FUTURE ALL RIGHT I?
Well, Rather - Anyway, FinanCierS
Seem TO Think So.

The Rocky Mountain Bell Tele.
phone Company's local plant in
Mountain Home, under the man
agement of w. f. Powers (who
never ignores an opportunity to
popularize the company and him
self with the public) is constantly
adding new conveniences for the
benefit of patrons, even though the
effect of such policy-as is fre-
quently the case-involves larger
expenditures than the probable re-
turns would seem to warrant.
This indicates not only desire
and effort to serve the public, but
also an abounding faith in the fu-
ture. The people appreciate this
policy, too, as is evidenced by the
liberality with which they patron
ize the company.
The routine at central has
grown SO rapidly that new oper-
ator was put on the first of the
present month, making a total
of 6 employees on the regular pay
roll. In addition to this is the ex-
penditure for extra help during
the month, which amounts to quite
respectable figure each recurring
payday.

Lawful Fence i'm Idaho.

The following is said to consti-
tute lawful fence under the laws
of Idaho:
# made of stone, four and one
half feet high, two feet base and
one on top. If a worm fence the
rails must be the same height as
for stone If made of posts, boards
or poles, the posts must be firmly
set in the ground not more than
eight feet apart, with not less than
three six inch boards, not less
than two-inch poles at the small
end. In a leaning pole fence there
must be four poles If wire is
used the posts must not be over
sixteen feet apart and one sub
stantial stay must be placed be-
tween posts, with not less than two
barbed or three plain wires to-
gether with one board, rail, block
wire or pole. The wires must be
well stretched and securely fasten.
ed to the posts. All fences must
be at least four and one.half feet

If the provisions of the law re.
garding the barbed wire fences are
not complied with, the owner OF

cover damages from the owner.

would mean great saving in ex-
penditure.
While this is very material
saving, and would probably appeal
to Speaker Cannon, and the plan
OF consolidation would probably
meet with the approval OF President
Roosevelt, it is to be remembered
that the carrying out of the COM
missioner's recommendation would
abolish IL good offices which are
acknowledged to be senatorial pa
tronage, and it is not probable that
the United States senate will read
lily take up with the plan which
would take from its grip such a
fine bunch of patronage.
Nevertheless, if the offices are
superhuous, the senate will in time
be obliged to yield to demand
for the consolidation of the two

AS TO CONFIDENCE

While on the general subject of
business enterprise, present and
prospective conditions, etc, it may
not be out of place to call atten-
ton to the fact that capital does
not concentrate whore no promise
of future returns exist. The inves-
tor, the man trained in the world
of finance, who furnishes the
ready cash to develop modern en-
terprise, is not in the habit of bu-
rying his money in hollow
stump, whore it can earn no divi-
dends. He is practiced in the art
of analyzing conditions; he has
studied and noted the effect Of
past conditions on the present,
and is able to form pretty accu'
rate idea of their probable effect on
the future. When he invests his
money he anticipates receiving
proportionate returns.
See the point? The handwriting
on the wall stands out 80 clear
that he who runs may read.
Many new business enterprises OF
substantial and permanent char
acter have been established in
Mountain Home during the past
year. New people are coming in
from all sections-men of money;
and they are investing their
money. They don't do that
merely for recreation; they expect
dividends. The Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Co. has been in bus.
mess here for several years. I'm.
provements are constantly being
added to the service. The men
who direct its affairs are not nov-
ices in matters of finance. When
they sink money here in perma-
nent improvements it shows that
they have faith in the future pros
perity of Mountain Home, doesn't
it2 And it is just possible that
the opinions of such men are more
apt to be correct, and are trife
more reliable, than the pessimistic
snarls of the mossback obstruc.

tary of the Interior, makes two
important recommendations de-
signed to better the public land
service. AS a means of reducing
fraud under the various land laws,
he recommends the enactment
of law imposing heavy penalty
upon anyone who offers any in
ducement to another to make any
kind of public land entry in the
interest of second person and in
creasing the penalty to be imposed
upon those who make entries for
the sole purpose of selling out at
profit. Commissioner Richards
realizes the difficulty of securing
convictions of persons who make
speculative entries under the law
rs it stands today, for the govern
ment has been hampered and
practically thwarted in every at
tempt ii has made to prosecute
speculative entrymen But he be-
! lieqes if the law is made more drastic
and is made to apply not only
to the man who submits to a spec
ulative proposition, but to the
man who offers the bribe, that
there will be less difficulty in
reaching the men who are really
responsible for much of the fraud
that is now perpetrated in every
western state.
The second recommendation con
Germs local lard Offices. Since the
esta blishment of the public land SER
vice each local land office has been
in charge OF a register and receiver,
and in offices doing ii good business,
each official has drawn down $4,000
year. Experience has shown
that in almost ey.ty instance the
work of q local Land Office could
be more satisfaclorily handled by
one official than by two. Lime and
again embarrassment has arisen be-
cause of personal friction between
the register and receiver of some To-
cal land office; there has been a
temporary suspension Of business
pending adjustment; many times
the register or the receiver would
have to be removed and new
one appointed, and all the while
the change was in process public
business was blocked, for no land
office can transact business unless
both the register and receiver are
present.
But the main fact is that one
competent person can successfully
handle the business of each local
! land office, and the commissioner
therefore recommends that the
Offices of register and receiver be
: consolidated, thus doing away
with one superduous officer at each
land office. and saving large sum
each year that is now paid out in
salaries to persons who are not
needed. 1t is a fact that there are
many land Offices where the register
and receiver perform all the work
without clerical aid. If register and
receiver were one that work coulc
be Just as successfully accom-
plished and at less expense. In
many other instances a single per
son in charge, with the assistance
OF the clerical iolce now assigned
to that Office, could accomplish

MORE DAYLIGHT RoBBERIEs.-Se-
attic is not to have the distinction OF
midday holdups all to herself. The
other day, in Chicago, q jewelry store
was visited by three daring robbers,
who wanted to look at some diamonds.
When the tray was placed before them
one held q pistol at the head of the
clerk, and the others walked off with
the tray. The clerk stepped upon the
button of call bell to be used in such
emergencies, and the lady clerk in
stead of giving an alarm came her
self to the rescue and was speedily
placed under restraint by pistol,
while the pillage went on. The case
was carried to hack, and after the
robbers had entered they speedily drove
off. The man with the gun was cap.
tured in lumber yard. He admitted
his guilt and said that he was the
sole robber. He promised restitution
if allowed to show the place where the
plumber was secreted. When escorted
to the place he produced q few rings
and diamonds, but the greater amount
of the booty remains with the con-
federates who at last accounts had
not been found.

Rockefeller's Opportunity.

And now La Watin, OF Paris, makes
sensible suggestion to Rockefeller
the coal-oil king, for disposal of his
wealth in a way that will make his
name much more of household word
than CarDegie's has attained by dis
tribution of libraries and endowment
OF colleges. 1t is that Rocky devote
his entire fortune, if necessary, and he
wishes to lay up treasures where the
thief does not break in and steal, nor
the moth and rust doth not corrupt"
AMI to see the effect of his beneficence
during his lifetime, that he pay the
war indemnity demanded by Japan,
cut the gor'lisn knot that binds peace
propositions, and place himself in a
hero's niche in the Temple of Fame,
that he will never fill 10y his selfish
policy of doing out q few millions
where it is reluctantly accepted as the
price Of blood.
BY this means, La Matin claims,
the names OF Roosevelt and Rookie
Teller will be inseparably connected
with the elimination of peace nego-
tiations that turned q bloody warfare
into lasting peace. Russia and ia
pan will bless the benefaction and the
civilized world applaud the act. No
other man is in position to thus pur-
chase worldwide fame. Let not the
truth expressed by the word "pur-
chase" delay or defeat the proposition.
The glory will be the same and the
sacrifice no less. BY that use, his
millions will be relieved of all faint"
and the benediction, Blessed are the
peace Makers" will be accorded him
