The February Smart Set.

Gertrude Lynch is the author of a
striking novel, winds of the World, -
which opens the February Smart Set,
and a story with more original plot has
not recently appeared. Two women
reared in the same country town are
thrown together in on extraordinary
way after many years of separation, the
one poor, the other fabulously rich.
Following this seemingly old situation
is an entirely new and unexpected de
nouement. Miss Lynch's gift for
searching character analysis has never
been more in evidence, and this piece
of work WILL beyond question, give her
a lasting place among modern fiction
writer's.

The Sites Sentinel is responsible for the state

This is very wise departmental regulation, es-

Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Hon. Francis E.

winter to promote this plan. The idea to give

degree of intelligence and honesty to satisfy the

The Indian problem has always been trouble
some one to deal with and many disappointments
to the Government have been experienced with tribes
throughout the West, with no end of embarrassment
and failure on many of the reservations. The Nez

For a Game Reserve.

The sportsmen of Southeastern Idaho are looking
into the future for game reserve where they
satisfy their ambition to shoot and hunt The clip

There is no better hunting ground anywhere than
that of upper Fremont County. 1t is naturally

to be hoped that the efforts of these gentlemen will
succeed and that the organization will be formed
and managed wisely and successfully:

bulk of the membership will come FROM and it is
the present intention to complete the organization
by the first of the year. The ranch is ideal spot

President Roosevelt has, in uncertain terms
again declared that he will not seek accept
denomination for the Presidency. He adheres to his
original declaration and those who still insist on
his nomination place too low estimate the
character of the man. He is sincerely and honestly
out of the race and his declaration the cleo
ton of William J. Bryan his successor. The
reform ideas of the two men are SO closely inter
woven and run so nearly along the channels
that Bryan becomes the logical candidate of the
Democrats and hundreds of thousands of Roosevelt
Republicans will flock to his standard. Party lines,
which have been growing weaker and weaker for
a number of years will be largely oblterated in the
support of Bryan The independent voter, who is
usually the reformer and advocate Of the peoples
interests will become the enthusiastic supporter of
the great commoner 1t will be a of simply
changing drivers the great stage coach of state.
While President Roosevelt might be able to hold
his admirers and followers for himself, he cannot
do so for any other whom the Republican
vention may nominate. Roosevelt is strong with
the people, he has taken up and advocated many
things which Bryan has been advocating for years.
Roosevelt has demonstrated the fact that these
forms necessary; that the trusts and corpora
tons must be controlled; that loot and fraud in
dealing with the Government must be stopped; that
Government is maintained for the people Bryan,
than any other living man, is equipped to take
up the work where Roosevelt lays it down, and the
people will not be slow to see this.

Means Bryan'S Election.

This is decidedly an age of independence of
thought and of action along political lines. For
some years past there has been universal loosen
ing of party bands The action of the classes oper-
atng against the interests of the masses has caused
this The former is the smaller and the latter the
larger class. There is general spirit amounting to
demand for civic righteousness abroad in the land
Mi. Bryan in his campaign of 1896 directed public
thought in those channels. He was belittled and
vilifed and great TRADE of abuse was heaped upon
him. He stood steadfastly by those principles and
early in the campaign of President Roosevelt evil
denceS of corruption in high places discovered
The people astonished at these conditions and
a great many men who occupied these high places
were sent to the pententiary and otherwise hui
inflated and punished
All of these conditions are conducive to a better
order of things and return to first principles is
one of the bright signs of the immediate future.
Since the announcement that Roosevelt would
not undertake to succeed himself as President
great many pertinent comments have been made as
to the effect which this would have on the hearts
of the American people The Occur d'A1ene Weekly
Press, of the very best papers in Idaho ably
edited by Hon. Joseph T. Scott, who stands high
in his profession in Idaho, makes the following COM
ment the situation, under the heading of Means

Wool Growers Meet.

"The Idaho Wool Growers Association will meet
in Pocateo on January 10th and 11th" says the
Pocatello Tribune.
The Tribune predicts that three hundred
and fifty delegates expected to attend this meet
ing at Pocatello, and that many of them will go
to Helena, Mont, directly from there, to attend
the National Wool Growers Association that is to
meet in that city on the 18th of January. The
Tribune suggests that the National Wool Grow
ers' Association, which is to meet year LATER in
1909, should come to Idaho; and mentions the
fact that Pocatello and Boise will probably be
ddates for the location of that meeting.
This is a very important meeting. The delegates
which attend it usually number from twelve to
eighteen hundred Idaho take care of this meet
ing. 1t is to be hoped that Idaho will be favored by
the National association with this location.
The Interstate Commerce Commission in its last
report places Idaho third in the list Of wool pro-
ducng States of the Union 1t is very appropriate
that the industry should have the compliment and
the State the honor of entertaining this National
meeting The rate of progress which this industry
has made in the last fifteen twenty years is mar
veous, and it is a fair presumption that the growth
and development of this industry will proceed at
rate in the next twenty years equal to the last
The commercial clubs of South Idaho we'll
afford to unite upon this proposition and give it
tnen COgenC support
Idaho will be prepared by 1909 to go dress
parade before any National association, and espe-
cially one that is made up of such people as the
National Wool Growers Association. The rate of
development of irrigation projects is marvellous
The acreage that are bringing under cultivation
the crude elements that turning into rich
fields of grain, the genius and skill which we are
exhibiting in conserving by storage, the surplus
waters from the smart streams and melting
of grand mountain ranges, will be great object
lessons for those who are interested in the material
things that contribute so manfesty to the upbuild-
ing of new commonwealth.
To be able to point out these and many other
natural and acquired advantages to National asso-
Citations and to individuals, is great privilege; and
in behalf of those rapidly developing interests in
Idaho it is meet and proper that we should use
every honorable to induce the members of
this association to locate their convention in Idaho
year hence.

Makes a Pleasing Prediction.

The Harrison (Idaho) Searchlight predicts that
the time will come in that part of the country when
timber raising will be staple business like grain
raising; when cattle will be pastured on the land
and the richest and best lying tracts will be cult
waited; when the crops will be fruits, vegetables and
possibly grain; when dairying will be carried on
extensively and creameres and cheese factories will
dot the country; when new class of settlers will
come in, establish permanent homes and raise prod
ucts for Eastern and Western markets.
The picture is interesting and pleasing one,
though the transformation from existing conditions
may not come for some time. The lumber industry
which has been back of the rise and development
Of Harrison has yet before it many years of life
But the. steady 1nroads that are being made the
great forests of cedar, fir, tamarack and pine will
ultimately bring about material change, and the
Searchlight's forecast may be verified
In the immediate vicinity of Harrison, situated
as it is on steep hill the east side of Occur
dAene Lake the possibilities for extensive agricu1-
tra areas do not suggest themselves to the casual
observer but in the valleys of the Occur dAlene the
St Joe and St. Maries rivers farming and stock
and fruit raising destined to become leading in
dustries
There is every reason to accept the prophecy that
as the timber resources gradually disappear much
of the land will become available and profitable for
agricultural purposes, that the rancher will replace
the lumber-Jack and that nature will continue the
bestowal of riches upon an industrious people
The above is clipped from the Spokesman-Review,
one OF the greatest papers of the Northwest, which
IS always interesting itself most appropriately in
the material welfare of North Idaho. It's remarks
are very appropriate and in a few years the great
areas of North Idaho that are now so heavily tim
bered will, suggested, yield an abundance of grass
and grain and this will be one of the richest farm
ing communities
Indiana furnishes appropriate illustration in
comparison, and do Michigan Wisconsin and
parts of Minnesota. But a few years ago these
States heavily tmbered, and what little farm
ing was done in the timbered portions of these great
States among the stumps and amid the hardest
sort of difficulties. trip over these middle west
States now shows great contrast These great
forests have been removed, and in their place are
waving fields of grain, rich pastures and values have
constantly grown there in an agricultural way
with great benefit to the owners and wonderful
profit to those several States Land of North Idaho
is particularly rich and productive, and when these
great rich forests turned into their most bene-
fetal use, there will spring up there one of the
finest agricultural and grazing countries in the new
and growing West.

A VOICE FROM OAKLAND.
j. H. Lathrop Discusses Political Situ-
alton in the Little City.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
AS there is % pay attached to the
onfce of city councilman in city of
the third class we do not know of any
one who is going mad over a chance to
get in and then the present council left
no meat on the bones Of the franchise
skeleton.
F. A. Brigham, who is the candidate
for mayor on the Independent ticket,
stands for progress and improvements
of All kinds as we'll as fair play as all of
his dealings indicate, to say nothing of
the excellent manner in which he has
kept up the several blocks of residences
which have been under his charge for
several years.
With him is Oscar Neil of the Oak
land Wooden Mills; Noah Copeland, the
representative nurseryman; G. H. En-
sign, the clean law abiding druggist and
physician; John Shwart, the mechanic
who stood in the present council in the
minority but honestly for the peoples
interests and against graft and Col
onel G. NJ. Stockham, square deal
puritan as councilman, and ]. w. Till
man for police Judge all of whom stand
as does the head of the ticket for prog
reSS and honesty. These men who have
been nominated for city officials are all
men of large business capacity and ex-
perience and whose moral standing
should command the votes.
A vote for this ticket is a vote for
not graft and private snaps and the
misappropriation of funds by the
building of isolated sections of side
walks and the taxing of nonresidents
who have money on hands. The val
liable franchises of the city if they had
been properly handled would have re-
turned n revenue at a small per cent
on the investment sufficient to run the
city, besides build walks and make
other improvements.
This Independent ticket stands for
the will of the people. The men
nominated believe that the people have
the primary right to instruct their
representatives on all subjects and will
not take any steps to have Oakland
attached to Topeka or to grant cor
porate powers without first consulting
the wishes of the people.
This does not mean retrogression or
that the city will be turned into pas
ture for the corporate COWS to Craze
off Of Nor does it mean that they will
turn US bodily into the NAV of the
street railway whale, Jonahlike as our
present city council did, when 1T voted
q 80 year franchise for practically all
the public service of the city without
returns from the company for the
privilege.

BEYOND CONTROL.
Peasant Movement Has Become Too
Much for Roumania.

Bucharest, March 25.-That the re-
VOTED peasants of Roumanfa are at
least temporarily beyond the control
of the government is amply evidenced
by the stories of pillaging and incen-
diarism coming in from all parts OF
Moldavia and Wallachia.
There have been several conflicts
between peasants and troops, notably
at Bacess, in the district of Vasuli,
where 1000 peasants armed with
rifles and revolvers attacked a COM
pany of soldiers. The troops fired sew
eral volleys, killing forty persons and
wounding large numbers, but the SOL
diers were so greatly outnumbered
that they finally were obliged to re-
treat
At the village of Teleorman, in the
Alexandria district, Wallachia, peas
ants sacked the synagogue and burned
forty houses. The rioters also demol-
ished and completely pillaged Zim-
nicea, another village in the Alexandria
district.
The army reserve men are fraterniz-
ing with the marauders and participant
ing in the work of plumber.
Thousands of peasants surround the
little town of Rosiori de Vede, in the
Alexandria district. with the intention
of looting 1t If a favorable opportunity
arises. The troops at Rosiori de Vede
are not numerous enough to hold out
indefinitely.
The total of troops now in Mol
davia is 32.610. but large reinforce
ments are still required.
At today's session of the chamber of
deputies the members suggested to the
government that energetic repression
was the only course suited to the con-
dition in the disturbed regions of the
country.
