After the colt has been permanent

and udder should be given a thin coat

to break out and get with the mare the
soap would not be at all inviting for 1t
to take hold of, and is apt to prevent
it from sucking.

ONLY A MONTH AWAY
Big Campaign In Boies viii Be In
Action In a Very Short Time

The S-day campaign of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement in
Boise Is now only month away. 1t
will cover the period from February
10 to February Is. During that time
some Of the greatest men in their re-
spective lines will be heard daily In
the capital city. Many meetings will
be held each day Arrangements for
these are being perfected, and they
promise to be of the very highest in
terest. They will appeal to all class
es, and none who can attend should
miss the oppornuityt to do so.
1t is the understanding that special
rates will be made by the railways
for the occasion, and there seems no
reason why a great many people
from all the southern part Of the state
should not be on hand to hear the
messages of the men who are to ap-
pear.

Reverend Mason was called to offici-

remains of the little daughter Of Rev.
and Mrs. Thomas H. Gilbert, pastor
of the Congregational churches at
Rockland and Landing. Little Ruth
Abb Gilbert was sick of typhoid pneu-
monia only from Friday to Monday,
New Years day when she left for the
heavenly home, at the young age OF
6 years, months and days. The
parting from her older and only little
sister seems especially sad. The |.
O. 0. f. made every arrangement for
the funeral services, and the people
showed tender sympathy and every
attention. The parents meet this
great sorrow with commendable peace
and trust.

A dispatch from Washington Tues.
day announced that William Balder-
ston had been renominated register
Of the Boise land office by President
Taft, and the nomination sent to the
senate for confirmation.
Mr.. Balderston has held this posi-
tion for four years, and during his in.

increased greatly over that of any

come much more complicated, owing

the forest reserves, the coal lands
and oil lands.
Many extremely important decisions
have been rendered by Mr.. Balder-
ston during his term Of office, which
have been upheld by the general land
office. 1t is understood that Fred v.
Tinker will be renominated as receiv-
er Of the land office, position which
he has held for four years Also

CONTEST FOR
POWER SITE
Beaver River and the Kuhn Company
In Dispute over Malad Site

The state engineer has granted the
Great Shoshone and Twin Falls
Water Power Company until jan
uary the 18th in which to file ad-
ditional affidavits in it's contest
against the Beaver River Power COM
pany, and it is expected that shortly
after that time the battle for control
of power rights on the Malad River
will be fought to a finish. The Great
Shoshone company is seeking to have
cancelled the permit under which the
Beaver River company is now operat'
ing on the stream on theground that
the defendant company has not done
the amount of work required under
the law.
The Beaver River Company Is op-
Grating on the Malad under per-
init granted by the state to A. M.
Wrench on February %, 1909. The
law requires that under that permit
one-fifth of the development work
should have been completed by Aug
ust %, 1911. To have done one-fifth
of the work the Beaver River COM
pany should have spent 100000 by
that time.
The Beaver River Company has an
swered that affidavit with two docu'
ments in rebuttal, one Of them an
affidavit signed by George F. Hal
liday, the auditor for the company,
declaring that over 100000 has been
spent, the other an affidavit by Rob-
ert Fairbanks, the engineer for the
company, who swears that the com.
pany has done considerably NOR work
than Is required under the law, that
1900 horsepower will be developed
by the Malad river plant, and that
the plant will be completed and gen.
Grating power within thirty days. The
line is now completed from the plant
to Glenns Ferry.
Should the Great Shoshone COM
pany succeed in getting the Beaver
River concerns rights cancelled, 1t
is believed that it will Immediately
take possession of the waters of the
stream for power purposes.
Heavy double constructed lines have
been builtduring the past six months
from lower Salmon Falls to Mountain
Home, taking in the towns of Glenns
Ferry, Bliss. King Hill, Ticeska and
Hammett, total distance of seven
ty-five miles. The line Is now being
rushed twenty-five miles further west
to Grand View where two large pump
ing plants are to be installed be-
fore April firstof the current year.

MOTHER DESERTS
HER CHILDREN
Home is Found for Four Children
Abandoned BY Mother After Spend
ing Their Inheritance.

Rev. o. P. Christian will leave on
No. 18 due to arrive sometime this
evening for Minneapolis where he will
take four little girls from the Chill
dren's Home, who will be cared for
in the future by their aunt, sister
of their father, who died about two
years ago.
The father, at his death, left in
surance to the amount of $500 in
favor of the children and $500 In
favor of their mother, but In consid-
erably less than two years the mother
had run through not only her own
$1,000 but also the $1,000 belonging
to the children, had married another
man, under an assumed name, and
had abandoned her four bright, little
girls to their fate.
Rev. Christian received his first in
timation of the affair, when one
day last September, four little girls
ranging in ages from A to II years,
arrived in the city bearing an old en-
velope across the back of which had
been written the simple words:
please care for these children. ;"
The envelop was addressed to the
Children's Home.
1t appears that the mother, desir-
GUS Of getting rid of her little girls,
had bundled them onto Short Line
train. with tickets and with the above
curt note addressed to the Childrens s
Home in Boise, and that she had
then disappeared completely. Rev.
Christian has searched the country
over, but has failed to find any trace
Of theunnatural mother. He did,
however, locate a sister of the dead
father in Minneapolis and she has
consented to furnish ahome for the
children. The railroads have kindly
consented to furnish free transportat-
ion for Rev. Christian and the little
tots, and they will be taken to their
aunt.
Never, in all my experience in
this work, have found sweeter,
brighter, more downright little ladies'
than these four little girls" said
Rev. Christian today. II can hardly
understand how they came by such
sweet ways, such nice manners, from
such a mother, but I am informed
that the father was an elegant gentle
man; that he came from a good
family and this may have been their
redemption. His sister, upon being
informed of the situation, expressed
a willingness to care for them ,and
have been satisfied by inquiry that
she is fitted to do so and l am,
therefore, taking them to her in
Minneapolis. Capital News.
