COAL IN RUSSIAN EMPIRE.
Extensive Beds Of the Fuel Brought
to Light by the Discovery
OF Petroleum.

II was not until the discovery :
of petroleum in southern Russia
that the presence of extensive
coal beds in that region was sus-
pected by biologists. Since that
time it has been clearly shown
that European Russia, to say
nothing of Siberia, possesses one
valuable coal field in her south
eastern provinces, through which
the River Donetz runs, a field
which yields fuel of excellent
quality. Thirty years ago the out
put did not exceed 100000 tons;
last year it was 100000, and
this is only half the possible
amount. Strange to say, the
home demand does not rise to
even this small quantity and the
Mining association Of south
Russia is considering whether it
cannot compete with English
coal in the ports of the Mediter-
ranean. There is small hope of
their doing anything of the kind,
but if the cars government
would give its 120,000,0 600 sub
jeCts peace, an economical admin.
istratiOn and a rational fiscal
system $4,000, 900 tons of coal
would be too little-plus the pc
trOleum of Baku-and not too
much even for southern Russia,
South Russia coal is shipped
from the port of Mariupol, on the
Sea of Azov. That sea has late.
~ exhibited a somewhat rare phe-
ROmenOn. It's waters are shallow
and for several days, dating from
December Is, they receded under
the influence of strong winds to
+, such an extent that at TaganrOg
the bed of the sea was visible foI
several miles. A late eminent
Canadian geOlogist, Sir w. Daw.
son, after inquiries on the spot in
Egypt, believed the passage of tht
1 Red sea-more correctly the Bit
ter lakes-by the Israelities was
explained by the action of similar
persistent high winds. Sir VII
liam when in Egypt in 1884 was
! of opinion that the locality of tn,
i, crossing could be identified.

RUNS FURNITURE FACTORY
Enterprising Danish Girl Studied
Cabinet Making and Then
Launched Into the Business.

A Visit 10 n furniture factory
Of Miss C~hatherine HOrsball at
Copenhagen, Denmark, is de-
scribed by Allen Monroe Fosterin
the Housekeeper. Telling how
she came to enter this business,
Miss HOrsball said:
"AbOut the time most girls be-
gin to use a needle and make doll
clothes / became possessed of the
conviction that a saw and plane
were the most desirable things in
the world. My parents at first
stOutly refused my daily petitions
for a tool chest, saying it would
surely be the means of my MAIN
ing myself for life. But, oh, how
IlOnged for that tool chest! What
a parasOl, a doll or a fan is to 9th
er girls a tool chest was to me. At
length one day my parents, upon
finding me in possession of a plane
nearly as large as myself, which |
had borrowed from a neighbOr
when he wasn't at home, decided
that, after all, toy tools might be
the less dangerous of the two, and
rejoiced my soul by presenting me
with a really handsome and prac-
teal tool chest, which / received
with a burst of tears-the happi-
ness was too great. From that
moment my calling was assured"
In the meantime we were going
through the busy factory and as
Miss Horsball stopped by each
workman, c~riticising, praising OF
suggesting, it was plain that the
smallest detail of manufacture
was familiar to her.
Noticing that all the furniture
under way was of a high grade,
inquired:
"Don't you make any plain fur
niture"
"No; very little. We make
mostly all furniture from my owl
designs. This is more interesting
as well as more remunerative."
"Have you ever any dull sea
r sons?"
I "NO, am always pushed to fiji
my orders and Keep a respectful,
amount of goods on hand in m,
show rooms in the city. / am con
stantly adding new hands, but tn
work always seems to keepalittl

The County Central Committees are
hereby requested to perfect all ar
rangement for primaries and Coun-
ty Conventions for the selection of
delegates to said State Convention.
The State Central Committee is
hereby called to meet at Moscow,

The attention of the County Cen
trail Committee is specially called to
the provisions of the new primary
election law:
when any political party desires
to hold primary election in any
county, it is the duty of the duly
authorized committee of such polit-
ical party for such county to pub
lish notice in newspaper of gen.
eral circulation, and of the same DO
litical utilization, if there be one in
the county, once a week for at least
two cosecutive weeks, the first pub
lication of which must be at least
twenty days and not over thirty
days prior to the date appointed for
such primary election, also to post
at least two notices fifteen days pri-
or to the primary election, in public
places in each voting precinct in the
county. Such notices must give
the date when, and the hours dur
ing which, and the place where the
primary election will be held, the
number of delegates each election
precinct is entitled to in convention,
and the Offices for which candidates
are to be nominated in such conven-
ton"
Primary elections must be held in
each voting precinct n the county
on the same Monday aiternoon.

ALL SHOULD HELP.

We note that the Canyon County
Fair Association has concluded to
reduce the admission fee to IS cents,
This is done in Difference to a gen.
eral feeling that so cents is too
much. Well, it may be too much
for the visitor, but it must be re.
membered that large attendance
at so cents barely pays expenses.
It should also be kept in mind that
out of the gate receipts come the
premiums and as the receipts are
small or large the premiums are
correspondingly effected. p
Acounty fair is not commercial
enterprise. There is no money in
it for those who promote and man
age it, 1t is simply a kind of
Fourth of July turned to practical
account. Financially, it is a worse
investment than celebration. No
body expects Fourth of July
committee to make good if 1t comes
out behind, but a County Fair COM
Gnitsee has to pay. ~ e~,%
Tue men prominently connected
with the fair have worked hard and
spent money literally to make it a
success in every respect. There is
no good reason why it should not
succeed. 1t is worth TO the people
of the county a great deal more,
than its cost, therefore, people can
well afford to literally support it.
They ought to do it.
We suspect that community riv-
alries have something to do with
preventing enthusiastic support.
There are few lemons in Payette,
who do what they can against it
because it il held in Caldwell.
There are some lemons in Emmett
and New Plymouth and Roswell
and Nampa, also. There are human
lemons in all communities and they
try to sour everybody. But sensi-
bic people should pay no attention
to them. except to squeeze them
occasionally. Canyon county is
big enough, intelligent enough and
enterprising enough to have great
big successful fair. 1t will be dol
lars in the pockets of her people to
have it. II is blindness not to do
SO. Every farmer and orchardist
and stockman should take it home
to himself. and make it his personal
business to help along.

Republican State Convention.

Pursuant to the authority, and
by the direction of the Republican
State Central Committee, a Repub-
lican State Nominating Convention
will convene at the city of Moscow,
state of Idaho, on Wednesday, the
10th day of August, A. D. 1904, at
eleven o'clock a. m. of said day, for
the purpose of nominating one JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, one mem
Der of Congress, and state officers to
be voted for at the general election,
to be held on Tuesday, November
9Th, A. D. 1904, and for the pur-
pose of electing a new State Central
Committee.
The various counties of the state
are entitled to delegate representa-
ton in said State Convention as fol-
lows:

70 do anything that could give reas
onabie ground for the suspicion
that party expediency is placed
above public good. 1t would be
vastly better to let it be known that
the Republicans Of Idaho would
rather suffer in their party affairs
than take any step which would
even seem to place the public well
fare in a secondary position. THE
TRIBUNE is probably the most big
oted partisan in the State. 1t is
black Republican through and
through but is so because we be-
heve that the fundamental purpose
OF the Republican party is to pro-
mote the welfare of the American
people, and we believe that is it wiser
in the accomplishment of that end
than any other political orgapiza-
ton in the country. Good Repub-
licans should never lose sight of the
fact that their organization is a
means to an end and not the end.
It is therefore better that the means
should be temporarily handicapped
than that the end should be frus-
trated.
Having direct reference to the
matter in hand, the prime consider
alton with Republicans is to place
clean and capable men in public
Office. In order to encourage such
to seek public office, the two term
custom has been established, and so
thoroughly established is it, that
failure to get second term is gen
orally regarded as a mark of dis
honesty or incompetency. By vir-
tue of this custom, a clean and
capable officer is entitled to a second
term, and if it be denied him, the
indictment will be that the Republic
cans of Idaho have no use for such
men.
That is our view of the situation,
but it will not in the least effect our
Republicanism if a majority of the
party shall otherwise view it. It
will not in the least cool our enthu-
siasm if Governor Morrison fails of
denomination. And what is more
and of vastly greater moment, it
will not dampen any good Republi-
cans ardor if he is nominated.
Men whose political emotions ebb
and flow with the personnel of the
ticket, are not much account except
as 81 blocks of five" investment.

TINE STRAIGHT OF IT.

Some Idaho papers persist in re-
ferring to the editor of this paper
as the CLOSEST personal and politi'
cal friend of Governor Morrison.
They do it in order to discount
anything we may present in favor
of the Governors denomination.
To put this matter right, we want
to say emphatically that we are not
any closer to Governor Morrison
than 10, 900 others in Idaho. We
have no personal interest in his po-
ntical fortunes, and no interest
whatever save as, it seems to us,
at this time, that his denomination
is in line with wise public and party
policy. This is our candid judg-
ment, after careful consideration of
every phase of the situation which
has yet been presented. II is
charged that the Governor is not a
harmouizing, enthusing force. That
is true, but it does not hurt any
one but himself. The worst effect
it can have will be only to shorten
his own political career. Certainly
such a consideration cannot out
weigh the two facts that his ad-
ministration has been honest and
able, and that it is the rule of the
Republican party to show its appre-
citation of such conduct by a re-
nomination. To turn Morrison
down, at this time, is equivalent to
q declaration that no matter how
clean and capable a public officer
may be, he will not be endured TN
less, in mis- personal manners, he
commends himself to the party
leaders. And conversely, by infer
ence at least, no matter how repre-
hensible a mans conduct of public
Office may be, he will be supported
by the party leaders if, in his per-
sonal manners, he pleases them.
We do not think it would be wise

THE Idaho anti Mormon Home

The Idaho anti-Mormon Home
Purity Association, like rolling
SNOWFALL, enlarges its diameter by
all sorts of accretions. When Sen
ator Dubois started to roll, he
touched the edge of the Statesman
and it wound around him, forming
the first layer. Then it gathered
up Cy Donnelly, next came Elem
ner, then layer of Pence and fin
ally D. L. Evans accreted. A
cross section Of that roly-polv
would make ar elegant object les
son in sexual purity.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-06-25

IT is very gracious in Democrat
papers to be saying that ex-Gover-
nor Steunenberg refused election to
the National Democrat convention
because he could not stomach the
anti-Mormon platform. The fact
remains, however, that the Demo
Gratis of Canyon county refused to
let Mr.. Steunenberg go TO the
Weiser convention as a delegate.
They even did not show sufficient
consideration for his feelings to let
him severely alone, but in order to
humiliate him to the last extremity,
made him mere alternate. Once
upon a time Frank Steunenberg
was deeply enamored of the Dubois
political system. He has probably
got all be wants of it now.
