
loped edges and rat tail centers done
in chestnut burr design, while tea
coseys of the same material carry the
owners monogram in fine braiding.
Russian crash is employed for tray
cloths ornamented with an allover
fancy cord pattern of pale green and
rose or maize and blue; for the front.
backs, collar and cuffs of blouse
decorated with coronation braid and
for the crown and brim Of lingerie
hats elaborated with soutache.
For lingerie garments there are
board hangers covered with Irish lin
en- and decorated with soutache. and
Of the same material are travelling,
infant and face pillow top having
fancy cord borders
Natural colored linen is employed
for automobile hoods embellished with
rat tail and for linen Ascot ties work
ed with fine fancy cord.
Huckab back show towels used for
bedroom dressers, table covers and
chair backs have scalloped ends and
borders worked in coronation.

HIS LIVELIHOOD AT STAKE

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
Physicians Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here He was
at Fault.

We are told that the latest sensa-
ton in the medical world is the asser-
ton of a doctor that he is able, by
looking into a patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as 1t is supposed
to be? I recollect hearing some time
ago Of a doctor who said to patient
who was under examination: Il can
see by the appearance of your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver"
my right eyer" asked the patient.
YES" returned the doctor. ut

out of order"

tient, alphabetically. my right eyes

The Flowers Of the Sea.

Like the land, the sea has its flow
ers. but the most brilliant of the mar
inc flowers bloom not upon plants, but
upon animals. The living corals OF
tropical seas present a display of
floral beauty that in richness and
vividness of color and variety and
grace of form rivals the splendor Of
garden of flowers. The resemblance
to vegetal blossoms is so complete
that some persons find it difficult to
believe that the brilliant display con-
tains no element Of plant life, but Is
wholly animal in its organization.
Among the sea animals that bloom as
If they were plants are included. be-
sides corals, the sea-anemone and the

that among the coral gardens the
birds and butterflies of the upper
world are replaced by fishes Of curl
GUS forms and flashing colors which
dart about among the animal flowers.

Washing Linen.

The best way to wash skirt of tan
colored linen is to plunge it into wa.
ter in which a handful or two of hay
has been boiled.
When the skirt has been washed in
the prepared water-which should be
only warm, not hot when used with
good white soap-it must be thorough
ly rinsed and hung in the air to dry.
If a little stiffening and gloss are de-
sired, two tablespoonful of starch
should be added to the rinse water,
and the skirt should be ironed while
damp.

the fact that the oldest rose tree in
