WHEN WIRELESS is
REALLY PERFECTED

When the great engineer who swung
the first suspension bridge over Niagara
river, below the falls, began work, he
first caused kite to fly over the river.
To the kite was attached fine cord.
When thas was caught on the opposite
bank, small rope was attached to it
and by the string the rope was drawn
across. To that a heavier rope was at
tached and the heavy rope was drawn
over; and so at last great hempen cable
was suspended over the river, and at
last one of the steel cables of the bridge
was drawn over and anchored.
Other cables fowlled and finally the
great structure took form and loaded
trains were for many years transported
on that tremendous network of steel.
Now when we read Of wireless dis
patch being received, we say to ourselves:
"The great engineerSs flying his kite, that
string will be caught up at last, heavier
one will be drawn by it; then there will
come the hempen cable; later a new
structure will take form and after that,
when the chasm is safely bridged, we
shall be getting messages from those we
loved in the long ago."
Is there anything unreal or intangible
in tnat supposition? We believe those
friends exist somewhere; they seem won
derfully near us at times; their messages
must use electricity for their agent; wait
until the chasm is bridged and the stations
established at either end Of the bridge
and then what will there be to break the
connection?
Ought we not to be sending our souls
to school to study the signals that those
sublimated souls may even now be striv.
ing to make to US? Think what it will
do for mankind, if that system can bur
be perfected. No more sorrow or des

The RETAIL MERCHANT
CAN BEAT NAIL ORDER S

The retail merchant has a great
deal to learn from the study OF
mail order catalogues, one or
more Of which decorate the tables
in many homes. Let them learn
how it is that foreign concerns
can come in under their noses and
get the order for things that can
be bought to better advantage
at home.
Where the catalogue wins over
the poorly written advertisement,
is in defitness of description. The
frequent cuts help enormously.
But even where the cut is used,
somebody takes trouble to des-
cribe the fabrics, the appearance,
the designs of the goods, so
clearly that the reader thinks he
can see just how they look.
Could he but see the same goods
with his own eyes in the home
stores and ask a few questions
about them, he would be apt to
find some defect which the clever
catalogue writer carefully omit
ed to speak about.
But the host of orders these
catalogues draw out shows what
can be done, against the hanhi-
caps Of distance and public
suspicion, by terse, straightfor
ward conversational description
OF goods, plus statement ofprices.
But any merchant can beat
the catalogue houses in many
ways. What he needs to do is
to tell the people about his goods.
and prices.
And there is no other way of
doing this hall SO effectively as
through the columns of the news
papers which the people subscribe
for and read.

pair over death beds; no more friends
lost; they have but taken a little journey;
no more speculation of what is to be;

bodies may cast off their old clothing
when it becomes too much worn, and put

sphere Of perpetual day, for there is no
night there. "-Goodwins Weekly.

State horticultural Inspector
J. U. Mcpherson returned to his
office a few days ago after a hur-
ried trip into some Of the locali-
ties reported to be infested with
this pest. He found the willows
along the Snake, the Boise, the
Payette and the Wei-er fairly
Teeking with San Jose scale in
many localities. He came back
to his office with grim determi-
nation to wage rentless war on
this tree pest even if it became
necessary to destroy every willow
in the state to accomplish his
purpose.
"What is the use," he said, sin

their fruit trees forcoddling moth

are permitted to multiply in
countless numbers on the willows
and spread from there to all ad-

ton 15 OF the new law, and /
propose to exercise all the power
given me. 1t is a misdemeanor
to permit such pests to exist, even
on willow trees, and | propose to
keep after them as long as the
funds at my disposal hold out"
Inspector Mcpherson said also
that he was pushing the inspec-
tion of orchards by his deputies
to determine whether or not the
law had been complied with in
regard to spraying fruit trees for
coddling moth and scale.
The first test case under the
new law will be that of John
Hughes at Emmett, Hughes
has a small orchard at Emmett.
He refused to spray even after
Having been notified to do so.
Inspector Mcpherson says he has
his eye on,a numbereven in Boise
valley who will be prosecuted to
the limit of the law for neglect or
refusal to spray.
"This is all nonsense, all this
talk about damage to fruit in
this state, Inspector Mcpherson
said. Except in a few isolated
spots there will be all the fruit
the trees will bear, venture to
say that the fruit will have to be
thinned out in most places.
These silly reports about great
damage to fruit from frosts
should not be permitted to go
broadcast. They injure the state
They are badly exaggered where
they have any foundation at all. "
