Lewiston-Large deposits of asbest-
os are now being investigated on state
land located near Kamiah, 80 miles
east of Lewiston in the Clearwater
country, preliminary to granting a
lease to Spokane company recently
organized for the purpose of putting
the manufactured product on the mar
ket.
The asbestos rock is found in large
Lodges, from which the rock can be
quarried in large blocks and sawed into
brick or other products. The company
has subjected the brick to the most
rigid laboratory tests, with satisfacto-
ry results, and preparations are being
made to begin manufacturing on large
scale as soon as the lease from the
state land board is secured.
The company was organized several
months ago, and approximately 200
tons of the natural asbestos has been
removed from the property and sent to
Eastern laboratories for testing pur-
poses The Baldwin Locomotive works
has been working with the product and
has recently offered orders for a large
quantity of the brick and waste as-
pestos.

San Francisco-The appeal of Will
liam +. Kettlebach, George r. Kester
and William Dryer, all OF Idaho, found
guilty OF subornation of perjury in con-
nection with certain land deals in that
state was granted by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals and
the case remanded for new trial. A
similar charge against Dryer was re-
versed last week by the same court
under the Williamson decision of the
United States Supreme court, which
held in effect that the land office could
not extend the requirements for the
taking up of government land beyond
those stated by statutes and had no
jurisdiction over the definitions of
criminal matters.
Under this ruling the original affi-
davits in the case at bar, though pos
sibly false, are held by the court not to
perjury and hence the sub
'rnation charge is groundless.

TAFT CRITICISED
He Is Close to the Southern People, 1t
Is Said, but How Close?

In a recent publication of his news
paper, The Issue former Governor
Vardaman of Mississippi in discussing
the claim that Mr. Taft is close to the
Southern people, says:
Let us see how close Mr.. Taft is to
the Southern people-what he stands
for that they are interested in. He is
the embodiment of the Payne-Aldrich
bill, which is the most ubiquitous of all
robber tariffs. He stands for ship sub
sldy, which is a steal pure and simple.
Grand larceny by law. He stands for
central bank of issue, which will put
the control of the money supply of the
Nation in the hands of a few great
financiers who would scuttle the Ship of
State and outrage the Goddess of Lib
erty, coin the tears and blood of the
toiling people into dollars or damn their
immortal souls for profit. He stands for
great army and a great navy, which
increases the burden of taxation, now
SO heavily borne by the farmers and
laborers of this Republic He stands
for imperialism which is violative of
the genius of our government He
stands for usurpation of power by the
Federal judiciary. In other words, he
is the incarnation of the extreme in
famies of the Republican party gilded
with an innocent smile. If Mr. Taft is
close to the people of the South he is
only close to them to corrupt the in
tegrity of the white rase, that the few
pets of the Republican party may grow
richer still To do everything against
their interest and nothing for their in
terest, is what he stands for in politics.
About the only thing he is willing to
give the Southern people is the sunlight
of his trademark smile and a few hot
air compliments. And with all that, |
think Taft is a much better man politi-
cally, much truer to his convictions, and
closer to the Southern people than
Dickinson. Taft is what he pretends
to be. Dickinson is as much of Re
publican as Taft, and pretends to be
Democrat. l prefer the genuine article

TWENTY CENT COTTON
Will This Price Be Reached? 1t Is
Probable-Egyptian Crop Almost a
Failure.

New York, Dec. Io.-The Sun yester-
day said: Will cotton be worth I6 cents
pound this year, or will it be II, or
even 20? This is the question that re-
mains to be answered For the market
made sensational gains of about ST per
bale yesterday morning, and the distant
month options advanced to new high
record prices of the season, with May
and June selling not far below IS I-2c
a pound. Last year at this time the
May option sold not far above Sic
Thus it will be noticed that a bale of
cotton is worth nearly SIS more than
last year
The gain was not result of boosting
of the bull leaders who have been stand
ing upder the market for the past
month. 1t was result of the govern
ment report of ginning of 8878,277 bales
to December I that went far to confirm
short crop estimates of the past and to
lead to belief that the official govern
ment estimate due on Friday will be
sensationa1ly small Ten and a half mil
lion bales is about the average predic-
ton for it now, although many are ex-
pecting even less. But even that would
be 100000 bales below last years crop,
and would be the smallest in recent
years.
This condition is the result of num-
Der of circumstances, including drouths,
tornadoes, boil weevil and early frosts,
that have devastated the South all sea-
son. And as in the present condition
of prosperity the world is demanding
a crop as large as last years to supply
normal consumption, this state of affairs
looks like absolute calamity. But, as if
this were not enough, the Egyptian crop
starting out with brilliant prospects, has
ended in almost total failure.
As America and Egypt are the only
two countries that can be counted on
for any important supply, the cotton
markets. all over the world have been
forcing up prices. A little while ago
Wall street was pointing out the cotton
market as an example of bad overspecu-
lation because prices went above I5c
Commissioner Smith, on the other hand,
was complaining that it was causing de-
pressions that failed to give the planter
his due. To-day the market, without any
real "bulling," made new high records
for the season, records that have no
parallel in the past, except in the famous
Suuly corner.
