A potato grower of whom we read
the other day has solved the problem
Of the weeds which usually go to seed
in his patch after the potatoes are ripe
by sowing buckwheat just as the vines
begin to die. He puts his potatoes in
to good depth so that little killing is
necessary, cuts the buckwheat when
ripe and later digs his potatoes. This
gives him two crops from the same
piece of land and, besides, the satisfac.
ton Of having his field kept free from
weeds.

Lots Ready to Sell.

State Land Commissioner Munson
was in Troy Wednesday making final
arrangements for the sale of the new
addition to Troy. The sale will be
held April %. Mr.. Munson has had
hard work on this new addition and
his efforts are appreciated by our citi-
zens. The wishes of the Troy people
and the best interests of the town have
been considered carefully and every
thing possible done that will make the
new addition all that Troy people
could ask or expect. Mr.. Munson has
also used every effort possible to pro-
tect the interests of those who have
already built homes on this tract.
The new lots are large, dry and health
full and will find a ready sale. Many
people have already signified an inten-
ton Of purchasing lots. The city
water system will supply this addition
and it ought to build up very rapidly

eminent the person or persons who
committed it ought to be convicted |
and punished? But he is unwilling to
wait until the accused can even be
given a trial before declaring the
country in a state of armed revolution.
Is not Idaho an honorable state?
Are not its people imbued with the
spirit of liberty and justice? Are we
not common people in a common
cause under a common flag in the
great sisterhood of the American
union? Why should Debs go forth
half demon, half demagogue, with gun
in one hand and a torch in the other
to desolate the face and desecrate
the fair name of a commonwealth as
pure as the luster Of the morning
stars? Idaho is in her infancy, she is
sending her first cradle shouts back to
benehcant creator, who gave her the
domain Of earth she is proud to call
her own. Could not Debs have ap-
Dealed to the citizens of Idaho to see
to it that our trials are fair and that
our courts are just and impartial?
But instead he calls his forces to arms
all over the country to draw the life
blood of millions who have no personal
connection with the case in question.
Revolution, bloody and relentless, is
what he wants, and uses the arrests in
the Steunenberg murder on which to
predicate a cause to show it.
I am personally acquainted with
Mr.. Debs and have been associated
with him in more than one hard
struggle for labor. But by no means
could 1 go with him in the crime of
sedition, insurrecti or rebellion, and
I appeal to the working people every
where to refrain from expressions or
acts of violence againsts the authori-
ties or the institutions Of this great re,
pubic.
I willingly will cooperate with any
leaders of labor for honorable reform,
and concede much of it is needed
but when men like Debs declare they
have million revolutionists at theil
command who are ready to fight with
guns and boasts that the country will
resound with the tramp of revolution
, and suggest revolutionary col ven ion
, as Debs has done, I stay with the flag
and the constitution Of my country
and will seek to right existing wrongs
peaceably within the government and
: not by armed revolutions against it.

District Needs Funds.

While in Moscow Monday The
News looked up the financial con-
dition of school district 81. On jan
uary 1st, 1907, twenty three hundred
dollars of bonds will come due and
there is not one cent with which to
pay them. And these bonds, to, are
drawing eight per cent interest.
They were vc tel IS years ago but no
funds have ever been provided for
their liquidation. The district now
has only $3.50 to its credit in Moscow,
and will get only 5000 more up to
and including the July apportionment,
a sum insufficient to n meet running ex-
penses. County Superintendent
Davis says the state has plenty of cash
to loan our district at per cent and
suggest that the district rebcnd at the
the regular election in June, when
special taxes can be voted.
The limit of special taxes that can lie
voted is eight per cent of the tax
able property of the district, and both
Kendrick and Moscow are paying a
tax up to that point for the support OF
their schools. But the law makes it
the duty of the directors to levy a
sufficient tax, without an election,
which, as a sinking fund, will be
ample to pay off bonded indebted
ness at end of twenty years. The law
also says no district can sell bonds in
excess of six per cent interest.

~ Stand by the Flag.
James R. Sovereign, of Wallace,
Idaho, for years a recognized labor
leader in the United States; man of
ability and experience in the cause Of
labor in this county, contributes the
following able article on the Debs
proclamation to the Wallace Press:
In the Appeal to Reason of March
10, Eugene V. Debs issues a procla-
nation which raises the standard Of re-
volt in America and calls his followers
to arms. beg to submit my personal
opposition to his program and desire
to point out the folly of his course.
Debs was the candidate for presi-
dent on the socialist ticket in the last
national campaign and is now the rec
ognized leader of thst organization.
His proclamation for armed revolution
is doubtless the most violent ever
issued by any economic leader in this
country since the foundation of this
republic.
The appeal to arms would be less
conspicuous if it came from less
prominent leader in the labor move
ment. But coming from him it calls
for the patriotic opposition Of all the
loyal sons of America.
Debs sounds the tocsin of war, but
without any cause to do so. He
boasts that he has at his command ar
army a million strong. Possibly he
has, but many of his enlisted follower:
have strong muscles and only weal
brains as requisite qualities in follow
ing his ill advice. He is bidding only
for fields of destruction, desolation
and despair. He IS longing for thC
pallid cheeks of widowed wives anC
the scalding tears of sisters and sweet
hearts as the reward of his folly. HI
appeals to the personal vanity of hi
followers and seeks to array faction
against faction in moral combat by de
claring that the men accused OF th'
murder of Ex-Governor Steunenberi
are innocent, but have been con
demned to death for the crime.
He is unwilling to wait until any
body is tried or convicted of the crim
but rushes into public print and de
clares that if Meyer and Haywood ar
convicted the governors of COLORADO
and. Idaho shall share the same fat
or suffer death by violent hands.
Well does Debs know that some
body committed that cowardly murde
and that under all rules of good gov

OATS

This market looked heavier the
greater part of the week than the net
result Of the markets fluctuations
guaranteed. People who gave the
market the support it needed, were
not doing so in the way of talk, so
much as in the more effectual way
of placing large buying orders. The
effect of hedging sales against pur-
chases of cash grain in the northwest
had still to be contended with, but they
were less burdensome than they have
been. Though many instances were
cited where the threshing gave better
returns than were indicated by the ap-
pearance of the grain in the fields,
there was no disturbance in the gen.
eral belief that the final yield, will as
whole, fall good deal below that
of last year.
Last year in August, cash oats were
bringing about 2 6to % cents with the
promise of the growing crop excellent.
Before the end Of the crop year, the
cash was selling at AZ cents and over
and this after harvesting one of the
largest crops on record. This year
with an almost certain shortage in
the countries yield of 15O.OOO,OOO bush
els, and about 80 per cent shortage in
Germany's crop report issued Aug.
10th. and the prospect of very large
shortage in the Russian yield, which,
by the way is the largest oats crop
produced in any country, cash prices
range from to 2h cents over the low
prices of last year.
The cash demand for oats is excel.

CORN

This market gives indication of
crawling from under the incubus of
what was considered the favorable
weather for the growing plant. Heat
with the accompaniment of sufficient
moisture were supposed to be the
ideal conditions necessary for the maxi
ing of corn crop, and those were
present in what appeared satisfactory
proportion the greater part of the
week.
That the outcome. promised to be
all that could be desired gave con-
fidence to sellers of the new crop
months, and what was heard from time
of an increase in country offerings of
old corn, gave encouragement to SELL

inducements to espouse the short side.
it was found difficult to get the Sep
TENDER option below last weeks prices,
