Senator DOlliver says that If Con-
gress does not agree upon bill for the
regulation Of railroads, the country
will be called upon to face the prob
lem Of government ownership. Con
gress will not pass any rate bill that
will be satisfactory to the people.
Railroad legislation there is practical
ly controlled by the railroads. Rail
road attorneys who are incidentally
United States Senators will hardly
pass q bill that will really regulate
railroads. Government ownership is
probability, If not certainty, Of the
future. It's pity, butts true.

Strawberry Culture.

Two years is as long as strawberry
bed can be maintained with profit.
The first year of fruiting will give the
largest fruit, the second the greatest
quantity, then vigor diminishes. The
rows are too crowded to admit the
growth Of new plants, weeds multiply
and are difficult to control and for this
reason it is best to plow up the bed
Immediately after the removal of the
second crop. A new bed should be
set each year and an old one plowed up.
Following the plowing the land should
be used for one season for some other
crop or it is possible to meet good
results by sowing with some soiling
crop as soon as plowed, this to be
turned under in the fall. Many east
ern growers find greatest profit in the
practice OF taking but one crop. The
plants are set in August, fruited the
next June and then turned under, bu
here in the west with our rich soil anC
plenty of irrigating water it is better t
take two crops.-Denver Field anC

ThistIes Are Thick.

1t is certainly evident to anyone who
will look around just little that
something ought to be done at once
to prevent the thistles from fairly
taking the town. This season seems
to be favorable to the perfect growth Of
the pest, and little thought will con-
vince anyone of the necessity ol
prompt action before they go to seed.
The News would suggest that every
property owner in Troy and every
farmer in this section look after theil
own premises Immediately and not al
low them to become public nuisance
In some sections thistles haye ruined
whole districts. They can do lot o

Mistakes Don't Go.

The pos Office department has lately
promulgated a new rule applicable to
the opening of letters by mistake.
Heretofore anyone who took letter
out OF the postoffice, not belonging to
them, and opened it, had only to
write across the end Of the letter
Opened by mistake" and return it to
the postmaster. But from now on
this don't go. The postoffice depart
ment has ruled that mail must be
looked over before taken from the
postoffice, and that any letter placed
in your box by mistake must be
returned before leaving the Office
under a penalty of 5000 for failure tc
do so. 1t will be we'll for everyone
to scrutinize all mail carefully. A
mistake that will cost you 5000 i:
pretty expensive, and one that few
people can afford to make. .-Rathdrun

Wanted To Trade.

Here is a sample of the satisfactory
results" some people get when they
send their cash to one of the Chicago
mail order houses for merchandise. A
few days ago farmer of this section
walked into Oscar Larsons store here
in Troy and with little show of en-
barrassment drew from under his arm a
package containing par OF about the
bummest looking shoes one ever saw.
He explained that he had bought them
from a Chicago mail order house but
that they didn't fit, and as it would
cost him a good deal to return them
and with no assurance that the next
pair would fit any better, would like to
exchange them for pair out of Mr..
Larson's stock. 1t also developed
that he was not exactly satisfied with
the quality, for in truth it was evident
he had been properly skinned. Mr..
Larson could not see where he was
under obligation to exchange, for the
Chicago catalogue house split leather
parody on shoes something from hi:
stock that would fit and wear, and the
gentleman retired with the idea that i
doesn't always pay to buy even shoes
insight and unseen. The farmer may
have purchased shoe cheap" but hi
certainly didn't get much for hi
money. Sometime things are to-
cheap.

New Court House.

We are informed by Commissioner
Lamb that some of the citizens Of
Moscow have asked the board to sub
nit to the people at the coming
election the proposition of bonding
Latah county for SIS, 100000 with
which to erect new court house at
Moscow. And this in the face OF the
fact that taxes are now unbearably high.
1t is proposed to saddle a monstrous
big debt upon the people before the
taxpayers have been able to pay off the
twenty thousand dollars of bonded
debt with which the present county
.coult house was built. Wiih'the pro-
posed bono issue they would make the
total something like one tertl OF a
million dollars and erect handsome
structure that would entail burden
for years and years to come. And why
at this TIME when this same town and
her citizens are paying tax OF such
Herculean proportions that the burden
is almost unbearable? Why not wait
until we have paid. for the house we
now have? 1t looks like someone was
getting scared at the possibility o.
losing the county seat and think g
good way to cinch the matter would be
new building though it bankrupt the
county, and send every taxpayer to the
poor house.
The reople of this section car
thank themselves that they have a
least one man on the county board who
will never vote for the proposition
Ed. Lamb will not favor the increasing
of the tax upon foot of the farmers
soil at this time, and if the matter goe
through. it will be over his protest. I
lot of people even in Moscow will b.
with him.

THOMAS j, " I, LAWSON p GOlD0Ep,
He'd oRered to GIVE Testimony In
on Inquiry, But When Called

Boston, Jan. 10,--In reply to Q tele-
gram from Attorney General Hadley
asking him to give any information
in his possession regarding the rela-
lions between the Standard OIL COM
pany Of Indiana and two other oil
producing corporations, Thomas W,
Lawson, of this city, Tuesday night
sent a lengthy telegram to Mr.. Had
lty. Mr.. Lawson informs the attor-
ney general that he personally knew
nothing Of the relations between the
Standard Oil company Of Indiana, the
Republic OIL company and the Wat
ers-Pierce company, and that while he
was aware Of certain acts Of the STAN
dard on monopoly" he could not
fairly come within the wise restric-
lions" of Mr.. Hadley's telegram.

edge Of the subject matter of your in-
vestigation to make 1t appear farcical

rne wisconsin senator's reply ended
what threatened to be dangerous
colloquy and the debate on the general
proposition was resumed.
Spectators were excluded from the
senate at 1870 p. m. upon motion of
Senator Lodge, who objected. to Sen
ator Bacon making a speech on his
resolution in open session.
In speaking in favor Of the public
discussion, Senator Bacon said that
the public should know what is pro-
posed by the conference in Spain and
whether the action of the president
in naming delegates to participate
would involve the United States in a
contract to carry out the decision Of
the conference. He pointed out that
the interests of France and Germany
in Moroccan affairs are vital and &C.
ton in favor of either of these coun-
tries would be offensive to the other
and that the United States by partic-
ipating would incur the enmity of the
aggrieved country.
Senators Spooner and Lodge took
the position that the. action Of the
president in appointing delegates
would not bind this government in
any manner for the reason that any
contractual relation with a foreign
government can be made binding on
ly by treaty ratified by the senate

PUBLIC NOT TO KNOW
Resolution Regarding Appointment
Of Moroccan Delegates Discussed.
HELD FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Fear Was Expressed That Partici-
patton I'm AlgecIras Conference
May Result in International
Complication.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The propriety
of discussing in open senate resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Bacon call
ing upon the president for an account
of his appointment Of delegates to a
proposed conference on Moroccan af-
fairs, to be held by European powers
at Algeciras, Spain, was considered for
four hours Tuesday and then by strict
party vote 1t was decided that the
resolution should be executive bust
ness. Senator Bacon in supporting his
resolution contended for public SEES
sion and Senator Spooner declared
that the adoption Of the resolution
would be an encroachment by the sem
ate upon the constitutional rights of
the president and virtually would
charge him, in manner amounting
almost to insult with ignorance of
his duties as chief magistrate.
offense was taken, by Senator Bacon
to the remarks of Senator Spooner,
the former declaring emphatically that
he did not purpose to be charged with
insulting the president. Mr.. Spooner
said that he did not mean to imply
that 1t would be an insult to introduce
the resolution but that 1t would be an
affront to the president to adopt a
measure which questioned the execu-
tive on a matter in which he was well
within his own rights. Insisting that
he could not see the distinction, Sena-
tor Bacon said that 1t would amount
to an insult for the senate to adopt
the resolution, it would be just as
much so for him to offer it.

is your conclusion and you insist upon
