Superintendent Aldrich was elect
ed member of the educational coun-
Gil, representing the elementary and
graded departments. and he was also
made member of the committee to
make report on the presidents adj
dress. Miss Harriet Solomon, a
teacher in the high ~chool, was elect,
ed secretary-treasurer Of th~ mathe-
mates round table.
A meeting of the Iowa Principals
Association was held Frida. after.
noon. One of the important rules
made was that no pupil attending
school in one city should change his
place of residence and attend a high
school in another city, unless his pa
rents or guardians also changed their
! place of residence to the same city
This rule was made chiefly to keep
high schools from getting star ath-
letes from other schools. Keokuk is
not affected by this rule, as there
has never been any action of that
kind here.

REMOVAL OF The
FOREST SERVICE

Ogden, April s.-The removal
of the headquarters of the Forest
Service to the West has had the
effect of bringing the users of the
National Forests in much closer
touch with the policies of the Ser
vice. This ia particularly true of
the stock owners; and is borne ont
by the organization during the past
few months of many local livestock
Associations, for the purpose of CO.
operating with the Forest Service in
the administration OF the grazing
lands within the National Forests.
It Is the desire of the Forest officers
to profit by the experience of th'
stoekmen, and meet their wishes ir
making range allotments just az fal
as possible. This can best be &C
complished through such liYestocl
Associations as are being organized
/ Through an Advisory Board con

WIN BEST
PART OF THE TICKET
Elect Mayor, Four Councilmen and City
Clerk--Election Day was Stormy,
But Good Vote was Cast.

Last Tuesday for the second time
IN the history of Montpelier the
city election was conducted on parti-
san lines and for the second time
the democrats got the best end Of
the ticket, electing their candidates
for mayor and clerk and four Of the
six councllmen. The republicans
won out on treasurer, police Judge,
engineer and two councilmen.
Although the day was cold and
disagreeable one, there were 57l
votes polled, the largest ever polled
at city election. However, there
were about $50 registered lwho did
not vote. The total vote cast by
wards was as follows: First, III;
Second, 153; Third, 1917.
The campaign was short one
and was probably as clean one as
was ever conducted in the city. The
democrats went into the fight with
a much better organization than the
republicans, which materially as.
sisted them in winning the victory
they did. In fact, in the First ward
the democrats worked harder Tues
day than they ever did at any pre-
vious city or county election. TIL,
work there was mainly IN the inte
SITS of their candidates for mayor
and clerk, and it resulted in swell
ieg the formers majority and say

by the members Of each Association
as provided under the National For
est Regulations, the stockmen are
consulted with regard to any con-
templated action on the part of the
Forest Service IN all matters relat-
ing to the grazing of livestock on
the National Forests. Not only are
stoekmen given an opportunity to
be heard on all questions affecting
the use of the range, bnt the Ad-
visory Board, as their representative
also accompanies the Forest officers
on their annual inspection of the
range, and on The ground suggest
needed changes which would result
in the improvement and more con-
seryative use of the range.
The experience Of the Forest Ser
vice 10 that the stockmen are more
than anxiouf to make the best pos
sible use of the range, and by reason
of their experience and knowledge
of local conditions, are able to sug-
gest the proper methods of range
management which should be carried

Portable majorities.
In the Second ward, which has
generally been close on councilmen,
Mike Malone defeated Chas. Sch

"To the Editor:-The state Of
Idaho has been selected sponsor for
one of the great battleships Of the
United States navy. For many
years il has been customary for the
people of the state thus represented
10 present to the battleship silver
service of appropriate design and
character. No such step has as yet
been taken on the part Of the people
of Idaho iii this matter. 1t is entire
ly proper and appropriate that steps
should be taken in recognition of
the fact that this vessel now consti-
tutos part Of theTtightirg force Of
the United cta'es navy, having been
in COMMISSION for more than year.
s.ldsh, is proud Of her representa-.
tion in the navy. Her boys have
quickly won for themselves distln-
guished honor and high rank as
officers and whether the battleehip
Idaho is commanded by Idaho men
or not we conf lently count on the
ship sustaining the honor of the
state wherever and whenever called
upon TO defend or assert the same.
1t is nigh time that the people took
up this question for action. An ap-
propriate silver service could be
purchased for something between
$1,000 and $4,000. This sum
should be contributed by all Of the
people from childhood TO old age
They should be taught to have pride
in the fact that they had contributed
whether the sum be very small o.
large. Subscriptions hoastful II
size should not be either solicited
or received. 1t is not an occasion
for advertising any person but on
for open.handed, patriotic partici
patton. Every school in the stat
should be advised that the moYemen
is on and the purpose should be eS
planned TO the children and the
should be given an opportunity, q
il the case of the Washington moHu
ment, TO know that they had cor
tribnted their mite to this purpose
There are fifty thousand schoc
children in the schools of Idaho
Five cents apiece from them wonl
realize $25o0. This would be
splendid tribute tc the children an
to the state and 10 tire oceasio
generally that the school childre
should haye contributed such a pr
portion Of the necessary sum. /
divlduals other than the school chi
dren could readily make up the su

ARIZONA AT HEAD or
 ALL COPPER PRODUCERS

For the first six months of 1909 Arizona led the world in the prOdue- tiOn of copper, maintaining the su- premaey she has held since 1907. The estimated production of June was 27, ,S62, ,O00 pounds, an increase of 190,000 pounds over the May output Data now available from the various camps of the territory indicate that the present rate of production will be maintained and possibly exceeded during the month of July. The Ari- zonf production has consistently ex- eeeded that of Montana during the first half of the present year. In spite of the fact that the Amalga- mated has been operating at its full capacity during that period, Arizona's average excess of production over Montana during the first five months of the year was approximately 4,OOO, 900 a month, while the territory's June output was 2,6sO,OOO pounds more than MOntana's, and led the Lake Superior district by 7,3OO,000 pounds, her production being about 25 per cent of the total production of the American continent during June.

NEW MANAGER FUR HUMBOLDT
 ARRIVES
Plant to be Put Into Shape for an Early
 Resumption
(From Saturdays Daily)


 The practical beginning of work on the Humboldt shelter, and its op- eration in the near future, is the ar rival in Prescott yesterday of W. H. Bennetts from Tacoma, Wash, a shelter man of prominence, both as constructor and operator This gen tleman arrived on the early train, and immediately thereafter left for Humboldt in a private conveyance. He was accompanied by his private secretary, H. L. Rogers, also from Tacoma.
 MT. BenBetts iwin be. manager of the smelter, assuming charge at once, it being his intention to get it in shape at the earliest possible date to handle the immense tonnage that IS available in this field. To do this it will be necessary to make exten- alterations to the plant, while the. ground plans will also be materially changed.
 Following the election of Mr. Sehall as the president of the company, to- gether with the selection of a board of directors, the appearance of MT. Bennetts on the scene at this par tieular time makes certain the early resumption of work.

 is making a general physical examin-

 footed animals. The inspector is sta
 tiOned at Wilcox and has been as
 far east as Kansas City.
 Early Tax Payer.
 Ed. COntreras, a Hillside cattle
 man, was visitor to Prescott yes terday. In looking over the tax roll of the current year he made inquiry as to the amount he owed the coun- ty, paid his tithe, got on his horse, and went back to the range. He is an exception to the. general run of county patrons, who are prone to dodge the tax man until the last moment.
 Prominent Attorney Returns.
 Attorney E.. s. Clark returned to his home in Prescott last night after a trip to Washington and other east ern eenters. While away MT. Clark presented the Flagstaff case to the interior department at Washington, involving the right of that city to the water springs of the San Fran cisco mountains, the same being claimed by the Santa Fe railroad. Other matters of an industrial na- ture were also handled by the at torney while he was in eastern cities. He Likes Prescott.
 Francis Wolpe of Phoenix, has joined his family here and expects to remain for several weeks. Mir Wolpe thinks there is no better sum- mer climate than that on tap in Prescott, where he formerly lived The beautiful scenery, bracing air, high altitude, and, best of all, the fne water, makes it a very much nicer place to rest in than any of the cities on the coast.

 Reports from Thursdays storms state that landslides occurred at Jer- ome, near the Montana hotel, and at Vieksburg, on the A. 6 c. rail- road. At Jerome an embankment about ten feet high was washed over the main wagon road, stopping traf- fe for few hours, until the dirt and bOulders were removed. At Vieksburg, the soil covered the rail road track to several feet in depth, interfering with traffic for a short time.
