LITERARY FLAVOR IN
NEWSPAPERS

The purchase by Frank Munsey OF
the New York Press, has set a host
OF newspaper writer's and reader to
Ialking about the distinctive charac.
terlstics for which the old Sun was
so famous. Other newspapers have
had an equally strong individuality,
but It would be hard to find anywhere
in the world journal that attracted
20 its stan such brilliant staff of
writer's, with such gift for pictures
que description.
Much as the literary favor Of the
Sun under Mr.. Dana has been ad-
mired, there seems no great demand
now for newspaper work OF that type.
Plenty OF men OF literary gifts are
employed In newspaper work. But
the hustle and drive OF modern news
paper production tends to repress lit.
erary feeling and blunt the edge OF
this form OF genius.
Producing a popular newspaper has
become matter Of systematic, ener.
getlc, and untiring collection of news,
rather than that of facpe. graceful
or sparkling style of putting it into
words. The modern reporter is sent
out to cover the widest ground, to
tramp the greatest number OF miles,
10 interview the greatest number of
people.
Whereas once he was given little
more leeway in the production of his
copy, and could revise and brighten
his thought, now his news may be
delivered OF hand over the telephone.
IT has as much literary grace and

THE PERIL OF
CPIDEMICS

When one reads in history Of how
great plaques like small pox used to
sweep cities out Of existence and de-
Vastate whole sections and countries,
perhaps the biggest of the advances
of modern science is suggested. To-
day an epidemic that carries off a
hundred people in a single locality is
unusual. Railroad stations are crowd
ed with persons seeking places Of
safety for children, and people get
very panicky.
like the infant paralysis epidemic
now raging in New York, there Is
every reason for the most serious
concern. The peril of such copta
gion is not exaggerated. A physician
was speaking recently of his expert
cnce a few years ago in his home
town, where this disease got very
considerable start. He Is not a man
given to over caution, in fact is quite
the opposite. a doctor who believes
his patients should do things, that
they should take chances, and is al.
ways optimistic that perils will be
avoided.
This doctor, with his hopeful tenn
permanent, went so far as to tell his
wife and children to stay indoors ev.
cry moment that they could. He
felt the peril so keenly that he would
have all social and amusement life
stop until the disease could be put
under control.
No disease takes more pitiful toll
OF human life than this scourge now
raging in New York. It takes the
brightest and healthiest children and
in q few hours so withers vital ele-
Inents OF their nervous system that
they are almost fortunate II life
OF crippled existence is saved by a
speedy and fatal end.
Whenever any such epidemic starts.
the public owes It to itself to COOP
crate In the heartiest way with health
authorities. The majority of people
are so thoroughly frightened at con-
tagious diseases nowadays. that they
do thus cooperate much better than
in any other aspect OF civic life. Still
there are always thoughtless per.
sons, who should know better. who
allow children to take part freely In
all kinds of miscellaneous gather
ings.

feeling as any off hand conversation
that you hear In railroad train or
street car, and not a bit more. The
public demands to know what has
happened and II does not insist that
the story be told with any regard to
rhetorical force or even grammatical
construction.
To many discriminating readers,
this change las been unwelcome. Yet
modern methods Of news collecting

WORK TO START ON NEW CHURCH

The contract for the new Catholic
church at this place has been let to
the Madison Lumber company, of
Grangeville, and the manager of that
company, and Rev. Father r. F. Zuur
were in town Wednesday making the
necessary plans to begin the construc-
ton work within the next week or ten
days. The building will be a neat
little structure, 20x50 feet and will be
located on Joseph street, a block west
of the Winchester Inn, adjoining the
residence lot of S. S~priggs', on a lot
5Ox140 feet. AS soon as the church is
completed Rev. Father Zuur will hold
services therein regularly every second
Sunday of the month both at 9 o'clock
in the morning and at 1880 in the even
ing. Heretofore it has been necessary
to hold services around at the homes
of the congregation hence the new
church home will be appreciated by
them. 1t will also help to make our
town a more attractive place for a
home, especially to those of that faith
who are looking for a desirable loca-
ton to settle. Rev. Zuur is entitled to
much credit for his untiring efforts to
secure the necessary funds for this

DRAFT HORSES ARE
IN STRONG DEMAND

A good draft stallion must weigh at
maturity from 1880 to 1000 pounds.
In my estimation excessive size does
not u for anything in a good sire,
writes a correspondent of the Kansas
Farmer. One will get a more uniform
and sounder lot of colts from a stall
lion Of average size than from one Of
over size. A good draft stallion should
stand at least sixteen hands three
inches or seventeen hands in height.
and his depth through the chest should
be equal to one-half his height. His
other proportions should be according
ly. Such a stallion crossed on good
high grade mares should produce geld
ings from sixteen and one-half hands
to seventeen hands in height, and If
they are to command the best prices
they should be of good draft conforma-
ton, having well set legs, large. round.
well shaped feet Of durable texture
and should weigh from 1850 pounds
to 1,75O pounds in good working condi-
ton at five years of age or at full ma
turity. A stallion that will sire this
kind of gelding must necessarily be
absolutely sound and possess good

sent by the local organization, practice
for the full band will be delayed for
ten days or two weeks more.
The instructor, Prof. A. A. Shattuck,
is expected to arrive here by the first

his shoe shop and household in apple
pie shape, it is hoped that the instru-
ments will have arrived and business
from a band standpoint will open with
a rush.
The beginners music has arrived,
and a number, who have their instru'

it with a vengeance.

had been set for the l4th, has been
postponed until April 2Sth, and unless
pulled off with great pomp and splen'

WAS AN EXPENSIVE WINTER.

Charlie Albin left yesterday for his
home on Rapid river above Pollock af-
ter spending several days in the city
visiting with old friends. Charlie said
the white fish are biting fine now
in the Little Salman and he wanted to
get home and see if one wouldn' t jump
out on the bank at him and give him
an excuse to hit it with a club in self
defense, even if April is a closed month
of fishing. Speaking of stock condi-
tons up the river, Charlie said the Holt
& Rhoades firm came through the win
ter in fine shape and with very little
loss, but it was principally due to the
large amount of feed they had on hand.
The past few winters have been very
light and little feeding was required
and as a consequence they had almost
four years hay crop on hand, which
put them through the winter in fine
shape. However, they figure the hay
and cost of feeding would easily total
S $500, which is rather an expensive
winter even for a large firm.-Cotton-

style and action. If he is a sire of good
geldings he will also sire the right kind
of mares.
1t should be the chief aim Of the
breeder who would make his business
pay the most revenu to produce the
best horses possible for him to breed,
as a good horse is more easily sold,
brings nearly double the price Of the
ordinary one and costs no more to pro-
duce. One safe guide to remember In
breeding is that like produces like, and
II one would raise good colts he must
breed to good stations.
Great care should be used In select
ing a stallion suitable for use on the
mares in the vicinity in which he Is to
stand for service. II the mares are
light boned and small no attempt should
be made to breed the very largest type
of stations on them the first cross. but
instead q medium sized stallion should
be used. On the produce resulting the
heavier and larger types of stations
can be used. If the mares TO be bred
are coarse boned, coarse jointed, slug
gish mares a stallion should be selected
to overcome these faults. He should be
Of fine conformation, yet possessing
sufficient bone Of good quality. He
should be of fiery temperament and
very energetic to give more ambition
and style to the colts. In short, a stall
lion selected for public service in a
community should be selected to over
come the faults most common to the
mares of that vicinity.
If patrons have a preference as to
color secur what a majority of them
want and not what most appeals to
ones personal fancy. This will mean
dollars and cents at the close of the
season.

Although the need OF c~onsiderobl,

on by mail with those pupils who can
not attend the university in person.
The extension work of the university
is carried on through two coordinate
units: the agricultural extension divi.
sion, which has headquarters at Boise

Moscow. In general the university
division seeks to serve city and town
as the agricultural division meets the
needs of rural communities. The 40.
ricultural division is supported by fed.
eral and state funds and it is able to
operate without charging fees; the mi.
verslty division has no general main.
tenance fund and is therefore Obliged
to make a small charge for correspon.
dence study courses and for lectures.
The university extension division
seeks to put the resources of the uni
versity at the service of the state with
out regard to campus residence. The
work of this division includes CORES.
pondence coursese of study. lectures.
reading outlines, conferences, and in,
formal assistance in civic and educa.
tional problems.
After explaining the basis on which
credits for work are given, the courses
which are not intended for university
credit, and the system of fees and reg
%istration, the bulletin takes up a des-
cription of the offered courses in animal
~husbandry, dairying, farm crops, horti-
culture, botany, economies, education,
engineering, English, German, Greek,
history, home economies, Latin, mathe-
MATES, photography, psychology, Ian
