Mining men in the southern
and southeastern parts of the state
have noticed numerous indications
of valuable coal, clay and cement
deposits. The geological formation
seems to be the same as in the
nearby Wyoming coal districts.
Some coal has already been discov-
cred, but I am sure that survey
would reveal other valuable de-
posts. There are undoubtedly
within the borders of Idaho good
cement. materials, excellent build
ing and ornamental stone, clay for
making brick, drain tile, sewer
pipe and terra Gotta and states for
roofing purposes. The discovery
and use of these would serve the
double purpose of providing cheap
er materials for construction and of
establishing new industries in the
state. -

To say that the merchants and all

not possibly be otherwise.

ever increasing demand for everything

as the farmer can supply It The in

ROAD RULES.

The roadmakers OF our coun-
try could copy to advantage tho
methods used in England, which
country is noted for it's excellent
highways. The English road
man has a list Of instructions
which he follows in the care Of
the roadways. The principal
rules, which will be found useful
to the rosdmakers of this coun-
try, are as follows;
Never allow a hollow, a rut or
a puddle to remain on a road,
but fill il up at once with chips
: from the stone heap.
Always use chips for patching
and for all repairs during tho
> summer months.
Never put fresh stones on tho
. road il by crosspiokins and a
: thorough use of the rake the
surface can BIO made smooth
and kept at the proper strength
= and section.
Remember that tho rake is tho
. most useful tool in your oollec-
: ton and that il should be kept
close at hand tho whole year
. round.
: Do not spread large patch Of
: road, but coat tho middle or
. horse track first, and when this
: has worn in coat each of the
: sides in turn.
. In moderately dry weather and
: on hard road always pick up tho
! old surface into ridges six inches
] apart and remove all projecting
! stones before applying a nav
/ coating.
! Never shoot stones on the road
|. and crack them where they lie
I or a smooth surface will be out
!. of the question.

WANTS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Prof. Stewart Urges Such Course
Would Greatly Benefit Idaho

NNA&1 os<@.J 1<a~ss@ st@<@
That state geological survey
would be of great benefit to the agri-
cultural and mining interests of
Idaho is the belief of Prof. G. A.
Stewart of the department of geol-
ogy of the state university Soil
maps showing the agricultural pos
sibilities of different sections of the
state and water supply investiga-
tons are two ways in which the
agricultural interests would be
benefited" he said. The college
of agriculture is constantly receiv-
ing inquiries about soil conditions
in different localities that cannot
now be answered except upon per-
sonal knowledge, which, of course,
cannot extend to every bit of
ground in the state. A movement
to establish a state bureau of soils
was started years ago but was
abandoned because of a lack of
geological knowledge of the state.
Soil is formed by the decomposition
of rock, different rocks giving diff
ferent soils, and so soil surveys can
be made only when the geology of
district is understood.
I discussed the proposition
with many of the most prominent
engineers of the country at the re-
cent meeting of the American Min
ing congress, and they were unan-
imously of the opinion that a
survey would stimulate the mining
industry of Idaho. Few prospec-
tors have sufficient knowledge of
mineralogy and geology to get the
best results from their efforts. The
most experienced are constantly
finding rocks and minerals which
they cannot identify. They should
be able to send these to an expert
for free Identification and for an
opinion of their possible value.
Valuable veins are usually found
in certain formations and a survey
could point out the favorable for
nations.
After an ore deposit is located
the profitable mining of it depends
upon the understanding of the
geology of the district. All large
companies find that it pays to EN-
ploy an expert geologist. A state
survey would help the small oper
ator."
y Another great service would be
in giving outside investors an idea
of Idaho's wonderful minera
wealth. We have rich resource.
but need more publicity to attract
capital for their development. A
properly administered geological
survey has the confidence of min
ing men and its opinions are &C
cepted at face value. Engineer
sent to examine properties can d.
their work more quickly and repor
more confidently when they hav,

THE LARGEST YOUNG WOMEN'S
CONFERENCE.

The largest Young Women's Confer
ence ever held at Mortified is now in
session. The Misses McMaster's School
of Dohbs Ferry has the largest delega-
ton, with 60 girls. The Cathedral School
of Washington, D. c., the Westover
School, the Pennington School, and dele
cations from all the large cities of the
East and small groups from many other
schools make up total of over 900.
Men are tabooed on the Campus, but
the girls, not at all dismayed, have or
gained two ball teams, which have al
ready played spectacular game have
held a most exciting track meet with
singing and cheering galore, and are
running off tennis tournament They
devote all the morning to Bible and mis-
sion study, and give up the afternoons to
recreation. Rev. F. B. Meyer of London
is at present giving six days course on
the application of the story of Exodus
to modern life, and many other promi-
nent speakers are present.
All the buildings are crowded, and
Gould Hall, which is being used for the
first time this season. promises to be the
most popular house during the General
Conference in August, when such speak
ers as Rev. G. A. Johnston Ross of New
York City, Rev. Charles Brown of Lon
don, Rev. F. w. Gunsaulus of Chicago,
ard Rev. G. Glenn Atkins of Providence
will be present.
Without pause the Conferences con-
tinue during this month. As soon as the
girls leave, the Women's Missionary So
cieties take possession, which in turn are
followed by the Home Missionary Con-
ference and the summer school for Sun
day school workers.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF
GARDN TRUCK.

In the current issue of Farm and Fire
side, John R. Spears, writing an article
entitled 1.-The Making of Market Gar
dener," shows how the ordinary man
who takes up truck farming can manage
his affairs SO as to yield profit. The
point at which the gardener must concen-
trate his attention, if he wants to make
money out Of his business, is the market
ing end, as is shown in the following ex-
tract from Mr.. Spears article:
81 saw that to get paying price,
must distribute my truckato the consum-
er. l had no horse, even though | was
growing two and half acres Of truck.
and i had no money with which to buy
one. But | had good little push-cart
that had recently been purchased for use
in the field. On reaching home I washed
that cart until it was as clean as any,
body's dining table. Then picked
it full of beans, covered them we'll to
keep out the dust, put pail on top for
a measure, and in the ''dewy" morn l
showed the outfit down the pike.
perhaps the reader will be interested
to know that this was done on the thir-
teenth of July and that l sold my first
pailful of beans at the thirteenth house
visited! | confess that l got cold feet
ghile visiting the twelve houses where
no sales were made, but as soon as l had
made one sale the luck changed.
"Sin. re that time have not only been
able to get the full retail price for all
that have been able to produce, but
some things that were really fancy have
sold well above the price charged by the
grocers. And l confidently believe that
anyone who has the material to sell car
do as well as did l. 1t becomes matter
of producing the best and advertising it.
This was the system that turned the
trick for me.

duce and sell frst-class vegetables does

WHY BAR HARBOR LOST DEPUTY
SHERIFF.

From the Bar Harbor Record.1
In the Bar Harbor news of the Bangor
Commercial of last Thursday night ap-
peared the following:
William Puffer rendered his resignation as
deputy sheriff Wednesday, and it has been ac-
cepted. 1t is understood that there will be no
new appointment in the near future.
Deputy Sheriff Puffer came into the
Record Office early Friday morning and
said, Don't copy the Commercials item
as it stands. Have it corrected. Say he
was "chucked out"
The discrepancy between the CONNER
cial's Bar Harbor news column and Mr..
Puffer's statement interested US. We
find the following facts about it: Deputy
Sheriff Puffer on June 26th received his
discharge as deputy sheriff in writing,
with legal seal attached, signed by
Otha Jellison, sheriff, no reason being
given for his summary dismissal from
the office of deputy sheriff.
The day before, June 25th, Deputy
Sheriff Puffer warned eight saloon
keepers in Bar Harbor, whose saloons
were "wide open" in every sense of the
word, that they must not sell Sundays
or after 10 p. m. Mr.. Puffer thought
that in doing this he was not only within
the law, which is perfectly obvious, but
he believed that the sheriff of the county
would back HIM up in this action.
The saloon-keepers defed Deputy
Sheriff Puffer and warned him that he
would lose his job. The next day he lost
it. Mr.. Puffer claims that he lost his
job because he was Objectionable to the
liquor men Of the town. He also claims
that the liquor men control Sheriff Jelli
son and that Sheriff Jellison will appoint
or discharge whosoever the liquor men
wish in the office of deputy sheriff.
