May Sutton.
World's Greatest Woman Ten
ms Player off to Eng
land Again.

| Displaying great fairness where an
| opponent is concerned, sturdy Miss
May Sutton of Pasadena, Cal, the
present holder of the all England wo-
mems championship and American ex-
| champion, has gone to London TO de-
fend her claim to the English honors
Miss Sutton won the English cham
pionship last season by defeating Miss
| ID. X. Douglass, the defender, setless,
in the challenge match. Shortly before
the match the English woman had
wrenched her right arm while at prac-
tice. 1t was the opinion of the Eng
lish followers of the sport that had
their champion been in the best of
trim Miss Sutton would have possibly
Jared differently. Approaching the ap-
parent cloud on her title, Miss Sutton
made her plans to again visit London
and defend the championship against
the winner of the tournament on the
Wimbledon courts.
Before sailing for England the Amer
lean girl arranged to play in many of
the eastern tournaments. In this round
OF play she was accompanied by two
OF her sisters, all of whom are experts

Preserving Our Forests.

One Of the most hopeful signs
OF the times is the changing at

the science Of forestry as fostered
by the federalgovernnent. They
are beginning to see that their

extinction uneess the wastage is
checked and the forest is renewed
for future generations. And,

The coal famine, according to our
state exchanges, continues to grow
more acute, and is not confined to
the towns depending upon the Ore
gon Short Line for supply, but
complaints are coming even from
towns in the north where timber is
abundant. If these towns had as
good wood tustlers as we have here
in Owyhee, where wood is hauled
and pack,d over Is to 20 miles Of
mountain trails, gathered from
canyons and rocky mountain sides,
they would have less occasion to
complain.

The Wallace Press claims that
the Occur d'Alene Mining Dis
trict, covering a territory Of
about 1920 miles, will for the
year 1906 pay out in dividends
sum closely approaching
$6,0OO,OOO. This wiIlcome very
nearly equaling the output OF
Leadville or Of the Black Hills in
South Dakota or OF the entire
state Of Nevada. 1t is probably
a bigger return for the amount
Of money actually invested than
any other mining district in the
entire country can show. Or for
that matter Il larger return on
its capital than any other bust
ness can show. This is one OF
the reasons why there isso much
money now being invested in
mining enterprises.

j. Frank Hunt and the
Speakership.
(Payette independently.

(Payette independently.
There are several good and suf-
ficient reasons why J. Frank Hunt
should not be candidate for the
speakership this year-reasons sc
obvious that it ought to be unneces-
sary to mention them. One Of
these reasons-and it is said with
out prejudice, merely as a plain
statement Of facts that Mr.. Hunt
is a prominent leader in this state
Of a church which is under sus-
picion Of meddling unduly with
Idaho politics through the agency
Of its own leaders and the leaders
Of the Republican party, and that
for any leader Of this church to ac-
cept at this time from Republican
house so important a position as
the speakership would be to cast
the church and the Republican
party under still greater suspicion.
Another and more potent reason
is that Mr.. Hunt, when speaker cf
the last house Of representatives,,
was leader Of the faction that sue
ceeded in keeping that body from
fulfilling its party's pledges on the
Mormon question, and as result
placed the party strictly on the de-
fensive in the campaign just closed,
when its position might have been
impregnable, and without doubt
cost it hundreds of votes in certain
counties Of the state. What is
more reasonable, therefore, than to
say that it would be unwise to elect
any Mormon to the speakership at
this time, and doubly unwise to
elect one who has, through his per-
sonal ambitions or the designs of
his church, placed his party in
questionable light?
Viewed from political stand
point, it would be bad politics, if
nothing else, to place such weapon
in the hands Of the Democrats.
Viewed from the broader stand
point Of honesty and straight deal
ing with the voters, il would be ut
terly reprehensible to honor man
with such a position. who, when
formerly holding it, used the power
it gave him to assist in violating
his party's pledges.

The first annual meeting will be held
In Lansing, Dec II, 1906, being the
same date set for the State Association
of Farmers Clubs meeting. The first
session was held Friday afternoon. w.
s. Holdridge, of Hersey, presiding and
4. N. Ball, of Hamburg, acting as Sec
retary. Forty delegates were present
representing fourteen counties. Mem
bers from Indiana, New York and Wis
consin were also present The purposes
of the society were explained, being to
establish business system for the
marketing of farm products which will
remove the speculative uncertainties
now caused by lack of system and place
with the farmers the power to make
and maintain equitable and profitable
prices for all farm products, co-operat-
ing with consumers and legitimate
dealers. so that cost of transportation
and distribution may be equitable and,
not influenced by speculative demands.
The society recognizes the producer,
the distributor and the consumer. It
accepts the principal that upon the pros
perity of the farmer depends the pros
perity of the country and argues that
farmers should receive profitable prices
whether crops are large or small.
| Where crops are large profits are lost by
too liberal marketing of products, the
prices are forced below proper level.
The thing for the society to accomplish
then is the controlling of marketing
and this is to be done by haying reports
as to supplies made from all branch
societies, price, below which nothing is
to be sold, set, thus preventing the oyer
loading of the market and the usual
slump in prices. The price is never tc
be set too high, and the working out Of
the plan makes it possible for Legitimate
dealers to have a basis on which t
work and it is believed they will com
to be as hearty supporters of the plal
as the members who are farmers.
