Rubber Plall it in Idaho.

Relative to the discovery Of rubber
plant in Idaho, the Boise Statesman
gives the following infOrmalion: "A
rubber plant, picked from the plains
of Colorado where it gro Ws in prOfus-
ion, Is suspended in the show window
Of NJ. J. Marks, 82a West Maine street
Boise, and is attratting a great deal
Of attention. The Ilant, which
bears tin: yellow flower, is said to
grow in Idaho and should such be the
case valuable industry is certain 10
he developed in this state. A piece
Of dry root half an inch long, when
chewed as one would chew bit of
gum, produces in less than minute
u lump Of pure rubbcr as large as u
pea. This rubber can lc stretched
two inches with ease and is said to be
fully equal To the finest quality Of
Para rubber. In Colorado capitalists
have taken the subject in hand and
are preparing to Manufacture rubber
on large scale. IT is said the plant
natures every year and can be grown
in any quantity without the slightest
difficulty. The plant on exhibition
has heavy root consisting of several
branches, each u little larger than au
ordinary lead pencil. Above ground
the plant projects about a foot and
grows in the form of small stalks a.
bout the size Of Il knitting needle or
little larger. P rofessor Judson OF
the department of hort liculture OF the
Idaho university has been furnished
with sample Of the plant and will
make an Investigation. At present all
the Para rubber comes from South
America and commands high price.
Thusc who have looked into the sub
ject in Colorado assert that the home
plant will yield $500 an acre in rub
Der, in which even t it can be easily
turned into a sourte of revenue"
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1904-03-18

is gradually veering around in fa-
vor of Senator Smoot. There is
no question but that the testimony
of the church leaders has made a
deep impression on the Senate,
and this sentiment is by no means
favorable. There is, of course, a
wide difference Of views on the
subject Of the testimony. One is
that public morality has been so
shocked by the confessions of
President Smith and his apostles,
that there can be but one outcome,
the exclusion of the Utah Sena-
tor. Another view, however, and
one which will hold many of the
more conservative Senators, is
likely to rule the Senate. This
view is that there should be caution
in Furnishing a Senator for the de-
linquencies of the church to which
he belongs. The numerical strength
on this side of the question will
depend very largely upon subse
quent disclosures in the testimony.
The fear of establishing danger
Gus precedent is likely to have an
effect favorable to Mr.. Smoot.
There is some talk of postpon-
ing a vote until the next session of
Congress. Both parties in the
Senate are disclaiming that the
contest has any partisan significance
and yet evidences already appear
that politics will play a consider
able part in disposing of it.

The law which was passed March
l3, 1899, providing for the protection
Of beavers, has expired. These ami
mails exist in various parts OF the
state and complaints are common
that they are in the habit Of cutting
dams made by farmers, and then
erecting dams or their own which
cause valuable lands to he flooded.
Instance are cited where demands
have been made that the state either
dep0rt the animals or pay damages.
The wonderfully sagacious. indus
trious and otherwise harmless beavers
seem to be marked for destruction.

Senator Hepburn secured the
passage of two important bills this
: week of interest to Idaho. One
of these directed the Secretary of
War to remove the obstacles to
navigation on the Little Salmon
River, and another bill amends
Section 2326 of the Revised Stat
utes relative to mining claims.
The tenor Of this bill is that all
suits brought pursuant to the pro-
visions of the above section in
support of an adverse clainf filed
in any U. S. Land Office against
an. application for patent for a
mining claim, shall be deemed
actions at law, to be tried as other
