ONTARIO, OREGON.



The branch railroad from Ontario to
Yale will be extended on through
Burns and to the coast this summer.
The work of extension will be under
way, within the next so days. The rail-
road Will open up a vast tract of coun-
try. with soil as fertile as any in the
United tSates. With rational treat
ment 1t Will never wear out, but rath-
er increase in fertility as it is loosened
by the root systems of growing vegeta-
ton.
+ This is a good alfalfa country and
the stock interests are so gerat that
it always commands good price.
ontario and vicinity is adapted to the
growing of hardy winter apples, pears,
cherries, prunes and small fruits of
all kinds.
We read the article in last weeks
issue Of The Republican Started a
boycott with much interest and are
his convictions.
We are sorry for the one who will
not read the paper any more, just think
how much he will miss, while "The
Idaho Republican" will go serenely for
Ward with unshaken poise regardless
of his wasted energy, poor man.
We like the idea of a Commencement
number at graduation time and would
suggest that all the members of the
class request "our editor" and Mrs
Trego to reserve the first place for
their own pictures and life sketches
as the number would not be complete
without them.

A number of our young people went
to Shelley Wednesday evening to wit
ness the good old play "Ten Nights
in a Barroom" 1t was put on in a
masterful way but the attendance was
poor, and to the casual observer it
looked as if the lesson was lost, for
while the play was going on a dance
was also in progress and the traffic be-
tween saloon and dance hall was appal-
ling. Does Idaho need prohibition? 1t
looks that way.

HAMER WILL NOT ACCEPT.

The report that Hamer would take
up the work in the Black foot Land Of
flee the first of July is followed by the
statement that he did not ask for the
appointment and has not acceptedw It
That he has claim upon certain poll
ticians who are in the habit of trading
in political jobs and proposes to see
II their promises are worth anything.
Hamer wants to go to congress, and
while we do not expect to see him
nominated, we look on with interest at
his efforts to make somebody deliver
what they promised him, for we sup
pose he has been promised something
something that had a string to 1t.

IGNORANT OR UNTRUTHFUL.

The Paris Post of a few weeks ago
admonished The Republican to quit
standing out for what we termed rem
fesentat1ve expression from the people
on current political matters, and con-
jured us to yield to the powers that
be for the sake of harmony and clear
sailing within the party. 1t advised
against our having opinions of our own
that we were willing to stand by and
hand out without consulting the strong
men of the party. 1t expressed regret
that after we had so successfully en-
tertained the press of eastern Idaho
and put ourself in a. good light with
them that we should so radically differ
with them in opinions political.
Now that The Post has had its say
and has passed on to express itself
on other matters, we observe it's ex-
preston of June 18th regarding a re-
cent event, and pass our compliments
back to the Post.
In giving his readers an account of
the Democratic convention at Twin
Falls, Editor Hoge misrepresented it.
Whether he was misinformed or did it
from prejudice we can only conjecture.
but the fact remains that the whole
trend of the article was misleading
and not in conformity with the facts.
1t Is of very little Importance, and
nothing to us for we were there as a
disinterested spectator, but we are sur
prised that Mr.. Hoge, after attend
ing the meeting of the Press Club here
and making such favorable impress
sion upon us all, should deliberately
take his information about the big
rumpus at Twin Falls from an uhre-
liable \source, or let his prejudice
against Dubois, cause him to misinform
his readers who pay him for the de-
livery of news
If our political opponent does some
thing, we should pass 1t on to orr
readers just as it happens, regardless
OF whether 1t suits us or not, and any
misrepresentation we may make can
not be justified on any grounds what
ever
Editor Hoge should investigate the
source of his information and when
convinced that 1t was wrong, it is up
to him to get his information from
somebody else hereafter. He probably
got some of 1t from The Capital News,
but he has outdone them in some of
his report, saying that Chairman Nc
kinley used language that was vile,
obscene and filthy" in the presence of
ladies when he was trying to restore
order in the convention.
This is little the worst we have
seen yet, among the many padded re-
ports of that event. and the fact that |
the only bunch of, ladies in the con-
vention got as close to Mckinley as |
they could. and cheered and waved |
and held banners aioft |
to help him carry his point, leaves Ed
tor Hoge and the ladies to determine |
which is occupying the improper posi-
ton. Either the ladies were cheering
'bscenity from Mckinley or Editor
'iHe' has unwittingly put them in a
wrong light, and 1t is in order for him
TO make acknowledgement.
We are not making a contention for
Mckinley nor Perky nor any of the
but are contending for
fair play and clean newspaper work.

ANOTHER PROMISE BROKEN.

g. f. Hansbrough who has been ac-

in politics for several years, was slated
TO receive the appointment of United
States District Attorney for Idaho
when N M. Ruick's term expired or
when there was vacancy, and now an
other man has been given the plum.
This leaves Mr.. Hansbrough wonder
ing what value or virtue there Is in
the promises of the men who have
been making these solemn agreements.

The event of the season will take
place on Monday, May 18th, at the
Moreland hall A dance will be CIV
en- for the children in are afternoon
and for adults in the evening. Sand
witches, coffee, cake and ice cream
will be served both in the afternoon
and evening. The lovers of amuse-
ment can surely have good time on
this occasion. All are invited.
Dame rumor has it, and it comes
from good authority, that move
ment is on foot which if it proves to
be correct, will do great things for
Moreland, as some of the desert land
now practically useless will be sub
dued and made to produce cereals
and rebound in blessings to those en-
tering into the business. 1t is the
purchase of we'll drilling machine,
and will be used in putting down
number of wells on the desert. Two
or three years since, some of our citi-
zens sank hole in the rocks to
considerable depth, but on account
of the slow process of hand drilling
and other causes 1t was abandoned.
This will be completed at an early
date and as several of our burgers
have made locations out there 1t Is
presumed they will either individual
ly or by several of them uniting to-
gether and have wells put on these
properties. The prospects of dry
farming look too good to let pass
without an effort being made to con-
vert the vast rich tracts lying waste
to the use of man. The people here
are convinced that dry farming has
passed the experimental mark, and is
a stern reality. Prosperity boys, in
this new undertaking.
