The Idaho agricultural exhibit
at the Lewis and Clark fair has
proven . marvel to eastern visitors
and almost every exhibit from this
state has won . prize. There were
68 entries and ont Of that number
81 received gold medals, that being
the highest award. The fact that
the greater number Of these prizes
came to the north part Of the state
10 especially gratifying, 10 our ex-
hibits came in direct competition
with the irrigated districts Of south
Idaho. The wonderful agricul-
tural resources Of Idaho have been
little less than . revelation to east
ern people who have generally sup
posed that the state was wholly
devoted to mining and stock
raising.
Too much credit cannot be given

RAILROADS GET BUSY.
Heads Of the Lines Organize to Defent
''Vested Rights" Against Regu-
Iation of ANY Kind,

Chicago, May 2.-Alarmc(! at the wave
of public opinion sweeping over the coun-
try in favor of government control rail-
road presidents are organizing.
The defense planned is in the line of
campaign of education through bureaus
which are expected to feed the press with
literature or the railroad side.
In addition railroad officials everywhere
are expected to seize every means to SOW
the gospel of non-nterferencc by the gov
eminent with the rate making power
Steps are to be taken to convince the ship
pers that their interests lie with the rail-
road arrangements, rather than with a
commission clothed with the power to say
what is a fair rate and compel its adop-
ton.
one eastern railroad president saws:
'The railroads are In life and death
struggle. and, OF course. we are going
to do everything In our power indi-
vidually and collectively TO defend our
selves and our rights"
A second said. We have delayed too
long. We should have had an organiza-
ton long ago to disseminate our views"
The eastern presidents took the initi-
alive some time ago by establishing a
bureau under the management of ]. II.
Maddy, who is also press agent for the
Erie. Mr.. Maddy has just completed a
transcontinental trip from New York to
Chicago the Twin cities, all the Pacific
coast cities and back TO Chicago by way
of New Orleans. The purpose was TO visit
the newspapers and ask them to use mat
ter setting forth the railroad side.
Following this lead the western presi-
dents have authorized Slason Thompson
to employ experts and being separate ed

erritory. Expense will not be spared.

has stopped playing ge!f. has left the
country in what IS possibly HE most de-
lightful season and has returned to tho
city, and all, according to his intimates,
because his feelings have been hurt by
the talk of tainted money"
He was apparently In good spirits at
Lakewood untu the recent controversy
arose over his contribution to missions.
There was marked change when he
learned the scolnful words applied to him.
and new lines OF worry showed in his face.
Persons who had come in contact with
him every day declare that within a fort
night he aged FIVE years in appearance.
He became petulant and was no longer
able to find recreation in golf He gave
up playing the game about ten days ago
and this week closed his Lakewood house.
Mr. Rockefeller has not attempted to
conceal that he felt hurt that the question
OF rejecting his money was raised He
has changed his attitude about commune
eating with the press and allows the cpl
sode to depresS him.

Secretary Loeb returned early today
from the camp, where he conferred
with the president all OF yesterday.
He announced upon reaching here that
affairs in Washington made it neces-

That there is nothing alarming in the
situation Is manifest by the fact that
the hunt will be continued ten days
more in spite of conditions of govern
mental affairs which resulted in the all
tered plans. The Venezuelan situation,

to start home on May :.
There is much speculation here as to
the presidents reason for advancing
the time of his departure.

worn platitutes that Life is an oppor-

be both opportunity and battle, and
yet have some of the features of !, lottery.
In the first place, men and women are
not responsible for their temperament
which makes mars fortunes, and rem

as our temperament inelines us. and here,
does fate lay Il heavy hand upon us at
the very outset of existence. Then there
is the bare chance OF being born into a
well-to-do family with civilized instincts
and so having the benefit of solicitous care

The child born into a cross-grained, un-
happy, perhaps struggling family is sur
rounded by unfortunate influences.
There is the lottery chance of drawing
a health prize. To be born with "A strong
