The fax crop Of the three states will
run anywhere from $20,000,000 to $780,
largely on farm prices, which in turn
are dependent to some extent upon pro-
duction elsewhere in the United States,
as also upon competition from Argen-
tine and other, foreign producing coun-
tries.
3 The northwest rarely produces enough
to affect prices, however heavy the
yields may run, for there is increasing
demand every year from the Minneapo-
lis linseed oil mills and eastern crush
ers. If the new seed can produce on an
ordinary seed, there is opportunity for
the farmers to increase their returns,
and add substantially So an acre to the
farm value of land devoted to the rails

EVOLVES NEW FLAX TYPE

ABLE PLANT.

Following the recent production Of
new wheat type by the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station at st. Anthony Park,
comes the announcement today of an
other achievement scarcely less import
ant, the breeding of a faxseed type,
highly intensified, to be known as Min
nesota No. rs.
For fourteen years, or since 1891, ths
station has been experimenting with
this type of primost fax, selected from
number of varieties received at that
time from the department Of agricul
ture. The work has been conducted
along the lines of greater seed produc-
ton, this being the commercial feature
of today, altho fax fiber is becoming
Of more Importance every year, and
other experiments directed toward the
production of fber-bearing plant are
being carried on.
The results show that the new seed,
Minnesota No. %, will produce, under
like conditions, an average yield 26 per
cent greater than common varieties.
This ratio of increase, applied to the
average production of the northwest
for a period of years, would mean about
| 3.4 bushels more per acre. I .
The value of any work that will IN
crease the production of fax must nee
essarily be great, and will make posi-

of farm products every year. Three

A year ago state game warden
w. N. Stevens came to Blackfoot
and said we were entitled to an
appointment for some young man
who desired a clerkshlp, and said
he was looking for a man to take
charge Of his Office. The name
Of Harry Dietrich was offered,
and he was given the position.
A few days ago a committee
man from BlAckfoot asked the
game warden about Dietrich's
work, and received this reply:
"Why he is alright. He is not
afraid to work, and if there is
extra work to do he buckles right
in aud does it. Sometimes / am
away for two or three weeks aud
he has to answer great many
letters, which he does ably. When

A Great Showing.

Out of 236 Fraternal Beneici-
ary societies as recorded by the
Frateruial Monitor, in point of
number of increase in mem bership
for the season of 1905 the Nation
al Protective Legion stands only
second to the Modern Woodmen
of America.
In point of percent of increase
the Modern WQodmen only made
an increase of Z per cent while the
National Protective Legion made
an increase of Al per cent. Fol-
lowing this we find that during
the months of January and Feb
ruary of 1906 the N. P. L. made
a larger increase in numbers than
they did in any three months COM
bined during 1905.
The NJ. w. A. will have to
wake up or they will not wear the
laurels for 1906. During the
month of February the N. P. L.
paid out in dividend checks alone
$174, 332. o5 or nearly $50, ,Ooo.oo
more than they did in any month
during 1905.
The Plackfoot Legion will de-
liver to Walter Scotford the first
of April $5oO.oO and to Horace
Doud $175.00.
The N. P. L. evidently has the
plan that suits the American peo-
pie.

Fred GIessingi. Suicides.

Fred L. Glessing aged Is years
hung himself in the basement of
his brothers. home at Blackfoot at
an early hour Thursday morning.
No cause is known for this rash
act, and it is likely to remain
yelled in mystery.
Deceased was resident of
Illinois until a few weeks ago
when he went to Seattle, from
which place he came here. He
was staying temporarily with his
brother Alfred Glessing, manager
Of the telephone exchange.
Fred was a fine looking fellow,
bright, we'll educated and young
man of good address. He was
out to party Wednesday night,
and seemed to enjoy the evening.
His BROTHER went home from the
office at midnight and noticed that
Fred was in bed. At eight in the
morning they found a lighted
lamp burning on the cellar steps
and Fred's body susdended from
beam, still warm. A box on
which he had stood to arrange the
rope was tipped over where ne
had used it,
Coroner Kinnaird held an in
quest and the jury empanneled to
sit upon the case returned the
verdict that he had met death at
his own hand by hanging himself
by the neck.
The remains were shipped to
Ell Paso, Illinois for burial.

ldaho's Latest Fad.

| dicted that at some time in the
future Idaho would awake from
her Iethargy and make remark
able advancement in material de-
velopment. The advertising she
has received at the great eXposi-
tons during the past decade, and
the publicity gi on to her resources
by literature and personal effort
have turned a tide of inquiry to
the state. Some important moves
have been made recently to further
this work by means of commercial
clubs, and the organization las,
Thursday Of the Federatieh-ef
Commercial Clubs at Weiser.
Every town of any size or grit has
a commercial cluD organizing its
citizens for united work, and peo-
pie who visit other western states
usually come back with new ideas
of the Importance of boosting. A
commercial club could do many
things TO save losses on the pres
ent trade, could get more trade
for their towns and secure better
markets for produce. The ad-
vantages OF such body are too
numerous to mention, and cannot
be fully appreciated until the
work begins and results are OBJ
tanned. One of the important
matters for such body to take
up this season will be the work
connected with the irrigation con.
gress, and Blackfoot should have
some organization if only to
handle that matter. The writer
is often asked why we do not
have a commercial club here, and
has never been able to answer
the question, but in order to take
the measure of the sentiment OF
business men on this subject an.
to be able to answer the question
correctly. the Republican will in
terview the principal business
men of the town next week and
ask each one to state whether he
favors organizing such q club for
business, not pleasure, and wheth-
er he would be an active member
if it we're done. A detailed re-
port of the statement of citizens
so far as they can be found and
induced to express themselves on
the subject, will be an authentic
answer to the question, "Have
YOU a commercial club, and if not
why notg"
Two local men were discussin g
this matter recently, and one OF
them said, "We have too many
self satisfied men here. They are
not willing to do anything, but
