IA n lDNAl.E is the center of one ~
AH the largest and best dry-farm
wheat belts of southern ldaho
This is properly called the Pa
louise district of the southern part of
the state. The soil is very fertile and
productive, and the annual rainfall Is
sufficient TO successfully grow grain,
alfalfa and other farm and garden pro-
ducts. Hundreds of thousands of BUSH
els of fine quality grain especially
wheat and barley. are produced in the
Midvale belt. The high prices for
grain the past two years have made a
great many of the farmers here indie
pendent.

PRACTICAL SUBJECTS.

Subjects of practical interest have
| taken their places in high school cur
ricula along with those of custom ard
/, tradition.
Teachers, trustees and patrons have
come to realize that old-type subjects
cannot now be successfully taught in
old-type ways, but that old-type sub
jects need to be enriched by practical
to recognize a personal relationship
with the subject. In addition to
change in subjects and manner of
teaching, many schools are enlarging
the number of their courses and ar
ranging them in different group plans,
such as the six land six plan. This
plan provides for the grouping of the
regular grades of the elementary and
high school, which are Il, into two
equal divisions instead of an eight
and four group. Under the new plan
the tedious repetition of the work of
the seventh. and eighth grades, and
the newt; ole break between the eighth
and ninth grades are eliminated, Adj
voeates of this arrangement declare
that the close relationship of element
airy and high school tends to make

nomic service to the state. The growth
of interest in this need on the part
of the people has resulted in changed
and enlarged ideas of what education
is and in a change in the schools cur
ricula.
We know that for long the basis
and. in fact, almost the entire content
or our elementary school knowledge
rested on the common branches. With
in the last few years marked change
has taken place in almost all conoi-
tons of life and it has become neces-
sary ITO adapt school instruction to
particular needs, and so, many things
of practical life such as agriculture,
manual training and domestic science
have come to have a serious consider
alton in our school rooms.

Big Silver Strike Made in Phoebe.

The strike made in the Greenwood
lease recently has developed into what
is declared to be THE most important
discovery of ore made in any mine II
Phoebe in score of years.
The ore body is a big one and yes
terday the drift showed "a fine face Of
high grade silver lead material which
will easily average $500 per ton
Twelve mine cars OF this material was
hoisted yesterday and much more
could have been had. had the cage
been available. This was due to the
fact that at present the ore mus be
hoisted from No. Amalgamatcd
shaft and the latter company carrying
on development work on the 100
required the cage some of the time
for its own use.
Practically everything coming from
the new strike is shipping ore, but
along side the rich shoot is a larger
quantity OF low grade milling material

he was in session with Superintendent
Ryan OF the local mint and with him
went over the situation as to improve
ments needed i'll the mint building. In
view Of he probability that the busi-
ness OF the establishment will be con-
siderably enlarged in the coming
months many suggestions were made
along those lines.
First is was practically agreed upon
that a new sidewalk would be put
down and the grounds improved. For
the interior OF the building many inn
provements were suggested, chief of
which will be the enlargement of the
rooms for the reception of bullion and
ore samples, new floors in various
parts of the building, new hoods for
the furnaces and the separation of the
assay rooms for bullion and samples.
For these latter new departments will
be created and will be kept apart.
Mr.. Baker stated that supervising
architect would be sent out from
Washington Immediately to look after
these details and on his investigation
and report after returning to the capt.
al contracts for the work would be let.
The improvements will entail the ex-
penditure of several thousands of dol
lars.-Appeal.

ITALIAN COMMISSION
 FINISHES BUSINESS
(By Review Leased wire).

WASHINGTON, June 9-The Ital- ian war mission virtually completed it's conference with American officials today.
 It was understood there was com plete agreement for cooperation be- tween this government and Italy, in cluding unlimited finances and indust- rial aid from the United States.
 Whether the mission will leave Monday for the tour, delayed by the Illness of the Prince of Udine, re mained undetermined. It having fin ished its official duties, the mission is anxious to return to Italy. If the Princes condition will not permit him to travel early next week the mission probably will start on it's tour without him. It was announced tonight the Prince had entirely recovered from his illness but would not be strong enough to travel for a few days.
 Guglielmo Marconi, the scientific member of the mission, is particularly anxious to return to his laboratories to resume his interrupted labors on anti submarine devices. Today he con ferred on anti-submarine methods with the naval consulting board and the British and French scientific com missions in the United States.
