Road to the Hot Springs.

The work on the wagon road
to the Red River Hot springs is
progressing very satisfactory,
and it is expected that it will be
in shape for travel this summer.
The grade is completed to Ditch
creek. and this only leaves an
uncompleted gap of a few miles.
The road follows Red river all
the way and is an easy grade,
and can be kept open all year.
There are quite number of
people planning an outing at the
springs this month, and the
usual crowd will come from out
side points.
Mrs. E. R. Meinert has the
springs fitted up in a very sub
stantial way, and everything is
done for a persons comfort.

Every mining state in the west
today offers an opportunity for a
man of moderate capital to take
up and develop mining claims.
Mining of this class, advantage
ously located, can be secured on
favorable terms. They have
been passed by in the rush for
big things or have been held at
prohibitive prices by the original
locator. Many of them have
never been located at all because
of the local traditions against the
finding of ore in that particular
locality. Incidentlv a large mum,
ber OF such propositions have
been successfully developed in
the past few years, and there
are more. AS the record of these
past few years show, a man with
a knowledge of the business anC
a small amount of capital can al
this day secure and develop at {
good profit mines in available
localities.

MINERAL SPECIMENS
FOR EXPOSITION
PrOSpeCtOrS Should Get the Exhibits
Deadly This Season.


republished at this time, as it is
very urgent that action be taken
this summer to get all exhibits
in early. The Panama exposi-
ton will be ready to receive eX-
hibits as early as July 1914, and
the management urges all to
have their exhibits in readiness.
To all Miners and Mine Owners
of Idaho County, Greeting:
During 1915 the Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition will be held at
San Francisco. 1t will be one
of the worlds greatest fairs
ever held. All natural resources
such as from the mines. fields,
forests, fisheries, etc., will be
displayed in a most profuse and
attractive manner.
California, the pioneer mining
state on the Pacific coast and
perhaps of the union, will make
a special effort in showing its
wonderful mineral wealth.
Other states of the union will
do the same.. Our own Idaho,
unsurpassed in varied mineral
wealth will be there. Our Idaho
county, conceded the largest in
the union, has such a large
variety Of the precious minerals,
that it may be safely stated that
a carefully selected collection of
samples from all it's mines and
prospects, will equal if not sur
pass any. of the other states rep

Here is our opportunity to show
to the outside world samples of
the vast mineral wealth stored
away in our grand mountains,
that will even be surprise to
many of our Idaho citizens.
To accomplish this we must
have the cooperation of each
and every one of you.
1t is advised that from now on
you commence saving your best
samples as you find them from
time to time, taking good care of
same, and when you have all you
wish to send, wrap each sample
carefully and should your samples
be from several different prop
critics you own, inclose a descrip-
ton with each separate lot and
then put into a box or good sack

Ex-Governor to Publish History.

The Early History of Idaho,
soon to be published by Ex-Gov-
ernor Mcconnell, will cover
only what the name EARLY His
tory" implies; the record will
close with the admission of the
territory as a state. The index
of contents discloses a departure
from the usual methods followed
by historical writer's. The author
begins his narrative with the un-
broken wilderness, and carries
his readers through the varia-
tions incident to the gradual de-
velopment of a new country
which received its first impetus
from the discovery of placer
gold.
AS we read his tribute to the
"old days of the trail, the coffee
pot, and the frying-pan," the
aroma of steaming coffee and
sizzling bacon again greets our
hungry nostrils as in the days of
yore.
Instead of verbose descriptions
of the episodes related, every in
cident is briefly narrated, event
following event in such rapid
succession that no time is given
for loss of interest. Sample
pag IS of the index are being dis
tributed for the information of
the public as to the style of the
book to be presented, and agents
will be appointed in each county
within the state to solicit sub
scribers, to the end that every
person desiring a copy of the
book may be accommodated. =

regular prices were reduced from
25 cents and so cents to 5 cents
a copy.
The survey has just issued a
circular describing the folios in
dividually-t the location and size
of areas they cover, the mineral
resources described, their eco
nomic Importance, etc. The OPP
portunity is thus presented to.
procure information of great
local value at a merely nominal
cost. The topographic map alone
which is included in each folio is
sold separately at 10 cents a copy

Commodore John e. Guncixe of Toledo,

tionately and reverently known to more
than $4,000 members of the National
Newsboys' Association of America, is n
unique personality. l never knew. man
that carried more sunshine in his heart
and distributed it more willingly and
helpfully to all people. When John E.
Gunckel reaches down a helping hand to
a boy or a girl, he lifts that child up into
the affectionate tenderness of a Christ
like friendship, and 'he never lets CO."
That's the keynote to his success. 1t
never makes any difference to "Gunck''
how dirty child is or how bad it Is; all
he wants is the opportunity to help It.
The mother organization at Toledo of
the National Newsboys' association,
which I had the privilege to become ac-
quainted with over 20 years ago. now has
an enrolment of nearly 5000 boys, with
over 500 girls, and an active membership

WINDOW GLASS RIOTS AWAY

L rom IidfperS Weekly.
1t is generally supposed that glass is
practically immortal. But 1t has been
demonstrated that glass exposed to the
elements will decay and in time become
so rotten that it is worthless.
Window glass exposed to the heat and
cold and varying winds will, after q
number of years, become so brittle that
it can be cut with a pair of shears. Ii
is said that light and darkness have diff
ferent effects on glass and this alterna-
tion alone will cause 1t to become fra
gile and in time worthless.
1t is almost impossible to remove old
windows from a building without break
ing many of the panes of glass. New
glass can be handled with much more
carelessness.
There is certain elasticity to new
glass that leaves glass which has faced
the weather for a number of years.
Street takers who travel throughout the
country selling scissors will obtain a
lot of old window glass and show the
crowds how wonderfully their shears will
cut by clipping off strips of the glass
just as a person would cut paper, when
IN fact the feat is due to the fact the
glass is actually rotten.

Owners of Patents Defeated

The supreme court of the United
States has given the manufacturers Of
natent medicines a jar that Will stay
with them. They have been notified
by the court that the patent law gives
them 10 right to name the price at
which the articles they make must he
sold to retailers. All restrictions on
the retailer have been abolished by
this decision, and hundreds Vf articles
can now be sold regardless of restrlc-
tions of any sort.
An era of cut rates is now feasible,
and the manufacturer is helpless. The
case arose in New York city and was
carried to the supreme court by a
strong company which undertook to
control the prices of local drug
gist who was selling bottle at So
cents when he had been ordered to ask
81 for it.
Little by little business akin to
monopoly is being called down in this
country and perhaps in time the old
days of competition and reasonable
prices will be restored.

New Orleans and Tuscaloosa Line

view oIlCdhS anu AhotaicOS' >~As'~
The New Orleans papers give the
plans of the elf-propelled barge fleet
of the Alabama and New Orleans
Transportation company which will
begin service June with barge
line to Mobile, jackson, Demopolis,
Eutaw and Tuscaloosa. The barges
are built of steel and are 240 feet
long, SO feet beam, with a carrying
capacity of 1000 tons.
The service will start with 10
day schedule. This schedule will be in
effect about 80 days. Another barge
will then be added to the service, and
there will then be five-day schedule.
About every so days barge will be
added to the fleet, shortening CORE
spondingly the time between the de-
partures of the barges until semi
daily service is established.
The rates are about 20 per cent
under the rail rates, and all barge
rates will include marine insurance.
Shipments in large lots will be han
died by special agreement.
This line is said to be we'll capital
lied, and it has come to stay. At any
rate the railroads cannot buy it for a
song. Perhaps they cannot buy it at
all. 1t is a barge line that will test
to the utmost the needs of water navi-
cation from Tuscaloosa to New Or
leans and back again. The headquar-
ters Of the company are in New Or
leans. The railroads are up against
self-propelled steel bargers, and all
will soon see how well they like the
new rival
