DOING GOOD WORK

The people of Idaho should ,p-
/ reciate the good work now being
done by the Salt Lake Tribune in
this state. The Tribune has
employed Mr.. c. E. Arney who is
visiting and writing up all sections
of Idaho. The advertising value of
this work is immense, and the peo-
pie should show their appreciation.
1t would cost the people thousands
of dollars to get these write-ups of
the various sections of Idaho, if they
sUarted Jout to buy space in the
Tribune or any other newspaper of
equal standing prestage and circu-
lation. That it is being done free

ue of the work. The Salt Lake

district, that one judge cannot cope
with the situation"
The growth and development of
Idaho is something wonderful. All
arts of the state are growing. Down
here in Southern IdaEo we sometimes
think we have a monopoly on growth
and development. We are growing
fast, but so is the northern part of
the state. 1t is only when something
calls a number of southern Idaho
people north that we get an insight
into conditions there. We think that
north Idaho does not crow enough.
They should send up montpelier
now and again. Down here the cir
culation of hot air has been reduced
to an exact science or exalted to a
fine art, whichever you may call it.
We employ hot air artists by tie
year. No one would think of start
ing prune orchard in Southern Ida
no without first employing a press
agent. He is a necessary adjunct to
prune culture. We find that it pays.
Up in North Idaho they will clear
forest and induce 10000 people to
immigrate into the state without bat
ting an eye or saying word. They
erect the largest sawmill in the world
and keep the news all to themselves.
They build railroads; open mines that
really produce ore; seed the prairie
to grain and the valley to grass and
fruit, and go their way as unconcern-
ed as if the development of an en-
pire were an everyday occurrence.
Perhaps it is to them. The people up
perhaps it is to them. The people up
there are obusy they have not time
even for politics. The production
of governors is almost a lost art in
northern Idaho. But every once in
awhile we hear of them and always
experience a start. We are always
surprised at the latest thing they
have done. They do a things on a
scale that it is revelation when I'M
expected. Here is the Eight Judicial
district overcrowded. Why Judge R.
N. Dunn has hardly got the bench
warmed yet. The necessity of a new
district was questioned in the legisla-
ture and now it is necessary to divide
it. Can such things be in North
Idako. If it had happened here we
would have made such a splurge as
would have made Paul Clagstone's
bravura look like 80 cents.

ANORHER POLYGIMlST

The Salt Lake Tribune charges that
Arthur w. Hart, representing at
'torney of Oneida county is polyg-
amt via the celestial" route. 1t
has been thought for quite while
that Mr.. Hart was such. Indeed,
the people of Oneida county do not
hesitate to talk of his matrimonial af-
fairs. The Tribune has been loathe
to accept this common rumor as
authentic. In the face of the Salt
Lake papers charges and with no
denial in evidence, we are now bound
to believe the story. And, if Mr..
Hart, wky not dozens more? We have
long known that many, in fact all the
old Mormon's looked upon President
Woodruff's manifesto and convenient
revelation, as simply postponement
of polygamy until the time seemed
opportune for the revival of the prac-
tice. This idea was natural to the
Mormons and we thought little of
1t. 1t has always been our opinion
that while the Mormon people could
not repudiate the doctrine, they would
in few years outgrow it. In Mr..
Harris case there can be no excuse.
He has reached manhood since the
abandonment of the doctrine and prac-
tice. He cannot claim that God re-
vealed to him the sanctity of poly
gamy or His desire that he enter it
without repudiating the authority of
his church and the divinity of the
Woodruff manifesto. If he be poly
gamist it is altogether possible. that
there are many others. In the hooks
and corners of "Zion," where the
Mormons have full sway, there may
be many such cases. At any rate that
suspicion will naturally arise in the
minds of the people. 1t is these ex-
poses that bring contempt and grief
upon the Mormon people. 1t shows
that he who desires to contract poly
gamous marriage in spite of the law,
revelation and the public profession
of the Mormon priesthood, can do so.

LEGAL ADVERTISING.
GOOD ROADS ASSURED

1t is now beginning to look as
though something tangible in the way
of good country roads will soon be
accomplished in Canyon county.
From every nook and corner comes
word of the awakening of the people
to a sence of the necessity and de-
STABILITY of negotiable public high
ways. The campaign of education
waged throughout the country is
commencing to bear fruit. The peo-
pie everywhere are interested and it
will not be long now, before we will
have before us a practical demon
stration of the utility and benefits
of good roads. In Caldwell we have
with us Mr., B, F. Heidel, a govern
ment expert on the subject. He pro-
poses to build mile of model coun-
try road as an illustration of what
can be done with the material avail
able at a reasonable cost. The Trib-
une is convinced that the cost ques-
ton was ever a bugaboo in the minds
of the people and tax payers. 1t is
necessary to convince the people that
good roads are a profitable invest
ment at any cost. 1t is more neces-
sary to convince them that good
roads are obtainable at reasonable
cost. Good roads might be a paying
investment at a cost of 100000
per mile; but this is beside the ques-
ton if you have not and cannot get
the 100000. In this country of
magnificent distances, sparce settle
that the cost of good roads be low.
We are convinced that the people
will find the cost of flrst-class coun-
try roads much lower than they an
ticipate.
At this time we simply wish to
commend the work of the Caldwell
Commercial Club for going at the
matter in a thorough and systematic
manner. Mr.. A. e. GIBSON is also
deserving of a word of commenda-
ton. The matter of finding out how
to build them was put up to him.
In some manner or other he has
brought to Caldwell the man to tell
us how to build them. Not only
will he tell us how but he will also
show US how by actually building
stretch of model road. When this
is accomplished we apprehend that
little trouble will be met with in con-
tinuing the good road program. As
with many other good things in this
world, we would long ago have had,
had we known how to get them, are
good roads. About half of getting
anything is the knowledge of how to
get it,.

WORKING FOR THE WEST

"The government should do every
thing in its power to develop every
acre of ground within its own do
MAN," says Senator Borah, in de-
flint protest against the faddists of
the Pinchot school. Senator Borah
has pledged himself to support a
measure that will regulate the for
estry service, so that there will be
last so-called conservation of the for
ests and more real benefit to the
settler. "Out of the reform which
Senator Borah suggests, he hopes to
secure the adoption of a policy by
which every acre of ground with
in the domain of this country can be
developed and thus prevent the mi
grafton of Americans into Canada"
Senator Borah, like Secretary Bal
linger, is of the west, and he knows
the west, it's requirements and its
possibilities. Theories and fads are
not given serious consideration by
practical well-informed men of his
type, and it is for that reason that
their deductions are seldom faulty.
No one from the west has invited
the Eastern faddists to come to the
Pacific Northwest and show us how
we should conduct our affairs; but
Oregon, especially has been receiv-
ing adice and suffering interference
in liberal quantities. In the attack on

number of Hampton's magazine, one

us that eff the Deschutes could be

For declining to elevate their tracl
to point where all the value of the
water-level grade will be lost, the
railroads are accused Of being penny
wise and pound foolish" although
elsewhere in this article Mr.. Mat
thews states that TIE old routes from
San Francisco north circle the base of
Mount Shasta, after heavy climb
in each direction, and makes travel
and freight hauling slow and costly
either way" By the new route
through the Deschutes Mr.. Matthews
admits that it is possible to build a
railroad from the Columbia river to
San Francisco with a maximum grade
Of but per cent.
Every one at all familiar with the
situation and with modern railroad
construction knows that "along the
lines that l Matthews have sug-
gested," there would be no railroad
up the Deschutes, and without a rail-
road there would be no development.
The Borahs and Ballingers of the
west have the confidence of the west
ern people who are retaining this
land from the wilderness and desert.
AS true western representatives of
the west they know far better what is
needed here than than either million
aire faddists of the Pinchot type or

type.-Portland OregOnian.5
