IDAHO RULES
SHEEP WORLD
From Sagebrush Beginning Industry
Has Advanced to Acme of
Perfection.

Idaho today rules the sheep
world, having gradually reached the
acme Of perfection from a sagebrush
beginning" F. J. Hagenbarth. presi-
dent of the Wood Livestock COM
pany, who organized the first wool
growers association in the state, de-
clared yesterday when interviewed in
the lobby Of the Idanha. Mr. Hagen
barth is accompanied on his trip to
Boise from Fremont county by SEN
ator j. W. Hart.
Development of the state is not
confined alone to any one line" he
said" A wonderful change is taking
place over the country in general
Farms are being opened up in che
Snake river valley until it is begin
ming to look like some of the older
settled, thicklier populated states.
There is an air of prosperity and i'm
provement everywhere.
Making special reference to sheep
husbandry and wool growing, the
higher tone and improved scale of
development which animates the bus
mess today is not appreciated or
thought of by the average observer.
Twenty years ago we used to send to
the market a class of mutton the peo-
pie could barely eat. They were aged
wethers, tough and unsavory. To-
day the very best mutton to be found
in the eastern markets and grills are
lambs that come from Idaho.
There was time when Vermont,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas ruled
the business. But these have all been
deposed in turn and Idaho today
rules the sheep world We not only
ship more lambs to market than any
other state in the Union, but we ship
better quality
This fact is recognized by such
stubborn judge as the Chicago pack
er, who pays right along from 20
cents to 40 cents per hundred weight
more for lambs raised in Idaho.
There is a reason for this. The
best brains of such men as ex-Gover-
nor Gooding, who has one of the best.
flocks of Lincoln thorough breds to
be found on the American continent;
A. G. Butterfield. who has become
recognized as one OF the best judges
and leading producers of bigh-class
stuff, and p G. Johnson of Blackfoot
who takes second place to none as a
producer, have been employed.
The Wood Livestock company of
Fremont county today owns not on
ly the largest but the best flock of
Hampshire Down sheep to be found
in the world. This company has i'm
ported from England this year about
400 head of purebred, registered an
imals, some of which cost 500 per
head. and they have, furthermore,
been importing from Canada and
abroad registered stun in large num-
bers. They have in their stud flock
ram which beat the exhibit of the (
king of England at the Smithfield |
show in England. They also have a
ram which won the sweepstakes
over all breeds at the
st. Louis fair.
1.-THE conclusion to be drawn from
this array of facts is that from
sagebrush beginning the state of Ida
no has reached the present acme of
perfection in mutton production and
is today leading the sheep world at
Its own game"

Peaceful Idaho.

In this peaceful western country
where all men have respect for the
law and where sheriffs and other Off
Gals spend their terms in Office with
out ever being called on to suppress
violence. it is impossible to realize
the stress and tumult OF the wild life
in the east, where the mere rudimen-
tary civilization prevails and the rule
Of might is the accepted law.
An Idaho man may travel on the
train from one part of the state to
the other and feel as safe as he would

nobody will modest him. providing
his individual drinking cup has been
inspected by the food commissioner.
OF course, accidents are possible, as
they are everywhere. A passenger
on the ierkwater from Boise to
Nampa was rather severely injured
near Meridian the other day when
a horse that was grazing on the right
of-way, reached through the window
and bit him on the arm. Such
thing as this will happen once in a
while, but there is absolutely no dan
ger from brigands or bandits and no
traveller ever thinks OF such con-
tingency
1t is far different in the far and
uncivilized east where bad men from
Sleepy Hollow or Hells Half Acre in
fest the gloomy canyons and aisles.
Robbers swoop down from their
mountain fastness and hold up trains
and fee with the booty muttering
demonic laughter
A few days ago the daily papers
contained dispatches from Pennsyl-
vania which show that England in
the days of Robin Hood was an Ar
cadia as compared with that state.
A train on the Pennsylvania railway
was rolled along a wooded country.
The heroic engineer knew that he
was carrying his life in his hands,
but he stuck to the throttle, which
is a sort of lever that heroic engin-
GERS always stick to in times that
try mems souls. The passengers had
swallowed their gold watches and
scarf pins and money. expecting to be-
robbed at any moment. Suddenly a

the fireman pack them through the

Kelvin. Ariz., July 2O.--(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- The Kelvin boys again demonstrated their ability to put it over the San Carlos Indians in Sundays game on the Kelvin diamond. the score being III to l, the Indians barely escaping 70 shut-out, getting their only run in the fourth inning, made by Hugh the pitcher for the Redskins. The game started off very nicely and promised to be closely contested. both sides playing errorless ball for three Innings, both twirlers, Crellin for Kelvin and Hugh for San Carlos. pitching very effective ball. Both sides were retired in one, two. three order until the beginning of the fate full (for the Reds) fourth, when the fireworks began, reminding us of the Fourth of July explosions.

County. Colorado. Friday October is 1909

prices have been pushed up to an alb
normally high level, which will greatly
curtail exports.
An enormous expansion in the pro-
duction of manufactured products has
occurred in recent years, but even re
ports of these have shrunk to some ex-
tent recently, owing to relatively high
er prices in the United states than in
Europe.
An additional complication in the
foreign trade situation arises from the
recent speculation in stocks. which has
been carried on with several million
dollars borrowed in Europe, according
to current repors in Wall street.
The foreign trade situation certainly
indicates that either prices of com,nod-
tiles and securities must fall to lower
level in the United States or advance
in Europe. Fort Collins Express.

Hill to Extend
the Burlington
to the Pacific.
Big Lumberman Says Rail-
way Magnate Told Him an
Extention From Wyoming
Would Be a Good Thing.

San Francisco, Oct. 9.--That J. J.
Hill is considering the extension of tho
Burlington railroad from Denver to the
Pacific coast is stated by 7. u. Walker,
Minneapolis millionaire, interested in
California timber lands. who has close
relations with tho railway magnet. Ho
s quoted as follows:
"ln talk we had recently, Hill told
me that he did not believe that linz
from San Francisco north would be of
great advantage, but that the extension
of the Burlington to this city. probably
from the end of the Cheyenne or Gusrn-
soy branch would be.
"This would make through line from
Chicago to San Francisco, with which
the Oregon trunk line could be connect.
ed at some point in northern California.
The line would give the Burlington
share of the Sacramento valley traffic,
and feeder might be built through the
San Joaquin valley. With the Oregon
trunk connection. another line would be
opened to eastern Washington. Idaho
and Montana. Denver Republican.

YUMA BOWS
TO PHILLIPS.
Last Saturday Was Scene of
Two Defeats for Home
Boys-Tired Out Cause
Second Defeat.
First Game Fine.

The base ball meet between the high
schools Of Phillips and Yuma counties
last Saturday, was another of the
usually enjoyable events which have
been arranged for between these two
schools for several years. The fact
hat Wray was compelled to play a
double header with only one pitcher,
while holyoke had two. ended dis
asterously for the Yuma county boys.
The first game was hotly contested
one, with score of 8 to 2 in favor of
the visitors. The result was questioned
owing to an error on the part of the
umpire in calling man safe at first
base. Protest was not made by the
home team, however, until after the
game and that gave the visitors the
decision. Otherwise the game nt the
Nod Of the ninth inning was q tie with
no scors2 70 2. i-ss--.siss----..-.sl,-s..-
Y The second game started of with the
same "snsppy" playing and, at the end
of the third inning. neither team had
scored. BY that time, "Sweds"
aason's pitching began to be less ef-
fective owing to his having to pitch the
second game and the score stood II to
2 in favor Of Phillips county at the end
Of the seventh inning.
The lineup in the first game for the
visitors was as follows; Correll, c;
Geo. Wilcox, p; Kelsey, ID; Wilson, 2b
Bovee. 3b; Moore. IS; Ryan, II; Slaele,
cf; and Bert Wilcox, IF. The home
teams lineup was. Drummond. C;
Lewis Mason. p; Wayne Mason. lb;
Weaver, %: Grigsby. Sb; Boggs. SIS;
Dyar, II; Hendrie, CT; and Fisk, RI.
In the second game Wilson pitched
for the visitors and Earle Drummond
was retired to the bench on account Of
crippled hand and Harvey McGee
was substituted.
Aside from the fact that the Yuma
county boys lack pitching force for a
double header, these two teams are
evenly matched and In both cases play
good, clean ball.
Prof. Stevenson accompanied his
boys to Wray and was by no means the
least interested spectator. Prof. Stew
enson is a very pleasant gentleman to
meet and seems to be very popular
with his boys.
A reception was given tho visitors
by tho local school st tho high school
building last Saturday evening. Re.
freshments wore served and an i'm
promptu musical program was given. :

New State Institution.

Governor Shafroth recently appointed
the members of the board of control of
the State Home for Mental Detectives
provided for by the last general assem-
bly,. The institution has been located
near Arvada and work will begin at
once on the erection of building.
The first bill looking to tho estah-
fishing of an institution of this kind was
introduced in the state senate by the
writer in 1893 and called for the loca-
tion of the institution near Fort Nor
gan. This bill was introduced in 1896
but owing to the shortage ofstate mon
ey nothing could be done toward secur-
ing its passage. In 1897 the bill with
some changes was again introduced but
Pueblo senator copied tho bill with
the exception of the location which he
changed TO Pueblo and introduced II as
his bill. The result was pretty lively
fight over the two bills late in the ses-
sion and the defeat of both bills.
The passage of the bill providing for
this institution is certainly greatly to
the credit of tho men who composed
the scvcnteeth general assembly for
there is great need for such mn institu
ton. Many Of the feeble minded chill
dren of ohe state by proper treatment
and training in this home can be made
