purchase of their sacks and farming
machinery, to pay them a dividend of
2 cents per hushel on every bushel of

no reason why It will not bring them

This means that charters must not
override the local option law of the
state; that ordinances permitting gam

This Is one undeniable evidence of
the spread of the temperance senti

It is evident that they believe In the

Charles Edward Russell Illustrates
Japanese astuteness by the following
revelation, made n the July Instal
ment of "Poldiers of the Common
Good." in Everybody's Magazine. He
says:
"Let me tell you a little story about
flour. Japan ralseB some wheat, butllng forces.
It helps the bigness of this great
country to know that It contains 11,-
400,000 buildings. One country sur
passes that In number, Russia, with
11,436,000 buildings, but millions of
these are mere huts, so there can be
no real comparison between the two
countries.
The buildings of the United States
are estimated to be worth 114,250,
000.000, which sum means a head
ache and Is too big to measure or
comprehend.
Russia's buildings are worth $2
500,000,000. The United Kingdom ha:
7,100.000 buildings worth over twelve
billions. France hai 9,000.000 build
Ings, Germany 8,000,000, and Holland
less than 1.000,000.
All of which suggests that It Is well
that every city in the land is putting
forth efforts to Improve Its fire-fight
The following sad story from real
life Is taken from the liolsc States
man and reads more like fiction than
actual occurrence In Idaho. The
statesman says;
True to the lr.st to her self-Impose 1
duty of caring for the little mother
less tots left by her sister two years
ago, Miss Mabel Hurroughs died
about a week ago neur Welter, strug
gling with almost her last breath to
give them the care and attention she
felt they s'lould have. Her remains
were 'aid to rest yesterday afternoon
In Morris Hill cemetery.
Her sister, Mrs. J. M. Boggess. died
in this city about two years ago. Uav
one little daughter, Ardelle. who will
not be 6 years old until next Octo
ber, and a blind babe, J,eone, who
was 4 years old last April. Mr. Rog
gess did not care to separate his little
ones, especially because of the little
blind girl, then only a few months old.
and induced his wife's sister. Mabel
Burroughs, to leave her Wisconsin
home and come to Boise to care for
his children.
For a year or so Mr. Boggess and
his sister-in-law, with the two little
ones, made their home at B04 South
Fifteenth street. Miss Burroughs win
ning many friends during her stay in
Bnlt.e ty her pleasing ways. But a
year ago this month, the family de
termined to go upon a homestead on
the Mnlhenr tract, just across the
Snake river In Oregon, nine miles
from Welser, the nearest town.
Mr. Bogress was making his home
there on the homestead tut was away
much of his time, earning a livelihood
by working on the railroad, running
on the O. R. & X. out of The Dalles.
He was home for a couple of weeks
about the first of June, being driven
back to Welser on June 7 to take it
train for The Dalles to resume work.
Th last time that Miss Burroughs
was seen alive except by the little girls
was as she was driving home from
Welser on that day.
She had not been feeling well for a
few days befnre that, and the next
morning, a week ago Friday, she was
so ill that she could hardlv attend to
the wants of her little nieces. But she
kept about, pumping water for them
to drink, so thov have since told, and
even haklne; a little bread for them to
eat. Tired nature finally gave way.
however, anil she fainted away, ac
cording to the story told by the child
ren. After futile attempts to revive their
aunt, the two little girls started out
to walk to Welser. nine miles away, to
summ"n help, but the little legs
would not carry them so far. and
when little Ardelle, leading her blind
sister Ione, had gone about" a Anile
and a half from home, she was over
taken by the distracted aunt. She
had revived from her faint and"rallz
Ing that nil was not well with her lit
le nieces, had started out even In
her extreme Illness to find them.
Upon her return, so the children
say, she lay down upon the bed and
fell asleep.
Fcr five days and nights the two lit
tle girls, one 4 and the other 5. stay-
d In the house with the remains of
their aunt, eating what thev could
find and drinking water that was In
the house, unable to pump more. At
night they would sleep, the little ones
told their father, sometimes on the
floor, sometimes In the clothes closet.
and sometimes upon the bed with
their aunt.
When the supply of food finally
gave out, little Ardelle took her blind
sister by the hand and led her
through the sagebrush, each carrying
clean dress In her chubbv hands, n
mile away to the home of the nearest
elghhnr, Mr. East. Arriving there,
little Ardelle announced to Mrs. Eest
that she had come there to live, as
her aunt was asleep and they could
not wake her.
Neighbors at once went to the
house, where the remains of Miss Bur
roughs were found on the bed, as the
children had said. It Is supposed
though nothing definite Is known.
that she had died on Friday. June 8.
The little ones hnd stayed with her
from that time until last Thursday
noon.
The coroner of Malheur county
went to the scene and held an Inquest
over the remains, a verdict being
reached that Miss Burroughs had died
from heart failure.
Miss Burroughs was a native of
Marysvllle, Kan., and was 3:1 years of
age at the time of her death.
