1t is an old saying that the
blood of the martyrs is the seed
of the church and the phrase
embodies an important truth.
The punishment of one who is not
a criminal but merely the repre-
sentative of a righteous sentiment
is sure to strengthen the sentiment.

WHICH SYSTEM OF TREATMENT Of
FERS THE MOST.
We propose to speak as though
called in consultation in a case of
pneumonia, and we should like
the reader to regard us for the
time being as a confidential adj
wiser, whose opinion has been
sought as to the best methods of
treating one of the family who is
ill Of this disease.
This is no time for theory or
speculation, Every moment is
precious. Every move must count.
What is the thing to do at this
minutep These are questions that
must be answered by the doctor.
Which doctor can best cope with
this disease? What hope does
the medical doctor offer?
DR.. William Osler says in reply
to this question: "The enormous
fatality speaks only too plainly Of
the futility Of our means Of cure"
Another famous physician Of
the same school has said s'Drug
treatment is useless in cases OF
pneumonia. The medical pro-
fession, SO far as medicines are
concerned, can be Of no assistance
in the fight of this disease"
DR.. James Anders, who is a pro-
fessor in leading medical college
and the author of several famous
text books, says as much. In his
ssPractice Of Medicine" after de-
voting more than twenty closely
printed pages to a discussion oi

the voters of Idaho county. The ques-
ton concerns the well being of every
man, woman and child in the county
and the matter should be thought on
soberly and discussion of it be as free
from passion and prejudice as is pos
sible for it to be.
Mining News has little to offer in the
way of opposing the ''dry'' side than
that it has given in past issues. Per-
sonally, the editor probably has as little
need of saloon as any man in the
county, but his appetite does not gauge
the appetites of the county. Looking
over the number of saloons in this
county, one naturally arrives at the
conclusion that there is a great abund-
ance of appetite for strong drink. And
it would be a modern miracle if these
appetites could be voted out of COM
mission. 1t would simply drive the
business into secret places so numerous
over this big county that the whole
militia of the state of Idaho could not
compel halfway observance of the
law, and if the sheriff's office attempts
it the county will go broke. Idaho has
enough dead laws now which breed con-
tempt for other laws.

AfrIcs's Second Story Worker With
the Long Distance Neck.
The giraffe is the second story work
er Of the animal kingdom. 1t is a
merger Of the zebra and the camel and
is also a distant relative Of the palm
tree. The giraffe consists Of eight feet
Of neck equipped with body at one
end and a head at the other. In the
matter Of neck II has all the rest Of
the animal kingdom beaten by
length. The CRATES mouth is located
so far from its stomach that It has
to eat today to appease tOmOrrow's ap-
petite. Many a giraffe has starved to
death while the first meal 1t had eaten
for two weeks was slowly travelling its
transcOntinental esophagus
The giraffe looks as II It had started
out to be a zebra, but, having reached
the shoulders, had kept on going. 1t Is
very dark I'm color, marked by yellow
ish brown stripes IN a handsome lin

some difficulty with giraffes, which

and frequently nibbled them during
their flight 10 order TO inhale the gas
Why does the giraffe have long

Entered at the Elk City, Idaho, POST
office for transmission through the
mails as second-class matter.
Looks Goog for Railroad.

The rivalry between the surveying
crews of the o. R. & N. and the crews
of the Northern Pacific along the pro-
posed route of the Clearwater cutoff,
in the Middle Fork country, has brought
some of the leading lawyers of both
companies to Lewiston, and, incident
ally, information has come that the
Northern Pacific plans early construc-
ton in the disputed territory. 1t is
probable this information seeks to win
moral support for the Northern Pacific.
Information comes from Missoula that
the o. R. & N. also figures on early
construction, and that the plats of both
roads on file in the land Office there
show that with the exception Of the
pass through the Bitter Roots and near
the mouth Of the Middle Fork, the two
roads will each traverse a new territory,
untouched by the other.
Assuming that this information is
correct, it must be that the jealousy
between the two companies is not be-
cause of the two roads that will connect
Missoula on the Montana side and Lew
iston on the Idaho side, but rather be-
cause both lines will occupy strategic
points as a means of quick transit be-
tween the east and the west, and also
possess equal advantages in extending
feeders into territory that is as yet IN
developed, but which holds promise Of
great tonnage if a railroad would build.
Viewed from any angle, the rivalry
between the two companies looks good
over here. II always has appeared TO
this paper that when another trans
continental railway selected the north
en route il would force the company
situated best 10 build this cutoff line
70 recoup itself for the territory lost.

SECRET AGREEMENT
DENIED BY RICHARD

New York, Dec. Tick Richard,
the prize fight promoter, who has just
returned here from Boston, denies
there is any secret agreement existing
between Jeffries and johnson over the
division OF the $1O1,o 900 purse which
Richard offered.
while in conference with Jeffries
and Johnson before the final articles
were signed" said Rocl1ard today, 81
tald them that they could divide the
purse any way they desired and even
suggested a so per cent division, as it
seemed that the betting odds would be
about even. The fighters discussed the
matter, but when~I told them that I
would insist on the public being given
the full details they dropped the mat
ter
I'll bet anyone $1,000 that there is
no agreement between Jeffries and
Johnson of any kind, excepting to di-
vide the purse rs per cent to the win
ner and 25 per cent to the loser. And
Ill bet Tom McCarey of Los Angeles
or any one else another 81, 900 that I
did not give Jeffries $4,000 or any
other secret inducement to favor my
bid for the fight

that the fight will be held in Salt Lake

FARMERS INFLUENCE.
The GRAIN MARKETS
FIRST YEAR THEY HAVE BEEN A
REAL FACTOR IN CONTROLLING
PRIcEs-WITHHoLDINc GRAIN
FROM THE TERMINALS is THE
CHIEF INFLUENCE.

The Duluth Board Of Trade wheat
report for Thursday contained the fol-
lowing significant admission about the
effect the farmers were ;4aving on the
markets with their hold your wheat
policy:
The wheat market today yielded to
two distinct influences, weakening
under selling pressure shortly after
the opening on account of the appre-
hension due to the large supplies OF
wheat believed to be in the hands OF
| farmers. and strengthening later in
the session and closing strong on
bullish news from Argentina. The
flax market was strong although the
volume Of trading in the early hours
was not large. increasing toward the
close on receipt OF bullish news from
Argentina.
December wheat was inactive in the
early hours and there was no trading
in this option It was strong in SYM
pathy with May toward tie close. De-
cember touched a high selling point of
S1.10% and closed at Sill with no
trading. e.
Trading in May wheat was rather
heavy. May opened at s1.10%, and
was soft to $1.10A, there being con-
siderable selling. The option later rail-
lied to $1.12 and closed firm at s1.12
asked. The bearish influences that
were paramount in the early hours
had their origin in the belief that
farmers are holding large supplies of
wheat. The March government re-
port last year showed the reserves In
the country to be 21.6 per cent. Many
traders believe these figures are now
almost doubled. Elevators through
out the country have large stocks of
wheat, and farmers appear to be hold
ing out for higher prices. Last year
the American Society Of Equity sets
its selling price at 81, and later de-
clded upon $1.25, but as wheat did not
command that price until practically
all of the crop had been sold. the
farmers did not realize the. revised
demand price. This year the Ameri-
can Society of Equity is strongly or
ganized and the members appear to
be holding their supplies.
The presence of so muc.l wheat in
reserve has depressing effect.
This is the first year that the farm
ers have had an opportunity to give a
real test of their power. The soften
ing in wheat prices in the last two or
three days is. partly due to the release
Of some of these reserve stocks.
Whether or not the farmers can let go
OF their supplies uniformly is prob
lematical. High prices might cause
them to dump their holdings on the
market, in their eagerness to take adj
vantage Of the bullish situation The
bears, arguing from this viewpoint
believe that they can afford to wait
on the theory that the farmers, need
ing money, will be compelled to re-
lease their holdings

PACKARD BOOSTS HANSON.

Valley city Times Record, One of
the most interesting and significant
Developments of the week in the po-
probable candidacy Of Judge A. q.
Hanson, OF Fargo, for congress.
Roughly speaking, it may be put down
for a cincn his entrance in the con-
gressional race will cause something
In the nature of sensation-not to say
a stanpede-in the ranks of our
friends, the stalwarts. For Judge
Hanson is a stalwart only In the
sense that he is man OF solid con-
viction and substantial worth. Polit-
ically he is a progressive republican.
and by no means a recent convert, at
that. National Committeeman Ken
nedy will bear us out In that state
ment. we are sure.
Judge Hanson Is a resident of Far
go, and is now serving his fourth term
as Judge OF the county court. His
POLITICAL successes have been won In
the face OF the solid opposition Of the
Cass county "machine"-than which
no finer tribute to his popularity and
worth could be asked for. Towards
the close Of the last campaign the
boss of that county is said to have
thrown I'D his hands in disgust with
the remark: Whats the use? we
can't stop him. Let him ran" We
believe that Judge Hanson is not per
sonally well known beyond the con-
fines Of his own county, but he IL a
likeable man, Denial approachable end
good mixer" No other man who
Is at al likely to enter the race would
give mis- political opponent 30 much
trouble nor reflect greater credit up
on the state as a national legislator
