| Not all peddlers who go out pay for
their own stocks. Each of the houses
who outfit peddlers in this city has in
its employ several peddlers who sell
goods from house to house, much after
the manner Of travelling statesmen.
They receive commission, and it is
in this way that the peddler generally
enters the business when his capital
is depleted. Sometimes their earnings
would be considered good wages by
most workers; again, they come home
with only few dollars to their credit.
AS far as profits on the goods sold 90.
it is doubtful if there is any business
that pays the percentage that the ped
dler's does. a paper of assorted nee
dies bought for % cents a dozen sells
for 10 cents each This is a little
more than the average profits OF the
peddler, for in the sections of the coun-
try adjacent to large cities the price
on all articles rs cut lower than il is
in the sparseIy settled regions
The percentage which the com
mission peddler" receives is all that is;
left after he has, returned for the goods
at the outfitter's price. The outftter
fixes price to the peddler. and this
!,
rest is his own. This makes his per
centase OF profit entirely dependent
upon the prices he will charge. and
the Ghetto product is never weak
hearted when it comes: to n question
Of profits. The advantage in his kind

Governor Morrison will remain
in Boise, after his term of Office
expires, to enter the law business
with ]. T. Pence, says the Boise
News:
Governor Morrison has let it
be understood that he will continue
to be resident of Boise after his
term of Office expires and that in
the future this city will be his le-
gal residence. About a year ago
he formed law partnership with
]. T. Pence, the we'll known Dem
ocratic leader, and has devoted his
spare time from his official duties
at the office. After the first of jan
uary he will devote all of his time
in the law Office. He will proba-
bly, maintain his connection with
his old law Office in Caldwell, but
that city will know him no more
as a resident.

Serious Railroad Collision.

Shortly after midnight last Sat-
urday morning passenger train No.
3, Union Pacific collided head-on
with a fruit special at Azusa,
Wyo., 179 miles east of Ogden,
with the result that there were nine
killed and five injured.
The names of the dead so far
made public are:
William Murray, engineer of
passenger train.
B. F. Eccles, Evanston, enigneer
on freight.
Bert Sherman, mail clerk, Chey-
enne.
Sam Efferson, car inspector.
Joe Lowman, Evanston, head
freight breakman.
Two passengers in the chair car.
Freight fireman missing.
Breakman missing.
The injured are: John Winslow
of Evanston, Pacific messenger was
fatally injured.
Among the injured are three
passengers, the baggage man and
mail clerk.
The blame is officially laid on
the night operator at Granger and
not the train dispatcher. Both
trains were going at a good rate of
speed at the time of the accident
and there is nothing in the report
sent into headquarters to de-
note that there was a curve at the
point named.

Chas Coxson, proprietor of the
St. Anthony Livery Feed and Sale
stable, wishes to notify his many
patrons that owing to the material
increase in the cost of feed stuffs,
he will be compelled to slightly
raise his prices for feeding and
stabling horses. Mr.. Coxson has
for II years conducted livery
stable at the same old stand, and
the prices charged now are the
same as charged years ago, (Cleve-
land prices) when hay was only
worth SO delivered and oats were
80 to 40 cents per bushel. Hay is
now Sc delivered in town and oats
are worth $1.25; and it can be seen
at glance that horses cannot be
fed at the same prices now that
they could in those good old Cleve-
land days In consequence of this
fact Mr.. Coxson has decided that
from this date there will be slight
increase in the price of board for
horses. Mr.. Ccxson desires to
notify the public that he will give
personal attention to the business
and guarantee satisfaction.

Beet Raising in Idaho.

Salt Lake Tribune: "Sugar beet
raising along the Snake river val
ley III Idaho is promising a great
future = Joseph E. Rolker, repre-
sentlng a large sugar beet seed
house in Germany made the state
ment at the Knutsford. Mr.. Rolker
Is back after visit in the section
OF which he speaks. 1t is near St.
Anthony. He made an inspection
OF the farms and the conditions
with a view to seeing what the
future would demand in the wav Of
seed.
The country is excellentlv
adapted to cultivation of this crop. /"
said Mr.. Rolker, "and the farmers
are doing splendidly. They raised
average crops of fourteen tons to
the acre, which is phenomenal.
LAS they plow deeper and take
bigger areas the beet sugar cultiva-
tors of Idaho are going to greatly
increase their output. AS to the
factories in that section, they are
excellently equipped and handled.
The country is to my mind excelled
by none."

Reform School Turned Over.

The Pocatello Tribune gives the
following account of the turning
over of the Industrial Reform
School to the state:
According to statements made
by I. D. Catalan and other men,
bers of the board, the best state
building in Idaho was turned over
by contractor Walker last Saturday
when the reform school board was
given possession of the new state
reform school building at St. An
thony.
The members of the board, T.
D. Catalan of Boise; ]. F. Hunt,
of Swan Lake; Mrs. Frank Pyke
of Dubois; Mrs r. L. Nourse, of
Haley; the governor and superin-
tendent, were not all present at the
formal transfer last week, but
majority were on hand to make
final inspection of the structure,
and accept the keys from contrac-
tor J. w. Walker.
The building is of brick and cut
stone and cost $4,000. The finish
is very handsome throughout, and
the walls are decorated in delicate
shades. An excellent water supply
is secured by pipe line from St.
Anthony, which gives fine pres
sure in case of fire.
A complete system of heating
and lighting is installed, the light
ing being the Nerust system of
electric lamps, that are becoming
very popular in the east. A COM
plete plant with boilers, engine and
dynamo are installed and tests
proved they worked perfectly.
Some of the more important
rooms of the buildings are carpen-
ter shop, bakery, laundry, shoe
shop, storage, kitchen, engine
room, boiler room, dining room,
public sitting room, girls dorlnito-
ry chambers, sewing room, etc.
The plans which were drawn by
J. Food Walker, provide every
convenience and every detail has
been carried out. ]. w. Walker
of this city, who erected the build
ing, burned the brick, 25O,OOO, on
the ground near by, and had his
stone hauled from the Tetons. A
5000 gallon steel tank is placed in
the top of the building to insure
against accident from fire.
All the workshop departments
are coated with fire proof asbestos
paint. Windows are all hung with
Tabor revolving sash from New
Jersey.

SOVEREIGN Makes Statement.

James X. sovereign, the former
labor leader, who has recently re-
turned from campaigning trip in
the east gives the following inter
view to the Spokesman Review on
the Republican landslide:
''The overwhelming victory of
the Republican party at Tuesdays
election was due to the factional
differences in the Democratic party
and the personal popularity of
President Roosevelt said Mr..
Sovereign.
"The Democratic party was split
asunder on different issues, he
continued, (which was partly re-
sponsible for its defeat. But you
can not down the Democratic party.
The south will vitalize it.
"There was nothing on the sur
face to indicate the great upheaval
that was about to take place. The
political meetings l addressed in
Indiana, New York, Illinois, Dele
ware and West Virginia were large
ly attended and enthusiasm was
unbounded. l closed the campaign
at Fort Wayne, Ind, to an audi
ence of over 1000 people The hall
was unable to accommodate those
desiring to attend and two over
flow meetings were held. Previous
to the meeting parade took place,
which was over two miles long.
"Similar scenes were enacted in
the other parts of Indiana and in
the other states: At several places
the parades were headed by tin
plate workers who had been thrown
out of work, at others by glass
blowers who were out of employ
ment. At Marion, Ind, the pro-
cession was led by the drum corps
from the soldiers home, and many
of the inmates marched in the par
ade. There were no indications of
the strong undercurrent flowing
toward Roosevelt
"While campaigning in Indiana
I addressed 43 meetings. 1t was
my pleasure to occupy the rostrum
with Mr.. Bryan at three of them.
1 spoke once at Chicago and once
in New York City,"
When asked as TO his opinion
regarding the Socialistic vote, Mr..
Sovereign said; "Anyone can
build up party to certain point,
if no resistance is offered. A party
can be started having for its plat
form the Millennium, and it will
gain considerable following. Year
after year the vote of the prohibi-
ton party remains stationary.
The Socialist party can be built up
to maximum Of 3 5000, 900 votes.
When, however, any resistance is
offered to it, it will founder upon
the rocks.
Mr.. Sovereign has been offered
position with a lecture bureau
and will probably accept, His
subject will be "The Errors of So
cialism and the Inapplicability of
Socialism to Modern Civilization. "
