That Mr.. Brady will enter the
gubernatorial race with this sup
port is conclusion reached by the
writer after a careful reading Of the
editorial articles and political utter
views published by both Republican
and Democratic papers in Idaho.

Idaho Falls Times: The Times
has on its exchange list nearly every
paper in Idaho. Nearly every Re-
publican paper in the state favors
Taft as the presidential nominee.
One prominent paper is finding it
hard to give up the idea of nomi-
mating Roosevelt. Two, perhaps
three, have Hughes or LaFollette
preferences. Two of the three last
mentioned admit that the Idaho
delegates will be for Taft; and it
would take occult powers to ascer-
tain just what the editor of the
third thinks or wants.
AS to ]. H. Brady for governor,
one dissenting voice is heard among
the Republican papers Of southern
Idaho, and SO far as the Times has
noticed the north is unanimous.
1t is also noticeable that Mr..
Brady's candidacy is causing great
deal of uneasiness in the camp OF
''our friends, the enemy" and a
number of Democratic papers are
announcing numerous reasons why
he should not be nominated. How
ever, in all this flow of patriotic
eloquence the Times has failed to
notice any mention Of the one big
reason why the Democrats do not
wish to see Mr.. Brady nominated
by the Republicans. That reason
is this: ]. H. Brady will be nomi-
mated and will enter the actual
campaign with a stronger, more
united, more loyal, and more vigor-
Gus support from the rank and file
as we'll as from the official leaders
of the Republican party in Idaho
than has been vouchsafed in late
years to Republican candidate fol
governor of Idaho.

Snake River Valley Forty-Five
Years Ago.

Ihomas Y. Galloway OF Weiser,
was read before the Columbian
club, on "Idaho Day"
"When we compare the present
appearances of Snake river val
ley with what it was forty-five
years ago, the name, Dim Trail ;
would properly represent thecon-
ditions then prevailing.
"The first to come to Idaho
were the trappers and miners,
not homebuilders. The arid
plains, rock canyons, alkali val
leys and repulsive sagebrush pre-
scented anything but an inviting
prospect to those who had left
the golden prairies and shaded
meadows of the east or sequest-
cred valleys of the west. Few
even thought OF making a home
where all was desolation. The
demand for supplies in the mines
induced few to locate along the
water courses, where the alluvial
bottoms would produce hay and
garden truck. 1t was soon de-
monstrated that Idaho was an
ideal stock country, which Undue
ed stockmen to come from Ore
gon and California. Very few
ventured to bring their families.
"The wonderful transformation
soon to be wrought by irrigation
was not considered in the plans
of any.
This lack of knowledge, which
retarded progress for years, was
very unfortunatefor Idaho. Had
the millions ofdollars taken from
the mines been invested in build
ing homes and irrigating canals,
Idaho today would rank among
the wealthiest states in the union.
Many OF the avenues of prosperity
even now defined by dim trail
would be great thoroughfares.
The first settlers of Washington
county were typical of those of
other localities, the great major
ity being unmarried. Cabins
constructed of logs covered with
earth, without floors and with
windows and doors made of -four
sacks, were the first dwellings,
and school houses. Cooking was
done before open fires in mud
thatched chimneys; the light was
furnished by tallow dips or can
dies. Supplies were purchased at
Columbia river points or at Boise
and were transported overland
by pack trains or in wagons.
The only markets for farm pro-
ducts were the mines. A barrel
of sugar, a keg of syrup, a spool
of thread, paper of needles and
a plug of tobacco we're frequently
divided among the residents of a
neighborhood. There was woe
and many 'cuss' words when the
supply of tobacco was exhausted.
The young came into the world
and the sick we're cured without
the aid of a physician. The
necessity Of self-reliance made all
more careful, intelligent and use
full. In the absence of doctors
sickness was prevented rather

When Celt won the Brooklyn Handicap in
track record time last Monday, following bis
easy victory over Jack Atkin in the Jockey Club
Weight for Age Race a number Of good Judges
pronounced him better colt than his unbeaten
stable companion. the great Colin Celt ran a
brilliant race and there is telling just how
good he is but it does not seem TO be either fair
or reasonable to hail him as better horse than
Colin. which is unbeaten in fourteen starts ana
which has done everything required of him In
such an impressive and convincing way. In All
rrobahility the much mooted question viii never
be settled. There is hardly one chance in hfty
Of Jimmy Rowe starting them in the same race
as he did in the Flatbush Stakes last year and
II he did the result would not be decisive any
more than Il was in the Flathush. neither Mr-
Keene nor Jimmy Rowe would care TO have
Colin beaten even by his stable companion On
line through Fair Play August Belmont's good
and consistent three year-old. Celt and Colin are
not far apart. but there is something about
Collins way OF racing which is more impressive
and / for one. am not convinced that he has
ever been called on 10 do his best except in that
one race a year ago at Belmont Park, when.
suffering from bucked shins he had TO be
whipped out 10 beat Beaucoup a head. There
can be no question however, about Mr.. keene
