A sneaker at the recent Fedora

A speaker at the recent Fedora
ton Of Labor convention made the
amazing declaration that when a
man attains the age Of 45 years he
should be dragged out and shot,
because at that age he has out
lived his usefulness. This remark
able u,terance brought out the
facts that the railroad systems OF
the country will no longer employ
new men over 80 years Of age, and
that mechanics who are As years
old are discharged from the rail-
road shops on the ground Of alleged
Incompetence. However much the
fact is to be deplored it is quite
clear TO the disinterested mind OF
an outside observer that the count
ry is drifting mighty rapidly into
socialism, including the govern
ment ownership Of railroads aud
the old-age pension syttem. Such
is the fruit OF 40 years Of republi
can class legislation and central
ization of wealth.

Senator Stewart has introduced
three amendments to the mining
laws of the United States. One is
to amend chapter 6 of title 80 of
the Revised Statutes, SO that the
date of the expiration of mining
locations shall be October Of each
year instead of January I, and pro-
vides that where the annual assess
ment work has not been done the
original locators cannot relocate
the ground without Immediately
commencing and prosecuting dill
gestly to completion the required
assessment work. Another designs
to prevent the monopoly of mineral
land by providing that no person
shall locate mining claim as agent
or attorney fer any other person,
association or corporation. The
third provides for the repayment

BY a late decision of the commits
rioner of the general land office ii
is held that single man who has
entered upon a tract of the public
land must establish and maintain
his residence upon the land. as
required by law, and that he has
no excuse for leaving the land to
go away and work for wages in
order to secure funds with which
to improve it. The land in ques-
ton was situated in Boise district,
where irrigation is required to
raise crops of any kind. To a man
up a tree it looks as though y man
locating arid sage brush land was
thus afforded the permission of the
commissioner to starve to death.
The commissioner holds that occa-
sional visits to his homestead tract
by single man will not satisfy
the law. There must be an actual
establishment and maintenance of
s reside nee on homestead, and
cultivation and improvement OF
the land.

MISREPRESENTATION.

.
1t has been stated both upon the
floor Of the federal house Of repre-
sentatives and in the senate cham.
Der that the censorship still exists
in,the Philippine Islands. We all
remember during the last presi-
Dental campaign in this country
that the question of the censorship
there was asserted by the demo-
cratic party and denied by the
republicans. And yet it is now
stated upon the floor Of congress,
without denial, that not only was
there a censorship in the Islands,
but that it was not a military
censorship, but republican CEN
sorship, organized and maintained
for the sole purpose Of aiding the
republican party in it's criminal
attempt to fasten a colonial policy
upon this country. The cores
pondents OF the newspapers there,
most Of them representing republi-
can newspapers, newspapers entire
ly in sympathy with the schemes
of the administration and the
trusts which control it, united in
the statement that not only were
matters Of fact continually sup
pressed, but that absolute false
hoods were written into their press
dispatches to their home papers by
the censor at Manila, in order to
deliberately deceive and mislead
the American people.
Here is an instance which was
quoted upon the floor Of the senat e
and was not condradicted by any
republican Sc nator: When the
correspondents Of the Associated
Press went to the censor with a
simple message concerning the
silver currency Of the Islands, that
high and mighty official at once
drew his blue pencil and said /:
"No, ] cannot let that go that
would be a boost for Bryan, and
my orders are to let nothing go
that will hurt the administration"
It was not until after long argu-
ment and great difficulty that they
were able to persuade him that
this item had no relation whatever
to the 16 to proposition in the
United States, and not until he
was SO convinced would the censor
allow the message to be sent.
The republican imperialists may
rejoice in sentiment created by
the suppression Of free speech and
the dissemination of faleshoods :
by the editing Of newspapers with
bayonets but such is not the kind
Of sentiments upon which final and
irrevocable verdicts are written
and now that the truth upon these
matters 10 being brought to the
front through the search-lights of
congress, it is no wonder that the
saner judgment of the American
people is beginning to revolt at the
utterly un-American condition OF
affairs which now prevail in the
Islands, founded upon an abrupt
and violent departure from the
fundamental principles Of equality
Of citizenship, justice and human
ity, upon which the government OF
the United States was originally
founded.
The first impulses Of the late
republican president were worthy
of the highest praise, and in pro-
claiming that war of conquest
would be Criminal Aggression, "

The outlook for another record
breaking crop on Camas Prairie
was never better than it is at this
time. All over the Camas Prairie
and reservation sections new land
is being broken, and the work is
very materially FASTENED by the
early spring weather we are now
enjoying. Flows are running at
many places between Grangeville
and Cottonwood, and the fall
wheat is also looking uncommonly
well, showing no injury from the
effects of the late cold snap, as the
ground was at the time covered
with sufficient depth of snow to
prevent much damage. A big
crop, with increased activity in all
the mining districts around us,
should surely hasten the day when
the long-looked-for work of rail-
road construction to Camas Prairie
should commence. As matters
stand at present, no one need be
surprised to hear of railroad con-
struction in this direction being
commenced at any day.

Nobody need be astonished if
the state of Idaho doubles it's pop
ulation in the ensuing two years.
Probably no state in the Union is
developing more rapidly than
Idaho, and every day witnesses
the inauguration Of some new
enterprise of great magnitude call
ing for the expenditure of millions
of dollars in irrigating, electric
power or kindred efforts, or else
the development Of new mining
camps like Thunder Mountain,
Buffalo Hump, Dixie, Elk City or
Florence, or other camps in other
counties. This may seem far
fetched assertion, but the newspaper
man who keeps tab through his ex-
changes on what is going on all
over this great state is in posi-
ton to know what he is talking
about. The irrigated lands OF
southern Idaho, being on the line
Of the Oregon Short Line railroad
are almost daily receiving train
loads of new settlers, while even
up here on Camas Prairie, isolated
as we are for the present, we see
the influx Of new people arriving
here daily from the east in search
Of homes for their families. Idaho
is a great and growing state, and
its natural wealth and resources
are sufficient to sustain a popula-
ton OF two millions OF people,
when it's wonderful possibilities OF
mineral, timber. agricultural and
other resources are we'll developed.

The Spokane Chronicle reports
that the property of the Elk City
Mining aud Milling Co., owned
and operated by Spokane people,
is looking well, according to re-

Coverly, who says they have struck
a two and one-half foot vein Of
high-grade gold ore, and claim to
have enough ore on the dump to
keep 10-stamp mill running for
three years. The company is con-
sldering the question of installing
mill plant on the property during
the coming season.
At the Banner mine in Florence
district the mill is expected to
start up crushing ore on Monday
next. A force OF thirty men are
employed on this property. The
outlook for prosperous season is
very good, and everybody conf.
IDENTIFY expects the old camp to step
right up to the head of the pro-
cession as the result Of the present
operations. The basin has about
thrse feet of snow at present, and
there is a good deal of travel pass

Mountain.

From Beautiful Idaho.

Mr.. Avery G. Moore, the COM
missioner from Idaho to the South
Carolina Interstate and West In
dian Exposition, has many inter-
esting things to tell Of his State.
"Idaho," said Mr.. Moore to q re-
porter Of The News and Courier,
lis favored with many and mex
haustible resources. There are
mining, agriculture. fruit culture,
stock raising and other important
features The mining business is,
without doubt, far in the lead,
though the other industries are
carried on with good profit. The
wages paid to miners in Idaho last
year amounted to over %, 900, 900,
to cav nothing of the immense
dividends received by the mine
owners"
Mr.. Moore related many incl
dents in connection with the new
gold fields known as "Thunder
Mountain" in the northern part
Of Idaho. Hundreds of men are
scaling the rugged precipices, en-
dangering themselves in snowslides
in order to be the first on the
ground at the opening OF spring.
There are millions of dollars in
these mountains," continued Mr..
Moore. land opportunities for
thousands of people to become
wealthy. One main thing in favor
Of our state is that If man finds
he does not understand mining
and prefers another business, then
he can reach out in almost any
direction and an opportunity con-
fronts him. Many people are min
ing, farming and fruit raising all
in one locality. Idaho never had
a crop failure"
Mr.. Moore stated that he
thought Idaho one of the best
places in the Northwest for young
man to cast his lot. "The people
of my state" said Mr.. Moore, 'do
not measure man according to
his pedigree, but he is measured
according to his individuality and
the merits of his own character"
"Our state is one of the healthi-
est in the Union. For lung trou-
bles it is unexcelled. The altitude,
the pure air and spring water is
becoming known the world over.
Not alone is Idaho being sought
for wealth and health, but the
grand, sublime and picturesque
scenery is bringing it into promin-
ence for a summer resort. Here
the hunter and the angler finds his
paradise, the poet his inspiration
and the artist his dream.'
While Idaho has no exhibit here
Mr.. Moore has visited the EXPOSE
ton as special commissioner and
extends to South Carolina the
greetings from "Idaho, the Gem OF
the Mountains" Mr.. Moore ia q

THE farmer should not only save his stalks and straw for feed and fertilizine purposes, but he should carefully save his soil from wasteful methods of culti- yation and removing the crops while returning nothing, says the Texas Farm and Ranch. The soil is the farmers bank, but if he continually draws on his re- sources and deposits nothing, the bank will break, and the farmer will be a bankrupt. There are plenty of broken banks of this sort in every part of the country. But they can be ''put on their feet" again by intelligent man. agement, but it were far better to have managed them so as to render this expensive process unnecessary.
