Big Business Deal.

A beal of considerable magnitude
was consumated this week. where
by the Ballantyne Brothers came
into possession of the hardware,
implement and grocery department
of the Ballantyne. Dee Mercantile
Co., and Messrs. S. w. Dee and
James Kelleher purchased the
clothing store from the same firm.
The Ballantyne. Dee Mercantile Co.
was organized about two years ago
and was composed of Messrs. A.
Ballantyne. Sam Ballantyne and
S. W. Dee. The new hardware
firm is composed of Messrs. A..
Sam and ]. H. Ballantyne and will
continue the business. They are
three enterprising, energetic and
capable young men. We bespeak
great success for the company.
The clothing store will be manag-
ed by Mr.. James Kelleher, as Mr..
Dee has become manager of the
Boise branch of the Idaho Imple-
ment Co. Mr.. Kelleher has lived
in Caldwell a number of years.
He enjoys an enviable reputation
for energy. integrity and ability.
Mr., Dee has long been prominently
connected with the business affairs
of this city. He is highly respect
ed here and the Idaho Implement
Co. is to be congratulated upon
getting such capable man to
handle its Boise house. Mr.. Dee
will not move his family to Boise

An Outrage Hard to Explain.

could associate with other men on
reasonably good footing, eat at the

years the purpose to prepetrate
such horror as that at Caldwell,
Idaho, Saturday night.
In 1899, six years ago, there was
strike of miners in the Occur d.
Alene region Idaho, during which
the conflict between the men and
the authorities became very bitter.
The men were aggressive and what
appear to have been unjusti6ed out
RACES were perpetrated by both
sides. Now, after six years, the
man who was governor at that time,
and who. as such, led the forces of
authority, is blown to pieces for his
part in it. The excessive folly of
the act, the unwarrant, the fact that
no end is served whatever, makes
madness on the part of the perpet-
rator the only reasonable explana.

in their struggle and probably LID,
are the real sufferers on the other
side. The man killed, so far as
this life is concerned, simply knew
nothing about the incident, did not |

to begin with. In the United States
there is no excuse for such things. |

Debate-Weiser VS.. CALDWELL.


The debat between the Weiser
High school team and a team from
the College of Idaho, of Caldwell,
will take place Friday evening
March 20, at Caldwell. 1t is hoped
that a large number of Weiser
citizens will accompany them and
give encouragement by their pres
ence. An effort will be made to
secure reduced rates from the o. S.
L. railroad for the occasion.
The Weiser team is composed of
George Luck, Jack Wheeler and
James Harris. The boys have
studied the question thoroughly,
and are going in to win. Weiser
has the negative of the question
which is:
Resolved, That immigration
laws should further be restricted by
an illiteracy test."-Weiser World.

The Pure Food Bill.

We agree with the Occur d.
Alene Press when it says that Sen.
ator Heyburn's pure food bill is the
most important measure to come
before the present congress. This
is broad statement, but it is true
No other legislation, continues that
paper. SO directly affects the health
and happiness, as we'll as the fu-
ture of the individual. The rapaci-
ty OF trusts and keen competition.
combined with the ravenous desire
to make money, has caused manu-
features to practice all kinds of
fraud on the people, the most com.
mon of which is the adulteration of
food products. Under present con-
ditions an individual will, in an
average lifetime, have swallowed
enough poison and indigestable
substances to kill thousand per-
sons if divided among them. A
great many of the ills we suffer may
be traced to adulterated foods put
up by men who are morally, if not
legally, guilty of committing a seri-
Gus crime. Senator Heyburn's
bill ought to become law and its
provisions are none too strict.
Every manufacturer who sells foods
under a fictitious name ought to be
sent to the penitetentiary because he
IS menace to the public.-Pocatello

CHANGES AGAINST RAILROADS.
President Directs Inquiry Into Complaints
OF Failure TO Furnish Cars.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-At the instance
of the President the Interstate Commerce
Commission is conducting an investigation
Of many mplaints that have reached
him that railroads engaged in interstate
fail TO fur nish a sufficient num-
her Of cars to accommodate traffic in their
territories. The complaints have in many
cases had special reference to lack a facili-
ties for shipping live stock in the Western
States.
The preliminary Investigation has al
ready been completed and a partial re-
mort has been made 70 the President, but
Mr.. Roosevelt wishes TO go more deeply
into the subject and he has directed Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Clements
10 pursue the investigation.
Nearly all the trunk lines OF the West
have been overtaxed with traffic, especially
during the last wear, and since the cam
paign in favor Of railroad rate regulation
was begun complaints from every part
Of the West have come TO the Presl de Mt
that the railroads are not providing cars
enough for long distance shipments and es-
peciallv for cattle and sheep. II has been
urged in ~extenuation that the railroads
have had more business than they could
handle at certain seasons, and some of
the trunk lines. even in the transcontinental
area, have begun To double track their
roads.
The Presidents int rest was especially
enlisted, however. by the statement that
some Of the railroads are refusing long
distance shipments in favor Of traffic on
which freight rates are higher and there
fore moro profitable.
