INFORMATION RELATIVE
TO ASSAYS AND ANALYSES

The school of mines is glad to ex.
anime and in a general qualitative
way to determine free of charge the
character and approximate compost
ton of mineral specimens sents to II
for Identification by residents of the
state.
In connection with the work of the
U. S. bureau of mines and of the
state geological survey it would be
glad to have full information, which
will be held as confidential If desir.
ed, of the source and manner of oc.
currence of the deposit from which
the sample or specimen is taken. Fol
the geological museum the school OF
mines solicits good specimens of all
kinds of minerals and where the
specimens are used for exhibition
purposes the donors name will ap-
pear on the card.
Without special appropriation
for the purpose, it is not possible for
us to make assays or exact quantita
tive or extensive qualitative analyses
free of charge, and it will generally
be found more advantageous to have
work of this character done by COM
petent assayers of whom there are
many in the larger towns of the
state. At the same time it Is recog-
nized that cases may arise in which
the verdict of the school of mines is
desired and in such cases determine
lions will be made and charged for
at the usual standard rates.
Responsible. parties desiring to
have tests made to determine the
best method of treatment for their
ore will be given every possible as
sistance.
So far as it's appropriations will
permit, and the carrying on of the
regular Institutional work will al
low, residents of Idaho may count
upon their school of mines to assist
in every way in the promotion of
the mineral industry of the state.

LA TOILETTE MAKES
ATTACK ON PRESS

United States Senator Robert M
La Toilette of Wisconsin, addressing
large gathering in the Coliseum to-
day under the auspices of "The Peo-
pies Church." made up of Socialists
headed by Professor Scott Nearing,
attacked the American press, declar-
ing that American newspapers are
for the most part controlled by the
war party" the financial interests
of the country.
He declared that his reamrks in
St. Paul last week were misconstrued
and that he was being deliberately
misquoted thruout the country.
81 am one citizen of the United
States who is ready to go against
the wall to preserve democracy"
said Senator La Toilette.
Mr.. La Toilette declared that the
president of the United States sway
ed congress to such an extent that
the declaration of war was not the
representative opinion of a demo-
cratic government. He advocated
war in defense only and in case OF
aggression to submit the question to
the people of the nation in the form
ora referendum.

Some Men Hustle to Get Into Bust.
ness and Some Have Business
Thrust Upon Them.
Some men have hard time get
ting into business and others have
business thrust upon them. Mr..
Wedel was one of the latter class.
When he was going to school he was
studying the question of what voca-
ton he would take up and finally,
when he was a student in the Uni
versity of Idaho, at Moscow and
came home for the Christmas holt
days he was confronted with the
order to cancel his engagements at
school and go to work as salesman
and warehouseman for the Valley
Supply company, to fill a place UNI
expectedly made vacant. With bust
ness thrust upon him in this way
the question of what vocation he
would select solved itself and he set
tied down to mastering the prob
lens of general merchandising. That
was in Janaury, 1911, and he has
been busy at the trade these several
years, having made for himself a
reputation for usefulness and de-
pendability in the working corps of
that big store. Mr.. Wedel's father
was one of the founders of the bust
ness, and Alfred, is one of the live
young men who has always been
ready to do his part in all the under
takings of the town.

UNITED STATES BONDS

fThe United States government is
sues bonds in two forms: Cd Bearer
bonds with interest coupons attach
ed, commonly called coupon bonds;
| (2) bonds registered both as to
principal and interest. Liberty loan
bonds are issued in both bearer and
coupon forms.
Bearer or Coupon Bonds
| A bearer or coupon bond is pay
able to the bearer, the holder, the
title passing by delivery. The treas
ury department does not require
proof of ownership when such bonds
are presented for payment or ex-
change, the holder thereof being
recognized. Such bonds may be
bought and sold without formality
and without Endorsements of any
kind. Attached to bearer bonds are
sheets of coupons or certificates of
interest. One of these coupons be.
comes due each interest payment
date and should be detached by the
owner of the bond and cashed at his
bank or presented to treasury Of
flee for payment.
Registered Bonds
A registered bond is payable only
to it's owner or his order, and can
be transferred only by being prop
erly Endorsed and assigned by the
owner or payee, and such fact is re-
corded on the books of the treasury
department against the particular
bond indicated. The change in own
ership of a registered bond is effect
ed by the original payee indorsing
and assigning the bond, using the
form on the back thereof in accord
ance with the regulations of the
treasury department. Such assign
ment must be made before an officer
designated by the treasury depart
ment, and such officer must certify
thereto and affix his official seal.
The officers who are authorized to
witness assignments are indicated in
note printed on the back of the
bond. Generally speaking certain
judicial and treasury officers and ex-
ecutive officers of federal reserve
and national banks are authorized |
to witness assignments.
When the owner of a registered |
bond disposes of it and has properly
assigned it, it should be forwarded
at once to the secretary of the treas
ury for transfer on the books of the
department. The bond so forwarded
is Cancelled and a new bond in the
name of the new owner is issued and
sent to the new owner by registered
mail.
The interest on registered bonds is
paid by means of checks drawn by
the secretary of the treasury of the
United States, such checks being is
sued on the day interest is due. They
are sent by mail to the owners of
the bonds.

G. A. BARTEL, MERCHANT

Early Settler Tells of Early Days
Depicts Advantages of the Pres.
emit. Why Some Men Fail; Why
Some Succeed.
G. A. Bartel, the manager of the
Aberdeen Hardware company, was
one of the first settlers on the
American Falls tract, and has farm
ed and merchandise all the while.
He is one of those active men who
gets close to the facts, and then
works by them, and when asked for
his observations about the develop
ment of the tract he said.
1.-THE early settlers had hard
time on the tract. The expense Of
irrigation was so great, and the cost
of water rights had to be met SO
hard struggle to get along. The
crops raised seemed only slight re-
turn when compared with the in
vestment, and when we considered
the great need for immediate re-
turns.
1.-THE dry farmers who went on
their homesteads and went to farm
ing without irrigation had several
favorable years, and they received
the best returns for the amount in
vested They were so prosperous
that for few years they laughed
at the farmers under the irrigation
who were carrying the heavy in
vestment for canals and laterals and
maintenance charges and even then
sometimes failed to get water when
it was most needed on account of
breaks in the canal while the banks
were new and soft.
But that is all changed now, and
the man with an irrigated farm, is
receiving rich returns from his in
vestment and his farming opera
lions, and the dry farm is hardly
keeping pace with him in improve
ment or increase of income. 1t costs
no more to pillow for a crop that is
going to yield large returns than for
a crop that is going to yield only a
little, and in various way intensive
farming under irrigation is holding
out object lessons to show that after
all, the irrigated lands are going to
be the big dividend payers for all
time, and the dry farmers are recog-
nizing this feature and are getting
small farms under the irrigation
system where they can raise hay and
other crops which they do not have
on the homesteads. The irrigated
farm is to be their anchorage, and
their home in winter, and the dry

hip. The bottom of the skirt then was
