has made profound impression upon

not only church people but all citizens
of the city through his strong sermons.
His experience in the evangelistc field
is am extended one and the efforts of
him and his co-workers have already
been productive of results. Up to the
present there have been 80 conversions
and the intense interest prevalent
among members of all denominations
in the city and the activity upon their
part in co operating with the evange-
lists has created confidence of great
results. Two hundred voices are
heard in chorus, giving an impressive
volume of sound floating out from the
tabernacle at each service.

RURAL SCHOOL IS
TO Be CONTINUED
Conference on Subject Is
Held and No Change
Seems Probable.

Meridian, April 11.-As a result of
conference last night between repre-
sentatives of the rural high school and
the grade school of this place, it de-
velops that the continuance of the
rural high school is assured. There
has been more or less advocacy for its
abandonment and conversion into a
town high school the past year, ow-
ing to the excessive taxes which have
existed, but sentiment has undergone
q marked change in reference to this
since it is understood that the high
taxes have resulted from payments
made upon a deficit created by the
Withdrawal of several districts after
the formation of the rural high school
which added to the burden of taxation
upon the town.
The consensus of opinion appears t.
be that the interest of the town de.
mands the continuance of the rura
high school and that it's abandonment
would be menace to the future frog
ress of Meridian. The problem will
probably be solved by the curtailmen
Of expenses and by eliminating

BIG IMPROVEMENT IN
CONDITIONS IN BOISE
VALLEY is PREDICTED

That within few Years the Boise
valley is going to surprise even the
most Sanguine, that the increased
product from the farms will be very
marked, the class of stock, now inn
proving, will show an even greater de-
gree of class than during the past few
years and that better houses and barns
and fences will be found on all the
places is the optimistic prediction from
IL practical farmer, w. G. Messersmith

paying particular attention to stock
breeding and farm improvements in his
trips over the country. He states the
valley is settling up with men who un-
derstand farming and gradually they
are getting the land in better shape.
breeding better stock and making sub
stantal improvements.
A goodly number of farmers. Mr..
Messersmith states, have been taking
lessons in gardening from the Chinese
who lie has noticed on numerous oeea-
sions, have raised four crops in a sea-
son off the same tract of ground. It
appears. he states, that half their
secret of success is getting the ground
in excellent condition before planting,
both for handling it easily and also
properly fertilized. Now, he says, a
number of places in the valley are
using the same system with success.
With wholesale dealers looking for
shipments of various products, he an
ticipates the valley will in a few years
be good supply point and that the
class of products raised will be a great
advertisement to this section of the
state.

was painstakingly developing new an

hair, and he was free to look away,
down upon the great ditch where the
endless chain of concrete buckets
added to the deep and widespread
foundations of the dam. Across the
river a group OF hidden sawmills sang
their raucous song. In the middle dis
tance the camp-town city spread
its roughly indicated streets over the
valley level, the tall chimney stacks
of the new cement plant were rising,
and from the quarries beyond the
plant the dull thunder of the blasts
drifted up.
This was not Brouillard's first visit
to the cabin on the Massingale claim
by many. In the earliest stages of the
valley activities Smith, the Buckskin
cattleman. had been Amy Massingale's
escort to the reclamation camp-"just
a couple o. lockers" in Smiths phrase
and the unconventional attitudes
had done the rest. From that day for

well tell you what ! think of you"
So much he was able to say quietly.
Then the control mechanism burned
out in a fash of fiery rage and he
cursed the guest fuently and compre-

and savage threat Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT

But the wave OF insane wrath was
already subsiding. and Brouillard, hall
ashamed of the momentary lapse into
savagery, was once more scowline
down at the pages of his notebook
when the door opened and Quinlan

them-of a woman of a much wider

was piquantly attractive in any char
acter and that he found her marvel
