To the Editor Of the Ledger
WERsER, IDAHO, Oct. 24.--Idaho is
an Indian name signifying the Gem of
the Mountains. 1t is bounded on the
east by the Rocky Mountains from
which spurs extend in every direction
across heentlre state. Between some
of these minor ranges are very fertile
valleys, which are irrigated by noun
tain streams which flow into the Snake
and Salmon rivers. The former is
l, 100 miles long and takes its name
from the Snake Indians who in early
times inhabited this country. The
channel is too deep to afford water for
irrigation and above Lewiston has too
many falls for navigation, butabounds
with millions Of salmon, sturgeon and
other kinds of the finny kingdom. /
have known Of two men catching from
1000 to 1900 pounds Of salmon in one
day. A 10-pound salmon is termed a
small one.
The valleys when properly irrigated
produce fine crops of small grain, al
falfa and iguit, such as prunes, apples,
pears and peaches, except in valleys
where the altitude is above 1000 feet.
In such grain and alfalfa are the prln-
cipal crops. There will be thousands
of bushels of fruit decay on the gronnd
as the freight is too high to ship 1t in
a green state and the facilities for
evaporating it are inadequate. have
seen 80 bushels of apples picked from
one tree, and have seen squashes
weighing 81 pounds, AS a small per
cent Of the state is available for agri-
culture land is high here. 1t ranges
from $40 to s75 per acre and costsye
ly from s1.5O TO 50 to water an acre.
Taxes are high. Alfalfa is the prin-
clpal crop and yields from six toseven
tons per acre. 1t is worth 81 ton.
The vast numbers of sheep pas
tured on the foot hills and the
mountains make a ready market for
hay. This county Washington has
100000 sheep. l am told the range
will soon be killed out from excessive
pasturing.
The timber is confined to the north
ern part of the state, which supplies
lumber here at 50 per hundred and
consists OF fir, pine and tamarack. The
water in the mountains is good, but in
the irrigated lands il becomes impreg-
mated with irrigated water and is not
good.
This state has good schools as the
general government gave the land un-
Sparingly for that purpose. They have
splendid school building well furnished
with libraries and up-to-date furniture

To the Editor of the Ledger.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
JACKSONVILLE, Ill, Oct. 20, 1907
While here attending the funeral Of
my brother-in.law, W. T. Humphrey,
who died last Sunday, my attention
was called to a monument that has
been erected by Morgan county in
memory OF Isaac Roe, who settled in
Diamond Grove, known now as jack
sonville, In 1920. He built his cabin,
long since gone to decay, where he Is
buried and his monument stands. His
life sized statue is chiseled out Of a
sofId marble SHAFT. standing with his
rifle in one hand and his axe in the
other, with his powder horn hung
about his neck and a miniature cabin
in the back ground, all Of which is a
real picture Of the pioneer that he
was. As | looked at the monument it
occurred to me that such men as he de-
serve something more than a passing
notice.
l also want to see the monument
that was erected in memory of Jacob
Strawn, who was the cattle king of
his day. On the north side of the
monument is a life-sized bust of the
cattle king; on the west is herd Of
cattle: on the east is an old-faShioned
plow and a shock of corn, and on the
south is dove taking its flight. Near
by is a monument of his daughter,
Martha, life-size, standing with an
open Bible in her hand and only this
simple inscription: "Weep not, weep
not kindred dear for her whose re-
mains rest here.n
1t is said that after Mr.. Strawns
first wife died that he concluded that
he ought to marry again, and as he
had no time to spend in courting, that
he, after looking around awhile to find
some girl that would take care of his
house, when he got on his horse and
went to the home Of the lady and
called her out to the gate and told her
his business and if she would marry
him to get ready quick and get up on
his horse behind him; to this she
agreed and they went without delay
TO Justice of the Peace and were
married and went home.
Yours truly,
: IL KENDALL.

NORTH SIDE SEWER.
City Council in Session Last Night
Decides That ID Must Be Built at
Once Sidewalks to be Built

The City Council met Friday night
in adjourned session from Monday
nights meeting, for the purpose Of
hearing petition that a dram shop
license be granted to VIM. Kemper;
and taking further steps toward the
building Of the north side sewer.
All members were present, with the
exception Of Mr.. Buckner.
An application for dramshop
license for six months dating from
October 81, 1902, was presented by
VIM. Kemrer. BY vote Of to the
license was granted on Mr.. Kennan's
motion.
The special committee consisting Of
Messrs. Abbay, Kennan, Buckner and
Street Commissioner Owen, appointed
TO find out the cost of the north side
sewer and TO advise the Council con-
cerning the building Of it, reported.
Mr.. Abbay read letters, quoting prices
Of sewer pipe from the Blackman Post
Co., of st. Louis, and the Whitehall
Tile Co., of Whitehall, Ill. He said
that since an estimate of the cost Of
tiling for the sewer was made four
months ago the price had risen four
cents a foot making the cost for the
necessary material in the new sewer
Sl2S higher.
Mr.. Kennan then introduced a re-
solution that the City Attorney take
steps toward condemning all property
through which the sewer would pass
in case the owner did not give right Of
way; and that the Street and Alley
Committee commence the building OF
the sewer. The resolution was passed.
On motion of Mr.. Ragsdale a
warrant was drawn for SIS in pay
ment of the eight special police who
were on duty during the street fair.
In the matter Of the city street CON-
missioner having sidewalks built in
certain places where property and
owners had failed to build walks, 1t
was resolved to refer 1t to the City
Attorney, who will report at the next
meeting.
The next meeting of the council will
be the regular meeting a week from
Monday.

MADE A MAGNIFICENT ADDRESS

THURSDAY, OCT. 80.
STATE ISSUES ABLY DISCUSSED.
Honorable S. B. Cook Closed the After.
noon Speaking With Pointed
Speech He Urges Demo-
Gratis to Vote Both
Speakers Well
Received.

A spleneid audience OF Audrain
County Democrats greeted Governor
A. NJ Dockery at the Court House In
this city at 1;3O Thursday, Oct. 30.
Gov. Dockery was introduced by Col.
Hostetter, Chairman Of the Audrain
County Democratic Committe, with
neat and appropriate remarks.
or course it will be impossible to
give anything like q complete report
Of the magnificent address which was
devoted almost wholly to state issues.
lie said that in the discussion of
these issues it would, perhaps be
necessary for him to criticise the
policy and record Of the Republican
party when it was in power in Mis-
souri,, He did not desire to be under
stood as directing this criticism to the
rank and file of the party, for he be-
lieved that the record would not be
commended or defended by Republi-
cans in the ranks; hence bis criticism
would be directed to the leaders.
He referred to the Warner Safe Cure
campaign in 1892 and the effort made
to defeat William Joel Stone for
governor. "This effort" said the
speaker, "dld not avail. William Joel
Stone was elected governor as he will
be elected United States Senator"
He compared the Republican tinan-
cial policy with Democratic manage
ment. He showed how the Republican
party had squandered the securities Of
the State entalling a loss to the people
Of S25, 100000.
He showed how this burdensome
debt had been gradually wiped out by
wise Democratic financiering until
only S4S7 900 remained unpaid and an
nounced that this remnant of Re-
publican folly would be liquidated
next February when the people of
Missouri would be invited to jefferson
City to witness the burning Of these
bonds.
He called attention to the fact that
under Republican rule taxes were so
cents on the $lG0 valuation and that
under Democratic mossback rule they
had been reduced to just half that rate.
He told how under Democratic rule
while paying of this debt bequeathed
by the Republican party, twenty
magnificent state institutions had
been erected and equipped.
He compared the Missouri tax rate
Of % cents with the 40 cent tax rate
in Republican Iowa, the so cent tax
rate in Republican Illinois, and the 30
cent tax rate in Republican Kansas.
He explained the school fund ques-
tlon in a way that left no doubt as to
the adyisability of voting for the
Seventh Constitutional Amendment.
Secretary Of State S. B. Cook follow
ed Governor Dockery with a half hour
speech whichwas pointed and practical.
He showed clearly that Republican
claim of fraudulent election is with
out foundation and called on all Demo-
Gratis to come out and vote on Nov,
4. Mr.. Cooks speech, like that Of
Governor Dockery, was well received.
