THE NEW CHINESE 4RMY.

pr. Morrison, the well-known corre- spondent of the London Times, went to see the recent manoeuvres of the mod
 ernized Chinese army in the neighbor- hood of Chang -te-fu. He describes them as repetition of the performance
 of last year-a set-piece carefully pre- pared long beforehand by a number of Japanese adyisers-with this exception.
 however, that last year only Chilli and Shan-tung troops were engaged, where as this year there were also troops from Hu-pei and Ho-nan; but the numbers were the same as they were last year. The general opinion formed by the mil itary attaches was not, he says. unfa- vorable, though many years work with out official jobbery will be needed before the troops can compare with those of more advanced nations. The inefficien- cy of the officers is still conspicuous, and the field training of the men inade- auate, but the material is good. There was little confusion, discipline was sat isfactory, and the men showed im- proved military bearing. Incidents oc- cured, however, which in war would be disastrous. Once there were tive contending forces blazing at each other while standing in close formation at sixty yards distance. The relations of the troops with the country people were excellent. Proclamations had been is- sued assuring the peasants that noth- ing would be taken without payment, and that no one would be molested,

THE ArrAcK oS Sr4GABA FAILS.

THE ATTACK ON NTIGARA FALLS.
 All who are interested in Niagara Falls will be interested in the hearing which is to take place before Secretary Taft on November 20, at Washington to decide as to what quantities of elec- trical power, generated from the waters of Niagara river, shall be admitted in- to the United States from Canada The Burton bill provides that not exceeding 16O,00O horsepower may be admitted, within the discretion of the secretary of war, and that he may within six months also issue permits for the ad- mission of additional power from Can- ada to an extent which, in connection with that produced on the Canadian side, will not exceed 8 total of 350,0O0 horsepower. It is also expressly pro- vided that these figures are not to be construed as a direction to admit the power, but merely as limitations. The secretary controls it all, under the law, and can shut 1t all out.
 The American Civic Association, which has been pressing the fight against diversion of water from the falls, points out that it will pay to keep the Falls unspoiled Tourists who visit the Falls now pay about $16000,0O0 a year, The Association says further: Central Park, in New York city, is worth at present real estate figures $225, 100000. The total capitalization Gncluding both water and money) of the Niagara power enterprises is said to be about $4OOOO,OOO, If New York city alone can afford Central Park for health and pleasure, cannot the whole wealthy United States afford to hold Niagara Falls for glory, health and in- vestment?

AN INTERVIEWING FORECAST.

The Washington correspondents are busy with the Presidents message and as they often get a very correct idea of it before it is made public their pre- dictions are worth attention. The cor respondent of the New York Journal of Commerce makes this forecast: A system of progressive taxation upon large inheritances. Government super vision by license or otherwise of all corporations besides railroads engaged in interstate business. Federal leglsla- ton to correct and reduce evils of di- vorce. Publicity of campaign expenses and inhibition against corporation con- tributions. Greater protection of rail road passengers and employees by adop- tion of block system and restriction of hours for employees. Exclusion of unde- sirable European immigration. A more elastic currency system to prevent monetary stringency. Lastly, revision of the tariff will not be recommended.
 This is all interesting and perhaps important. Especially the statement that revision of the tariff will not be recommended. We shall soon know all about it.

In the Revue de Paris M. Raymond Reconly tells the following: After the visit of Nicholas to France the Partisan press deemed it proper to make pres ent to the Czar They had an aquarelle painted by Detaille and sent the mag nifieently framed picture to St, Peters burg to be delivered to the Emperor Three months elapsed, and the com mittee of the Parisian press received no answer. The committee began to won- der Had the present reached its des- tination? Frenchmen living in the Rus sian capital were asked to make in- quiries, and finally they learned that the Czar had actually received the aquarelle; it even pleased him to such an extent as to cause him to place it in the best part of his study But why had he not answered? The astonish- ment of the Paris newspaper men in- creased, They made further inquiries, and at last found out that the picture had been sold to the Czar by some offi- cials, and at a high price. As the Czar had to pay for 1t he did not think that thanks were due to any one

Although the population of the United Kingdom increased by 2,OOO,0Oo during the last six years, there has been a de- cline of nearly 2,5oOoOO barrels in the consumption of beer. There is also a steady decline in the use of spirits. On the other hand, the 155,76771 pounds of tea imported for home consumption during the first seven months of 1906 mark an increase of 1O,OOO,OOO over the same period in 1905.

The Boston Herald says that a young woman recently applied for the position of confidential stenographer which hap pened to be vacant in State street financier's office. To test her knowledge of finance, she was interrogated, and amazed the f1nancier by defining the monetary question as some sort of a warning. IA "bull" she said was a fierce animal, or an Irishman's mis- take; a bear" was a cross person; a dividend was sum in long division. A bonus was a sort of pill. She had read about consuls-they were ancient Rom ans; Julius Caesar was one, so was Pompey. Supposed the "three per cents" must mean the Triumvirate.

A few years ago New Jersey stood first in the list of States in which cor porations were formed. Now she has fallen to third place. During the month of October, 1906, in the State of Maine the aggregate capitalization of corpor- ations organized was $66, 1000, ,OO0; in New York, $21,6OO,0OO; in New Jersey, $19,- 100000. The press of the States of New York and Maine has been active in it's efforts to bring disrespect upon New Jersey because of its corporation busi- ness, and while the newspapers were hammering New Jersey, New York and Maine were changing their corporation laws so that greater inducements would be offered to prospective corporations to come there and do business than were offered them by New Jersey

0Imstead's S Latest Excuse.

Superintendent Olmstead, of this
division of the Short Line, has one
of the most versatile mouths. al
ways unlimbered and ready for ac-
tion, employed in any semi-public
capacity in these parts. He has
a brand new excuse for the pre-
vailiDg coal shortage along the line
of his road which, of course, wipes
off the slate all of his previous
promises and makes room for more.
He is quoted in the Statesman as
follows: 81 was at Rock Springs
Friday, and found that the miners
are not getting out within 100 cars
of the amount that should be taken
out every day. There are plenty OF
cars at the mines, many more than
can be loaded, SO the trouble does
not lie with the railroads. There
is a scarcity of workmen at the
mines. The sum and substance o.
the famine is that the country ha:
outgrown the coal mines and the,
cannot furnish sufficient suppl,
to meet the demands. -

Little Snow in the Mountains.

Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Kirby reached
here yesterday from the Monarch
mine, Atlanta district, the former
going to Boise and the latter to Salt
Lake, where their two daughters
are at school. Mr.. Kirby says that
there is no more snow on the
summit than there is here in town,
but that what little there is melts
in the day and freezes at night,
covering the road with a sheet of
ice and making unusually bad haul
ing. Two wagon loads of the cleo
trio machinery, including the dyna-
mo, left here Tuesday for the mine,
and only one more remains here for
shipment. The power plant will
be installed this winter; but no at
tempt will be made to ship in the
mill until next season.

He says it will require six months

will not move from Mountain Home
until next spring or summer. He
is not offering for sale his real es-
tate holdings here.

Sagebrush for Fuel.

Yesterday passed without the ar
rival of more coal for Boise, and
there is no telling when any more
will reach here, but the absence OF
further shipments since Monday is
not felt SO keenly as with the real
cold weather of last week, the Sit
uation being relieved some by the
warm spell of the last two days.
The scarcity of coal and wood has
caused at least one coal firm in
Boise to seek other sources OF fuel
supply, and this firm, the Boise
Commission company, is out
strong in the market for sagebrush.
They are offering SO per cord for
sagebrush properly trimmed, which
makes good fuel. Sagebrush car
be secured within eight or ter
miles of Boise and this firm il
making every effort to get in sup
ply. Statesman.

IRRIGATION PROJECT
FOR BRUNEAU VALLEY
Eleven leans and Twenty Odd Men Leave
Here Monday to Extend the
Harris Ditch.

]. H. Garrett and others, whose
names have not yet appeared in
the deal, have bought the Harris
ditch, which takes water from the
Bruneau river. This ditch is now
about eight miles in length and will
be extended fifteen miles further,
winding through the foothills,
watering the most fertile valleys
in the state-which means on the
globe.
When completed this system
will irrigate fully 5000 acres. The
land is about 600 feet lower than 1t
is here at Mountain Home and the
temperature throughout the year
averages fourteen degrees higher.
At present, for instance, there is
no snow there, the weather is mild
and out door work can be prose-
cuted with comfort. This being the
scverest cold spell known here in
over twenty years, Il can be readily
seen that that section of country
has a different CLIMATE from this
and our climate is a drawing card
itself. 1t is a fact, however, tina

Twin Falls Canal Finished.

The Twin Falls Land & Water
company has notified the State
Land board and the state engineer
that il has completed its southern
side canal and the irrigation system
under it and now requests the ac-
ceptance of the same. The state
engineer has been requested by
the company to approve the work
and report thereon to the land
board. The question has not yet
come before the land board and as
the contract between the company
and the state contains several con-
ditions which must be fulfilled be-
fore the canal system is transferred
to the land owners some time is
likely to elapse before final action
is taken. Undel- no circumstances
will the State Lano board take
hasty action. Governor Gooding,
in the address which he delivered
in T win Falls a short time priol
to the election, stated he woulc
have the entire system carefully
examined by an engineer of nationa
repute before the transfer wa
J made. Twin Falls News.

The applicant recommended by
the republican county committee
will, without doubt, receive the
appointment.
This is a presidential office;
which, of course, means that the
postmaster is appointed by the
president. II pays a salary of
$500 year, $500 is allowed for
clerk hire and $50 a year for office
rent. These sums are augmented
somewhat by the income from box
rent. The bond required is $40, 900,
and Mr.. Turner says that a surity
company bond will not be accepted.
He has held the position for eight
years and could doubtless continue
to hold it as long as the republican
party is in power. He has made &
good postmaster and patrons of the
office regret to have him leave. Hi:
reason for resigning is that his pri'
vatc business affairs need his atten
lion. He expects to devote consid
cradle time to his farming opera
!; tions, intending to open up hi
ranch on the Snake OH an exten

Historic Cabin Used for Fuel.

A Wardner dispatch says: That
the fuel famine has reached an acute
stage is evidenced when E. Bolger,
proprietor of the Spokane hotel, set
men at work to tear down the old
est landmark in Wardner, the first
cabin ever erected in Milo gulch,
Immediately after the discovery OF
the famous Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van mine. The logs will be cut
up and used for fuel at the hotel.
The cabin was built in the fall of
1885 by Jack Smith, John King and
John Flaherty, all among the very
first of the prospectors to reach
this field. The house was used for
dwelling for nearly 20 years and
as a wood house of late. The logs
are well preserved, hard and dry,
and will make excellent firewood.
Many interesting stories are con-
nected with the gatherings held II
the old cabin in the early days anC
many men now prominent in min
ing circles and others long Sine
dead congregated there during thu
winter days of the first great rusl
to the new galena belt of the Coeu
d'Alenes. The cabin was built
short distance down the gulch fror
the discovery point of the Bunke
Hill mine. Mi. Bolger has owne

careful of it because of the pas

Change in Idaho Commercial Go.

]. P. Clay's health continues un-
improved and on the advice of his
physician has decided to leave
Mountain Home and seek lower
altitude. He will settle somewhere
on the coast. Being president of
the Idaho Commercial company,
his enforced absence has rel Tered
a change in that business neces-
ssry. He is the only stockholder
OF the company who understands
the drygoods and clothing depart
ments, and while discussing the
subject of his departure with his
associates, one of them suggested
that if he would remsin until hs
could dispose of the stock of these
goods now on hand, that would
solve the problem. This he con-
sented to do and the big sale is
now on. The room now occupied
by drygoods and clothing will be
used for hardware and imple-
ments, giving more much needed
room for groceries. Mr.. Clay:
will look over the coast country
thoroughly before deciding where t'
locate and will retain his interes
in the Idaho Commercial company.

company to bill small car to this
point for him. Harry states that
the trouble at present lies with
the railroad company, insufficient
cars being furnished. The coal
company has men and teams enough
to operate the Kemmerer mine at
the rate of 1900 tons per day, but
on account of the car shortage is
getting out only 1900 tons day.
Harry watched the working OF the
mine for a short time, and noted
that "a tons of coal were taken from
the tunnel every seven minutes dur
ing the working period. AS to the
situation at Diamondville, he could
say nothing, not having visited that
place and having no business con-
nection with the coal company
there.

Feeding Sheep This Early.

There was a considerable snow
fall in the country eastward from
Glenn's Ferry last week, and many
of the sheepmen have begun to feed.
If the SHOWS do not soon pass off it
will become necessary for all to
feed. This early feeding has led to
apprehension that the flocks taken
into the Hagerman valley for the
winter will not all find feed. 1t is
said there is not more than hall
enough hay there to meet the de-
mands which would be made upon
the supply during long feeding
season.
