discovered horn silver richer than

Sam, were just pulling out with 3d.
600 pounds of freight on their two
outfits. and Homer Laliberty was sell
ing young spuds at his enclosed field
three miles below the bridge.
When Porter went to town again
to get the pitman. it hadn't come, but
they had a letter saying is was going
to. They would ship it just as soon
las they got some from the east. Mr..
Porter didn't ask Mr.. Beers to phone
Tor write him when it arrived, cause
for why There was no phone in the
country. and ii Beers sent letter,
Porter would not get it until he came
ito town, so what was the use?
Couldn't Beers send word to Porter
by somebody II anybody went that
way? Why, maybe. Bergman and
Rogers drove out to their ranch FIVE
miles above Porter's sometimes, and
they might get word to him that way
Tor they might send it out some day.
Sure, man, that would be handy.
When Porter got back home from
the second trip, he concluded to grind
ibis scythe and proceed with the hay
harvest. A future editor turned the
|grindstone and when the scythe was
in fine trim, Mr.. Porter walked out
to some of the best grass and took a
swing through it. 1t cut just like
The second swing it cut
part of it, and the third one left more
than it cut. The first touch of the
grass had dulled the scythe. Mr..
Porter hooked the instrument on his
right arm and promenaded back to
the cabin, hung it up and sat down.
AS he did so he remarked, TITS up

affected by the overflow OF Snake
river The grit in the water at food
time left sediment on the blades of
grass and made it hard to NOV, as
Mr.. Porter learned by a peculiar ex-
perience. He had moving machine
which he had brought out from Kan
sas, and he made several harvests in
the wild hay near Danilson spring.
In 1885 when he started to cut his
hay on the new homestead there was
considerable driftwood on the fiat,
and he cleared most of it on before
he began to NOW. There were small
sticks that he had overlooked, and
one of them caught in the sickle and
broke the pitman. Query: did Mr..
Porter telephone to Jim Martin to
send him a new pitman by parcels
post, and get it into this mornings
mail SO Grant Holt end Dorothy
would get it to him within the next
hour or two? Not h.. This is what
he did:
He unhitched the mules they
were Reese's mules and. then he
went out into the field and got a
saddle horse the one he called
Prince. Then he rode to Snake river
bridge and tied Prince to the wing
fence and walked across the bridge
and into town, a mile and quarter
You wonder why he didn't ride
Prince across; was Prince afraid to
cross the bridge or what? Why, ii
was toll bridge and it cost dollar
to ride horse across it, and Porter
probably had a dollar, but he needed
it to buy sugar so Mrs. Porter could
can some of the wild currants that
grew in the brush where the bear
scared her one day. Well, Porter
went to the forwarding clerk, Mr.
Beers, at Bunting's store, and be-
tween them they picked out pitman
lin the catalog, and Beers wrote to
George A. Lowe at Ogden, and order
ed it to come by express They
thought it would be up here in three
days, but to make sure, Porter was
advised to come in on the fourth day
Porter then got the mail and the dol
lars worth of sugar and looked
around a little to see what was the
news. A fellow named George Hafer

Some of the guests who are we'll

shift, and he displayed his usual abil-
ity to jolly back at them. After the
last course had been served he made
the announcement that the next thing
would be something else, and follow

no, and has Travelled over 500 miles
iby auto in visiting the various Sec
Itions, gathering data with reference
to the depth of wells to secure water
for domestic purposes, with view
of using this information before con-
gress in support of his bill to require
residence only on dry lands where
water can be obtained for domestic
Purposes at depth of so feet.
The settlers have appointed Mr..
Henry c. Gettert, of Twin Falls. to
assist Congressman Smith in gather
ing this information and to take pho
tographs of the growing crops and
improvements on the dry land home
steads, to be exhibited by Mr.. Gettert
by lantern slides before the commit
tee on public lands, house of repre-
sentatives, Washington, D. c., when
the proposed measure is taken UP for
consideration by the committee, when
congress convenes. 1t has been
found that in many instances the set
tiers have to haul water for long
distance, in some cases as far as 10
miles, for domestic purposes, and also
that frequently it is kept standing in
barrels until 1t is unfit to drink, be-
cause of the expense incident to haul
ing the water, and the lack of means
Of the homesteader.
Mr.. Smith contends that the set
tiers should be allowed to offer proof
of cultivation as an evidence of good
faith, rather than to be required to
live upon the land. Great hardship
is entailed upon the entrymen and
their families by requiring them to
live on the land or run the risk Of
having their entry contested. If resi-
dence was not required many men
without capital would be able to get
a homestead and make themselves
independent, but il they are required
to live upon the land they are de-
prived of the opportunity of earning
money at wages and because Of their
being so remote from the market, and
unable to raise garden, often suffer
for the necessaries of life. Mr.. Smith
argues that there is no more reason ,,
for requiring the settlers to live upon
the dry land than to require them to
live on land when entered under the |
desert land law, and will endeavor to
secure the cooperation of the west
ern senators and members towards |
securing the enactment of law next
winter. which will permit entrymen
under the dry land law to live where
they please within the state, as is
the case under the desert land law,
but require that as an evidence Of
good faith at least one sixteenth OF /
the land shall be cultivated the first
year, one eighth the second year, and
one fourh the third year.

RULES FOR TOURING
II YELLOWSTONE PARK
Regulations are made and Stiff Fines
viii be Assessed for violation.
One Dollar Per Minute Fine for Be
ing Behind the Schedule Rates
Charged for Cars.

The new rules and regulations gov
erning the admittance and touring Of
automobiles in the Yellowstone Ma.
tional park, have been issued and
copies Of them have been forwarded
to Boise autoists. AS there are many
owners of machines in this city and
southwestern Idaho who plan tc
make the park trip this summer over
the state highways, the rules are Of
more than passing interest.
Prominent features in the regula.
tions are that horse-drawn vehicles
always have the right Of way and that
motorcycles are not allowed in the
park under any consideration. Also
there can be no hiring of automobiles
and these machines may not be used
in taking local trips at the different
stations. The trip through the park
may be made by automobiles in two
days by leaving out the trip to Nam
moth Hot springs and in three days
including that trip.
In leaving camps, the automobiles
must start before the horse-drawn
vehicles; they must not exceed the
prescribed speed limits; they must
not travel closer to one another thar
100 yards at any time and one must
not pass another while both are in
motion going in the same direction
Speed limits are II miles an hour as
tcending; 10 miles an hour descend
ing; eight miles an hour on approach
ling sharp curves and 20 miles an
hour on straight stretches.
| Fees to be collected for automo-
biles are for runabouts, So; for five
passenger cars, $3.50; for seven pas
enger cars, $40; and for larger cars
SIS.
Fines or other penalties will be as
sessed for failure to live up to the
regulations. Automobiles will have
a leeway of time in which to arrive
and they must make the trip near
this schedule time. For instance, the
machines on entering the park will
leave the west entrance not earlier
than 1884 a. m. and not later than
7:15 a. NJ, and they must arrive at
Fountain, distance of 81 miles, not
earlier than $3.50 a. m. and not later
than 8 a. m. A close schedule like
this is maintained all through the
park and penalties are to be fine of
SO cents minute for each of the first
five minutes that the machine gets in
ahead of time; 81 a, minute for each
of the next 20 minutes, and fine of
$25 or election from the park or both
these punishments for machines ar
irving 25 minutes ahead of schedule
In case the machine is disabled or for
other reason is unable to complete
the trip on schedule time, 1t will be
required to park near the trail, but
out of the way and remain there until
the next schedule for automobiles is
in effect.
The government has closed ten
miles of the roadway for repairs and
in the meantime the stages are re-
quired to use an old freight road.
These ten miles are dusty and it will
be probably two weeks before the
main road is open for use again.
When this stretch of road is opened,
however, it will be a boulevard,
smooth as floor and oiled so that
there will be no dust. Idaho Regis

BRAIN WORKERS

Medical expert
TBy Latest MALL

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Stop think
ing and get longer lease on life.
This is the advice of Professor Louis
F. Bishop of the Medical School of
Fordham University in New York city
There's no telling what terrible things
may result if a man uses his brain
too much, according to Professor
Bishop, and the greater thinker he
is the shorter he will live To live
long a man should give up profession
al work, research studies and wild or
gies in philosophical CONCENTRATIONS.
Digging bitches, working in steel
mills or acting as coal passer on
board steamship ought to prolong
life for many years. Professor Bishop
declares that to get your brain down
to regular form takes forty years
training, and then ought to be good
for service for forty years more. This,
( however. doesn't go as rule for
deep thinker, for his brain gets over
worked and gives out soon after it is
running right. -. -.-~ y, ..-.t..
