COMPANY C RETURNS.
Target Practice shows Many Good
Shots.

ShOGS.
The first battalion of Idaho militia
which has been at Fort Wright, near
Spokane, for 10 days encampment.
finished target practice yesterday and
broke camp this morning. The mil
itiamen were tried out in the highest
courses. the sharpshooter and expert
riflemen classes. Major Edelblute
! and Jos. Shadduck took sharpshoot-
ers medals, Their work in the
marksmen shoot was excellent and is
said to place Idaho boys above the
average militia battalion. over 60
per cent of the men in the Idaho con-
tingent qualifying as marksmen. The
solid gold medal offered by Governor
Gooding to the soldier making the
best target record during the encamp-
ment was awarded to Private Archie
Melder of Company Il, Rathdrum.
Melder scored 119 points out of a
possible $50, the next best record be-
ing but one point below that of the
winner. The presentation of the
medal was made yesterday by Lieu
tenant Colonel E. Nj. Hoover, com
handing the First battalion of Idaho
militia.
Colonel Hoover expressed himself
as highly pleased with the progress
made during the encampment of the
Idaho troops, both in target practice
and in drill efficiency. He said that
1t had been a great advantage to the
militia to be able to work in conjunc-
ton with the regulars, and he is con.
fident that his men will make a good
showing when they arrive at Ameri-
can lake on August 16 to participate
in the maneuvers which are being ar
ranged for both regular and state
troops.
The Idaho companies broke camp
at 4 O'Clock this morning, taking the
train over the Northern Pacific for
their homes in Occur d'Alene. Rath-

GOTCH DEFEATS ROLLER.
worlds Champion outclasses Seattle
Man In Two Falls.

MAN I'M Two Falls.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 2.-Frank
Gotch of Humboldt, Iowa, maintained
his right to the worlds catch-as.
catch-can wrestling championship
last night when he outclassed DR.. b,
F. Roller of Seattle. wining two con.
secutive falls in Is minutes and "a
seconds, and 25 minutes a. d "a Sec
onds respectively.
The men entered the ring WEIGHING
close to 200 pounds each. Roller
may have been a pound or two heav-
Ter.
They went at it like bulls from
the start and Gotch was soon forcing
matters. He worked his notorious
toe hold six times In succession in the
first bout. Roller broke away each
time, but it wore him and finally
Gotch downed him with a crotch and
half-Nelson. Roller did better work
in the second bout but Gotch was
like a terrier after a rat, and went
from hold to hold with startling re-
pidity Rollers best work in this
round was to break half-Nelson and
crotch after seemingly helplessly
downed. He was finally picked up
and dumped to his shoulders from the
same hold.
1t is doubtful il Roller was really
downed, but 1t was only a question
of moments anyway, as he was at
Gotch' mercy.
Eddie Gaffney of Seattle was ref
cree.
Owing to the high prices the crowd
was not more than 5000.
Gotch was unattended and Roller
had Joe Carol. Gotch's former in
structor and manager behind him.
The seats sold for IS, $40 and SIS
each.
Considering the fact that more than
a years ago Gotch and Roller wrest-
led in Seattle without Gotch throwing
Roller once in an hour, surprise and
disappointment were expressed after
the match last night. Roller put up
game match, but he at no time
showed class, and Gotch handled him
with ease and confidence throughout.
Whether or not there will be a re-
turn match is unknown at present.
Confidential friends of Roller stated
recently that whether he won or not
last night he would not meet Gotch
again for at least a year.

which totally destroyed the gener-

Hester & Co. The fire started
about 1880 p. m. in bed room
over Sigurdson & Torgenson's
store from a defective aue, and
had it not been for strong wind
blowing from the north the whole
town would have been in danger.
The two buildings were located on
the south side of the street and no
other damage was done.
On going to press we were un-
able to learn the amount of insur-
ance carried, but were informed
by a local party that they were
pretty we'll insured. The total
loss on both buildings and stocks
will amount to about $4,000.

No Hard Times.

The panic in New York is certain.
ly at an end. Banks are full o1
money again. People will be more
cautious than hitherto, and plungers
will not be able soon again to gel
the money and credit upon which
they have run riot for five years
past. But industry will soon return
to a sound basis, and the apprehen
sion entertained by many that the
country was in for another long per
iod of depression and hard times
has no actual foundation.
This deliverance is due to sound
money standard-that is, to sure
maintenance of the gold basis-and
to the vast productive energies OF
the country, whose activities have
been scarcely interrupted. Some
manufacturing Establishments still
are running on shortened time or
with fewer workmen, but most of
these are gradually recovering. The
great agricultural interest, which is
the basis of everything, is at the
very top of prosperity.
1t is noticeable in exports. 1t is
almost beyond credence that our ag-
ricultural exports for the year 1907
reached the prodigious total of $967,.
33S,447-nearly one thousand mil
lion dollars. During December the
exports reached value of $126,S51 =
097-an excess of more than $2,O0O,-
600 over the exports of December,
1906. The gold recently imported
to restore our money market was
paid for by the exports of Decem-
ber alone.
The great exports are wheat, corn,
cotton, meats and tobacco. There
are many others, but these hold the
lead. We shall not only continue
general production on the vast scale
of last year, but shall increase it.
The world wants the commodities;
its markets will take all we produce,
and consumption is SO large, SO
steady and sure, that there can be
no apprehension of serious fall of
prices.
1t is impossible to find any just
ground for the pessimistic belief ex-
pressed awhile ago that another ex-
tended period of depression was
ahead OF us. 1t was only a plungers'
or gamblers panic.-Evening Times.

SENATOR HANS
BR0UGH AS A
TRUST BUSTER
International Harvester Company
Trust Ought to be Brought
Before the Courts.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2e-
Senator Hansbrough of North Da-
kota, who is feeling the heavy
hand of the harvester trust and
who is determined that the Inter
national Harvester Go. shall be
prosecuted in the courts, unmerci-
fully aayed the makers of harvest
er machinery in a speech which
attracted a great deal of attention.
He traced the organization of the
trust, which he stated was formed
in August, 1902. There were
some eight or ten separate COM
panies engaged in the manufacture
Of harvester machinery at that
time and an effort was made to get
these different constituent compa-
nies together, which was finan-
cially successful and the Interna-
tional Harvester trust organized
under the laws of New Jersey, with
a capital of sl2O,OOOOOO. About
the same time the International
Harvester trust of America with Il
capital Of 81 100000, was organized
under the laws of Wisconsin, by
the same men, the stock of the
smaller company being held by
the larger one. This organization
the senior senator of North Dakota
says, was an evasion of the federal
law by having the manufacturing
company organized under the laws
of one state and the distributing
or selling company organized under
the laws of another state.
At the time this monopoly was
created, according to Senator
Hansbrough, the average price of
a self-binder to farmer in his
section of the country was from
$95 to $l05. Today the same
machine costs the farmer $145,
and reports are in circulation that
the price of machines will be put
at $3.50 for the present year. In
North Dakota, which produces
over Sl0O,OOO,OOO worth of grain
every year, wheat, barley, oats,
flax, the farmers are obliged to
purchase about 10000 binders
every year. "The price of these
bi 1ders," he said. "has been adj
vanced since 1902 from about 500
to about $3.50 and it was his de-
liberate judgment that the Inter-
national Harvester Go. proposed
to extend its operations to every
class of farm machinery
