Sunday School Contest and Enter
tainment.

The contest for best points in s.
s. class work between Mrs. H. H.
Nixon's class OF boys and Esther
Longfellow's class of girls was won
after several weeks trial by the
boys, 100 to 81. The losing class
gave a splendid reception to e@e
winners last Friday night in the
vestry of the church. The room
had been tastefully decorated by
Miss Esther and her girls in gold
and white, their class colors, with
potted plants. After a play on the
lawn the partners for the repast
were chosen by matching cut pic
lures giving much merriment. Fill
ing into the vestry two by two four
were seated to each small White
covered table each with flowers.
Those were present 16 boys and the
same number OF girls, several mem
bers of each class being absent from
sickness or other cause. The girl
walters in butterfly caps served in
Inc taste sandwiches, cake and cocoa
which was consumed in great merri-
ment. Besides the class teachers,
there were present Mr.. Lowry supt,
Mrs. Longfellow, pastor and wife.

Busy Times for the Farmer.

Hunt up the hoe and polish the
plow, rescue the rake it IS garden
time now, garden time means much
for farmers to do plenty Of work,
no time to shirk, feed all the farm
and the city folks too. This Is the
month to make garden, set out
trees, to spray apples and pears for
scab and leaf spot, to set the tur-
key eggs for Thanksgiving market,
to plant corn, the old rule Is to
plant when the beech leaves are the
size of squirrels ears.
Reports that reach us indicate
nearly a normal crop is being
planted this spring. Farmers are
not breaking their necks or going to
unusual expense to produce the high
war acreage of the last two or three
years, but there will probably he
plenty of bread and meat for the
world to eat, and at prices that will
be plenty low.

FIFTY YEARS OF
STEADY GROWTH
IDAHO'S RECORD

Idaho, which is given popula.
tion of All, 1866 by the revised CEN
sus figures announced from Wash
ington Wednesday, has a 50-year
record of continuous growth. 1t
was made territory on March 8,
1863, but there is no way of learn
ing what its population was prior
to 1870, for men were shifting
about from placer camp to placer
camp and the territory's area un-
derwent rapid changes between 1853
and 1870. When first organized,
Idaho was more than Three times as
large as at present, for it included
Montana and nearly all of Wyom-
ing. m May, 1864, a part was set
off to Montana, and in 1868 Wyom-
ing was organized.
The census for 1870 returned a
population of 14,999 and thereaf-
ter Idaho grew steadily to $3.50
in 1880, to 6,54S in 1890, when 1t
came into the union, to 161,772 in
1900, to 325,594 in 1910, and now
to 431,S66 at the last census.
William H. Wallace, for whom
Wallace in the Coeur d'Alene coun-
try was named, was the first terri
torila1 governor. George l.. Shoup
was the last governor under terri
torial regime and the first under
state government.

CITY PARK Being
BEAUTIFIED WITH
TREES and WALKS
Old Trees Trimmed and
Many New Ones Set Out.
Walks are Cement Cur
bed and Laid in Graceful
Curves.

The city park will soon be "a
thing of beauty and Joy forever
The park commissioners are giving
their untiring efforts and time In
carrying out the plans and specifica-
tions to make the park beautiful.
1t is composed of four and one-half
acres of land, an eight foot graveled
walk with cement curb runs In
horse shoe shape from the southwest
corner to the grand stand and out to
the opposite corner. Along the
graveled walk are maple and elm
trees for shade. The grand stand
which is thirty feet across, is about
the center of the park between four
stately poplars, whose age has been
estimated at between twenty and
thirty years. The plot OF ground
around the stand will be sanded.
There is a we'll near the stand.
About $50 feet forth OF the
grandstand is to be a rest room, hid
den by shrubbery and vines. Bids
will be received in few days for
the construction Of the grandstand
and the rest room.
150 feet of the north end of the
park Is the tourist park. There are
six sturdy apple trees already there
for the special benefit OF the tourists
who accept our hospitality.
On the west side Of the park is to
3et out tall shrubbery, consisting OF
snowballs, syringa's and tamarax.
The tamarax is large genus Of
jhrnb Of tropical countries, 1t has
minute scale like leaves and feathery
racemes OF small white or pink
flowers. Near the main entrance
will be the state flower, syringa
and hydrangeas and will be ar
ranged in clumps. The park COM
mission say that they will have all
native shrubs and trees, the state
flower, the syringa will be the
feature Of the towering. There will
be mulberry and choke cherry trees
FOR the Riddles.
A drive way twenty feet wide ex-
tends from an entrance on First
Avenue, north of the park. and ex-
tends in a graceful curve across to
the opposite side OF the park, is
graveled and enclosed by cement
curb.
In the general plans that will be
formulated this year to beautify
the park everyone will have an op-
portunity to help, everyone will be
able to do his or her part vohintari-
ly with no financial burden or scarf
fee. II there, Is a scarifice at all
II will be one Of time, but as that
will be put to very gbosi service II
will hardly be termed scarifice,
and that is for everyone to keep
their livestock securely behind
good strong fence. At the present
time there is a three strand barbed
wire fence that entirely surrounds
the city park and which will remain
until people take little more pride
in their town and keep their horses
and cows from roaming around.
One nights grazing on the grass and
shrubbery would cost the city d
good sum of money and undo all
the work that has taken months to
do.

Death Of John HALEY.

John HALEY, pioneer. historian
familiarly known to the entire state
as Uncle John" passed away at hii
home in Boise Sunday morning, al
the advanced age of SO years.
No other man so closely indenti
fed with the entire development ol
the territory and state as wai
Uncle John. He was one of the
few men living in these later years
who came through this section be-
fore Boise was founded. 1t was Q
conversation between him and Maj
Lugenbeil that caused the latter to
locate the Boise barracks on itt
present site.
In 1872 he represented the terri
tory In the forty-third congress
After this he was again offered the
position by both parties, but de-
clined the honor to attend to his
private AFFAIRS,
A man OF great wealth in the
seventies, he later mot with heavy
financial reyerses, having to pay
$4,000 for bondsmen for other
parties, loosing 10000 head Of sheep
worth s4 per head by death, and
investing in Boise real estate, which
declined in value, all In a short
time.
In 1884 he was elected to congress
again.
Mr.. HALEY located the land on
which the town Of HALEY now stands
and 1t was named after him. In
1899 he served as warden of the
penitentiary, where he introduced O
number of excellent reforms.
Mr.. HALEY was man of clear in.
tellect and close student OF govern
mental affairs. He maintained his
splendid faculties up to the last. In
his history Of Idaho, through which
his name will go down to posterity,
he says Of himself: II knew but
little when | started out to do for
myself; have been trying to learn
something ever since, but find / know
but little now, but remember most
all ! have seen and learned. This
seems to be fast age. I can hard
ly keep up with the procession
most OF the time in the rear"
This was Mr. Hailey's modest esti-
mate of himself but his friends
differed with him. II is due to his
wonderful memory that the state
now has his History Of Idaho" on
which all state histories have since
been founded. The book contains
data and incidents which would
have been lost to the world had moi
Mr.. Hailey's memory been so faith.
ful and his energy so untiring. Mr.
HALEY was years writing his book
and 1t was finally completed and
compiled with the aid OF his daugh.
ter, Mrs. Leona Cartee, in 1910.
In 1907 the Idaho State Historical
Jociety was founded by an act OF leg.
islature and Mr.. HALEY has beer
the curator ever since. He was able
to engage in active work in the of.
fee until short time ago.

Winnecke's Comet to Come Very
Near Earth in June.

Winnecke's comet, which approa-
ches the earth every five years and
eight months and will come very
near" the earth in June, according
to the prediction Of Doctor Cromelin,
the English astronomer, has been
sighted by Prof. e. e. Barnard Of
the Yerkes observatory at Williams
Bay, Wis. Word to this effect has
just been received at the Harvard
college observatory.
How near 1t will approach this
time astronomers will probably soon
be able to compute.
Reds comet, which was discov-
cred at Cape Town, South America,
March 13 and is increasing In
brightness, will make its nearest
1pproach to the sun May 10, ac-
cording to word received at Harvard
from Doctor Leuschner of the Un-
versity of California.
The orbit of Reid's comet has
seen computed by Messrs. Einarsson
and Meyer of the students observa-
tory at the University of California,
says Doctor Leuschner. On April
16 1t will be four and half times
brighter than when it was discov-
cred and ON April 2S about seven
and a half times brighter.
If Reid's comet keeps on increas-
ing in brightness the Harvard
astronomers predict that it will
soon be visible to the naked eye.

THE PHILIPPINES.

Nations. from one point of view. are simply
business concerns operating in the interest of
their citizens. The Philippine Archipelago, with
Its thousand and more scattered islands, lies "at
the crossroads Of the greatest trade OF the
future" Now that the United States has given sub.
stantial evidence of its benevolent intention toward
the ;Ffipinos 1t is timely and logical to consider
the islands from the business angle, in the inter-
ests Of both peoples.
IT is startling fact. but true that Of the
tropical domains of the earth European powers
own So per cent; 20 per cent are
Independent and the United States owns less
thap one per cent One item can be
cited to show the significance of this Rubber
enters largely into commercial life the United
States consuming about rs per cent of the worlds
production. but controlling less than per cent of
thss sources of supply. Great Britain controls 80
per- cent Of the plantation output of rubber, and
rs per cent of the total production of the world
