The candor of an administration
organ which heralds the re-assem-

refreshing.

1t is said that the first sign that
a locomotive engineer is wearing
out is his losing his nerve and fail
ing to make schedule time. For
an engineer to be behind time be-
cause of over-caution is regarded
with suspicion by his superiors. If
this be true, then there must be a
number of "wearing-out' engineers
on the Short Line-for it is seldom
that a train is on time.
The rule or ruin policy is a
poor one, and the fellows
who are pursuing such a one will
some day realize the magnitude of
their colossal error. The welfare
of state and party should not be
subordinated to the. success Of de-
signing men, who are striving more
for private gain than they are for
the eommonweal.-Caldwel Chron-
icle.
1t is said that a new order will
shortly take effect relative to the
of railroad trainmen in
The west, and possibly all over the
country. Under the new order it
will be impossible for any man who
is permantly disabled by the loss of
finger, parts of hands or feet, defect
i've eyesight or hearing, to secure
in the train service of
western roads. The order has been
promulgated and it will be enforced.
1t will not effect men now in service
and in good standing, but hereafter
will be refused men
whether disability occurred in the
service of railroads or elsewhere.
The recent disastrous wrecks are
to be one reason for the
new order. but there seems to be no
to make shorter hours of
labor for the men who drive the
heavy trains across the country.
State Sheep Inspector Lowe esti-
mates that there are 100000
sheep at the present time in this
state, and that possibly while some
other states may lead in the wool
shipments, he estimates that Idaho
is the largest shipper of sheep and
mutton. The wool clip averaged
six and one-half pounds per head
last season, and sold for an aver
age Of lie per pound. The year
before the yield was about the
same but the price was abnormally
high-the average being 15c per
pound. Nineteen and one-half mil.
lions of pounds of wool were pro-
duced off the backs of three mil.
lion sheep in Idaho last year, and
the industry is becoming larger
and more extensive each year.
