Senatorial Reform.

It may not be many generations in
American histosy before the great po-
litical issue Will be senatorial reform
not the substitution OF one senator for
another. which would be meaningless
but a modification OF the mechanism
by which the senate is so nearly dom
iiiant in the affairs of the nation. No
method of electlng senators could be
devised more promotiVe of the present
evils than that now in vogue. II works
we'll In New England. but not In the
more rapidly moving west. With the
rules of the senate itself. the public
may some time have something to say:
any one man can virtually hold up
legislation. or shape 1t to suit his own
interests and the rest OF the senate
and the country are pOwerless to pre-
vent this. The senate makes its own
rules, but the people make the SEN
ate, and they may decide some time
to do their work over again.
1t Is useless to pretend that the
house Is coordinate branch of the
senate and as for the president. any
senate can tire out the strongest and
most popular executive in case he
Identifies himself with measures of re-
form, and against the interests OF the
special classes. Presidents come and

mense crops without irrigation.
While a rapid advance marks
every line Of industry in North
Idaho, the lumber industry is MAX
ing the greatest strides, and is
causing the greatest development.
Big mills are going up, giving en-
ploymeni to great numbers of la
borers, and providing a home
market for many of the products of
the ranch. Towns are rapidly grow
ing in population, and new towns
are springing up.
Congressman French estimates
that there is 2,700,000,OO0 feet of
white pine in Idaho, covering 270,-
600 acres, most of which is in Mort b
Idaho, and for every foot Of white
pine there ale five feet Of other
valuable timber, such as yellow
pine, fir, tamarack and cedar. Orr
timber ia pronounced by competent
authority to be of the finest quality
in the world.
IdaLo's days is at hand, and now
is the time to get in on the ground
tioor-it matters not whether it is
ranch that is wanted, timber
claim, a town lot, or a gold mine
Or if you want to start in business
now is the time, and Idaho is the
place.

GREAT is IDAHO
Her Boundess Resources are on the Eve
of Most Wonderful Development

Iiaho is just at the opening of
great development. The advance
that has been made in the past two
years has been great, but it is only
a beginning. Idaho contains thou
sands Of square miles of tillable soil
to be had of generous government
for the asking. 1t contains other
thousands of square miles of virgin
timber, a stranger to the wood
mans AK, and still other thousands
of square milee, rich in precious
metals, unprospected and undevel-
oped.
Other states adjoining Idaho have
had their periods of great industri-
al development. Idaho will have
its day, and that day is now at
hand. The door of opportunity is
swinging wide open.
In the South sums ranging up in
the millions are being expended in
greater irrigation enterprises, pro-
viding new homes for many. Live
stock, fruit culture and agriculture
are all in a prosperous condition.
But it is here in North Idaho
where there seems room for the
greatest development. We have
the richest mines, the greatest for,
ests, and farms that produce inn

foot hill lands. No irrigation is re-
quired whatever. Grains do splen-
didly, but as rule, hay, live stock,
vegetables and fruit are more val
liable, as ranching propositions,
owing to the home market. A good
idea Of the climate may be obtained
from the statement of the fact that.
Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plrms,
Prunes, Apricots, Cherries and small
fruits thrive in tl,o KessOIaai Valley.
The Kootenai Valley, named af-
ter the Kootenai River, navigable
stream, 600 to 900 feet wide, ex-
tends from Boomers Ferry north
into British Columbia, a distance
of so miles. 1t is three to five
miles wide. There are other valley
lands along small streams. Back Of
the valley are the bench lands, the
timber lands, and, in adjacent
mountains, an undeveloped mineral
cluntry.
New settlers are desired in the
Kootenai Valley. They will find a
Lospitable people and every advan-
tage of schools, churches and soci-
cites. Bonners Ferry has a fine
graded school, with four depart
ments. 1t has two churches, Pres
by terrain, AMI Catholic, and another,
the Methodist Episc opal, to be
erected this year. Thsre are eight
secret fraternal organizations in the
town. The population centering
at Boz ners Ferry may be estimated
from the fact that at the last elect
