FAMOUS OLD FERRY WILL PASS
WHEN HIGHWAY IL COMPLETED

the Boise basin In 1862, there was
a great rush from Eagle valley and
other placer sections of Oregon to
the Idaho field. To care for this
traffic q man who owned the ferry
then had to build new boat and
went up into Burnt river canyon and
secured big cottonwood timbers
which he brought with great difficul-
ty to the Snake river.
During one of the Indian upris-
ings of the early day, so | have been
told, the ferry was attacked about
the time an emigrant train was
crossing. The Indians did not se-
cure the ferry, but they stayed near
by and the emigrants were held
there for nearly three months.
while there were other ferries
across the river, including that at
Glenns Ferry, and one near Home
dale, the one at Glenns Ferry and
Olds Ferry were the most used.
This was on account of the narrow
road around Rock Point near the
Slides opposite Weiser.
"The condition of that road In
the early day may be appreciated by
the experience of a stockman named
DOGGY. who lost six horses and hts
entire buckaroo outfit while trying
to pass the point during stage of
high water
"The ferry has not always hocr

Pocket Knife
Styles

Few men, apparently. realize
that there are fashions in pocket
knives, yet there have been sew
eral distinct changes in the
popular styles of knives in the
last twenty years. Around 1900
the popular American knife was
rather elaborate affair, styled to
meet the freakish competition OF
foreign manufacturers, who SEEM
ed to feel that an artistic APP
pearancc was preferred to a keen
blade. In those days, also, the
value of pocket knives was meas
ured by the number of blades
and useful instruments, such as
nail files, corkscrews, etc, which
they carried.
with the adoption of smaller
pockets in mems clothes, however,
bulky knives have become relics
Of the past. American cutlery
makers, like the watch manufac-
turers, have styled their products
along more handy and compact
lines. The most popular model
now is the two-bladed jackknife.
There is always "A demand for two
bladcd knives with pearl handles.
Pocket knives made in this
country are closely fitted into
handles rarely much thicker than
sixteenth of an inch, according
to the American Cutlery Bureau
of Information. To accomplish
this, and at the same time pro-
duce a knife that will be Of serv-
ice to its owner, requires con-
siderable skill. only the best steel
can be used, and the grinding has
to be done most carefully. The
thinner the steel of the blade, OF
course, the better the knife will
cut, and the grinding down of
the blades to the proper thickness
Is in itself an art.
Although the demand for thin
knives is, doubtless, the greater
at the present time, there II still
use for the heavy puckcs knife.
The former are ideal for all ordl-
nary uses, but hunters, fishermen,
Boy Scouts, and other lovers Of
the great outdoors" still carry
bulky knives made for their spe-
eial requirements.

Diet for the
Locks

The widest discovery yet made
by the beauty experts is that YOU
can influence the color Of your hair
by what you eat No sooner was
this announcement made than fair
damsels all over the land began to
revise their bills OF fare to meet
the requirements of what is COM
monty called their browning glory.
II seems that their browning
glory can be made to grow lighter
II certain articles are eaten in gen
erous proportions. As the appetite
Is bent, so is the couture inclined.
The orange. according to the
wise guys of the beauty parlors. Is
the best bet For the dame who
wants that rich. golden sheen. A
blonde can get blonder by orange
aid. Each time she bites into an
orange her hair seems to say. In
the familiar slang, Il eat that
stuff"
One lady started in by eating six
oranges a day. and then doubled
the dose, and kept II up for three
months. by the end of that period
her locks were as yellow as they
make 'em lin hairdressing estab-
lsnmcntSD.
Doubtless. IL the dame. after her
prolonged diet of oranges. could
have topped 1t Off with a good swig
of gin, she would have found that
her hair would have turned the
color OF a regular old pre-prohibi-
tion Bronx.
It's Il wonderful idea, just the
same. Presumably, IL one wants
ones hair to be wine shade, one
should eat nothing but grapes. Or
II one desires raven locks. one
might try munching a little soft
coal at mealtime. Perhaps. by cat
ing oranges one week, and greens
the next, one could work up an in
teresting couture combining the
Irish tints.
II, on the other hand, you hap.
pen to be mere man, and one with
nothing much to speak OF in the
way of hair, there seems to be no
reason why you shouldn't go ahead
eating just what you darn please.

BY DR. VIM. a. McKeeVer.

By DR. Vim. A. McKeever,
The fundamentals OF education
are 20 be found In the child him
self. not In any theory OF grown
ups. nor In our institutions
Instead, therefore. OF forcing the
child through a fixed course OF
study. examine him, SEQ what his
needs are. what are his leanings
and what his defects. No two child
rem are alike.
"A child may have the makings
OF a first class actor or orator and
be orRanicaily incapable of mathe-
MATES forever and ever. In that
case. why pound mathematics into
him?
% The supreme question for
the child trainer should be: What
are the child's interestsy'
Culture simply means the de-
velopment OF right wants.
The object OF education is not to
supply information. but to create
tastes
(2) Educa ton should be a pro-
cess OF doing. not learning rules.
Every child is a bundle OF activ-
tiles. He wants to be busy every
waking hour. All there liz to ed

For the only way to learn how
to swim Is to jump In and paddle.

TT Is remarkable thing. when
you come TO think OF II. what
woman can do with a man.
She can make a sober. industri-
Gus citizen out OF a drunkard and
a neer -do-well. She can make a
drunkard and a no-account out OF
a sober and industrious ci:.zsn.
She can make a thief into an

She can make simpleton out
of the wisest man In the world.
She can make a profligate OF a

start a savings account A woman
can do practically anything she
desires with a man.
DON'T FOOL YOURSELF.

of woman.
We marvel when we read of some
apparently level-headed chap skip
ping with the company funds, or
killing another man over a woman.
but II is no more remarkable than.
because of a woman, a wicked fell
low turns good.
TO BE so DESIRABLE.
When a man wants certain
woman he wants her beyond fear of
life. or death, of prison walls, or hui
initiation, or disgrace. He wants her
beyond love of ease and idleness be-
You'd power and beyond all other
human compa ionship.
1t Is remarkable thing, is it
not that a certain woman, who in
general appearance is much like a
million other women, should be so
desirable to a man? A woman who
may seem dowdy to you, a woman
who may seem homely and have
buck teeth and a poor figure
strange how that woman can be
the apple of a mans eye
There are more women in the
world than there are men. There
are enough women to give each
man several, II the division could
be arranged yet out of all these
women but one certain woman is
desirable to one certain man. and
for her he will commit crime and
abandon friends and everything
else.
SINCE BEGINNING OF WORLD.
The answer?
I do not know. 1t has been that
way since the beginning of the
world, and ii will be that way until
