We have caught it again. Thursday
night and a part of the next day very

XIV River was nearly as high as 1t was
three years ago.. Before, all of iron
bridges, excepting the four columns
unon which it rested, and the wooden
approaches to it were swept away.
This time the iron bridge, so far as
now known is not damaged. Five OF
the steel arches on this side of it were
washed off, but are close by. If course
as the bridge is now, it is of no esr-
vice and we need the help that the
Road Supervisor can alone give us
and it is needed at once.

time in which to end their days jour-

given them, especially when the mail

Movin StalrWays,

The advantages Of moving stair
ways include the following: (a) There
is no waiting. (b) The service is con.
tinuous throughout traffic hours.
(c) Passengers are carried practically
to the point Of their destination, and
the necessity for long connecting pas
sageways is thus avoided. (d) Nov
ing stairways can deliver the same
number Of people for a short or long
rise, whereas with lifts the capacity
is dependent on the number Of lifts
and the depths of the shafts. (e) In
case Of breakdown passengers can
walk up a moving stairway as up an
ordinary staircase.

important Thing to Know.

1t is easy to understand why the ma
ton is willing that millions be spent
On a weather bureau. If We can only
foretell through weather experts,
goose bone prophets, corn husk prog
n]osticators or in any other way just
what the weather will be from day
to day, living will be made a great
deal easier for us all. We can get the
hay in out Of that thunderstorm or
hold up that shipment Of ~perishable
stuff that a solid freeze and zero
weather will utterly ruin.

Suhiect of Prime lmportance.

Weather is the one topic Of CONVEX
sation that never grows out Of date.
We are almost as nearly at the mercy
Of the sunshine, the rain and the snow
storm as we were q century ago.
Therefore We always scan the sky
when we get up in the morning. 1t Is
almost instructive, ever with the city
dweller. No farmer fails to take a
long look at the sky when he first
rises, for on the weather will depend
his activities during the day.

Tbrouoh the Swiss Mountains.

At Bevieux (Old Bex), among the
Alps. the railroad passes the rocksalt
mines. from which the Swiss govern
ment brochures most of the salt whose
sale is a government monopoly, and
often sold only by the local postmas-
ter, who deals not only in stamps, but
In salt. At this point a toothed rail
is brought into play, and the gradient
RAPIDLY increases, as the cars pass
through woods of walnuts and chest
here an important item of the

Preferred jail to Marriage.

A country Judge In England has just
delivered the most sentimental decis-
ion ever heard Of in his particular
neck of the woods" He told a bur-
glar he would suspend sentence on
him If he would agree to marry and
settle down or get a dog or canary
in order to have something to work
for. Oddly enough, the burglar could
mt see it that way, and took a years
Imprisonment instead.

a dollars service for the state for
every dollar paid in taxes. This is
pure Jeffersonian Democracy.
l stood, during the 1911 session and
the special session, where l have
stood for the past ten years, to-wit;

and have never hesitated to attack
spite bills, fake bills, sand bagging
bills, hold UP and Matchmaking bills
and bills to aid some case in court or
some case that would shortly come
into court, also have never hesitated
to attack corporations that had failed
in their duty to the public.
Granted that the mines of Shoshone
County do not pay a just proportion
of taxes and that the passage of the
mining bill, which I opposed and the
Senator from Twin Falls advocated
would not have materially affected
the paying mines of that county; but
what however, of Owyhee. Gilmore,
! Boise, Custer, Blaine, Idaho and Bon
ner counties in which there are prac-
tically no paying Mines but in which
millions are being expended annually
in development work? Do you mag
inc the mining investing public would
come to Idaho and develop mines and
pay taxes on three and one half times
the net output when our sister mining
states, with equal opportunities,
only tax the net output?
The result of such legislation
would be to destroy the mining in
dustry; throw thousands of men out
of employment; drive hundreds of
prospectors from the hills and ruin
the ranchers who sell their produce
to the mines; all of which should
meet with your approval for what
difference does it make to the radical
that thousands suffer provided he can
put few corporations out of bust
ness? My vote on this bill represent
ed the unanimous sentiment of my
county; but is, in your opinion, pre-
corporation.
Demagogic attacks upon men whose
investments have made possible oul
