The University of Idaho believes
that the best and cheapest sage
brush and other brush grubber is
the Angora goat. To prove its 1
contention 150 of these ani-j
inais have been secured, a section
of land has been leased from the
state and the goats will bet urned
on it to clear it of its thick growth
of brush which now covers it. —

William J. Bryan never gave
utterance to more wisdom than
was recently contained in an edi
torial in the Commoner regarding
President Roosevelt. It is as
follows:
The Commoner has had occa-I
sion to commend Mr. Roosevelt in j
several particulars, and now that
he has been inaugurated to serve
during the term for which he was
elected, it expresses the sincere
hope that it may have many op
portunities for giving its approval
of his efforts. Men of all political
parties are striving for the same end 1
—good government. The rank and '
file of parties may differ as to the !
methods to be employed in obtain- j
ing that end. Some of them may
for a time be deceived and kept
in ignorance concerning the real
purpose of their leaders, but soon
er or later men moving with a
common purpose will mass them
selves against a common euemv,
and sooner or later popular gov
ernment, in the best sense of the 1
term, will be restored. Then 1
men who have thriven and grown
fat through special interest will
be required to remove the shackles :
they have placed upon the limbs
of the people.

What may be designated as a
joke on the Democrats of ehe Colo
rado legislaure is being hinted at
by some of the newspapers. It is
understood that, while the contest
; over the governorship was at its
height, a prominent supporter of
Peabody slipped away to New
York and there arranged to have
a bill introduced m the legislature
in the interests of one or more of
the railroad companies operating in
that state. This bill soon made
its appearance, providing for the
repeal of a law which prohibits
the consolidation of parallel com
peting lines. A combination was at
once arranged between the Demo
crats and independent Republicans
for passsage of this bill, this being
the price to be paid for the seating
So soon as the combi
nation was arranged the deal was
exposed, and this is supposed to
j have weakened Adams' cause—the
i rea | object aimed at by the authors
of the bill. But the railway com
! P an >' "PeeiaHy interested in thebiH
msists that »» be passed, and it is
I now more of an issue than before
the governorship was settled.—
Statesman.
When starting to take part in the
South African war one of the most
redoubtable of the English gen
erals promised his friends that he
would at his Christmas dinner in
*- ke ca pitol of the Boers meaning
thereby that he would sweep over
1 the country in short order by his
military genius subduing all op

Japanese themselves. What Gen.
j Kuropatkin is thinking about
the fruits of his victory in t-he
midst of his warlike enemies.
That dinner was never eaten.
The man's egotism overshadowed
his capacity.
When General Kuropatkin was
leaving St. Petersburg for the
front he said : "Peace will be dic
tated in Tokio, remember that. ' '
Peace, however, has not been dic
tated in Tokio nor anywhere else,
nor is it likely to be, except by the ■

The entertainment given by the
district school on March 24, was
an unqualified success. The pro
gram was quite lengthy, which
demonstrated the amount of labor
and patience that must have been
expended in securing the gratify
ing results that were attained.
Among the numbers upon the pro
gram deserving of especial mention
was the George and Martha Wash
I ingtou drill, conducted by Miss
Martha Jacobs; the Columbia
; drill, under supervision of Miss
Della Waldrum : the little drama.
"Red Riding Hood," the "Artist's
Dream." Many of the children
who took part in the above men
tioned drills did remarkably well
considering their youth and inex
perience. The entertainment con
cluded with a comedy entitled, "A
Great Catastrophe."
The village election will be
held on Tuesdav, April 4th. Ac
cording the new law, the board
of trustees put in at this election
will serve the people for two
years. In two veais much will
happen to develope dour country
and in order that this town may
keep pace with other progressive
towns in our county, it behooves
the citizens to select the best
material on the ticket to govern

regards the development of our
town. Nor should we think that
conditions that have seemed
all right to us in the past are going
to continue to be all right always.
We have many advantages in
our favor, a good location, good
soil, and good people, and constant
additions are being made to the
number of tillable acres tributary
to the town. The increase in
the number of acres brought under
cultivation calls for a correspond
ing increase along all the lines that
go to build up a community. The
people are showing their faith in
our town's future in an individual
way by building good substantial
homes , such as have been erected
here in the past few years. Now
all that is required is combined
effoit in making the general im
provements that an increase in pop
ulation demands.
Without such improvements,
progressive people, such as are
will not locate in our
midst They will observe from
afar the "moss" and will fight shy
of a locality that has nothing to
promise in exchange for their
presence and support. An oppor
tunity has now arrived, in the
coming election, which should be
availed by every one, when the
people have a chance to choose
those men, their servants, who
have interest enough in the town
to devote a little of their spare \
time for its advancement. Let us
all turn out on the 4th of April j
and record a full vote.

RICKS ACADEMY NOTES.
Rexburg, Mar. 28.—Miss Bird,
the teacher of needle work, has
been ill for several days, but will
likely return to her class this
week.
Our worthy principal. Prof.
Christiansen was guilty of having
a birthday anniversary occur on
the same day that the missionary
and winter course class closed.
Both students and teachers com
bined to give him a pleasant sur
prise. At 10:45 a. m., the gong
, was sounded and the students
' marched up to the auditorium.
Prol. Christiansen was escorted to
the auditoriuml by some of the
second year students. Prof.
Porter, in behalf of the teachers
and students, presented the princi
pal with a leather upholstered
rocking chair. The Professor was
deeply touched by ths token of
respect. An excellent program
consisting of toasts and singing
followed the presentation of the
chair. At the close of the pro
gram luncheon was served in the
auditorium. •
Forty-two of the eighth grade
students have made application
for graduation. Most of them
will be graduated if they continue
to do good work. However, the
faculty have decided upon a high
standard for the completion of any
course. An average of 80 per
cent., with a minimum of 90 per
cent will be required for gradu
ation.
Academy dances are always pop
ular. The dance given last Fri
day in honor of the missionary and
winter course boys was well at
tended by the students and their
friends.
Bro. Porter has been conducting
choir practice in the absence of
Bro. Kerkhain who has been in
disposed for several days.

TREES SHAPED BY THE WIND.
The efTect of wind upon trees is
powerful. Even the presence or ab
ser.ee of forests may be determined
by the character of the prevailing
wind or the conditions that modify it.
The wind acts as a drying agent giving
a special aspect to many plants. When
it is almost always from the same
quarter the plants show greater de
velopment upon one side. Trees are
smaller on the windward edges of
forests, and trunks and branches are
bent to leeward. The deformations
are most marked near the sea or in
flat regions. The cherry, plum, wal
nut, black poplar, ash and certain
pines are very sensitive to the wind,
but mountain pines and certain firs
offer great powers of resistance, and
these are recommended for reforesting
wind-swept lands.
Be sure that the bedding under the
cows is all shaken up every day and
made even. Never allow them to lie
ou damp boards.
A WORD TO THE INDOLENT.
A man should never invest in pure
bred stock at all unless he proposes
to take care of it. Sound specimens
of the improved varieties do not re
quire any coddling or pampering, but
they must have those common crea
ture comforts that leave animals
enough vitality to produce something
besides mere bodily warmth. There
is no money, to be coined out of the
manufacture of animal heat alone.
The revenues are derived from added
flesh and weight. Those who will not
take proper care of good breeding
stock should leave the handling of it
to those who will do it.
