when I got clear to the top Of the
stairs and Sister Matte was tuggin'
at my arm and tryin' to make me hur-

did was to get my best hat and put It
on and then I put on my white shoes
and my kimono, too, because Sister

Grazing Fees to

RAISERs OF THIS SECTION.

Information has been received
from the Washington Office that
the rate per head for grazing on

one and one half cents on sheep
and proportionate reductions in
cattle rates will also be made for
the coming season.

Big Stir in
Real Estate.
NEW TowNsITE PROPOSED.

Within the last few DAYS a big
stir in real estate has been made
by some parties reported to be
from California offering to buy
ranches of Mrs. A. c. Worthing-
ton, Jacob Dayley, B. p. Howells,
the David w alker place now own
ed by L. A. Critchfield and the
Light Air Park Grounds for the
purpose of cutting them up into
town lots.
z Thus far the deal has not gone
through and it will be some time
before it is definitely settled as
the parties who. now own the
land is not favorable to selling
unless it is a cash deal although
there is probality that if the
company, who by the way have
Just filed their articles of incor-
poration with the state of Idaho,
will take a hold of this proposit-
ion and cut the land up in five
acre tracts and sell it that way
that the proposition may be con
sumated shortly.
All Of this property lies on the
north of the town and is very
suitable for horticultural pur
poses.
AS there are already a great
many lots FOR sale on the soutf
of town it is not very likely that
another addition of lots woulc
sell as readily as if placed in five
acre tracts, and offered for fruit
raising, besides this section offer:
more natural inducements thar
any place in Southern Idaho fol
the profitable culture of fruit.
Why should not the slogan b.
adopted for this section that i
is the best in the West for tn,
cultivation and growth of al
crops requiring intense cultivat
ion with large returns. Oul
quality of soil and natural sur
roundings and excellent location
iust1hes this standard of adver
tising.

Choosing a Farm.

There are two primary consid-
erations in choosing any farm.
The first IS the location and the
second is the character ofthe farm
itself. We shall only write of the
location at this time.
Having found your farm, what
are eits surroundings? Does it have
or is it likely to have rural free
delivery? This is important. for
nowadays the live farmer must
keep daily pace with the market
quotations, new agricultural
ideas and the progress Of the
times in general. Is there a rail-
way or a trolley line close by?
Produce must move, form in the
successful disposal of this lies the
value of land. Then, too, the
progressive farmer and his family
must get away from the farm now
now and then, not only for a
breathlng spell, but to mingle
with others and to renew their
inspiration as well as to gather
new ideas from those more succ-
essful.
Is there church close by, and
what support does the commun-
ity give it. or is the devil at work
with jealous factions? The public
spiritedness of a community will
always ray out In the quality of
public building, and the interest
and intelligence of a community
may be judged by the quality of
| its ministers and teachers, while
one may not care to attend
church, yet good churches will
have a tremendous influence on
the character of a neighborhood
Especially will one find good
schools in such neighborhoods,
possibly a consolidated school If
village is not too close. What
other social advantages are there.
such as libraries, lecture courses,
reading cources and social gath
erings? Don't overlook these
factors in choosing the place for
for your business and residence.
What market faculties have you
and does the market require the
kind of produce which is suited to
your soil and climate? The quality

New Year.

With the opening of the new
year Mr.. Tohn C. Clark, son-in-
law of Mr.. Worthington, as
sumes the management OF the
''Store OF Quality" with a clean

Mr. Clark has had considerable

Mr.. Worthington will retain

spring time approaches.

Various persons, this past season and previously, have raised them ill small numbers. The problem is hence we'll worthy of further experiment., though it is not very likely that the species can. for some time to come, be propagated on a commercial scale.
 The quail, then, is the. native species which should be emphasized in Con- nenticut for artificial increase. At the same time, for immediate and abundant result for sportsmen, it would be we'll to propagate some other pecies which can be reared in large numbers. Is there such?

PEACE DELEGATES HAVING HARD TIME
Absence of GreoCa'S Signature
 Causes Adjournment :.
NO BUSINESS IS TRANSACTED

Second Day's Meeting Adjourned to
 Give the Turkish Plenipotentiaries
 Chance to Receive instructions From
 Government-Greeee May Have to
 Sign Armistiee.
 An obstacle was encountered by the plenipotentiaries of the Balkan allies and of che Ottoman empire who gath cred in London to negotiate peace. The absence of Greece's signature to the armistiCe protocol was the cause of the hitch n the proceedings. and the delegates foAnd it necessary to ad- journ without etTCcting any real busi- ness.
 After their adjournment Dr. $. Da. netf, the leader of the Bulgarian dele gation, confirmed the report that the question of the protocol had been un' der discussion without a decision be- ing reached.
 It ig understood that the powers of the Turkish plenipotentiaries do not authorize them to recognize the Hell lenic delegates unless Greece signs the armlstice. and therefore they were obliged to refer the matter to Constan- tiople before proceeding with the con- ference.
 The Greek representatives refused to sign the protocol when invited to do so, pointing out that 1t would make no practical difference, as the allies were united and the decisions reached by the members of the Balkan league would be binding on Greece equally with the other memberr of the fedora ton.
 The credentials of the peuce dele gates of the Balkan allies and of Tur key give them full power us pleuipo- tentiaries. They can therefore not only negotiate for peace. but, if they come to an arrangement. can conclude and sign 1t.
 In speaking on the subject of for. eign mediation in Balkan affairs Sto- jan Novakovitch. the head of the Ser vian delegation, said:
 The choice of the United States as me- diator would be an excellent one. The only fears in this connection are tbat the distance of the United States from the scene and its lack of knowledge of the different complex problems agitating the Balkan peoples might hamper its action, while q European country would find It. self in readier condition, having for years followed the aspirations of the different races constituting the Balkan family.

This was plainly an infringe. ment of Editor George Woodruff's pat ented and copyrighted prerogative, but MT. Woodruff let it pass and went the new president one better by proposing a toast to the Stoeckels in original poetry, which brought the company up all standing again.
