A Jndicions INQUIRY

A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade, says he has
often heard druggists ask a custo-
mer, who wished to buy a cough
medicine, whether 1t was for child
or an adult and If for a child, they
almost invariably recommended
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The
reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from it and that
it always cures. There is not the
least danger in giving it and for
colds, Group and whooping cough it
is unsurpassed Everywhere.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLII.-IDAHO
~ THE year
! =: :: :: :: !! !! !: : !:
MN A SEM ] 1889 saw
WzV EN crease from
W&s = z&N thirty-eight to
%~w forty-two, for
four states
were added to the Union in that
year. In 1890 two more states
were admitted, the first of which
was Idaho, SO that during these
two years the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn
ing out new flags with the prop
er number Of stars.
Idaho is very mountainous and
the name is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
"gem Of mountains"
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in 18(4-5.
Idaho was a part of Oregon
territory, which was Jointly oc-
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty of 1846 definite
ly turned over to the United
States the country south of the
49th parallel. In 1863 Idaho
was organized as a territory,
with an area three times the size
OF the present state, as it in
cluded Montana and part of
Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory
by itself, and in 1868 Wyoming
was organized so that in 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the fOrty-third state of the Un-
ion, it's area was reduced to 49,
8S8 square miles. Even so it
ranks as the eleventh state In
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built up the adjacent states. 1t
was in 1882 that gold was found
at Occur d'Alene in the northern
part of the state, and miners i'm
mediately f1ocked to the state
in great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-
bic in the Occur d'Alene gee
ton in 1892 and again in 1899,
when martial law was estab-
lished until peace between the
miners and mine owners was
effected.
Idaho is fifth from tLe end in
the list Of STAT: according to
population, and accordingly has
but four presidential electors.
But the state is developing rap
idly.
