Secretary of Agriculture Has
Returned From an Ex-
tended Trip West.
PANIC is NOT FEARED.
FOUND A DECIDED SENTIMENT IN
FAVOR OF THE DENOMINATION
AND REELECTION OF PRESl-
DENT ROOSEVELT.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-The great
West is prosperous and the country as
a whole. therefore, is in no danger of
hard times. That is the word that
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
brought back East with him on his re-
turn from long tour on the other side
of the Mississippi river and in the in
termountain states.
He is aglow with enthusiasm over
the crop outlook, general trade condi-
tions and the political temper of the
people. And Farmer Wilson is the
most acute observer of natural con-
ditions connected with this administra-
ton.
No Fear Is Found.
"The people of the West" said Sec
retary Wilson before starting to
get to the bottom of the mass Of letters
and papers that had accumulated on
his desk during his absence from the
capital, "are not fearful of panic or
hard times The West is prosperous.
There is plenty of money. In fact, 1
have reason to believe the West is
loaning money to the East instead of
the East to the West, and this is being
done at good rates of interest. The
people of the West are not worrying
over Wall street and its troubles. They
scarcely know that such troubles exist,
save as they read of them in the news
papers. The rest of the country is no
longer dependent on Wall street.
Il found that less money has been
going to Canada this year than in re-
cent years in the past.
Farmers Making Money.
The crop outlook is good. Grain
crops generally will be good, with the
exception of the oat crop. There will
be good corn crop, not a bumper
crop, but a good one, If frosts do not
come too early. Prices for farm pro-
ducts and for stocks are high, and the
farmers are making money"
How about politics?'' Secretary Will
son was asked.
Il did not go to look into politics"
was the reply. II heard little politics
discussed; what / did hear on the sub
ject was to the effect the denomination
and reelection OF President Roosevelt
were desired or one thing you may
be sure, the people will demand the
election of a man who will continue the
Roosevelt policies

The Old Maids Rejuvenated.

The Rejuvenation Of Old Maids,
given by St. Mary's Guild, furnished
a bushel of fun for a good sized
audience. 1t also brought out tn {
fact that Emmett has a number of
C Comedians among the women who
rink high. There were 20 or 80
"old maids on the stage when the
curtain went up and when the re-
juven ating machine was introduced
there was a grand rush to try it..
They were fed into one end excruci-
atingly ugly and came out the other
end bewitchingly beautiful. An old
maid dog squeezed in and presto,
a bologna sausage. If the machine
were really what it was represented
to be, what demand there would
be for it, my countrym an! The cos
tunes worn by the ladies were
pretty nearly the limit.

WATER FOR BENCH.
Canyon Canal Will be Ready
When it is Needed.

George B. Rogers, president of thu
Canyon Canal Company. was in tow
last week and gave The Index posi-
tive assurance that an abundance Of
water for irrigating purposes from
the Canyon canal would be available
in plenty of time for the seasons
crops on the bench and South Side
slope farms.
A force of men are at work pud-
ding the big ditch and it is expected
the bench will be reached next week.
The Company will ask for a new
trial in the suit brought by the Boise
Payette Power Company, and it is
not at all unlikely the case will end
in the Supreme court, which may
consume a year or two, during
which time no alterations in the
height of the dam will be made. 1t
is stated the canal company is not
satisfied with the way the case was
handled by the company's attorney
and another attorney will be employ
ed. Well known Boise engineers do
not believe the dam will ever be low
cred, as no damage can be shown to
the power plant.

Important if True.

A Salt Lake paper says: Further
reductions in freight rates between
Idaho and Utah points are announced
by the Oregon Short Line. The cut
becomes effective some time this
month, and will effect many COM
modities. Beginning on the first of
this month, third and fourth class
rates between Salt Lake, Ogden,
Twin Falls and Boise were reduced Z
to 9 cents on hundred pounds.
This means an average reduction of
500 a carload, though in many in
stances $50 a carload has been taken
off"

40 acres Of the Richard brothers'
land on the Slope southeast Of town.

Mr.. Barnes has made a careful

section is so favorably situated for
the growth of the luscious peach.
And he iswilling to back his faith by

LEGISLATIVE DOINGs.
Railroad Commission and Lo
cal Option Bills Defeated.

The past week has been importan
in its development in the Legislature
The railroad commission bill wa.
brought to final vote in the house OF
Thursday and was defeated by vote
of % yeas and 26 noes. The vote
was taken after very spirited dis
cussion lasting several hours.
The bill had been reported for
passage by the committee of the
whole by unanimous vote.
On Friday. the house, after a
heated discussion over the McCrack-
en- local option bill, defeated that
measure by vote of Is to 80. There
is still under consideration in the
house a high license bill, providing
for state license for saloons of $3.50
a year. This bill it is felt, will
probable pass the house.
The matter of the federal judge
ship for Idaho is still under dis
cussion. The feeling has developed,
however, the president will probably
name North Idaho man. If this
be true, it would limit the field of
probably candidates between Judge
Ailshie of the state Supreme court,
who is felt to be clearly in the lead
as a probability, and Judge Truitt,
member of the Senate, and Hon. j.
E. Robb of Lewiston in the order
named.
The bills passing the house pro-
Jiding for the creation of Twin Falls
md Bonner counties have so far been
leld up by the Senate without mo-
ion, but is believed will be passed |
his week. The proposal to divide |
Nez PercR county into three coun-
les, bills for which have been intro
luced in the House and Senate seem
o gather no strength and it is now
hought that no action will be taken.
The proposal to create Power
ounty from portions of Oneida,
Elaine and Cassia counties, with the
ounty seat at American Falls. has
0 far received but little attention.

head of hair among the hundreds OF

They were the well-coiffured heads of

learned society, at which there were
perhaps two or three hundred of the
brainiest thinkers and educators

The Minstrel Show.

Probably the largest audience that
ever squeezed into Pleasure Club
hall was present at the second annual
appearance of the Commercial Club
Minstrels. Standing room was at a
premium and many were unable to
secure admission. There is differ
ence of opinion as to the merits OF
the performance. About two-thirds
Of the audience praise it highly, a
number say it was good, others say
: it was fair to medium, and we have
heard of but one who didn't like it.
The music this year differed from
that of last. 1t was of higher
standard and in keeping with the
modern minstrel performance. In
that probably a few were disappoint-
ed. They were anticipating regu-
lar old fashioned minstrel show with
all its accompaniments. Ira d.
Bronson, the capitalist of Boston,
was present and was loud in his
praise of the performance. He said
he had never witnessed a better anna
teur performance. The choruses,
uuartets and soloists were well rem
dered, and Reub Eaton and Jack
WcEacheron did some clog dancing
that was as good as seen anywhere.
The sketch by the Fisher brothers
was cleverly acted and pleased the
audience, and the acrobatic work by
the Munday brothers, Ellis Wymer
and Chris Peterson was good. Oliver
Perkins efforts brought down the
house. The only real bum" per-
formance, in our estimation, on the
program was the stump speech, and
that was so rotten it smelled. Even
the eat couldn't stand it. The music
by the orchestra was very fine and
their work is being complimented on
every hand.

AS a result of the minstrel show
and the talent displayed in both the
orchestra and chorus, it is probable a
permanent musical organization will
be formed. The idea is to endeavor
to hold together the present organi-
cation and add to it others who have
musical ability and train for future
work. In short, a musical club. The
idea is a splendid one.

Radium in Rocks.

The announcement of the discovery
of radium in the Simplon Tunnel in
sufficient quantity to a%ppreciably
raise the temperature is Of consider
able interest from a geological point
of view. For if it can be shown that
this element exists in any consider
able quantity in the earth's crust,
then the time during which it may be
supposed the earth has been a posi-
BILE seem of neutrality-suspicious. may
be greatly extended. The earth, in
fact, may be greatly older than was
admitted possible by physicists. For
radium would retard the cooling of a
once molten globe by continually ra-
dating heat, and thus prolong the
time necessary for it to reach it's
present temperature. And this slow
er cooling would also prevent, to a
large extent, the radical contraction
upon which so many biologists have
relied as the means of the elevation
of mountain chains and other secular
movements of the earth's crust. The
presence of considerable quantities
of radium in the earth thus renders
more probable the theories of earth
movements which have been advanced
by those we'll known biologists, NJ.
