If some one doesn't call Major John D. Guthrie
the forest service publicity man of the Oregon
country, there won't be enough water left in their
rivers up there to wash the general public in The
general "gush" of people is now toward the coast
and they just can't stop until the ocean waves
wave them back. They have fIivs flivvers and
flivverettes-no money, but a vast all-consuming
desire to live under man-yanna tree, which has
been educated by publicity agents to 'decidious'
fruit down into the mouth of the tourist every
time he wakes up and yawns. All in the world
man back east needs to do now is to earn enough
money to put first mortgage on a flivver-the
west furnishes all the rest.

THE VERY IDEAl

An etiquette book advises that sand
wiches should be eaten with a fork,
which is very thing nonse, and shows
ignorance of the history of the sand
wich. Lord Sandwich, who invented
it, had his valet bring him hunk of
meat between two slices of bread, SO
that he would not have to leave the
gaming table. The sandwich was in
vented to get rid of the necessity Of
forks. 1t is not luxury, but con-
venience.

President Storey of the Santa Fe in a recent
address said survey of the hydro-electric pos
sibilities of the Colorado river has been complet-
ed with view of the possible identification of the
Santa Fe lines. He said while the survey had
been completed there were no definite plans now
concerning the Identification but the question
would come up in the near future This is an
other feature which comes under the vast pos
sibilites in developing the Colorado river. Small
electric lines would materially assist in the de-
velopment of the interior of the country by
means of cheap electrical power.

ENGLISH FOG

Some of those American soldiers
who stopped off in England for time
were so exuberant in spirits that they
refused to have them dampened even
by the well-known and much advertis-
ed foggy weather, says the American
Legion Weekly.
The colonel of regiment, making a
night tour of a certain camp, was
challenged by sentry who had been
standing for hours in a driving rain.
"Who goes there demanded the
guard.
Friend" replied the colonel.

sentry.

RELIC OF ANTIQUITY

In the motion picture, "Robin
Hood" Lady Marian desires to send
a message to the Earl of Huntington
and chooses Little John to ask as her
messenger. She presents John with a
scroll which is protected by what
seems to be a black case or tube.
As she handed it over a small boy
in the audience asked his mother what
it was.
That's flashlight," she answered
in loud voice.
Don't show your ignorance, Mary"
snapped her husband. "They didn't
have flashlights in those days. That's

KEEPING BUSINESS AT HOME

No town can be permanently prosperous IN IN
which the citizens and tradesmen dependent on
each other do not patronize one another. The 1act
is, but little is made in going away to trade
if it can be secured at home, and oftener there Is
a loss. Show us town in which the people make
it a rule not to send away for anything they can
qet at home and we will show you town IN when
business is lively and everybody buys, and trade
is centered from abroad. Prices are low ana the
tradesmen patronize each other, having no sus-
picion that confidence will be abused, Let IL De
understood that when business men OF any town
get in the habit of sending abroad for purchases
the business will languish. Having no confidence
in each other, how can they expect others to nave
confidence in them? No, that's not the way to
build up town. Patronize each other and Keep
YOUR business at home. This paper knows OF
many men in Douglas who are sending orders Tor
printing supplies away from this city which can
and should be given to the newspaper offices IN
this city. The two newspaper offices here give
employment to printers at top-notch wages; the
weekly payrolls of the two offices exceed one
thousand dollars per week They bring consider
able money here to pay for foreign advertising
and do their duty at all times in helping IN every
way possible to sustain and support the progress
of the city-Douglas International.

Because the north-bound train from Phoenix
runs into Prescott from the northwest, Editor
Bill Stuart is much concerned and suggests the
passengers Prescott bound be blindfolded and
backed into the town. They used to have to do
this with Prescott habitants when they went to
Chicago and used their first elevator. Maybe il
they we're blindfolded and backed into Prescott
they would stay longer. You can't tell until you
try it. Bill.

Railroad from Armistead across the
continental divide 10 Salmon; and by
automobile from Meadows to Grange
vile. By special arrangements trips
can now he made safely and easily by
boat throughout the distance between
Salmon and the mouth OF the river.
Through the greater part OF its course
below Salmon the river flows through
narrow. almost inaccessible valley,
bounded by high granite ranges and
containing few roads or trails. In the
upper stretches OF the river the slopes
are well watered and timbered and
big game abounds. in the lower
stretches precipitation is light and the
valley is semi-arid. The flow of the
river is well sustained. and the aver
age fall is great. being over IS feet a
mile for some 50 mile stretches. The
walls of the valley are generally OF
massive granite and afford numerous
good sites for dams.
The geological survey report con-
tains maps and descriptions OF %
sites at which, it is estimated nearly
100000 horsepower could be developed
at times of low water flow and nearly
twice that amount at times of medium
flow. The project suggested for one
Of these sites contemplates the direct
on of the flow OF Salmon river into
he Snake by means of tunnel eight
niles long, which would create head |
If 430 feet. Power is already gener-
tied on some of the tributaries of the
Salmon. The Salmon River Light &
'ower company operates a plant at
salmon to supply energy for public
Utilities and mining, and at Whitebird
small plant is used to furnish cur
ent for lighting the village.
The report describes the present
abroad routes to the northwest and
outsiders proposed routes, especially
he one along Salmon and Snake riv-
RS to Lewiston and its relation to the
Their routes.
Besides the technical discussion the
port contains description OF the
geographic, and scenic. features of the
asin and describes the methods of
avigation that are successfully used }
