On the whole we think the meet

OF the fact that Washington county

showing. This indicates that the
county superintendent and teachers
of this county and city are alive to
the interests of education. Thi,

every school worker spirit of local

The State Teachers Association.

The coming together OF the teach
ers of great and growing stste is
always significant event, The re-
cent meeting at Boise was in many
respects one of which the citizenship
of the state may well be proud.
Boise is an ideal place for such O
meeting, and this fact had much to
do with the success of the meeting.
Here the spirit of the capital city,
the influence of the leaders who are
there officially or otherwise, and the
general spirit of goodwill which
prevailed, made the teachers feel
that theirs was meeting of no
small consequence. The spirit and
content OF the program, however,
did not follow the line We would
like to have seen it follow, vet it
was for the most part strong and
replete with fertile ideas for the
school workers. We were hopeful
that some grave weaknesses in the
state laws regarding school matters
would be taken up and discussed,
but such was not done at any time
during the three days session.
There are laws, such as those relat-
ing to truancy, compulsory attend
snce laws, libraries, rural school
matters, and various other subjects
which must needs be sgitated and
legislaled upon before the Idaho
public schools can be built up and
put on a basis commensurate with
their responsibility and in keeping

SUMMER RANGES.

The dry season in California is doing
great deal TO call attention to the
cattle condition in this State. For
some time past the big cattlemen of
the Golden State have been sizing up
| the situation ON this side of the Sierras
They have discovered that Nevada
/ holds the palm as a cattle state, because
those engaged in the industry of cattle
raising are backed up by the best sum
mer range in the west. The Nevada
farmer if he has gone into the cattle
business, first selects range for sun
mer feed When this Is found or
bought, he commences figuring on hay.
He cuts hay 10 feed in winter an
and drives TO the hills for the summer.
The result is that his cattle are always
! fat aud command price that the
| Californian does not obtain or expect
A few weeks ago several foreign cat
tie owners came to this section looking
for summer range. They hunted
high and low and found the only way
TO gel il was to buy the entire farm,
home ranch and all. The prices in
this case are only such as the million
aire can trihe with. Land where it has
received cultivation has gone up from
few dollars an acre TO hundreds. In
order to secure a range and farm with
hay it Is necessary for new CONNER to
have capital enough 10 make him
independent from the outset.
The farmers on the other side are
handicapped to certain extent. The
Government has reserved II great deal
of land in the past few year, that was
used by the sheepmen and cattlemen.
The cultivation of small farms has cut
into the natural feed that was used in
time gone by, and the failure Of rains
at the season when they We're expected
have sent the Calilornians hunting for
pastures new.
One of the best evidences of Nevada's
beef producing quality is the number
of buyers that pay this section and the
entire State frequent visits. They
hunt into every quarter, buy big aud
small lunches of cattle, ship them to
the coast whsre they demand top
notch prices The quality OF cattle has
advanced amazingly in this State the
past few years. Il was not long ago
that the long horn was IA common
sight on the ranges IN this State. To-
day there cannot be one found. In
stead Of the scrub cattle that once
roamed the ranges, there Is now mix
iure of The best blood that the world
produces. Governor Sparks home
ranch breeds the winners Of the nation,
which is shown by the decision Of
every cattle show from the Atlantic To
the Pacific.
With this kind of condition it is no
wonder that the outsider is looking for
chance to land in this State where
the range never fails aud the stockman
always receives the best prices in the
market. 1t is hard proposition, how
ever as the man who owns range and
and cattle enough to stock IT, is as in
dependent rs Mr. Morgan aud heap
easier in this mode Of life.-Appeal.
