A Wise GUY.

John w. Gates says he is tired of
gambling and is going to quit it. He
allows that life is gamble anyhow,
and that the best gambler gets through
the world easiest, though according to
the tenets which have been his guide,
he does not quit gambling until he has
the other fellow skinned and is on easy
street Mr.. Gates accuses the farmer
of gambling and says he simply makes
bet with nature when he plants a
field of corn, with the odds about even.
According to the philosophy of Mr.
Gates, the farmer wins a crop about as
often as he loses one. He says every
body CANDLES even when he goes to
work, making practically a wager at
that he gets to his office or workshop
and that it is only by carefully placing
his odds that he wins. And more of
the same sort.
Mr.. Gates has been in the stock
market for years, has played the ponies
about as long, and it is limited delicate
ly that he is not untouched by the
charms of faro, poker and stud Con-
sequently when he talks of gambling,
it must be acknowledged that he speaks
by the card. What he does not know
of games of chance may be taken as
not worth knowing. Always on the
winning side,> he has experienced moth
ing of the loser who has "blown in his
wac" He has managed to stay on
top, and not only that, has accumulated
a considerable pile of cash, which some
day or other belonged to the other fell
low and should be his now. Mr.. Gates
is well healed. He knows when to
get "coId feet" He has gambled un-
til he has obtained every worldly thing
he needs land considerable more. Now
he is out of the game before the tide
turns and somebody else makes him
victim. Mr.. Gates, in the language
of the street, is wise guy.

The rate on coal IRON, ETC., IS also IN

arises what advantage the people have
secured by the rate bill passed by the
last Congress, after being amended to

the Democrats and Senator La Toilette.

Political Pick=Ups.

Some of our Wall Street magnates
make money by wrecking railroads,
while others make money by buying
them after the wreck has been accom-
plished, by issuing bonds in excess Of
the cost to resuscitate them. Both of
these methods of plundering must be
stopped by law for the people have to
pay the cost in unreasonable rates.

ingly, Standard Oil Rogers controls

PROSPERITY FOR
SHEEP OWNERS
WOOlis Bringing Good Prices
aud Landing Season
Successful

There never was another lambing
season any better than. indeed quite
SO good, as the present one, say the
sheepmen of the state.
Weather has been just right, both In
temeprature, in the absence Of cold,
long continued rains or storms, as well
as In the warmth that has brought out
the grass unusually well. So far as
reported Their is no larnbing range
where there Is q shortage Of feed or
water.
Plenty Of feed is an especial benefit,
almost as much so as favorable wealth
err, for with enough grass close at
hand the ewes do not trail the lambs
over miles Of country and run them to
death. While there is perhaps no
larger percentage Of twin lambs than
usual, there will be q bitter proportion
of the lambs saved because OF good
conditions, making it an unusually
prosperous year.
The lambing season is getting pref
ty we'll over.
Wool Brings Good Prices.
Wool is bringing a good price this
year. Little has been contracted In
the west part of the state, but In the
east good part Of the crop was sold
under contract some time ago, at
prices from 81 to 20 cents pound.
The price is somewhat higher than
that to be paid for the western woods,
but this does not mean that the west
ern growers will make less money.
On the other hand they will make dol
lar for dollar with the best of the east
ern fiockmasters. The eastern woods
are mostly cross-breds, with Lincolns,
Shropshires and other clean wooded
varieties Of sheep.
The Merino, the greasy, heavy Me-
rino, is the prevailing type for the
west and central part Of the state. The
fleece is heavier, with a greater
amount of grease to be extracted.
On tn secured basis the two varie-
ties of fleece win bring about equal
prices to the growers.

the center of the EARTH" is what local
travelling men say who are preparing
for the annual meeting of the grand
lodge Uunted Commercial Travellers
of Montana, Utaha and Idaho, in this
city at that time.
The best time the travelling men Of
the thee states have ever had is be
ing planned for them, and while the
delegates to the meeting will not num-
Der more than so, 1t is expected that
at least 500 knights of the grip will be
here-fat men, lean men, old men and
young men, every mothers son of them
a good fellow. And many of them will
be accompanied by their wives. for
whose entertainment preparations are
also under Roadway.
Business Meeting FIRST.
The business meeting is to be held
the first day and after that there will
be nothing but fun for the visitors, in
which Boise people who have never
been up against the proposition of sell
ling man goods when he does not
want any. will also be privileged to
take a hand.
Plans for a big parade which will
probably be held the first day, are
nearing completion. This will offer
many comical ridiculous, laugh pro-
ducing features. The Boise CONNER
cial club will entertain the visitors
on the evening of the 9Th with a smok-
er, and on that evening Manager Schu-
bert of the Idanha will entertain the
visiting ladies, to whom he will ten
der a swell banquet at the Idanha.
Ball 7ame on Program.
A ball game is being planned for, to
follow the parade of the first day.
The original plan was to have teams
picked from the travelling men as con-
testants. but this has been changed
and 1t is now planned to have state OF
Utah pitted against Idaho.
The Salt Lake travelling men are ar
ranging to get team OF the very best
players in Utah and a team to repre-
sent Idaho will be picked from the
very best in the Idaho State league.
On the evening Of the sth the trav-
cling men and their wives win be en-
