Under Idaho's new fish law it be-
comes necessary for fisherman to
take with him pocket rule in order
to measure the fish caught, for no
one is allowed to retain fish less
than four inches in length. You
must also take scales along to weigh
the fish, for you are not allowed TO
catch over twenty pounds of trout in
any ore day. Suppose, for instance,
person in one day would catch three
eight-pound salmon trout. To conn.,
ply strictly with this law it will be
the fisherman's duty to divide one
fish-retain four pounds and throw
the other four pounds back into the
water. -Chalis Messenger.

war to the knife on the trusts that
are robbing the people on every

Every Amerinan citizen who has
enough gray matter in his Uranium to

s'Where will this robbery cease?"
and '1s there no such thing as find

The republican party is fully COM
mitted to the support of the trusts.
No one who has allowed its history

sham battle as engineered by the
republicans in the recent congress
against the trusts deceived nobody.
1t was simply little by-play for
effect. The masses are well nigh
desperate Commodities of all kinds,
especially all trust commodities, are
being marked higher and higher;

Living expenses and rents are increas-
ing all the time, and the salaried
man finds himself short every month.

Bill Jenkins Talks.

SAGE CREEK, Ida, April 8, w.
Mr.. SIGNAL EDIToR:-
Quite number of us were sitting
on the store porch yesterday discuss
ing the political situation, when the
subject was changed to progression
and drifted to wireless telephony.
Bill Jinkins had not said word for
over half hour, but when wireless
telephony was mentioned he became
suddenly animated and took the lead
ing part in the discussion. He says:
Gentlemen, | have been watching
the advance of those things ever
since Morse stretched his little wire
from Baltimore to Washington. /
have watched the ocean cable, the
Bell and the Edison telephone, and
finally Marconis wireless telegraph,
and these things we have all called
progress and welcomed them, but
when it comes to wireless telephony
its turning science into q nuisance.
The world won't be fit to live in, and
the tower of Babel would be quiet
summer home as compared with
the domains of your Uncle Samuel.
Why, you couldn't hear yourself
think, and if you wanted to confde a
secret to friend you would have to
take him to Long Valley and you
wouldn't be safe there Now just
think of sitting down to quiet meal
at 9 a. m. and being suddenly inter-
rupted by row 10 the House Of
Hapsburg, hot debate in the Ger
man Reichstag, quarrel in the
British Parliament, an Irish upris-
ing and rebellion In Morocco all at
the same time, and mingled with the
smell or garlic from the kitchen of
the royal palace OF Italy.
Then when you sit down for a
smoke and your wife has started in
to tell you how many nice thing Mrs.
Brown has that she has not, or your
mother inlaw drops in for an hours
chat, you are suddenly brought to
your feet by the sound of artillery
in South America, and have to stuff
cotton in your ears and go in the
cellar. and shut the door. Then af :
ter you had done hard days work
and wished to rest, the Orientals are
just getting out, you have to lie and
listen to a Boxer uprising in Pekin,
royal procession in Shanghai, a
Chinese funeral in Hong Kong, vic
TINS of the water treatment in the
Philippines. And just as you're be-
ginning to think its all over and YOU
turn over to steal few minutes
sleep in the morning you are aroused
again by racket in Macedonia.
There'll be no rest for the wicked or
anybody else.
A congressman cannot accept q
bride and clandestine courtships will
come to an end. You cant plan
ahead for anything unless you
make it public.
And just think of it, if you hap
pen to make raise of few dollars
Unexpectedly and invite few friends
to have a good time in the evening.
In less than half an hour here comes
the butcher, the baker the tailor, the
groceryman and your wife's milliner

evening, you can't lie out of it be.

THE SLIPPERY SEVENTH.

THE SLIPPERY SEVENTH.
Second paper by J, D. Flenner.
Under the shadow of the old-tim
plea of the republican charlatan an,
champion of class legislation, "pro
lection to infant industries" TIN
s'slippery seventh" added to its cul
of infamy by enacting the Suga
Bounty Bill.
This is denounced not only by
democrats but by many republican
who object to having their property
taken from them and given to aic
a private enterprise, and more espec-
tally when this private enterprise is
is the great big sugar trust of this
country
This sugar trust which is one of
the most avariclous and oppressive
of the monopolistic trusts of the
country, has bought up majority
of tue capital stock of the different
sugar beet manufacturing concerns,
and now, owning 81 per cent OF the
capital stock Of the Utah Sugar COM
pany, controls it.
Now the company formed to operate
in Idaho and to obtain the bounty
which tie "slippery seventh" has
promised, IS controlled, dominated
and owned by this sugar trust and
the Utah Sugar company, and is to
be built, owned, operated and con-
trolled principally by the big sugar
trust.
News comes by wire that Mr.. Cut
Ter, the manager, has made contracts
for Japanese labor sufficient to raise
300 acres of beets in Utah and /, OOC
acres in Idaho.
This explains why the slippery
seventh" turned a deaf ear to the
appeals Of organized white labor fol
an amendment to the bill providing
shat none OF this bounty was to bt
paid to any company employing
other than white labor in their plants
and sugar beet ranches.
1t was pointed out by the minority
members backed up by the represent
Atives of union labor in the leglsla
ture that Japanese and Chimes,
would be employed by these trust,
that their profits might be increased
but the republican majority pushed
the bill through anyhow and defeat
ed the proposed amendment in favor
of the white laborer.
What do American laborers think
OF this outrage?
This bill if allowed to become
operative will bankrupt the state.
1t was repeatedly stated on the
floor in both houses OF the recent
legislature that the men who proposed
to erect sugar factory in Bingham
county had made contracts will
farmers for the growing OF 5000
acres Of beets. One acre of beets OF
the quality that Idaho soil will pro.
duce will return two tons of net
sugar. or 40 sacks OF 100 pound,
each. This would be at the rate OF
$4,000 per acre bounty which the
people of Idaho will be called upor
to pay the sugar trust which has al.
ready become immensely wealthy BY
extortions wrung from the American
people. For 5000 acres the bount,
would be 1850, 600 for 1903 and
$13O, 600 for 1904.
The sugar trust will make from one
to two dollars per sack OF 100 pounds
without the bounty, and this grating
act is to give them an additional dol
lar per sack profit out of the peoples
money.
No doubt the storm of indigna
ton rising all over the state against
this and other acts of the "slippery
seventh will result in sweeping the
republican party out of power and
placing the control in the hands OF
men who will have some regard fol

Rural Deliyery by Electricity.

A Missourian, @. @. Kitterman, OF
Bolckow, has a scheme whereby be ex-
poets to revolutionize rural mail
delivery. He proposes to establish an
electric mail delivery system. 1t is to
be operated like a trolley system.
Every day, by electrical machinery, a
box containing the mail for the farmer
will be set down at his gate, and an
other box containing the mail he
wants to send off will be carried away
Kitterman is said to have made a
pretty thorough trial of his system on
a small scale and to have proved Its
practicability. He thinks a large
dynamo at each county seat would
furnish enough power to operated the
machinery. He thinks his contrivanct
may revolutionize not only methods o.
mail distribution, but those of deliver
ing packages of all sizes in rural dis
tricts. He has applied for patent, ant
is trying to organize company u
