TWO GULF STREAMS.
Tho One Of Air Is What Creates tho
Deserts of the East.

tUo O"o W MT - WUdS Oroatoo tn0
Deserts of the East.
The gulf stream, as every one knows.
is broad river of warm water which
starts in the gulf of Mexico. wanders
across the cold Atlantic ocean and
bumps into the British isles. giving
them wars climate and no end of fog
and rain. But few people know that in
the atmosphere above there is a second
gulf stream OF warm, moist air.
This slow, damp breeze strikes the
British isles and does not carom off
like the gulf stream. but continues over
Europe. AS 1t passes over Sweden, Fin.
land and northern Russia these cold
lands chill the wind and cause it to
drop its moisture in the form of rain.
The lakes and rivers of these northern
countries are all supplied by the mois-
ture taken up from the gulf stream.
The rotation of the earth makes this
wind veer gradually to the southward
about the time it has given up the last
of its moisture and warmth. AS a
mighty draft of dry. cold air. the gulf
stream wind moves on across the plains
OF Russia. AS it approaches the equa-
tor the wind warns again, but becomes
ever drier.
At last. as it sweeps over Turkestan,
Arabia and Sahara, 1t evaporates like
a great sheet of botting paper all water
it meets, forming the deserts of Turke-
stan, Sahara and Arabia. Fortunately
this devastating wind now leaves the
continent, becomes the trade winds and
returns to its starting point at the gulf
of Mexico
Several somewhat visionary schemes
have been suggested for altering the
course of the gulf stream. One of the
immediate results of any such change
would be the shifting OF the present
deserts to other parts of the world

An Inch of Rain,

An inch of rainfall is equivalent 70
GOU barrels Of forty-dve gallons each to
the acre. This amount of water weighs
over 113 tons. Think of hauling it to
the farms in wagons holding a ton
each! That seemingly light air and
clouds are capable Of handling this
enormous amount OF water is one Of
the mnrvels OF meteorology. One inch
OF rain is not such heavy rainfall.

Too Much Draw

Carson Smith believe advertising
pays. They advertised a special wood
at $3.50 the tier. They ordered the
ad run twice. but had disposed of
the entire two cars of this wood be-
fore the paper appeared the second
time and phoned in, For goodness
sake kill the ad; we ars spending all
our time telling people we have sold

However, Carson-Smith realize
that printers ink has wonderful

entire lot of wood was sold in less

FAREWELL RECEPTION
rendered by Social Science Club
to Mr.. and Mrs. Williams

The Social Science Ladies rendered a
very enjoyable farewell reception to
Mr.. and Mrs. C. T. Williams, at the
Richfeld Hotel, Friday night. The af-
fair was made Guest Night" for all
the members and their families. More
than forty members and guests were
present. One of the attractions of the
evening was radioscope exhibition of
a series of post cards showing a trip
through the Yellowstone National Park.
Several delightful musical numbers
were given by members of the Circle,
and a most wonderful farewell address
composed for the guests of honor, by
A. G. Draper and the assembled COM
pany. Mr. Draper had written skel-
eton testimonial to the Williamses,
leaving blanks for the company to sup
ply adjectives, without their knowing
what was to be the text Of the article
for which they supplied the words. 1t
was most fearfully and wonderfully
constructed document, and evoked no
end of fun in the reading. Light re-
freshments were served at the close of
the program.

With the Busy Little Politicians
Sane and Insane Guesses and Possibilities for the Com
ing Fray---Pertinent and Impertinent Diagnoses
of What's Happening, and Why It's So

honest and intuitive judge, who gave
common sense decisione that no one
could attack. Technical skill is easier
to acquire, easier to find, than judicial
temperament; and the loss of Judge
Walters will be keenly felt. His resig-
nation, however, leaves the field open
for other aspirants.
1t is certain that if the governors
staff makes a junketing trip to San
Francisco to open the Idaho building at
the Panama Exposition, it will be a
pretty costly junket for the administra-
ton. The Brady episode at the Seattle
exposition was a formidable campaign
argument, and Brady got the axe in
the following election. 1t has been
suggested that it would be good politi-
cal policy to let them pay their own
way, from governor down to bootblack;
or else, cover the cost into some unob-
trusive fund where it wouldent holler
at everybody who passes by.
No one can we'll doubt that statewide
prohibition will be plank in every one
of the state platforms this year. 1t has
been suggested that maybe the demo-
cratic party would be silent, or possibly
even espouse the open saloon; but this
is not we'll possible there are too many
men and women there who will not stand
for such reversion. With all parties
endorsing the prohibition cause, it will
not be direct partisan ISSUE which
will make for far better government
than if the fight were made between
one party endorsing and the other op-
posing the law.

MAGIC DAM FILLING
Heavy Snowfall Last Winter is
Cause for COngratuIatiOn

Water is beginning to come up in the
big Magic dam, which supplies the Ida
no Irrigation Co. tract. There is an
abundance of snow back in the hills,
and there is no doubt as to the suffi-
cheney of the water supply for the sea-
son. 1t is expected that there will be
enough to flow over the spillway, by
the last of May or the first of June. So
abundant has the snowfall been this
season, that the company contemplated
draining the reservoir, the first of
March, SO as to get down to see how
the gates and the approach to the tun-
mel had stood the three years immersion
and service. 1t wasn't necessary, as
everything has been in the most per-
feet condition, and SO the reservoir was
not drained as contemplated. Had it
been done, there would still have been
enough water to fill the reservoir to
overfowing, so plentiful is the snow
supply. The real flood has not yet be
gun to come; it will not do so until
warmer nights are here that will not
freeze and so check the melting of the
snow.

some of the summer diseases. Typhoid
fever and the summer diarrheas usual
ly occur among those who suffer in the
spring from Spring Fever. Spring
Fever gives US timely warning that we
are overworking our vital organs. The
man that develops Bright's disease and
other chronic diseases of worn-out or
gans is usually chronic sufferer from
Spring Fever.
To cure Spring Fever and to avoid
both the acute and the chronic disorders
that follow in its wake, we should cut
down the amount of heavy food we eat,
meat, potatoes, bread and sweets, and
permit the body to unload the accumu-
lated excess. We should eat lightly dur
ing the spring and give the body organs
the half holiday that nature intended
they should have after their winter
work.

SPRING FEVER
This Common, Trivial Affection
is Natures Danger Signal.
By DR.. R. R. Daniels.

Dy LII. ~ II. OduleiS.
AS the warm weather Of spring takes
the place of winter, does that tired
feeling" come over you, and do you
find yourself victim to Spring Few
err" If so, you are really i'll. Spring
Fever is not laziness. 1t is not mental
disorder. 1t is real physical disease.
Spring Fever means that your body
is filled with waste material from
heavy food The man who has Spring
Fever has been eating, during the
winter, more heavy food than his body
could use up, until in the spring his
body is filled with accumulated waste.
By his winter overeating the man has
also been overworking his liver, kidneys
and other organs of elimination, until
as spring apprhaches those faithful or
gans begin to lag in their work and to
take a partial rest. Furthermore the
candidate for Spring Fever usually adds
materially to the accumulated load of
winter waste by failing to cut out a
part of his heavy food as warm weather
comes on. That which in cold weather
was used up in keeping the body warm,
in warm weather becomes burden.
Spring Fever in itself is a trivial disor-
der, but it is very important in that it
is warning that we are overworking
our vital organs, and that our disease
resisting power is low The man with
Spring Fever in the spring, frequently
falls in the summer, by reason of his
disease-favoring condition, victim of

R. D. Addison returned last week
from Boise, to again take up his resi-
dence on his farm north of town. He
says that the Recorder has put him on
probation, if it hasn't actually got him
into serious trouble, in telling of his
prize pigs last fall. He sold two g.
months pigs that weighed 258 pounds
each, and the Recorder said they were
feed on corn and milk diet; whereas he
had only quart of buttermilk in three
weeks, and that was for batter cakes
only and not for the pigs; and he has
been served notice that if he's going to
feed the buttermilk to the pigs he won t
get anymore. The pigs made their
whole growth on alfalfa pasture, and
corn.

BIG BOB-CAT BAGGED
A Long Shot by Henry Mapes
Brings Good Results


Henry Mapes brings an interesting
story from the Big Wood river, where
he and some of the family were visiting
Sunday. They were out along some Of
the rough country northwest of town,
when he spied a big bob-cat summing it
self on the rocks. The children wanted
him to "shoot it" He had only %
calibre, Winchester special rifle, which,
though known to be a fine weapon and
a strong shooter, is not guaranteed for
any such game or any such distance.
But he took careful aim, and fired one
shot, and the bullet struck the big cat
square it the head, killing it instantly
as if it had been cannon ball. The
distance, which they stepped off accur-
ately, was ITS steps; and the cat weigh
ed 65 pounds, and measured feet l-2
inches from tip to tip. 1t was big
enough animal to have killed horse if
it had chosen to do so. and man with
out weapons would have little more
chance with it than with runaway To-
comotive. The skin was an especially
fine one.

among former republicans, and it is al
together natural that they should affili
ate. A man hardly changes morality
or capability when he decides to vote
another ticket from tho ons he has
heretofore voted. 1t is altogher prob
able that, since the movement is still SO
closely in touch with the republican
party, there will be some agreement.
But that remains to be seen.
Mr.. Gipson is most sanguine as to the
result in the state this fall. He believes
that if Haines is nominated, the Pro-
gressives will have cinch. In this he
is joined by so many good republicans,
that with the present indication that
the governor will control the organiza-
ton and the nomination. Mr.. Gipson
has cause for felicitation. The one
thing the progressive leaders fear, is,
that this neat little program will be
headed off, the republican nominee will
be clean and strong, like Senator Davis,
and then they'll have to fight 80 hard
that the democracy will win. But they
are all praying that it's HainesI

The constitutionality of the act of the
late legislature of the state of Idaho,
creating the Public Utilities commits
sion came before the Supreme Court
Friday, and was attacked through an
application filed in the above court by
the Beavea River company and the
Idaho Light and Power company. This
appeal to to the supreme court attacks
line of decisions of the public utilities
commission which seem to restrict or
destroy all competition in the public
service field of Southern Idaho, and lay
the foundation for similar restriction
all over the state.
By these decisions the Idaho Light &
Power company, which is the successor
to the Beaver River Power company,
is excluded from operating in compe-
tition to the Great Shoshone concern
in the Twin Falls territory.
The Beaver River Power company
was excluded from operating in com
petition in the recognized field of the
Southern Idaho Power company in the
Pocatello territory. The Public Utili-
tiles commission ordered both compa-
MES to cease construction work in these
respective cities. 1t found that they
had not complied with the law or ap-
piled for or had been granted certifi-
Gates of public necessity to operate in
those cities. The Great Shoshone COM
pany and the Southern Idaho company
attacked the Idaho Light and Power
