RACE SUICIDE ON INCREASE.
London Doctors Assert World Is Follow.

London, Dec. 26.--The question of the
declining birth rate was dealt with the
other night at a meeting Of the Royal
Statistical Society in paper jointly
prepared BY. Dr. Arthur Eewsholme and
Or. /. H. G. Stevenson
Two main ,icses were advanced, that
inhabitants of the United Kingdom and
other civilized countries were markedly
less fertile than was the case few years
ago, and that this state Of affairs is due
to other Juan natural causes
France" said the authors, has anti
cipatcd the rest Of the world and has
thus come near the consumption OF its
social felo de Sc, but it is only ques-
ton Of decades, in the absence OF great
change in the moral standpoint Of the
majority of people, before other coun-
tries follow in the snrne direction possib-
" even at tbs same pace.
"The outlook is gloomy and we cannot
look with confidence to the help which
is likely to come, either from preaching
OF medical teaching.
"Ihe whole field, in fact, seems 10
lead TO the conclusion that the decline
in the birth rate is not due TO increased
poverty, but associated with general

is the expression Of the determination

Irish, Scotch and German potatoes
are coming to Philadelphia by The thou

in Eve years that this article of food
has been brought from over the sea.
Even now it is not owing to any kcarci-
ty in the Quaker City or Pennsylvania,
for the vegetation Of this state. declared
the finest in the world, is plentiful, as
usual. The importations are made nee
essary by crop shortages in other parts
Of the country, especially in New York.
The potatoes are being shipped away
from here as fast as they are received.
From the Haverford yesterday there
were unloaded $1,000 bushels of Irish
potatoes. These were consigned to z.
S. Woodward at only little over six
cents per busheI freight, after being
carried over 1000 miles The potatoes
pay duty Of twenty ave cents a bush

for about sixty seven cents bushel.
The Pennsylvania potatoes, however, hnd
q ready sale at seventy-eisht cents q
hushel, despite the foreign composition.
Another reason given by the importers
for the shipments is the enormous yield
in Europe, the average being from 400
to $50 bushels per acre, while the max
inum yield in the United States under
the most favorable conditions is not
over 300 bushels per acre. The demand

FACTORY CLOSED
FOR SEASON.
At School,.

Last Friday afternoon the high school
folks had some literary exercises to train
the intellect and to give strength to the
knees when standing before an audi
ence. To the uninitiated it is an awful
thing to face an audience and have to
say something. The knees get weak,
the lips hot, the tongue dry and sticky,
the voice husky and the eyes foggy. The
cheeks become red or pale, the heart
cuts queer capers, the nerves lose con-
troll of the lines, there are short. circuits,
cline busy" "waiting?" and other calls,
the memory fails and the victim rings
off and sits down in awful humiliation.
But those are good signs. Many of our
great men recall just such experiences,
and it is we'll known that the pupil who
is never embarrassed on such occasions
never develops any very notable talents.
On the occasion referred to Howard
Biethan gave recitation. Four of the
boys, Richard Stevens, Harry Kinney,
Ernest Kirkpatrick and Wendall Gagon,
sang a song entitled, "I'm on the water
wagon now" which caused a lot of mer-
riment. Professor Melton read paper
entitled, "Motives for high school work. "

Court Notes.

Judge Stevens received telegram
Wednesday from Judge Morgan of the
first district of Idaho, asking if he could
go to kootnia county to try two cases.
Judge Morgan was disqualified to try
the cases and the attorneys agreed upon
Judge Stevens who will try the cases
after the st. Anthony term.
The hearing of the big Snake River
Water Case will begin again next week
at st. Anthony. Judge Stevens finds it
impossible to attend to the regular work
and compile the mass of matter which
must be taken into account in the wa
ter case, so he will appoint a referee to
take up the work and push it to com
pletion. The taking of testimony will
REQUIRE about two months. Compiling
the facts, and issuing the decree will
take about two months more, and it is
thought that it can be completed by the
first of April. 1t is considered peremp-
tory that this work be done befote the
rrgating season opens. Judge Stevens
says there will be several THOUSAND. pages
of testimony and out of that must come
about 500 DEGREES or judgements for the
different parties, each containing com
plete description of the land on which
the water is to be used. Whoever is ap-
pointed referee will be man of ability
whom the leading litigants will approve
of.
S. H. and S. w. Cottrell of American
Falls, were convicted of grand larceny
at Pocatelo recently and sentenced to
three years in the penltentiary. They
appealed the case and secured certlh
cate from Judge Stockslager which
will allow them their liberty pending
the action of the supreme court.

Made Over Three Million Pounds
Of White Sugar.
BIG SHORTAGE IN THE CROP
The large Pulp Reservoir has beea
Lined with planl<s. Nothing wasted
now. Machinery cleaned up.

The seasons run is completed and the
machinery is being cleaned up and put
to rest. All the apparatus for elevatins,
washing and slicing beets was washed
in lime juice at the final cleansing. A
little over three million pounds of sugar
have been made this, season, and while
the beet crop was partial failure, near
ly all the growers have checks for some
money which will tide them over their
most pressing needs.
The company has expended largs
sums of money this year in building new
loading stations along the railroad lines
and have extended aid to many farmers
who have lost their crops by blight or
the ravages of the rabbits. About 1OO,-
600 feet of lumber have been used to
line the pulp reservoir SO that none OF
the pulp would be wasted by lying on
the ground or being tramped into the
mud while the teams were hauling it out
to the feeding places in winter. The
floor of the great bin or yard is built
higher through the middle than at the
sides so the pulp keeps spreading toward
the edges as it piles up under the hume
which carries it from the factory. The
water drains off, leaving it in good con
dition
The management has sent out 500 cir
cular letters to the beet growers an
nouncing their plans for the coming year
and advising the growers to manure
their land and do as much fall blowing
as possible in order to get the land in
better condition, to make it retain the
moisture better and secure earlier plant
ing of seed in the spring.
Mark Austin will have charge of the
field work next year, and will be known
as general agriculturist. Field superin
tendents are visiting the growers to aid
them in the selection of lands which
will raise the best beets, and they are
advising that all inferior or poorly
graded lands be planted to other crops.
The farmers institute will be held at
Backfoot on December 10Th.
Thos. Kneale returns to Colorado this
week and Jacob Tucker expects to 60
about the first of the year.
