Peanuts and hair nets are two i'm

railway would harbor as little thought
of bandits as he would in traversing
similar wheat, tobacco and cotton
fields. and truck gardens of our own
country. The population is denser in
this province than in our most densely
populated state, Rhode Island. The
climate has been compared to that Of
Maine.
Begun about Is years ago the
hand manufacture OF hair nets has !
attained remarkable proportions. The
hair originates in China, is shipped
TO Europe and America to be chemi-
cally treated for decooring', is sent {
back to merchants in treaty ports and
redistributed for net making among !
homes of the interior. Only recently {
has an attempt been made to prepare
the hair in the province.

Every spring-time we hear a little
furry of talk about providing a good
camp ground for the flocks OF tourists
who visit this section every summer,
and The Sun hopes that this spring
the matter will be carried further than
the speculative stage. There is no dis
putting the fact hat many tourists
come to this section, although no par
ticular effort is made to attract them
here, and the stores. hotels. garages
and other business houses reap a di-
rect benefit from their patronage. Al
so there is no getting around the fact
that many who come here do not stay
as long as they might if some accom-
the local business houses who benefit
directly from the tourist traffic should
be interested in providing n camp
ground with some necessary conven-
fences. We venture the suggestion
that II camp ground of almost any de
sired area could be had on the state
property adjoining the hot springs.
merely for the asking. and that but
little expense and labor would be re-
CURED To equip the ground far beyond
anything we have provided for our
summer visitors in the past. 1t is up

the tourists, and who benefit financial
ly through their patronage, 10 cooper
ate and provide Il good camp ground.

persons who are likely to come to the

BULLETIN ON BEAVER FARMING.

An intensely interesting bulletin has
just been issued by the Department of
Agriculture entitled, Beaver Habits,
Beaver Control and Possibilities in
Beaver Farming
The bulletin has been prepared by
Mr.. Vernon Bailey, chief field natural
list, decision of biological investiga-
tons, bureau of biological survey.
This bulletin may be secured at a price
of 10 cents from the government print
ing office, Washington, ID. c.
The bulletin is Of particular interest
to people of this region because of the
methods devised to successfully pre-
vent damage by beaver and still per-
init the animals to use local streams

SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT.

There have been times in the past
when %railroaders on the main line en-
ioyed Il lot of fun at the expense of
Messrs. Geo. c. Austin, j. T. Me
Shane and others who operated the To-
cal railroad. because these men were
unable to get their trains through and
break the snow b~lockades ON the stub
line, ANA occasionally had to call up
OF the L. p. officials for assistance.
Now, with the local road under Tn
ion Pacific control and operation, with
the roadbed vastly improved over for
mer times aud with main line iocomo-
iives and rolling stock in service and
with all the snow plows and equipment
available. five days have been required
10 open the line over the 24-mile sec
tion between W%alcott and Saratoga.
Mr.. Austin. during his many years
ms superintendent of the branch, was
often criticised for Interruptions in the
service, by persons who did not take
into consideration the difficulties and
handicaps with which lie had TO con-
tend. However. he was always ready
and willing to make II hercuiean effort
20 give this valley the best possible
mail mud passenger service. and it is
our guess that, given the present equip
ment and resources. with Mr.. Austin in
charge there would have been trains
whistling through Saratoga every day
this week.

A Law.

The action of the recent Legislature
in amending the school law to pro
vide for the holding of the annual
meeting Of school districts on the
Monday following the third Satur-
day in June of each year. instead
of the first Monday in May, is entirely
along the line of common sense and
will be appreciated by many people,
and especially by school district Off
GERS.
Under the old plan the meeting had
Ia ho hold several weoks before the
close of the school tenn, and district
clerks and treasurers were never able
10 make a comprehensive report of the
financial condition of their respective
districts, there being always the neces-
sity for including expenses and details
hanging over from the previous year,
included with the business of the in
complete current year.
The change in the law will give
plenty of time after the close of school
for the district officials to liquidate
all Indebtedness and bring their
records of receipts and disbursements
Of the district up to a point where a
fun and complete report of the fiscal
year can be made. Under the new law
the annual school meeting this year
