turned up at ten instead of at nine
fifteen, he hardly dared give Miss
Brown instructions during the rest
of the forenoon.
"Abner," said Daniel one day, 81
withdraw what l said against women
bookkeepers. Miss Brown is a-er-
a-er-peach!"
He Kissed the word at his brother
and then looked at him as one who
has committed breach of deco-um.
But Abner only nodded his head, and
then Daniel looked at him quite diff
ferently. That Abner should hold the
same opinion of Miss Brown reused a
curious sensation in him.
From that time onward each
brother watched the other narrowly
when he was talking to Miss Brown.
"Abner," said Daniel, what would
we do if she left u.s."
left us!" echoed Abner. ''Why
should she leave u.s."
'Wen-er-she might get mar
ried you know" suggested Daniel.
81 guess we'd better raise her sal
airy, then" replied Abner.
So Miss Brown was duly raised
from fifteen to twenty dollars week,
to lure her away from matrimonial
aspirations.
But that was in the good times be-
fore the panic. Then business grew
worse, and, as is always the case, the
trade in luxuries was the first to suf-
fer The business fell off to almost
nothing. It became case of closing
the warehouse or selling securities at
price which, would have swept away
half the brothers fortune.
"Abner," said Daniel, miss Brown
will have to go. You give her notice."
why don't you give her notice?"
answered Abner. You are the senior
partner" He had observed that
Daniel had grown much more formal
with Miss Brown of late:

have another position then. How
could we get her back?"
But nobody except Miss Brown
could understand our system" la
mented Daniel. I'VE should have to
train new bookkeeper, and all he
would think about would be moving
picture shows and horse racing. Abb
ner, you tell Miss Brown"
So Abner very reluctantly edged
his way toward the grille.
Miss Brown" he began, 81 am
very sorry to say that THAT is, the =
firm-I mean we are going to close
down, perhaps for a long time"
AS he looked as Miss Marjory
Brown Abner became suddenly aware
that for the first time in months he
was able to do so without Daniel
coming in to call him. Daniel had
always hated to have him talk to the
bookkeeper. And, now he came to
think of it, he hated to have Daniel
talk to her, too. The chance might
never occur again. Miss Browns
hair had auburn tints among its
shadoWy tresses. Miss Browns fig
ure was divine. Miss Brown remind
ed him of somebody he had once
known when he really was the reck-
less member of the family. And sud-.
denly Abner was swept away into
doing the most reckless thing that
he had ever done.
But we want you to stay with us
for ever" he stammered. I'VE want
you to be-er-el- wife"
Miss Browns cheeks became the
color of a rudy peach.
Whose wife did you say, Mr.. Alb
ner," she murmured, looking down
at her ledger.
my wifep calculated Abner, tax
ing the ledger brazenly away
81 knew you couldn't mean Mr..
Daniels wife, murmured Miss
Brown five minutes later.

ABUSING WHITE SLAVE LAW

Some time ago a young woman liv-
ing at Star, just west of Boise, left
her home and husband and joined a
former chum of hers who was leading
an immoral life in the city. Later
the husband learned where she was
and went to see her. While they
were visiting together she sat with a
silver dollar in her hand turning it
over as she talked. Finally she laid
it in his palm and he handed it back
to her. She expressed the wish that
he should keep it, and he said he did
not like to take her money. She
clinched the matter by remarking
that she guessed woman could give
her husband dollar if she wanted
to.
Whether he kept it because 1t was
a dollar or because 1t was his Wife s
wish is a matter of conjecture, but
when he left the house the dollar was
in his possession and she had wit
ness to the fact.
Last Monday she had him brought
before the court to answer to the
charge of living ontheearningofafal-
len woman, and the evidence placed
him on the side of violators of the
law. Now the question before the
court is what to do with man who
is the victim of such "frame-up.
There is law to punish the woman
who did the framing" if that can be
proven.

ANOTHER RAILROAD is PLAN
NED FOR IDAHO

Idaho is to be tapped by another
railroad.
Articles of Incorporation were filed
today with the secretary of state by
the Ogden, Lewiston & Northern Rail
road company which proposes to con-
struct a road from Ogden via Aron,
Paradise, Hyrum, Wellsville, Mill,
vile, Providence, Logan, Hyde Park,
Smithfield, Richmond and Lewiston
in Utah over the southern Idaho line
through Fairview to Preston in
Franklin county a distance of 80
miles.
The new road is incorporated for
100000 with it's principal place of
business as Logan. The president of
the company is named by the articles
as Fred w. Crockett, the vice-presi-
dent, A. L. Hyler, and the secretary
treasurer, Morris J. Swinyard. A.
w. Hart of Preston is DESIGNATED as
the Idaho agent. Stockholders are
named as Fred w. Crockett, Logan;
A. L. Hyer, NJ. Pound, T. S. Karen,
B. Pound and George E. Telford,
Lewiston; John Johnson, Millville;
Edwin Bodily, Sr., Fairview; Morris
]. Swinyard, Lewiston and George S.
Olray, Paradise.
The new railroad will, when con-
structed give that section of Idaho in
and around Preston and particularly
south of that city, new outlet for
shipping it's produce to connect with
and secure the benefits of transcon-
tinental railroad for eastern and west
ern markets. 1t is said to have the
backing of strong financial men both
in Idaho and Utah and work on it's
construction is to be rushed in order
to effect it's early completion.

mountain states are an especially
good market for this preparation,
and process has recently been pat
ented for making potatoes into a form
that enables the cook to prepare
mashed potatoes in one minute If he
has boiling water. The preparation
has not yet been given any short
practical name, but its appearance
in the package suggested the appel
lation of Shredded Potatoes" and
as the preparation will command a
good price, it should interest Idaho
people to see that factories are es-
tablished for producing it as soon as
the feasibility of the process is es-
tablished.
A good object lesson was given re-
Gently to some of the people in south
ern Idaho when railroad magnate
visiting Boise said that he would not
consider building railroad through
territory where the people are plan
ing to raise alfalfa to sell at five dol
lars ton when they could feed it to
stock and realize $40 for it. He
wanted to deal with people who are
taking advanced gound and advanced
methods.

UNLOAD CARS PROMPTLY

With the usual rush of business
incident to this period of the year,
the railroads are seeming trouble
ahead in the form of shortage OF
cars.
In anticipation of this the rail-
roads have repaired and added to
their equipment, but it is the fear of
those in charge of railway operation
that this alone will not suffice to
avoid serious delays and congestion
the shippers and railroads must ac-
lively cooperate.
Delay on the part of the shippers
in loading and unloading cars is often
the direct cause of the carriers in
ability to furnish cars whereas If the
shippers would load and unload
promptly and when CONSTANT load
cars to their rated capacity difficult
ties incident to rush of business
would, it is believed, be approximately
relieved.
The solution of the problem ap-
pears to be cooperation, prompt
loading and unloading by the shipper
and prompt movement and delivery
of cars by the railroads. With this
end in view last year the California
Railroad commission as well as the
Railway commission of Oregon and
several other states took cognizance
of conditions aand with the hearty
support of many trade and CONNER
cial organizations developed spirit
of cooperation between the shippers
and the railroads which very substan-
TALLY relieved the situation and
heavy movement of traffic esulted
without serious delay of congestion
any where. The plan gave such gen.
eral satisfaction that in all probable
ity it will soon be mutual perma-
nent working arrangement. Present
indications are that in the near fut-
ure demand for cars will be very
heavy and even with large supply
of equipment in serviceable condition
to prevent delay and congestion in
supplying and moving cars active CO.
operation between the carriers and
shippers must obtain.

1T is UP TO THE RESIDENTS

The city council have done their
part toward cutting weeds and it is
up to the residents to do the rest. II
there are any weeds going to seed on
or about your place, it is time for you
to get busy removing them.
When the citizens elected the coun-
Gil on a "cut weed" plank and the
council cut their share of the weeds,
the people who elected them as their
city officials cannot consistently neg
lect to cut their share. If you neg
lect to do this before the bloom IS
off, don't ever go again to munich
pal convention and help write a
platform or endorse one. Either
quit or cut weeds.

MARKETING WESTERN FRUITS

High prices for deciduous fruits
in eastern markets and bumper
yiel in the northwest have combined
to make prospects exceedingly bright
for farmers in Oregon and Washing
ton. Shipments from California
have brought from $500 to $4,000
per car, with an estimated yield of
$4,000 cars to be shipped from the
state. On the basis of present prices
the revenue from these $4,000 cars
will be 2S,000,000. Taking this as
an index, Oregon and Washington
crops should also yield a sum which
will go long way to keep the wheels
of prosperity turning.
The Southern Pacific company re-
ports the movement over its lines
eastward of 129 cars during the three
days of this month and states that
shipments are now going forward at
the rate of from 40 to so cars daily.
The season is two weeks earlier this
yenr than last, and the yield is heavi-
err. Plums are most important in
quantity, but will soon be replaced at
the head of the list by pears. Next
in order come peaches, together with
the last of the cherries and apricotes.
Shipping began month ago and will
continue until November, the maxi
mum being reached when the grape
crop is at its height in October.
G. ]. Jones, general freight agent
of the Southern Pacific company
states that the price level on decidu-
GUS fruits in the East is quite high
this year and because of the shortage
in eastern fields promises to continue
so. He says that the record sale for
cherries was that of 20 cars which
crossed over $50, 900. One car, alone,
sold for over $4,000
Railroad companies are calling up
on shippers to cooperate that there
may be full supply of cars. If cars
are loaded and unloaded promptly
there will be plenty to go around
but only prompt release of cars once
loaded will allow the crop to move
easily and rapidly. An especial ap-
peal is made at this time to prevent
and it is believed that
users of railroad equipment will re-
spond.

Here is the daily schedule of Baby
Nelson, the prize winner in the
"Better Babies" contest, who
was only half of 1 per cent less
than a perfect score: -..
Awakes at Z a. m. Face and hands
washed and clean clothes put
on. First nursing at Z $50. From
then until 10 a. m. he crawls
about in a clean, properly venti-
lated room. Then he is thor
ougl,ly bathed and powdered,
having his mouth and gums
washed with bOraeic acid.
At 1880 he has his second nurs-
ing, followed by a nap which
lasts two hours. At 80 he gets
third nursing and has a clean
dress. Then he is wrapped up
Snugly and is taken for a ride
for one or two hours, depending
upon the weather.
The fresh air makes him sleepy
and hungry, so at $50 he is
ready for another nursing and q
nap. Between 1880 and $3.50 he
is permitted to crawl about and
enjoy his toys. This affords him
exercise and strengthens his lit.
tie muscles. He usually vel.
comes his $50 nursing. then al
ter bathing his face and hands
he is put into a fresh "nightie'
and tucked away in his crib for
sound sleep.
