OUTLOOK FOR 1908
VERY ENCOURAGING
Many New People Will Cone
During the Year.
New Carey Lands Will Be Waierel,
Building Will Be Active, Power
Resources Developed, New
Industries Established.

The outlook for 1903 is brighter than
that of 1907. The American Falls
Canal e. Power company's canal will be
completed, and hundreds of new fam
lilies will become permanent occupants
of the land. These will require build
ing material, fencing, machinery and
other supplies, making a volume of
trade greater than American Falls ever
before experienced. Great as was the
transformation on the Carey lands last
year, it is little compared to what
must take place the coming year The
section Immediately surrounding Aber-
deem is beginning to assume the ap-
pearance Of an old established com
munity, but that is the only part of the
tract that has seen much development.
The Springfield and American Falls
sections, and the large body of fine land
between the high and low line canals
between Aberdeen and Springfield, will
be the scenes of greatest activity this
season.
The building of an electric railroad
through the tract, which is scheduled
for this year, will greatly stimulate and
facilitate development, and will benefit
alike the settlers and the people of
American Falls.
The proposed enlargement of the
electric plants here will directly benefit
American Falls.
Building operations in American Falls
will be active. In addition to several
splendid business buildings, a large
number of handsome residences are
I projected. New industries will come
during the year and the future is full
of hope.

Governor Gooding makes the follow

and Auditor Bragsw. IL merits close

state auditor was instructed 10 draw up

on December is notified the board that
he would refuse to draw the certificates
giving As reason that the law of 1905
relative to the filing of receipts with
claims against the state had not been
fully complied with in these bills.
When Ex-Governor Steunenberg was
assassinated two years ago the state
administration was confronted by pc
culiar situation. The duty ofinvestiga-
ting the crime and il possible Furnishing
the guilty persons was apparent, and
was undertaken just rs any other duty
would be. After careful consideration
the state board of examiners declared
an emergency to exist. and by resolu-
ton provided for the issuance Of emer-
gency deficiency certificates in payment
of expenses of this all-important work.
II was then understood by the state
board Of examiners that in the secret
service work that was being undertaken
by the Pinkerton agency. under contract
with the state. it would be impossible
TO exact the presentation Of receipts for
all expenses incurred. ~ to secure such
receipts would inevitably uncover the
secret service agent and destroy all
hope Of doing effective service in the
unraveling Of conspiracy Of murder
such - Il was felt had eliminated in the
death Of the states foremost citizen.
For this reason the board Of examiners
decided that the securing Of receipts

should be left TO the best judgment of
the attorneys and the detective force
employed.
This decision, the governor said, as
well as all other matters of moment,
was carefully explained to Mr.. Bragaw,
then and now state auditor, who then
seemed 10 appreciate the difficulty that
confronted the state and the imposs-
bility of an enforcement of the law re-

would disclose his identity by constant

However, Auditor Brs9aw made the

and that the original bills should be
kept on file in his Office. After consid-

Tens of Thousands of Cases of This
Pestiferous Disease Are Being
Reported.
SUFFERERS IN MANY CITIES.
Business in Many Places Is Disor-
ganized on Account ~Prostrations
from This Ailment.

An epidemic Of la grippe seems to be
sweeping over the country, and tens Of
thousands Of people are suffering from
the disease. Pittsburg reports the worst
visitation in its history. The business
of the city is disorganized on account
of the large number Of people who have
been suddenly forced to remain absent
from their places of employment.
Factories and mills, offices and stores,
are affected seriously.
There is a notable uniformity in the
symptoms of the present epidemic,
which appears to affect principally the
bronchial passages. Bronchitis and
pneumonia are its most common accom-
panlments, and it ~aggravates fully so
per cent Of the tuberculosis cases. Those
most injuriously affected are persons
who before the attack were badly run
down In their general health. In their
cases pneumonia quickly develops,
while the heart, brain and other or
gans become affected.
In Philadelphia an epidemic Of grippe
Is sweeping the city and whole fami-
lies are Frustrated by it. Pneumonia in
many cases is followed close upon its
heels, and last week many persons died
Of that disease. Doctors are scarcely
able to keep up with the demands made
upon them. Baltimore, too, Is expert
encing an unusual amount Of sickness.
Other cities where grippe has made
Its appearance are Boston, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Milwaukee
and New York, and reports from these
places indicate that the health authori-
ties fear that the outbreak is only at
the beginning. Health Commissioner
Evans, Of Chicago, has issued a warn
ing to the people, urging them to get
plenty of fresh air and to exercise in
the open as much as possible. Chicago
knows the danger of grippe, for it has
been frequently visited by the disease.
In 1890 that city had $1,000 grippe suf.
ferers and 112 deaths directly resulted.
In 1899 over 800 persons died from the
disease, and since the first appearance
Of the malady the city has paid a
tribute of 2,2OS lives.
In New York, where the disease is
now gaining a strong foothold, sixty
eight deaths resulted last week and
there are many cases scattered about
the city.
Boston is the worst sufferer on the
Atlantic seaboard. There are nearly
100000 cases there and sixty deaths
have resulted. Cincinnati has 1000
cases and the disease seems to be cpl
demic In form.
The open winter is held responsible
for the spread Of the disease. Where il
originated no one seems to know. II
travels with wonderful rapidity. In
1880, when the grippe appeared in viru.
lent form all over the country, it was
tracked back to Europe and thence to
Hong Kong In China. The germs OF
the present epidemic may have come
from the same source.

YELLOW RACES UNITING.
Hobson Says 1t Is Now the Whit.
Man Against the World.

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
representative in Congress from Ala
bama, says the whole world is changing
front and hat we are nearing the time
when it will be the white man against
all the rest. He said:
"The japanese are proceeding to or
ganize the Chinese on military lines,
teaching them in a ~far-reaching prop
aganda to hate foreigners and prepare
for war. Japan is Furthermore propa-
eating unrest in India, and the Japan
csc victory over Russia has shaken the
white mans prestige wherever he is
guiding the destinies Of men of other
colors all over the world. The whole
trend Of events is, therefore, toward a
contest by the yellow race, aided by
the other colored races, a struggle to
wrest from the white man his present
supremacy.
'"The control of the sea is the white
mans only chance for maintaining his
) supremacy and his civilization, and all
than these mean.
Unfortunately, as the yellow races
are uniting, the white races are still
divided. A nation Of the white race
that controls the ocean has already
lent itself to make possible japanese
victory over Russia, and is now lend
ing itself to make possible japanese
victory over America. AS a matter of
fact, the yellow wave that is forming
is already moving eastward over the
Pacific Ocean and tapping the shores
of America, and Americas facing west
ward to check this wave Is In the in,

earth, Of the white mans supremacy.

TAFT SPEAKS IN BOSTON.
Secretary OF War Defends Admin
istration Against Critics.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association OF Boston gave a dinner
the other night at which Secretary Of
ar Taft was the guest of honor.
ilere the Secretary delivered the reply
of the Roosevelt administration to its
critics in Wall street. Mt. Taft placed
the blame for the passing financial
furry where he and the President be-
lieye it belongs. He defended Presi-
dent RooSeyelt's policies> in respect to
dishonest and law-breaking corpora
lions, and said that the President had
been made a target by rich and pow
erful enemies.
Secretary Taft declared the Presi-
dent was and is making a fight for the
honest business man. None but the
shlfty and m~endacious has been hit
and none but this class is raising a
clamor against the President, he de-
clared.
Following are extracts froh Secre-
tary Taft's speech:
For eight or nine months past there
were many indications that the loanabls
capital of the world was near exhaustion.
The conclusion cannot be avoided that
the revelations of irregularity, breaches
of trust, stock jobbing, over-issues Of
stock, violations of law, and lack of rigid
State or national control of insurance
companies, railroad companies, traction
companies, and financial corporations
shocked investors and made them withhold
what little, loanable capital was available.

rency is not arranged so as to permit its

counteract the sudden drain of money by

like wildfre and is as unreasoning and
unreasonable as the spirit of a mob.
