JEWS AND AMERICA.

The influence of the Jews in the dis
covery and development of America
has been discussed again and again
here and abroad. Never before, how
ever, has the subject been taken up
by so able an economist as Prof. Wer-
ner Sombart of Berlin Prof. Sombart
is an Investigator whose works have
attracted International notice and for
this reason his views as given in his
lecture are of great Importance He
said that in addition to furnishing
financial support to Columbus when
he went on his journey which resulted
in the discovery of America, the Jews
were numerous in his expedition. They
were also active in developing the ear
ly Spanish and English colonies as
Prof. Sombart showed He said:
Columbus expeditions were
financed by Jewish money. The crews
of the ships contained large percent
age of Jews and with them began the
flooding of South America by Jews,
who pushed their way into the North
Not only were the Jews actual pioneers
in opening up the New World, but they
became the real founders of the colon
ial life which was later to develop into
the American Republic.
AS traders and merchants, Jews ac-
companied the earliest colonizers into
the unknown wilderness of the original
thirteen colonies and during the entire
period that the territories were under
British dominion, the Jews were re
sponsible for the keeping of them eco
nomically independent of the mother
land, for it was they who had brought
gold and silver into the colonies from
South America"

the law, the commissioners have the
right to refuse licenses if they see
fit. The application of Moore &
Wamsley had been before the board
for several days. Chairman Sher-
man was in favor of renewing the
license and SO voted, Commissioners
McMaster and Newhry opposing.
The action of the board is accept
ed as meaning that Twin Falls
county will be "dry" after the lice
nses heretofore granted have ex-
pired. The liquor dealers are much
concerned over the decision of the
board and are now offering their
property for sale. They assert that
prior to the election they were given
to understand that their licenses
would be renewed, and that while
they would be subject to the opera
ton of possible local option meas.
ure, their business would not be
disturbed by the commissioners.
With that understanding most of
them supported The Republican can
didates. They have no appeal from
the decision of the board, and I'm
less there is change of sentiment
the county will be dry" in less
than IL months, regardless of whet-
her the local option bill is passed
or not. 1t is probable that the
liquor dealers will test the law and
they announce that ia any event
they will make a fight, probably
through the national organization,
which has representatives in every
state looking up such matters as
affect the interests of the liquor
trade. = Tain Falls Meas.

Nampa County Bill.

]. S. Hickey and E. H. Dewey re-
turned Tuesday from Boise where
they had spent a great deal of their
valuable time in the interests of
Nampa. There were necessarily
many questions before the legislature
of vital interest to this city and these
gentlemen being largely interested
and being active men of the city in
doing good for the town are not in
active when it comes to looking after
matters where their wide influence is
of inestimable value. They came back
worn out after the seige of work they
had found confronting them.
The matter of the withdrawal of the
Nampa county bill was through their
influence, largely, as they saw that
there were necessary changes to be
made in the bill in order to secure the
favor for it that would insure it's pas
sage, and they could see, too, the flu
tility of its being presented at the
time it would likely come up on ac-
count of the combination that had
been effected on numerous measures
that would surely work to the defeat

IDAHO FIRST NEWSPAPER

1t may not be generally known,
but 1t is nevertheless a fact, that a
newspaper was printed at Lapwal,
twelve miles from Lewiston, in
1896. The first mission was esta.
blshed there in that year and this
brought about the publication of
the Newspaper. 1t was the first
press and type outfit set up on the

giving to Idaho the honor of having

A Pendleton dispatch in yesterdays
Oregonian said that 10 900 acres of
land within radius of ten miles of
Pilot Rock, hitherto considered un-
productive, have been placed in cult
walton within the past eighteen
months. This land is not situated
along the creek bottoms, where the
greatest amount of moisture is found,
nor is it where it can be irrigated.
1t is simply a dry farming proposition,
and success has already attended the
efforts of the men who have taken up
this dry land farming by scientific
methods. At no previous period in
the agricultural development of the
Pacific Northwest has there been so
much interest shown in better farm
ing" usually termed scientific farm
ing.
few years ago the average farmer
regarded with mild disdain the college
farmers, who were just beginning to
spread the gospel of modern agricul-
ture. Now the college farmer is well
coined, and his views command a item
ton and his methods are religiously
followed The change has already
worked wonders in the limited field
where it has been made, but the pos
sibilities, especially in the immense
semi-arid regions OF the Pacific North
west, are almost unlimited. Dry
farming experts can be found in near
ly all of the prominent agricultural
colleges of the country, and hundreds
Of them are actively engaged in MAX
ing practical and profitable demon
STATIONS of their theories on dividend
earning farms of their own. Among
these experts Professor H. w. Camp
bell, OF Lincoln, Neb., has been promi-
nently before the public. He has re-
Gently issued Soil Culture Manual"
which covers the entire subject in a
most elaborate and comprehensive
manner.
While all of the experiments and in
yestigations conducted by Professor
Campbell and extending over a period
of more than twelve years have been
carried on in the semi-arid belt, the
same principles can be applied with
great advantage in any locality. In
the language of Professor Campbell,
there is hardly a section of the
United States that can be said to be
free from the danger of crop failure
by reason of the irregular distribution
OF rainfall. The season of drouth, or
weeks of dryness, perhaps sandwiched
between other weeks of excessive rain
fall, is common to all regions. In
showing how to overcome the danger
which is ever present in the semi-arid
region, We have also shown how to
avoid the danger that comes occasion
ally in any country"
The success of the dry land farmers
in the Pilot Rock semi-arid region
means much more than the bringing
into productive stage many thousand
miles of hitherto neglected semi-arid
land. The practical demonstration of
what can be accomplished by modern
scientific methods of handling this
soil simply shows that even greater
returns can be secured by applying
the same methods to lands where
moisture is more plentiful.-The Ore

population and settlement was that

Sheep Market:

| CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 10, 1900
The supply of sheep and lambs will
show an increase of seven or eight
thousand head compared to the
corresponding three days last week.
Monday we had 5000 on sale and
the general market was 10 to IS cts.
lower. Yesterday, under light sup
plies the market ruled strong and
would have been considerably high
er had not everything been so wet.
To-day wednesday, with about
10, 900 on sale, the market is 10 to
20 cts. higher, plenty of lambs
bringing SITS again.
The eastern situation is much
better than heretofore, Buffalo be-
ing lightly supplied, and showing
some increase in prices. From the
best information we can gather, it
will take coupl of weeks yet to
clear up the quarantined districts in
Michigan. After that, think we
will have clear sailing for the west
ern sheep feeder. A good many
eastern orders have been going to
Buffalo the past fewsweeks. AS soon
as receipts get light, their market
will get higher and then orders
will have to come here.
The quality still continues bad.
We believe of lambs here this week
have been the worst of the season.
Hover, this has helped out the
eastern feeders considerably as
they have been able to buy more
feeders this week than any week
this year and they have been free
buyers of lambs at from $6.85 to 81.
80.
A few feeding yearlings from
Montana have been on sale that
brought $5.75, Probably eight or
ten thousand tenders went out of
this market this week, the bulk of
which were here Monday.
Colorado lambs have commenced
to move, and while they are not
prizs, are selling correspondingly
higher than anything else as they
are killing out better than the half
tat stuff we are getting from local
points. However, the Colorados
have been picked a little to early,
but the prices they have been bring
lug are good considering their con
ditlon, and they are making plenty
OF money. AS a rule we advise
making stock good but under
present conditions, hardly think we
would hold lambs that are in good
killing condition that would bring
~. so. or better.
The sheep end of the deal is still
in bad shape compared to lambs and
while everyone connected with the
sheep business has been expecting
sheep to get higher and sell closer
to lambs, it seems as if there is not
much outlet for sheep. Eastern
orders are very limited for sheep,
the majority wanting lambs.
We believe sheep will yet sell
considerably higher and closer to
LAMBS than they have therefore, this
season.
We look for only moderate sup
plies next week and a good, active
trade.
Yours truly,
The Knollin Sheep Commission Co.

clination to be guided a couple
OF days this week. They have
kept the matter very quiet and
it did not leak out until yes
terday morning.
AS the story goes it is quite
interesting. 1t appears that a
young woman about 80 years
old came into the city Thurs
day and began to call upon
the merchants and to set her
plan as to how they might have
cheap and excellent advertising.
The cheap feature quickly caught
their ears and she soon held
them with a spell. Her talka-
tive qualities and her persuasive
manner caught both the mar
ried and unmarried alike. In
most cases the merchants grew
more interested as she pro-
gressed. She asserted her plan
was very simple, consisting
of the sale of a small
space-most valuable space
of about PIE by 212 inches on
the front and back cover of a
tablet to be used by the nurses
in the local hospital, as goes the
story. Now for this excellent
space that would be seen by
one or two nurses, as many
physicians and not more than
so people a month many of
them fiat of their backs in bed
who, of couuse, were prepared
to buy jewelry, furniture and
hardware provided they re-
covered from their affections, she
asked the neat sum of 500 per
space. She claimed everyone
readily saw the great value
of such advertising as against
that in the newspapers which
was read by hundreds of people
and as result she caught
nearly every man in town who
was adverse to paying a local
paper ten Genus an 1nCn.
Many of the merchants sought
the exclusive right for this great
opportunity to spread his
wares before the eyes of the
sick and urged that no other
man in his line of business be
allowed to possess any of that
valuable space. She readily
agreed and accordingly his ad :
appeared on a portion of the !
tablets and his competitor on
the other; so agreeable was this
woman in satisfying one and !
all.
Some Of the merchants felt a :
little hard pushed and while
they were most enthusiastic
'te~ayail themselves of this mar
velous opportunity, yet they ,
were not in a position to pay
the cash. She readily accom-.
modated by taking furniture,
jewelry or other goods which !
were readily given. She had
no difficulty to pursuade
local liveryman to take the ex-
elusive space on one of the :
tablets in order to advertise
his rigs and horses to the sick ..
and this man went about town
gathering up the articles )
of goods and hauled them to
the depot where she shipped
them out of town. 1t is claim
ed she left about $15 worth ..
of tablets at the hospital and
left with the neat sum of $40
or $500 for her own trouble.
One local merchant who is !
known as a regular sucker" !
became suspicious and wanted
to know where his rocker had q
gone and found it at local de. :
pot billed to a point in Cali
lorna. He now CLAIMS he got =
1T back but others smile when :,

of cut glass, rockers, y
