THEY FEAR THE SHOCK.


The tariff question is growing more
and more embarrassing to the admins
tration. The demand for revision is
increasing and yet the republicans are
afraid to commence revising for fear
they can not find q stopping place.
They seem inclined to take hold of the
machine, but they dread the shock.
To refuse to do anything ia to alien.
ate the tariff reformers; to make any
material reduction is to anger the ben.
eficiaries Of high tariff. Whichever
way they turn they see trouble brew.
Ing.
The latest protest comes from the
building associations. The representa-:
tiYes of these associations recently met
In national conference and one of the
conferees brought out IN an able paper
that the tariff on building material was
not only q heavy burden to home build
ers, but hindrance to home building.
The arguments made 80 commended
themselves to those present that com
mlttee was appointed to draft and pre-.
sent to congress memorial asking for
a reduction of the tariff on building
material. The position taken is direct
ly in line with the position which the
democrats have consistently held for
years. They have insisted that the re.
publican leaders while prating about
home industries have not only neglect.
ed but actually Disseminated against
the most important home industry-the
industry of home building. The young
man who, selecting some young woman
who is willing to trust her future to bis
brain and arm, starts out to build for
himself and wife home, is harassed at
every step by the greed of the protected
manufacturers. They demand a tri.
butte on lumber, hardware. carpets, fur
nlture-on everything that enters into
the home. When the democratic party
says to them, Hands off and let that
home industry live." it is protecting
the greatest home industry that this or
any other country ever had.
But the voice of the home builder
will never be heard in republican coun-
cils-he does not contribute to the cam
paign fund. He simply votes and as
long as he votes the ticket straight no
matter what the party does his interests
will not be considered. The protected
interests send their representatives to
Washington and threaten revenge If
their subsidy is disturbed. The situa.
ton recalls the story of the tramp and
the merchant. The tramp went into
clothing store and when the merchant
was not looking picked up a coat and
put it on and ran out. AS he went out
the door the merchant saw him and
took after him shouting. ''stop thief"
but the thief did not stop. Then DO.
liceman Joined in the chase and shout.
ed, 'stop thief" but he did not stop.
When the policeman drew his revolver
and warned him that he would shoot,
the merchant became excited, grabbed
the policeman by the arm and begged,
IF you do shoot, shoot him in the pants,
the coat belongs to me-"
The trouble is that the republican
leaders are afraid to shoot anywhere
for fear they will offend some of the
corporations that furnish the sinews of
war. They recognize that the tariff
question is like an electric battery and
they are afraid of 1t.

To Kill Ground Squirrels.

Representative Wilson of Wa
satch, known to members of the
fifth session as RAILROAD Bill" is
much concerned on the question OF
bounties, and thinks the present
law should be revised. Mr.. Wilson
lives in section infested with
ground squirrels, and in a CONVEX
sation with number of colleagues
dnring last week, he made known
the fact that he had hit upon a
scheme which proved very effective
in the determination of the pest re-
ferred to. Said he: eff you're
bothered with ground squirrels,
get shingle and soak it; then
sprinkle it with strychnine and on
top of that place thin layer OF
salt; then add more strychnine and
Law the shingle in the path of the
SQUIRRELS. If this doesn't catch
them, then / know of nothing else
!, that will" Mr.. Wilson says under
oath that he had killed as many as
: 700 squirrels in one day, and that
) where there used to be thousands
, of the little beasts, today their
ranks have been reduced to very
5 few. He explains that the salt
2 hardens and the squirrels come
g along and lick it, thus getting a
: deadly dose of poison. The result
: is that Mr.. Squirrel Immediately
S laws down and dies. The old
S method of mixing strychnine with
!. bran is not satisfactory, as the bran
b dries up and blows away; besides
O this also kills the birds. To cope
d with the grasshopper pest Mr.
|, Wilson suggests-and in this he II

will probably be fair average, but
it does not drift except in few of
the most exposed parts of the val
ley, an almost entire absence of
strong winds being one of the
charms of the valley. AS an in
stance of what our winters are like,
many people keep their cattle out
without shelter all winter, throwing
their feed on the snow The wealth
er is not excessively cold, men feed
ing their stock most of the time
without coats, but an occasional
sharp snap will sometimes last two
or three days. The ground usually
does not freeze, snow covering it be-
fore heavy frosts set in, so that as
soon as snow is off in the spring
work may commence. Winter is
the time when most of the work in
the timber is done, such as cutting
fence posts and rails, barn logs, etc.
The population of Long Valley
is somewhere between 1000 and
1000, probably nearest the latter
fgure), it having doubled within
the last past three years. The chief

The new wagon road to Thunder
Mountain comes up the valley to
Thunder City, whence it turns east
and follows Big creek and on to
the famous gold camp. This road
is also the mail route for the new
mining town of Roosevelt. There
is considerable talk of extending
the Idaho Northern railway from
Emmett along this road, and 1T is
said that work on the extension
will commence early this coming
summer.

to Council, where connection is made
by freight teams, which pass
through Meadows, on to the Payette
Lake and thence to Warren. There
are two or three trails to Thunder
