Press and Comment
An Arid Land Plan.

The Pocatello Tribune tells what official of the
state is doing in demonstration of experiment
that may prove of inestmabe value to Idaho The
Tribune mentions the work with enthusiasm
Every farmer in the arid districts of southern
Idaho will watch with much interest the experiment
shortly to be made by DR.. c. A. Hoover superin-
tendent in charge of the state aspum for the insane,
who has purchased enough cuttings of the much
advertised spneless cactus to plant ten acres of sand
hills on the asylum farm If this wonderful plant,
which has been given to the world by Wizard Bur-
bank, does half it is claimed to do it will solve
suddenly the problem of dry farming. There
hundreds of thousands of acres of arid land in
Idaho located to be impossible of irrigation
This land is largely used now range If it
can be converted into fields of the Burbank cactus
it will be able to support hundred times sheep
and cattle than it does Therefore, the expert
ment to be made by DR.. Hoover at the asylum farm
will be of utmost interest to the state.
When the non-irrgabe tracts transformed
into pastures for the wool bearing species, sheep
men will forget the tribulations from which they
suffer on account of the guardianship the Govern
ment has assumed over the forest pastures 1t is
claimed by practical sheep growers that without the
Burbank plant ranch fed sheep profitable
enough to stimulate the growth of the industry.
With the plant, if it up to expectation, wool
and mutton flocks will become a bonanza.

The Case of Mr.. Bra dy.

According to the Mountainous Republican
the gubernatorial nominee of the chairman of the
Republican State committee has a to settle
with the balance of the party That paper alleges:
The charge is being made less ndi-
rectly, by those who opposing the candidacy of
James H. Brady for the governorship, that Mr..
Brady was, to certain extent, responsible for the
failure of the Republican majority in the last Leg
islature to carry out the partys platform pledges
to the people This charge is a serious one and if
true should mark him as down and out so far as
the governorshp is concerned. We trust that the
charge will be fully appreciated by Mr.. Brady's
opponents and his friends, for unless we much
mistaken the truth fasity of this charge will be
the deciding point in his campaign.
Having taken all the degrees in the order of the
machine, Mr.. Brady may have understood that party
pledges are intended only for platform purposes
when they made by duly accredited political
ganization that wears the brand of the boss. Some
thing in the way of pledges valuable cleo
ton day, but after that critical event has gone into
the past, the sophisticated manager believes it is
time to give them rest 1t is presumptious to
assume that Mr. Brady intends to explain.

II Land Boom.

In the southern portion of Idaho land boom is
that is bringing investors into that section in
large numbers. The American Falls Press tells
part Of the story:
At Twin Falls recently gentleman sold 100
two miles from town for $4,000. Three years
ago this was sagebrush land, without any improve
ments whatever Other sales there have been made
at a higher figure. Town lots at Twin Falls and
other towns have increased in value from hundreds
to thousands of dollars. On the American Falls
tract sale was recently made at $63 per acre, and
another gentleman refused 500 for his holdings, both
tracts being practically unimproved This section
is too and undeveloped however, to have fixed
values, and there many who willing to sell
at profit of from SIS to $40 acre Such cases
present genuine opportunities, within the reach of
comparatively poor men, that unequalled in the
older States. The of increased values will come
it does to all irrigated sections Small fortunes
will be realized from farm lands, and investment
in American Falls town property will pay more in
three years than the amount invested in Gov
eminent bonds in lifetime.

the women folks will be coming to town along with
their husbands Among the good features of these
trading days are that, the communities being new
it will give opportunity for the people to become
better acquainted and they will talk methods
of farming the kind of crops they find the most
profitable, their various methods of applying water
and a thousand other topics which they will find
sharp traders and will develop many David Harums
whether in the "hoss swapping" line or in exchang-
ing varieties of poultry.
Anything that will bring the people together is
worth encouraging. If they come together to trade
they can ming1e business with pleasure and they
will find that both profitable. The bane of rural
life is its loneliness and that be relieved by ap-
pointing specified times and places for coming to-
gether and then scrupulousy meeting the engage
ments little experience of this sort develops the
gregarious instinct of and he soon looks forward
to market day as a valuable period of recreation

What Every Voter Knows.

The Weiser American is plain spoken news
paper and IN its conscientious desire to promugate
truthful information it says
1t is really amusing to read in the columns of the
capital News its vtuperations and frothngs of the
mouth against its so-called boss rule in the Demo
cratic party in Idaho, when every citizen of the State
knows that sheet is ruled by the Mormon hierarchy
over, every voter in Idaho knows the Capital News
IS not Democratic paper, that it has opposed the
Democratic party ever since its publication begun
and now 1t has the temerity and unlimited gall to
attempt to dictate to the Democrats of Idaho what
course they shall pursue in the coming campaign.

In lines of delightsome extravaganza, the Mead

Down in the southern part of Idaho it is not at

land, build temporary shelter, in with his

awake in the morning and find himself resident of
a thriving little city, with modern and up to date
business establishments Schools churches and homes

having anything to sell swap can come on these
days and meet each other and make deals They
became popular from the start, and now the mer-

Unrestricted Liquor Traffic.

A recent decision of the Federal Supreme Court
corresponding with decisions that relate to other
surrendered Indian reservations, asserts that Gq
uor can be sold on land that comprised the
Nez Perez reservation in Northern Idaho. The de-
cision was based on old Indian treaties in the Nez
Perez case as we'll in other Newspapers of
that section rejecting public sentiment probably do
not take kindly to the arrangement made obliga-
tory by the action of the court. The Nez Perez
Herald says:
The United States Circuit Court has reversed the
decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in the ia
nous Dick case and license will no longer be
granted to sell liquor within the present boundaries
of the former Nez Perez Indian reservation The
Supreme Court is, of course not aw-mak1ng body,
but simply passes upon the legality of the laws that
have been made and their decision on this no doubt
is in accordance with the treaty and the law, and
there is nothing left to do but to obey the law, re-
CARELESS of whether it will be benefit or detri-
ment to the section of the country affected Review
ing the conditions of the past at this place The
Herald can see but little to be gained Tor us here
by this decision. No deny that the condi
tons have been at least 100 per cent better since
have had licensed saloons in moral way besides
the benefits the town and schools have received from
the license The Herald does not mean to say that
the country would be better off that it would be
off if the sale or manufacture Of liquor was
stopped completely but to say 1t IS unlawful to sell
in small territory when they selling all around
only an invitation for certain class of people to
become law-breakerS.
r.
In similar vein the Cottonwood Chronicle dis
courses:
The decision of the United States Supreme Court
regarding the operation of saloons on the Nez Perce
reservation may be all right from some points OF
view but is decidedly bad for the country affected
The saloons are being operated by responsible
men, who give bonds for the proper conducting OF
their business, pay nearly $4,000 yearly into the
country treasures and sell liquor that is pure as
is usually handed out the bar When these sa-
looms are closed this large revenue will be cut off,
the boot -leggers' will again resume business, rot
ten liquor will be in evidence everywhere and fully
as much liquor will be sold on the reservation as
there is under present conditions The boot-leggers"

will disregard United States laws and Sunday clos
ing laws alike, and will gather around them gang
of toughs and thugs who will terrorize every COM
munty where they do business If the closing OF the
saloons would do away with the liquor traffic on the
reservation it would be different matter, but it will
not do so.

in Training Schools.
As the result Of an opinion rendered
by the state attorney generals de-
partment the state board of control
ordered the discharge from the state
training school at Red Wing of all
girls committed from st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth who have reached
the age of eighteen years. Others are
to be discharged as soon as they reach
that age.
In all 103 girls committed from the
Twin Cities are involved and it will
Immediately affect about twenty-five
girls who will have to be discharged
at once. Indirectly affected are sew
eral hundred girls committed from the
country districts as to whom the law
as yet has not been construed.
The decision of the board and the
opinion, which was given by Assistant
Attorney General Peterson, followed a
decision given by Judge Williston of
the Goodhue county district court, in
which he ordered the release of Mary
Pittman, girl sent from st. Paul
Her relatives sued out writ of ha.
beas corpus, which was sustained. and
the legal department, after looking
into the matter, decided that an ap
peal would avail nothing.

North Shore Points Are Now
Considered Safe.
SETTLERS TO START ANEW
Will Be Able to Return to Their
Land Shortly to Rebuild
Their Homes.

A heavy rain has fallen at Grand
Marais, on the north shore, extending
westward from there fifteen or twenty.
miles. While not extinguished the
forest fires are held in check as re-
suit of the storm and Grand Marais,
Chicago Bay and other north shore
settlements that have thus far es
capped the flames are considered safe.
The steamer America has arrived
at Duluth FROM north shore points,
bringing this intelligence and the
further information that Mr.. Mon
ker and the seven Indians who
went with him to the assistance of the
settlers north of Grand Marais are
home again safe and sound. Shortly
after they left the north shore town
their retreat was cut off by the flames
and it was feared they might have
persisted. An avenue of escape was
left open to them to the northward,
however, and they got away from the
fire without much difficulty.
The America brought in only very
few refugees. It is believed the set
tiers will be able to return to their
land within week or two Practically
all of those burned out intend to start
in on their homesteads anew. With a
little outside assistance they will be
able to take care Of themselves nicely.

M0NTENEGRINs IN FIGHT
One Dead and Two Others Probably
-. Fatally Hurt.

One man dead and two others SO
badly injured that they may die was
the result of pitched battle between
Montenegrins in a boarding house at
the Mckinley mine location near
Biwabik- Some sixty shots were
fired, five of the participants being so
badly hurt they could not make their
escape. George Petanovich was
stabbed in the groin, death soon en-
suing. George Marshee, who also may
die, is accused of having cut Petano-
vich. George Rossonich had his arm
almost torn off. John and Steve Bus
solvich, brothers, were shot in the
face with small shot. Feeling against
the Montenegrins is SO strong that a
petition is being circulated asking the
Steel corporation to refuse employ
ment to them.

TWO WISCONSIN
TOWNS DESTROYED
Fierce Fires Raging In Forests
Of Badger State.

+ Rhinelander, Wis, Sept. 21.-The
towns Of Gagen and Woodboro have
been wiped out by forest fires. Both
are prosperous lumber towns on the
500 railroad.
Grave fears are entertained for the
safety of the refugees of Woodboro.
They started for Rhinelander but have
not reached here. It is feared they
may have been hemmed in by the
flames.
The fire started in the woods and
quickly reached Gagen and Woodboro
Men, women and children fought
valiantly to save their homes, but
without avail.
Gagen and Woodboro each had
about 1000 residents and nearly all
are homeless. Burned out of their
homes the people began fleeing from
the fire, which grew more dangerous
with each minute.
Women carrying children in their
arms and men and boys with packs
Oh their backs ran toward Rhineland-
er, many falling PROSTATE in the heat,
Only to be helped on by the stronger
refugees.
Nearly all of those burned out at
Gagen reached Rhinelander and are
being cared for. But few of the
! Woodboro people are here and it is
not known what has become of all of
them.
Citizens have decided to ask Gov.

threaten to destroy the forests.
