FARM IMPROVEMENT.

The improvement in agricul-
tural conditions now, contrasting
with the depth of depression in
r894-6, is as little appreciated by
the outside public as the farmers
condition during the hard times.
It is conservative, however, to say
that the produce Of the United
States farms for the past year
was worth to the farmers over
ST. Goo, 600, 900 more than in Ell
Their of the depressed years noted.
This is an average advance of 81
per cent in values compared with
the lew point.
The live stock of the country
is said to be worth $500, 100000
more than during the hard times,
or a gain of SO per cent. Staple
crops are worth $4oe, 900, 600
more than then, while other crops
show an increase of $2oo,ooo, 900
in value, or a gain of IS per cent
compared with the depression of
18o4-6. Live stock has advanc-
ed nearly or quite as much and
now exceeds the high point of
the rise that reached its highest
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-03-24

point in 1880. Even horses are
one~third higher than four years
ago. The total value Of cattl"
on farms is now At per cent more
than five years ago, while the av-
erage value per head Of cattle has
advanced rs per cent above the
low point of 1895. Mich COWS
are worth IS per cent more than
in 1899, and their total value is
So per cent greater than in 1890
Sheep are higher than for 20
years, worth about double on the
farm what they were five years
ago and are fully 20 per cent
higher than during the early
eighties. The total value Of the
sheep IN the country is 40 per
cent greater than in 1896. Hogs
have occasionally been worth
more than now, but are selling at
high range, especially compared
with cheap corn. The number
of hogs is small compared with
the increase of population and
growth Of export trade.
Farm real estate deprecated
sharply during the hard times,
but has more than recovered in
value, and is now estimated to be
worth 81 ,a2o,ooo,ooo more than
in 1850. The total investment in
American agriculture is now
placed at S17,55o,ooo,ooo, a gain
of nearly 10 per cent over the
comparatively high basis Of val
ues of 1859. All these figures
look large, but when the errors
in the last agricultural census are
understood, and when it is re-
rnembered that the sales of poul
try and eggs in the United States
amout to over $3oo,ooo,ooo a
year, the conservative nature Of
these statistics can be better I'M
derstood.
The number of farms in the
United States has increased by
some 100000 during the past ten
years, against gain Of nearly
100000 in the previous decade
and of 100000 from 1870 to
1850, and larger proportion of
these farms (69 per cent? are oc-
cupied by their owners now than
then, while the number of farms
now under mortgage that are &C.
cupied by their owners is no
greater than in 1850. AS near
as we can get it, the amount Of
mortgages on farms occupied by
their owners is now about 5000, -
900, 900 less than at the begin
ming of the decade.
Mortgages now average only
about Fl per cent of the farms
they are on. The rate Of interest
has declined and the great bulk
of mortgages now in force was
incurred to buy the farm or i'm
prove it.-Sheldon's edition To,

Five of their best men have VOW
ed to us that they will support
the Republican ticket in the
county this fall. They severely
denounce the actions of the flu
sionists and have positively de-
clared that if the men placed in
the field at the Republican coun :
ty convention are respectable and
have not stolen anything previ-
ously, they will support those
men. The same feeling exists in
regard to the State. WHen old

after we pulled into the depot we
lost no time in getting under way.
The Butte man told us which way
to go, and as we we're going
down the lane a robin flew up.
1t was the first thing we had seen
and The whole crowd took a shot
at it. 1t was while shooting at
this robin that Jack Schmidt was
accidentally killed. Just then the
Butte man shouted to some Of
the boys to bring the powder, as
there were fish in a pond down
the track a little way. When we
got 10 the mill he could not find
the pond and told them to put the
powder in the mill out Of the heat
until he found the place.
What was done after that l
do not know, but everybody
knows the result. AS to the
killing of James Cheney. know
positively that the men who shot
him were acting in self-defense,
as he was reaching toward his
hip pocket as. though to draw a
gun at the time he was killed. |

who will swear to this, and were
it not for the hellish course of
this man Steunenberg could get
any number of them.
/ know that so far as | was
concerned or any of the men with
whom / talked with that day, that
there was no intention of doing
any one harm when we left home
or at any time during the day. If
any one was a criminal in intent
it was the man from Butte and /
doubt if there was any on his part.
I know the killing Of Schmidt was
an accident, and that of Cheney
justifiable, while the blowing up
of the mill was evidently due to
an accidental explosion of the
powder put in there to keep cool.
| know there was lots of Growing
afterward because so many of the
union men Gran off" when they
heard that the soldiers were COM
ing, but I never heard that there
was any question as to the right
of man to quit work whenever
he pleased and to take any route
out of the country which might
suit his fancy.
And it was for this that Steun.,
enberg declared martial law and
branded the Miners Union as a
criminal organization. 1t was for
this that he threw troops in here
and arrested all the men he could
get hold Of and put them into his
"bull pen," although there was
not a man here who could not
prove, both by men inside and
men on the outside, that he was
in no wise responsible for the de-
struction of the mill or the death
of the men killed on that day
Why, he even put in one of the
county officers, who was sick al
the time the mill was blown up
had been sick for over two hours
- and he not even saw the mill
until he was arrested, more than
a week later, although he lived

Il SILLY FRAUD.

1t is a we'll known fact that the
Steunenberg Democrats will re-
sort 10 almost any kind of a
scheme 10 escape the odium which
they have brought upon them
selves in connection with the
Occur d'Alene fiasco. But who
ever thought that they would try
such a silly trick as the one we
are about TO disclose2 We repro
duce herewith a letter which is
said to have been published in the
Wallace Press, a good Democrat
&c paper, of course. This alleged
letter purports to have been writ
ten by one of the Occur d'Alene
dynamiters. Of course it never
was. 1t is a silly fraud gotten up
by Democrats in order to make
the dynamiters as odious as pos
sible. The idea Of it is to. make
it appear that the Miners Union
men were SO wholly brutal and
reckless that they can laugh and
Joke about murder and arson and
so ignorant that they have no
more respect for law than wild
beasts. That lie the purpose of
this letter, and we only reproduce
it TO show what transparent frauds
the friends of Governor Steunen-
berg are trying. to palm off on
the people Of Idaho. Here is the

was from Butte, but don't know
his name. When I got there he
was there, too, and was handing
out guns and telling the boys to

which lay on the table. I do not

THE PATHFINDER.

The United States Survey steamer
Pathfinder, in command of Captain Gill
bert, reached San Francisco on the 18th
instant from Alaska, going direct from
Dutch Harbor in 9 days and IS hours.
After arriving at Seattle from Hawaii
some months ago the Pathfinder was
engaged in survey work at Norton bay
and Fish river and other far northern
points, and returns to San Francisco
for an extended stay. Some of the sail
ors on the vessel complain that they
were made to endure great privation
on the voyage down the coast as re-
suit of a shortage of food.
RATE OF INSURANCE ADVANCING.
The rate of insurance is advancing on
the overdue vessels posted at the Mer-
chants Exchange in San Francisco.
The ship Wachusett, out 156 days from
Newcastle, N S. w, for Kahului, is
quoted at so per cent, but her owner,
w. F. Mighell, says he has not by any
means given her up. Unless she has
been destroyed by fire, he asserts, she
will in all probability yet arrive. Re
insurance of so per cent is quoted upon
the bark Alexander Mcneil, out 165
days; % per cent is offered on the ship
Lancing, out 127 days from Puget
Sound for Point Prize; and 80 per cent
is quoted upon the Limache, out nine
ty days from Callao for Tocapilla, both
ports on the west coast of South Am
erica.
