RESULT NOT SATISFACTORY.

President Roosevelt will have no occasion to congratulate congress on the work of the session which will end March 4, as he did for the work of the session which ended June 90 last.
 That session, he said then, had been productive of more substantial work for goodP than any session with in his memory.
 The record of popular legislation at this session is meager. It includes only the La Follette-Esch bill, limit ing the hours of continuous labor of railway employees.
 The list of popular measures which will fail of passage is long The ex- cuse of the house and senate is that this has been short session, and time has been lacking for more legis- lation than the passage of appropria- tion bills. Despite this, the senate found time to talk about the Browns vile incident for nearly a month.
 Although he has made the subject the text of a special message to con gress, President Roosevelt has been unable to obtain any legislation for the conservation of the public coal and oil lands.
 He withdrew from entry last sum mer nearly 40,O00,000 acres of lands known to contain coal. To prevent the acquisition. by one means or an- other, of all this by the Standard Oil company, or the various coal combi- nations, he recommended legislation authorizing him to lease such lands under a royalty system.
 The house committee on public lands has reported timid bill with a leasing provision, but the majority of the senate is frankly against it, and no action need be expected, unless the president can bring greater influence to bear in the week remaining than he has thus far.
 The bill excluding from transporta. ton in interstate commerce the pro ducts of child labor has been de. clared unconstitutional by the house committee on judiciary and prospect of its passage killed.
 The immigration bill has been passed. but the popular support which it received was counteracted by a heavy popular opposition. Had it not been made the medium of settlement of the Japanese incl dent it would have died in deadlocE between the house and the senate
 Despite the fact that SecertarJ Taft has told the senate repeatedly that the bill reducing the tariff or Philippine products is absolutely necessary for the prosperity of the islands, the senate committee on Phil ippiGe matters has failed even to re port the bill and give the senate . chance to vote on it.
 Secretary Taft has received some solace from the prospect of passage of a bill authorizing the establish ment of an agricultural bank in tn. Philippines.
 Nothing has been done with thu eighthour bill, or the anti-injunctior bill which was le.t over from last ses sion.

WOULD MAKE A GEAR
 OF GOVERNOR KI6BEY.


 If the Arizona legislature will give our governor the unrestricted power to tax these mines, neither the mines nor the taxpaying public will suffer. The governor is a fair, just man. He vii deal with the question in a manner that will receive the un- qualified endorsement Of the whole people of Arizona His record as gov. ernor Is ample assurance for this."- Arizona Gazette.
 Nothing other than taxation with out representation" is responsible for the greatness of the United States to- day. Yet there is a newspaper in Ari- zona so plutocratic that it would take from the people of this territory their right of representation and place the power of taxation all in the hands of one man.
 For years Arizona has asked for statehood on the ground that it is without representation Our greatest argument has been that we have no representation in congress; that the privilege of saying who shall govern us is denied.
 And in the face of all this news paper that has shouted itself black in the face, claiming to be for the peo- pie, but when there was an issue be- tween the railroads and the people, taking the side of the railroads against the farmers and the mer- chants and the Iaborers, now brazenly asks the people to surrender every right and give to one man all the powers that most of us heretofore have dared to think rests with the masses.
 Those who have not forgotten all that they remembered when they went to school will recall something in ,aei- histories about the Boston tea party. On that memorable occa sion the good forefathers of Boston rebeHed against the principle of ~tax ation without representation" They rebeied against England and it's king

This freak of the brokers and
stock gamblers of New York throw
ing fits and getting into financial
Jim jams when the country is every
where prosperous, is something
quite out of the usual. Wool, corn,
wheat and meats are all command
ing good prices, and the country
was never in more prosperous
condition, at least so far as the
Western States are concerned. But
because New York is accepted to be
the financial center of the country
and our bankers deposit their funds
there to be drawn upon as required,
now when crops are being sold
money is needed to pay for and
move them, the eastern bankers
notify their country correspondents
that they are unable to ship them
currency, and discover that there
is not money enough in the country
to transact its business. What are
we to do?

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Thanksgiving, that best and
Oldest OF the customs of the early
pioneers of New England, and
which has been kept upin a spirit
OF reverend thankfulness by their
descendants, is approaching. 1t
is in spirit a festival, celebrating
the bounties of nature and the
rewards of the toll, arousing
sentiments of gratitude for the
blessings of peace and plenty
poured out upon our people and
the state, awakening the virtue
of charity and the desire to take
upon ourselves the burden of
those in need and distress, and
inclining men of good will to "a
reverent acknowledgment to the
Almighty for His favors;
Therefore, |, Frank R. Gooding,
governor OF the state Of Idaho,
do hereby designate Thursday,
November 2Sth instant,
Thanksgiving Day.
and ask that the people of the
state of Idaho honor the day.
| earnestly recommend thatin so
far as possible the people on that
day refrain from their usual vo-
cation, and in their homes and
places of worship offer acknow-
Judgement to God for'His many
blessings, and prayers for the
continuance of His divine favor.
In WITNESS WHEREOF, l have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the state to be
affixed.

A Typical Town.

Three years ago the bright Idaho
sun shone upon a tract of 100000
acres of sage brush land in a certain
part of this State, unbroken in its
vast expanse save by the path of
the jack rabbit and the coyote. AS
a place for the habitation of man it
seemed worthless to the casual OBJ
server, and even to the minds of
many who were familiar with the
boundless possibilities of irrigation
it presented an undertaking too
monumental to be considered. But
men who could not be daunted took
hold of the undertaking. They
realized to the full the difficulties
that would be encountered and the
immense capital that would he
needed, but they had faith in the
success of such an enterprise and
resolved to achieve it. A vast irri-
cation system was put under way;
a land office was established in Au-
gust, 1904, tor the disposal of lands
under the Carey Act and the recla-
nation laws, and the work of build
ing an empire was begun.
Today, as the commercial center
of that immense tract-once a desert
waste--stands a town of 5000 in
habitants. 1t has stores, brick
business buildings, an opera house,
churches and schools, all doing
their share toward the life and well
fare cf the community. 1t exports
daily twenty carloads of produce
from the prolific farms surrounding
it, and would export more if it could
get the cars. Within sight of the
town twenty-three steam threshers
work upon the golden grain, while
steam plows are kept busy prepar-
ing the rich soil for future crops.
With the growth of this town,
others have sprung up around it as
