From . D. Calkins. Weiser, Idaho, November 30, 1902. Editor Glacier: Having had time to find out nioreof this section since writing yon will correct eome miftukes and w rite of new information. The town of Payette is 18 miles np the Snake river, ami "is a town of 1,000 or 1,200. This valley is divided from the Weiser by a low range of hills. It is a valley 35 miles long by five or six miles wide and is nn der a fine irrigating system, as the Pa yette river is a fine mountain stream, heading in or near the Thunder moun tain. They raise melons and ship in train loads to Portland and northern points. Many kinds of tree fruit, and a fine quality of corn are raised here. I have been looking up the fruit industry here and find they raise a good quality of prunes, peaches, but not of apples tr pears.as those I found on the market would mostly go for culls. I laughed at them and have ordered a box of apples from home to show how the Hoodite raises and puts up fruit. I think a much better quality of fruit could be raised here. I attended the G. A. R. post yesterday, the 20th, and was verv Jtinaiy greeted, and officiated as chap lain to muster in a comrade of the tith Minn. The ceremonv was somewhat hurried as N. F. Kimball, adjutant, an nounced the ladies of the Corinth relief corps were in waiting- at his residence lor relreshments, and have to acknowl edge hat it would have hustled the Ore- 5on VV. R. O. to keep pace with them, told a story on the mossbacks and after dinner all joined in singing war songi. I am offered a good position here, and many are anxious to have me locate here and help improve the fruit industry. I find soil well adapted to strawberries, readies, cherries, and shall try hard if can get water without too much ex pense. This is a fine country fur the poultry industry, but one draw back, the prowling coyote. I have a good offer, everything furnished ine and all the help I want if I will only superintend at day's wages. We have every pros pect for a favorable year. Water sup ply is getting earlier and more snow than usual. Cousin left ns after our thanksgiving dinner. Is on his annual tour soliciting funds. He has gathered a very high class of assistants to help him, whose names I forgot to give in my former let ter, they are: Thos. P. Maryatt, secre tary and treasurer, principal of boys 'de partment; Jane M. Blocum., a teacher of note, and principal of girls' department; Mrs. Post and Mrs. llemon, assistants. The dairy department is under a Mr. Rogers, a model dairyman and foreman Dr. Petis, is a man of fine ability, and was severely injured in a big railroad wreck near Chicago, some time ago, while bringing some fine Jerseys to the institute. Everything is on an equal footting and is a model home for all. Grace is asked at meals. I have to slick up, as they seat me with Idaho's fair daughters I am progressing finely with the harness work and many of the students are anxious to learn something of the business. Yours with best wishes. E. IXCalkins. An Evening of Fun. So far as fun was eoneerned, the fa kir's fair was no. fake. The full house enjoyed the evening Immensely.

Railroad Notice to Ministers. 1 he issuance of the customary form of O. R. & N. individual half fare permits will tie discontinued with the close of the vear 1002, and for 1903 joint clergy certificates issued by the Transconti nental Passenger association will be honored on the lines of the O. R. & N. Co. These permits will be good in the combined territories of the Western, Southwestern and Trans-Continental associations, embracing practically the territory west of Chicago and St. Louis. A charge of $1.00 is made by the Trans Continental association to cover expense of issuing these permits. Application blanks wii soon be placed in the hands of local agents, and ministers should procure them early as, after being ex ecuted and certified to by the local agent, they have to be sent to James Charlton, 'Chicago, with the fl.00 fee before the permit is available. A. N. Hoar, Agent. Don't Know About It. Archbishop Kvan recently visited a a small parish in the mining district of Sehuvlkill county for the purpose of ad ministering the sacrament of confirma tion, savs the Philadelphia Times. In examining a class he asked a nervous, frightened little girl what matrimony was, and she answered that it was "a state of terrible torment, which those who enter it are compelled to undergo for a time U prepare them for a Injtter world." "No, no," remonstrated the priest; "that isn't matrimony. That's the definition for purgatory." "Leave her alone," said tiie archbish op, with a twinkle in his eye; "maybe she's right. What do you or I know about it?" Remedy for Tapeworm. Peopla who are afflicted with tapeworm usually have various dyspeptic symp toms, Volickv pains, a disordered appe tite, either deficient or crav.r-s. dwrl.r ation about tho eves, paleness, furred tongue, offensive breath, ami frequently emaciation. There may also be a feel ing of fullness in the forehead, a buuinp in the cars, a dull, heavy headache, d; tmess and often an uncomfortable feel ing in the stomach, which is temporar ily relieved by the ingestion of a full meal. . . . A very simple and potent remedy lor tapeworm can be prepared from common pumpkin eeeth. One ounce of seed, free from shells, should be taken and bruised to a paste in a mortar and made into an emulsion withtwouiinees of w ater. This qnantitv should be taken in one dose earlv in" the morning, iastin. and w to be followed in about two hours by a good dose of istor oil say from one to jour Ublespoouful. -Hobo Hand How to Grow Mushrooms. Oregonlan. The large quantity of mushrooms sold in the markets of Portland this season and the fact that several pertons made quite large sums of money by gathering them for sale has given some persons an idea that it w ould be profitable to go into the business of raising mushrooms for market. Inquiries have been received from several as to where mushroom seeds can be obtained, mid one person 1ms been much astonished by leing told that mushrooms have no seeds, and lie wants to know how they are propagated. Although it is technically conect, it is hardly fair to say that mushrooms have no seeds. The small grains which flow erhss plants, like the mushroom, pro duce, and which answer for seeds, to produce the species, are called "spores." The spores of the Mushroom are pro duced along the edges of the gills, but are so small that they cannot be seen without the aid of the microscope. They are of a purple brown color, and if the top of a mushroom is laid on a piece of paper when the spores are mature, they will fall and give the paper a brown col oring, but the paper should bo covered with a bell glass to protect the spores,- wnien are so light that the slightest breath of air blows them away. Mush rooms are generally grown from spawn, which generally conn s in cakes or bricks and contains the germ. It requires much skill and experience to make a success of cultivating mushrooms, and the business would be very risky here. It would probablv be better to stick to gathering the wild mushrooms and to introduce new species, of which there are many of excellent quality now in use. Deacon Struck the Wrong Road, Ihe editor of a rural newspaper was in Philadelphia during the week follow ing the shooting of President McKinley and noted with surprise t lie promptness of the newspapers hero to bulletin-board the hourly reports of tho president's condition. He determined to adopt the idea on all important events when he should return homo. Soon afterward he was told one morning by the local physician that Deacon Jones was seri ously ill. The deacon wasa person of some distinction in tho community; so the editor posted a series of bulletins as follows: 10:00 a.m. Deacon Jones no tetter. 11 :00 a.m Deacon Jones has relapse. 12:30 p. m. Deacon Jones weaker. Pulse failing. 1:00 p.m. Deacon Jones has slight rally. 2:15 p. m. Deacon Jones' family has been summoned. 3:10 p.m. Deacon Jones lias died and gone to heaven. Later in the afternoon a traveling salesman happened bv, stopped to read the bulletins, and going to the bulletin board, made another report concerning the deceased ; it was: 4 :10 p.m. Great excitement in heaven ! Deacon Jones has not yet arrived. Philadelphia Times. Illustrated Edition "Dridge of the (iods" By Frederic H.

The Chicago health department pre diets an increase of diphtheria and kin tired diseases owing to the unusual climatic conditions of thepast summer. In the following statement a sinrtres- tion is made which may be adopted wiin advantage. Diphtheria threatens to be more prev alent and fatal this fall than at any time since its treatment by anti-toxin was begun in Chicago some seven years ago. j wenty aeatns were reported irom turn cause last weeK, as against twelve for the corresponding week last year. This two-thirds increase in the number of deaths is made more sltmifi cant by the increasing frequency with which the diphtheria bacillus is found in the Iabratory examinations au ln uici.st- amounting to more man 00 per cent during the last two weeks. It is not only the diphtheria organism but the germs of nearly all the infec-. tious and contagious diseases that show an increase. Pneumonia, influenza and scarlet fever germs especially are louno wun increasing irequency. The department is not authorized to treat any disease except smallpox (In all cases) and diphtheria among the destitute. But it is the duty to pre vent disease. It knows that the Inlial at ion of formaldehyde gas will preveut a large proportion of eases of diseases which now threaten the public health For a few cents any druggist will fur nish a half-ounce ireful ointment box, packed with absorbent cotton, and the cotton wet with fmiii ilin. The formalin box should be carried on the person during t!i d iv and put under tiie pillow at night, at i no on set of coughing, sneezing, ruin ing of the eyes or nose or other premonitory symptoms of having caught cold, re move the cover from the box and In hale the vapor through .the nostrils and mouth alternately fortwoor three minutes. Be careful not to inhale too vigorously at first. Frequently a sin gle use will cut short symptoms, but it may Lie repeated without barm asotten as necessary during the day and night. A. Ad Keller of The Dalles has taken the agency for "Treasury of Knowledge," a publication of 1050 pages, edited by Trumbull White, which is one of the most meritorious recent works that have come under the observation of the writer. It treats of five different sub jects, viz: "The Industrial Age," "The World's Science and Inventions,""Mar velous Peculiarities and Noteworthy Facts of All Nations," "Amazing Won ders of Nature," "Things We All Should Know." These subjects are treated by well known authors and .writers in a clear and concise manner, and compiled by Mr. White in a way to be compre hended by all. The book is highly il lustrated, making it very attractive. It is sold at $2.75, $3.50 and $4.50, accord' ing to binding. This work should be in every library. One of the most interesting members who attended the apple growers con gress at St. Louis was Thomas T. Mes sick, tho 9-vear-old son of II. L. Messick of Quincy, 111. Young Messick bears the distinction of being the youngest or chardist in the country, and is claimed to be an expert when it comes to prun ing trees. He has studied horticulture ever since he learned the alphabet, an1 today is frequently consulted by many old-time growers who have made a life time study of the art. The young man has a record of having pruned six 40- year-old trees in three days. TO ALL WHO TRADE 0 $25.00 Or more in Cash, between November 1, and December 25, with O. B.
