PRESERVATION OF THE FALLS
HOPES OF NEGOTIATING
TREATY WITH CANADA.
Opposition to Extending the Burton
Law-Ambassador Bryce
Going to Ottawa.

Persistent efforts are to be made in
Congress to prevent the re-enactment Of
what is known as the Burton law, passed
in 1906, governing the disposition of the
waters of the falls against the encroach-
ment of commercial enterprise. 1t was
destined, as a purely temporary measure
to be supplanted by general convention
or treaty on this subject between the
United States and Canada. and which is
intended to cover also the disposition
Of other waters forming boundary line
between the two countries. The Burton
law expires in less than year and a
half.
Those opposing its re-enactment for ten
years, as is proposed in some quarters.
declare this is distinct advantage to
the Canadians, who, because such
large portion Of the falls are on the
Canadian side Of the river. are content to
let existing conditions remain, In prefer.
ence to agreeing to a treaty which will
restrict the privileges they now enjoy.
For this reason, 1t is argued. the law
should not be re-ehacted. as there VIII
De greater incentive to delay IN the exc
the Canadians.
Long-Pending Negotiations.
The question of the signing of a treaty
covering the disposition of all the water
ways between the two countries has been
pending between the United States and
Great Britain for a long time. Some
time this month Ambassador Bryce of
Great Britain is going to Ottawa for
consultatio with the Canadian authori-
les. but whether or not this will develop
nto active steps toward the formation of
a treaty on the general subject Is not
stated.
The international waterways commission.
which is made up of members from the
United States and Canada, has turned In
a mass Of information on the whole ques-
ton. which has been laid before the two
for their consideration. The
United States government is anxious that
some disposition shall be reached in the
whole matter and that at an early date.
It wants treaty prepared and ratified
at this session of Congress If possible.
At the same time, it is desirable that
this shall be accomplished so that the
Canadian parliament may act in the mat
ter. All this should be done before June
Of next year. when the present Burton
law expires by limitation.
A failure to reach an understanding in
the form of a treaty between the two
at an early date will necessitata
the passage of some form of legislation
extending the present lava resort to
which is bitterly opposed by some New
York interests.

HANDLING vo;Mc ANIMALS.
Much Depends Isse EARLY Training
and Care.

All farm animals by instinct and
Inheritance are Wild when born They
are timid In the presence OF man.
Little pigs and chickens will run and
try to hide at the approach of human
beings II is the instinct Of self
preservation Wild animals were
hunted by man. and this dim inherit.
ed memory in our young domestic
animals tells them to fee when the
enemy approaches.
There is also an inherited instinct
In domestic animals Of mans care, i'm
planted in their minds through few
generations of association with hui
man beings. BY reason Of this latter
Inherited remembrance all domestic
animals may be easily tanned II taken
In hand when young The time to be-
gin Is when the animals are but day
old. The sooner work Is begun with
them the sooner and better will they
submit to human treatment An old
animal which has never been handled
during its infancy Is very difficult to
tame. A striking illustration OF this
Is in the case of western horses
brought to the agricultural states
They are very difficult to tame and
break to work because they have
never been handled, but have led a
wild life all through their growing
period. Some western horses are
never fully broken, their wild traits
coming to the surface even in adj
vanced years.
It Isl very unpleasant, and often
dangerous, to have animals ABOUT the
farm that are always running away,
kicking, butting, biting, bueking and
host Of other tricks which we call
mean. These habits are mean from
our point of view, says Farmers
Voice. but probably virtue from
the animals point OF view They are
giving back what they have re-
ceived. II they had been kindly
handled, sheltered and fed regularly
during their young, growing period,
they would have been gentle when
they grew to maturity When an ami
NAL forms a habit, either good or bad,
that habit is a part Of its life as long
as IT lives,
l, The quiet, gentle animal is the one
in which there is the most money.
This is true Of horses, cows-either
dairy or eef-hogs, sheep and poul-
| try The absolutely gentle horse Is
almost priceless farm animal No
success can be made with dairy cows
unless they are perfectly gentle. an
beef cattle must feel contented and
gentle to take on profitable flesh. The
wild, timid hog will not fatten like
| the tame one. 1t is similarly true OF
all other farm animals. No domestic
animal that is always afraid will
prove profitable All animals should
be trained so that the presence of hu-
man beings will not brighten them.
they should be taught confidence in
our treatment
Animals appreciate kindness ard hui
man sympathy, even more than we
suspect 1t is possible to be kind to
animals. and vet not sympathetic. II

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

The Shoshone Journal In COM
menting on women suffrage In Ida
no and other western states, asks
this pertinent question:
It is perhaps strange thing that
the western states that have women
suffrage have been the slowest to-
take any action on the question. It
has been asserted from time imme-
mortal that once the women we're
given the ballot, the saloon and kin
dred evils would vanish like the dew
OF bright summer morn. 1t has
not been so, in any of the universal
suffrage states. But the change has
come through extraneous reasons,
apparently, in which \, there is no
question Of sex. It would be inter-
esting to know to what extent wom-
an suffrage has influenced the pres
emit attitude; and If it has any influ-
ence, why it was so long coming.
Generally speaking women Of the
western suffrage states are as reti-
cent in grasping the moral and po-
litical situation and about as neg
ligent and incapable of moving out
after and settling great issues as are
their mighty lords. Adopting the
tactics of these so-called lords here
in America where a lordship's infiu-
ence goes out like ripple from
stone east into the sea the new wom-
en-, those given the ballot without
realizing it's serious import and eff
feet, has been inclined to go in the
wake Of the majority. at least this
is the lesson read in the political
history Of Idaho, And 1t was per-
haps a sinister power that has
checked this influence to which the
Journal refers and which opened
wide the door through which other
subtle but dangerous evils might
walk and reign unbridled. This IS
what has occurred. but 1T Is hardly
conceivable how an incubus revolt
ing to the delicate sensibilities OF
womanhood can longer be supinely
tolerated The saloon is bad, but
an ecclesiastical belief that sanctions
polygamy is much worse and a fit
associate of the slums. 1t would
be interesting to- know just how far
this influence is traceable among
woman suffrage In Idaho. That IT
has been broad and steadfast, the
long years and present environments
attest. It also indicates In that
change has come" that either the
women have nearly all become Wild
ows, the daughters old maids, or
have in some miraculous manner
broken away from the impotency OF
"home rule" or that the sacred ha-
biliments of the church Mormon have
been withdrawn from around the sa.
loon to be wrapped around other
idols. I'M.

the person who handles them is truly
sympathetic, the response these dumb
creatures give is something truly Won
derful. Some people even love their
animals, especially horses and dairy
cows. 1t is difficult to draw the line
between sympathy and love, but the
farmer who is sympathetic in the
handling of his stock is the one who
will succeed with them. We should
have feeling for our domestic animals.
