average annual yield of corn during his
administration was 1,822,S70,0O0 BUSH
els. The average annual price per
.bushel on the LIST day of December was
1877 cents. During the Cleveland ad-.
ministration the average acreage and
yield was practically the same as dur
ing the Harrison administration, but
the value of the crop was s162, 900 900
less in round numbers. The average
annual price per bushel was ~ cents

Idaho State Druggists Don't Want
Booze Trade.
BOISE, Idaho. May 19.--Members
of the Idaho Pharmaceutical asso-
citation, which opened a three days
annual session here today, had an
interesting discussion on the liquor
traffic as it relates to their business.
The subject will again come up for
discussion and there is a possibility
that the druggists of Idaho may go
on record for strict prohibition in
business, which would be in advance
of any yet taken by drug dealers of
any other state.
The discussion came up over a
statement that there would probably
be some action by the next legisla-
ture on local option, or prohibition.
With the coming of local option, or
prohibition. the liquor trade would
fall into the hands of the druggist
whether he wished 1t or not. II was
asserted that the throwing of the
liquor business into drug store trade
was the worst thing that could hap
pen to any community, and that a
law doing this was poor one.

KILLS DRY
FARM BILL
Senator Hepburn Blocks Mormon
Land Grab Bill

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Hopes
for the passage of the dry farm
homestead bill were killed when
Senator Hepburn succeeded in fore
ing the senate to refrain from enact
ing 1t into law by the threat that he
would talk all week If necessary.
This prospect for a fiilibuster caus-
ed much nervousness among the
leaders, who planned adjournment
this week, and finally the bill was
withdrawn that Senator Hepburn and
Senator Smoot, the author, may con-
suit as to restoring the bill to its
original phrasing.
AS passed by the senate the bill
provided $40 acres in homesteads
on lands "non-irrigable, semi-arid or
arid" but the house cut out the words
"arid or semi-arid," and Senator
Hepburn charged that this move
transformed the measure into a pos
sible means of stealing the public
domain, and asked embarrassing
questions OF Senator Clark. of Wyo-
ming, and others who were support,
ing 1t.
Senator Borah Joined Senator Hey
burn in the opposition on the ground
that the elimination of the words
''arid and semi-arid" made the mea'
snre Objectionable.

NEW YORK, May IA deter
mined warfare on all labor unions,
which will have the support Of the
5000 members of the National Assoc
citation of Manufacturers, represent
ing an aggregate capital of fifteen
billion dollars. will soon be COM
menced. This action was deter
mined upon at today's session of
the association, which is holding its
annual convention at the Waldorf
Astoria. Political methods will be
used by the manufacturers in the
fight, which will inject a new and
vital issue into the presidential cam
paign.
According to President James W..
Van Cleve, the membership of the
association is practically unanimous
in the matter of fighting the unions.
1t is alleged If the 30,0O0,00O labor
ers in this country, less than 1901
900 are affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, and that any
determined stand against what is
termed the tyranny of organized
labor will receive the support Of the
great majority of these unorganized
| workmen.
1t is stated that the association
will not attempt to disrupt the
unions, but will make its fight
against some of the principles which
the unions stand for and which are
obnoxious to capital Among these
are the closed shop. the boycott
sympathetic strikes, apprenticeship
restrictions and compulsory use OF
the union label.
New York labor leaders are ap-
parently not alarmed by the pro-
posed warfare of the association and
declare that 1t is but another out
burst of the spirit of vain antago.
nism to unions which has heretofore
found feeble expression in citizens
allience and similar bodies.
