The Editors Birthday.

The editors birthday passed of very smoothly. Large crowds of peo- pie were in the village to celebrate the event. but the large corps of ex- tra police preserved order and de- corum in very creditahle manner. Notable among those present were John D. Fellerrock, Andrew Farnegie, Reddy Roosevelt, B. J. Wryan, Tarry flaw, and others. Speeches were made by prominent anarchists. Among the presents we received was nice dish of bean soup presented by Ihe culinary department of the Wom- an's club; a recipe to cure beer guz- slers, from the Loyal Temperance le- zion; a pleasant look Of our wife Every, very rare); and the merchants all clipped in and presented us with a ID. beet labelled A dead one" To show the public that we appreciate their liberality we marked up our eN. changes year ahead.-Pleasant Plains GID Press.

NOTICE.
IssEE COUNTRY CLUB.

This Bisbee Country Club is a sue. cess already with more than three hundred enrolled members. All that now remains is the detail work of SC, lecting and improving grounds and having the plans. made for club house. It will be just like Bisbee to provide one of the handscmest club houses to be found in the territory, and that win be going some when the handsome club house recently erected at Douglas is taken into consideration.
 The country club is coming none too soon, and it's organization is to be com mended. It will bring our people closer together both for the considera- ton of business and social matters; the business and professional men of a city can not meet too often. There are always important matters which will be better disposed of if those in crested in them come often together. quiet club house away from the ares of daily duties is an admirable ,lace to talk over these matters as they are presented for consideration.
 It is understood that a golf links will be selected and this game which is growing in popularity will be added as a means of exercise and recreation for those whose business pursuits re- quire close confinement in the, office or store room.
 Bisbee already has some cozy club room accommodatin, including the I'M. c. A, the Elks' club rooms, the public reading room, and others, but the country club will provide a place where both ladies and gentlemen may meet for recreation and entertainment
 The country club in Bisbee promises to have more members than any other country club in the territory, and this shows that tho people of this city are thoroughly united ron matters which are proposed for the welfare of Bisbee.
 When we talk of country clubs, cleo tric car lines, and golf links in Bisbee and Douglas it brings up prominently the rapid growth of this section of the territory. Twenty-Five years ago there were only a mere handful of people in Douglas. so to speak, and they come and went with caution to avoid meeting band of Indian sav- ages. who were then skuTking in the
 iountains and over the valleys; now te have a city with every modern onvenience and people come and go q parlor cars and the automobile has taken the place of the mule teams which in former days were the only means of overland transportation.
 No section of the west has made greater progress in recent years than the Warren Mining district, and it is good to see our citizens come forward in their usual enthusiastic way in sup port of the country club.

A good many seem to have the i'm pression that B. A. Fowler is the man slated by the territorial admins tration to succeed the present gover- nor of the territory. We suppose that Judge Kent and Governor Kibbey have come to this decision and what other people of the territory may think of the choice will have very little weight in Washington. Here is a reason why our people should get into the game for statehood with re- newed vigor. Mir. Fowler was a can didate for congress on the republican ticket a few years ago and at that time it was made manifest that he was the candidate of the Salt River Valley Irrigation association. MT. Fowler made great promises about what he could do in the matter of se- curing statehood for Arizona should he be elected but afterwards when g delegation from Arizona was in Wash ington to urge the claims of the ter ritory to the right of self-government Mir Fowler was so busy with his ir- rigation project that he scould not find time to accompany the Arizona delegation when they appeared before the committee on territories. We do not believe MT. Fowler would be the choice of the people of Arizona for governor; we do not believe that he would be the choice of the republi- cans of the territory for this office. The republican party of the territory contains many men who would be wei comed as governor should they be appointed but under the territorial form. of government little attention is given to the desires of the people in filling the offices.

TAFT ON INJUNcTioNs.

Everyone will admire the firmnes: of Secretary Taft in stating his opin ion regarding injunction proceedings in court. Secretary Taft says that he believes that the injunction should be preserved as a means to protect property from those who are lswless and vicious and who would destroy l the property of others or interfere ~. T the rights of others. But Inc secretary suggests that as a precau- ton against the abuse of the law of injunction it would be well to pro vide some amendments of the pres ent law. One suggested remedy is that charges of violation of an in. junction should not be tried before the same judge who issued the vio- lated restraining order. Commenting on the remarks of Secretary Taft on the writ of injunction at Cooper Un- ion lase week the San Francisco Chronicle says:
 Tt is legitimate for any one to ask candidate for public office for an expression of his views upon any sub ject upon which, if elected, he may be called upon to pass, and when those making the inquiries are repre- sentative men or bodies representing large interests he ought to reply in clear and explicit terms. Secretary Taft is not a man to evade such ques- tions or straddle in hisreply, and to an inquiry from the State Federation of Labor in his own state of Ohio as to his views on the use of the injunc- ton in labor disputes the secretary has made a reply which is not only clear and explicit but eminently req sonable and sane. He would not weaken the power of the courts to enforce their own lawful orders, but, on the other hand, he would provide against the abuse of power by pre- judice or Unbalanced judges by a more careful limitation by law of the conditions under which injunctions may issue and would remove any pos sibiIity or appearance of personal vim dictiveness in punishment for con tempt by calling in another judge to pass upon alleged contempts and fix the penalty if contempt is shown. He would uphold and strengthen the courts, upon which the people must rely for protection, but minimize the influence of the personal equation of the judge. To call in a jury in cases of contempt would be to degrade the court by submitting its most solemn process to the jurisdiction of laymen impaneled, possibly, in the heat of a passionate contest, and permitting counsel to harangue on the follow or inIquity of a judge. Secretary Taft would not consent to it.
 And neither would any one else, except for the purpose of breaking d5vn the power of the courts and

Sims Ely has been appointed to the office of auditor of the territory to succeed Hon. John H. Page. who was recently appointed to the office oi secretary of the territory by the pres ident. It looks very much like the federal pie counter in this territory was under the control of close cor aoration.

Parcels Post Good for Merchants.

Spokane Spokesman Review: A dis
patch from Lewiston calls attention to
the menace to the country ...erchants in
the organization OF cooperative stores
among the farmers.
In the rural parcels post the country
merchants are offered means to in
crease their trade among the farmers.
They will be given a material advantage
over the mail order houses, which here
tofore they have not possessed. Under
existing rates and weight limit they can
send nothing larger than a four-pound
parcel to customer, and it must carry
postage at the rate of l6 cents pound,
or "a cents for four pounds. The mail
order house has the same rate.
Under the proposed "differential"
system the limit OF weight would be the
same in both cases-ll bounds-but the
merchant on rural route would have 20
pay ONLY 25 cents on an ll-pound pack
aye, while the mail order house must
pay 81 30. On a one-pound package the
local merchant would pay cents and
the mail order house - cents; for two
pounds the rates respectively would be
7 cents and "a cents for three pounds, 9
cents and SO cents; for four pounds, II
cents and AS cents, and SO on up to the
ll-pound limit.
The new system would so greatly ben
eft the local merchant that the influence
of the mail order houses and OF the ex-
press companies is being exerted to pre-
vent it. Misrepresentation is resorted
In in an attempt To make the local mer-
chant believe that the mail order houses
copld establish distributing points from
which they could send goods at the rn-
raj rate. TIE proposed law provides
against this by saving that the lower
rates shall apply ouly on paenakes hav-
inc their actual origin ON rural routes.

Upon hearing of the death OF ex.Pres-

Il am deeply grieved to learn OF the
'dea+h OF Mr. Cleveland. His will be
'arge place in history. He was the pos.
SCISSOR Of great talents and untiring in.
dustry and executive capacity that had
few parallels. His eight years OF ad.
ministration will safely endure the sure
test OF time. His personal and official
integrity were beyond all question. As
candidate upon the national ticket
with Mir. Cleveland in his latest contest,

and o'ten guest at his house. He vas
delightful host. Blessed in his domes-
tic relations, his home was one of the
happiest have ever known. Not only
as a statesman, but as the affeciiorate
husband and father, he is entitled to
grateful remembrance.
"The passing of Mr. Cleveland marks
an epoch He was indeed striking
figure in American history His like we

man, great president. His early
struggles, his tireess energy, his lofty
ideas and the spl .ndid success that
crowned his efforts should be an abiding
inspiration to his countrymen."

Boise Valley Fruit
Crop Will Be Big
Committee of Growers Association
Place Large Orders for Baskets
Boxes and Paper.

Despite the backward spring and un-
usually disturbed weather conditions of
the spring months of the present year
the Boise Payette valley fruit crop now
gives promise Of more than double the
yield OF any former wear. The peach
crop was but slightly touched by the late
irosts and indications at this time are
that the yield will be larger than usuul.
Raspberries and blackberries are looking
splendid and the yield will be better
than normal.
The executive committee Of the Boise
Payette Fruit Growers association at
meeting held few days ago, awarded
contracts for boxes, baskets, paper and
other supplies to be used.by members of
the association in marketing this sea
sons crop. From the purchases Of the as
sociation may be gathered fairly good
idea OF the value Of the crop and the
large amount Of money expended in
preparing it for market, bearing in mind
the fact that not nearly all the fruit
growers OF these valleys are members OF
the association.
Contracts were awarded as follows;
y. j. Olesen of Ogden, 2,OO0,0O0 prune
baskets, and 45O, 900 strawberry and
blackberry baskets, the price to be $2l,-
600. The Idaho Paper company re-
ceivos the contract for five car loads Of
paper to cost between $1,000 and slO,-
600. Four hundred kegs Of Persons
cement-coated nails will be ordered
which will cost in the neighborhood Of
sl7 900. The Barber Lumber company,
900, 600 prune crates, about 200 ooo ap-
PIE boxes and 10000 pcar boxes the
cosi 20 Dc $685.
