The incorporation of considerable
quantities of buttermilk in the but

stopped when the butter Is in the

that stage and this volume in the

RGEST ELEPHANT
KNOWN
This Big Elephant, Captured Last
Season, Now Exhibited with
Yankee Robinson.

The scenes attending the arrival of
the largest elephant ever known,
"Kongo." were most remarkable,
From the time the people of this
country some twelve months ago read
of the capture of Kongo, there has
been curiosity to see this huge
beast. At the roundup of ele-
plants, in Siam, last spring, there
were twenty-three elephants captur-
ed-this being the entire haul for the
season. Among the few held last
season, was the real monarch of the
Jungle-an elephant that has been
the goal of every hunter to the for
est for years. This big beast was
Kongo. Immediately the concession
aries of the San Francisco EXPOSE
ton cabled to secure this big beast
for the wonderful trained animal ex-
hibit they will have there during the
fair. The promoters of the Yankee
Robinson shows happened to have
Mr.. Harvey Hale, their European rep
resentative in Siam, at the time of
this offer. Without any comforting
with the owners of the big circus, he
secured this big beast (for an enor-
nous rentaD for the coming season.
1t is expected that the principal cit
les of the country will be visited by
the show during that time
The arrival of Kongo in New York
as stated above, was witnessed by
tens-of-thousands of people. He was
lowered from the vessel by means of
large car, heavily ironed and Sc
cured with enormous chains. AS the
big steam derrick hoisted Kongo in
the air, to be lowered to the harbor
he emitted a terrible bowl of the
| desert. This is poise peculiar tt

fright He was Immediately taken tn
the yards of the Pennsylvania road
where. in a specially constructed car
he was brought to the Yankee Rob

AN UNUSUAL MOVING PICTURE.

I wonder how many of the great
picture loving public are aware that
probably over one-half of the scenes
they witness on the screen, are actua-
lily built" in the various studios of
the different moving picture con-
Germs. This we are tod will be
strongly illustrated when we see the
unusually strong filmed story of
100 years of Mormonisn" which Is
due at the Isis theatre on May 'et,
and 2nd,. In this film there are a
number of large scenes of consider
able merit, among which are the jail,
at Carthage, Mo-, in 1889, where
Joseph Smith and Elders were shot,
the court house. of the same place
and period, where the historical
trial took place, and an entire street
scene in Independence, Mo-, Mobs,
militia, and mormons are shown in
this street riot, during which the
buildings are burned to the ground.
The above street scene alone took
small army of carpenters several
weeks to complete, and all for the
two scenes shown, after which it
was burned. but afforded probably
the greatest fire scene ever enacted
in any studio.

PUBLISHER EXPLAINS.

In one of last weeks exchanges we
observed a notice that the publisher
would no longer book orders for but
terwrappers and other job printing
unless payment accompanied the Or
der, In explanation of the reason
for this he said: This office is load
ed down with job printing orders
which the customers have evidently
forgotten. After we do the print
ing the customer changes his mind
and we have a package, tied up in the
office representing several dollars
that is worthless to anybody but the
person whose name is on the printed
matter"
If the customer had paid in advan-
ce or paid fifty percent when the or
der was given, he would not forget
nor change his mind so easily. The
customer who acts in good faith is al
ways willing to protect the printer
with a payment in advance. He
knows he takes no risk, for the print
ing house is not going to run off in
night, and a mutual understanding
between printer and customers usu-
ally makes business pleasant. This
office is not complaining, We receive
many orders by phone from busy peo-
pie away out on the line, and il
somebody leads us wild goose chase
printing sometimes he doesn't want,
it doesn't take us long to burn the
package and put his name on the
black list.

the butter assumes strong flavor
in a few days the housewife Is dis
satisfied, and will likely try another
brand of butter thereafter.
The age and sourness of the cream
previous to churning has a decided
influence upon the keeping quality
of butter. This is especially true
when the cream is pasteurized. An
excellent proof of that statement is
found in the result recently obtained
in the storage of pasteuried sweet
cream butter for the United States
Navy. as compared with that made
from sour cream. After six or more
months of storage, the pastenrized
sweet cream butter was found to be
practically as good as when placed in
storage while sour cream butter held
under the same conditions was found
to have deteriorated in quality to a
much greater extent. Similar results
have been obtained in experimental
work conducted by this experimental
station. However, in case of raw
cream butter, in many instances, the
results have been best where the
cream was allowed to sour before
churning.
Another factor which bears an i'm
portant relationship to the keeping
quality of the butter is the temper
ature at which the butter Is kept. Any
kind of butter will deteriorate to a
considerable extent If held at high
temperature. Many times the butter
maker Is blamed for making poor but
ter when the fault is mainly with the
consumer for keeping It in a place
where it will become soft and develop
strong flavor. Then also butter is
frequently kept in a place where 1t
will take up bad flavors from its sur
roundings. This is especially true
when the butter is kept is an ice
box with strong smelling vegetables

WHY PLANT TREES IN IDAHO

Our history and our literature
alike abound in reference to trees.
We have but to recall the Charter
Oak, the Washington Elm, the
Spreading Chestnut Tree and the
church of Berkeley Manor beneath
it's shade of elm and oak" in order
to see how great a part the tree has
played in the minds of those who
would record our early struggles for
liberty, or enrich our literature.
Yet we cannot sing the praises of
all the trees that have blessed us.
In fact, very few of us have a prop
err appreciation of our real debt to
trees until we give the matter ser
kious thought. Alas! how many of
us, as we go back in thought to the
cid home in the East, have mental
pictures of stately old trees, or beau
| tiful groves there. These we sadly
miss in our new homes in the great
young state of Idaho. 1t is true that
our soil is fertile and that our eli
mate is such that we may well boast
of our crops in both quality and yield
but our homes, especially in the
southern part of the state, are sadly
in need of something to make them
more attractive-more homelike. AS
We think of the thousands of homes
in Idaho without single tree ts
break the winter gale or to protect
from the burning summer sun-sim-
ply a house set down in the sage
brush-is it any wonder that those
who have grown up among the beau
tiful trees and groves of the eastern
| states have a disconsolate feeling in
such surroundings? They are not
homelike and should by all means
be improved. 1t is with the hope
that the schools may take the lead in
the movements for more homelike
homes in Idaho, that portion of
the fund available for tree growing
in the state has been placed at their
disposal aud it is desired that every
teacher endeavor to secure at least
few trees and observe Arbor Day
with appropriate exercises, endeav-
oring to install into the minds of the
children the Importance of the plant
ing and care of trees as well as the
aesthetic and economical value of
the same.
Many of the more progressive
towns in Idaho have organized "city
beautiful" clubs and park commiss-
ions and are showing lively interest
in definite plans for identifying their
cities. Money cannot be spent more
wisely and no booster club aiming to
attract settlers, can do better than to
encourage systematic planting of
trees in our city parks, on our streets
and about the new homes established
in all the more arid parts Of the state
! Idaho has lost thousands Of pros
pective settlers simply because Of
the general feeling of desolation
which pervades the home seeker
after having spent few days look
ing at the treeless tracts which he is
asked to buy simply because the soil
is fertile and will produce large re-
turns, yet he cannot think of bring
ing his wife and children into such
unattractive surroundings. It is
perfectly easy to change these sur
roundings and make them so inviting
that the prospective purchaser will
not hesitate to bring his family and
make a home in this great land Of
plenty. c. H. SHATTUCK. Prof

Now, even if have changed my
mind by morning, won't have time
to unpack," said George and went to
sleep that night to dream. unmolested,
of Roderick.
1t was Georgiana who woke bright
and early the next morning to the call
of the bedside phone. 1t was from
suffrage headquarters, and so ab-
sorbed was Georgiana with the bust
ness of the day that she did not re-
call the events of the night before.
For the day Georgiana was in her ele-
ment. With the delegates she went
down to the seashore, brilliant sash
worn around her mannish coat pro-
claiming her ward captain Of the sur
fragists, and 1t was not till the close
Of busy day of speech making and
meeting the international delegates
and she had hurried to her room to
dress for dinner that the sight Of her
trunk reminded her of Roderick She
dressed, because there was nothing
else to do, in one of the silly frou-frou
dresses Roderick liked so well. Georg-
lana had never worn 1t before and it
proved disconcerting.
AS she passed from her room to the
hall she surveyed her image in the
mirror with stern disapproval. She
had expected to be the personification
of independent womanhood, in severe
ly fashionable raiment but there actu-
ally was, her reflection told her, moth
ing at all suggestive of independence
about her.
That was the beginning Of the trou-
BILE, Georgiana was sure. The reason
why she didn't carry through her part
as toast mistress with her usual flying
c lors was because she didn't look the
part, and not looking the part she
couldn't act it. Besides the militant
window-smasher from England had
not appeared She had been detained
at Scotland Yard, the cablegram said,
and was going back to Hallowell.
This was disappointment to the
militant wing of the convention.
They blamed Miss Flaxworthy for the
failure and accused her of being anti
militant. After the introduction of the
last speaker 4 hotel page placed
note in her hand and with the eyes
of hall the delegates fixed upon her

TRUFFLES Of inferior quality are found
in England; but the best come from the
Department Of Nauclusc, France; from
which place are annually marketed nine
hundred thousand pounds. Paris alone uses

The finest Of these truffles are put up IN
little baskets which contain two pounds
