public, that back in Boston he was
one of their veteran teachers, and .
charge of immortality was made aga
inst him. A committee was appoint
ed to investigate 1t, and they report
ed that while they were not prepar-
ed to say that the charge was true or
untrue, the charge itself had made
such an impression in the communi-
ty and among the pupils, they re-
Ecommended his dismissal as the best
way to settle it.
Since he came to Blackfoot he
worked very hard, and did good
work, but he made enemies. These
criticised him in public, and it stung
him deeply. 1t hurt him more be-
cause his work was for the good Of
the town at large, and being proud
and sensitive, he nursed the pain
and considered that his work was not
appreciated. He wanted to COM
plete the gymnasium and leave, and
it looks now as IL he had followed
this wish. But this action was pro-
badly brought to its climax by the
fact that one had looked up his re-
cord and flashed this old Boston
committee report in the community.
At meeting of the school board he
offered to make statement about
his record and some trouble he had,
but was informed that there was no
occasion for 1t. He said he preferred
to make 1t and did so. The board
made no comment The superinten-
dent is gone. The board waited for
him to return, and as he did not
come, they secured Rev. G. A. Ed
wards, the Methodist minister, to
take his place until they can find a
successor.
Some regret his departure, and
some do not Some even rejoice
that such man should have troubles
but these things are matters of sen
timent or feeling, and our comment
will be found on the editorial page.

Resolved, that the Transmissouri
Dry-Farming congress shall authorize
it's executive committee to establish
an organization and systematic bur-
eau of information which shall as
semble all possible data relating to
experimentation or operative farm
ing under dry-farming methods; ac-
curate information relative to the
districts where scientific soil

The resolution relating to the in

brought about a debate in which
Daniel Harrington and Mr.. Miner,

| The disappearance of W. l.. Har.
rington, superintendent of the city
schools, two weeks ago, and his fail
ure to notify the school board of his
intentions, are the subject of no little
concern to local people. A number
of rumors have been circulated to the
effect that he was short In his &C.
counts, or that he had gotten into
trouble, and in a general way these
rumors are groundless, though we
believe we are in a position to state
just what basis there is for this talk.
Such accounts as he left unsettled
are about what any business man in
good standing would leave unsettled
If he went away, expecting to return
in a few days to continue his work.
He owed few dollars on his room
rent, and other incidentals, but no
bills of large amount nor of long
standing, so far as we can learn.
A day or two before leaving, he
paid the bank $100 which he owed
them, and also deposited $50 to the
credit of the gymnasium. His salary
was drawn up just about even, but 1t
was in such status that an evil doer
could make it appear that he had
overdrawn, or person wishing to
favor him might make it appear that
he had something due him, and both
would be right.
His contract with the board reads
that he was to have 1925 month
for the calendar year, and on this
basis he had overdrawn $25. But
as the most of his work is done in
nine months, his earnings would, In
q sense, be $166 month, and look /
ing at it in this light, he had nearly |
5000 due him when he left. This |
makes material for two kinds of |
gossip.
AS to the talk that he was In |
trouble, that Is true too, and there Is |
for gossip, both kind and
lnkind. We don't mind telling the

culture. The stockmen of Texas were
/ among the advocates of dry farming
This was brought about by the fact
| that the range war ended in the cut
| ting down of the great ranges into
small tracts. This brought about
dry farming on the staked plains.
Practically everything can be grown
when proper methods are applied.
The entire country is now dotted
with grain elevators. He had seen
fine crops growing on this arid land
as could be found anywhere. He cited
the Pecos valley grant in New Mex
leo, community grant, by the way,
and detailed what had been done
there. The founder of dry farming
in this region was Methodist min
lister, who had farmed in Indiana
when boy. In southeast New Mex
leo the cattle and sheepmen have
been driven out and now dry farm
ers are living there and handsome
homes dot the country everywhere.
Experience of Dry Farmer.
w. S. Parish of Colorado was then
introduced, who spoke upon the ok
perience as a Dry Farmer" Mr.. Par
ish has devoted much time and mon
ey to experimenting upon the arid
plains. His home is now near Limon,
Colo. He planted the first trees at
Blair, Neb., thirty-nine years ago.
They were cottonwood and ash
switches. Now there are forests of
cottonwood and ash in that region.
Later he removed to Colorado. In
his locality Turkey Red and Durham
wheats were the varieties raised, and
these wheats are being used in Dem
yer mills to blend with softer wheats.
He raised fine watermelons on his
arid farm, without irrigation, that
were over SO per cent water.

Review of the. Case.

The passing of the sentence of death upon Lieutenant-General Stoessel is d harsh and tragic ending to the career of this Russian commander who three years ago was acclaimed around the world as the s'hero of Port Arthur" The general. who was decorated by Emperor William of Germany and honored by the Russian army for his gallant defense of the Port Arthur fortress, has now been tried and found wanting in courage and capability by his own people and sentenced to give up his life to the fetish of army prestige. Even StoessePs former enemies, the Japanese, have come forward to say that he does not deserve this treatment at the hands of his country. In his last words before the court General Stoessel broken in health and fortune accepted full re- sponsibility for the surrender of Port Ar thur and asked for the death sentence if the court should decide that crime had been committed.
 The basis of the indictments upon which Iieutenant-General Stoessel, General Flock, who commanded the Fourth East Siberian division of Port Arthur, and Major General Reiss, chief of staff to General Stoessel, were tried for their lives, was a secret report made by Lieu tenant Glneral Smirnoff of the defense of Port Arthur Smirnoff was acting con,- mandant of the fortresss Stoessel being commander of the Kwaiig Tung penin- sular Smirnoff categoricalily accused Stoessel of cowardice and incapabilty and finally of the deliberate and reasonable hastening of the surrender to save his own life and in defiance of the decision of two executive counsels of war. The re- port was extremely biased 1t hreathed the most bitter personal enmity and showed that the high officers of the Port Arthur garrison, in the darkest days of the siege, were almost at one anothers 8 throats.
 Smirnoff's Charges.
 General Smirnoff summed up his indict- ment as follows:
 "A series of unpardonable blunders out side the fortress, due to the ignorance and lack of military capacity and prowess of Generals Stoessel and Fock brought about the investment of the fortress sev- eral months earlier than was necessary and after the investment a desire of un- deserved glory moved Stoessel to interfere in the defense with unfortunate results Finally. at the last period of the siege, Stoessel usurped my authority, with the assistance of Generals Fock and Reiss, and committed treason in surrendering . suddenly and prematurely I regard our defeat at Mukden as direct result of this treason" General Smirnoff declared that the fort ss~.>~~-~-~~~~~~~-~-~

REPORT MADE ON EXPENSES
President Smith Shows By Record of His Road That Income Has De- creased, and For This Rea-
 son Salaries Were Cut.

New York, February 20.-President M,- ton H. Smith of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad company. in a statement given to the press today, comments upon the letter which on Tuesday President Roosevelt addressed to the interstate com merce commission. In his communication the President directs the commission to compile data concerning conditions on the Louisville and Nashville and other rail- roads which had already or might put into effect reduction of wages.
 President Smith first states that the in terstate commerce commission is not at present in possession of the data to en- able it to promptly advise as to the con- ditions obtaining which justify reduc- ton in pay.
 He continues
 Such data will show that during the past six years there has been material increase in the pay of nearly all classes of employees, the last important increase of many classes becoming effective March IA, 1907; that during the five years ending June, 1906, there was material increase in the gross and net earnings of the eoni- pany; that for the year ending June 1907, there was a large increase in gross reve- nue, with a slight or nominal increase in net revenues. and for the six months end- ing December, 1907, there was a small in crease in gross revenues. a large increase in operating expenses and decrease in net revenues

Reductions Ars Not General on
 the Railroads
ALARM NEED NOT BE FELT
Chairman Knapp of interstate Com. mission Says That Some Railroads VIII Make Reductions,
 But Only a Few.

Washington, February 2O.-Industrial and financial circles have been more or less concerned today over what they
 regard as a prospect that the railroads
 of the country have in contemplation a general reduction in the wages of their employees Such apprehe ension is prac- tically groundless. Information which
 has reached the interstate commerce
 commission particularly and other of hcials of the government who have a
 direct or indirect interest in indus-
 trial and railway matters indicates i, clearly that there is no concerted ac- tion on the part of the American rail- ways to make general changes in their wage scales at this time or in the near future.
 Instances of postponed readjustment | of wage scales are cited in the cases of three or four southern systems. the 1 Southern railway. the Louisville and | Nashville, the Seaboard All Line and the Atlantic Coast Line being named as practically the only roads in the coun- l try which may be affected. It is tho
 intention of the officials of the lines | named to consider with their employees the question of a readjustment of some
 at least of the wage scales now in force with a view to reducing their operating expenses, which they regard as neces-
 sary- The plans of the officials have not been worked out yet, but because
 it is their desire first to present the
 situation which eonfronts them fairly
 and impartially to their employees. It
 is expected that the employees may meet
 them half way and no serious difficulty | is anticipated.
