THERE is no use trying to explain
away the vast sums of money spent in
the primary election last year by saying
that money has always been spent, and
politicians have always done these
things. If money has always been
spent, it is time to stop it, and if poll
ticians have always resorted to crooked
work to win, it is time to get-rid of the
politicians. Money may be legitimate
ly spent in elections, but the amount
which may be thus spent is small. Poll
ticians may have done crooked work in
the past, but if they did, the people
were ignorant of it or else learned it
too late to prevent the politician from
reaping benefits. Stoughton Courier.
]. M. clancy of Stoughton thinks
he sees ray of light for the demo
cratic party. Over-legislation he de-.
clares is the greatest evil which besets
the state today, and which offers the
issue upon which the democratic party
may achieve victory. The enactment
of multitudinous number of i'll con-
sidered, half baked, embryonic and vic
iOus laws, a veritable riot of legislation,
Mr.. Clancy declares, has had the ten
dency to deprive people of their reason
able rights, increase public burdens and
invite political reaction. Among the
ill-considered and fruitless pieces of
legislation Mr.. Clancy mentioned the
primary election law which he said had
been tested and found wanting, not in
a few things amenable to the curative
powers of legislation, but in every re-
spect GAS boss exterminator, he
said, ga destroyer of political machines,
a preventive of corruption, it is worth
less" He charged that the law con-
fines the possibility of election to Office
among the very rich and bars the poor
man from the hope of political prefer
n1ent Another evil of the reform
regime, Mr. Clancy declared, is in Leg
islation to control and regulate private
business, to interfere with the rights
of citizens, and to take unto the state
rights which free men should enjoy
without interference. The result he
saws is multiplication Of useless office
holders and the absorption of public
revenue. Conditions must be chang
ed" says Mr.. Clancy. NThe squan-
dering of public money must end. The
legal mill must run on shorter time.
Useless laws must be repealed and
demagogism supplanted by statesman
ship. Future legislation should be
largely limited to repeating law. It
seems to have escaped Mr.. Clancey's
vision so far, however, that the demo-
cratic minority so far have been very
ardent supporters of the Impractical
measures of which he complains.
Wherein lies the hope of the return to
reason?

/. II has been realized by many
Tor several years that the sheep
industry would eventually crowd
the cattle men out of the Salmon
river country. The range there
IS most too small for cattle rails
ing and much of the land can be
pastured to much better advan-
tage with sheep than with cattle.
The action of the cattle men in
changing to sheep is wise one
and will mean much more to
them in a financial way than had
they continued in the cattle busi-
ness.

CHANGE CATTLE
FOR SHEEP
Salmon River Stock Men Dispose
of Cattle Herds and Form Conn
pany to Engage in Sheep Rais-
ing Instead.

Practically every citizen who
could buy, borrow or steal a sad
die horse Sunday morning mount
ed a steed and went out to meet
the big drove of Salmon river
cattle which reached this place
that day. The cattle numbered
about nineteen hundred head in
all and were the property of
Bales & Jones and Nash & Jones,
the big Salmon river stockmen.
The cattle were started from
their range across the river late
last week and were all forced to
swim the stream, which is now
at low stage and pretty easily
forded.
On reaching this place the cat
tie were turned into the large
pasture west of town where they
were held until Wednesday. A.
bout 400 head of beef cattle and
$50 head of calves were sold by
the owners to a Seattle buyer
and were shipped to the coast
market Tuesday. The balance
of the big herd was driven to
Sites Wednesday and will be
shipped from that point to Mon
tana where they will be turned
loose on the range to grow up
into prime beef and later supply
the Chicago and coast markets.
The above shipments practic-
ally wind up the cattle industry
in the Salmon river country for
some Of the largest cattle raisers
who have been engaged in the
business in that section for the
past ten or twelve years. Those
who have gone out of the cattle
business will go to raising sheep
instead and thousands of woolies
will be found in future on the
land where the cattle formerly
grazed.
With this end in view the Sal
mon River Stock company was
recently organized, its incorpora-
tors being Bales & JONES'. Of
Grangeville, Asa Jones, of Cot
tonwood, R. P. Nash, E. G. Wy
att and 0. B. Garfield, of Joseph.
Having disposed Of most of their
cattle, these men will, it is stated,
purchase between 5000 and 49,
OOO head OF sheep which they will
turn loose this fall on the 10000
acres of range which they con-
troll across the river.

SALMON ROAD
NOT HILLS
New Road Being Built From SAL
mon City to Seattle is Thought
to be an Outlet for the North
western Road.

The Hill interests are not back
ing the Armstead-Salmon City
line if the information received
in this city from a reliable rail-
road source is correct.
The proposed plan as given out
for publication is for the con-
struction of a section of the road
from Armstead to Salmon City
which is now going on, west
through north central Idaho to
Lewiston into southeastern Wash
ington and on to the Pacific
coast, making the terminal at
Seattle. Having started the
work out of Armstead and con-
tinuing it we'll into Idaho the
construction of the link between
Lander and St. Anthony will be
taken up and from there the line
will be built to Armstead. This
would form a Pacific outlet and
terminal for the Northwestern.
Leaving st. Anthony the North
western proposes to build north
parallel to the Butte-Salt Lake
branch of the Oregon Short Line
through the eastern section of
Idaho skirting the border of the
Yellowstone park, where a pass
is located allowing the line to
push on direct to Armstead.
From there the present route of
the Pittsburg & Gilmore will be
followed to Junction, thence up
the Lemhi river to Salmon City.
Leaving the latter named place
the Northwestern follows the
easy grade of the big Salmon
river across north central Idaho
to Golf, where the stream takes
a big bend to the north and then
west to Lewiston where it strikes
the Snake river and follows this
stream into southeastern Wash
ington to Pasco, with branch
of the main line completing a
loop through Walla Walla. At
Pasco the line connects with the
Spokane branch which is now
being promoted by Strayhorn,
the financier of that city, who
has puzzled the railroad world
through his activity in the prop
osition to build a line from Spo-
kane to Seattle. With the two
roads connecting at Pasco, a
northwesterIy direction is taken
to Seattle where it is claimed
that terminal right of way has

NEGRO BOY DEAD
 FROM WHIPPING
Verdict of Coroner's Jury at Hope Holds Riley Neal, Prosperous Negro Farmer, for Alleged
 Crime.

Hope, Jan. lS.-A negro boy, Luther Bass, aged II years, died Sunday night near Bells mill from injuries which necessitated all inquest. A coroner's jury held that the boy came to his death from injuries inflicted by Riley Neal, a prosperous negro farmer, owner of 700 acres of land near Bells mill.
 From testimony al the investi. gation held by Coroner GosnelI it developed that Neal tied Bass to tree and whipped him vici- ously with horse whip and limb of tree, the boy dying afterwards from his injuries.
 After the inquest Coroner Gosnell arrested Neal and brought him to Hope, where he was released on bail of $l,000.
