mate but we considered IL long
ways from our homes in Idaho
and at present we did not take
hold Of it because there were
many things regarding all situa-
tons which were not shining
enough to us. When we had fin
ished our examination we return
ed to Mexico City by the way Of
Cordoba This we considered the
richest section Of all we had seen
in the sunny south, it being the
sugar and coffee country as well
as the home Of other tropical
products.
There are a great many other

some items on a little different
situation than that Of the Mex.

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

The special meetings at the
Baptist church were we'll attend
ed all last week, Notwithstanding
the Indictment weather, and the
special attractions that were in
town The meetings SO far are
a decided success, and we look
for good results to come from
these meetings.. Sunday was a
day long to be remembered by
the many that did attend the
meetings.. A good spirit pre-
vailed in the church all day. The
evangelist preached three times
to large audiences. In the men s
meeting in the afternoon, over
125 were there to listen to the ex-
periencc Of sinner saved BY
Grace. One man raised his hand
for prayer. In the evening the
church was packed, even to the
calling in of every available seat
in the church, and it was surely
grand meeting. The meetings
will continue right along until
further notice, except Saturday
night.

VISIT TO OLD MEXICO.

Mr.. Editor-If you will allow
a little space in the columns of
your paper / will say few
things about our trip in the hot
tamala land of Mexico. AS we
went along down the line we
first stopped at Columbus colony
and there we met with Charley
Chase, man from this part of
the world who gave us great
deal of information about that
part of the country and his home
colony which perhaps was the
largest colony that we learned of.
There was in the neighborhood
of one hundred fifty Americans
located there. They were seem
ingly satisfied, but they were a
little unlucky this last fall on ac-
count of an unexpected frost
which was killing to their late
crops. After twentyfour hours
of stay there we journeyed on
to the town of Tampico on the
west coast of the Gulf of Mexico
where we played in the ocean
water. We consider that place
will be a good town. After a
night and almost day we head
ed for Mexico City which was a
long ride on the train and car
ried us through a lot of desert
and poor country till we reached
the capital where we spent a
night and day with open eyes
sizing up what we considered
some of the most curious sights
we had ever seen. 1t looked to
be very ancient old town with
its many curious sights. After
our visit here we boarded night
train for Vera Cruz in company
with all our Grangeville crowd
numbering seven men, included
were Sasenbery, Zehner, O'Shea
two Alexanders, Wann and
iraham. We went through some
cool country the fore part of the
night. Those who had overcoats
hunted them up, but when by
morning we were at a much lower
elevation and we noticed big
change in the weather, for it was
raining and we were in the trop-
zeal climate where frost had never
been, for everything was green
and it looked like perpetual sum
mer. There we began to see the
tropical fruits and nuts. We
reached Vera Cruz before noon
which seemed to be lovely eli
mate. We then went south and
east till we reached Medina about
z o'clock p. M We were met at
the stopping of the train by sew
eral of Medina American citi-
Gems. They greeted us joyfully
and escorted us to the hotel
where we felt safe to rest with
our own kind Of people. There
for some days we enjoyed the
best of summer climate and par
took of the Christmas dinner with
Mr.. Miles and family. Their col
ony numbers strong hundred of
Americans who seemed healthy
and happy with their tropical
climate and fruits. We also spent
a day in the Buena Vista lands,
an adjoining colony to the east
of Medina.

Prominent Mining Men to Gather

Meetings are being held daily by the
committees in charge of the details of
preparation for the coming convention
in Spokane of the mining men of the
Northwest. The annual reports of
mining corporations are showing much
improvement in conditions, and there is
now an increasing interest in the posi-
bilities ahead for the mining industry.
Among the speakers of national rep
utation who have already sent in their
acceptance are Governors Hay, of Wash
ington, and Hawley, of Idaho. Seattle,
Tacoma and Butte will send strong
delegations, and the Arctic Club, of
Seattle, will be represented by dele

The Annual ByIIesby Convention

The annual convention of II. M.
Byllesby & Co. and affiliated companies
marked the tenth anniversary of this
Chicago firm, managers and engineers
of public utilities. The convention
lasted four days, starting Jan. 2, and
was held at the Congress Hotel, Chi
cago. About 300 delegates were in at
tendance. Among the prominent men
outside of the organization who ac-
copied invitations to be present were
Thomas A. Edison, President c. E.
Coffin, of the General Electric Co. !;
Samuel insult, B. E. Sunny and Geo.B.
Caldwell, all of Chicago; T. c. Martin,
secretary of the National Electric Light
Association, and J. R. Mckee, of New

important utility groups, serving ap-
proximately 125 municipalities through
out II states in the south and west,
among their corporations being the
Northern Idaho & Montana Power Co.,

and success of the concern are consid-
cred phenomenal and said to be due, in
large measure, to the high ideals of

Force of Lightning.

1t is hardly possible to use instru-
ments for the purpose Of figuring the
forces Of lightning, yet there are many
other ways of calculating familiar to
every mathematician. The amount
of light given by a single lightning
fash is enough to illuminate an area
of two square miles The bolt itself
would be visible several miles further
off, but the remotest part Of the re-
gion mentioned would have as much
light as would be given by a candle
quite enough to read by. To produce
such light it would be necessary to
expend 10000 horsepower for a Sec
ond. These figures appear very large,
but the time is short. The flash might
be for only one-thousandth of Sec
ond. but the impression On the eye
would continue for a tenth Of a Sec
ond anyway. Figured down to an
exact hour this amount Of force would
mean only about four horsepower

Report of Fires in National Forest

The Kaniksu National Forest went
through the year without experiencing
forest fire of any great extent. There
were total of 81 fires reported and
combatted, the origin of the fires being
attributed to the following causes: From
lightning, A. brush burning, 8; campers,
A; unknown causes, 5.
The total number of acres Of Ma
tional Forest lands burned over was
1874, of which 104 acres were in timbered
area and 80 acres of open area. Three
acres of privately owned lands within
the boundaries of the Forest were also
burned over.
The total amount of timber destroyed
or damaged was only 78, 900 feet, with
an appraised valuation of 1926.
The total cost of fighting fire for the
year was $685.. Sc, of which sum $1O98. Sc
was spent for temporarily employed
labor, $211.4O for guard and ranger
labor, 1882. 80 for tools, supplies, trans
pOrtatlon, etc., and S6O.8O Tor laDor IN
cooperation with private parties in
fighting fires.
It is the belief and the hope of the
National Forest people that conditions
in the National Forest are such that the
great fires of 1910 will never be dupli-
Gated, no matter how favorable the
season for the spread of fires. The Ma
tional Forests are being equipped with
telephones and trails and guarded so
that fire is discovered nearly as soon as
it breaks out. The big companies are
adopting similar precautions, and it is
hoped that the Northwest will never
again see repetition of the horrors of
the forest fires of 1910.

1t is shown by reports submitted to
Governor Hay that the state depart
ments and institutions during the year
1911 were run more economically than
ever before, and also with greater
degree of efficiency than ever before,
but the governor is not satisfied with
this, but declares that he wants even a
better showing made in 1912, as he says
that the state is entitled to get dol
lars worth for every dollar expended,
and that there should be the maximum
of efficiency with the minimum of ex-
pense.

says J. B. Baker. l could easily dem
onstrate this fact, but we have not
time here. nor do think it necessary,
as 1t is almost self evident. Granted.
then. that parks, parkings. clean
streets and everything else that goes
to make up the City Beautiful do add
much to the pleasure, happiness, NOR
ais and health of the people, are these
not reasons enough to inspire every
city, town and village to go to work
at once to secure these things? But
shall pass over all these good reasons
mercial side of the subject. From the
standpoint of the dollar. parks do pay.
and they pay big.
Kansas City is a notable example of
what has been done in the last few
years. Ten or twelve years ago the
ing had been done to beautify their
town and attract the home builder and
business man. They quickly adopted
plan for the city and worked out sys
tenn of parks and boulevards, costing
$9,OOO,OOO. Already it has proved to be
a profitable investment, and they are
getting back in increased taxes, due to
the enhancement of values. more than
enough to justify the outlay. In open
ing some of the first parks and boule-
wards they had to fight their way by
condemnation proceedings, ETC., but 1t
was soon seen that In whatever part of
town these Improvements were going
on property increased in value, so that
it was not long before every part Of
the town was clamoring for such i'm
provements. in some cases even offer
ing to pay for them. Today the people
Of Kansas City are enthusiastic over
their civic improvements. and they say
that parks pay.
What has been the case in Kansas
City has also been true in many other
places. After studying this question
for several years | am convinced that
the average town or city is not indiffer-
ent to these things. but they simply
don't know how to make start. If
only few enthusiastic, public spirited
hearts they will soon find a way.
OF course the best results cannot be
attained in one or two years. 1t takes
time, and the people should not become
impatient. I would say to all towns
desiring parks. ETC.:
First.-Employ a good architect to
make plan.
Second.-Devise ways and means to
secure funds.
Third.-Secure land for parks as
early as possible. large tracts on the
outskirts and several small tracts in
the thickly settled neighborhoods
Fourth.-Go to work Systematically
and intelligently to beautify the
grounds.
Fifth.-Don't expect everything to
be done in one or two years 1t takes
time to do these things. and no doubt
mistakes will be made. 1t would be
remarkable If they were not But If
the proper start be made and honest
and interested men are managing it
they can hardly fail to obtain good re-
suits In the end.
In conclusion would emphasize the
fact that if town expects to attract
people it must make itself attractive.
In this day and time no intelligent
man cares to live in town lacking in
beauty and health, and the towns that
make the best increases in population
In the next ten or twenty years will
tQrO0lU hot IN To
make themselves attractive by civic
improvements.

The old idea Of parks was that they
are luxuries and are chiefly for those
who had time and taste to enjoy the

afford parks was regarded much in the
same light as rich man who pos

of art These were obtained chiefly to
crafty the pride of the owner or to
crafty the taste Of the family and
