THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IN
IDAHO,

The development Of the mineral
deposits and the water resources OF
Idaho is so important part of the
industries of the State that the work
of the United States Geological Sur
vev in this section must he of inter-
est to every citizen. The fact that
the Survey distributes each year
over million reports and maps
and replies to over 10000 letters
is an indication of the extent to
which its conclusions are sought.
Idaho, in common with other
public land States, is getting a much
larger share of attention from the
Geological Survey than some Of the
older States of the East, on account
largely of the need of information
for the classification of the public
lands which is in progress.
The field work of the Survey in
cludes geologic investigations and
mapping, topographic surveying,anc

remainder on streams draining int

Few persons who see the tele-
phone wire traced over the land
scape realize that on this thin sup
port is strung one of the marvels of
modern science. The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph
Company has in operation an inven-
ton that permits several messages
being sent in each direction over the
telephone wires. The messages are
carried by circuits that do not in
terfere with each other and each
message travels as if upon a wire OF
its own. The system by which thi:
plan of duplex circuits is maintained
permits telegraph and telephone
messages to pass each other on The
same wire and other mysterious per
formances that would have been de
clared impossible by the early pio
neers in the telephone business. III

HAVE CONQUERED THE SAND.

Farmers in the south and west
part of the tract have had no end
of trouble in getting crops started in
the sandy soil which abounds in
these districts, and several have
given up the task, as it has been
somewhat discouraging to have their
crops blown out each year. 1t l.
conceded by all that some OF the
best land on the tract lays in those
districts, and it is pleasing to note
from dispatch from Wendell that
the farmers in that vicinity have
had splendid success this year in
getting good stands of rye. Rye
planted a year ago in August got a
good root system established and
the spring winds found the ground
well covered with foliage.
Once set in sandy sol, rye thrives,
and when the grain is cut, leaving a
high stubble, there is fine protec-
ton and ,once alfalfa is well set, the
blow-sand problem is settled fol
keeps.
The sandy soil is warmer than th'
heavier soil and alfalfa grown on i
natures a week or ten days earlier
The old adage Great big 'taters il
sandy land" holds true today as
did III times gone by. The mos
uniform potatoes are grown in tn
sander soil and when spud calami
ties, such as has afflicted Greeley
Colorado, strike district, the sand
soil, owing to perfect drainage,
less likely to suffer.

ARE SEEKING RELIEF.

Settlers on the Medbury tract are
determined to have cancelled the
contract between the state and the
King Hill Extension Irrigation Co.,
charging that the company has
completely fallen down in the mat
ter of furnishing water. They ap-
peared before the state land board
recently in an endeavor to have that
body take some decided action in
the matter.
The land board is reminded that
the settlers on this project have
been extremely patient and long
suffering, but that they can stand
the financial strain no longer. They
see no other permanent relief II
sight but the forfeiture of the King
Hill Extension contract with thu
state, and they call upon the STATE
| 10 take llllS ettp.
The board at this meeting pro
missed to personally visit the trac
and learn the true condition o
things, and this they did last weel
when all the members, with the ex
ception of Miss Shepherd, visite'
the tract and went over the ground
carefully.
The Medbury settlers believe tha
if they can create a district unde

Along toward the close of the first decade after the civil war. there came to pass, one in the south and one in the north, two events that were des- tined to have a future effect upon the political destinies of those two great main divisions of our own dear
 land. In the south the reconstruction
 period was brought to an end and in
 the north Samuel c. Blythe was born
 To be exact, MT. Blythe was born in
 the town of Geneseo, which is in the county of Livingston, state of New
 York.
 A previous IeXigrapher of Mr.
 Blythe has given circulation to the report that on the morning when Blythe opened his eyes upon q naughty world and decided to do something about it, the town crier, ringing his bell paraded back and forth the length of the main street of the village, chanting out, Samuel c. Blythe the writer. is born, Sam ueI G. Blythe, the writer, is born!" A strict regard for the truth regard ing this alleged circumstance impels the writer to say that MT. Blythe was fully ten days old before he markedly manifested a leaning toward literature and that upward of a month more elapsed before the gratified citizenry took steps towards raising fund by popular subscription to put brass me moriaI tablets upon the house where our hero, with unabashcd and critical gaze, first beheld the light of day.
 The lives of many of our greatest men have been singularly devoid of interest and variety, as the pages of history abundantly attest. Such, however, was not the case in this instance. It is of record that at the age of eleven, having passed safely through the collie, the milk teeth and the stone-b bruise periods, the young Blythe decided to run away with Dan Rice's circus. He was dcterred from carrying out his ambition through an inability to decide whether he would be the principal bareback rider or the ringmaster or both of them at once. Shortly thereafter he attended vol unteer firemens picnic and for some time was strongly disposed toward making volunteer Iife-saving in red

ever printed were from sam Blythc'J pen. His side1ght stuff on Wash ington life regularly cntertains and inStructs-m millions of appreciative subscribers. His travel yarns are classics of humor. But it is upon his marvellous work as reporter of I-olitical conditions that his reputa
 ticn as a writer is most firmly bed rocked. Probably no man who reads the current papers and magazines oi this country with any considerable degree of intelligence would seriously dispute the assertion that sam Blythe is the greatest political reporter alive He probably knows more public men in this Country-knOWs them better and knows more about them and what they think about and what they do-than any contemporary figure in American journalism. When 1t comes to understanding the poll tics of the nation It large and of the various states of the nation-its trends, aspects, slants and angles; it's veins. pockets, spurs and sidings; it's caves and it's holloWs; its plans, spe- cifications and blue prints; it's mes sages in the sands and it's hand writings on the wall-in short, the Wnole SnOW-Bl\IhC Is m q class which, so a good many of us think, is competently and exclusively male up of one large, pink complccted per son in his early forties. Sam Blythe can spy out a political bunco game farther-and lambaste it harder-than anybody you know. He has helped to make quite a number of men and with the aid of that invalid octo- Genarian stutterer of a typewriter of his-has helped to .unmake quite few others.

 The chronicler of these lines real izes that through the publication of these details he may be cndangerinS a friendship of years standing with Sam Blythe, but he holds it to be the duty of the honest biographer to heW to the line. let the heartburns fall where they may.
 Accompanied by his faithful type Writer-named POntO, I forgot to say and by the haunting memories of the time when he ran a comic weekly, Mr. Blythe while still in his tWen- ties, emigratcd from the interior to the eastern seaboard. Leaving Buf- faIo prone upon it's back, he moved to New York, where very soon he was covering big news assignments for the New York World. The World sent him to take charge of it's Wash ington bureau, and, excepting such times as he is inhabiting Pullman cars. Washington has ever since been his regular address. It wasn't long after his arrival until young MT. l. paper work in that place of big ucwspaper men. He had served term as president ot the Gridiron club and already had q national rep utution both as a humorist and as serious writer before he joined the staff of tEe Saturday Evening Post. There he has been ever since, to the 9bounding satisfaction o1 the Post, it's readers, it's patrons, the world It large, and incidentalis MT. Blythe himself.
 His Who's Who an6 Why" which year in and year out fills that page of the Post facing the editorial page, has been called the most popular department in any ma aEazine on earth. Undoubtedly it is. But as all Post readers know, his activities are not confined to the Who's Who" paga, u hich just by itself would provide steady employment fol any man alive except sam Blythe.

 As a matter of fact, the desire to write and to keep on writing had been secretly Pickering all this time in the mind of the youth, and now it burst into flame. He became a cub reporter upon the local newspaper, of which his father was the editor. It was at this juncture in his career that Mr. Blythe came into possession of the typewriting machine which he has ever since used. The impression prevalent among persons who have seen samples sheets of Mir BIythe's copy that this was a homemade typewriter is erroneous. Nor was it the first typewriter ever manufac- tured, as some profess to believe. It never was a first typewriter-it was always one of the seconds. It is one of those EarIy-VictOrian, and-feed, flat-bed princcsse style of typeWrit- CTS, with a placket behind and double row of buttons in front. It weighs ninety pounds dressed when in oper- ation it rattles like a groundhog thresher, and long ago lost out through a hole in it's stomach it's device for spacing, so that all the words in a line of MT. BIythe's manu- script run together. thus affording much entertainment to the printers when they try to read what he has written. Bob Davis, of Munscy's. said once while suffering from eX- haustion after trying to decipher one of Blythe's contributions that. in his opinion, Blythe got his effects by first bracing the machine firmly and then climbing up on the desk and falling heavily into the keys The re- suit is undcniabIy literature. but it has caused MT Blythe to become tho most intensely unpopular person among linotype operators in thG whole of the habitable globe.
 This typewriter accompanied Mir Blythe through his journalistic ap- premiership. He became q small town reporter. then q large town re- porter, then a star reporter and then succcssively city, news editor and managing editor of one of the Buffalo dailies Somewhere along here oc- cured one of the chapters in his life which MT. Blythe has ever since en- deavored, more or less unsuccessfully, to keep secret. He established comic weekly. This publication en- dured for nine comic weeks and then died a comic death. Even now it happens, just when MT. Blythe is cOngratulating himself that this blot upon his past has been bleached into forgetfulness by the kindly acids of time that some fiend in human form

f We quote from another letter, dated December 10. 1906: T praise Peruna to all the sick The people know my case, and they praise it also
 In a letter dated November 9, 1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: 'Pe- runa gave me back my life ten years iago. All my acquaintances know that. I am certainly thankful to you for your kindness"
 In a later letter, dated January 13, 1910, he says: "I shall ever in the
 future, as in the past, be ready to speak in praise of Peruna to all suf
 ferers. 1 believe my miraculous cure has been the means of many others
 being cured in this county"
 From letter of September 5, 191-, We quote a few words; "I am still among the living. As to Peruna, l do not feel that I have words to eX
 press the faith I have in it's merits. | feel that Pcruna has been the means, through the kind providence of God, of prolonging my life for more than ten years"
 We quote a still later letter. Octo- Der 31, 1912 He says: ''I took a SC we're cold three weeks ago. I at once sent for Peruna. Have been taking it two weeks. I am now better. consider that Peruna has carried me over a dozen years of life. I always stand ready to answer any question in reference to Peruna."
 We quote from his last letter dated January ?, 1913: Dear Friends: wish this bright New Years to ex- I ress my thanks to you for your | Eindncss. Trusting that you may have a successful and happy year, and that your medicine may prove q blessing to many as it has to me, I am yours as ever. G. w. Roberts. Hartsell, Alabama, R. r. D. 7, Box 27."
 It is not necessary for us to add any words to this story. The eIo- quenCc and pathos of these letters are moro convincing than arguments or affidavits. Who can doubt the story? Who can doubt that Pcruna saved luis life?

Summer before last Mr. Hjythc became registered citizen ot the great sovereign state of Mon tana. and whisper - having for su long considered politics from tie viewpoint of the man who is on the outside looking in, il is now rum"rej that he may undertake to get into the game himself. Ii ever sam Blythe declares himself d candidate for any px)lic office there is wait ing list of 'ovcr nine thousand gentle men, each one of whom most earnest ly desires to furnish the copy for the Who's Who and Why" column for enc week-for just one little week. They want to get even. and this looks like their big chance.
 Just one more thinS about Blythe hIs pcrsonal appearance. Although It probably never occurred to him, it is d fact that there are few better looking men than he, and few better dressed men in the literary trade or
