difficult, according to the Oriental Eco

days believed photography to be Il sort

touched there. Day after day he watched
patiently for the coming of what We're
known as the black ships" telescope in
hand, and it came about in the end thar
he was able to learn a little of photo
graphy. AS soon as Yokohama became
an open port Shimooka put up his photo
grapher's sign on Benten-dori avenue.
But no Japanese could be persuaded To
come To his studio for the current notion
as To photo taking was that the life Of
the subject was shortened. as photogra-
ply extracted a part of the human oil
or essence Of human existence. The on
~ customer this pioneer photographer
had for long time were the sailors of
foreign vessels who thought that being
photographed by n Japanese would be
an interesting memento of their visit to
japanese waters.
Then one day an American blue Jac ket
decided that he would like to be photo
graphed with Japanese girl rs a souve-
| mir for his home friends but 10 girl or
| woman could be found who would thus
willingly shorten her life. Shimooka's
| last resort was a little nurse maid who
| used TO play every day with her ward
| in front of his studio and she was inno-
cent enough to comply with his request
This proved a good advertisement
among the foreign sailors who imme-
diately began to throng his establish
ment to be photographed with Japa-
nese musume, and the girl herself was
happy to get the 81 or So paid by each
sailor photographed. She often realized
| SO s12 a day and the photographer

| To his surprise the girl one day did

| informing him that Because you took

| seriously i'll. Probably she will die
What will YOU do in that case? If your
answer is unsatisfactory ! will sue you"
No amount of reasoning and explaining
| on the part of poor Shimooka would
avail as the girls parents We're sure that
she had been bewitched, so that finally
| at the end of his wits he sent for the
| best physician in Yokohama, who pro-
nounced the bewitchment but an ordi-
nary cold.
Notwithstanding this Shimooka could
not help worrying as 10 what would hap
pen To him if the girl should die. He
| knew at least that il would certainly in
terfere with the spread of this wonder

now chucklingy recounts, he immediate
ly began to make daily pilgrimage on
foot to a temple 10 miles from Yokohama
to pray to the gods and Buddhas for the
speedy recovery of that nurse girl. II

rhe burglar of today is as far re-
moved from the Bill Skies of ID genera
ton or two ago as the man who skins
through the air with the speed of il
swallow on his aeroplane is removed
from his predecessor who risks his
bones III a fire balloon. The modern
burglar is often highly trained man
of science, who knows as much of
chemistry, the properties of heat and
the resistance of metals as many a
professor.
This startling fact is brought home
to US by the recent discoveries at No.
3 Exchange Buildings. the scene of the
murder Of the three city policemen,
where formidable scientific armory
was found. This included cylinder
containing 40 feet of oxygen, with a
pressure of 1,160 pounds to the square
inch, equipped with dial which regis
ters the amount of gas in the cylinder.
There was also a wonderful blowpipe
of the latest design, capable of fusins

3 feet long with which the white-hot
metal could be Gu. as easily as sar-

Such are some of the formidable
weapons with which the up-to-date
burglar plies his nefarious trade; and
these are by no meaEs the most re-
raarkable weapons in his armory.

estimate of completion in 1913 will
be borne out.
The point which seems to offer the
greatest difficulties throughout the
whole canal is the cut in the Culebra
hills and this, not on account of engin-
eering problems, but because of the
many slides occurring from the loose
earth. These slides confuse estimates
as to the number of cubic yards to be
ultimately excavated. The engineers,
however, in charge Of the work are
confident that these difficulties are by
no means insuperable and will, in

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1911.
is LATAH COUNTY LAND TOO
HIGH?

Speaking about the price of Latah
county land, we heard a man say the
other day that he did not believe in
booming it because it was too high
interest on the investment at present
prices. We agreed that this is true
if he meant wheat on 800 land. Per-
haps it is a little high for wheat where
the farmer summer fallows one-third
of the time. But whenever the Star
Mirror has referred to Latah county
soil and said that it is too cheap we
have had in mind real farming. We
have talked of soil when given a real
opportunity to produce. In the first
place there is no more reason for
summer following Latah county land
than there is in the merchant lock-
ing up his store one-third of the time,
or the banker calling in his money
and refusing to loan it twelve months
out of every thirty-six. The fact that
most of our farmers still summer fall
low is no argument IN It's favor. For
a quarter of a century VIM. Clyde
one of our successful farmers has
summer fallowed. The past season
he planted an eight-acre patch of
corn on summer fallow. The results
were astonishing. He raised an i'm
mense crop. Others are making the
same discovery. Some are produc-
ing big crops of potatoes, others Glow
er and alfalfa, while others plant
roots and feed cattle and hogs. BY
scientific intensive farming the good
farmer with a small acreage is pro-
ducing more than his neighbor with
tendency will now be to farm less
land, but farm it better. Where mod
ern methods are followed there is no
complaint that Latah county real
estate is too high. Invariably these
intensive farmers have no complaint
to make. We know of one man who
lars a year from a twenty-acre tract.

Wallace Press: While it is gen.
orally agreed that to keep the kids
of Wallace from smoking cigarettes
would be an impossibility, restrictions
are to be placed upon the sale OF
"the makins" that will, it is hoped
by the councilmen cause a decrease in
the number of cigarettes consumed by
boys of tender years.
The matter was brought up in
council Monday night by Mr.. Nord-
quist. Speaking of the apparently
growing practice among Wallace
youngsters, he said that he was filled
with disgust and hoped that there
was some way open in the city coun-
Gil to place obstacles in the way OF
the boys, who seem to have no diff
Guilty in getting cigarettes.
Former Mayor Hanson, who was
present, stated that there was an
ordinance which made the selling OF
tobacco to a boy a misdemeanor, and
that it had been the practice OF the
councils of the past to give instruc-
tions to the chief of police to warn
all dealers against violating the ordi-
nance.
The matter was discussed at length
and taken under Amusement. 1t is
probable that the ordinance will be
revived and amended, placing a heavy
fine as the penalty of selling tobacco
or wrappers to little boys.
