Board Advises De'ay.
The most convincing explanation
offered of the conclusion reached To
wait a while longer for any marked

was that the Federal Reserve Board
nad advised delay.
1t is heI,eVabit also that the mere
advertisement of a prospect for an
immediate resumption Of eo open
market dealings in bonds brought To
light prospective selling pressure
from abroad which Intoxicated the
wisdom of prudence, If there was
no other ee0a sion for the Federal RE-

Sexton is shrewd.

Among the tourists who travel
through France, a considerable num-
ber visit the cathedral at Rheims, a
magnificent example of Gothic archi-
lecture. In the tower there is an
enormous clock, and it is the sexton s
business to wind it every day-a very
firing job, as the weights are natural.
ly extremely heavy.
The sexton, however, is a very
shreWd fellow. Whenever he shows
the trippers this wonderful piece Of
mechanism he remarks: Ladies and
gentlemen, if you do not believe me
regarding the heaviness of the clock
weights, try for yourselves"
Each of the trippers Immediately
gives turn or two to the wheel, and
as there are some 200 visitors day
the trippers unconsciously and eager
ly wind the clock for him, and, in
addition, give him an extra tip for
being allowed to do his work.

f. MARRIOTT DIES.
Passes Away at Shoshone After
Months Illness.

E. Marriott, who was sent from mere
some weeks ago to the county farm at
Shoshone, suffering from dropsy, died
Saturday of last week, and was buried
in the Shoshone cemetary. HIS son,
brakeman on Montana railroad, came
down to look after the father, and to
see to the burial. He visited Richfield,
Thursday, in company with Judge Jones
to clear up the business affairs that
the father had left unfinished here.
The father is said to have told various
ones that he carried life insurance
policy for $40, 900 but up to date 1t has
not been located, if it ever existed
The son took charge of all his little be-
longings here, and will investigate this
rumor later. Mr.. Marriott left widow
and grown family, but he had not
lived with them for number of years

GOOD MEETING.
State Irrigation Convention Was
A Great Success.

G. S. Hopes, president of the Rich
field Farmers Society of Equity, was
in Boise this week, attending the Con-
vention of Irrigators and Irrigation En-
gineers. He returned Friday morning,
ready to report the results of the con-
vention to the farmers of the tract.
Mr.. Hopes says that one good hour Of
the addresses and the general discussion
following them, was worth whole
years experience in plain farming, as
an education in methods of irrigation
work. He and L. c. Walker, who went
over as Mr.. Kays' personal represent
ative to read an important paper on lr-
rigation work, have arranged to pre-
pare full report of the meeting for
the Farmers Society of Equity, and the
Recorder expects to publish some or all
of the report At least few of the
more important addresses are to be is
sued in mimeograph form, for general
distribution, and the Recorder may be
able to publish some of them in full.

PECULIAR HOBBY OF A KING

The late king Of Siam had an ex-
traordinary hobby-that of collecting
empty match boxes of all nations. In
this connection an interesting story is
related. During one of his visits to
England the king, while passing down
Bond street cne afternoon, accompan-
jed by two members Of his suite, es-
pied an empty match box, which had
been discarded by its owner and

crowded traffic, grasped the much

compensated him for the risk which
he had run.

]. NJ. Pearson, who returned
the 1st of the week from an ex-
tended visit at Portland, Salem,
and other points up and down
the coast, reports that he had a
regular matinee most of the time
he was away, receiving people
and who wanted to know how
they could get here and secure
a piece of land for a farm. They
have a very soft climate there
so soft that it is muddy under
foot most of the winter and they
would like to get away from 1T.
Mr.. Pearson says he has de-
veloped into quite a lecturer
since leaving home telling all
about Idaho, its soil, climate,
people, business, crops, and what
ever there is here that interests
people. He had enough offers OF

1t is a matter of regret with
the commissioner, that there are
not more wide tired wagons on
the tract. The use Of wide
tires for wagons is pretty well
proven to be constantly helpful
instead of harmful to the roads;

The commissioners will join III

lower thr road taxes as we'll as
make travelling a constant pleas
