POCATELLO WANTS
BIC CONVENTION
GATE CITY GOES AFTER
LIVESTOCK CONGRESS
PocatellO Tribune Says the Sage
Brush Fiesta Town Can Handle a
National Convention of the Stock
men-Strong Effort TO Land the
Big Plum Next Year.

That Pocatello aspires to be the
meeting place of the next national
livestock convention Is shown by the
following from the Pocatello Tribune,
which says
Pocatelo will make fight for Sc
lection as the meeting place of the
National WoolgrDwers' association in
1909. Already a plan of campaign
has been outlined by those interest
ed, and the Commercial club will
take the matter up.
About 1900. delegates attended the
last convention at Salt Lake, and full
lyf that number Is expected at the
convention to be held at Helena next
month. It is believed that adequate
accommodations for the hordes Of
delegates can be secured in the Gate
City. The McNichos & Wright hall
is large enough to hold the cOnven-
ttlon In, and IL Is hoped that in ad-
dition to the accommodation possible
in the various hotels all citizens will
throw their homes open for the oc-
,casion and welcome the delegates
with free hearts.
II is conservatively estimated that
the national woolgrowers leave from
$4,000 to $4,000 in a convention
town. Delegates attend from Eu.
rope, Australia, South America and
Canada. Most of them are accom-
panied by their wives. All are veal
thy men and during conventions they
spend money freely.
The Idaho Woolgrowers assocla-
tion will meet in Pocatello on jan
uary 10 and II. President Stock
slayer has so notified Richard Doug
las of this city, one of the executive
officers. The latter has already be-
gun planning for reception and en-
tertainment OF the Gem state sheep
men. About $50 delegates are ex-
pected to attend the Gate City meet
ing. Most OF them will go on to
Helena TO attend the national con-
vention, which will open January IA.
The Idahoans will go prepared to
bring the next national convention to
this state, and every possible effort
will be made in behalf of Pocatello.
Boise wants the convention, OF
course. but It is believed that when
the delegates to the state convention
are shown that Pocatello can handle
a national gathering and provide am
pie accommodations, united dele
cation will go TO Helena prepared to

PhxnlcaI YnIuntIon.

MT. Bryan Is most insistent in dis cussing rate regulation that the pres ent physical value of all roads in the country should be ascertained for the purpose of fixing rates by allowing to the railroad companies only a fair profit on such valuation.
 Whenever the interstate commerce commission deems it important as an aid in fixing rates to determine what 1t would cost now to rebuild any rail- road, 1t has complete power to do so; but 1t would doubtless be found in respect to most of them that in spite of over capitalization and lack of economy in construction, land for terminals and right of way and the cost of construction, have increased so enormously that the total of their se- curities upon which they pay divi- dends and interest is not much if any In excess of present physical value. More than this, physical valuation, as the President pointed out in his In- ,dianapolis speech. and as the Supreme Court had in effect said before him, Is only one of a number of data to be considered in reaching what is a fair profit upon the investment; and in de- termining a particular rate, the prop CT relation between that rate and the total net profit of operation is so com piicated with an infinite variety of other eircumstanees that 1t is most diff ficult in rate fixing to use the latter to affect the former.
 The importance of fixing rates, com plained of as too great in and of them selves, is much exaggerated; for the overwhelming evidence is that, on the whole, rates in this country, especial ly as compared with those Of all Eu- ropean railroads, many of which are owned and operated by the government are low. The chief evil consists in unjust discrimination in rates between individuals and localities. I do not object to valuation, if thought relevant to any issue, but I merely deprecate the assumption that it is to be the chief means of a great reform In rates.
 "The frightful loss of life and limb among the railway employees of this country, reaching more than 4,000 kill- ed and 65, 900 injured in one year, has properly attracted the attention of Congress and the Legislatures. It makes apparent that service in con- nection with trains of a railway is an extra hazardous business and may well call for Government supervision and exceptional rules to secure the safety oBpthe passengers and reduce the dan ger to employees. Congress, years ago passed stringent laws for the adoption of safety devices to protect both em- ploye and passenger on interstate rail- ways. With the same purpose, 1t has recently limited the hours of continu- ous service for which employees on such railways may be engaged.
 Liability of Interstate Railways.
 Finally, 1t has regulated the rules for the liability of an interstate rail.

his lot. The first half-hour with her he contrived
to spend agreeably.

windows of which were all brilliantly alight.

"There is one though" retorted Miss Scott.
"Only you can't sea mortgage" The expression

time. and following a trail that led through
small field of alfalfa. When the woods were
reached. he settled himself against log in the
sun, and looked down upon the town, toward
which pigmy freight train crawling, and
upon the fringed creek and the small, fenced al
falfa fields bordering the lane.
And then-gobble gobble, gobble He glanced
along the trail Some turkeys coming into
view, and beyond them wide, bobbing hat
When Vincenza appeared driving the LATEST
gohbler before her, Austin rose "Out early with
your turkeys, I see,' he began. You're Miss
Vincenza. Mrs. Thorburn has spoken of you. I'm
staying at High Court for few days"
She had been standing very still while he talked
modestly watching him. Now she smiled frankly
and nodded eyes, know Mrs. Thorburn," she
said AL the time ladies and gentlemen come
from the city to visit her. Sometimes l see them
i go up to the house to take a turkey, maybe
and then 1 see them on the porch"
She moved away, following the flock, and he
walked with her.
Isn't the morning beautiful" he said ''I live
in the city, you know, and never see the sun come
up"
II always see it," she answered. "I drive the
turkeys out early. They are in coop at night
for the coyotes would like to eat them When
they get loose, oh, they walk and walk. They
walk my feet off" She shook her head in mock
despair
They paused now, the foremost turkeys having
stopped to explore a manzanita thicket. Austin
took clio ser look at her than he had before his

Later, he held conference with himself, and
felt just trife disappointed at the thought that

idea was so abhorrent that he determinedly put it

He took off his hat at which the turkeys gave
way in renewed fear. "Good-morning,' he said,
pleasantly.
'Good-morning," she answered, speaking with
out trace of foreign accent. Then, waving branch
and hat she passed on, replying to his smile
timidly.
He mentioned her at lunch. "Ah!" said Hal;

delectable his plate That's Vincenza And
Til bet she's the prettiest girl in California
Everyone at the table promptly agreed. Austin

lane by the creek. ,,,,

shaping her slim hands to form a mouth-trumpet'
she sent down long, clear haloo.

with trail of dust rising like smoke behind him.

studied them moment One was woman IN

But who the girl?
Vincenza now hurried forward, all anxiety for
her flock "Fantana," she called, oh, where are
the babies?" Spying them out all safe, she came
back to give the ever-laggins gobbler smart Gun.
"Why why do you not stay with the little ones
and take care of them?" she demanded in a scold.
''You bad Dewey"
Austin was delighted. He gave over watching
the couple in the valley and helped her circle the
flock and keep them from spreading.

branch; and with hat and branch, she shooed for
ward into the woods small band of bronze-col-
ored turkeys.
She approached so slowly that Austin sat down
again. Presently, he heard her singing, though
he could not distinguish the words or the tune.
Through the song, punctuating it, sounded the
piercing crescendo of young turkeys cheep, cheep,
