Life

Life
The poets exclamation: 20 Life!
feel thee bounding in my VEINS
is a joyous one. Persons that can
rarely or never make It, in honesty
to themselves, are among the most
unfortunate. They do not live, but
exist; for to live implies more than
to be. To live is to be we'll and
strong-to arise feeling equal to
the ordinary duties of the day, and
retire not overcome by them-to
feel life bounding in the veins. A
medicine that has made thousands
of people, men and women, we'll
and strong, has accomplished a great
work, bestowing the richest bless
ings, and that medicien is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. The weak, rundown,
or debiIitated, from any cause,
should not fail to take 1t. 1t builds
up the whole system, changes ex-
istence into life, and makes life
more abocnding. We are glad to say
these words in its favor to the read
ers of our columns.

Want More People

The momentous problem in Idaho
at the present time is, and will be:
We want more thrifty people to
come among US and cultivate our
lands. Hundreds and thousands of
acres of fertile soil awaits the COM
ing of settlers to make them pro-
ductive, and yet in other parts of
the country people are land hungry,
who could and would come and add
prosperity to the state if they but
knew.
Next year there will be coming d
steady stream of people from all
parts of the globe bound for the
Panama-Pacific exposition. and at
least one third of these visitors will
have an eye open for an opportunity
to locate and better their conditions
in life. A large majority of them
have never before been west of the
Rockies, but have read of it as a
land of promise, and will see for
themselves the desirable conditions.
The last state legislature made a
mistake of cutting off the appro-
priation for the immigration office
just at the time when it is most need.
ed. Economy is splendid idea
but it should be practiced with dis
cretion. Would it not be the bes
economy for Idaho to make the
biggest appropriation in its histor,
for the immigration office next yea
to 60 after new settlers.
Idaho has 35O,OOO people nov
resident within its borders, and W
want 350,O0O more.
The state appropriated $1OO,OO'
to advertise its resources at tn
Panama Pacific exposition. Thous
ands, if not millions, of people wi
l see this exhibit, and many thousand
s.. of them will want to know more {
bout this great state that has sue
t wonderful resources.

CORRECT ACCOUNT
OF SUICIDE.

Mrs. Grace Dillman met her death
Monday April 13 at the home of
uncles. Mason and William Mccoy,
of Texas Ridge, by committing
suicide.
Monday afternoon about one o.
clock, after the men folks had gone
to work, taking twelve gauge shot
gun from its place she started to-
ward the door. Her mother, who
has very delicate health, realizing
her intention tried to prevent her
from opening the door, but her
efforts were futile. Her mother
saw her 60 few rods from the door
and kneeling down put the muzzle
of the gun to her forehead, she
quickly called the neighbors by the,
telephone but before she had finish
ed she heard the report. She rushed
from the house to get the men at
work. She was so weak from ex-
citement that it was necessary to
exert her utmost power to find them.
Help was received and Mrs. Dillman
was carried into the house. Her
skull was shattered and a great hole
was torn in the top of her head, she
lived about two hours and half
after the shooting, but was un-
conscious. Two cartridges we're
found in her clothing. Insanity is
thought to be the cause of the deed.
Interment took place at the Wild
Rose Cemetary Tuesday afternoon,
services were rendered by Rev. j.
K. Craig of Kendrick. The funeral
was we'll attended and large pro-
cession followed. The pail bearers
were six girls. Edna Sturman., Clara
Sturman, Mae LaBolle, Carrie La.
Bolle, Mildred Wiswell and Grace
Sturman.
Mrs. Dillman made threats pre-
viously and showed signs of insanity
but at the time the deed was com
mited her mother was unable tt
prevent it.
= Mrs. Grace Dillman formerly Mis-
Grace Webber was born April 81
e 1894 in Okanogan County, Wash

Idaho's Debt

From 1880 to 1912, the indebted
ness of Idaho increased more rapidly
than did the population, according to
a bulletin pertaining to state and
national Indebtedness. issued by the
census bureau, department of COM
merce and labo..
The bulletin shows that during the
period covered by the statistics the
population of the state more than
quadrupted, but the total debt of
Idaho more than kept pace with the
increase in population. The state
debt at the close of the fiscal year
in 1880 was $83,O0O; in 1912 was
$2.451,OOO. The population of the
state increased from $4,000 in 1880
to 10000 in 1912. In 1880 the
per capita debt was $2.54; in 1890
it was $2.45; in 1912 the amount
was reduced to $1.o5 but in 1912
was increased to $5.o2. The in
crease is attributed by the bulletin
to constantly increased bond issues.
An inspection of the table for Ida
no in the bulletin soon to be issued
shows that only biennial reports were
obtainable. The amount of the
bonded Indebtedness increased from
STAT, 900 in 1890 to So, 3o4 900 in
1912, while the floating debt, though
changing greatly during the period
covered, showed a general decrease
from $o3, 900 in 1890 to $50, 900 ir
1912.

ments no statistics we're available fol
