Hunting Garden of Eden.

DR.. Givens left Saturday afternoon
for a trip to northern Idaho, joining
other members of the Asylum commiss-
ion at Nampa Sunday afternoon. The
party consisting of Governor Gooding,
State Engineer Stevenson, DR.. Givens
and D. w. Ackerman are looking for
site for the Northern Idaho Asylum, and
it is understood that they will try to find
garden spot which has many advanta-
ges of soil, climate and location with re-
gard to transportation lines. Half a
dozen towns claim to be the spot and will
doubtlessly try to "show" the party
wherein they are right.

Might Have Been Worse.

Students and editors have their fun
and we are reminded of this by a
"bolt" we got from Logan this week
The Agricultural College troupe which
played "She Stoops to Conquer" at
a number of towns in Idaho and Utah
recently issued booklet giving a
resume of their trip, which probably
makes interesting reading for those
who were out with the bunch, espe-
cially in view of the fact that they
were, as they said, out for lark.
Their announcements indicated that
they we're out advertising the Agri-
cultural College and that fact was
a good drawing card for the play, but
the college was as popular before they
came as it has been since their visit.
The "kiddishness of the matter was
revealed in the fact that they invited
comment and criticism from the press
and then "talked back' when they
got it. One Blackfoot editor gave
them a short, flowery write-up with
out saying anything definite, and an
other said it was "a two-bit show for
which dollar was charged, and an
other (The Republican, said the play
was fairly well put on, but that ONE
would think college troupe would
select a play that had something to
it,. There was no lesson in the play,
no moral struggle, and nothing Of an
elevating nature. If people are to
judge the school by the advertisers
it sends out, it should stand by the re-
suits. I'm their booklet they say the
newspaper writeups we're nearly all
favorable, and that Blackfoot edi-
tor asked if one of the pupils wrote
the play, (they made that up), and
added that the reason he did not ap-
preciate the play was that he was an
ignorant, muscle-bound ass, incapable
of being reached by anything intend
ed for intelligent people. The Re-
publican simply gave its own esti-
mate of the play after seeing it. If
we had published the expressions of
others who saw it, and who gave us
their opinions of it, the criticism
would have been changed from live
ly to severe" If the managers of
the troupe are I'M any way determined
to get all there is coming we can tell
them where to write to get editors
opinions which have kindly been with
held.

People are Suspicious.

There is something strange in the
air about the Johnny group of mines
on Alder creek near Mackay. They
cut a large body Of rich ore in their
upper tunnel, drove through it to the
hanging wall and then shut down and
say it has piuched out. The fellows
who have it bonded can keep control
for another year, and they don It
seem to want to throw it away.

horses and train them this season. He
has Dallas, a colt that he trained last
year, and belmont, another trim
beauty, which, for anything we
know, may appear on the track this
fall at fair time.

Prospects for an Abundant Yield
Very Promising
BEET RAISERS ARE REJOICING
A Striking Contrast With Conditions
One Year Ag0.-Sugar Stock Selling
at Par, Will Go $I.o5 if we Escape
Heavy Frosts.-Fine Weather.

The prospects for the farmer and
the sugar company this year are fat
tering as compared with last year,
and all may safely look forward TO a
good season and good profits.
Last year the season was back
ward, the rains did not come at times
when they would help to sprout the
beet seed, the lands were not in good
condition for that crop, drills and
other machinery were late in arriv-
ing, the whole industry was new to
most of the people, the work Of con-
struction at the factory had to be
carried in connection with everything
else, and late spring frosts and dry
weather made it necessary to replant
much of the acreage.
This year everything seems favor
able. The snow left us early and
plowing and clearing of lands was
carried on in the latter part of win
ter. Everything was organized, ma
chinery was ON the ground ready,
lands were generally in fine condition,
labor plentiful, the weather has been
warm at seeding time, and the show
ers have continued to come at the
right times to keep the ground moist
and to prevent it from getting crust
ed. If no severe frosts come the crop
will be month earlier than last year,
and if killing frosts come the crop
will be quickly replanted. The acre
age this year is three times as great
as last year AMID up to the present
time the stand of beets is very much
better.
Above all this is another phase that
is worthy of notice. Last year the
man who was planting beets was kept
in a worry for fear the factory might
not be completed to consume his crop,
and the man who had borrowed
money to launch out in crop that
vas new and expensive, had much
cause for uneasiness, and when he
planted his beets rather late and got
,nly poor stand or had them killed
~ frost, it was severe trial to him
o have the field superintendent hold
IN inquest over the field of dead beets
md finally advise him to buy more
eed and replant.
The heroes are not all dead, and
he stayers are still among us, and
f any set of men have reason to
hake hands with themselves and each
'ther it is the farmers and business
nen who stood at the helm a year ago
md piloted the beet crop through the
ough seas ahead, and closed their
ars Ito the voice of the knocker.

A PLEASANT PARTY.
The ". 0. ". Orders Entertain
Immense Crowd.

One VI tne many pleasant things
which have happened this spring at
Blackfoot is the card party given
Tuesday evening by the Woodmen of
the World and the Women of Wood
craft at the l. 0. O. F. hall.
About l5O people were present and
while the most of them engaged in
progressive high five few gathered
In favored corners and played Finch
or Jenkins. Everybody was in good
spirits; even the babies present GOO
gooed at the good plays and wiggled
their little feet at the commonplace
parts. Some of the soldier boys who
came in late from meeting of The
Armory company took seats and won
laurels, while Others stepped aside
and chatted or played mock humble
peg on the Brussels carpets. A bunch
OF school girls in one corner played a
very funny game which bystandens
named Potawatamie, but the girls de-
cleared it was just plain Jenkins.
There were some visitors in the
company, conspicuous among whom
were J. D. Fife of the Utah Imple-
ment company of Ogden, and former
Attorney General j. A. Bagley of
Montpelier. While some of the COM
mlttee were busy showing them a
good time, other committeeman we're
rounding up fun in little punches for
any one who came in late or who ap-
peared to be getting the short end Of
the doughnut. When the final count
was made of innings scored on the
manifest" the first prizes were
awarded to Mrs. Henry Simmons and
DR. Claude Ferguson. They had trouble
to find anyone who would rise to ac-
knowledge deserving the BOBBY prize,
but somebody always has to take
credit for having learned other things
better than cards, and in this case
the honor attached to Geo. Warren
and Miss Pearl Smith.
Pretty soon after this happened,
the great double doors were drawn
and supper was announced. The ta-
bles, loaded with delicious things and
adorned with flowers, presented a
very refreshing feeling in more ways
than one. Two sets Of napkins greet
ed the guests, one of which bore the
words, "W. o. W. Supper. The ice
cream served tonight from 'The Best
confectionery, R. H. McAtee, mana
GER" The other ones bore the great
acorn, in the middle Of which was a
log, an ak, mallet and wedge with
the dove of peace descending to it.
The wreath about this emblem bore
the words, "Dum facet clamat,
which only three men in the house
knew the meaning Of. One of them
was ourself (after being told) and
the other two was editor Smith OF the
Southern Idaho Mail. To say that
everybody was made happy at the
tables would be like adding joy to
yladness; but whatever the name, it
was added, and plenty, too.
This was without doubt the
greatest and best high five party ever
given at Blackfoot, and the W. o.
W. people did it to queens taste.
We regret our inability to give list
Of the names of those who are re-
sponsible for this treat, but if you
lust watch for the w. 0. W. badges
about Blackfoot you will be able to
spot" lot Of them.

NO PEONAGE ON
PANAMA CANAL
Attorney-General Moody
Gives His Views on the
Subject
EXAMINE LAB0RERS CONTRACTS

Washington, June 9-Attorney Cen
eral Moody has written a letter 20 the
secretary Of war giving his views on
the general subject OF peonage which.
Il is intended will assist the executive
committee of the isthmian canal COM
mission in making its contracts for the
furnishing Of labor in digging the ca
nal, to avoid a condition of involuntary
servitude under the authority OF the
United States. The attorney general
quotes section l Of the 18th amend
ment to the constitution, which inhib-
its slavery or involuntary servitude.
and then says that wherever the juris-
diction OF the United States extends
there the prohibitions of this article
accompany IL. In the course OF his dis
cussion on the subject Mr. Moody says:
1T is stated that the commission
proposes to import Oriental aliens un-
der contract to perform labor on the
canal. The condition of such laborers
Is not necessarily one OF involuntary
servitude. but it may be, and in fact
usually is, a condition of involuntary
servitude limited I'm duration. This is
clearly shown by an examination OF
the relation of the laborer to his en-
ployer. which has come to be described
as coolyism IN the various parts Of the
world where IL exists. After describ-
ing. by way Of illustration, the oner-
GUS conditions imposed by the "coolie
laws prevailing in India, the attorney
general says that he entertains nc
doubt that these conditions are those
of involuntary servitude, and in con.
/ clusion says In the employment OF
labor upon the canal the utmost care
should be taken TO exclude the condi.
tions which have been indicated a
those of involuntary servitude or any
other conditions of like effect or ten
dency. This care should be exercise,
not only in making the contracts Z,
which the United States is a party. bu
in scrutinizing the contracts, usagei
and practices between those who agrei
to furnish contract labor to the United
States and the laborers themselves
What rules. regulations officers AM
inspectors may be needed in order tha
the employment of labor may not b
violative Of the 18th amendment ma.
we'll be left 10 the discretion of tn
commission"

Orange CN. - Physician Says Use OF
Hammer on oneself Is Remedy.
Dr. 7. w. Lauterborn Of East Or
ange, N. j.. has evolved new and
unique method Of curing a cold, says a
special dispatch from Orange, n. j., to
the New York Press. lie has relegated
the old reliable whisky bottle and the
solaclng qulnlne pill to the rear and
employs a sledge hammer to knock out
the snunies. DR.. Lauterbon treasures
bis patients. however. by allowing
them to ply the hammer themselves.
Dr. LauterbOrn, who Is a man Of ex-
perience. has figured it all out, and he
says that an ordinarily severe cold In
the head, throat or chest will cost the
unfortunate who has means and
faithful physician $40 in money. ten
days in the house and considerable loss
of business besides much suffering
DR.. LauterbOn says a cold always
means a congested and stagnated cir
culation in the part Involved, and he
says bis method Of correcting this Is
swinging a steel striking hammer Wig
orously for twenty to thirty minutes.
This is no joke" says DR.. Lauter-
born. Il mean seriously every word.

posed myself to catching cold as a
demonstration and thoroughly eradi-

DoWIE,s MEXICAN EDEN.
Plan 20 Tunnel Extinct Volcanoes
For Water For 100000 Acres.

Plan 20 Tunnel Extinct Volcanoes
For Water For 100000 Acres.
John Alexander Dowie, the chief
overseer Of Zion City. will secure wa
ter to irrigate the 100000 acres OF
land which he has arranged to pur-
chase in the state Of Tamaulpas, in
Mexico, by tunnelng into four extinct
volcanoes, says a special dispatch from
the City of Mexico TO the New York
Times. The volcanoes are within the
boundaries Of the tract, and are full OF
water. Engineers believe that an mex
haustible supply Of water will be Sc
cured from subterranean sources.
Dowie has agreed to pay 81 Mexican
currency per acre or a total Of $4,000
O00 He will establish seven cities as
well as several agricultural settle
ments. The Mexican colony win be
known as Eden" so that there may
be no confusion with the parent colony
in the United States. Dowie announces
that mules and hogs will not be allow
ed within the boundaries Of the Mex
lean tract, and that an attempt will be
made to exterminate the fieas and mos
quitos.
