LETTER

Brier Rose, West and South, July Is
Editor Tribune:
When land is good and prices
good,
IT'S Heaven only knows
The sense displayed by standing
round
And spouting out your woes!
Would you know q chronic kick
er II you we're to meet one In broad
daylight?
have now arrived at the con-
clusion that ever since Adam kicked
and made excuses because Eve fed
him the forbidden fruit. 1t has been
an inherent failing, Of certain spe-
cies Of the human family to be
subject to these chronic aflictions.
The unfortunate persons who are
afflicted with this mental derange-
ment find are never at a loss for
an object Of attack. Either there
are no markets. produce cannot be
produced, irrigation requires the
converting Of man into. a ground
hog, prohibition Is worse than sa-
looms, or somebody has a crouch be-
cause at some forgotten date in
the annals Of ancient history some
other unknown parsonage wrote and
published an article in which he was
accused Of perpetrating the awful
and heinous crime of attempted
murder to the country's develop
ment by absolutely refusing to do
nate the right of way for certain
interurban line. When a real es-
tate man told him that the above
mentioned electric line would make
his place worth $500 per acre this
worthy gentleman informed the de-
luded seller Of Idaho dirt that the
soundness of his veracity did not
correlate with the accuracy of his
statement. This, however, be-
lieve he accomplished with fewer
words and in a much more compre-
hensive fashion.
This is only one instance of show
ing the absurd grounds upon which
the crouch is generally based. They
are merely subjects Of talk more
than anything else. in fact. I have
invariably noticed that the ranches
of such gentlemen are among the
most prosperous looking that I Wis
It.
w. E. Brigham has just moved
into this locality from the coast.
He is in love with the dairy busi-
ness and will specialize In that
phase Of farm life. Since he came
from dairy country he may be
expected to know a good dairy COW
when he sees one and consequent
ly his herd will be a No. INSTALL
ment.
J. A. Springer and J. r. Wittig
are the bee men of the territory.
Mr.. Springer has 1870 colonies and
they are all in first class order and
doing fne. At the corner of his
house he also has an apple tree up
on which he has grated IS of the
leading varieties of apples and one
Bartlett pear. He Is thus enabled
to sit in the shade of the old apple
tree and enjoy this luscious fruit
fresh from the tree from June to
November.
Mr.. Wittig has his bees arranged
In four or Ave long rows, entrances
facing east. When I arrived there
he was busy in the apiary, and in
attempting to come within speak
Ing distance was suddenly hailed
hind end foremost by one of the
contrary little insects. do love
the product Of the busy little bee,
but oh. his implement Of warfare!
Thus. amidst the tears of physical
anguish. wendell my way city
ward and for two days thereafter I
was blear-eyed and bloated-faced-
the most perfect specimen of that
travelling band Of Weary Wiilies
that has ever been on exhibition
to public eye Of Canyon county.
