FAIR BOARD MET.

Last Friday afternoon in the court
room the county fair board held
their first meeting since the organ
ization of that body.
The matter of allowing base ball
played inside the race track this
year was one of the principal topics
discussed, and after going over the
situation pretty thoroughly at was
de-ided to allow base ball to be play
ed there this year as formerly, ex-
cept that there will be certain re-
s4rictions tackled to its use as ball
park. 1t is the intention Of the
board TO seed this portion of the
grounds to grass this year, and it
is doubtful whether 1T wild make a
satisfactory ball park, as the ground
will not be in proper condition most
of the time to play ball on it.
Other matters of general nature
were discussed.

100 MEN ATTEND
BEEBE's BANQUET

To some life insurance men, the
placing of a policy is much like the
sale OF load of sand or hay; the
bigger the load the more one gets
for it, but there is no soul, no senti-
ment, no care what one does with
his plunder once it's paid for. It's
honestly SO much of rarity to find
a man wrapped up in the souQ of his
business, that some cant quite un-
derstand it.
But everyone of THE almost 100
guests who attended Beebe's insur-
ance banquet, Thursday night,
knows that with at least one man
the placing of insurance is a real
labor of love. With am eye on the
pitiful stories that come out of the
probate courts where men die with
out leaving any protection for widow
and children; ahat come from COM
missiOners' courts, where helpless
and hopeless families come for the
aid that the father should have pro-
vided for in the way of insurance;
with the statistics of the aged men
and women who fritter away their
years of financial productivity and
come down to the portals of old age
with no resource, no capital but the
tolerant Whanity of those around
them-one could really work up
genuine, humane enthusiasm for the
investment feature of insurance that
offers sure and easy road for al
most every one to provide a compe-
tence for disaster or old age. Beebe
does!
The address by Mr.. Beebe was
really profound study of the neces-
sity for saving in youth to provide
for the Inevitable slowing down OF
earning powers in later life. The
guests were all policyholders, but the
avowed purpose of the meeting was
to impress yet more deeply on every
one that it was a privilege and a
duty and an Investment to keep up
as 1arge policy as possible-and
never let ut lapse.
H. H. TennysOn, from the COM
pany head office, assistant manager
of Agencies for the whole United
States, was introduced and gave a
most interesting story of the growth
and development of THE insurance
idea in America, especially as 1T re-
lated to his own company. State
General Agent, w. r. Wilkerson, of
Boise, also gave good business pre-
sentation of the benefits of insur-
ance as an anchor in times of finan-
cial stress like the present.
Fred Seeger, who on his recent
visit to New York was guest of the
general office of the insurance COM
pany, gave a remarkably clever
speech. 1t wasn't adj insurance, and
there grave doubt as to whether it
was scientific history; but there's no
doubt OF its interest. Judge Ander-
sen also made a hit with one of his
famous after-dinner speeches; which
was insurance against the Iblues, If
not against sudden death or accident.
A substantial and appetizing
lunch was served, to which almost
100 guests sat down. The meetling
kept on, and on, until after 100
o. clock, but the topic of insurance
was so erthralling that hardly a
guest left until the general break
UP. 1t was a conspicuously success
full evening, OF so different kind
from the ordinary that it ought to
be set apart.

A plan to utilize the power of the
rise and fall of the ocean tides, an
idea which France has hitherto re-
garded as utopian, has now been ac-
cepted for experiment by the French
ministry Of public works. The prof.
ect, estimated to cost 2,0O0, 900 francs,
is now being tried out on barren
stretch of the Breton coast, and it is
claimed all non-producing coast land
may thus be turned Into power sta
lions. By means OF dam and tur-
bines, the productive power to b
drawn annually from the sea will
equal that of 16,5OO tons of coal. This
tide motdr" will develop as much as
1890 horsepower at a single change
Of tide, of which 1000 horsepower can
be regulated for industrial produc-
ton.
First Glide Motor"
After two years of study on the
question of utilizing the power OF the
tides. a ministerial commission. called

the 'blue mine" committee, the sea
being compared to other mines, has
finally presented to Yves lie Trocquer,
of the ministry. detailed plans for the
construction of the first tide motor"
The minister after examination, or
dered immediate investigation to be
! made
The project consists Of the construc-
tion Of dam 80 meters long, the
crest Of which Is level with the coast,
!, or about four meters above the open
sea. This dam will be made of COM
partments of steel framed concrete.
IN the central compartment which will
oe thirty-five meters long and twenty
five meters wide, the turbines will be
fixed in the compartment on the right,
a lock leading to the coast will be con-
structed large enough for fishing boats
and small dredging machines to pass
through
The dam will also retain from 2,OOO,-
900 to 100000 cubic meters of water,
according to the height Of the tide.
Thus double action of the 'tide mo-
tor" is obtained which will develop
power from both rising and falling
tides
When the Tide Is Out
When the rising tide has attained
seventy csntimeters above the level OF
the inside basin the turbins enter into
play; when the tide Is out the water
retained in the basin runs In the re-
verse manner through the turbines into
the lower level of the open sea. The
four turbines will furnish from rs to
1000 horsepower each and two alter
natives attached to the turbines will
develop about 1900 volts from the cur
rent A means Of regulating this en-
ergy, which is obtained twice every
eight or ten hours at the changing Of
the tide, consists in the construction
Of an additional dam thirty meters
high. This dam, holding about twelve
million cubic meters, will cause the
water to fall in steady stream vary
ing from eight to twenty-nine meters
high. In this way continuous power is
developed by the "tide motor" even
when the larger dam is not function

The infant was clothed In rags. The

None of the children had ever seen

and took possession. They have
existed, in their way, on the products

poor this year, said the man, and the
