IDAHO LEADS THE COUNTRY.

From a perusal Of the year book of the
Department of Agriculture, copy OF which |
this Office received this week through |
courtesy of Senator Borah, the very gra- |
tifying fact that Idaho leads in the pro- |
duction per acre of two of the most i'm
portant crops that are produced in this
country, wheat and hay, is found. The
average yield per acre of wheat in the
United States for the year 1908 was IA
bushels, while the land of the Gem State
produced on an average of 1872 bushels
per acre. The hay crop of Idaho averaged
1926 tons per acre, the average for the
country l.52 This report substantiates
the claims made by the Idaho boosters to
the effect that we have the greatest state in
the Union. Here we are producing twice
as much wheat per acre as majority of the
states in the union and the greater portion
is raised without water
In the production of hay idaho stands
at the head of the list with better than
double the average per acre of then entire
country When these figures are taken into
consideration there is little wonder for the
great immigration to this state little won
der that the eyes of many farmers are on
Idaho.
Bear Lakes wheat production will com
pare favorably with that of most of the
counties of the state, while our hay crop
in Bear Lake county is probably the best in
Idaho.
1t seems that many of the people who
live in Idaho have enjoyed the fruits of it's
harvests SO long that they do not appreciate
its superiority over many other portions of
the United States. We are like the lecturer

A CCORDING to an Indiana lawyer. the YER
y dict of the jury in a case tried in that State
was distinctly influenced by an unfortunate
break made by youthful attorney in his clos

The defense put forward had been that the
defendant was Imbecie. and consequently
was unable to distinguish between right and
wrong In his summing up the young lawyer
made clever use of this point: but. when about

manner.

fortunate defendant. Regard. gentlemen. that

Elk Mountain Mining District

Oliver H. Paulson made a trip
TO Elk Mountain while here and
visited the mines that are now be-
ing opened and developed in. that
district. Mr. Paulson is convinc-
ed that there is a great future for
that country. He said: Il Was
surprised at the amount and the
character of the works | found
there, as well as the very rich
character of the rock that is being
taken out"
"The ore in the Elkhorn, MS
well as in all of the other workings
there, gives promise of a great
mine. With the accessibility to
wat, r, timber, and the railroad,
there will be a great camp there
before many months. | found
high grade copper ore in the
breast aud considerable ore bodies
blocked out. The Elkhart, which
is on the same lead, will no doubt
develope into "A fine property and
the Elk also has ms much promise
of greatness as the other proper
ties and | believe will make good
with development. The Elkhorn
mine, is in charge of M. b
McKillip, who is in every sense of
the word a miner, and it could not
be in better hands. Mr.. McKiIipp
is a man who knows how To make
every blow count and he is not
wasting a dollar in his develop
ment of the Elkhorn. 1t gives me
great pleasure TO See SO competent
a man in charge"

The Fort Collins Express announ-
ces with IA tone of regretfulness that
the name of the Medicine Bow Ma
tional forest in Colorado is to be
changed and that the name will go
to Wyoming, replacing the name
Cheyenne" This is right and prop
er. There never has been any reason
why the national forest to the west
of this city should have been named
Cheyenne" There is nothing in
common between our state capital
and the national forest one hundred
miles away, while there is much
about the forest that makes the name
Medicine Bow applicable. The
people of Wyoming will hail the
change with genuine approval.-Lar-

country in general is that which
applies to the committee room,
and to the quiet, subtle inside
work of legislation which is done
under the surface and which only
appears to the public, in cold calm
results, rather than lamboyant,
bombastic talk. Hence the man
who can credit to his balance the
most and the highest committee
assignments is by latest need and
moment really the most inf1uen-
tial and powerful unit in the high
er branch of the national lcgisla-
ture.
"There are many senators who
do not attempt speech upon the
floor once in five years, yet their
influence is felt strongly and ir-
resistibly in the undercurrent of
events when the total of legisla-
tive calculation is made. These
are the real giants of congress.
Among that class may justly
be ranked Senator Clarence Don
Clark of Wyoming. Shrewd of
countenance, active of body and
acute of mental capacity, this pro-
duct, originally of the east, but
a more later growth of the broad,
expansive West, is a real factor in
senate affairs. Among other
things to bis credit he holds the
Craftsmanship of the committee on
judiciary. That committee is the
committee of lawyers and hence
the committee of Legislators. For
your genuine legislator is a law
yer and the more so the better.
Honorable position, indeed, lis
this position as head of the judic-
larry committee. The senate con-
tains many eminent lawyers-ln
fact, the cream of the country-so
that the man who is placed at the
front of this body must needs be
an exemplar of all that is great in
the law and the judiciary. Sena-
tors who have heretofore held this
post have been men high in the
councils of the nation. Senator
George Frisbie Hoar of Massa-
chusetts, for instance, was it's
chairman at the time oil his death,
and when he left this mortal
sphere it wrs commonly thought
by no means an everyday task to
select a man fit TO fill the post he
had left vacant. But Senator
Clark of Wyoming readily appeal
ed to the senate for the position
He was equipped for it, in the
first place, having ready and apt
prediction for the law. So his
appointment by Republican eau
Gus was unanimous.
SIN addition to this infinitely
important post Senator Clark also
holds a position on the committee
on foreign relations that also be-
ing a body of important task and
transaction. In these two com.
mittee assignments alone the Wy
oming senator stands shoulder to
shoulder with any man in his leg
islative association. No other,
certainly, is gifted with more i'm
, portance or valuable committee as
signment. Therefore,, no other is
called upon for more important
and profound labor than Senator
Clark.
Senator Clark was born in
Oswego county, New York, fifty
eight years ago. He removed
early to Iowa, where he taught
school, and studying law, was ad.
mitted to the bar. Then remov.
ing to Wyoming, where the judi.
cial field offered promise, his
neighbors quickly seized upon
him and elected him prosecuting
attorney for Uinta county, an of.
fee he filed for four years. In
1890 he was appointed associate
justice TO the territory, but de-
clined the honor. However, upon

Somewhat Peculiar Light In Which
Pious Old Lady Regarded Cats
Act of Theft.

A reporter, during the Dayton cele.
bration, condemned the numerous
pilferers of Wright aeronautical ideas.
"They pilfer so smugly, too," the
reporter said. "They pretend that the
ideas they steal were born in their
own brains years ago. Strange,
though, isn't it, that you alone pat
ented these ideas and put them to
practical use?"
Orville Wright smiled and an.
swered:
"They have indeed a righteous air,
these pilferers. They actually believe,
l am sure, that they have just claim
to the ideas they fitch. They remind
me of old Mrs. Harrington.
"a neighbor of old Mrs. Harring-
toms killed fine pig one day. He
cut it up and hung the pieces in his
woodshed. Mrs. Harrington's cat
climbed into the shed that night,
stole large pork chop and carried it
home to her mistress.
"The minister happened to call on
the old lady the next day. She was
just frying the chop. She told the
minister how miraculously it had been
brought to her by the cat.
"'And oh, SIR she said, piously, 1t
was most beautiful to see the way the
sweet animal brought me the pork
chop. It quite recalled to my mind

No other medicine for woman's ills

icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely

It costs but little to try Lydia E.
