CENSUS FIGURES
ABOUT IDAHO

Washington, ID. g., Feb. "a
A preliminary statement of the gen.
eral results of the census of manu-
features for the state of Idaho was
issued to-day by Census Director
Durand. 1t consists of summary
comparing the figures for 1904 and
1908, by state totals, prepared un-
der the direction Of Mr.. William M
Steuart, chief statisticiaD for manu.
features, Bureau of the Census.
Steam laundries are given sepa-
rate presentation because the Thir-
teenth Census was the first in which
they were canvassed, and therefore
there are no statistics for prior Gen.
suses with which these totals can be
compared.
The thirteenth census, like that
of 1904, with reference to manufae-
lures, differs from the twelfth cen
sus, in 1900, in that the two later
censuses excluded the hand trades,
the building trades, and the neigh
borhood industries, and took ac-
count only of establishments con-
Quoted under the factory system
In the last census, also, as i'll that
for 1904, statistics were not collect
ed for factories having product
for the census year of value less
than $500, except that reports were
taken for establishments idle during
portion of the year 1909, or which
began operation during that year,
and whose products for such reason
were less than $500.
The reports were taken for the
calender year ending December 81,
1909, wherever the system of book
keeping permitted figures for tina.

DEATH CALLS
TWO PIONEERS

The Death Angel called from our
midst last Saturday night one If
sturdy old pioneers of the west, in
the person of George Follick, whose
death occurred at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Roy George. Mr..
Foll'ck would have been 80 years
of age next May and his death was
due to general debility. He had
been resident of Bear Lake county
for nearly 80 years.
He Is survived by one son and
four daughters. His funeral ser
vices were held at the Dingle meet
honse last Monday morning, and
his remains were consigned to their
final resting place in the Diugle
cemetery, beside those of his wife,
who preceded him to the Great Be
yond two years ago.
By the death of Peter Jensen,
which occurred at his home in Ovid
last Sunday morning, another one
of the pioneers of Bear Lake county
has been called to hIs home beyond
that bourne from which no traveller
ever returns. MIR. Jensen came to
this valley in the spring of 1864 and
had made his home here ever since.
During the earlier days he was
bishop of Ovid ward and was al
ways faithful worker in the church
About seven years ago he suffered
from stroke of paralysis, from
which he never fully recovered. III
addition to his affiiction, last winter
he fell and injured one of his hips,
which made it difficult for him to
get about. Despite these Affections
he was always cheerful and waited
patiently for the summons calling
him to his final rest. He was con-
fined to his bed only a few days be-
fore the end came and went to his
long sleep as peacefully and quietly
as though about to take his usual
nightly rest.
Had he lived a few months, he
would have reached the Soth mile
stone on life's pathway. An aged
widow, seven sons and three dAugh-
ters survive him.
His funeral services were held at
the Ovid meeting house Wednesday
at IL o'clock and many friends and
neighbors gathered to pay their last
respects TO one whom they bad
known and esteemed for SO many
years.

morrow and Find Mercury
At Eighteen.

followed by a drop in temperature to
probably IS degrees above zero by to-
morrow morning. is the prediction Of the
Weather Bureau.
The rain which began this morning
is the forerunner of the cold wave that
has spread over the entire West. This
disturbance, which yesterday was over
the Mississippi valley, was reported this
morning TO be over Virginia.
II probably will continue raining, ac-
cording to the Weather Bureau, until
the rapidly falling temperature brings
STOW. Tomorrow, It is predicted. will be
clear and cold, with high west and
northwest winds.
Early reports received this morning
indicate that the cold wave has struck
Florida. 1t is freezing in the northwest
section of the State. while the mercury
has dropped To the twenties in the west
Gulf coast. As yet, the trucking and
fruit sections have not been visited, but
there Is little probability that they will
escape, as the wave Is predicted to
spread over northern-central Florida
Snow has fallen as far south as Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, and Is now fall
ing over the Lake region. Intense cold
is reported In Montana and in the
Northwest generally. Traffic and tele-

LONE DAUGHTER MAY.
WIN MILLER ESTATE.
First Legal Step In Tri-
angular Contest In
Her Favor.

Elsie May Miller, found in penury ia
Baltimore and brought to this city to
claim the estate of the late Fannie
Miller, who was known as Fannie
Long. who was found dead at 46 B
street several days ago. was victor in
a three-sided contest today before JUS
tice Gould, who appointed Jacob New,
a Baltimore attorney. administrator of
the estate.
From the testimony there appeared
to be little doubt but what the Balti-
more girl is the only daughter of the
woman.
The case was called, after a post
ponement yesterday, following the
completion of this mornings bust
ness, when Attorney Myer Cohen, of
the firm of Wolf & Cohen, presented a
petition on behalf of the girl, asking
Mr. News appointment.
Discussion followed. during which
the claims of Miss Layman and her
brother, from Frederick, Nd, who
claimed to be a nephew and niece Of
the dead woman, were brought to the
attention of the court. by Attorney
Alexander Wolf.
Attorney w. H. -Sholes presented a
petition of Jesse H. Potbury, member
of the local bar, who declared that he
had been the Miller woman's counsel
for seven years, and asked that he be
made administrator.
After listening to each claim, Justice
Gould declared that he would grant the
petition of the woman's daughter, and
bond was fixed for the administrator
at $4,000

Atlas Held Up Heaven
And Not the Earth

Strictly speaking. "atlas" is a mis-
nomer for a map book. since 1t was
not the world. but the heavens, that
the "atlas" of mythology upheld. Msr-
Gator, the famous Dutch geographer,
who made globes for Emperor Charles
" of Germany, was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
II as a convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod, figures with a world upon his
shoulders as a frontispiece of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, it was said, made war with
other Titans upon Zeus, and, being con-
ouered. was condemned to bear heaven
upon his head and hands. Later tradi-
ton represented him as a man. changed
by means of Medusa's head into a noun
tain, upon which rested heaven and all
its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with a heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester:
Thou art no Atlas for so great weight.
1t is not difficult to see how by an
association of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for book of
maps which uphols and exhibits to
us the whole world.-Exchange.

Fog Drives Steamboat
To Resort to Wireless

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Tugs were
hurried out today to find the New
England Navigation Company's
steamboat Priscilla and bring her $50
hungry passengers ashore.
The Priscilla is anchored somewhere
in the Sound, off College Point, L. l.,
fearing to make the hazardous trip
through He'll Gate in the densest fog
New York has experienced in many
years. Wireless messages were sent
to the company's office in New York,
asking that tugs be sent with food.
The tugs, however, could not get to
the Priscilla last night for the same
reason that the Priscilla could not
come into port. The continued fog
around the harbor played havoc with
shipping, many liners having been
held up for thirty hours or more.
