Troians Had to Serve.

Among the good and true citizens
who were summoned to appear in Mos
row Monday to serve as jurors during
tbe session of the federal court were
Oscar Larson and Gus Johnson, two of
Trov's busy business men. The lob
nays the magnificent sum of So per
day but neither of the gentlemen were
looking for two dollar job and board
themselves and besides they were from
tbe busiest and biggest little town on
earth and didn't see how they could
be away from their business. So they
concluded that they would explain
matters to Judge Beatty and get off.
Gus tried first. Approaching the
iudge he said: Your Honor, 1 am
from Troy and as you may have heard,
the busiest town in the state Of Idaho.
Things are rushing and unless you let
me hike back home things will go all
to smash. I am too busy to stay here
and help you deal out justice" The
Judge looked Mr.. Johnson over and
with a twinkle in his eye said that he
was glad to hear that Troy was a busy
town and more pleased to know that
Mr.. Johnson was a busy man, fact
which made him take great liking to
Mr.. Johnson, for of all men the very
best jurors are the busy kind. And
with this explanation Judge Beatty
pointed towards the jury box and with
aslight motion of his hand gave Gus
understand that he expected him to
stand pat" Then Mr.. Larson, look
ing just as sick as he could make him
self feel, (and really he was under the
weather. took his turn and explained
that he too was very busy man and
was also from Troy. But the judge
was firm. An honest looking man like
Mr.. Larson was just what the court
was looking for and he seemed pleased
at the idea OF getting two busy men as
jurors. So he said: We'll, Mr.. Lar
son, you just make yourself comforta-
bic around the jury room and the
court will see that you get all the
medical aid your case requires. And
Mr.. Larson was still in Moscow as the
News went to press.

Even at ten tons per acre the price

RooseveIt's independence.

In selecting Oscar S. Straus, Jew
Of New York, for secretary Of COM
merce and labor President Roosevelt
has established two precedents. He
gives three cabinet positions to single
state, something that never happened
before, and he invites into the cabinet
a man of a race that has not been
honored in like manner by any prev
ious president.
But President Roosevelt, as has been
demonstrated many times, cares moth
ing whatever for precedent. In max
ing appointments he utterly disregards
geography and race question. Other
presidents have considered these two
things in filling important Offices, but
not so with Mr.. Roosevelt. His aim
has always been to pick good men,
and when he finds them he appoints
them, regardless Of where they come
from or what nationality their ancestors
might have been. 1t is enoughif they
themselves are good American citizens
and are qualified to fill the chosen
Offices. .-Rathdrum Tribune.

with a true thankfulness President
Roosevelt says: q,
"Yet another year Of widespread
wellbeing has passed. Never before

other nation, has a people enjoyed
more abounding material prosperity

Profit In Prunes.

There is good profit in prunes
when anything like fair crop can be
Produced, but like all other fruits the
one essential for profit is a yield. f.
NJ Green, who has just finished the
seasons run with his Troy drier, says
that this year he paid $40 per ton for
green prunes, thirty-fve tons OF which
we're handled by the local drier. When
asked if there was money in 'prune
raising he said: There is when fair
yield is harvested, and the producer
ought to get from ten to twenty tons
per acre. But the trouble here is that
the people got the idea that the land
in the Potlatch would go on producing
twenty or more tons Of prunes every
year to the end of time and the truth
is unless the orchard is fed up and the
soil fertilized the trees reach a certain
maximum and then go down hill TIL
they yield practically nothing 90
much of drain are prunes on SOIL
that where the trees are pulled out the
land seems dead and will produce lit

Dehorn the Calves.

The Arizona Stockman says: De-
horning calves is such a simple op-
Grafton that it is difficult to explain
why it is ever postponed until the
calves are fully grown and the neces-
sity arises for saving themof. To de-
horn, secure a pencil Of caustic potash
at drug store. When the calf is
three or four days old locate the little
knot which indicates the young horn,
wet it and rub it with the pencil, held
in a gloved hand. That is all there is
to the operation. 1t constitutes but a
few minutes work and causes no pain
to the animal." "

Election of Senators.

For wears there has been a popular
demand for election of senators in Con-
sress by direct vote of the people. There
have been petitions from the people,
there have been demands" in political
platforms, and there have been resolu-
tions from legislative bodies. 1t remains
for the Ohio Legislature TO take action
that looks like real business.
A resolution has passed the Senate and
gone to the House making formal de-
mand for Constitutional Convention to
amend the Constitution in this particular.
The Constitution provides in article V
that the Congress, whenever two-thirds
of both houses shall deem it necessary,
shall propose amendments to this Con-
stitution, or, on the application of the
Legislatures of two-thirds of the several
States, shall call a convention for pro-
posing amendments, which. In either case
shall be valid to all intents and
purposes, as part of this Constitution,
when ratified by the Legislature of three
fourths OF the several States, or by con-
ventions in thrce-fouruhs thereof, as the
one or the other mode of ratification may
be proposed by the Congress.

Publicity.

Tho coal operators of Pennsylvania
have learned one important lesson since
the strike three years ago. At that time
they were very reticent. They never had
anything for publication when the re-
porters were around and left the news
paper men to get their information as
best they could. The representatives OF
the strikers were very much more SEN
sible and did not hesitate to give out
news form their headquarters as often
as the reporters called. 1t Is now an
nounccd that the anthracite coal opera
tors have arranged to supply the press
with all possible Information. TO that
end n man has been designated with
headquarters in New York. to answer all
inquiries concerning the situation and to
supply the press with all matter that It
is possible to give out.
This Is day OF publicity and the press
is the means OF communication. When
ever any public or quasi-pubic organiza-
ton tries to conceal from the people
that which the people think they have
the right to know, the people grow sus-
picious and are apt to Imagine the worst.
1t is always best for corporations to he
frank and open in all their dealings, and
SO long MS they behave themselves, they
need have no fear In taking the public
into their confidence.
