ABUNDANCE OF SNOW

Assistant Forest Supervisor Her
bert McPheters and N. C. Heath
arrived home a few days ago from
a trip to the Salmon river region
whittier they went to measure the
depth of the snow. They were
two days on the trip each way and
stayed there one day, making in all
five days out. They found that the
snow was very solid all over and
that there was a great deal more
of it than there has been for a
many years past.
The greatest depth encountered
was on the Galena summit where
it measured 7 feet Of solid snow.
At the old town of Galena there
were feet, at Russian Johns five;
at North Fork, nine miles above
Ketchum there were AZ feet; just
below Ketchum it measured 3
feet and 10 inches; at Pierson 3
feet.
Mr.. McPheters stated that they
arrived at Clark's on Salmon river
at midnight on March IS and the
thermometer registered ~ degrees
below zero, which is considerabl
colder than it is in this region, for
the report at this office shows is
degrees above zero.
The trip was made on snowshoes,
the crust being too soft to carry
the weight of a man. 1t is prob
able that there is considerable more
snow in the mountains this year
than last at this time, and there
should be an abundance of water
during the coming season.-News-

Turning Point In His Career

for an anecdotal life Of Greeley be-
fore his employer. Nathaniel p. Willis.
Willis at once saw the probabilities of
the idea, and. furthermore, told Par.
ton that he was just the man to write
the life. But Parton hesitated, saying
that In order to write such life as he
had in mind II would be necessary for
him to visit New Hampshire. Gree
iey's native state; Vermont and Penn
sylvanis, and get the anecdotes at
first hand from old people who knew
Greeley in the days of his obscurity.
That. Of course. would take SOME
months. said Parton, adding that he,
Woodworking newspaper man, had
neither the time nor the money for
such work.
willis. however, had become very
enthusiastic over Parton's idea, and
at once replied that he would ad-
vance the money necessary to collect
the material for the book; that the
money could be paid back out of the
receipts from the life. Parton eagerly
accepted the prefer of help and spent
weeks ir New Hampshire, searched
all over Vermont for old people who
had known the great editor In his
youth. and likewise hunted up Greeley
material In Pennsylvania, so that
when he finally returned to New York
he was filled to the brim with good
anecdotal 'stuf' about Greeley. which
he promptly put into book form, awak-
ing one morning not SO very long
after to find himself famous as the
author of The Life of Horace Gree
ley
THAT life was published IN 1883
and before the year was out the book
had brought In to its author nearly
$1,000. mighty good royalty money in
those days. But the book did more
than to ease its authors financial sit
uation- The immense popularity of
the book-its sale was helped by the
prominent part Greeley took in or
ganizing the Republican party the
year after 1t was published-made
Parton feel convinced that he could
do good biographical work indefinitely,
so be gave up his salaried position as
q routine newspaper man and became
biographer and historian-probably
the most popular Of all our biograph-
ers to date, because he learned how
to catch the popular fancy with the
anecdotal style Of biography"

Henry Clay AS a Campaigner

That move aroused the old lion
that was in Clay. He determined to
give the Wing leaders the fight OF
their lives; and in line with this de-
termination there appeared one day in
the Louisville Courier Journal an adj
vertisement to the eject that Henry
Clay would address the citizens of
Kentucky on the public square at Lex.
iLgton a certain date upon the issues
Of the day. This happened shortly
before the legislature which was to
choose a senator was to be elected.
well, this brief advertisement was
enough to set the state wild with ex-
element, and on the day announced
for the speech the town OF Lexington
was crowded to overlooking with peo-
pie from all parts Of the state. The
public square was one dense mass Of
men and women. and there were many
Lomen.
when Mr.. Clay appeared upon the
platform he had only to look at that
immense crowd and bestow upon II
that singularly fascinating smile Of
his, to which he owed so much of his
personal popularity. for 1t was an in
dex to his nature, to set the crowd
wild. And with delight 1t remained
until he raised his hand, when ST.
lence gradually fell upon that vast as

speech.

James 6urnie Beck's Story Of the
Speech That Resulted In the Great
kentuckian's Return to
the Senate.

James Burnie Beck, who represent
ed the state Of Kentucky in the Unit
ed States senate from 1876 until his
death In 1890. and was a member OF
the house of representatives from
1866 to 1874, was a man of impressive
personality. He was of powerful phys
ical build. His muscles were like
steel His head. large. round. and set
firmly upon his shoulders, was sur
mounted by curly iron-gray hair. In
the senate Mr.. Beck was recognized
as an authority upon the tariff and
financial questions, but in the cloak
room or In private company he was
the center of interest chiefly because
OF his recoilections of the early politi-
cal life Of Kentucky and Of Henry
Clay, told with real dramatic force
and no little skill Of description.
Many times saw Henry Clay while
a political canvass was In progress in
Kentucky" said Mr.. Beck, who had
been a law partner of John G. Brock
inridge, the south's presidential candi-
date In 1860 and vice-president during
Buchanan's administration. Il prac-
ticed law for some years at Lexington
so that had abundant opportunity
to see and hear Mr.. Clay. He was al
ways a very effective speaker, but we
an noticed that In the latter years of
his public life he seemed to have a
greater influence over young men than
with men of his own age who had
been prominent In the Wing party.
But the finest exhibition Of his pow
ers as a campaigner which Mr.. Clay
ever made. SO far as my personal OBJ
servations were concerned, occurred
in 1s4s, between the time he was de-
feated by Zachary Taylor for the Wing
presidential nomination and his re-
election to the United States senate in
the fall Of that year.
Clay lost the presidential nomina-
ton that year partly because the Ken
lucky Wing leaders would not cause
the state delegation to support his
nomination. Clay was furious at their
action, and as result these Wings
set out to defeat Clay's reelection to
the senate.

When q Child 10 One Year Old the
Average Weight Is Eighteen
Pounds ard Half.

Six pounds and half is the weight
OF the average child at birth; at the
end OF the first year the average
weight is eighteen pounds and half,
a gain Of twelve pounds. and at the
end Of the second year the weight is
twenty-three pounds. gain OF only
four pounds and half. And with each
successive year the gain is less and
less until maturity Is reached. Why
is the gain less each year? And why
does it finally cease altogether?
The reason Is that the absorbing
surfaces inside the stomach and in
testines do not and in the nature Of
thing cannot grow proportionately to
the growth Of the body as a whole.
During the first year of growth the
child's body becomes approximately
three times as large as It was at birth.

bowels Of the child at the age Of one
