Two Sieges.
the New York Times.

1t was 1852 years ago next
month that the last great siege
of COnstantinople began. Mo-
manned II, moved on the city
in February, but the ponderous
character of his artillery made
it impossible to get his weapons
in place for three months long
er; and the real siege began in
April, 1853. 1t lasted fifty
three days, and Mohammed had
a cannon made the diameter of
whose mouth is said to have been
two feet and a half. Stone balls
were still in use in those days.
Mohammed had 10000 men,
while the force of the Christians
did not exceed 5000. The Turk
ish fleet consisted of 800 yes
sells. The Christians were in
adequately supplied with gun
powder, and every repulse they
inflicted on the Turks brought
nearer the day of their own
downfall.
Gathering rams, cannon, and
liquid fire were used constantly
in the attack upon the half-ruin-
ed forts Of Constantinople, and
at one time the Turks sent for
ward a wooden turret on rollers,
which was destroyed by the
Greeks and their allies. A Chris
tian squadron Of only five ships
repulsed the Turks in a desper-
ate naval engagement, though
Mohammed himself, sitting on
horseback on the beach, yelled
reproaches at his sailors and
even spurred his horse into the
sea.
Mohammed conceived the des-
perate operation of carrying his
ships overland from the Bospor-
us into the higher part of the
harbor. In one night the Turk
ish fleet climbed a hill and was
launched, and the upper harbor
was occupied. The Ottoman can
non demolished the Greek forts
in forty days, and the final as
sault began in the morning of
May 20. The Emperor Constan-
tine fought to the last and died
like a hero; and a pitiless sack of
the city began the moment it
fell, under the explicit permits
sion and even order of Moham-
med himself.
An invasion of Servia began
within a few days, and the Turk
was placed firmly on his Euro
pean throne, the throne of which
he has made so little use that is
of any benefit to the human race.
If the operations now being con-
Quoted against Constantinople
end in a victory for the Allies,
retribution will have come at last
after four centuries and a half,
the Turk will give up the power
he has misused, and the Eastern
Empire, under another name,
will come to its own again Mich
olas will take over what Constan-
tine Palaeologus fought to save
and died vainly to protect.

The House Fly-Its Danger and

regarded simply as a pest, espec-
tally to bald-headed men," says
DR.. M. P. Ravenel, Professor of
Bacteriology and Preventive
Medicine in the University of
Missouri at Columbia. within
recent years we have realized
that it is a scavenger by nature
and that its habits of life lead it
to feed on all sorts of materials
which may be infected with the
germs of various diseases.
"The fly walks on bread, fruit
and vegetables, wipes its feet
on butter and bathes in milk it
carries the germs of typhoid
fever, consumption, diarrheal
diseases, diptheria, and scarlet
fever.
The number of broods which
may produce varies from eight
to fourteen a season, according
to the latitude and weather. In
twelve generations the progency
of a single female fly will be more
than 14,O67, 1872, 600, OOO, 900, pro-
yided they all live. The fly pre-
fers fresh horse manure for the
laying Of its eggs, but if horse
manure cannot be found, then
filth Of almost any sort, such as
COW manure, human excrement,
decaying vegetables, meats, gar
bage, or even soiled and moist
rags and paper.
THE only rational and sure
way to get rid of the fly is to pre-
vent breeding,-clean up. Next
to keeping the premises cleaned
up, the most important thing is
to keep houses we'll screened.
Those that do get into the home
should be killed. 1t is especially
important to kill those that APP
pear early in the season. One
fly killed in April means millions
less in August"
Doctor Ravenel says that all
o~uthouses should be kept in clean
and sanitary condition; that the
garbage can should be kept
clean and covered; that horse
manure should be taken out of
stables at least twice a week and
either thoroughly dried or thor
oughly buried. The sprinkling
of a small amount of borax in
layers in manure will prevent the
flies from breedin.

effect in this country of our cod

We are putting a premium on
beggary and crime, a discount

We are substituting luck for

bread-winner is making way for
the self-seeking bread liner.
What s~elf-respect will be left

their fathers did, on their own

bread lines will give them their

raiment by day and municipal

There are unemployed among
the deserving poor. We have
had these in every period of
acute depression. True, also,
that many who suffer now, most
of them in fact, suffer because
they were improvident. If they
had been prudent, they would
have looked ahead and provided
in days of plenty for the rainy
days of want. "Sweet are the

1t will be remembered that Govern
or Alexander in making appoint
ments TO the state board of horticul-
tural inspectors did not follow close
ly the recommendation of the board,
but appointed as one of the members
OF that board a man who had not
been recommended. The secretary
of state refused TO recognize this ap-
pOintment and would not therefore
issue the proper credentials, when
the case was taken before the su-
preme court for a ruling on the ques-
tion. The court handed down its de-
cision last week in which il holds that
the governor is not bound to follow
the recommendations in his appoint
ments The governor at once with
drew all OF his appointments and ap-
pointed new members of the board,
which ii is claimed are in sympathy
with his purposes.
Not only in this board but in other
departments the governor has stirred
up the wrath of some of the republi-
can politicians by his appointments
as we'll as his veto power The su.
preme court will likely be called

unanimous vote the settlers favored
the taking over of the project, under
a new agreement that had been ar
rived al between the settlers and the
company.
This new extension agreement is in
many RESPECTS similar to the one that
has been put into effect on the North
Side tract, although as a whole We
do not deem ii as favorable TO the
settlers AS We take II from the
ldahoian published at Downey. brief
ly stated the points involved in the
new agreement are as follows:
The back interest on contracts is
computed to April /, 1915, and is
made part of the principal of a new
contract bearing date of April l.
1915, with interest at per cent. Col
lection OF interest on these contracts
will be deferred to November g.
1916. and the principal is to be di-
vided into eight equal installments
the first installment to be due Nov. !, -,
lSl with one installment due each
year thereafter The irrigation COM
pany is TO pay the canal company
$500 TO be used in repairs and bet
terment work on the canal system If
contract holders desire an extension
OF time on principal beyond Nov. /.
1917. the irrigation company will on
or before that date exchange its wa
ter right contracts, par for par. for
six per cent district irrigation bonds
these bonds TO run for ten years with
out the payment of any OF the prin-
cipal, and thereafter to be paid of in
annual installments. The irrigation
company is to clear up all water
rights and rights OF way
1t is pleasure to note that one by
one the troubles on the irrigation
projects in Idaho are being settled
and extension agreements being of
fered the settlers which contain
much more favorable conditions thar
those embodied in the original con
tracts. Experience has shown tha
settlers could not comply with tn,
provisions made for payments unde
the original contracts. and those ir
rigation companies who are fnan
cially able were not slow in becoming
wise to this fact and have seen At L

TO SELL ON ITS MERITS.
Land ON the North Side Tract VIII
Hereafter BE Sold According to
Location and Quality.

AT meeting of the state land
board held last week, permission was
granted the Twin Falls North Side
Land & Water Co. to adopt sliding
scale for the sale of the lands on the
segregation still held by them or TO
hereafter come into their possession
through abandonment or other caus-
es. Up until the time the extension
agreement was adopted. all land on
the tract which of course included
water right. was sold at the uniform
price OF $3.50 per acre, regardless
of its location or general character
Hence the first come had their pick
OF the whole field.
Ever since the new management
has taken hold. II is known that a
new system was being worked out by
which the more desirable land could
command better price than the
rough or rocky pieces. Under the
new contract the company were al
ter right to $50 per acre. but under
the new plan which of course called
for another change in the contract
the lands on the tract still in the
hands of the company have been
graded from $50 to $50 per acre. it
being the idea to hold them at al
average OF about $40 per acre
or course the change will not IN
any manner affect present entrymen
except to benefit them il anything. al
II will raise the prece OF desirabl,
land. and consequently enhance tn,
value OF improved property.

Publicity Association Formed.

A movement was set on foot in
Boise recently looking to the organ
ization of some sort OF publicity as
sociation which would be statewide
in its scope, for the purpose of prop
erly advertising Idaho at the San
Francisco exposition. Following a
preliminary meeting held In Boise,
another meeting was held at Nampa
last week when a definite program
was mapped out and the details dis
cussed. These details include the
forming of district branches through
out the state and before the meeting
adjourned. district No. l was orga-
nized at Nampa.
Other district branches will be
formed at all the leading towns in
southern Idaho as fast as the organ
izers can reach the central points.
When a dozen or more districts have
been formed and have elected their
directors. these men will meet and
select permanent officers.
The first object to be accomplished
by the perfected organization will be
that OF placing personal workers al
the exposition to direct attention tc
Idaho's exhibits and tell of the op.
portunities the state offers the home
seeker. 1t is planned to make the as
sociation a permanent one that vii
continue TO advertise Idaho's re
sources in eastern states after tn,

Falls South Side segregation, the
Salmon River tract. the North Side
Twin Falls tract. all that portion Of

for other purposes than immediate
slaughter unless accompanied by a
health certificate issued by a federal,
state or assistant veterinarian stating
the animals have been immunized not
less than l 6 days prior to date OF i'm

The proclamation was issued at the

Glenns Ferry Outdone.

Last week we chronicled an item
regarding a 250 pound sturgeon that
was caught in the Snake River by
some Glenns Ferry boys. but the fol-
lowing which appeared in the Good
ing Leader last week puts the former
item in very Insignificant light:
Speaking about fishing, how would
you feel if you hooked a fish eleven
feet long that weighed 3S5 pounds?
That was the experience OF two Ha-
german boys. Lloyd and Silss Con-
dit. at Lower Salmon Falls last Mon
day The monster fish WAS stur-
geon and was caught on a regular
sturgeon hook, fastened to set line
and baited with white fish.
When they discovered that they
had hooked something the boys went
after il In boat and II towed them
around for some time before they
could get colse enough to stun 1t with
blow on the head. after which they
were able TO land It, 1t measured
eleven feet. one inch. and weighed
3S5 pounds as stated above. The
boys brought the fish to Gooding
Tuesday and retailed II out at Is
cents per pound. This is the eighth
sturgeon they have caught this year
but the others were not so large.
