Which Valentines Are Connie?

We read lot of vigorous of comic" valen- tnes But why, in the name of pigment doesn't one arise in meeting and tell which is the comic kind?
 It is generally understood that the hideous distortions o form and feature accompanied by insulting semi
 obscene doggerel are called comic. But that sort of thing isn't comic at all Those the saddest creations possible-ranky and fagrantly and Intentionally dis

 the senders rather than to any ineffi- eiency on the part of the postal au- thorities. Nevertheless, when one pauses to consider the characteristics of the extra mail that floods the postal routes in mid-February it does not seem so strange that a larger share of it misses it's destination than would be the case with an equal volume of holiday mail at other seasons of the year.
 The most common cause of failure on the part of the postodfce officials to deliver mail is found in the pres ence on the puzzling pieces of mail matter of illegible, incorrect or insuffi- cient addresses. Such faulty mail matter is numerous enough at all seasons of the year and it is easy to understand that it reaches flood tide along about Valentine day. In the first place many of the persons who send valentines wish to use every pre- caution to conceal from the recipient the origin of the remembrance To that end they attempt to disguise their handwriting and resort to other expedients, all of which make for illegible addresses. At valentine time. too, many little folks patronize the mails on their own initiative and some of these youngsters are far from skilled in penmanship.
 To this same inhuence-the contri- buttons of the juvenile portion of the community-is to be attributed the un. usual proportion of incorrectly and inadequately addressed pieces of mail

ALL the different and distinct classes of mail that pass through Uncle Sans postal channels in the course of the year, it is probable that none show so large a prOpor- tion of loss en route as do the valentines.

Nor Is this strange, for tilmy creations of lace paper and scrap pictures could scarcely be expected to stand the wear and tear of a century or more and survive. as does old fur niture or pewter or brass.

Special 60 The Tribune.
POCATELLO, Ida, Dec 6.-In tho
mad rush incident to business aud poll
tics, Idaho may pause long enough TO
take q full breath of congratulation at
the news offered in Sundays Tribune
that the census bureau had accorded
us a gain of 10l.3 per cent in point of
population for the years 1900 to 1910.
The figure is 325,5gt, and ten years
ago We had I6l,772 people
This is i remarkable gain. It comes
5 at Il time when reliable estimates for
the future may bo safely made OH these
figures.
What Made 1t.
Since 1900 we have been passing
through the initial stage only Of the
application Of tho Carey act TO our
Idaho desert land, From a standpoint
Of people, the Carey act acreage in
Idaho is not yet begun. Only in one
project, the Twin Falls has the settle
meut been anything like complete to
the acreage sold,
Twin Falls. therefore, may be taken
as an example of what may be expected
thcrc were not 100 people living with
in the area now composing Twin Falls
county. Today It's population is 13,5f3.
This population is by reason of tho
reclamation of 22J,U00 acres of land,
desert in character
There arc practically Il million and
half acres of land additional to
Twin Falls. in Idaho. under way to If

act This Twin Falls tract is only one
sixth Of the Carey act land tn be re-
claimed. Thus ] reason that when the
projects under course of irrigation arc
completed and settled rs is the Twin
Falls tract now. we can safely figure
,u an additional original population on
these areas alone of - 600 people.
This. Of course. Will come about in the
pcxl decade. aud not this alone. but the
TWIN Falls tract Will ten years hence,
bc 50 reduced in units As 10 show a
count quite twice rs large rs its pres
ent population.
Another Like Gain Coming.
This increase reasons ouly from a
basis Of irrigahle land under Carey act
projects II affords a clear basis, how.
ever. for the presumption that Idaho
may well expect another 100 per cent
gain during the next decade, 1910 to
1920. This wouid give Idaho a popula-
hon Of 60 1000
