JACOBSON TELLS
OF IDAHO LIFE
Former Kennare Resident Gives Interesting
Information Of the Empire Beyond the
Rockies Snake River for
Electrical Purposes.

soled shoes, and without oyercoat, you
will naturally think that the blizzard
which you can distinctly see on the
mountain, and what seems to be only
about four or five miles away, will soon
reach you. Never fear. The mountain
will hold it, until the cloud is emptied
out. You see the ladies with their
sweet faced babies in carriages, they do
not hurry at all, and besides your optical
nerve is deceiving you, the mountain is
twenty to thirty miles away.
Each country has its advantages, and
draw backs. The question is only which
has the most. We would be poor citi
zens if we did not feel pride in our state
and home locality, but we would be
worse than fools if we would not give
credit and admiration to other people
and their home surroundings where We
are convinced that such credit is de-
served. This is the second winter We
have spent February months here, and
l must admit that with two or three
days exception in which it has rained,
the weather has been most pleasant,
and as to the people, they are true
types OF the western, openhearted, cour-
teous and hospitable in highest sense.
Any person who stays among this class
Of people will soon find that the small
shriyeled up minds of the wouldbe-
something individuals are fully absent.
One thing has struck me as much Pc
culiar. This town is not in prohibi-
ton state. The saloons are running
open, and no thirsty soul need to 60 in
the cave or through the back-door to
get drink. The town Is to great ex-
tent patronized by herders, miners and
ranchmen, and still have not heard
any indecent language on the streets
less street brawl, all the time have
been here.
The great Snake river with its mighty
water falls, will in near future be
utilized for electrical power, and the
wonder is why it has been left so long
No human mind can grasp the posi-
bilities to the fullest extent to what
this great and magnificent power Of
nature will do when harnessed by the
ingenious brain. Henry jacobson

The many friends in this part
of the state, who esteem Henry
jacobson, a former prominent
kenmare resident most highly,
will be interested in Il letter
which the Independent received
from him recently:
Mountain Home, Idaho.
TO the independent:
Before left Minot promised to give
a Tow lines about this country when
arrived. We left Minot Sunday morn
.iuR. January 18th. Weather was Tor
Moth Dakota fine, and we almost thot
that We would not dnd it any better out
here, tho our object in leaving was to
enjoy Z milder climate. But We were
not disappointed. In the eastern part OF
tho Snake River Valley We found very
pleasant weather but, on account OF its
high altitude, some snow and clear
frosty, though. But further vest, where
the altitude is lower, We so9p tot tae
sun throwing its warm rays through the
car windows, and the snow disappeared.
The gray color Of the sage brush country
would rive traveller the blues ii 1t was
not for the beautiful towns along the
railroad; the broad open verandas on
houses; the windows without storm sash,
and the doors often ajar In day time, the
rich rh foliage covering the sides of the
houses and porches soon convinced US
that we we're not in North Dakota. The
men mostly without overcoat and the
ladies in their light and becoming walk
in1 suits assembled at the depots also
plainly told US that the climate was
most agreeable.
The eastern people have an entirely
wrong idea Of the climate IN norm "a "a
kota, but the same can be said about the
climate in this great empire west OF the
Rockies. While you can travel four
hundred miles over the broad prairie
states without any noticeable change IN
climate, you need hardly change your
location here more than ten to twenty
miles to change climate entirely.

But of course they all know Minnie

SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF
Taking for His Text the Statement
That he is Being Described as
Conservative, Eebrask2n Declares
That Radical measures Against
Private Monopolies Are Necessary
TO Save Legitimate Wealth From
Odium.

,,Trondhjem, Norway, By Cable
William j. Bryan has arrived here
to attend the coronation of King Haa-
kon. Mr.. Bryan, taking for his text
the statement that he was being de-
scribed as conservative, said:
- am not responsible Cor the
phrases used IN regard to me; but
| am responsible for my position on
public questions. That position
ought to be we'll known. Take the
trust question for instance, as it
seems uppermost just now. Ny po-
sitlon is, that private monopoly is in
defensible and intolerable. That
was the Democratic platform in 1900
and the plank was incorporated in
1904 and it is the only tenable posi-
ton.
"Thcre is some talk Of controll-
ing the trusts-you might as well talk
Of controlling burglary. We do not
say men shall not steal a little bit,
or i'll some particular way, but that
they shall not steal at all. 1t is so
OF private monopolles. 1t Is not suf-
ficient to control or regulate them
shey must be absolutely and totally
destroyed. Corporations should be
controlled and regulated, but private
monopolies must be exterminated
root and branch. Now you can call
that a radical doctrine. Yet it Is
more conservative to apply this rem
edy now than to wait until predato-
ry wealth has by its lawlessness
brought odium on legitimate accumu-
lations.
"What used to be called radical
is now called conservative because
people have been investigating. The
doctrine has not changed but public
sentiment is making progress
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spend a
week in Norway and will then go to
England.

HAIL THREE FEET DEEP.
Terriffice Storm Sweeps Over Por-
tion of Orange County, Causing
Thousands of Dollars Worth of
Damage to Crops.

Durham, Special.-From parties
who were III the city today particu
lars OF a hail storm that did great
damage In the northern part OF Or
ange county Tuesday night were
learned. The loss was something
fearful, large planters losing every
thing. The hail belt was from three
quarters to amile in width. The
storm did not last more than l5 or
20 minutes. In that length Of time
thousands Of dollars wortL of prop
erty was destroyed. In some
Places" said Nr. S. 7. Pittard, who
lost his entire crop Of tobacco, oats,
cotton and corn, ''the ice was piled
three feet deep yesterday morning
This was IN bitches, or places where
1t was rifted.'' Continuing, he said
that yesterday morning one of his
neighbors gathered guano sack full
of the hail stones and carried them
to Hillsboro, q distance of IL miles.
"When he reached Hillsboro,' said
my informant, ''the stones were as
large as guinea eggs. This gives you
some idea Of the size of the stones
when they fell, these being gathered
after lying Oh the ground all night. -
Telling of some of the losers, MIR.
Pittard said that he lost his entire
crop of tobacco, 10000 hills; all his
corn, oats and cotton. Fate Cooper
lost from $4,000 to 10000 hills of
tobacco, Joe Hurst from $4,000 to
G0,000 hills, Rufus Wilkins $4,000
hills. John Saterfeld, D. L. Wells,
William Ellison, Will Wright, Chas.
Wilson, Mrs. Anderson and numbers
of others lost practically their entire
crop. All of these p:rties lost corn,
cotton and oats, in addition to the
large loss on the tobacco crop.
The first hail belt was II miles
north Of Hillsboro, near Carr's post
office. Here the belt was little more
than a half mile wide. At Caldwell,
distance of nine or ten miles, the
loss was fearful. The average width
of the belt was probably from three
quarters to one mile. The storm
went intowards the western part Of
Person county.
One year ago this same section was
visited by fearful hail storm ana
wind storm and the damage occasion
ed to the tobacco crop was fearful.
This year some of those who lost
year ago are again losers, but in
most instances the storm belt was
little removed from the old belt
and the losers this year las a rule.
are those who escaped the destruc-
tive storm year ago.
Mr.. Pittard said that he did not
know what the farmers in this belt
would do. The oat crop is not worth
cutting and the corn is left stand
ing IN many instances without a
single blade left on the stalks.
