change His mind about something We
would greatly like to have done, but
we are striving to learn what Is His
mind about that thing, and then Joy.

our much beloved Phillips Brooks once
expressed it:
Prayer is not conquering Gods re-
! luctance, but taking hold Of Gods
willingness. !" @z
/ The fair standard by which prayer
should be measured is not by how
many greatly desired things it brings
to US, but how many better thoughts
/ it leaves behind it. The prayer which
does not leave us cheerfully ready to
aid In carrying out Gods plans, even
though the opposite of our own; the
prayer that does not rise higher than
material things, or reach farther than
ones own interests, lacks the wings to
carry 1t to heaven. -.
We can ask no better evidence that
a prayer has been answered than aft
erwards to feel so near to the GiveT
of all good as to have lost sight OF
what we asked Him to give US. The
prayer that brings the child closer to
his Father; that brings man closer to
his God and leaves him there is not
a barren one, whether it was uttered
in the silence Of ones thought, in the
sanctuary, the noisy street, the, rush
ing train or. on the rolling sea. Mel
Their time nor place can restrain or
restrict the prayer of unsettled love.
for after all, love for God and man is
the essence of prayer Coleridge has
truly said:
He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small.
For the dear God who loveth US
He made and loveth ALL.
The prayer that results in no dis
appointment is the prayer that carries
our highest desires to God and con-
tentedly leaves them in His hands
When We bring more of God and less
of man into our thinking, we will get
more of happiness out of our praying
The trouble with much of our pray
ing is that we feel God ought to COM
ply because we want him to so badly.
When mans personal affairs are
spread before the searching gaze of
infinite Wisdom, how trivial, how in
significant must appear our fancied
necessities. If God were to grant us
what we asked merely becau Sc we
asked it, how much of Indebtedness
and heartache and misery would be
ours which we are now spared
The poetess Hannah Moore has ex-
pressed this thought
so weak is man,

Sometimes withhold a mercy which
we ask,

The Founder of Christian Science
attributes to prayer, combined with
vigilance and diligence, the abundant
blessings which have accompanied the
progress of Christianity wherever it
has been manifested in healing the

affair Of words but Of living, not Of

the man who begs the hardest O., the
lcudest, or with the greatest f1riency

been wisely said that:
The things which men most ad

that God least regards"
God has given to every one of His
children all good things, hence beg

US that which He has already done

so goes to the bank. ard standing in
the street with outstfetched arms
begs and beseeches and eloquently
implores that some of that which he
wants so badly be handed out to
him. Did you ever know of a
man getting his money out of
the bank by such means? His
brother who has received a similar

he quietly bIsies himself to learn its

DEMONSTRATES DAIRY PROFITS.
Twenty-Five Cows Net $25OO Profit on
Twenty Acres.

Twenty-Five cows on 20 acres of
Idaho land and yielding net profit to
the owner of $25OO is the record made
by j. s. Stinson, the prominent dairy
farmer Of this city.
Prof. E. F.. Rinehart, who has charge
of the dairy experiment work for the
Idaho agricultural college has been
making careful test of the work done
by Mr.. Stinson 8 cows. A complete re-
cord was made throughout the whole of
last year-every cent the cows cost in
the way of feed and care was recorded; ;
and every cent they brought in for but
ter, cream and milk was credited to
them.
This record has just been completed
under the supervision of Prof. Rine-
hart. 1t shows that the cows made an
average profit for their owner for the
year of 800. There was a wide diver
gence in the cost of the feed, also the
income from the different cows. The
Pioo year lo ehe average lor Ihe %
cows, and they We're maintained on 20
acres of land that cost the owner 5000
an acre.
These cows belong to the Jersey
family. They are not pastured at all
Mr.. Stinson holds that his land is
too high priced for that. They are fed
silage through the winter and fed oats
and peas raised on three acres in the
summer. The excess milk not needed
for the elves in the herd is fed to
hogs, and this adds to the profits of the
little farm.-Nampa Leader.

Boy Scouts,

An enthusiastic meeting of the Scouts
was held on Wednesday. Plans for
lawn tennis and baseball were discussed
and committees on both these forms
of sport were continued as was also
the committee on uniforms. The even
ing was largely given over to prelimin-
ary drill. Mr.. R. Davil, at the earnest
soliction of the troope, has offered his
services as drill master. He expressed
qualification at the readiness with
which the boys respond and hopes to
have the troope in shape to do some
exhibition work in the near future.
Hereafter the troope will meet at
o. clock on Tuesdays for drill. Applica-
tion for membership are received at al

Local Band Rapidly Getting in First
Glass Form.

In anticipation of the baseball season
and "Border Days. number of the
local band have been working quietly
for weeks in an effort to re-organize
the band and place the organization on
solid, permanent basis. This week
saw the successful elimination of the
plan and rehearsals have been held
nightly shaping the bunch in form for
any engagement that might arise.
The band will go to Lewiston Sun

its best to cheer and inspire the athletes
to their utmost efforts. Some four or
five are members Of both organizations
and because of the fact the band NAV
be taken along at all out-of- town en-
gagements of the ball team at a com
partively light expense.
Frank Fuller will direct the rejuvenat-
ed band. He will play cornet, as will
also s. d. Loucks and DR.. Warner, all
three of whom are proficient upon this
very necessary instrument. Moen and
Mullinix, clarinet; Hub Wood, alto;
Bunnell and Branscombe, trombones; !;
Abrahamson, baritone; James Wood,
tuba and Harris Brothers, drums are

FACTS AS REPORTED.
Florence Miners Death Natural One
Deputy Webb brings Remains Out.

A thorugh investigation of the death
of Robert Carr, the miner whose body
was found in his cabin, about half
mile from the old mining town of
Florence, last week, has proven there
is no reason to believe it was otherwise
than natural. He was a man of fifty.
three years of age, lived alone and is
known to have suffered from stomach
trouble. The news of the finding of his
body was sent to Grangeville last week
and Deputy Webb was dispatched to the
scene to look into the matter, the facts
bearing out the first report in every de-
tail.
A sister living in Portland desired
that the remains be sent to that city
for burial and in conformity with the
wishes of the lady it devolved upon
Webb to take charge of the body and
bring it out to the railroad. The trip
was quite difficult at this time of the
year as there is much snow on the
ground. A sled upon which was placed
coffin constructed by friends of the
deceased and containing the remains,
was provided and with the assistance
of number of miners, was drawn over
the snow, the travelling being done at
night when the snow was solid The
party arrived in Grangeville Saturday
and the remains were prepared for
shipment by Undertaken Hancock and
sent west Sunday morning.

Fire Monday Evening.

What might have been costly fire
was prevented Monday evening by the
early discovery of blaze in the rear
of the Graham furniture store and had
the discovery been made ten minutes
later there is no telling what thee loss
would have been before the flames were
extinguished as that particular section
of the city contains number of wooden
structures and affords all kinds Of
fuel for a big fire..
Along about nine-thirty Hairy Wal
lace Of the Ark Cafe, noticed smoke
issuing from the front of the Graham
building and rushing across the street,
discovered q blaze in the rear which
was making rapid headway. He turned
in the alarm but before the arrival Of
the fire company a number of men
burst in the front door Of the store and
rushing to the rear of the building,
found desk enveloped in flames which
were rapidly communicated to other
portions Of the building. Water was
drawn from faucet and the fire quick
ly extinguished. The origin Of the fire
is unknown but the presumption is that
it was caused by box of matches
which were in drawer of the desk, be-
coming ignited.
The loss from fire and water is sever
al hundred dollars and fully covered by
insurance.

MAJOR REED wins
COLLECT $240O A YEAR FOR
IMMIGRATION OFFICE.
LEGISLATURE MUDDLED IT
Law-Makers Allowed Previous Act
Fixing Salary to Remain Un-
repealed, Court Says.

Boise, May 12.-Major Fred r. Reed
will draw his salary of $24OO year
from the state as commissioner, Of i'm
migration, labor and statistics, in spite
of the attempt of the last legislature
to abolish the office. In an opinion
handed down today the supreme court
holds that the failure of the legislature
to make specific appropriation for
this office did not abolish the office,
that it did not repeal the act of a pre-.
vious legislature which fixed the salary
at $2400, and that the only way in
which the continuing appropriation
could be wiped out was to repeal the
act.
In the words of the court the in
tent of the Legislature is found in what
it does, not in what it fails to do.
This matter came before the supreme
court in the form of petition for a
writ of mandate against Fred l.. Hus-
ton, state auditor, to compel him to is
sue warrant to Reed for his salary as
commissioner.
Major Reed was appointed commits
sioner by Governor Haines last winter
but as there seemed to be a determine
ton on the part of the Legislature to
abolish the office he did not qualify till
the end of March. In the meantime the
Legislature cut out a proposed appro-
priation of 10000 and no appropriation
of any kind was made for this office.
But previous legislature had fixed the
salary OF the commissioner at $2400
year and the main question was as to
whether this held good.
1t is settled by the decision that the
Legislature cannot abolish constitu-
tional office by simply cutting off
salary fixed by another legislature.

ARION CHORUS IN CONCERT.
Local Musical Organization Will Appear
in Public Concert Early in June.

Ihe Ar1on Chorus, under the esteem
, able direction of their leader Mr..
Harry Hilbourne, are progressing rapid
ly with several selections which they
are handling at present and they are
doing creditable work, notwithstanding
the fact that heretofore they have had
only one practice week. Commencing
with this week they will practice twice
La week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
'Ihe purposes of organizing the chorus,
namely for personal benefit and en-
| jpyment of the members Of the chorus
and to stimulate musical interest in the
community are being fully realized.
1t has been agreed among the men,
bers of the chorus to give a concert
the first of the second week in June.
With this purpose in view, extraordin-
airy efforts will be put forth to perfect
program, and while at present there
are only two practice periods week,
the number of periods week will be
increased as the date of the concert
approaches. Local talent, other than
members of the chorus will be engaged
for special numbers on the program to
be given in the concert.
New musgic has been received and is
being practiced. Ahe music received
includes not only music for the male
chorus but also special male quartet
selections and solos for different parts.
Special efforts have been made in the
selection of the music to be used in
concert to cater to the diversified tastes
of the audience. There will be some
thing to please everybody present
There will be arrangements of popular
airs, of the old familiar songs and the
best of the classics.
Miss Fulton, since the departure of
Miss Vercler from Grangeville has been
acting as the pianist for the chorus
and her work is well worthy of praise.

DEVELOPMENT HAS STARTED.
Work on Different Properties Now
Under Way.

With the coming of spring, the usual
assessment and development work has
commenced. While on most claims the
ground is full Of water, and the work
has not been confined to tunnels or
open cuts where drainage can be had,
there is more development under way
than is usual at this time of the year.
On the Major group, Mike Bagley,
one of the owners, has opened new
ground and has 4 feet of good quartz
that pans, and gives promise of making
good. This find is on the extreme west
end of the claims, where no work has
ever been done. The Major groupe has
been opened on the east end, or the
American river slope by three shafts
that have been sunk about so feet each.
In all these shafts good ore has been
found. 1t is possible that arrangements
can be made to mill some of the ore this
summer
On the Last Chance mine the work
has been confined to getting out ore,
and doing some developing. 1t is ex-
pected that water can be put through
the ditch in short time, when the mill
will be started.
Aside from these properties several
are doing assessment work and on some
properties a great deal of development
is under way.
The Mineral Zone will receive atten-
tion as soon as the weather conditions
will hermit -Mininu Naws

By Breezy Short.

By score Of 10 to l Cottonwood
won an easy victory from Grangeville
on the home grounds Sunday, and dis.
regarding pending protests, the two
teams are now tied for second place
in the race for the pennant.
Although Cottonwood won handily
and outplayed the locals in nearly every
department of th9 game the Grange
vile boys really put up better exhibi-
tion than the final score would indi-
cate. Luck played big factor in the
earlier stages Of the matinee and in
several vital instances the good fortune
came not to Grangeville.
In many respects the game was freak
ish to the extreme. Karr, on the mound
for Grangeville, held the Cottonwood
sluggers to 10 hits but his teammates
We're unable to score behind him al
though the Grangeville players gathered
the same number of bingles off Rustic
meyer. Graugeville got one or more
hits in every inning save the sixth hut
only in the ninth were the home BOYS
able to complete the circuit. Cotton
wood counted five times in the seventh
and drew one score each in the second.
fourth, fifth, eight ard ninth frames.
The sad story is graphically told in

furnished by Scorer Van Deventer:
