Oh, the dear little innocent baby / hold
More priced and more valued, more
precious than gold,
Trying with fingers, fat, chubby and
fair
my chair.
A delusion to you, sweet innocent one,
1t is only a ray from the beautiful sun
Just resting awhile with baby to play;
When clouds gather round, it will van
ish away.
Older hands have reached out for the
color of gold,
And tried to pick up what their hands
could not hold,
And older heads, darling, have planned
long and wise
To reach and hold fast to vanishing
prize.
SO you, little darling, have now a just
right
To pick up the sunbeam that's shining
so bright;
Just pick them up gladly each bright,
sunny day.
And scatter them freely along on life's
way.
For the care that l give you, you al
ways repay
In the sweet little smiles and the love
you display;
| will often look back to this day
bright and fair,
To you and the sunbeam that shown on
my chair.

Frances Hunt for Timber.

Numerous practical experiments
have been made by the French govern
ment in order to determine the re-
sistance and durability of the various
woods obtainable in French colonies.
Contrary to the general belief, the
timber which abounds in the colonies
is not the hardwood employed by cabi-
net makers but common varieties
which are adapted TO ordinary con-
struction purposes. A uniform COM
mercial name has been given to the
many varieties of timber which are
closely related from botanical point
of view and suitable for the same pur-
pose. The timber has been divided
into categories according to its char
acter and the purpose for which it may
be utilized Scientific American.

selves as highly pleased with condi
tions here, declared great opportunities
exist for development in this part
of the country, and predicted rapid
growth of the district.
Railroad construction has been prac-
tically at standstill for several
years bat as conditions become more
settled, and when industrial problems
are adjusted, there is no doubt but
that railroad building in the west will
once more be resumed.
The men who visited central Idaho
Tuesday are indeed quick to grasp
business opportunities, and it cannot
be denied that they will overlook new
countries, which offer possibilities of
paying freight traffic, of reducing
grades on transcontinental hauls, or
otherwise improving their railroad
system, from an economic point of
view. Central Idaho needs better
and such it eventual
ly will have. Whether the time is
now ripe for additional railroad build
ing in central Idaho is another matter,
which, of course, must be decided by
men such as those who visited Idaho
county Tuesday.

Plague of Wolves in Mexico.

Man-eating wolves have killed more
than dozen persons in the San Pedro
and Cuatro Cienegas localities of
Mexico. Never in the history of that
region have these depredatory animals
been so numerous and vicious as now,
1t is stated. They run in packs and
do not hesitate to attack travellers
upon the roads and trails. Only re-
Gently a party of five Mexicans were
making their way along a well-trav-
eled highway near Cuatro Cienegas
when they were attacked by wolves
The men made desperate resistance,
but were finally overcome by the
hungry animals. The skeletons of the
victims, stripped of all flesh were
found the following day. At the Ia
cuba ranch, near San Pedro, a night
Waterman was attacked and killed by
wolves. Many cases Of attacks being
made by the animals and in which
they were killed or driven off are
reported.

OUR VACATION VISITORS

1t. is not the purpose of the Free
Press to overdraw the advantages OF
Idaho county mountains as vacation
ground, but merely to recite that the
mountain districts are increasing in
favor among campers and tourists, as
the season progresses.
Fishing in the mountain streams is
declared 70 be exceptionally good.
Fishing parties are returning to
Grangeville with splendid catches,
and feel amply rewarded for their
trips. Soon the bird season will open
and will add to the sport.
The roads are uniformly good, for
western roads. While in places they
are somewhat rough, and certain grades
are steep, all the main roads can be
travelled by automobile without diff
fculty, and many miles can be COW
cred in a day.
Save for short stretch of rough
road, the North and South highway,
between Grangeville and Whitebird,
affords delightful drive, and the
scenic wonders of the Salmon river
country, as revealed from the top
of the Whitebird grade are at
tracing tourists from afar.

visited Grangeville Tuesday express

a few will be so much enamored of

sanctuarIes for Fur-BearIng Animals,

Sanctuaries for fur-bearing animals
as one means of keeping up the supply
are urged by the department of agri-
culture, whose biological survey tells
the story of the increased worth of
fur, says the Nations Business. One
man bought a lynx coat complete in
1918 for $500. After wearing 1t two
years he sold the lining for $1,000 and
replaced it with nutria at a cost of
$3.50, in 1917 he sold the nutria lining
for $3.50 and put in muskrat lining
at a. cost of s55; in 1918 he sold the
muskrat lining for $500 and still has
the shell of the coat and clear profit
of SS45.
