Arcadia Derives lts Name From Peace
fuI Valley, Abode Of Happiness
and Rural Simplicity.

In ancient Greece, the province of
Arcadia was the central and most
mountainous portion Of the Pelopo-
nesus, or seuthernmost end of the
Grecian peninsula, peopled by peas.
ants Of a peaceful and distinctly low
able disposition. So famous did this
province become for the simplicity and
innocence of it's Inhabitants that it's
name became a symbol Of happiness
and rural simplicity. later to be
adopted by poets-among them Sir
Philip Sidney-as the foundation for
romances, in which this type Of life
played a leading part.
Arcadia, however, Is not to be con-
fused with Acadia, the name which
the early French settlers gave to what
is, now known as Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, and the scene Of the
earlier portion Of L~ongfellow's EVAN
geline," in which the reader Is re-
quested to "List to a tale Of love in
Acadia, the home Of the happy" This
name was derived directly from the
French, and while the "men whose
lives glided on like rivers that watered
the woodlands" were somewhat Sim
liar in their pursuits and their sur
roundings to the Greek Arcadians, the
names themselves have nothing In COM

Jack could. and would. She gave
him her hand. He helped her into his

on the soul of Alicia Brooks. The
city, with Its insane clamor, seemed
very far away. She didn't care If
she never say 1t again.
Jack wooed the lady of his heart in
his w way. Not with flowers, com.
monty supposed to be the language OF
romance, but with far more substan.
tial and useful gifts. Many and various
were the offerings placed before the
shrine Of love. Sometimes a few
special eggs; sometimes a pound OF
delicious butter; often a dish of care
fully selected berries, with cream from
his own dairy. And once In a while he
brought a slab Of bacon.
At the end Of the summer Alicia had
quite regained her health, and was
happier than she had ever hoped to
be.

when she had accepted his shyly ut;

tired of me and want to go back to

Alicia pondered. Would she ever

shuddered, and kissed him, suddenly

There Is an essential difference be-

than an elaboration Of movement, q

eastern dancing still strives to SYM

play a sense of all movement, of all

Miss Alicia Brooks had lived where
the oar Of the elevated was loudest all
Of her 20 years. Ten Of those years
had been devoted to washing dishes in
a busy restaurant, with deep content
ment to herself and satisfaction to her
employer. With three square meals a
day, a comfortable nest-egg in the
bank, and admirers In plenty. Miss
Alicia had found her environment a
pleasant enough place. The clatter1 of
crockery, the clamor Of the crowd,
the traffic on the avenue and the noise
Of the elevated had been music to
her ears. - ~ Pr

lost Its cheerful rhythm, and that the
smell of the hot suds when she washed
the dishes produced an unpleasant SEN
sation at the pit Of her stomach. She

said the doctor, brusquely, after his ex-
animation. "I1l give you the address
Of a farm my niece visited last year.

Jack Dorkin had lived in the solitude
of the woods so long that he could not
bear the noise Of Green Corners. Once,
after bringing a supply Of butter fol
shipment to the city, a storm had risen,
and entirely against his will he had
spent the night under the roof of old
Silas Bell and his wife. Jack never
forgot those few hours. Every once
In a while the whistle Of a distant
freight train could be heard. Some.
times the crying Of a child in the
house of a neighbor a quarter Of a
mile or SO away broke his rest. Also,
the Bells had a telephone. Altogether
it had been very disturbing. He was
certainly relieved when the storm was

WONDERFUL wATERPowER

With topography and climate such
as those described, it is obvious that
this is locality prolific in splendid
waterpower sites. I have not investi-
gated the power features of the main
streams, but have measured some of
the smaller ones. Minimum flows of
rs second feet and falls of 500 feet to
the mile are not uncommon. A stream
of this sort will develop 1000 horse
power to the mile, and there are miles
upon miles of such streams in central
Idaho.
Central Idaho has been generously
mineralized. Gold, silver. copper, mo-
Ivbdenum, tungsten, and radio-uran-
ium deposits have been found. The
predominant metal is gold so far as
explorations have gone. There are
great numbers of large outcrOps, SINH
lar to those at Butte, which may de-
velop into copper or zinc mines below
the zone of teaching, but these pros
pects must of necessity await the de-
velopment of the country. The little
work being done is chiefly gold mining.
During the period of readjustment
following the civil war this country
proved a godsend to the union, for it
produced III gnu ms
those lean years. The gold came from
rich placers. soon exhausted.
LoDEs LESS PROFITABLE
The lode mines have not yet proved
as profitable as the placers. The plac-
err miners, even the Cinnamon who
followed the whites, cleaned up their
claims, and finding nothing which
they could work at a profit, abandoned
the country. So it is again sparsely
inhabitated wilderness.
The gold bearing veins are many,
and the values are such that many OF
the veins could be proitably worked
under more favorable conditions than
those which have existed heretofore.
A few high grade mines have laid
handsomely, but high grade In CEN

where-it is limited in quantity.
