ODE TO NIGHT

ilo, solemn Night
symbol Of mans earthly destiny
The day-Dearns lifting upward, TAX,
thSir flight,
- Thy shades draw nigh.
So fades the light Of life:
so fail the somber shades Of awful
death:
flushed is the sound of earthly
strife;
Awed nature bates her BREATH
Time thrusts his sickle in.
The fruitage Of the earth to reap;
And from the midst, the tares of
sin
Are cast into a heap.
The fruilless life cut down:
How dreadful is The thought
Cast out as cumberers Of the ground
Accursedl LOST Forgot
Ho, solemn Night
Full oft thy gloom returns;
But equal oft, the grand old Orb
of light
High in mid-heaven burns.
SO, in the wise, good providence
of God,
The light Of life succeeds,
Deaths shadows, at His word;
The gloom Of night receedes.
My soul, fix not thine eye
On nights repellent gloom:
But turn thy gaze in cheerful hope
on high,
For light from thence VIII come
Hail, solemn Night
Thou'rt not all gloom, all omen I'LL
Thou dost but veil the tranquil
heavenly light,
And solemn thoughts distill.
Thou vision of repose, supremacy |
best:
Hail gentle Night, all hall

IDAHO IN THE EAST

The Promoter is in receipt of
proof sheets Of two large ads
which the Union Pacific has been
carrying in the eastern papers for
the last few months. The ads call
special attention of the eastern
people to Idaho and its vase re-
sources, and especially to the south
ern part of the state. Following
is an extract showing how the
company is boosting for the Gem
State:
When an acre of Idaho land will
yield 100 bushels of grain, s tons
of alfalfa, 400 to 500 bushels of
potatoes, 25 tons of sugar bets
with crop failures unknown and a
climate that permits stock to thrive
out of doors the year 'round-think
Of the profits awaiting the man
who helps supply this demand.

FEDERAL Jury STARTS WELL

True bills Of indictment were re-
turned by the federal grand jury
~ pncatelIo Tuesday, against
Kwan Ha iiay. an educated Korean
and G. G. Oslrandcr, am Oregon
Short Line brakeman, in white
slavery charges. This marks the
first step of The government Off
erals in this part of the intermoun-
tain country in breaking up what
is considered well organized
gang Of procurers operating be-
tween Salt Lake and Boise and Po-
cafello and Butte. The specific
charge against the Korean is a vio-
!ation of the federal statute pro-
bibiting the transportation from
one state to another of women for
immoral purposes.
The charge against Ostrander is
violation Of the Interstate commerce
laws. He is alleged to have Sc

SENATOR GOODING DOES NOT
APPROVE OF CASH VALUE

Senator Fred GoOding Of SliO
slione is much opposed to the ful
aluatiOn plan Of taxation. In al
interview with the Statesman, thu
senator says;
'Csos Hawleys action was one Of
the worst hlunacrs ever saw,
Senator Gooding said i'll discuss
ing the matter at the Owybee. TO
my mind it illustrates what grave
mistakes able men will make when
they operate out of their own ele-
Inent. Governor Hawley has the
Reputation Of being lawyer Of
unusual ability He has not the
reputation of being sbrewd bus
mess man: and this tax problem
demands the well trained business
mind more than anything else con-
nected with public affairs.
III is no time for radical crusade
Of this kind in Idaho or elswhere.
There has been too much Of il in
late years, and that's what is wrong
with business. There las been too
much bounding Of business men;
TOO much crying down of capital.
II man has accumulated little
property he has worked for it and
earned it. lie is entitled to Just
as much consideration as the man
who has not worked and planned
and saved.
'lhe trouble with Governor Haw-
ley's cash value plan is that under
IS the railroads and other big cor
porations will escape their just
portion Of the tax burden and the
counties will not play fair in max
ing their assessments. No matter
what they say for public consump-
lion every assessor will cut values
down as low as he dare cut them
without running the risk of being
thrown into Jail by the governor
''The assessors are between the |
devil and the deep sea-if they
make high assessments they will
be tarred and feathered at home; if
they make low assessments, they
will be removed from office and
maybe thrown into jail by the gov
ernor.
Il know that the governor and
some of his political advisers hold
That the laws establishing fixed
evies for schools and sinking fund
may be brushed aside-that it is
not necessary to collect more mon
AZ than is needed for these funds
regardless of what the law says
N the point. This is to my mind
j funny situation. 1t places Gov
,rnor Hawley in the position of
and enforcing the laws
VI the state to the letter with one
land, while with the other hand
le is brushing aside laws that are
aually clear and definate"

fish are cheap they form an excellent
substitute for beef scraps in the ra-

Duck raising has been developed
within the last twenty-five years into
a flourishing industry. Prior to that
time the duck was not considered a
profitable fowl to raise; its flesh was
never prized very highly by the
masses. Ducks were raised without
constraint in waterways, feeding most
ly on fish and water insects. This
gave the flesh a strong fishy flavor.
hence 1t was not particularly sought
after. save by the few who were par
tial to that class of diet.
The duck centers of Long Island
and New England were then produc-
ing a limited number each season. and
It was with difficulty that these were
sold with profit. In fact. one OF the
most prominent duck raisers may be
quoted as saying that he was obliged
to visit the city markets personally
and tease the dealers to purchase his
birds. in order to secure anything like
satisfactory prices.
Artificial incubation and brooding.
combined with judicious feeding. have
been instrumental in the development
Of the industry. Machinery has en-
abled the duck raiser to accomplish
his ambition of having his stock in
the markets when prices are the best.
and also Of raising a large number of
birds in limited space Of time.
The season for raising ducks is
about six months-from February to
July, inclusive. Duck raising is to be
recommended to farmers as a profit
able source of revenue: and by care
ful attention to the work. as knowl
edge increases. the scope OF the In
dustry may be extended. rn
There are a number OF farms In this
country today that are devoted exclu-
sively to raising ducks. averaging
from 5000 to 10000 ducks as an an
nual output. An idea of the proper
tions OF the business may be had from
the fact that as high rs three tons Of
feed are used daily by a single raiser
during the busy season. The profits
are the very best. and good incomes
may be made when once the business
is thoroughly mastered.
But the reader should not Jump to
the conclusion that these results can
be easily obtained. Duck raising Is
an arduous task-one that requires an
apprenticeship and absolute knowi.
edge OF the business before success Is
reached. Those who have been sue
cessful in raising ducks have learned
the business much as one does any
other vocation. The beginner should
start modestly. and increase his plant
as his knowledge Of the work in.
creases.
The average farmer has all the IA.
cilities for raising goodly number of
ducks. and may. with n little outlay.
add considerably TO his income.
II is not at all necessary that ducks
have access to water to be raised sue
cessfully. for they grow and thrive
as readily without. There are sue
cessful plants where thousands OF

difference between upland and water
ducks is that the latter are OF pret-
tier and cleaner plumage than the
former.
A duck plant should be located on
n line of railroad in direct communi-
cation with the city markets. and not
too far from the station. Almost any
location will do for the plant, and
worn-out land that can be had cheap
will do as we'll as the richer and more
fertile land costing several times as
much. Sandy soil is to be preferred.
The buildings should be arranged to
secure. good drainage and be convent
ent to each other. that labor may be
reduced to a minimum. The labor
attached to raising poultry is an item
that is overlooked by many. and the
cost of 1t often reduces very notably
the earnings Of the plant.
Houses for ducks are simple af-
fairs. They are built plain and COM
Portable. and have no furnishings
whatever. A duck Is differently con-
stituted from a hen. and must be
cared for under different conditions.
The hen needs warmer houses and
drier surroundings than does the
duck. A duck will not mind the cold
