Farmers Institute at Cambridge.

A work which cannot be too much encouraged in
the development of the agricultural portions of
Idaho is of kind with that at Cambridge last week
1t the second annual meeting of the Farmers
Institute of that section, and The Scimtar believes
that better indication be found of the true
prosperity and progressiveness of Washington
County, than the fact that the interest of the farmers
is growing in meetings of this kind. The meeting
was reported as follows in the Cambridge News:
The Farmers Institute has and gone, it
The attendance not large, but the inter
est good and those who did not attend certainly
overlooked something if they were in any way inter
ested in dairying Profs French and Nelson of
the Moscow University and Editor GIBSON of the
Gem State Rural present and delivered inter-
esting and instructive addresses the various sub
jects. AS the time limited it impossible to
all the various subjects pertaining to the farm,
talks confined largely to dairy stock and
daryng. At the close of the institute preliminary
arrangements made to hold another session this
winter. These meetings. if they be kept up, will
result in untold benefit to the agricuturist. Time
does not permit to give this institute the extended
write-up would like to, but you will hear more
concerning it in a subsequent issue. The committee
arrangements is to meet Saturday the 18th to set
the date for the next institute.

Law and Order Committee.

The citizens of Meadows are believers in law and
order, and desire the enforcement of the laws that
the statute books. The latest issue of the
Meadows Eagle contains the following editorial no
tice of the formation of a claw and order COM
mittee"
A number of our representative men are consid-
ering the formation of a committee whose duty it
will be to that the laws in regard to gambling and
the sale of liquors strictly enforced and the peace
of the community preserved 1t too frequently oc-
ours that when a is apprehended for violation
of the law prominent citizens exert their influence
to keep prosecuting witnesses from appearing, and
otherwise interfering to prevent justice being done
and the dignity of the law maintained An example
should be made of of these lawbreakers, and it
should be done at once, with the evidence in hand,
without waiting for further violations. There are
several affdavits from this place in the hands of the
county officials and have been there for many weeks
without results The duty of this proposed commit
tee will be to get others and them

DiSre6ardin9 Law.

The Teton Peek of the 28th ult. makes the follow
ing suggestion in regard to the non-enforcement of
the State Sunday Rest Law:
Idaho has Sunday Rest law which was passed
at the last legislature, but it does not to apply
to the saloons in ST. Anthony While the front doors
are closed on Sunday the rear entrances are open
to all corners and business is conducted in full blast
the same as though no such law existed Evidently
the district attorney is not that the law is
being violated.
No law the statute books should be sighted.
If poor laws be enacted they made the easier to
repeal by being scrupulously enforced
law usually fails of effect when the moral tone
of the community is against the spirit and intent
of the enactment
But laws passed for the general good and no
community afford to disregard their requirement
If majority of the people of ST. Anthony are
opposed to closing their saloons on Sunday they
should yield obedience to the statutory enactment
just the same, because it is law of Idaho

cents a pound for the fowls in Seattle, but he
declined the offer as he expected to get higher
price in the open market
A few of the gobblers were dressed Those shown
a representative of the Independent weighed thirty
pounds and Mr.. Howard said the entire lot would
average twenty pounds apiece.
At an average of twenty pounds at 20 cents
pound the carload would bring just $4,000. Not
bad for "dry farming"
This is the season of turkeys but it is doubtful
if any one in the State has raised larger number
of Thanksgiving birds this year than Mr.. Howard
Besides those he took to Seattle he kept 100 hens
for a beginning for next year, when he will en-
gage in the business more extensively. He
says the turkeys become easy to herd as any
thing else that is herded. He would drive them out
the hills in the morning, watch them during the
day, and at night drive them back to his ranch,
canopy of the blue sky to shelter them and leave
them for the night.

Press and Comment
II Distinguished Educator.

The November 28th issue of the Bull Pioneer
gives the following account of the establishment of
Mr.. and Mrs. Faris in their home at Bull:
Mrs. J. W. Faris arrived Friday evening from
Shoshone, and J. w now has more pleasant smile
than formerly Mr. and Mrs. Faris busy
furnishing their home Ninth Avenue
Mr.. Faris has gone to Bull to be cashier in
bank. This is an entirely field of work for him
but he is by no a stranger to Idaho and Ida
hoans.
In 1886 he came to Idaho Territory and since then
has been constantly engaged in the teaching profess
sion He has taught in Haley Shoshone Pocatelo
and in the Agricultural College of Utah, at Logan.
All through Southeastern Idaho there young
men and young women who know Prof Faris
an instructor. He has placed the standard of that
profession on an exalted plane wherever he has
oficiated as teacher
Many young and young women in Southeast
ern Idaho bear the evidence of tutorshp under Prof
Fars in their handwriting and there are many upon
whose life and nature he has stamped that high
character and devotion to principle which he has
adhered to exemplary gentleman of skill, TACT
zation.
In the change in vocation the scholastic interests
of Idaho suffer an unusual loss The Pocatello
Academy loses a ad-gauged president and Bull
gains most desirable adjunct to her business and
social interests

Railroad Work I'm Gran6epiIIe.

While IN many parts of the country large crews
OF labor1ng men being laid off on account of the
money situation, note in a recent issue of the
Camas Prairie Chronicle, published at Cottonwood
that things still busy in that section of the state
This week will see the completion of the last bit
of grade work on the railroad line between the can
yon and Grangevle. Most of the work has been
completed for some time, only small section of
the grade being unfinished at the Johnson & WEIGH
camp southeast of this place This work will be
finally wound up tomorrow, after which the COM
pletlon OF few bridges will be all the work left to
DO on this side of the canyon preparatory to the
laying OF the ties and rails. We informed that
the wooden bridges will all be completed bv Feb
ruary and as soon the big steel bridge is con-
structed across Lawyers canyon next spring track
laying can proceed the prairie to Grangevlle

HnOfher Coal Discovery.

The Scimitar believes in common with those who
have always claimed that Idaho would ultimately be
able to show valuable deposits of coal and in market
able qualities that the State is on the of import
ant developments. The mining of more valuable min
erals has hitherto overshadowed this important re-
source of the Gem State, but occasionally there have
come reports of fuel finds that have pointed newt
ably to the fact that time in the not distant
future coal mining will be included as one of the lead
ing industries of Idaho The latest report comes
from the Salmon River country, as printed in the
Burnley Bulletin:
The discovery of 10 foot ledge of good coal was
made few days ago the Salmon River few
miles below the mouth of the Pahsamaroi River
Parties who have seen the coal say it is of good
quality and is the largest deposit ever seen in Idaho
The discovery is looked upon of great Importance
1t IS thought railroad will be built into that section

II New Motor Car.

The Bose-Payette country is one of the most
prosperous and most progressive sections in Idaho
One of the factors in this prosperity has been the
Idaho Northern Railroad, and The Scimtar is glad
to note the following evidence of its progressiveness
taken from the Emmett Index:
A new motor will be put into commission on
the Idaho Northern in the spring. 1t will be built
upon the latest approved lines and, it is promised
will be thing of beauty and joy forever" to those
who patronize it.
Plans being drawn for the new car It
will have seating capacity of 80 passengers and will
by electric power furnished from storage batteries
and, in addition, will have gasoline engine which
may be used in case of accident to the electric ap-
paratus. Here's hoping.

Gold Reported In Seven Devils.

1t has been known for some time that the Seven
Devils region rich in "copper" but it remains for
prospector at Landore to report rich find of gold
The Weiser American prints the report as follows:
remarkable strike of gold ore has been made in
the. claim owned by Joe Brown and DR.. Brown, adj
joining the South Peacock on the south. The strike
made in a 700-foot tunnel, in 18-foot ledge.
The ore shows free gold all through it. 1t is a
markabe strike and has caused much excitement in
the camp. The encountering of gold ledge is
great surprise to the owners, who developing

Carload of Idaho Turkeys.

The Eastern subscribers of The Scimitar will be
especially interested in the following news note of
the way turkeys raised non-irrgated land
in the Payette Valley
Turkeys raised on dry farm says the Payette
Independent, herded like sheep in the hills where
they fed grass -hoppers and sagebrush, and band
ed together at night the same as a herder punches
his sheep, is the successful manner in which A. NJ
Howard raised 600 turkeys on his ranch few miles
up the Payette River this year. He expects to
realize over $4,000 on them
Mr. Howard left Payette Sunday for Seattle with
500 turkeys the fowls making a carload. He drove
them from his ranch to New Plymouth, where he
loaded them in a He had been offered 90

Mail order Groceries.

1t is a deplorable fact that the mail order habit
is becoming prevalent in Idaho as we'll as in states
farther east. The Pocate11o Advance tells of the
arrival of carload of mail order groceries in that
city last week:
On Tuesday of groceries arrived from Chi
cago and opened in the local yards.
Its contents composed of consignments, rang
ing in value from SIS to $780, to many different
residents of this city.

Big Store for Marshall Lake.

Marshall Lake is an inland community, located in
the mountains at least fifty miles from the nearest
railroad 1t is in the midst of rich mining country
whose large resources are being rapidly developed.
The following item from the Cottonwood indie
pendent indicates that Marshall Lake. in common
with the rest of Idaho is making rapid progress:
While in Grangeville last week were informed
to the effect that few of the business of that
city will form company and put in a large general
store in the vicinity of Marshall Lake

FREIGHT RATES TO
Be REVISED IN IOWA
Board Railway Commissioners Makes
Unexpected Decision at Close
OF Hearing.

Des Moincs, Feb. S At the close
of yesterdays hearing on live stock
rates in Iowa the state board of rail
road commissioners ordered complete
revision of all freight schedules now in
force in this state. The order caused
much surprise among railroad men at
tending the hearing. and was some
what unexpected. There has been no
general revision of the schedules for
many years, and it was disclosed in
yesterdays hearing numerous inequali
ties have grown up.
1t was deemed important by the com
missioners to eliminate these and put
the schedules upon a modern basis and
in harmony with modern conditions in
freight transportation. The hearing
will be held as soon as possible.
