Many Aviators Meet Death.

During 1911 hity-one Aviators
met their death by attempting
AR flight, while during 1910 only
thirty five lost their lives in this
manner.
Just what proportion of those
attempting fights is uncertain,
but evidently the rate is quite
high as compared with the few
who are engaged in that venture
some mode of travel.
The railroad furnishes a long
list Of dead each year but the
millions who travel are seldom
victims of accidents.
If some instrument could be in
invented To attach on To the per
son ascending SO that in the ev-
ent of accident while in the air an
easy landing could be made tire
danger would be eliminated gre
atty and that method of travel
used generally.

wounds.
He claims to have done it in

been proved AMI the hearing has
mot come off yet.
Both men are comparatively
strangers here, Mr.. Arnhart hav-
ing arrived only few weeks ago
and Mr. Davidson has been work
ing at the Dam some time.
The trouble is said to have had
its beginning by ] X. Dayley of
Basin slapping Mr.. Arnhart by
mistake and for which he made
apology but the latter refused to
accept it shat way, MIR. Dayley
then gave him five dollars to sat

money was returned TO Mr.. Day

Davidson became in reste d
which led up to the cutting re-
ferred to.
Complaint has been served and
filed with Justice Wilson before
whom the case will come. The

What Advertising means to
the Fruit Grower.

The rapid increase IN acreage
devoted to fruit growing has
compelled fruit growers to search
out distant markets, as local
markets are entirely inadequate
10 consume the fruitsi,ow raised
he business of marketing has
become more complex and to as
sist the fruit grower in disposing
of his products has arisen the
commission house and the fruit
growers associations. The sue
cess Of the grower depends upon
the reputation built by himself
and these various marketing
agents.
1t has devolved upon the latter
to open up distant markets for
the farmer and this they have
done chiefly by advertising, either
through newspapers aud magaz-
ines, or personal solicitation, or
both With the fruit on the mar
ket advertising is further carried
on by means OF attractive labels
on the boxes SO that people
might know what to call for a
second time. BY advertising the
attention of the public is called
to the fruit and the desirability
OF having quantity from the
district represented, on hand. In
this and other WAYS a demand
for fiuit iscreated and the success
OF the best advertised fruit dist
ricts Indicates that it pays.
To the fruit grower, then, ad
vertislng means the opening OF
pew markets, it means an oppor-
tunity to build up a reputation
SO that the demand for his fruits
shall be constant. But advertis-
alone is NOT sufficient, The fruit
must be wen eladed and pucaed,
Ii must be OF best quality and
arrive on the marketia first class
lie lguf and mot tNf.

Idaho Census
Shows Wonder
full Increase.
POPULATION MORE THAN
DOUBLES.

The first bulletin giving census
figures taken in 1910 shows
101 3 per cent increase i'll popul-
alton in the State of Idaho dur
ing the last ten years.
In 1900 the States population
was 16l,772 and in 1910 325,
594, or an increase of 1863. 500,
or 1O1 3 ao This percentage Of
increase exceeds that of the
United Stated by 5to1 showing
thatldaho isgetting very heavy
influx Of people which is being
tfken from some other place.
There were only two places Of
$500 0population orlmore in 1900
wilhelm 1919 there were - such
places.
These two in 1900 contained
10 0O3 inhabitants while the 12
in 1910 had 60, 1898 people
The total population residing
IN the Villages of less than $500
inhabitants and rural districts
are 255, 696 or rs per cent of
total population of the state,
leaving 81 5 per cent that live in
Incorporated cities Of 2 500 peo-
pie oI more.
Cassia County has by no means
been tagging in her share OF
in1isration
The total population o~tiis
Cpunty.-in 1900 was 1851 which
at chat lime embraced the territ
ory now comprising Twin Falls
County. In 1910 her numbers
had swelled to 1897 beside hay
ing large area taken oifto form
what is now Twin Fails G Ountv.
Her increase over 1900 with this
territory taken off is 80. per cent
aud had she hot been divided it
would have been 425 per cent.
From these figures it shows
that Idaho is ahead of the per
cent OF increase in the United
States as a whole by 5 to
Cassia County including the ter
riority now comprising Twin
Fails County is practically as
far ahead OF the average OF state
as the latter is the United States.
Another very interesting feat
ure is the fact that we have SS
towns OF less than $500 popul-
alton while there were but 80 in
1900, AN increase of Sc.
This shows substantial gro
with in the way Of foundations
for future cities.
Tins is only few facts that
this paper has taken at random |
OF the many interesting items
contained IN the census bulletin

the work Of hundreds. one Is like
the actuary i'm an insurance company
He makes the figures on the basis OF
which business is solicited: the other
is the manager of the company VINO
handles the reins so that success fol-
lows the enterprise. We know by OK
perience that it is easier to design a
Panama canal than to build one. The
man who is now so successfully doing
this work is a type of the great execu-
tive. He is greater as an executive
than as an engineer. He could not be
the executive that he is had ne not
learned to study men by mixing with
all classes.
I dwell upon this appeal with en-
phasis because of its great importance.
1t should be your first post graduate
lesson If you seek the higher planes
in education and in life. The fact that
Won have a good scientific education
does not give you the least advantage
i'm doing executive work. The man OF
equal general abilities who. while you
have been at college, has been mixing
with and studying men, is ahead of
you as an executive, but the training
that you have received and the llnowl-
edge gained, If you are not spoiled,
should enable you to outdistance him
after few years. To do this You
must get back to earth, you should be
willing to begin at the bottom, to carry
your candle and pick. In doing this
you become not common but an UNI
common laborer.
My next personal appeal is that men
should strive TO work always on prac.
teal lines. Separate the cham from the
wheat-cut off all ruching from your
garment our great business, said
Carlisle. is not to see the things that
lie dimly ut a distance, but TO do that
which lies plainly at hand. Men at
college are engaged i'm abstract studies,
much that is done is not tangible.
This is good work and well worth do

AS the bill now stands non-resi-
dents may not take game birds out OF
the state except as open hand baggage
and the number of birds he may take
is reduced to 20.
A clause was added to prevent any
person while hunting, to skin, pluck
or otherwise mutilate game so that
its identity may not be easily discern
able.
The provision to prevent sneak boat
shooting was cut out entirely.
The number of ducks, geese and
similar water birds that may be shot
is reduced to 25 that may be had in
possession at any one time.
The number OF deer that may be
shot is fixed at two and the provision
to prevent killing of doe was stricken
out The deer season is fixed from
October Is to Nov. 30 instead of from
Nov. 10 to 80, but the licenses issued
are good only for 20 days from the
date of issuance.
The season for shooting ducks, snipe,
plover. and woodchuck, is fixed at from
Sept. 10 to Nov. 80.

ing in our educational life. but when
this foundation is built and we stand
upon it in the field of life our first
concern should be to do things; to get
results that tell.
II is work, work well done, work
done on practical lines, that tells.
Work is the hand-maiden Of success.
1t counts more than genius, more than
ability.
While working on practical lines we
should not forget to also work on lines
of greatest efficiency. The best engi-
neering is that which accomplishes a
result in the most economical manner.
It is only a bad designer who puts
more metal into an engine than is re-
CURED for the work performed. Every
pound of coal wasted for power or
fuel may shorten life in the world.
The man most valuable about a mine
or mill is he who helps TO lop of
fraction in the cost of producing the
metal. This is the age Of scientific ef-
iciency of conservation Of industrial
economies Men need not work a whit
harder, but through the use of ma
chinery and better methods Of work,
greater results are obtained. After
all it is only question Of study of
stopping the leaks and striving to con-
centrate on lines that produce one

GAME BILL KILLED.
Measure Creating Commission Tabled
After Passing Senate.

The game commission bill, which
had been endorsed by the State Sports
mems association and was warmly fav-
ored by Governor Osborn, was killed
by the House i'm the last days of the
session. The bin would have wiped
out the state fish commission and the
game and fish warden's department,
collecting the work of both under an
honorary commission of five members.
The first step was To defeat the pro-
posed hunters license I'm order to de-
prive the commission of the intended
revenue, and then the commission bill
itself was tabled after 1t became APP
parent that there were not sufficient
votes to insure its passage. The COM
mission bill passed the senate some
time ago.
A lot of work was done for and
against these bills and the farmers fl
nally amalgamated for the alleged rea-
son that they would be the victims of
the millionaire lumbermen of the state
Word was passed around that If the
commission bill got through only rich
men would be appointed, the fish and
game wardens would be used to guard
the preserves of the lumber barons and
those who did not stand in would be
prosecuted for violations of the law.
General Game Bill.
The game regulation bill over which
so much time and hard work and good
thought had been put in was passed in
the last rush, the house pausing long
enough to amend IL in a number of
particulars. Rather than lose the bill
entirely the senate consented to the
