COAL AT SOUTH AMBOY.

The story published in the NEWS
yesterday in connection with the
threatened strike of the coal miners
will probably set at rest the specula-
ton as to what the Pennsylvania
railroad intends to do with the land
it has bought in the vicinity of Ernes-
ton and Runyon, on the south shore.
For a month or two past, our news
columns have been telling of the ac-
ton of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad in
the vicinity of South Amboy. First it
was options on the various farms and
then came the purchase, which gave
the railroad control of enough terri
tory to build a city, if it so desired. 1t
now is stated, however, that a stock
ground, to exceed the one at South
Amboy, is to be constructed. This
has been the most accepted theory all
along. although no confirmation of
it could be secured. Men are to be
actively at work day and night, with
in a week, on this new storage ground
according to the latest report, and the
place will be capable of handling the
output of all the mines reached by
the Pennsylvania railroad.
Evidently preparations are being
made for a struggle with the miners.
The storage of other companies also
speaks for this.
The locating of this enormous
stockyard near South Amboy means
that the best facilities must be had
for getting the coal away. This
NOuid CAplaIu tlt 0NOlN BubllollCh ~
clusively in the NEWS, of the
changes to be made at the South AM
boy docks. 1t is evident that, with
modern machinery to store the coal,
there must be modern machinery to
get it away, for the demand will be
enormous if a strike should come.
The old method of unloading cars
into boats by letting it fall slowly
from the bottom is to be replaced by
a system of picking up the cars and
dumping them bodily, and then move
them on in an endless chain system.
The prediction in the NEWS many
months ago that South Amboy was
to become n of the greatest coal
shipping ports along the Atlantic
coast is about to be realized.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10.
THE NEW De MOOR

1t is folly to put new wine in old
bottles. What, then, are we to think
--mhen We read-o 2 polltic}l party
with brand new principles, attempt
ing to work under the standard of
the democracy? The call issued to
the citizens of the state by prominent
men in the democratic party, publish
ed in the NEWS yesterday, is of I'M
usual interest, particularly for the
radical stand taken. For instance,
take the following paragraph;
1--WE demand municipal ownership
and operation of all local public util-
tiles and government ownership and
operation of all railroads, express,
telegraph and telephone %monopolies.
Until this is accomplished, we de-
mand that franchises be granted for
short terms only
Such a radical statement by so rep
resentative a body Of men a few years
ago was never dreamed of. In fact,
the ideas are somewhat ahead of the
present day. Municipal ownership
is frequently heard of, but to advance
on to government ownership is an
enormous stride. 1t is but a natural
sequence to the first mentioned, how
ever, and the day is not far distant
when government control of railroad,
telegraph and telephone lines will be
a national issue.
Credit must be given these men,
who would parade under the title of
democracy, for taking the bull by the
horns, not playing with the subject
half way, but coming out directly
with a clear declaration of what they
ISdlly SldHu lOI. ItSe principles
which are announced are considered
radical now, and will probably be
overwhelmingly defeated at first. but
they will eventually win. People are
becoming aroused. The recent inves-
legations have revealed a condition
of affairs that cannot be passed IN
noticed.
Socialism is at present an idealist-
ic condition of affairs that cannot be
.I~accepted with reason, but municipal
and government control of public
utilities, is something that is bound
to come. The question must be met
and New Jersey is not backward in
keeping abreast with the times.
Already there are signs of the re-
publicans becoming alarmed. They
view with distrust this restless spirit
among tho PEOPLE TO control what ac-
tually belongs to them, and to de-

upon it from sundry sources, espe-
cially Democratic. The New York AS
semhly has passed a bill providing for
the equipping of four Assembly dis
tricts in Brooklyn, Queens and Rich
mond county, with machines for use
at the next election, and it will go
through the senate. The testimony
in favor of the machine by assembly
men from Erie county and other dis
tricts having it in use. was so strong
that the bill passed by a two-third
vote. The only discount on the ma
chine is its excessive cost, which
should be materially reddced.-Cam-

IDAHO BOUNDARY
The Change In Idaho's Eastern
Boundary VIII Add Ahassi
Five Hundred Square
Miles OF Land to
Our Domain

The state Of Idaho is making large
gains in territory by the boundry survey
being carried on by the government.
The line dividing this state and Mon
tana, which is being run by the survey
ors in the field, has recently been COM
pleted from Lolo pass to st. Regis pass
The result shows an increase to the
state Of 1870 square miles OF territory
over that shown by the most accurate
map yet made. 1t is estimated that
further increases when the surveys have
been finished. will make sufficient ad-
ditions to the state to bring it up to 500
square miles, territory one-half the
size'o Rhode Island or Delaware, and
enough to make good sized county ev-
en- in Idaho. The line just completed
between the passes l. only about one
third the distance of the entire survey,
yet it is not believed that the remainder
nf the work will make very marked
changes over existing maps, owing to
the character of the country which de-
fines the boundaries.
While the territory acquired will come
L4rgrly within the forest reserves, the
immediate effect will be felt in the great
additions to accrue to the school lands OF
the state, lieu sections of which can be
made at any time.
This will amount to approximately H.
800 aci es, which, at the minimum price
of $40 per acre, gives an added wealth to
the state of $4,000
The act of congress defining the bound
ries of the state OF Idaho reads as fol-
lows:
Beginning at a point in the middle
channel of the Snake river, where the
north boundry intersects the same then
down the Snake river to point opposite
the Kooskia or Clearwater river; thence
due north to the 10Th parallel of lati.
tude; thence east along that parallel, t.
the 39th degree OF longitude west Of
Washington; thence south along that
degree of longitude to the crest of the
Bitter Root mountains; thence south
ward, along the crest of the Bitter Root
mountains till its intersection with the
Rocky mountains to the 34th degree o.
longitude west of Washington; thence
south, along that degree of longitude tC
the 42nd degree north latitude; thence
west, along that parallel, to the eastern
boundry OF the state of Oregon; thence
north along that boundry to the place Of
beginning"
The survey made begins at the north
line of the Bitter Root forest reserve and
extends along the east line of the Sho.
shone reserve, and gives to that country
the increased territory. The remainder
of the survey will be made next season

BEAuTIFY SCHOOL GROUNDS

The State superintendent of Public
Instruction has offered a prize of 800 to
the school district making the best eff
fort toward beautifying their school
grounds. Any school district desiring
to compete for this prize should have
photographs taken, both before the
work commences and after it is COM
pleted. The first photograph should be
taken between march and June and the
final one not later than October the
first. They should be sent to the office
of the State Superintendent before Nov
ember the fist, where a committee APP
pointed for this purpose shall pass upon
them.
We might also suggest that if our
schools wish to compete for this prize
or wish to beautify the school grounds
merely for their own improvement,
that there is a free seed distribution de-
partment attached to our department OF
Agriculture and letter addressed to
any of our representatives at the Nation
al Capital will bring the sender variety
of flower and garden seed that could be
used to advantage in the work

IDAH0'S SNOW FALL
Summary Of the Snowfall In
This State so Far
this Season

The fall OF snow thus far this winter
has been very uneven. Observ-
ers in come sections reporting it to have
been above the average, while those in
adjacent districts report il as having
been unusually light. In the extreme
eastern portion of the state, comprising
upper Snake river drainage and the reg
ion drained by the Bear river, the fall
has been light, while a little farther
west, in the remainder of the drainage
areas mentioned. the fall has been much
more satisfactory. In some cases above
the average. Throughout the drainage
Of the Wood river the fall has been be-
low the average, in some places lower
Than year ago. Correspondents in
Boise basin report an average fall to
date, while the reports from the upper
Boise and its tributaries indicate con-
siderable deficiency in some localities
and an ,xcess in others. Correspon-
dents in Long valley report the fall as
average or below reports from the 9TH
er parts of the Payette drainage aera are
not available. In the Owyhee noun
tains there has been good fall of snow
average or above. The same is true OF
the Seven Devels. The amount of snow
on the ground in the aera drained by
the Samon river is below average,
though in few localities there is slight
excess. Reports received from the
Clearwater country indicate an average
fall to date. In the extreme northern
ous tributaries Of the Columbia, the fall
has been average or above. In north
ern counties there was ample rain in the
idll 10 ichNc llc SUI iii Eoou cohuieiohI
but elsewhere the soil WAS rather dry at
the beginning of winter, and thus in a
condition to readily absorb water from
melting snow. The weather for the
month of December was characterized
by continuously low temperature, with
out periods of thawing weather, and as
a result OF this condition the snow now
on the ground is relatively light and
dry. There has been less than the us.
ual amount of drifting. But in some
places mountain gulches are already
well filled.-Edward L. Wells.

The gross value OF the mineral pro-
duct Of the Coeur d'Alene district for

which mean that the wealth of the
mine owners of that small district was
increased by about q, 900 900. This sur
passes the records OF all previous years
in the history OF that section, but it is
reported that the present year promises
even a greater showing.
Pete Parker of Bonner's Ferry took
four couger skins to Rathdrum recently
