Six Million Farmers to Pool Issues
In a Strike for Better Wages.
A Project that Will Rebound to the
Benefit of all Agriculturists.

CHICAGO, July s.-[Speclal.] 1T is re-
ported that secret circular is to be is
sued to farmers of the Union unfolding
the development of plan to force up
the price Of the present wheat crop. 1t
is proposed to withhold this years wheat
crop from the market until the farmers
can get their own price, or price con-
siderably above the average. It suggests
great combination of six million
members of farmers organizations. I'm
pressed by the future of the Butter
worth option bill, and their measures
to prevent trading in futures on farm
products, the farmers are now through
their official advisers at least, propos-
ing to strike for higher prices. Legis-
lation is declared too slow and ineffect-
ual, and as the conditions of the crop,
and market appear auspic1ous, the pro-
ducers will organize with the hope to
form combination that will result in
profit to all agriculturalists.
ST.. LOUIS, July s.-Referring to
circular purporting to come from Alli-
ance sources as TO the storing of wheat
and other farm products to 'shorten'
the market. President j. B. Dimes, of
the National Business Agents Associ-
alton Alliance, said to-day that the
national officers had given some atten-
tion to the matter. Dimes said that he
did not believe the movement would be
general. AS the matter stands now,
tests are to be made in two states, Kan
sas and Georgia. In sections of the
former grain will be stored, while the
farmers of Georgia will hold back the
cotton. This movement will have the
cordial support of the United Alliance,
and the result will be watched with in
terest by farmers throughout the coun-
try.
Thursday and Friday, the 10th and
18th inst, has been definitely decided
as the date for holding the first sum-
mer meeting of the Morden Turf ASS
ociation, ana there is every indication
that the meeting will be grand success.
Enquiries have been received from all
parts OF Manitoba regarding entries,
and from across the line and the Lang
don district large concourse of people
are expeced to attend. They will be
heartily welcome to Mordon, and with
fine weather there is no doubt they
will carry back with them apleasurable
recollection of their visit.
From present indications there will
be some fine sport, and as close upon
81 900 has been advertised as added
money there are sure to be large fields
and exciting contests The committees
entrusted with the arrangements are
work assiduously to make the meeting
a success, and no pains will be spared
on their part to make this the inaugur-
alton of a series of successful gathrings
in the future. The following is list
of the events:

In Memoriam--Ollie Boyd.

DIED:-In Grangeville, Idaho, Febru-
airy !, 1891, Ollie, youngest daughter of
;. and Nj. Boyd, aged Is years and .
months.
Ollie had been a sufferer for more
than year, and for several months past
she had suffered intensely. For weeks
her parents and friends had watched
almost hourly for the coming of Azrael
10 release her. So intense was her suf-
fering, so great her affliction, being for
the last two months deprived of eye
sight, that it seemed cause for thanks
giving when her suffering was done.
She possessed a sweet, sunny DISPOSE
ton and was a general favorite among
her associates, the ruling spirit in the
home, where her words had magic
power. And now that her body is re-
moved from the home, may that peace
ful influence which she in life welded
over parents and brothers yet remain.
On Saturday, February 7, her remains
were taken to Fairview school house,
where she had been member of the
Sunday school. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. A. Maxey, who
diseoursed from Acts TX, 36-37, after
which her body was followed bv large
concourse of people to the Fairview W
cemetery and there laid away to await
the resurrection morn. when he who
said: Il am the resurrection and the
life" shall again appear and call to life
the sleeping dust. Ye believe in God:
believe also in me, Jesus.
: She may not return, but to her thou shalt go.
When thy days are numbered and finisbed
below;
And II may to thy Angel child be given,
First to meet and to welcome her parents to
heaven,
And there, reunited, to part never more
One song shall ye sing and one Savior adore "

FREE PREss:- are having bcauti-
full weather for this season of The year.
Stock are doing finely on the range
Last Friday snow fell to the depth of
one. half inch, but by Saturday noon it
had melted of the south hill sides. The
north slopes still have their white Gov
ering. Our esteemed fellow citizen, j.
B. Chamberlain, started out bright and
early Thursday morning to find good
fat beef to kill for the neighhorhood,
but his horse ran away with him, $50 he
says) and instead of finding beef, he
found the residence of Mr. Holbrook
and the horse (?) would not leave the
place until it was too late to find a steer.
Sam and The rest Of the folks are living
on pork yet.
Mr.. Delmase has been confined to his
bed for several days. He is improving
but is still quite sick.
The settlers on the table land between
Salmon and Snake rivers are improving

sons by spring will have enough posts
and rails to enclose two claims. They
broke a five acres last fall and intend to
break more in the spring and SOW the
same for hay. Their place is about six
miles west from the mouth of White

The mighty hunters of these parts, B.
Wing and Ii. j. McFadden started out
one day last week with blood in their
eyes after the uneuspecting deer, but
after an absence of three days they re-
turned and reported that venison was
very poor this winter and they conelu-
ded not to slay any. Friend Louis Bo-
cher was engaged to do their packing,

Cottonwood Chronicles.

Weather still continues very fine, and
stockmen smile. Water is sotnew hat
scarce but more plentiful than it was
last fall, when it retailed for hog for
ten barrels.

Inc doctor. DIR. Turner has returned a
graduate from one of the best medical
institutions in the United States. The
DR.. very modestly hangs his diploma
where those needing his professional
services can see it. | some of the other
good doctors of Camas Prairie would do
this very same thing their patients
could swallow their medicines with
much greater confidence. We predict
brilliant future for DR.. Turner.
The Lewiston Teller says: Lewiston
was ordained by nature for the Agricnl-
tural College, So was preacher McKin-
ley ordained by nature, or somebody
else, TO preach. W see the Silent CITY
has sent lawyer Reid and Schleicher to
Boise to lobby the College to Lewiston.
Now il the Silent City does get it, outsi-
uef5 Would De very much amused to
know what they are going to do with it,
and where they are going to find land
enough that will produce anything but
scrub sage brush and inferior wild mus
tard to locate such an institution on.
We presume however that the wise
heads that located the court house site
in the Silent City would come TO the
rescue and fix a similar site. A person
going TO Lewiston to attend court has
the qualification of taking stroll back
into the country to find the court house.
We notice the epistle of the handsome
prohlbitionist of Tammany Run to his
! constituents, informing them he would
stand by his county on the College
question. Wonder if lie was egotistical
enough to think that our common swine
were foolish enough to look for any
thing different from him. The true fact
of all this business is that Idaho and
Latah counties are really the only two
| great agricultural counties in the state,
and to locate the agricultural college
outside of either of these would be a
mockery of justice and an outrage to
the state. ZEM-ZgM.

A Letter From Boise City.

A friend writing from Boise City says:

the last few days. Legislation has pro-
ceeded slowly. There are also senator
ial rumors in the air, but | am not pre-
pared to say that they have any iounda.
ton. The Agricultural College tempest
is just now lulled to rest There is no
hope for Grangeville. 1 believe no lo-
cation will be made by the legislature,
or if one is made it will be in south
Idaho. The idea of combining it with
the University at Moscow does not
meet with favor.
The wagon road bill is also resting on
its oars. There is opposition on account
OF the heavy expense. We may get an
appropriation for survey, location, maps
and estimates, but, think, no more.
The governor will hardly call an extra
session."

This variety has been grown and
thoroughly tested, and the report comes
from every quarter that it is one of the
finest potatoes for general purposes. Its

The tubers grow compact in the hill, and
are large and uniform in size, oblone in
clining to oval, but generally hattened.
Color white, with tinge of pink around
the eyes, similar to the Hebron. The
vine is OF strong, vigorous growth, yet
stocky and short jointed maturing
