county but the later survey, which
was made wholly in the interest of
Washington county, would place
them in that. Some are paying
their property tax in Washington
county, their road district is left
for Idaho county to keep up. The
natural boundary would be the d.
vide between the Salmon and
Weiser rivers and all those living
90 this side are DESTROYS that this
should be the legal boundary as it is
much easier to get into commune

this way especially in the winter

GOVERNMENT SUPPLIES

The fact that the United States
by its present exorbitant tariff
rates upon imported goods is in
wiling retaliation from our best
foreign customers has been gener-
ally admitted by members of both
political parties in the debates on
this subject during the present
session of congress. But apart
from the loss Of our foreign
trade which our tariffs threaten,
is the fact that the present tariff
rates now in force in this country,
should be reduced to a point where
the revenues will provide for the
wants of the country. We have
heard much concerning the vast
surplus which is being accumulated
by our government.
The greater portion of this gov
ernments surplus is loaned to a
number of favored national banks
without interest. This surplus
money is loaned to the people at
the usual rate of interest, ana the
amounts realized help to swell the
dividends of the banks stock
holders. There are today $l60,
900, 600 of government money loan
ed to favored banks. And further
A large surplus always invites ex-
travagance in the appropriations
and expenditures of public money
The appropriations authorized by
the present congress are increasing
at rate which have led conserva
tive republicans in the house and
senate to declare that the country
is already confronted with II de
felt in it's finances on account o
extravagant appropriations. Tl
such an extent has this gone tina
the republican leaders have de
cided to abandon the river an
harbor bill and the public build
ings tariff bill for fear of the de
fcit, and the effect it will have o
the republican party during tn
coming campaign.
Lower tariff duties mean il
creased revenues to the govern
ment. The later speeches OF MI
Kinley were full of this though
He argued strenuously for tariff r
form as a means to increase pro-
perity, especially in the directio
of holding our foreign market
1t is not possible, he said, for
always to sell and never to buy.

NOTHING DOING

When the department of COM
merce and labor was established by
act of congress a year ago and Mr..
Cortelyou hoisted into the cabinet
the expectant world was informed
over and over again that the work
of busting the trusts would pro-
coed without delay. But so far as
the public has been permitted to
learn of the doings of this new de-
partment of our government the
net results have been nil. There
has been nothing doing in the line
of busting the trusts. Furthermore,
there has been nothing done to-
ward segregating the good trusts
from the bad trusts, in order that
the former might be encouraged
and the latter exterminated, as
was proposed by an eminent re-
publican authority.
But here we are well into the
year of our Lord 1904and the trusts
are stalking abroad in the land as
joyously as ever with none to mo
lest or make them afraid. 1t wa'
explained in defense of the pro
posal to establish the department
of commerce and labor that the de
partment of justice was overcrowd
ed that it would not have time to e
trust batting but that if we only haC

dred political soldiers of fortune
why, the days of the trusts would
be numbered and the land woult
be strewn with the eorpses of de
funct octopuses. But, as said be
fore, there is nothing doing.
Now, the question natural
arises, what is the administration
going to about the trust? And tn
answer is, it will do nothing if tn
trusts will promise to ante libel
ally for the republican campaig
purposes. Butte Miner.

The question of improving the
public roads is being more seriously
considered by the citizens of Idaho
county than ever before and we
believe thorough discussion Of
the subject will eventually bring
about good results. That it is the
most serious obstacle and greatest
drawback to the rapid develop
ment of Camas Prairie can be
no question. The only point OF
difference is how to obtain the
best results at the least cost.
Many are in favor Of bonding the
county for considerable sum to
be used on the roads and this seems
about the only way in which suffi-
cient funds could be raised to make
any noticeable improvements. The
voting of bonds require two third
vote and before this could be Sc.
cured the people must be thoroughly
informed on the subject or il
would undoubtedly be defeated
Now is the time to discuss the
question and it should be met fairly
and honestly and kept free from
politics. Idaho county will neve
be what she should be until Their
are better roads and every either
should have sufficient pride to ali
in bringing about that condition

THE HOLY CROSS.

The ceremony Of the dedication of the new Holy
! Cross Hospital chapel, which took place today
Thursday, marks the elimination of the the most
phenomenal architectural Advancement in the his
tory of Salt Lake and its institutions. The Holy
Cross hospital as it stands today is without doubt
of the finest most modern and best equipped in
stitution of its kind in the entire intermountain
region if not i'll the entire west Its halls of hard
finish oak, and its gorgeously furnished suites of
rooms, give the impression of the regal palace
rather than the dreary gloom of the hospital. The
cheer and comfort which reign in its sick rooms
rob sickness of half its sorrow while the brilliant
whiteness and marble gloss of the operating room
and its adjacent lavatores take from the surgeons
knife one-half the dread and horror that surround
it, Its friends and patrons in the hour of need will
find there all the comforts of home while the very
best and most efficient medical and surgical atten-
ton is assured, since it is provided with staff of
competent physicians and surgeons of which no
other institution can boast. Name It's members and
you have named the bulk of the city's best
The little chapel, just dedicated is veritable
gem of grandeur and neatness-a browning orna-
ment to the institution, which is, in turn an orna
ment to the city and state. The neatness the sol
idity, the beauty, the symmetry, the grandeur the
up-to-dateness that is everywhere manifest in the
Holy Cross hospital, and especially in its little
chapel, speak well for the taste the skill and the |
business proficiency of the little woman who now
governs the institution, and on this day, which
marks the realization of her aspirations and energy
We all join in wishing her length of days to enjoy the
fruits of the harvest she reaps today.

The governors of the Philippine provinces at
present are all Catholics. Governor Taft in a proc
lamation to his subordinates, tells what they NAV
DO, and what they cannot and must not do. This
might be extended to the Porto Rican officials. We
give q few extracts from the official document to
show the attitude of the government toward the
Church:
Again let me call your attention to one phase
Of the schsm which is most important, and that is
as to the possession of churches and converts. FIX
ecutive officers have no function whatever to ner-
form in respect to the determination of the mes
ton who owns private property"
As TO the question of ownership or possession IF
Church property, he points out their duties 70 his
representatives. He writes:
whatever You may think of the merits of sucb
question, it is your duty preserve the possession
of the priest or other representative of the Roman
Catholic church by arresting any person who at-
tempts forcbly to dispossess him or actually snc-
ceeds in doing so, and allow the priest or other nor
son having had peaceable possession to resume -.
but beyond this you cannot go. Such rights as tho
people OF town may have, either to ownership =.

In distant Africa ne jealous missionaries are
active, too. But their activity consists in making
friends with the Manmon of iniquity An eastern
paper publishes long letter from Prince Hosanna
Caronto, IN which he accuses the missionary of
being worse than bad Kafir" The following ex-
tract from the Princes communication sounds so
real and genuine that we give it in full:
The missionary is trick person. When he
sees that funds not coming in as rapidly as he
had hoped for, he writes heart-touching letter or
series of them, if necessary, to the poor white
Tools at home, saying that he wants money to build
a church or school, When the money reaches him
what does he do? He simply rents an abandoned
warehouse or shed somewhere; fits it up with few
rude benches and, after remaining eight or ten
months, during which he has lived on the fat of
the land, he pockets the money and returns to the
States"
The Ethiopian prince is no fool He has Yankee
instincts, and can measure mathematically the ex-
tent of missionary zeal. 1t all depends financially
on the question: How muchl

the secretary doing missionary work The father,
Josiah Hartzell, writes to his home paper the Can

zeal, and in conclusion saws:
The supporters and attendants of the Pro

These Porto Rican people have never known apy
religion except the Catholic. That the advance of

be said In every event there is no better ground
than this for the casting of any seed which has in

Under the auspices of the government Porto
hlcans are promised moral and intellectual improve
ments, if they abandon their faith and become

An Easter Ballad.

The time is ripe for Easter lays,
And so, from force of habit,
Dame Nature strives to usher in
The poet-and the rabbit.
We poets come with tagging feet
The weather's not propitious:
Mid most untimely snow and sleet
We find the muse capricious.
Our poesy is frozen quite.
Our budding fancies blighted:
When March the lamb turns liOn-like,
Spring zephyrs fly affrighted.
SO do make haste, Dame Nature pray
And don your Easter bonnet.
Bedecked with flowers bright and gay;
Then we will write upon it.
And since the cOlor's everything,
In picture, prose or sonnet,
Be sure that what the rabbit brings
Has lots of color on IT,
DAISY 1IAGINNIs.

BUSINESS VS.. SPECULATION.

We have frequently called attention. in speak
ing of business conditions, to the difference between
actual business and wildcat speculations. On the
one hand is the man who works. either with his
hands or his brain, and produces something which
the world needs On the other hand is the individual
who seeks to get something for nothing by deceiy-
ing his fellow men. There was a time when Wall
Street dealt in stocks which represented honest and
actual value, and at that time the prices of those
stocks was fair index to business conditions Of
late years, however, this has changed and in these
days the stocks which are dealt in OH Wall Street
are manipulated without reference to their actual
value or business conditions and solely with a view
OF separating a gullible public from its money
Within the last year the public has become wise in
this respect and has refused to be worked anv
longer with the result that the Wall Street stocks
have slumped badly and the enterprising manpula-
tors have come to grief Meanwhile actual business
throughout the country is more prosperous than
ever before. The condition is well summed ND in a
recent issue of Golfers Weekly in the following
words:
The real business men throughout the coun-
try, large and small continue to offer reassuring
contrast to the Wall Street spectators They con-
tlnue to look upon the actual amount of wealth be-
ing produced in the land, and to pay less and less
attention to the gymnastics in New York Finding
easy to get what credit they need from their local
banks, they are not troubled by any tightness at
the financial centre. Even where business is dull it
Is not depressed Local causes such as strikes NAV
check activity but there is an expectation in all
such places that business will look up as soon as
the temporary obstacle is removed. The business
man who is remote from the feverish gamblers
atmosphere of Wall Street is likely to think that
the only cause which could really produce depression
would be the failure of number of crops in any
one year-a real, in other words, and not an arti-
hclal, cause. By such men are affairs throughout
the land III the main conducted, and they are as
stable and trustworthy an element as our popula-
ton has-careful, Industrious in touch with actual
products and real needs and hardly aware of what
Wall Street thinks. Theirs is industry which helms
70 make nation happy. 1t is the labor from which
'ontentment springs, and wisdom Also 1t is not
the toll
OF dropping buckets into empty wells
And growing old in drawing no thing nm
