IDAHO WRITER
WINS
Earl Wayland Bowman, Idaho
author and journalist has "arrived"
in the circle of American letters.
His articles and stories are commenc
ing to appear in national magazines.
The story of the road-runner in Feb
ruary American magazine, entitled.
"Blunt Nose," will be a winning
opener. It was to that story that an
advertisement of the Central Meat
Market referred recently, and which
brought from Mr. Bowman the
characteristic letter published in this
issue of The Republican.
Mr. Bowman was a newspaper
worker in the middle west for mans
years, then his health collapsed, and
lie was ordered farther west. He
came to Idaho, to the Payette and
Emmett region, and went to home
steading. He helped develpp that
wonderful fruit country and per
formed several coups-d'etat in pub
licity, getting up exhibits and taking
them to big fairs of national im
portance.
We all wish Mr. Bowman the sue
cess he deserves and if our judg
ment is sound he is on the high-road,
The story "Blunt Nose" is splendidly
told. In fact, the American maga
zine is noted for choosing that kind
of literature, and its recognition
means a smoother way to any toiling
writer, the best in the land not I
barred—F. C. K.
In order to quiet the fears that all
true Americans might have that the
league of nations covenant would in
terfere with our existing M'onroe
doctrlne the covenanters quoted a
clause in it as follows:
A Princeton professor having_ in
his possession an original French
version of the proposed league cov
enant brought confusion to the camp
of the Wilson men when he pub-1
lished a literal translation of the
above clause; it runs quite contrary

Farms Located
in Death Valley
Death valley—the most horrible
desert on the face of the earth,
source of weird mysteries and in
numerable tragedies—has yielded to
the hand of man to make a garden
therein.
Furnace Creefi ranch, as the Death
valley farm is known, enjoys many
distinctions. Its sixty-five acres of
cultivated land constitutes the most
isolated farm in the world, produc
ing food in the midst of a desert in
ferno, where temperature and at
mospheric pressure are almost be
yond the limits of plant and animal
endurance.
Obviously the introduction of an
abundant water supply was the
prime requisite to make the ranch
possible. This is obtained from two
large springs far back in the Funeral
mountains, which pour their streams
upon the burned-out Dealth valley
soil thru two great aqueducts, one
of steel and one of masonry.
White men cannot live long in the
withering heat. Consequently all
the work about the ranch is done by
Indians of the Piute and Shoshone
tribes under the direction of an edu
cated foreman. The average life of
a white man in Death valley is very
short. Three white foreman em
ployed on the rancn lasted two sum
mers each, and perished during the
third. Two others went insane, and
attempted to flee out of the valley
on foot. Neither of them lived to
get out of the maze of Funeral
mountain canons. The present fore
man has survived seven summers,
and is soon entering upon his eighth,
He attributes his ability to resist the
heat to his superb constitutioh, tem
perate habits and hygienic living,
He lias attained a degree of comfort
I hy constructing a large fan driven by
water power. During the hottest
days of the summer lie makes his
bed in front of the fan after sprinkl
ing the floor and wetting his
blankets. For all work is then done
I a J n *Sht, when the temperature over
valley floor descends to about
* , degrees. ,
In addition to being a Sort of mira
c e ^ arm ' Furnace Creek Ranch is
also a traveler s relief station, serv
ing the barren blazen wastes of
Death valley and the Funeral mount
ain country much the same as £t.
Beranard hospice does the high Alps
of Switzerland. Its very existence
lias saved the life of many a lost
traveler or prospector who staggered
within its boundaries with parched
throat and speechless swollen
tongue. Assistance under such cir
cumstances is never refused. If the
victim of the desert lias money with
whicli to pay for his rescue, well and
good; if not, he receives it gratis,
on a hill just back of the ranch are
a number of mounds—the graves of
thirst-tortured
souls who tottered
into the ranch too late to be saved
by water. *

LOOK THEM OVER
Cupid's Assistant Gives
More Information on
How to do It
,
This is a funny world, the more in
formation you put out the more they
want and the more they get the more
dissatisfied they are and the more
dissatisfied they are the more in
formation they want and here we
are back at the beginning again. But
the reason for all this is a letter
which came to The Republican of
fice. This particular sister wanted
a little red hot dope on how she
could tell when she fell in love and
how It effected her. She insisted
.hat she couldn't ask a man to look
at her every morning during the rest
of her life unless she loved him and
she didn't know anything about how
this love came. It was a real nice
letter, but because it was a little con
fidential in parts and extremely per
sonal in some other parts, our mod
esty forbids our printing it.
How l/ive Comes
How love comes is a perfectly
simple question to answer. W'e read
an article by a young lady not long
ago who has had several tries at this
true love stuff and she puts it like
this. "Love comes like the dawn.
Timidly he casts the first rays of his
wondrous brilliance across the maid
en's path. And then like the rising
sun that lifts like a fiery ball in the
east, bit by bit, he comes into full
view, beautiful and wonderful to be
hold. He dazzles a maiden by his
glory and holds her enraptured by
his splendor—he lights anew the
path her feet may tread, no longer
weary—a royal road to happiness.
A wondrous thing for any maid it
is—the dawn of love." Oh boy,
pretty swell, this dawn of love. You
tellum.
The Right Man
This choosing the right man to
buy your silk stockings and $18.00
shoes is a serious proposition. None
of us are exactly perfect altho per
haps one or two of us come pretty
close to it, but you can't get away
from the fact that we'll say gosh
dingit now and then, smoke a
cigarette, a pipe or a cigar .shoot a
game of pool, play a little pinochle,
stay out late when we get a chance;
there are a lot of things we'll do
that could be improved, but there
are also a lot of things we don't do.
Fr'instance. None of us drink as
much as we used to and a good many
of us have quit altogether, so there
isn't much chance of your grabbing
a drunkard.
sep
The Habits of Men
Back in 1916, Mr. Trego, in refer
ence to the habits of a man said,
"There is something about a man
you have got to accept along with
the rest, and make the best of it.
If it is booze you had better pass
him up. If it is billiards, or baseball
or horse races, or long sitting with
other men talking of sports, it isn't
necessary that you try to make him
over. Not many men are as com
panionable with their wives as their
wives would like to have them. A
man has a certain amount of the
dickens in him and when he is made
perfect he immediately becomes an
angel, and then you don't have any
chace to propose to him. If you de
cide to marry a man take him as he
is and make the most of his good
traits and humor him in the least
offensive of his bad ones. If he
smokes don't try to stop him for it
will only'make trouble because he
won't stay put. Better have a soft
cushfon in his smoking chair, be*
deck the floor with a foot stool, a
pair of slippers and a cuspidor and
help him to the feeling that this is
the best place on earth to smoke.
We still have a number of eligble
bachelors for your aproval. Look
them over, pick one of them out, and
lay your plans for the battle.
A Bachelor Rancher
We have with us today, ladies,
women and girls. Mr. Dick Stevens
for your approval. Back four years
ago he was a bachelor and he still is.
In the files of ihe Republican we
find that he was a rancher and had
had experience in a number of varied
businesses from a banker to a re
porter, so he is a good prospect. We
find Dick Is cheerful and light
hearted by nature and you girls will
need a man who can smile when you
spring a new spring hat bill on him.
Dick prefers blondes, we can
prove it by a letter he wrote, and he
says he can be serious for a long
time if he thought it would win him
a woman. He has a telephone and
its the same number that was given
four years ago, 264R1. If a fellow
can keep the same telephone num
ber for four years, he's stable and
almost settled down. Think It over,
girls, and call him up.

Mark, always dresses well and a good
looking fellow. The only thing
there is wrong about him Is that not
long ago he started a mustache. He
didn't keep it long because it didn't
live up to his expectations, but
ought to always be held against him.
And besides that he was quite an
actor in formed days, no amatuer
preformance was complete' without
him, but of late he has given it up
and sticking to business. Mark
wanted to be one of the first to fight
in our late war and joined the ma

Cuba and there he stayed. Look
him over closely, women, he'll bear
investigation.
Busy Fremont
The busiest man in- town Is Fre
mont Kutnewsky, advertising man
ager for The Republican. A number
of years ago Fremont was the enter
prising young reporter on the paper,
but not any more, he has a much
higher rank than that. Rather shy
young fellow, but down in his heart
he thinks all women are* beautiful,
and especially blondes, and one of
these days, unless you beat him to it,
he's going to step out aud grab off
one of these beautiful women. Back
in 1916 it was said "he is a brunette,
wears glasses and when he smiles he
shows a good set of teeth with a
little gold in >hem. If you want to
identify him yon can provoke a smile
and look for the gold fillings." He
still smiles and the best way to get
a smile from him is to step up and
declare that you are the woman he
has been looking for all his life.
He'll give you a look at his gold
teeth and then call your bluff. Try
it.

Financing for Wool
Growers Made Easy
The licensing of wool warehouses
under the United States warehouse
act gives to wool growers facilities
for credit which approach those en
joyed .by other business men, accord
ing to a statement issued by the
bureau of markets, United States de
partment of agriculture.
The purpose of the act, says the
bureau, is to make It possible to Is
sue a receipt of such Integrity for
wool stored in a licensed warehouse
that it can be easily negotiated and
widely used by the grower, ware
houseman, manufacturer or other
depositor owning it in financing the
storafe and marketing of wool.
The value of licensed warehouse
receipt is based on the following
points; (1) It is issued by a ware
houseman licensed by and bonded to
the United States, who operates
under government supervision, a
warehouse which has been examined
and found to be a. suitable place for
the storage of wool by a federal in
spector; (2) the conditions under
which the receipt is issued make it
reliable evidence of the ownership,
quality, quantity and other condtions
of the wool for which it is issued.

SIMPLE CONTRIVANCE LO
CATES Al'TO-ENGINE TROUBLE
Various automobile motor troubles
can be located with a new testing de
vice, described with illustration in
the March Popular Mechanics Maga
zne. It consists of a hand-operated
air pump, provided with an outlet
pipe that can be screwed into spark
plug hole, and equipped with a dial
pressure gauge, Loose pistons and
leaky intake or exhaust valves can be
detected by adjusting the engine to
different positions, and forcing air
into the cylinders with the device.
Compression can be investigated by
cranking the motor and observing
the gauge, whicli indicates the pres
sure in the cylinder.
NEW BARROW HAS TWO
WHEELS ACTING AS ONE
Greatly increased weight-carrying
capacity and ease of operation are
advantages claimed for a novel
wheel barrow illustrated in the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Instead of being equipped with a
single wheel, placed in front of the
body in the customary manner the
new device is provided with two ex
tr t a large weels, cambered to such
extent that their rims nearly touch
at a point directly under the bent
axle on which they revolve. Prac
tically all of the load Is borne by the
wheels.
