OF General Interest.


A circular which should prove of
interest to shippers all over the coun-
try has been issued by the traffic de-
partment of the Missouri Pacific Iron
Mountain. The matter contained in
the document is based on information
furnished by Mr.. Fl. @. Dinkins, Spec
ial Representative of the railroad,
who some time ago was assigned the
duty of visiting the Latin American
countries and making study of trade
conditions and opportunities there.
This particular circular, which is
one of series to be issued along the
same lines, deals principally with
conditions in Chile and Argentine
Republic, two of the countries visited
by Mr., Dinkins, and gives much val
liable first hand information with ref
erence to shipping facilities at the
principal cities, the names of the fore
most shipping and receiving agents,
the more important articles of import
and export and the commodities of
which the different shipping concerns
make specifics. The principal
lines of industry are also set forth, as
as we'll as the natural resources of the
countries. According to the report,
the merchants and dealers of the
South American countries are anxious
for better service from the Gulf ports.
Of the cities of the southern hemi-
sphere, Buenos Aires, the capital of
Argentine Republic, with population
of 100000, is the largest and most
important. 1t is busy up-to-da
place, the business section of which
reminds one of New York or Chicago.
An ample system of subways built by
an English company has just been
completed to relieve the congestion
in the business district. There is need
for American banks there, as at pres
ent the United States must depend
entirely upon European banks there
by disclosing to Europe their business
affairs The trade of Argentina at
present is controlled largely by Great
Britain and Germany, although many
big United States firms have repre-
sentatives there. Mr.. Dinkins believes
that the opening Of the Panama Canal
will enable the United States to do
much larger business with Chile,
where the English have decidedly the
better of the trade at present. Santi-
ago, the capital of the country, has a
population Of 4O3, 900, but most of the
business is done through Valparaiso,
the principal seaport. The latter has
a population of 100000, and most of
the principal business houses in Santi-
ago and other points are branches of
Valparaiso concerns. AT present,
financial conditions are bad in Chile,
Peru and Bolivia and business in these
three countries is largely at stand
still.

Deafness Cannot Ge Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining OF the Eusta,
chan Tube. When this tube is innamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this;
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case OF

human anatomy. Greek and Roman
veterans who had lost leg or an arm
in the wars used to replace them by
substitutes and Plinius speaks of a
Roman veteran soldier who-about 100
years B. C.-was famous for the wood
en- hand with which he was still able
to fight as an able swordsman. In
1904 the Duke of Brunswick had to
use an artificial hand.
Artificial limbs with movable joints
were also largely made by the famous
Ambrose Pare-1517 to 1590-the cele

father of French surgery" He was
surgeon to Henry H.-1552-and also
to Francis H., Charles TX and Henry

melite monk, was renowned for the
manufacture of movable arms and
hands. About the middle of the sew

patriotic Idaho citizens are more than
dee-lighted to lend their assistance to
this same Prekins in getting the best
of a decent man from their own state,
simply because he is not of their polite
al party, by giving the utterances OF the
trust promoter publicity with cute
twists and turnings of their own
devising, at the same time suppressing
all rejoinder on the part Of Mr.. Borah.
Thus they not only treat Mr.. Borah I'M
fairly but they deprive their readers OF
the opportunity of exercising their own
judgment as to the merits of the con-
troversy, unless they seek the informa-
ton elsewhere. This is certainly a
manifestation of high-grade partisan
zeal that should commend itself at it's
true value to an intelligent, fairminded
public and especially to the people Of
Idaho who think Mr.. Borah is a credi-
table representative of their state and
is entitled to at least decent treatment

of his political faith or not

A. r. Parker, who returned last Sat

he ever witnessed In Idaho; that 1t has
become q regular political hodge-podge.

tional government and local self-govern
ment in Idaho and the enforcement of
the unholy and un-American combina
ton between church and state which
now exists would meet with high favor
in the southern counties" Mr. Parker
seems to fear that the temperance lead
ers are about to make the mistake of
forming a coalition with the Mormon
church at q very costly price Tor the
purpose of securing prohibition in the
state, and expresses that view as fol-
lows: ct would state that the existing
conditions indicate hard and fast alli-
ance between plutocracy. polygamy and
prohibition. The proposition seems to
be that Idaho is to be made a prohibi-
ton. state while Utah is to be kept wet
whereby the Mormon church distilleries,
breweries and cooperative stores will
have a mighty nice monopoly of the
liquor business in Idaho. The w. c. T.

GrangeviIIe Churches to observe Sunday

The churches of Grangeville will OBJ
Church Sunday. The movement, which
has caught the attention of the whole
country, cannot be thoughtfully dismiss
ed as merely catchy fad. New at
tention has been focused upon the mes
sage of the church, and interest re-
awakened in a multitude of indifferent
ones. From thousand cities comes
testimony of the popular response to
the idea.
DR.. Edward Thompson, secretary of
the Americans Sabbath Union, is the
originator of the idea. He says: zone
year ago / started the Go-to- Church
Sunday movement In Cincinnati 1t did
not meet with the universal response
the later movements have met, but it
enlisted many churches and was a sue
cess. / never had heard of the idea
being advocated before that time. Since
then j have received hundreds of let
tiers asking me about the work. The
reasons that led me to begin the move
ment were the following: The religious
census of 1912 showed that only about
40 per cent of the people were going to
church and that four fifths of the chill
dren of the United States of school age
did not go to Sunday School. / studied
the history of criminology and found
