Increase In Land Values.

Increases in the value of farm
land of the United States from 1900
to 1905 are discussed in a report
just published by the department of
agriculture. From it these general
conclusions are drawn: Cheap land
is exhausted. The urban population
is fast gaining and will continne 10
gain on the rural. Values 10 farm
lands have increased IN the last five
years as never before. but the ,n-
crease will be still faster in the flu
ture because of the exhaustion II
cheap lands. The values of farm
products are assured of remaining
high and remunerative hereafter.
and farming will be better paying
as the years pasa by. Going back
over period of fifteen years il is
shown that there has been a greater
increase in average values of i've
stock products than of grain prod
ucts.
These conditions are drawn from
the tabulated statistics which repre-
sent careful study of conditions In
all states. In 1900 the average land
values throughout the country was
$2l.s0 per acre. In 1908 II had in
creased to s2e.ll, progress that
can be described as no lese than a
marvel. An especially significant
tact is that farm values increased IN
every state in the union. The old
abandonded farms of New England,
New Jersey and New York are get
ting their values back. These in.
creases are highly significant when
it is considered that farming has
been on the decline and many farms
in several states have been abandon.

Dubois Is the Issue.

Ex-Governor Mcconnell, who was
kicking over the traces about a
year ago, Is back in line and work
ing for the success of the republican
ticket. He was in Salt Lake a few
days ago and in an interview with
q Republican reporter he said:
81 see that Fred Dubois is read
ing Smoot case testimony to the
Idaho democrats as material. But
he isn't gaming anything by 1t, and
he isn't reading my testimony. i
was q witness before the senate
committee on privileges and elec-
tions and / asked the chairman to
allow me to testify in the language
of an Idaho statesman, which he did.
| read from speech of this Idaho
statesman and orator, and said it
contained my views on the Mormon
question. The words wers from
the mouth Of Fred 7. Dubois, the
man who is now assailing the Nor
mons in Idaho and trying to make
religion political issue. He isn't
quoting my testimony.
eff the Idaho republicans will
follow Fred Dubois through the
present campaign with utterances
he has made in the past few years
they will drive him from political
power forever. He continually con-
tradicts himself. He is weaker now
than he ever was, and will not make
the bugaboo stick in Idaho. INTEL
hgent Gentiles of both parties do
not recognize as political issue
the fight against the Mormon church.
"The republicans will carry Idaho
in walk. Dubois is the issue
there. Dubois, personally, cares
nothing for the state ticket, SO long
as he can capture the legislature.
He would sacratice any man on the
state ticket to win a majority OF
the Legislature. HIS is a selfish
fight, conducted solely in the inter.
terests of Fred Dubois and no one
else."

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS.
Bell Company to Cable Wires on
Main Street VIII Extend
Rural System.

The Rocky Mountain Bell Tele
phone company has inaugorated inn
provements in the system here that
will represent an expenditure of
about IS. 900. The most important
work will be the placing of all the
wires on Main street In cable.
The wires will be cabled from the
depot to the central Office; from the
office east to Ritter Bros old COR
ner and a block north and a block
south from that corner. The pres
ent poles will be replaced with new
ones, which will be painted black
to the height of eight feet and the
balance white. 1t will require about
seven weeks to complete this work.
The company will also string an
additional wire to Georgetown IN
order to accommodate the increased
rural business In that section, there
being ten or more parties ready to
take phones as soon as the line ID
strung.
A rural circuit viii also be estab.
lished to Liberty, about dozen OF
the farmers IN that vicinity having
agreed to become patrons.
The placing of the wires in q
cable in town will add wonderfully
to the appearance of Main stree,
and also prevent any possibility oi
trouble with the wires during elec.
trical storms.

the existence of polygamy or any
other crimes of like character, and
that through that party all the laws
on the statute book against crimes
of this character had been placed
there. He stated that the laws of
Idaho were ample to punish all Of
tenders. Senator Hepburn also
took up the Steunenherg case, and
announced that he was glad to take
the position of endorsing the pres
ent state administration in its efforts
to uphold the law and punish crime.
Senator Heybu had an enor.
nous audiences, and was heard
throughout with the closest atten-
ton, the telling points in his speech
being greeted with prolonged ap.
plause. Hundreds of perso ms who
were present were loud in their ex.
pressions of admiration of the
speaker, and earnest in protestation
of complete agreement with the
speaker in his summing up of the
political situation.
Governor Gooding will begin his
campaign at Salmon on the evening
of September "a, and will continue
from then on until election day. He
expects to spend about two and a
half weeks in the north, and will
speak in many of the more impor-
tant cities in the southern part Of
the state. Governor Gooding, al
though making no claim of oratory,
proved in the 1904 campaign, that
he was singuIarly effective on the
stump. The directness of his state
ments, his evident sincerity, his
manifest desire for the best interests
of the state, it's institutions and its
people, and the tremendous loyalty
of the man TO his state and country,
win TO him the golden opinions OF
those who hear and meet HIM.
Coupled with this he has record
of two years of almost marvellous
achievement in state affairs Every
thing he has attempted has been
profitable to the state. He has
everywhere been its most effective
advertiser. 1t is not wonderful
that throughout Boise, are posted
offers by the speculatively inclined
to wager two to one on bis election,
nor that those who are close stu.
dents of political affairs are insistent
on their claim that his majority
this year will be much larger than
it was IN 1904, despite this is what
is termed an off year.

At the annual dinner Of the Confederate
Veteran Camp of New York, at the Waldorf
Astoria last week, the audience broke into
unrestrained cheering" when F. Hopkinson
Smith, the Southern novelist, speaking on
cold Plantation Days." said, ''Let us teach
these (Afro-Americans) to be our friends;
never our equals" You wouldn It think that
lot of intelligent people, mostly Southern
ers, would shrek themselves blue in the face,
with the strains of ''Dixie' percolating
through it all, over an absurd sentiment like
that, but they did Outside of the family
relation friendship is the very highest tie
that binds people together, and it cannot
subsist except between equals. For our part,
F. Hopkinson Smith and his sort can teach
us nothing but hatred and contempt of him
and his sort. The white Southerner in New
York and Chicago makes himself nuisance
and a bore by Haunting always in the face
of others his narrow prejudices Of race,
which stamp him as an unconscious vulgar

JOHN RIPLINGER,
Who Seeks the Mayoralty Nomination.

After considerable casting about for a.
mayoralty candidate, the Republicans have
finally decided to name John Riplinger, who
. has been twice elected city comptroller, each
time leading his ticket, as their standard
bearer against the candidacy of William
Hickman Moore, the Fusion candidate. That
he has always been the choice of great ma
jority of the Republicans for the mayoralty
nomination is well known fact though
he himself was averse to entering the fight,
feeling that he was we'll satisfied with the po-
sition of comptroller. When the other aspi-
rants for the mayoralty nomination saw that
they were unable to arouse sufficient enthus-
asm in their mayoralty candidacy to warrant
them to remain in the race, they themselves
began to cast about for candidate, and
after much thought and consideration de-
cided that John Riplinger was the man that
could lead his party to success, and they
therefore, in a body, went to him and de-
manded that he accept the nomination, which
he did with reluctancy. Aught, as public
servant, cannot be said against John Rip
linger. 1t can be said without any fear what
ever of being contradicted, that no man ever
elected to public office has given more gen
eral satisfaction than John Riplinger Never
in the history of the comptroller's Office was
the comptroller admired by all classes of
citizens as is Mr. Riplinger today, and if
present popularity is in any way indicative
of the public pulse, he will be elected on the
9th of March by the biggest majority ever
given to mayoralty candidate in Seattle
Some one has intimated that Riplinger is

highly probable that Piper would be the
great mogul Of the administration There is
not the slightest bit of doubt but that when
Mr.. Riplinger will have been nominated and
elected mayor of this city, he will endeavor
to carry out the Ballinger policy. He would
do this, even if he did not wholly believe in
it (but he does), because great majority Of
the voters seem to favor it, and the popular
politician is so because he always keeps his
ear to the ground to cater to the wishes of
majority of the voters when he is in office
Riplinger is no fool, and even those who op-
pose him will not deny this, which is suf-
icient evidence that he will so shape his ad-
ministration that he will be able to continue
the peoples popular candidate for whatever
office he may aspire to hold
The charge of the Times that Riplinger has
slate for the various offices already made
out is just as false as anything else the Times
has ever printed, and that is saying good
deal Now that he has been persuaded to
enter the fight for the mayoralty nomination,
he is making his fight for that nomination
and that nomination alone and is not inter-
esting himself in anybody else's affairs
There is also no more truth in the charge of
the Times that the p Il. will bolt the Repub-
lican nominees than Of the other innumerable
prevarications that it has from time to time
published about Republican politics and pol
iticians. The big Republican daily will sup

reason than to be able to gather up a few
