residents OF Atlanta, Rocky Bar aud
Pine, heretofore read and examined by
the Board, now, at this time, after due
consideration aud exAmination of the
law bearing upon necessary improve

as follows, to-wit:
That II steel or combination bridge
at Pine would best serve the interest
OF the county Under section 1896,
Idaho Codes, revised statutes 1852, II
requires one third OF the taxpayers
and qualified voters OF the county,
by petition, to expend over $l0GD, and
since such a bridge will cost more than
$1,000, hence it will be necessary for
the people Of the county TO take the
necessary step according to law TO EN-.
power the board to construct bridge,
Tor the reason that no one will build
this bridge unless all the legal require
ments have been complied with.

Who Is Responsible.

These automobiles keep me on the anxious side of the street ana of the crossings remarked q man of provincial turn, yesterday. T am constantly afraid l cannot avoid being run over.
 And by the way, it pleased me much to read where a New York magistrate has just decided that the owner and not the chauffeur of the machine is responsi- ble for damages incurred by speedy run ming. When chauffeur who had been arrested was brought before him charged with speeding his machine in the streets of the city, and 1t was found that his employer had been with him at the time the magistrate declared that it was the owner who ought to have been arrested and not the driver He explained that the law provides that after an automobile owner has been caught twice at scorch- ing he can be imprisoned for third offense. and added that confinement on prison fare would have a salutary effect on such offenders

EnaIish controI of Tibet.

The Dalai Lama has fled into Mon golia, China. He was both pope and king, and his chief adviser was Laina Dorjieff, who was born in Russia, and educated there. The British have s,t up in his stead the Tashi-Lama, ybo has long been second in importnoa only to the Dalai Lama. Unde Ina guidance of his Russian advier the Dalai Lama had cut loose omcbineze control but under the cond.,one ora ated by Colonel Younghgband It is believed the Dalai Lama ,vii, rooi, an exile, and China and Great Britain will dominate the cop trv ,nstooa of Russia.
 The importance q this action can not well oe overrat led, for it puts an end to Russian aggressIon at the west end of China. 2he new treaty signed by the TibetR officials and Colonel
 
 | o"is' ii'i9 Id has not been published, put u no doubt provides effectually aea'nst hMssian domination and az efesSion and this will perhaps be ac- cum 5hed by making the Tashi-Lama supp me at Tibet under Chinese sov- ei isnty. The Dalai Lama and the pssian tutor will doubtless be kept ' the exile they voluntarily sought.
 Tibet Is large province, constitut- ing with Eastern Turkestan and Mon- golia the western end of China, and it's control by China and Great Britain changes the history of China and through it of all Asia. No more i'm portant step ha. been taken by the government of India, over which Lord Curzon presides, than the Younghus- band expedition, and If it's results are maintained, as they undoubtedly will be, it will rank in importance second only to the efforts of Japan in the east end of the great Chinese empire. It is fortunate that Great Britain is will ing and able to maintain the integrity of China at one cnu while Japan is accomplishing like task at the other er. of the chinese empire.

Apathy a Dancer.

The republicans prefer an apathetic campaign, because they want no revo- lution among the voters. They simply want repetition of the vote of 1900, especially in the contested states.
 But the democrats need a revolution at the polls. They need vast awaken ing among the sluggish voters, and the scattering of a deal of information among the independent voters. The work of revolution falls this year on democratic shoulders, and we cannot afford to indulge in a sleepy, apathetic campaign.
 iG Hno.ly different with the repub- licans They simply desire to hold the ground of 1900. In Ohio they have decided to remain silent and passive until October. They would prefer to do likewise in the other states. They want no overturn They desire to drift, expecting that the vote of 1900 will be duplicated
 And so it will be in the contested states unless the democrats wake up ard begin at once aa active and ener- getic campaign. There are still two months in which to work, and much can be accomplished in two months.
 There are indications, The Age-H aid is glad to say, that the war is to be carried into Africa-that an az gressive, old-fashioned democratic campaign is to be inaugurated and car ried on during the two months left of the campaign. Chairman Taggart should show what western energy is. .1e shelld work increasingly for an everturn among the voters. Where the republicans are apathetic in order t. meet past conditions, he should be coriespondingly active in order to create new creditors. What serves the republicans, in other words, will not serve the democrats. We need a revolution, and :. revolution Is never the outcome of a spiritless campaign The Age-Herald hopes Judge Parker himself will go on the stump and that every other effort will be put forth that Chairman Taggart and Chairman Cowherd can devise.

sumption is, however, of far greater importance.
 Dry weather and the absence of frost two weeks longer would no doubt give the country the benefit of a record erop-a crop that would surely reach to 2500 million bushels, and might go even to higher figures. But no such crop can be considered when killing fsost may occur at any time. Frosts often come in the Corn Belt as early as September b, and from that time to October in this year is the criti- cal time of the great crop. Much de- bends upon that crop, and no one can say how large it will be until the time of the coming of frosts is determined. The yield good, sound, merchantable corn will large indeed II the pres ent month be 1rostless.

WIRE FENCES DEADLY.

From the New York Tribune.
 Since the use of wire fences has become So extensive the number of cattle killed each year by lightning has greatly in creased. Farmers insurance companies have investigated the matter and now come forward wi.-- a warning to policy holders Nearly all of the cattle killed by lightning have met their death In open fields, where In many instances. there was not even a tree to attract the electric fluid. As many dead cattle were found near wire fences, this led to the discovery that the lightning was carried along the wires composing the fences. During a severe storm cattle are liable to run until stopped by fence. Here they stand huddled together ready for the bolt. A remedy is suggested in running ground wire every ten rods several feet into the earth.

 They are looking for some other means of putting the pests out of business.

IN Golfers for September 10 Frederick Palmer the war correspondent, writ ! Ing of the second attack on Motien- ling, under the title of And the Jap anese Kept the Pass" compares the methods of the burly Russians with the agile little yellow men and says: "A Japanese general knows that any force,e placed-stay alive or dead. One company Is as much like another as peas in pod. No special units; no Rough Riders; no Kings Own; no stiffening of weak regi- ments with regiments of volunteers or regulars. There is an approximate level of courage and skill A commander may choose the unit at hand as mechanic takes down any one of small number of equally tempered tools from rack. If you want a Horatius at the Bridge, take the nearest first sergeant.
 ''The Russians came to the attack with a splendid confidence-a childish, mobilize confidence All the way across the Siber- ian steppes in their troop trains they had been begetting this. When they see us
 
 Makaki (dwarfs) will run fast enough. They will find that we are no colonists and reserves-we are the Little Fathers chosen. But the Makaki know a mark when they see one; and they like to fire at a colmun in close order.
 'The habit of the Russian makes him take to the highway and to level places 1.o will tramp under fire over even ground rather than advance under cover over the rough When fire rakes the even ground, for a while he will march back bravely and slowly back-rather than try the other way They must still be infat- uated by the heresy that the sheer. look of them will frighten the Japanese"
 Referring to the spirit of the soldiers, MT. Palmer reeites this significant in- cident Speaking of certain prisoners captured by the Japanese, he says: "One Russian who had been found prcstrate had been examined in vain for any wound Yet it was with difficulty that he was got to walking. Apparently he had been scared stiff by his baptism of fire When another unwounded man was asked how he happened to be taken pris- oner he replied II wanted to be-. When a contemptuous comment was translated to him he said: I have no interest in this war Coming from Moscow. he may have read Tolstoi.

iized world. MT. Palmer describes this incident, which is sufficient to illustrate this amazingly degrading tendency
 Among those who were sent to ob- serve the Russian advance was Lieuten- ant Seinai Yagnagisawa and five soldiers of the Thirtieth regiment. They made contact with the Russians in the woods by the old temple. Two of the soldiers Fukusho Yaesawa ana Tokichi Nakasawa were killed. The Russian line passed over the place where they fell. After ward the Japanese recovered this ground When the bodies of Fukusho and Tokichi were found, their heads-l and all that follows represents surgical investigation and affldavits-had been lain open by an axe or an intrenching tool, with the brain matter falling out. Tokichi had been shot through the aorta and died instant ly. Fukusho had been shot through the heart and died instantly. Both these bull let wounds had bled freely. There was no blood from the brain matter, plainly indicating that the blows on the head had been struck after death In other words, wanton, butcher-like brutality had wrecked it's vengeance on the bodies. Now I must accept the unmentionable outrages (which were supposed to be ex- clusively Turkish and Abyssinian) as also true"
 The cool and deliberate actions of the Japanese may in part be due to the fans they carry. After describing a fierce mornings battle MT. Palmer tells of their use of fans as follows: Some infantry reserves nearby were tanning themselves. To a Russian who has not tasted their fire these Makald might have seemed quite effeminate. The fans which the little men use to cool themselves on the march are presents from the emperor. On them is inscribed, in the handwriting of the commander-in-chef of the army, Marquis Oyama, the words: Do your best for your country! On a hot day fan may beat up breeze in front of soldiers nose which will save him from succumbng."

President RooseveIt's Letter.

The impression one gets from read ing of President Roosevelts letter of ac- ceptance is that of smartness. It bears all the earmarks of a practiced and even of professional writer. Instead Of dignity and sound reasoning the reader finds in it "cute" and clever tricks of rhetoric.
 All through its columns runs the charge of insincerity. MT Roosevelt and his administration monopolize the sincerity in public life. while the dem

By OllVer Goldsmith. Good people all with one accord,
 Lament for Madam Blaize: Who never wanted a good word
 From those who spoke her praise. The needy seldom passed her door.
 And always found her kind She freely lent to all the poor
 Who left a pledge behind. She strove he neghborhoop to please. With manner wondrous winning; She never followed wicked ways
 Unless when she was shining At church, in silks and satins new,
 With hoop of monstrous size, She never slumbered in her pew
 But when she shut her eyes Her love was sought. l do aver'
 By twenty beaux. or more; The king himself has followed her-
 When she has walked before But now, her wealth and hnery fled, Her hangers-on cut short all, Her doctors found, when she was dead Her last disorder mortal. Let HIS lament in sorrow sore;
 For Kent street we'll may say. That, had she lived a twelvemonth more- She had not died today.

Maj. w. A. HandIey,

Major w. A. Handley of Roanoke and Birmingham both, is at the Metropolitan for a weeks stay. He came over from his Roanoke home yesterday. Asked as to conditions in East Alabam Major Handley said:
 "Our farms have made a full and an excellent corn crop; and forty days ago we had the best prospect for a cotton crop, but now 1t is different The weed is there, but the bolls are few and small In many places rust has taken hold. East Alabama will produce no more cotton than 1t did last year

oerats are ever insincere and icon
 slstent. They are never otheEise. #
 We let MT. Roosevelt tell thestory.
 MT. Roosevelt glosses oye his own
 insincerity on the tariff qustion. He
 was once tariff revislnlst-a low
 tariff advocate. an oppdent of Ding
 leyism. z1e quotes fJm his Mime
 apolis speech delivfed about four
 years ago, but he garefully omits to
 give the passages of the speech de-
 manding revifon of the Dingley
 tariff, and he $ equally careful in
 suppressins Wat MT. Mckinley said
 on the subiee of revision just before
 he was asSssinated Mr. Roosevelt
 now poses as standpatter. He de
 iehds laglcyism, and the benefciaries
 or the 5loer tariff are of course ex-
 pec'e1 to subscribe literally to the i'oosvelt campaign fund. It is a mat 'ei of fat -rying. and yet MT. Roose- vt charges his opponents with all orts of insincerity, while he alone is sincerel He no doubt sincerely hopes to gather in pig campaign fund.
 He goes out of hls way to attack the south, charging that this section of the country has nullifed the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the fed eral constitution. The subject Is brought up in connection with dis cussion of the political situation in the Philippines. But he improves the op- portunity by saying that in the sew people neW face the complex problem of securing fair treatment to each man Jf his race or color" This means that the race question is to be while big army and navy can be utilized to keep us in hot water throughout the rest of the world.
 In a word, MT. Roosevelt defends governmental extravagance as it stands today, Dingleyism at home, the Biz Stick abroad, and colonialism m the Philippines and elsewhere. He admits the issues raised by the St. Louis platform, and it is up to the people to say which is right. The verdict of November will determine the nature of this government for per haps a generation to come.
