SCHOOLS OPEN SOON
ShOshone Schools Open the Sth
of September

The public schools of Shoshone will
open September Sth, and the outlook
for the ensuing school year is the
brightest in the history of the city.
New seats and desks of the latest de-
sign have been provided for the high
school room and the room in the stone
building has been made as pleasant and
comfortable as any in the other build
ings The costly pictures obtained dur
ing the closing months of the past year
adorn the walls of the various rooms
and will give pleasure and inspiration
to the pupils of the whole school, as
they come within the radius of their
potent, though silent, influence. An
extra room will be fitted up for the use
of the library and laboratory, which
was made necessary by the addition of
the extra grade.
Prof. w. C. Thompson, whose labors
for several years have brought the
schools up to their present state of eff
ficiency, still heads the faculty, and he
will be aided by a corps of teachers
whose ability has been tested in the
school room and whose scholarship is
beyond the requirements of the position
they hold.
The following is the official list of the
teachers employed:
Prof W. c. Thompson, supt. and
principal of high school.
Miss Ruth E. Leete, assistant prin-
cipal of high school
Miss Alma Thompson, teacher 7th
and Sth grades.
Miss Orena Crabtree, teacher 5th and
9Th grades.
Miss Lula Wheeler, teacher Srd and
4th grades
Miss Blanch Gwin, teacher primary,
north side.
Miss Fern Fuld, teacher primary,
south side.

WERE RUNNING SOME
Team Came Dashing Into ShoshOne
at Lively Rate

Quite a serious runaway occurred
Tuesday morning on the road leading
into Shoshone from the west. 1t seems
that Chas. T Manning hired the team
of the Palace livery barn in Shoshone,
Monday morning, and drove through
jerome and Wendell to Gooding where
he put up for the night. AS Mr.. Man
ming is located in the real estate busi-
ness at Gooding, business matters de-
tanned him there and he hired young
man named Wilcox to drive the team
to Shoshone Tuesday morning. Before
starting out Mr.. Wilcox took on board
a stranger who was hunting work and
wanted to try his luck in Shoshone. In
hitching up, the near horse was
placed on the off side, mistake that
often happens with livery teams. All
went well till the rig was approaching
Shoshone, when the horse on the off
side switched his tail over the line and
when the driver tried to jerk it out the
acimal kicked over the trace and also
over the line, and Immediately both
horses started on a dead run. The
stranger, taking fright, jumped out
with the result that one leg was broken,
and soon after the driver, seeing he had
no chance to control the team, also
jumped but without accident or injury
to himself. The team kept on their
reckless way till opposite the Journal
office the offending off horse slipped in
a puddle of mud, made where the street
sprinkler had recently been filed. and
fell sprawling under the tongue. This
of course brought the outfit to sudden
stop and before the down horse had
time to struggle, two men caught the
horses and quickly unlocked them from
the tongue of the buggy. On hitching
up again they drove back and brought
in the wounded man and the driver.

of large bodies of land hitherto barren
must also modify the distribution of
rainfall in that region.
1t is only in the eastern and central
portions of Lincoln county that large
bodies of land can be found that cannot
be irrigated and this part of the county
will in the course of few years be sur
rounded on three sides by vast area
of irrigated land aggregating from half
a million acres to six hundred thousand
acres.
It is reasonable to suppose that such
body of irrigated land supplemented
by still larger body on the south side
of the Snake river, will exert marked
change in climatic conditions that will
make dry farming in Lincoln, safe and
sure proposition.

1t was claimed by the defendant
company that its total indebtedness
was about S175, 600 and its assets close
$3.50, 600; that it had already expended
nearly $3.50, 600 on .he irrigation enter
prise and that only $50, 600 to S25, 90
would be necessary to complete its
system. It was affirmed that the
company had a means for raising the
amount necessary for finishing the
enterprise and that the intention was
to go ahead at orce and complete the
same.
Upon the showing made by the defen-
dant company, Judge Walters refused
to appoint q receiver.

WILL STORE THEIR CLIP
Wool Growers Association Plans
TO Build Warehouse

Fred W. Gooding, president of the
National Wool Growers Association,
has been in Salt Lake City this week
attending meeting Of the executive
committee of that organization.
1t seems that the sheep men of the
west have undertaken movement that
will enable them to hold full control of
their wool product, the plan being to
establish a storage center in city to
be decided on later. Chicago, Omaha,
St. Joseph, Kansas City, and Denver
are bidding for the location.
After full discussion of the plan,
resolutions were finally adopted approx
ing of central storage and market
city to be designated by special COM
mittee This committee, which will be
appointed later by President Gooding,
will have full power to designate the
city to be named as the storage center,
to create corporation and to make all
arrangements for the storing of next
years Western clip without further in
structions from the legal committee.
The executive committee of the
National Wool Growers Association
has shown due appreciation of the abil-
ity and integrity of President Gooding
by delegating to him the appointing of
of which he is eX-ofiicio
chairman, with full power to carry out
the will Of the association in all mat
ters relating to the new enterprise.

IlI-The Constructive Party-lt Organ
ICES the National Will
In the evolution by which party gov
ernment has become the extra-constu-
tional method of securing responsibility
to the people, the Republican Party has
become their traditional representative
and the Democratic Party the organized
aspiration of individuals for power with
out responsibility. Fairly tried, from
1893 to 1895, the two Democratic
Houses ard the Democratic President
were wild team" and helpless
driver Democracy agitates local diff
ferences, Republicanism organizes the
National idea. In 1863 the people were
committed to the cause of human lib
erty; the idea of Liberty and Union
expended for the first time into the
reality of the American nation.
In 1879 money was committed to
specie basis; specie was at once, until
1893, no longer sought, and government
bonds went to a premium at the reduced
rate of interest. In 1896 business men
were again committed to confidence;
before a single statute was enacted
prosperity set in and in ten years bank
deposits almost trebled "a permanent
gain which the recent panic, state
of mind" now completely dspelled,
scarcely touched. In 1906 business was
committed to fair methods; without
compuls;on violations largely ceased.
The Republican Party, at each period,
sounded the pubic conscience, felt the
National pulse, framed its policies in
response, and realized in law the domi-
nant American idea. Its constructive
past assures its constructive
future. 1t is to-day as it always has
been The Party fit to Govern.
IV-The Party of Statesmen.
The party of Craftsmanship, it has
been the training school of statesmen.
It's policies have been forged in the
heat of public discussion, tempered in
in the deliberation and shaped in the
conflict Of many trained minds, and
drawn and finally wrought for the
country's welfare. Dominating its
members through principles, it assures
unity il Government; its staunchest
partisans have made the greatest con
tributions to National progress. The
roster of its leaders is the national roll
of honor of public service.
V-Taft and Sherman Constructive Can
didates A Constructive Platform.
Republicanism stands to-day for pro
gressive policies in safe hands. BY
solving the constructive problems of
world power in the last two administra
tions, William H. Taft taught the world
our capacity and US his own. In all
constructive legislation for twenty years
James S. Sherman has been a leader.
In the records 70 the Republican candi
dates as well as in the platform are
written the story of the nations prog
ress and the reliance of the future.
A Democratic President or a Demo
cratic House would turn back those
pages; thereafter Organism would re-
cord Destruction This the Republi-
can Senate could not prevent. Under
Taft and Sherman and a Republican
the great progress of the past
will be held and the greater progress Of
the future will be assured

GOODING'S NEW BUSINESS FIRM
Idaho investment Co. Enters Field
Under Able MANAGEMENT

The Idaho Investment company has
opened its Offices for business in Good
ing. This is firm composed of Hill
City, Kansas, people and is under the
direct management of A. E. Thompson
and Bert Fink. The members of this
firm are all heavy investors in Idaho
property They are largely interested
in Lincoln county and in Gooding.
They are hustlers for business and are
here to make some money for them
selves as well as to make money for
their customers.
The managers are young men Of ex-
ceptional ability and energy. They
have been in Idaho long enough to
make themselves thoroughly familiar
with the conditions here and to be able
to form an accurate judgment based
upon these conditions.
Just now there is great tide of
immigration to Idaho from the east
and but few Of those coming have ever
had the slightest experince with ir-
rigated lands and irrigation conditions.
Such parties must either invest on
their faith in the integrity Of the man
who knows the country or must come
here on trial and remain long enough
to acquire the experience necessary
form a good judgment of the future
based upon the conditions peculiar to
the Snake river valley. The managers
of this new company have acquired the
knowledge necessary to make their
judgment of value to the prospective
settler who is ignorant Of the peculiar
met here in the Snake river
valley. The Journal can assure with
the greatest confidence the new conner
that this firm will give each one a
square deal and the benefit of their
personal experience and knowledge Of
our section of country. In addition to
all the above these two young men

The Secretary Of War Straightens
Out the Middle in the
Isthmian Affair.
He SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS
Sidetracks Threatened War with Co.
Ionbia and Takes Kinks Out
of Canal.-Land Titles
in the Zone.

Panama, May 11.-Ever since his
arrival here Secretary Taft has been
busy holding conferences with Pres
ident Amador, Foreign Secretary
Arias. Senior Arrange, the Panama
minister to the United States; Mr..
Squiers, the American minister to
Panama, and w, Nelson Cromwell
counsel for the Panama railway.
The conferences were finished yes
terday. They covered many topics in
connection with the proposed treaty
between Colombia, Panama and the
United States.
While details are lacking. it is sta
ted that tentative accord has been
reached upon important points and
that decisions with refernce to 9TH
ers only await special inquiries now
in progress.
The result of the conference it is
announced, is satisfactory to all par
ties concerned. Colombia's recent
seizure of Jurago, on the frontier
involved in the general boundary
question between the two countries,
has been fully considered. The
Panaman government has agreed to
the suggestion made by Mr.. Taft to
withhold all action until the secre-
tary of war has had an opportunity
personally to confer with President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State Eli
hu Root.
One of the most important ques-
tions affecting the canal zone has
been to determine the titles of indi-
vidnal occupants of land in the zone
and the valuation of lands appropri-
| ated for certain national uses.
| Until now an adjustment has been
| impossible, but a solution has been
! reached by which an arbitration
tribunal will be constituted under
! the existing treaty. This tribunal will
have the power to determine al
questions as to valuation and lega
titles. 1t will be composed of two
citizens of the United States and two
citizens of Panama, with Governor
t Magoon of Cuba as umpire
/ Secretary Taft expects to conclude
/ his business relative to the canal ad
ministration and inspection today
and will sail for the United States
Tuesday morning.

WELL UP WITH THE WORK
The House Has but Two Supply
Measures to Act On and the
Senate Is Not Far
Behind

Washington, May 1.-THE supply
bills of congress, in which appropria-
tions are to be made for the support
of the government for the next fiscal
year beginning July |, are in such
condition in both houses that If no
complications arise in connection
with other legislation it will be. pos
sible to reach final adjournment by
May 25. There are fourteen of these
general measures, carrying an ag-
gregate of almost $1,000, 900, 600,
and of these the house of representa-
tives, in which all of them originate,
has passed twelve-all excepting the
military academy and the general
deficiency bill. Both of these carry
comparatively small sums, both are
of such character that they seldom
arouse opposition and both could be
disposed of in very brief order, if
necessary.
The senate is not SO we'll along as
it could be because that body must
necessarily take up the bills after
they have been considered and pass
ed upon by the house. The senate is,
however, unusually close upon the
heels Of the lower body and in addi-
ton to the deficiency and academy
bills it has left only the postoffice
and the sundry civil bills. These,
however, are two of the largest of
the appropriation bills, carrying, as
they do, between them about one

Coins and Medals.

Frankfort-on-the-M Main, May IL
Several wealthy American nuisma-
lists have sent agents here to bid on
the offerings at the Ulex auction of
North, Central and South America,
which was commenced here today. 1t
is expected that record-breaking pri-
ces will be realized for some of the
rarities.
One of the interesting brass coins
to be sold is what is supposed to
have been the first coin issued in
America, which is ascribed to Sir
Walter Raleigh's unsuccessful at

larger than a half dollar and of great
rarity.

THE LEGISLATORS GATHERING
Governor Hughes Confident And-Race
Track Gambling Bill VIII Win.

Albany, n. Y, May 11.-New
York legislators are gathering in Al
bany today to resume the fight for
and against the anti-race track
gambling bills, which will probably
be the only important measures con-
sidered during the special session
called by Governor Hughes, opening
tonight Apparently there is little
change in the attitude of the mem
bers of the legislature. The special
election in the NiaearaOrleans sem
atorial district tomorrow, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Sem
ator Franchot, Is expected to break
the tie vote on race track gambling
but whether it will result in the
passage of the bill is yet uncertain.
Governor Hughes is confident of vic
tory, and believes that public senti-
ment Will force the passage of the
measure.

GR0CERS Of THE NATION MEET
The National Retail Crocers Associa-
ton Meets in Annual Convention.

Boston May 11.-Delegations of
grccers from resrly every state and
territory of the union and from
every lareg city between Boston and
San Francisco are in the Hub today,
attracted by the annual convention
of the National Retail Grocers as
sociation. Beginning today with the
registration of delegates and the
transaction of preliminary affairs,
the convention will last through to-
morrow, Wednesday and Thursday,
In addition to the accredited dele
gates, hundreds of individual mem
bers are present and will enjoy all
privileges, except the right to vote.
1t is likely that spirited contest
will develop over the election of a
new president, as several states have
candidates in the yield. The selection
of place for next years convention
will also occupy much of the time
and attention of the delegates. Sew
eral cities are in the field, but the
choice apparently lies between Port
land. Ore, Seattle and other far
western cities.

The Victory of TAFT in kentucky
Convinces Friends that the
Fight Is Futile.
THE NOMINATION Of TAFT
With Fairbanks Out Of the Race In
dianas Thirty Votes VIII Go to
TAFT Column.-Hughes
Chances Slim.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 1.-THE
developments of the last week, es-
pecially the overwhelming Taft vic
tory in Kentucky, have convinced the
friends of Vice President Fairbanks
that there is no possibility OF his
nomination, and it Is expected that
he will quietly drop out of the race
without any formal announcement
of his withdrawal.
Outside of arranging for head
quarters at Chicago, the Indiana
friends of the vice president have
not been active for more than a
week, and it is said that the plan of
sending men to other states to con-
fer with delegates has been aban-
doned, and unless there should be a
radical change in the situation be-
fore the delegates assemble at Chi
cago the name of Fairbanks will not
be presented to the convention.
Some of the more conservative
friends of the vice president have
felt from the start that he could
stand little chance with an admins
tration candidate in the field, and
as the selection of delegates has pro-
gressed with odds increasing against
him they would have advised him to
quit the field but for the fact that
such advice might be construed into
disloyalty. At one time Gov. Hughes
could have gotten a majority of the
delegates as second choice, but with
the growing certainty of Taft's nom
! ination members of the delegation
have been gradually turning to the
secretary of war, and If Fairbanks
withdraws the thirty Indiana votes
! will go to the Taft column.
