that clover alone will not furnish suffi-

yields in long rotations like n five year

OF the kind, as any one could have
learned at glance. The amount OF the
appropriation for visiting state insti-
tutions during each of the Mcconnell
terms was $500. This is another DEM
ocratic discrepancy
To go back to the point, the record
made by Governor Hunt is that he
drew $500 from this fund for the ex-
penses of his trip to Buffalo. The
money was not available for any ex-
pense excepting that necessarily in

would have enjoined the state board
their methods long since The gen.
tlemen who We're delegates to the Po-
catello convention knew nothing of
this condition, or at least the major
-ity Of them did not, else the country
would not have been asked to inquire
into the action of this board.
A majority of the present state land
board has been renominated for re-
election and are before the people
asking that they be given an opportu-
nifty to sacrifice what is left of the
pine forests in the state of Idaho. The
loss to the state during the last six
years in lumber alone. will amount to
millions of dollars. To approximate
the loss which the state has and will
sustain by the present management
we have only to ascertain the amount
of timber on an average township and
that by the number of town.
ships that are covered by that kind of
timber.
1t is well known by the settlers in the
pine woods that an average quarter
section or homestead claim has on it
about 100000 feet Of white pine tim,
Der. which would amount to 10. 900 900
feet on a township. There We're. at
least. six townships, of this timber or
2, 160, 0OO, 900 feet all of which the state
should have secured. leaving the set
tier unmolested on his or her home
stead.
This timber should have brought IS
per thousand stumpage or the state
should have held it as an Investment
which would be more profitable than
having 1t idle in banks. The proceeds
at that price would amount to the snug
sum Of So, 960. 900 and that too for white
pine alone. but the state has been re-
ceiving only 81 per thousand thus en-
failing a loss Of $10.300.OOO. while the
additional loss sustained by giving
away the cedar tamarack ami all the
trees of less than ~ inches in diameter
will swell the loss to at least $4,000
O00. This loss is made not alone by
selling timber too low. but also by
losing not only the timfer but the
land also. through failure to comply
with the law in filing as well as sym.
pathy for those who wished to file
scrip on the land, large tracts of
which have thus been secured by tim
Der syndicates.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

The Democratic party, and especially
the Democrats Of Idaho, seem to have
. monopoly on the art Of juggling with
figures. It IL said and very thought
fluffy too. that figures never lie, but 1t
depends very much upon the manipu-
lator. The other night we were enter
tained with some of the pregnant EVIL
dences Of this kind in the comparison
Of the extravaganza Of the Republican
party under Governor Mcconnell with
the wise and economic administration"
Of Governor Hunt. Our friends take
no account Of the increase in population
from s4.5s5 in 1895 to, 100000 in 1902.
with the subsequent improvement and
increase in the valuation Of property
Of every kind which naturally would
reduce the taxation to the credit Of the
Fusionist's administration.
In their platform adopted at the Po-
catello convention you will find these
words:
I'VE call attention to the fact that
the tax levy for state purposes has
been reduced under Democratic armin-
istration. The levy amounted to 81
cents on the 500 in 1895. the sixth and
last year Of Republican administration
in this state. while In the present II
amounts to only 10 cents on the 500
Believing the people Of the state favor
an honest. efficient and econom.
ical administration Of state gov.
eminent we appeal with confidence t.
the peoples suffrage, and promise tt
continue the lire Of conduct which haa
reduced taxation and expenses In thu
past"
Now that reads beautifully and thu
person who has no knowledge Of thu
facts cannot be readily induced to un.
derstand that this paragraph II simpl,
IL vote catcher and that the presen
Democratic administration requires
more money to pay expenses than dit
Governor Mcconnell.
In 1895 the assessed valuation Of tn
state was. In round figures. 90. 000. 900
At that time the amount to be raiset
for the maintenance Of the state gov
eminent was about $23l, 900. The a.

DEMOCRATIC DISCREPANCY.

It, and 10 the usual course IL pursued
OF pleading that somebody else did
something reprehensible.
The governors organ thus delivers
itself on the subject: 1.-THE records at
the state house show that the latter
(McConnel) got an appropriation Of
5000 for travelling expenses (passed by
q Republican legislature) and then drew
lot Of deficiency warrants against the
fund after all the money was gone.'
When the governor put his organ in
possession Of that startling material he
should have Instructed 1t to verify the
statement before putting It into print

spent $4,000. The question 10 a. to how
he has discharged his duties. and evi.

His only defense Is the allegation

could be invoked II the present governor
had spent a. much. The Democrats
profess to think that Mcconnell was a

appeal to precedent which they claim
to have found in the record Of the Nc

Worlds biggest Tree

What undoubtedly is the largest
known tree in the world has been re-
Gently discovered two and a half miles
from the Sanger Lumber company's
mill in Converse basin, far up in the
Sierras, in Fresno county, California.
The discovery was made lately by 4
party of hunters, and little credence
was given to the report, as every one
thought the description of this colossus
of the forest was exaggerated, but it
has since been visited by people who
have verified the finders statement.
The monster was measured six feet
from the ground, and it took a line 154
feet and inches to encircle 1T, MAX
ing it over 81 feet III diameter. This
tree Is few rods from the company's
boundary line and is on government
reserve, hence will stand to interest
sightseers and will escape the wood
