country, enough are now bearing 10

conditions. The Early Crawford Is
one of these, and cannot be depend
ed upon for a full crop except on
occasional years, although it If OF
exceptionally good quality. Ny
first experiments were with this
kind and not having then learned
that it was an uncertain bearer
everywhere, began to think that
perhaps this district was not adapt
ed to peaches. But having put ou'
some Elbertas later, and given
them better attention, found tina

conditions to prevent it. have

$4,000 BURNER
NOW in Use
The Most Modern Burner Just Com
pleted by The Boomers Ferry
Lumber Company.
TOOK S MONTHS TO COMPLETE


The new water-i jacket burner for
the Bonners Ferry Lbr. Co. was
completed this week and is now in
use. 1t is 80 #. in diameter and
1875 #. high, the water jacket ex-
tending 70 #. and furnishes hot
water instead of cold for boiler
feed, adding considerable to the
capacity of the steam plant. In
addition to the advantage just
meneSoned the burner will save the
comPany the expense OF several
teams and men on both the day
and night shifts.
The burner was constructed by
VIM. Bros Of Minneapolis, who had
a crew of 10 men working with
him since the first of April. taking
them five months.
The hot water from the burner
can later be used for hot pond
should 1t be found profitable t
operate the mill during the winter
months. But under tbs presen
lumber market conditions 1t i
thought not advisable to operst
the entire year.

Poetic justice sounds well. but as a

any poetry in the justice that came his

SHE HOLDS 1T UP TO THE
Girl Who Is Catty

men in olden time feared the stiletto
more than the sword.
But am going to say, with all the
condemning words 1 can summon,
about one-thousandth part of the
hatred and contempt I have for the
catty girl. OF all the social curses
that take the form of animate
woman, she is the worst. No other
can approach in power to chafe and
wound, In facility at embittering and
infuriating, in fomenting mischief
and in causing actual soreness of soul,
the diabolical cunning, the virulent
purposefulness, the unremitting ac-
tivity Of the catty girl. And that is a
mere one-thousandth part of what I
think and what I know a lot of other
women and many men think!
Even if your love of infiicting pain
has the nine lives of the cat you re-
sembIe, you would strangle it could

Of the way In which you are regarded.

yourself. So you scratch when you do
not enjoy a monopoly.
You are a pretty, human pussy cat!
And you are as soft and warm and

you scratch her.

But she does 1t, have seen the spirit

Don't Marry Without Love

The girl who marries a man she is
fond of, my dear Eleanor, has one
chance in a hundred of being happy.
That one chance lies in the possibility
that she may fall in love with him
after marriage. So take my advice
and make up your mind not to even
think of marriage for at least two
years more. For the girl who mar
ries at II is usually among the di-
vorcees a few years later.
/ cannot see why you should mind
going without things for one more
year at school If your mother is so
willing to make sacrifices for you, but
think, too, that you are right in your
wish to go out and earn your own
money If you are a burden on your
mother, although the desire to have
pretty things is hardly the proper
spirit.
Have long, quiet talk with her
some evening, tell her candidly all
that lies in your heart. Tell her of
the ideal which you cherish, for it
will show her how foolish it would be
for you to marry man you do not
love. Then talk sensibly about going
to work, and 1 am sure If she finds
you seriously bent on helping she will
not put obstacles in your path.

Uncle Sam as Coal Merchant.

In answer to question about
government lands. he said.
I'VE are selling them. During a
single month at the Salt Lake City
office we have received 100000 for
such lands, and additional claims
were filed that month by would-be
purchasers aggregating~ 100000
more. The selling prices are fixed
so that they will be attractive to the
purchaser and at the same time will
prevent the lands being bought and
held, in order that the buyer may
make a great profit out of the un-
earned increment thereon. The idea
is to conserve the coal for the gov
eminent and the people. The land
office also issues patents for farm
lands and homesteads, reserying the
coal which lies beneath them.
What sort of coal lands are the
best investments ?"
AT present the high-grade and
more expensive lands are the better
buys, although more of the low
priced lands are being sold. You see
