Some of the papers of this state
have the "Mormonphobia" so bad
that they publish all manner OF
falsehoods about the Mormon people
and the influence they exert In Idaho
politics. But about the rankest
falsehnod that we have yet seen APP
peared In the Salmon CITY Recorder
last week. 1t declared "that Nor
mon appointees collect rs per cent
Of the money that Is appropriated
for the expenses of the various de-
partments of government" 1t does
not seem possible that person of
sound mind would make such a
statement, but it was published in
the effort to make some verdant
creature believe that the republican
party of Idaho is under the control
of the Mormon church to such an
extent that the state officials are
compelled to give big share of the
appointiye offices TO members of
that church. While we haven't alb
solutely correct information on this
point, we feel safe in saying that less
than % per cent of the money APP
propriated for running the various
departments is drawn by Mormons.
Out of the eight principal officers
appointed by the governor, the total
annual salaries of winch amount to
5 300, only one-the state game
warden is a Mormon and his salary
is 81, 500. Among the clerks and
employees IN the state house there
are not more than two Mormons, if
there are that many, while on the
boards of the various state institu-
tlons the Mormons are decidedly in
the minority, and besides the mem
bers of the boards are only paid
their actual expenses incurred in at
tending the board meetings. When
democratic paper resorts TO such
silly falsehoods as the above, it is
conclusive evidence that it is darned
hard up for campaign thunder.

Last fall when the county com
missioners appropriated $3.50 for the
Paris Franklin road, the Post slob
bered all over itself In praising the
commissioners, but when they set
aside $500 for repairing a road over
which there is ten times more travel
than there ever will be over the
Paris-Franklin road, the Post says
that a great mistake was made. But
as the editor of the Post is the only
person in the county who Is so mar
row minded as to kick about the
Star Valley road appropriation, we
guess the commissioners will not
lose any sleep over their mistake. .

If we remember rightly, during
the last campaign Chairman Jack
son Of the democratic state central
committee, displayed a banner IN
front of the headquarters at Boise
which bore these words: 1--WE are

course, was intended as slap at
Gooding, who is sheep man. In
the event that Stockslager is the
democratic candidate for governor
this year, wouldn't it be proper, in
view of Judge Stockslager's de-

for the democratic chairman to
change that banner to read some

The New State
of fOklahona

Bigger than Missouri; as big as Ohio and
Indiana combined, with a soil teeming With
all the crops that any State raises,
OkLAHOMA-the new State-is destined
to occupy first rank in a few short years.
Here at the present time over million
people are duplicating the life which is
going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their
houses, their towns and their schools are
newer but in nothing else do their sur
roundings differ from those in our States.
Their cities and towns are growing and ex-
panding with the impetus of a fertile soil,
and a pushing, wide-awake citizenship.
Her settlers, mainly from the older States,
see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of
every kind and the needfulness of getting
more and better facilities; of getting more
hands to develop the country.
In brief, conditions today are simply
these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing
save people. More men are needed in the
cities and towns; more farmers for the vast
areas of unimproved land not now Welding
crops of which it is capable, There are
openings of all sorts, for farmers and
artisans, for mills and manufacturing
plants, for small stores of all kinds.

Our large cities grow larger at a
tremendous rate. The rural and semi
rural communities are steadily
drained of their population to feed
the towns. Census bureau figures
show that during the past five years
d out of 105 counties in Kansas show
loss in population. In Iowa all but
% of the SO counties of the state
have now fewer inhabitants than they
contained in 1900. Some of this de-
crease in both states is, however, due
to emigration to Canada. In Pennsyl-
vania the growth of cities has been

TIES SCARCE IN WEST CANADA.
This Is Due to the Rapid Construction
Of New Lines.

The rapid construction of new line
OF railway in the west, and me large
amount of repair work, wi ich mus
constantly be done, has necessitatet
the use of vast quantities of railway
ties during the present summer, ant
the fear has been expressed that there
might soon be a shortage in this es
sential OF railroad building, says the
Winnipeg Free Press.
The nature of the demand for rail
way ties is strikingly instanced in the
gradual disappearance of the vast
piles of ties, accumulated during the
previous year, by the Canadian Pacific
railway at Vermilion on the main line
east between the city and Port Ar
thur.
At the beginning of the year hun
dreds of thousands of ties were stored
in the pits at Vermilion awaiting the
time when they would be needed in
connection with the development of
the various lines in the central west
At the present time of all these ties,
very few remain, and it has become
necessary to turn to other sources for
the large number required. Fortu-
nately there is no lack of ties of the
quality required and the work OF con-
struction and improvement goes on
uninterruptedly.
At the present time the dividing
line for the supply of railway ties is
at Moose Jaw. The ties needed on all
lines east of that point come from the
territory between Rat Portage and
Fort William. The ties for the terri
tory west of Moose Jaw come chiefly
from the Crows Nest branch, the
points of supply being chiefly between
Elko and Kootenay. Next year it is
hoped that the ties for the Edmonton
branch may be secured at Red Deer,
the material being RATED down the
river 10 that point from the noun
tains. At the present time all ties
used on the branch, including those
used On the Lacombe and Westaski-
win extension, must be brought all
the way from the mills on the Crows |
Nest branch, part of the haul being |
through the mountains, where the |
cost of transportation is excessive. In |
ad ditiOn to the mills between Elko |
and kootenay Landing, there are 9TH |
ars in the far west, where ties in large |
numbers are produced, notably the |
Mills Of the Columbia River Lumber
company, which at Golden, sometimes
as many as 100000 in a
'ingle season.
The ties needed for the railway of
|ancouver island are of course pro-
luced on the island, and those of the
Prince Albert branch are manufac-
ured at Prince Albert.
The price Of good ties has risen
teadily during the past 20 years and
5 still rising. The price is now so per
ent. higher in the eastern portion Of ;
IeStern lines than in the western por- .
