Murders and outrages. including the

natives are growing holder, and the re-
suit is that the government will be

Work of Last Congress.

"The Fifty-ninth congress had pro-
digious amount of work put before 1t,
and 1t accomplished more in the way
of legislation than it's predecessors in
many years. I believe-and it is my
opinion that the great majority of the
people believe with me-that that work
was necessary and was well done. But
we are not going to secure perfection
i'm legislation and administration in a
day. Law is not alone in the letter; it
is the spirit of the people. In many
So called republics there is the shadow
of constitutional authority without the
substance of either constitution or law.
by amendment and otherwise the
Fifty-ninth congress enacted much of
new legislation, which Is to be tried
and tested. Supplemental legislation
may be necessary, but 1t should be en-
acted in the spirit of justice and not
of retaliation or revenge We are to
exercise power with care that it be
not for the mere exhibition of strength
without the restraint of caution against
injustice.
Enormous Appropriations
Including the permanent appropria-
tons. the last session of congress ap-
propriated more than s900,00 900 for
the present fiscal year-a startling
amount in the abstract-but owing to
our enormous production and business
activity expenditures have kept within
the income of the government without
creating new sources of revenue. This
great appropriation brought upon us
the criticism that 1t was a 'billion-doi-
lar session. and yet the demands made
upon the Fifty-ninth congress for ap-

preparations aggregated many million
dollars more, and, If granted, would
have carried us beyond the revenues
brought into the treasury under exist
ing law.
in providing for the public service
during the Sixtieth congress. we should
bear in mind that the development of
the country, marvellous as IT is. IS
still in it's infancy. The future will
witness a development and growth
more wonderful than the past has
seen, and from time to time, through
the decades, other congresses as pa
triotic as the one about to assemble,
will care for the demands of the gov
eminent as they are presented.
I'm my judgement, it is not wise 20
increase the revenues of the govern
ment; neither is it necessary or ad-
visable to transfer burdens from the
local and state treasures to the fed
eral treasury-to foster a centralizing
power and responsibility. which of ne
cessity develops quite fast enough.
Against Capitalization.
I'VE had more than $4,000 bills before
the house in the last congress. If we
have as many IN the Sixtieth congress
1t will, of course, be impossible to do
more than select from this great mass
necessary and wise. We have been ad-
monished by events that it is not time
for extravaganza or excursions into
the realm of experiment in legislation.
1t is my personal judgment that we
should hold fast the principles laid
down by our fathers, that the federal
government is one of limited powers
but supreme where IT has Jurisdiction
and that we should leave to the peo-
pie of the states the jurisdiction not
granted to the federal government,
and also leave upon them the respon-
sibility and burden of taxation for the
same.
we hear much of the power of the
people above and beyond parties, but
responsibility for error is neveU divid-
ed. You have for the third time hon
ored me with the nomination as speak
er. / accept this as a duty as we'll as
an hoDoT-a duty to the membership
of The house and to the. country in or
ganizinG this body for effective work.
1 shall assume this office. not as a
personal privilege, but as a grave re-
spOnsibility, well knowing that you
and the country will rightly place that
responsibility upon my shoulders. /
hope to discharge the duty devolving
upon me generally to your satisfac-
ton, though no man is given the wis
dom of recognizing the full ability of
each member of this body: and even if
it were IL is only i'm the great commit
tee of the whole house that all can
find work fitting to their energies and
capabilities"

BIG LOST RIVER
SCHEME CERTAIN
Will Spend Two Millions to
Reclaim $1,000 Acres
In Custer
(Boise statesman.)

A bond for 100000 was filed yes
terday with the state land board by
the Big Lost River Land and Irriga-
ton Company as guarantee for the
reclamation with the next FIVE years
of $4,000 acres Of Carey act land in
Custer county.
This bond, which is unusually large
The Payette Bench company, 1t IS
understood, filed bond for only one
tenth that sum, for the reclamation OF
about the same amount Of land

new irrigation projects that are maxi

that the contract is made. the COM
pany can go 10 work in dead earnest
to reclaim the land and get II ready
to put on the market.
Project Covers Two Tracts.
The project, which is to cover two
tracts of land of $4,000 acres and 55,-
600 acres respectively along the Big
Lost river, in custer county, has been
very little advertised, for all its mag
nitude. 1t viii cost between $1,000. 900
and 100000 in all.

above Mackey containing 10000 acre
feet OF water, and the other at Powelrs
station, 80 miles lower down, contain

per dam will be 100 feet high and Is
estimated to cost $390,0o0.
Both reservoirs, while receiving the
fiow of the river. are alss~ supplied
from magnificent springs, the Thou

| Indeed, the water in the two reser-

for one year without any fiow from
either river or springs.
Work is to be begun at once to get

water. It is thought that water will
be secured for par of this 55.000-acre
tract ready for opening this season.
and that the company viii be able to

The discussion has aroused general

was that a number OF clever Ameri-
can performers took the names OF for,

pleased both the public and the mana

American Performers Most Daring.
Norris & Rowe claim they havs
played all the sensational European
acrobats, and finally came to the CON
clusion that for daring and originality
the American performers took the
palm. For instance. Norris & Rowe
have two acts this season that dis.
count any troupe Of acrobats ever
brought from Germany. where it is ac-
knowledged the best athletes OF Eu-
rope come from. They are the famous

acrobats accomplish a series OF grace

Logan, Iowa, July 81, 1907.
The w. T. Rawleigh Medical
Co, Freeport, III. Dear Sirs:
We gladly give our testimony
in regard to the value of your
imperial Stock Food and Noun
tain Herb Liniment for treat
ing sick hogs and pigs. We
have a herd Of about $50 head
of hogs and pigs. In April,
1907, they were not doing very
we'll, in fact some had died and
others did not eat good. One
large brood SOW had refused to
eat for two or three days. She
was so poor and weak she could
scarcely walk. We thought
she would die, but when she
was the worst your salesman
came to our place and induced
US to try some of your stock
food and liniment which we
commenced using at once and
were happily surprised to see a
big improvement in three or
four days. 1t is now about
three months since we started
to use your stock food. Our
hogs are all doing fine, growing
very fast. We purchased 100
lbs. at first and today we gave
| your salesman an order for 500
lbs. more and expect to use it
right along as we think it far
the best stock food we ever
tried and think it pays 10 feed
it as a preventative of diseases
of the hog and also think it
makes the hogs grow faster so
1.-THE hogs will be ready for mar
ket sooner. We cheerfully re-
commend your valuable medi-
cine to our neighbors and
friends. Yours truly,
Mr.. and Mrs Dell GrosvenoY.

Yesterday afternoon the "of-
fetal baseball team" of Harri-
son county, attempted the TAX
ing of a fall out of the Mo.
Valley business men. Did they
do it? Nay! Nay! Pauline.
They are real nice bunch of
boys, else how could they be
Harrison county officials? But
the hustling, busting business
men of this, the magic city by
the Boyer, were altogether to
strenuous for the SNUG poll
ticians from Logan. Like all
good politicians they are long
on the grand stand and heap
with the much front, so they
decorated with perfectly lovely
gray uniforms, trimmed with
red sox, caps, star and stripes
etcetera, but their big front
failed to quake the hearts of
the mighty business men of
Mo. Valley. The business mt n
of the Valley are proof against
big fronts and grand appear
ances. Just think of the sue
cesses won in the little two by
tours that are on Erie street.
But the game.
Logan took the swat
stick and started for a million
scores but lacked two bases of
getting the start. This is the
first inning, sabe.) Then up
came the busy, business boys
and true to their training, got
right down to work. ARA

inning and before he got back
to earth, nine, nice, ripping,
rifles had been creased in the.

credit. | want to say right
here. if the court house bunch
are guilty of such errors in
their books, as crept into their
work in the first inning, there
is crying need of expert audit
ing in Logan. But they are
not. Books and baseball are
four million miles apart. Sec
oad inning, nothing doing
Third inning, nothing doing.
Fourth inning, Kellogg made a
two Dagger. If it hadn't hit a
|hlystack, it would have been a.
home run. No score fifth in
ming. Nothing doing sixth in
1 lining. Same story seventh in
ming. Logan scored once.
Didn't wake up in time to learn.
how it happened. Eighth in
ming, Mo. Valley scored. 1t
had gone to sleep again.
Ninth inning, game finished
Awful glad, | wanted to get to
the tent, as Mr.. Miles had UNI
Numbered and was making the
talk of his life.
After the first inning, the of
ficials settled down and did
some good work. Arrasmith
i pitched good ball and held the
B. M. safe. Pipher was there
with the goods all the time and
made no mistakes. Kellogg at
first base, Harvey in left field
and Brown at second base were
there and over. Lahman,
Amen and Mclaughlin were in
the game stronger than
mothers butter, while Schafer,
Deur and Pipher maintained
their reps, as ball tossers par
excellence.
We will be glad to see the
politicians any time and will dc
our best to lick them. 1t is a

Fridays Chautauqua

we'll attended by the ladies as
Miss Hazard gave another of
her interesting demonstrations.
This has been one of the very
pleasant features of the as
sembly and the management
has the hearty thanks of the
ladies for bringing Miss Haz-
zard here. AS usual the after
noon session began with a band
concert, followed by a concert
by the Jackson Jubilee Singers,
who rendered several excellent
numbers and were heartily APP
plauded. The lecture by Rob-
ert Parker Miles was we'll re-
ceived and a fair sized crowd
was in attendance. His subject,
Sparks was handled in a
mastery way and his points
were we'll made. He spoke of
the characters in the slums of
New York, making clear the
fact that there is good In
everybody, along with the bad.
Mr.. Miles has served in the ca
pacity of a newspaper man in.
New York and hes a chance to
observe personally the people
of that city and showed them
from the rich to the very poor
est.
The largest crowd for some
time was present at the assem-
bly, last evening. The people
went out early and by the time
the first number began, the
concert by the band, the seats
We're pretty we'll filled up. The
Jackson Jubilee Singers then
entertained the audience for
over a half hour, and they GER
tainly made good. They put
life into their singing and put
the audience in high good hui
NOR. From the comments
heard Ly those present last
evening we believe they are
without amy superiors on tie
chautauqua platform with re-
gard to the rendering of negro
melodies.
Frank r. Robertson presented
his illustrated lecture on Nor
way and held the crowd
breathless for an hour and a
half. Before beginning the
lecture Manager Maus had a
few remarks to make about the
chautauqua, which were we'll
timed. He stated that the as
sembly was not held for the
purpose of financial gain and
that the stockholders would not
be allowed to declare a divi-
dend even though the business
would make it possible, hut
they were bound by the articles
OF incorporation to make up all
deficiencies; and gave all those
wishing to do so an invitation
to join with them and lecome
a stakeholder if they were un-
der the impression that it was
a good thing" Pledges were
then passed through the audi
ence for all those to sign who
would take season tickets fol
next year, stating that all those
signing now would receive
their season tickets next yeal
for $500 apiece. Many people
signed these pledges and many
m IRE will be turned in no doub
at a late date, thus showing
that the citizens of this toWr
recognize the value Of the chau
tauqua and wish to perpetuate
it.
Mr.. Robertson spoke in a clea
voice and his pictures wer'
ideal. He took the audienc,
with him from valleys to noun
tain peaks and delighted then
with his stories of the habit
and customs of the people o
that good old country. Mr.
Robertson will entertain hi
hearers tonight on Russia,
