THERE is pronounced sentiment
in the country favorable to the
election Of United States Senators
by a direct vote of the people. The
constitution, however, provides that
they shall be chosen by the legis-
lature. 1t is very hard matter
to secure the ratification Of an
amendment to the constitution,
and no effort looking towards this
change seems likely of immediate
success. In some states, particu-
larly in the South, the same effect
has been sought to be obtained by
nominating the candidate in the
state convention. This does not
give the people a right to vote
upon the matter, however, and is
far from accomplishing the end
desired. The people vote, in one
case, for a member of the legislat-
ure to make the choice for them,
and in the other, for delegates to a
county convention to go and select
other delegates to 90 to state
convention to make the selection
tor them. 1t is a question if the
choice is not farther removed from
the people by the convention plan.
1t is also a question if the conven-
ton is not more susceptible OF
trickery and improper influence
than the legislature itself. These
are questions to be determined by
the dominant party in Idaho in
the next few months.

Editorial NOTES.

THE statement sent out from
Washington a short time ago and
published in a leading newspaper
in Idaho to the effect that Senator
Hepburn, in an argument before
the Senate Committee on Public
Lands, on the question OF forest
reserves, arraigned President Roo
sevelt and in severe language con-
demned his forest reserve policy,
upon investigation, is found to be
absolutely without foundation; and
is a further evidence of conspir-
acy among certain newspapers to
discredit the work of Senator Hey
burn through reports sent out by
their Washington correspondent;
aud in this effort to mirepresent
the Senator very little regard for
truth has at times been shown.
Senator Hepburn introduced a bill
providing that forest reserves be
created by act of Congress instead
of by executive order, and in this
effort on his part to protect the in
terests Of Idaho, as he sees them,
no disrespect is either shown or in
tended for President Roosevelt. In
fact the proposed measure only in
tends to take from the head of n
bureau in the government service
the power to turn a portion of Ida
no into a forest reserve, and place
that power in the hands of the peo-
pies representatives. in Congress
where it justly belongs, and who
being better acquainted with
conditions IN the respective states
are better able to determine the
needs and desire OF the state. Ii
the Senators and Representatives
are to have nothing to say with
reference to the national forestry
policy, great injustice is likely to
be done by placing in forest re-
serves vast tracts of land adapted
to home making.

bulletin by the Pennsylvania State
College says; The supply of nat
I've Ginseng root is rapidly dim
inishing and the price per pound is
correspondingly increasing, while
the constant demand for the drug
in China stands az a guarantee Of d
steady market for Ginseng in the

"There will be little difficulty in
disposing on this coast of all the
Ginseng that is grown in America.
Ginseng is staple on the mar
kea the same as corn, wheat and
cotton. The present market price
varies from $500 to SIS 90 per pound,
while the cost OF production is less
than $3.50. There is room in one's

Kootenai valley ReolamatiOn.

There are 100000 acres of land
between Boomers Ferry and Koot-
enai Lake, which ii reclaimed from
overflow would be worth 800 per
acre, or total OF $2C,OOO,OOO. Such
reclamation of such lands is be-
coming national question and
there is hope that the Government
may yet become interested in the
Kootenai Valley.
The following letter has been
received from NJ. J. Costello, gen.
eral industrial agent Of the Great
Northern Railway, at st. Paul,
Mimi:
Secretary Commercial Club, Bon
ners Ferry, Idaho.
Dear Sir
Referring to the question of
drainage of Kootenai valley: 1t
might interest you to know that
the question of drainage is becom-
ing a national one, the state OF
Minnesota having some 100000
acres in the northern part OF the
state to be drained, as well as over
million acres in the Red River
valley of North Dakota.
Both of these states have organ
lied drainage leagues and are TAX
ing the matter up at Washington
through their United States sen
ators and congressman as well as
other influential state politicians
interested in this question.
A bill has been introduced il
congress by Congressman Steener
son Of Minnesota, with reference
to an appropriation for the pur
pose of drainage of northern Min
nesota, and other bills OF slmllai
nature will be introduced in thu
senate.
l think this Is an opportun'
time for the people in your local
ity to bring this matter befor'
your representatives at Washing
ton. The present act does no
provide for the reclamation of lane
by drainage and in some localitie
this drainage is OF as vital impor
lance as irrigation.
Would be glad to learn you
views in the question.

some INFORMATION
ABOUT ELECTION LAWS

A general election will be held ON
June A, 1906, to elect the following
officers: Governor, Secretary of State,
State Treasurer, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Attorney General,
State Printer, Representative in U. S.
Congress, representative in state
Legislatuer Sheriff, County Clerk, and
County Commissioner.
A primary election will take place
on April 20, 1906, for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the offices
to be filed at the ensuing general
election;
2. Selecting candidates for United
States Senator;
3. Selecting delegates to conven-
tions to be held;
4. Electing committeeman for each
election precinct. Each committee
man thus elected is to be the repre-
sentative of his political party in and
for such precinct, and these commit
teemen will constitute the county
central committee of each of said po-
litical parties.
The direct primary nominating
elections law provides that all politis
cal parties shall hold their primarie-
at the same time and place and 1t also
designates that this work shall be
fairly, freely and honestly conducted.
1t is as necessary for the preservation
of the public welfare and safety that
there should be free and fair vote by
secret ballot and honest count at pri-
mary elections as at general elections.
Members of every political party and
voluntary political organization are
rightfulIy entitled to know that every
person who offers to take part in the
affairs of such rGity or organization
in the state /, IN good faith member
Of that party. This is provided for in
Section l5, which reads as follows:
"No person who is not a qualified
elector and registered member Of
party making its nominations under
the provisions of this law shall be
qualified to join in signing any petit
tion for nomination or to vote at said
primary non ination election, and no
person snail lie qualified to sign any
nominating petition of any other po-
litical party than that with which he
is registered as a member, but this
5uhl nOs DO COuSblubu W pIoNbub any
registered member of any party from
signing petition for the nomination
of any independent or non partisan
candidate, nor shall it be construed to
prevent any qualified elector from
signing petitions for more than one
candidate for the same Office on one
party ticket "
While all electors are at liberty to
vote as they please at the general
election it v i'll be seen that the party
lines are closely drawn in making the
nominations. To take any part in the
latter the voter must be registered
with some political organization.
The registration books we're opened
on January 2, and close for the pri-
mary election on April 10. The regis
tration books open again on April %,
and close for the general election on
May Is, at p. m. The last day for
filing petitions for county offices is
April 4.
