MINERS NEEDED
IN GOLDFIELD
Settlement of the Trouble Finds
the Camp Short of Ex-
perienced Men.

Goldfeld, New, April 22.-As result
of the settlement effected last evening
between the mine owners and the min
ers. the mines were thrown open at 9
o'clock this afternoon and the lockout
of the past seven weeks came to an
end.
Immediately after the peace protocol
was signed last night, operators began
to send messengers throughout the
camp calling their former employees to
work, and today there was scurryins
everywhere to find a full complement
for the mines.
At o'clock today scores of men SUR
rounded every shafthouse. and all the
mines that could find workmen enough
started with full force.
Short of Miners.
During the strike hundreds of miners
left for outside camps to prospect or
find temporary work and the district
is short by 500 miners. but these min
ers, together with others, are expected
into the camp as soon as the settle
ment becomes generally known.
Some of the mines, because of the Pc
culiar conditions, Will not put on full
forces for several days. They will have
to pump water or clear up workings
that have caved in, but none of the
mines have suffered seriously during
the interim

A TITHE
TO ZION
The Tru6 Reason for
Threat OF Veto
A RESORT TO THE SHNDBAG
Effort to Save Mormon Control
at All Hazard
A RESORT TO THE SHNDBHG

The Wallace Times, one of the ablest
papers that comes to our exchange ia
bles, has the following comment on the
action of Governor Gooding in threat
ening to veto an act plainly upholding
the constitution:
The Mormon delegates in the state
legislature experienced two widely diff
ferent sensations Thursday. When
Gooding's astounding message on the
test oath was first read before the house
their joy knew no bounds. But when
the reaction set in and the independent
Republicans drew forth their sandbags
and began to polish their clubs to fight
fire with fire, fear and CONSERVATION
seized the hosts from Zion
Gooding's message, timed as it was
and in its character is one of the most
astonishing documents that has ever
gone before legislature in this state.
The veto power is given the governor
to be used and Gooding has the same
right to use that power as other gov
ernors have had. The prime object of
the veto is to kill unjust legislative
measures, such measures as may be
passed hastily and vital defects over
looked in both houses, or such meas
ures as may have been forced through
the legislature by coercion or other TN
just means and which would be a real
detriment to the state.
The veto was never intended to be
used as a club or a sandbag.
It was not created to assist a political
machine in paying its political debts.
This is the use Governor Gooding is
now making of his veto power
Every one in Idaho should know why
the governor took such uncalled for ac-
ton. 1t was because he owes his cleo
ton to the Mormon church. The Nor
mons by their own folly lost control
of the lower house. Gooding has
thrown his veto into the halls of the
legislature to counteract the detection
from the machine ranks He is thus
paying the debt he owes to the church
of the Latter Day Saints
Gooding has a right to his opinions,
just as any governor, or any private
citizen has. But he has no right, because
he has the veto power, to force his
views upon the people of the state
against their wishes
There are times when a governor
should consider carefully before using
his veto power, even though he should
have honest convictions that the meas
ure under consideration was bad He
should consider the fact that the meas
ure has been passed by majority of
the legislature. He should consider
that men, equal to himself in mental
ability, have passed upon the measure
and found it good one. He should
that his opinion is only that
of one individual while the expression
of the legislature represents the COM
bined efforts of many men.
At any rate the veto power is TO be
used after the measure is passed and
action in this instance is un-
called for and even ridiculous.
He has sworn to uphold the constitu-
ton of the state Yet when the legis-
lature prepares a bill placing on the stat
ute books the exact words of the con-
5titution Gooding wields his veto threat.
He resorts to sandbag methods, because
he must protect the Mormon church, by
the grace of which organization he is
governor Of Idaho.

THE STOCK MARKET


 New York. Aug. 21.--operations on the stock exchange today were the smallest in a fortnight while the market movement was narrow with heavy undertone. The recent speeches of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft were again the topic of general discussion, but there was a disposi- ton to regard them as matters of secondary importance. Some leading financial inter ests expressed the belief that the speeches would have the effect of restoring confi- dence while others took decidedly contra ry view. Conditions abroad the local money stringency and the failure of two commer- cial houses one of them an old established grocery firm, were among the days adverse influences.
 talk recently to the extreme probability of an epidemic of commercial and industrial depression. This gossip Is based largely on the information received. The most hopeful feature of the day was the news from Pfttsburg and other industrial centers that some of the railroads had renewed con fidence in improvement work after period of protraced retrenchment.
 The days business was wholly profess sional and limited to the speculative favor ties, with Union Pacific, the leader.
 Trading during the late session dwindled to the most nominal proportions, with fre- quent periods of utter stagnation. The final hour developed no change in the sit uation. The closing was heavy. Time money was again very scarce, nominal quo tations showing an advance for ninety days transactions were really subject to individ- ual negotiations.
 Railroad bonds were heavy with no change in governments on call. Total sales par value $S, 800. 900.

The advance was attended by large increase in the volume of business, numerous buying orders pouring into the pit from outside traders.

 New Orleans. Aug. 21--There were re- ports of light scattered rains in Texas ana Arkansas to heavy in points in Louisiana Mississippi and Georgia over night, but as the rainfall in Texas was insignificant and as the State. especially the southern hall has been without moisture of any conse- quence from four to eight weeks. and hav- ing been under the rays of the most intense sun heat for longer period than for years. it seems to have at last dawned on the trad CTS that there was something in the un- favorable crop accounts coming in from Texas during the past three weeks especial ly when the summary of the situation is summed up in this fashion by the core spondent of The Galveston News. located at San Antonio: ''The last week of continued hot, dry weather. has played havoc with late cotton in this section of the State cutting the prospective yield at least one- half short. The early cotton will make a very fair crop, but the late planted will not make over one-eighth of bale to the acre. if that. Indications are that the crop Tn this section will be much less than expect ed4 The small yield here would indicats that there is going to be very smoll crop in the state"
 It requires alternating rains during the months of July and August to make large crop in Texas, but such has not been the case this year, so far, attention having been called to the approximate rainfall for the state during the past eleven weeks compar- ed with the rainfall for the same period since 1903, the total according to official records averaging 4.21 this year, against g 95 last year, 9.3s year before last; STA in 1904; Il. 25 in 1908. Probably the most interesting feature in relation to the prob able size of the Texas crop this year is located In the smallness of the movement of new cotton at Houston, Texas, to date. receipts thus far 1Oss6 against 4si265 to even date one year ago
 The significance We attach to the small ness of receipts of new cotton is that they figure only about one-fifth of what they were last year, notwithstanding the fact that a most severe drought which usually forces cotton to an early maturity. This is an extraordinary situation. and we cannot account for the light receipts under the circumstances. except by arriving at the conclusion that the yield, even in the form erIy most favored section, the Southwestern portion of the state, Is proving to be dis appointingly light.
 A general rain over the Southwest at this time could hardly repair the damage done and 1t now looks as though disaster i' threatened unless frost in the northern DOT tion of the Western belt be late in putting in it's appearance.
