FISIH HATCHERIES
AT BONNEVILLE
THE O. R. St. N. COMPANY HAS
LEASED LAND AT BONNE
VILLE TO THE STATE FOR
A FISH HATCHERY.
Master Fish Warden II, G. Van
Dusen has succeeded in leasing a
tract of land at Bonneville for a fish
hatchery.
The negotiations Uve been pending
sometime. There was some' opposi
tion to the site because the opera
tors of fishwhecls were not sure but
that a hatchery in their vicinity would
be a detriment to their business.
This was obviated however by the
clause which was inserted into the
lease that the State will in no way in
terfere with the enjoyment of all
fishing rights in the vicinity of the
proposed hatchery. The clause reads:
"The state hereby agrees that the
location of the salmon fish hatchery
and feeding station on the premises
herein described, and the use of said
premises for such purposes shall in
no way interfere with the fishing
rights or priviledge now exercised by
the Navigation Company or its gran
tees or licensees during the life of
this lease, its extensions and re
newals." This clause was satisfactory to the
State (represented by the Master
Fish Warden) and the O. R. & N.
Company and after the state had
made ts survey and submitted it to
the company the lease was signed.
The land is the north half of the
northwest quarter of section 28.
CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY.
NEW YORK, Feb. ll.-What, it is
stated, will be New York's first ex
periment with "Christian Psychology"
will be tried at Christ Episcopal
Church on Upper Broadway during
the third week in Lent, beginning
March 23. Rv. Dr. Edward Worces
ter and his first assistant, Rev.
Samuel MacComb of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church, Boston, have been
given permission by .the rector of
Christ Church to come here for a trial
of their methods in dealing with
functional nervous disorders, which
they attempt by the methods of re
vealed religion following an accurate
diagnosis of the case as can be ob
tained from specialists in neuralgia.
Patients sent by physicians are ac
cepted and the Boston clergymen
perform their services without charge.
Speaking of the plan yesterday the
rector of Christ Church," Rev. George
Alexander Strong, said:
"We are not committing Christ
Church to this idea nor are be re
pudiating it. I have long known Dr.
Worcester and have seen the work he
is doing in Boston. I am open to the
conviction that there is in man, there
is in God, some attribute we have not
yet made use of. Perhaps this is it."
TAFT CLUB ORGANIZED.
SPOKANE. Feb. ll.-The "Spo
kane County Taft Club" was organiz
ed amid much enthusiasm. Plans
weref started for a great Taft meeting
to be held later.
The Palace Restaurant
The ever-increasing popularity of
the Palace Restaurant is evidence of
the good management, and the serv
ive, at this popular dining room. For
a long time the reputation of the
house has been of the best and it
does not wane as time progresses.
The system used, that of furnishing
the finest the market affords, and all
can be obtained, in season, is a plan
that will always win, coupled as it is
with the best of cooking and prompt
service. A common saying nowadays
is "Get the Palace habit"
"SCOURING THE LAND."
I have just been examining an old
book containing the accounts of the
charity estate of West Haddon, em
bracing the years 1773-1850. Under
date Aug. 17, 1776, is the following
entry:
; "Paid Richard Worster seven days'
work, cutting thorns and scouering
and stoping of gaps, 10s. 6d."
The term "scouring the ditch" is
used on Jan.. 8, 1781, and appears
many times after this date, the last
instance being on April 28, 1820.

. A PRESENT DAY UTOPIA.
Moore Island, tho Happiott and Fair
eat Spot on Earth.
Hugo Farton, writing in the Onttag
Magazine, says that the happiest and
most beautiful spot on earth today la
the Island of Moorea, one of the Society
Islands, In the south seas. Aa a con
trast to strenuous American methods
this description sounds alluring: :
"Whenever you are thirsty a word
will send a lithe brown body scram
bling up a tall palm tree truck, and in
two minutes a green cocoanut is ready
for you to quaff the nectar of the Poly
nesian gods. It Is worth tbe trip down
bore to eat the native vlttals, for you
get at every meal things yon never
tasted before! and each seems better
than Its predecessor; to see your din
ner of fresh water shrimps, sharks'
fins and roasted sea urchins. The ba
nanas you eat there are eleven varie
tiesbaked, raw. fried, dried grow a
few rods back in the valley; ditto tbe
breadfruit, tbe pineapples and about
everything else on the board. If s nice
to have your morning coffee grown iu
the back yard. Guavas grow In such
profusion they ore used as pig food,
grated cocoanut is fed to hens, while
sensitive plant is considered excellent
fodder for cattle.
"For perfection of the human "body
the Tabltlan is unexcelled, if, indeed,
he is anywhere equaled. Tneyare a
large race, both men and women being
noticeably taller and more fully de
veloped than Anglo-Saxons. I douut I!
any Society islander ever went through
a whole day in his life without having
a wreath of flowers on bis bead or a
blossom behind his ear. The love of
flowers is Innate with man, woman and
child. They can't pass through a patch
of woods without emerging with a gar
land. Every gay mood calls for flow
ers on their hats, in their hair, behind
their ears, and their life is an almost
unbroken sequence of gay moods.
Scarcely a native on the island of
Moorea can speak a sentence o" Eng
lish, but every one you meet greets you
with a courteous smile and the wel
coming word 'Ia-ora-ua' (Yorana)."
Poetry Defined. x
George P. Morris, the author of
"Woodman, Spare That Tree," was a
general of the New York militia and a
favorite with all who knew him. Mrs.
Sherwood In her reminiscences tells
how another poet associated the gener
al with a definition of poetry.
Once Fits-Greene Halleck, the' author
of "Marco Bozzaris," called upon ber In
New York In hlsfold age, and she asked
htra to define for ber what was poetry
and what was prose.
lie replied: "Wheu General Monte
commands his brigade and says, 'Sol
diers, draw your swords!' he talks
prose. When he says 'Soldiers, draw
vow wilUne swords 1 he talks poetry."
WINTERING SHEEP.
It is not cold weather that hurts
sheep so much as it is getting wet
Sheep to fatten well should be fed
regularly twice a day, morning and
evening. Sheep naturally drink a
little and often, and should have
water convenient to them all the time.
Don't feed well and give good shelter,
then allow your sheep to drink ice
water to cool off.
