On Wednesday April a much need
ed rain fell. The water fairly poured
down, soaking everything. much to the
satisfaction of one special farmer who
had just finished planting a seven
acre field of cantaloupes twenty min
utes before the storm began.
Republican resolutions were adopted
as follows on April goth at the primar-
les. Resolved, First, That we are in
hearty accord with the policies Of the
present Republican administration, and
believe they should be continued In the
same vigorous manner in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is carrying them out.
Second, That we believe William III.
Taft is the logical, most able and the
best fitted person to succeed President
Roosevelt and carry out these policies
and that we therefore favor his nomi-
nation and election.
Third, That we favor 1.-THE general
principle of guaranteeing bank de-
posits.
Fourth, That we are strongly in fav-
or Of local option and advocate the en-
actment of local option law by the
next Idaho legislature.

ia or timothy. Last winter Mr.. Dunn

fed. seeking to sell the alfalfa hay that
was In the valley. Nearly always the
reply was, Cant use alfalfa quote us
/. prices on timothy" On inquiry Mr..
Dunn found that timothy always sold
from SIC to $40 ton in Seattle and
Portland. Timothy when baled is us
staple as wheat, said Mr.. Dunn. 1t can
be shipped to Portland and Seattle and
from there all over the world. and It is
not necessary to depend on the sheep
men for its sale.

IT does not follow that the man who
believes that Cleveland can carry the
country over all comers is necessarily a
Cleveland man. That is merely mat
ter of Judgment as to where the bal
ance of the political sentiment and
power in this country lays. There are
people who recognize Mr. Cleveland's
policy and platform as winners; but
who would yield to defeat rather than
secure victory along those lines. Mr..
Cleveland himself chose defeat for the
party rather than victory along lines
that he believed would be ruinous to
the country. 1t is differences of this
kind that involve the whole essence of

crop.
Miss Giles says the general condi-
ton Of the crop Is Is per cent better
this year than last. Remember this
Is only guess work with her and Is n
guess that Is far wrong. She gets pay
for this guessing.
The European mills now want cot
ton and they will need 100000 bales
more of American cotton this year
than they have been using. The Egyp-
tian and India crop is 100000 bales
short and they have been getting
most OF that cotton.
High grade cotton is scarce, not
enough to fill orders that have been
contracted for. Holding off the mar
ket has been the cause Of the rise.
Boys. If you hold, the minimum
will come, so do the right thing at
the right time, hold; remember corn
is $1.00 cash now, still plenty OF time
to plant yet, so raise enough food
crops to do you next year.
