tenor of those utterances, for Senator
Hepburn is by nature and training
autocratic, diotatoTial and resentful of
restraint-but with amazement that
among all that host of republican del
egates who sat supinely and listened to
his destructive utterances there was not
found one man of courage and spirit
to resent bis bold assault upon the
rights of the people.
Senator Hepburn attacked the foun-
dations of representative government
when he declared:
81 have always opposed, as do now,
any platform which may show any at
tempt to legislate for the people. You
are not empowered to make such
platform. You may recommend, and
if the officers the people elect find
your recommendations. sound and a
base for legislation, they will act. If
they do not find your recommendations
sound you must not be offended, for
you may te wrong.
And again when he said: "You are
here to recommend. not TO pledge"
These ale astounding doctrines to
fall from the tongue of senator of
the republican party whose first plat.
form in 1856 began with an eloquent
demand for "the maintenance of the
principles promulgated in the Declara-
ton of Independence, declared in clear
cut language for laws that would bar
monize with its principles and invited
"the affiliation and cooperation of the
principles herein declared.
Senator Hepburn arrogates to him
self the power and privilege which
tyrants have always grasped, of reject
ing the will of the people whenever
that will may run counter to their
own will. "You may petition me. but
you shall not direct me. For stub
born adherence to that vicious doctrine
Charles I. lost his head and George
III. sacrificed the American colonies.
Senator Heyhu should be beaten.
and he will be beaten if the republican
voters of Idaho have inherited the
spirit of their forefathers and have
more respect for their rights and their
ohildrens rights than for the false fe-
tish of party name. Spokesman Re-

The Missouri River Valley is one Of
the most susccessful hog raising sec
tions of the United States, and corn
has always been the basis of this in-
dustry. Today one of the most pop
ular stock -fattening foods in the Mis-
souri, River region is mixture of
alfalfa meal and sugar beet pulp,
which is produced in Colorado. Ad-
vices recently received from that state
show that numerous new mills are be-
ing erected, and certainly the Pacific
Northwest should give this industry
every possible encouragement and this
is particularly true since the great
international concerns like Swift &
Co. and Others have decided to locate
upon the Pacific Coast, and they are
now spending million of dollars in
building their plants at Portland. A
good reliable fatteniDg food equal to
corn would make this section of the
United States the very richest portion
of our great republic.

The Hood River Apple Growers
Association have just closed contract
for 80, 900 boxes of the growing crop.
aud now have under discussion the
sale of $50, 900 additional boxes. This
will be good news to all fruit growing
sections of the Northwest. Forest ex-
pertinent stations will soon be estab-
lished a number of the National Forest
states of the West according to the
plans which have just been completed
by the United States Forest Service.
These new stations are expected to do
the same for the development of
American forests as agricultural ex-
pertinent stations have done for the i'm
provement of the countIy's farms.
As the first step in this work an ex-
pertinent station has already been es-
tablished on the Coconino National
Forest in the Southwest, with head
quarters at Flagstaff, Arizona. Sta
tions in other National Forests will be
esta blished later, and it is the intention
ultimately to have at least one expert
ment station in each of the silvioultur-
al regions of the West.
