that they are in advance of public SEN
timent and not justified by conditions,
but there is growing sentiment in
favor of both, and a party which is
worthy of the confidence of the people
should be willing to take a position
upon live issues. This the republicans
have done and they look with conf
dence to the people for their approval;
The platform further declares for
a Carey act commission, laws making
possible the building of better roads,
economy of administration, revision of
the revenue laws, pure seed and fruit

the present local option law. 1t favors
constitutional amendments providing

ators by direct vote of the people and
for an income tax, and declares in
favor of a change in the homestead
laws, mrking the residence period
three instead of five years.

Not Democratic Victory.

Democrats will make great mistake
if they assume that the result in Maine
and the evident general dissatisfaction
with the republican party constitute a
democratic victory. Recent events
point the way to the democrats. They
are by no means a vote of confidence
in the democratic party.
In general it is fair to say that the
people of the United States feel that
the democrats have offered them moth
ing. In congress nearly half the dem
ocrats voted for protective duties that
progressive republicans were fight
ing. They voted against the tariff COM
mission. The excellent Railroad Bill
excellent as amended under the lead of
the progressives the house democrats
opposed.
What the regular republicans stand
for, men know. What the progressl-
YES stand for they know. What the
democrats stand for they do not know.
A sweeping victory for democratic
candidates at the November elections is
probable wherever there is no chance to
vote for progressives. But that will
merely be rebuke to the republican
organization.
People have no more confidence in
the democratic organization than in the
republican. The democrats have yet
to earn their place. They must come
out earnestly and sincerely for progress
sive principles. They have great OPP
portunity. But they will throw it
away if they assume that the country
is satisfied with the party as is stands
before the nation today. Kansas City

Too Busy for Plain Work.

Boise Statesman: With the demo-
Gratis favoring continuance under local
option and the republicans favoring a
statewide amendment. it looks as
though the state would be again torn
to pieces over question that it had
been hoped by many had been disposed
of. Possibly it will never be settled in
Idaho now. 1t has been going on in
Maine and in some other prohibition
states for good many years. Any
way, when we're raising the devil we
need not bother about working.

An Indian Friendship.

Greater love hath no man than this,
that he marries his friends wife and
liberates him from Jail;
About a week ago Charley Robinson,
a Bannock Indian, was arrested by the
police for being drunk and was fined
SIS by police Judge Moves. In default
of payment Charley was sentenced to
serve ten days in the city jail. Later
George Stone, another Bannock Indian
we'll known to the police, appeared be-
fore his honor with an offer to pay
Charley's fine. An effort to reduce the
amount failed, Judge Moyes standing
pat for $40 in coin Of the realm. George
explained that he had entered into an
agreement with Charley, by the terms
of which he (Stone) was to pay his
(Robinson's) fine and he (Stone) was
to marry his (Robinson's) wife. Hav-
ing no actual judicial knowledge of such
an arrangement, Judge Moyes accepted
the fine and Robinson was liberated.
1t remains yet to be seen whether the
conditions of the transaction are to be
carried out. Mrs. Robinson is a comely
member of the Bannock tribe, with
whom an interview could not be Sc
cured. --Pocatello Tribune.

Biz Game in Maine.

The ban on big game hunting in
Maine was removed on October LIST,
and the many small armies of hunters
who are already in camp or on their
way to the big woods will then be at
liberty to pursue the nimble deer and
moose and the bulkier bear. Veteran
guides report that Both deer and moose
are more plentiful in the great north
eastern hunting region this season than
for several years past, and that if the
sportsmen do not have good luck it will
probably be their own fault or that of
their guides.
Between fifteen and twenty thousand
deer were killed in Maine last season
and something like five thousand in
Vermont. 1t was an excellent season
in all of the deer states of New Eng
land save New Hampshire. AS against
this total for the deer, not more than
three or four hundred of the lordly
moose fell before hunter and guide.
For larger total bag of this game
animal it is necessary to cross the
border into New Brunswick, which is
the finest of all the nearby moose
grounds. The black bear can be found
pretty we'll all over Maine, but the
difficulties encountered in trailing the
marauders leads to a comparatively few
number of them being killed.
The state of Maine spends some
thing like $40, 900 a year for the pro-
lection of its big, game and fish, and in
this fact is found one Of the reasons
for the perpetuation of the "big game
of the region. 1t is not possible to
fully control illegal shooting by the
lumbermen in remote sections, but the
fish and game commission and its war
dens are very successful in keeping all
others within the bounds of the law.

Twenty-Five Years of Prosperity.

The completion of twenty-five years
Of steady prediction for a mine is
worthy of more than passing notice.
The Bunker Hill mine at Wardner,
Idaho, on Sept. 10, reached the twenty
fifth anniversary of its discovery.
This famous lead-silver mine was dis
covered on Sept, 10, 1885, by H. S.
Kellogg and Phil Q'Rolrke and a
jackass. Tradition has it that the jack
ass was the real discoverer, or the real
cause of the discovery. There may be
doubt on this point, but is no doubt
that one of the worlds greatest mines
was discovered or that day.
Since the beginning of mining opera
tons the mine has been big paying
proposition. On September 3, last, the
Bunker Hill, or the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan, paid dividend No. 156 of
$9S, 100, making q total of $12, OBJ, 5000
record unsurpassed by any lead-silver
producer. Although millions of dollars
worth Of ore has been taken from the
upper levels, developments at depth
have opened enormous ore bodies.
Present production is at the rate of
about 45, 900 tons per month. TIC the
present date the total ore production
is placed atlexer 1000, 600 tons and still
there is millions Of tons blocked out.
While this mine is an exception, it is
striking illustration of the possibili-
ties; open to the prospector and to the
investor in mining ventures. Such

A STRONG PLATFORM.

American Falls Press: The state
republican platform is not lacking in
vitality. Every plank is positive and
clear, and taken in connection with
the record of the party for keeping its
pledges, makes it doubly strong. 1t
does not deal in glittering generalities,
nor with matters of little public con-
Germ. Its trainers not only had the
courage to meet every issue squarely,
which has claimed the attention of the
people of this state, but they have
taken step IN Advance of any posi-
ton formerly taken. The features
which will be discussed are the decla-
rations favoring the submission of a
constitutional amendment for prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic to the people
for their decision at the general cleo
ton of 1912, and one favoring the
creation of non-partisan railway
commission: Both Of these planks win
meet with opposition on the ground

HOME.

There's little old house on little
old street.
In little old BIT of a town
Where the honeysuckle is breathing
sweet,
And nights as the sun goes down
A childish treble is raised in song
That fits in the perfumed gloam;
And, oh. the days that are hot and long
When am away from home.
There's little woman whose cheeks
are red
With the roses of days gone BY,
And you would know by the bending
And the red lips curving why
That wheresoeyer his paths may lead,
How far IN the world he fares,
The mans heart turns when the days
recede
To the woman and babes upstairs.
There's a big soft place in daddy's
heart
That aches when the night comes
=. down
When the woman and he are whole
miles apart,
And far from the dear old town,
He. knows. the babies are by their bed
With their mother near by. and then
The whisper comes from each curly
head;
Bring daddy home safe, Amen"

 FROM THE DEAD

The many friends in Prescott of j.. B. Kohl will be gratified to learn that the report which was current and which was later published, that he was dead in Los Angeles, proves to nave been unfounded. On the con trary, MT. Kohl is very much alive. In a letter to the JOurnal-Miner he says:
 "The amusing part of it is that quite a number of Prescott people, now living here, came over in a body to tender their sympathies to the grief stricken widow. They decided that I was the healthiest looking corpse they had ever seen for a long time, so we turned the wake into a jolly card party Will you kindly tell the people of the best little town in the Southwest that am well, have good position and nothing to com plain of. Family in the best of health. I expect to take the roao soon for large concern here, and will drop down and see you"

ARIZONA CENTRAL
 WORK PROGRESSING
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Satisfactory progress is being made in sinking by the Arizona Cen tral Copper company, and the ore showing is gratifying, was the report made yesterday by J. B. Cleveland, general manager, who is in the city on a brief business visit. MT. Cleve- land states that the main shaft is now at the 1000 foot level, and for the present no greater depth will be given, with the exception of sinking few feet for a stump. After this is completed the exploration of the ground will begin on an extended plan. Drifting both ways will be started as we'll as erosseutting to open the property for production.
 MT. Cleveland is very favorably impressed with the showing made at this depth, and anticipates making de- terminations that will be pleasing to all interested.
 The possibility of the water flow interfering with the work is to be taken care of, large electrical pump being on the ground to avoid any de- lay in the work planned. This util- ity will be placed in position by the time the stump is ready and drifting begins.
 The property has reached an i'm portant period in it's history and operations are attended by everything that warrants the creation of an other big producer. Mir. Cleveland will return to his camp today, and at present is a very busy man.

OVERSUPPLY- OF CAT TIE ON
 MARKETS

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. %. - Over-supply of cattle at all the mar kets last week helped buyers in their efforts to revise prices downward. The local supply was not excessive, 79,OO0 head, including 11,000 calves, but Chicago had 25,OOO Northwest ern rangers, in addition to a good run of natives, and Omaha also had too many rangers, and St. Louis hai big run of quarantines. Steer prices melted away 10 to 9 rents, and cows closed 10 to 15 cents low CT; calves about steady. lightweight stock steers have been much wanted. in anticipation of certain amount of soft corn in the country, in the event of a frost, which will require quick consumption. The run today is 27,OO0 head, with the market steady to 10 cents lower. Buyers appreciate their advantage, and take their time making their purchases. Stoekers and feeders are steady today, as the country demand is good There is more feed in the country now than any fall for three or four years. and several hot days lately, with pros poets for more of them, are ripen- ing much of the late corn. Range cattle are coming freely now Carey Bros. steers, from Hayden, Colo, sold to killers today at s4.5O@4sO, other beef ColOrados up to $5.25, cows S3.40@4.50, stockers up to $4.9O. feeders s5.4O. Some Wyoming cows at $40, and Idaho stoekers at $4.30@440. Panhandle and New Mexico cows are selling at $3.65@ 400, calves $4.OO@7.5O, a few at Ss; stock cows and heifers S3.1O0 4.5O, stock steers $3.5O@425.
 An extraordinary demand from the country for stock and feeding sheep and lambs is doing wonders for the market. Country buyers are taking suen a large percentage of the re- ceiPts, nearly one-half, that it leaves less than a normal number for the killers. Prices advanced a little last week, and are firm today, Utah kill ing lambs today at $6.75@7OO, feed ing lambs $6.25@6.5O, yearlings up to 5.65, feeding yearlings at $2.25@ 5.40, wethers up to $46O, ewes $4.35, feeding wethers up to S45O, and a big band of feeding ewes to- day at $3.55.

DELEGATES MAY
 RECEIVE NO PAY
Appropriation For The Statehood Election
 Running Low

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 23. - Whether the s1OO,OOO appropriated by the last Congress to pay the expenses of ushering Arizona into the Union will hold out until the entrance is effected, is just now puzzling Gov ernor Sloan and Secretary Young.
 In the Enabling Aea Congress fixed s1OO,OOO as the sum for defraying the expense of the election held on September 12th, the Constitutional convention, which may last sixty days, and the election to be held to ratify or reject the Constitution.
 Secretary Young estimates that the election just held has cost about s40,- 900, of which s7,OOO was in Coehise county alone and about s4,000 in Marieopa. The average of all the counties is placed at slightly less than $500.
 Legislatures in the past, in which there are only thirty-six members, have cost about s24,0O0. This sessian will have fifty-two members, and tRe cost may reach at least $30,0o0.
 Estimates of the election for sae ratification of the Constitution run even higher than the $4o,0O0 of ths election just held. But on the same basis this would make $S0,O00 for the two elections, wheih, with $30,000 for the convention, makes a total of $110,- 900, or. $10, 900 in excess of the amount appropriated by Congress.
 Secretary Young recently took up with the department the expense ae- count of the Constitutional convention, asking if there might be any imita- tions in the matter of clerks and other expenses of the session.
 Young received reply to the effect that the department had no suggest oins to offer, and that the amount of money they spend depends entirely on the desires of the delegates to the convention.
 Secretary Young is beginning to re- eeive from the Boards of Supervisors the expense bills for the last cleo ton. It will be several weeks be- fore the accounts can be audited ana vouchers issued for the payment of claims.

Yesterday, in the Probate Court, H. T. Andrews, guardian of the estate of George w. Towers, insane, who is confined in the Arizona asylum, filed petition asking for authority to enter into an optional contract for the sale of the mining claims owned by the estate, which will be eonsid- cred October 3rd. This procedure is taken in view of the interests of Mir. Tower remaining inactive and from which no revenue is derived. It is said that parties are now in the city who are desirous of taking over these mines and making them pro duetive. They are situated in the western part of the Bradshaw Noun tains, and since the owner has been in the asylum have never been op- erated The unfortunate owner was sent to Phoenix many years ago, and is pronounced ineurable
