A Live Department.
tGIobe Democracy


The report of Secretary of, Agricuf-
ture Wilson is fresh proof of the value
of the comprehensive labors of this de-
partment of the government, one of the
latest to be organized, yet one of the
most satisfactory in its results. This is
truly a billion dollar country in its
farming aggregates. In the decade end
ing with 1900 the farmers export trade
exceeded $1,000, 100000. a fourfold in
crease over the decade ending with
1860. This years corn crop again ex-
ceeds 2,000,000,000 bushels. Foreign
markets were supplied last year with
$500, 100000 pounds of American cot
ton. Since 1889 the farmers are to be
credited with a net balance of trade of
SO, $40, 900, 900. The oats crop has
climbed to / 200, 900, 900 bushels. and the
tobacco crop to nearly the same total

work under it's direction. Since 1856
496 students have been admitted to thu

PANAMA TREATY

There seems to be a strong belief
little effective opposition in the senate
Tire two men who have given indica
tons of desire to talk against it are
Senators Morgan and Teller. The eff
fort to make the treaty a partisan
matter' has failed, utterly. Senator
German sought to do this in confer
snce, believing that it would be a good
vehicle through which to vent his
spleen against the administration.
Senator Bacon, a member of the foreign
relations committee and one of the best
International lawyers on the minority
side of the senate came out openly and
aotdly in favor of the treaty and fol-
lowing in his wake came goodly num-
aer of other senator's.
Those from the southern states par
Efcularly came forward to say they
could not and would not oppose the

aanded canal and would not concern
themselves as to whether there had
been precipitation in framing the treaty
that secured it. One reason given why
heFea will not be- prolonged debate on
the cansi' f,crty is that all discussion
must be behind closed doors in execu-
tive session. Even Senator Morgan |
could not enthuse in a long speech, |

That Clearwater Franchise
(Grangeville Standard.)

! At its next meeting, the state land
board will doubtless take up the ques-
ton of granting a franchise to the
Clearwater boom company.
The boom company is asking for a
franchise variously estimated to be
worth from half a million to a million
and half dollars. In return it offers
to spend about $4,000 in improving
the river most of the improvements
being it's own booms to corral the busi-
ness of the river.
The river has been logged more or
less for nearly forty years. All that
time is has been as 1t should be-the
natural public highway into the Clear
water country, the peoples heritage
from the Giver of all things
The company promises to make the
improvements within six years 1t
asks the state to give the option on
this great natural highway for six
years, so that 1t can perfect its plans
for corraIIing an the timber of the
upper Clearwater, about 100000 acres.
If the company fails to make the raise
of money to corral the business, it is
not out cent.
The company asks to be empowered
to collect tolls from every foot of lum-
Der That passes down the river, In re-
turn for it's improvements. It is like
selling the right to the streets of
GEangevf1Ie or any other city, when
there is no need of improvements
therein Nay. it is worse than that. far
worse, for one could lay out another
street or go to another town, but there
is only one way into the great Clear
water timber county and that is up the
river IN question. With this monopoly
on transportation, 1t could underself
and ruin any competition, and force the
sale of the timber to itself at its own
price.

From the Free Press:

From the Free Press:
1t is reported that at the next meet
ing of the state land board the ques-
ton of granting the Clearwater fran
chise will be disposed of. In the face
of the overwhelming evidence and pro-
tests offered by the people of that sec
ton it seems hardly possible that a
franchise could be procured which will
charge the people toll on natures
highway and rob them of their earn
ings to enrich a corporation that will
give them nothing in return.

From the Oroffno Optimist:
1t is likely that the state land board
will, at its next meeting, take UP the
matter of the application of the Idaho
River Improvement company for toll
franchise on the North Fork and Little
North Fork of the Clearwater river 1t
is to be hoped that the board will by
decisive action in denying the applica-
ton, settle once and forever this long
drawn out fight It is hardly worth
while to again go into detail regarding
this monumental attempt to graft at
the expense of the hard working people
who fnhabit the section effected. Peo-
pie who have taken time to think, or
rather we should say, those who have
permitted their think tank" to work
fairly on this subject, and people who.
not being familiar with the facts, have
followed the newspapers are satisfied
that this franchise must not be grant
ed. It is an easy matter for one man
in a section to be mistaken in his views,
but it is not likely that in community
so thickly settled as is the Clearwater
valley to be In the wrong on any one
subject.

England is about to put a prohibitory
tariff on American heiresses to protect
the infant industry of matrimony in the
British domain. This will cause no lit

of New York City who go hunting for
British lords for the gold that may be
tied up in the nuptial knot. England

Senator Dietrich has concluded arrange

Washington for the establishment of a
complete systenr-of rural free delivery
routes in Adams county. Postmaster Gem
eral Payne has just informed the senator
hat Special Agent Llewellyn has been de-
tailed to sit the county during the sum-
mer for the purpose of investigating the
territory over which the proposed lines are
to extend. Until after the survey Of Mr..
Llewellyn is made 1t will not be definitely
known how many routes will be necessary
to complete the Adams county system, but
as IT is proposed that every community not
now conveniently supplied with a postofice
shall be included In the system, 1t is pat
emit that they will be very numerous and
as extensive and complete as any yet estab-
lished by the department. This movement
will prove a great boon to hundreds of
farmers living in the vicinity Of this city.
The routes will emanate from Hastings,
inasmuch as the law requires that the
central station shall be located at the
point in the county best provided with
railroad facilities.
