FARMERS In the. surrounding
country needing farm implements
should note the special sales of
the Meridian dealers. An over
stock means that you can get what
you want at from 1.3 to J OF the
usual price. Come to Meridian.
The brick facing on the new
Interurban depot in Meridian will
be painted or oiled over, TINS
covering up the white alkili spots
which have given the walls an un-
finished appearance. The work
will be done in few days.
Farmers Institute will be held
at Meridian March 4th, 10 a. m.
Every farmer should attend. You
cannot afford to stay away I'M
portant topics will be discussed by
practical men. Every body come
and learn something and show
your appreciation of this work.
There is talk of running the In
lerurban cars In and out of Boise
along Main street instead of Ban
mock, The Times speaks the senti-
ments of the INTERMEDIATES when
it objects to any change being
made, for while escaping the
congestion on Main street, the
present route also lands the pas
sengers convenient to all the state
and county offices and stores. Why
change?
The biennial report of Hon.
s. j. Rich, retiring Commission
er of Immigration. is the finest
book of the kind ever got out in
Idaho, and if the Office performed
no other service for the state, the
circulation of such a valuable ex-
position of the resources of Idaho,
is sufficient reason for its exist
ence.

newcomer? It takes two hours of such riding before reaching the foot of the mountains. The sterekeepers were spreading out their wares for the day and | had truly rather eat "dried ratse than many of the articles that 1 saw being arranged to attract the eye Of the passer-by. At dozens of places they were in the process of dressing goat meat and fowls, others were frying cakes and decorating them. The streets were often about six feet wide and as all wares are on the streets and the houses are all open to the streets one can see life as it is lived by mil lions in China. Many were still asleep on the floor or hard board beds, some were eating, others dressing their hair The coolie women have style of hair dress that 1 never have seen elsewhere which reminds me of miniatu re windmill on each head as three large, shining silver ornaments bristie out from their curiously arranged and decorated hair The ear rings are a circle of wire as large around as a saucer, their trousers are rolled above the knees and their jackets anything but attractive. They are always bear ing burdens of some kind. Quantities of fish of all kinds, lotus flowers, fruit and vegetables were being brought In from the country for sale. The peaches, bananas and plums did look inviting in spite of their surroundings. My ol- factory nerves must be getting accus- toned to China for 1 was not so dis turbed as usual by the various smells 1 knew must be there. The whole family of wee piggies and ducks and chickens were perfectly at home with the family in the same general public room-
 The latter half of the way was con tinual ascent up a road made of stone steps till we reached height of some 2,500 feet. The three chair men spelled each other and often stopped for tea. Where it was steepest l pre- ferred to be on my own feet. The heat was intense but the cool stone cottage at the summit recompensed for all the toil of the way. l found ajolly house full of young people representing the American Methodists, Congregational isls, Canadian family, one from New Zealand, and British girl who mar ried a German. l seem to be the only Baptist, not only in this cottage but on the mountain. There are some hum dred houses here, a very pretty little church, stores, book rooms, a summer school for Chinese girls and post office. If the successful journey up and the pleasant celebration of the Fourth is a foretaste of the whole va cation it will surely be a joyous bene- ficiaI season that will help me the com ing year to serve a little better than the year before.
