Edgar Allen Poe in a
Mausoleurn Of Mediocrity.

Allen Poe has been ordered to be
scratched on a marble slab In the so.
called Hall Of Fame of the University
OF New York. Five years ago the cen.
ate Of the university, composed Of
some very narrow minded and
bigoted presidents Of colleges. decided
that Poe was no. worthy to be placed
IN this arbitrary Pantheon. Tho su.
blime genius who wrote "Ulalun'e"
and THE Fal, of the Housc Of Usher"
was excluded while a great deal Of
talent of mediocre ability and Of 1cet.
Ing and transltory fame vas included.
Edgar Allan Poe In regarded By
scholars. litersteurs and poets az the
only poet this country has ever pro.
duced. who possessed the true poetic
spirit In its highes. form. Walt Whit.
man possessed grand poetic Ideas, but
he expressed them In rough and un.
cou.h words. That is not true poetry.
Poetry Is grand thought linked with
immortal verse. when this ideal Is
held up there can be only one opinion,
that Is that Edgar Allan Poe was the
greatest Of American poets and the
only American poet who took and
held nrst rank, along with Shelley.
Keats and Tennyson.
During the lifetime of the sad.
hearted Poe. It was fashionable for
the self.styled Olympians OF New
England to decry all his work and he
was bitterly slande-ed by rivals who
were jealous Of his wonderful poetic
power. and many of his traducers arc
only remembered as such while their
writings have gone into we'll merited
oblivion.
Five years ago the so-called Hall Of
Fame rejected Poe. At once, a hue
and cry went up and the Pantheon NJ
American fame has been more or less
Of jeke since.
Poe does not need any renown tina.
the Hall of Fame can give give him,
but the Hall does need Poe. Without
him II would be still more ridiculous
than II Is and he will outilve the hall
and the members Of the senate who
have recently elected him, by ages.
When remembering that 1t was not
the force of public opinion alone that
caused the senate to accept Poe, but
that II was final triumph Of his own
poetic genius, it Is pertinent to repeat
this stanza from one Of his r&Jt beau
tlful poems:
I pacifed Psyche, and kissed her,
And tempted her out Of her gloom
And conquered her scrples and
gloom,
And VIC passed to tie end Of the vista,
But we're stopped by the door Of a
tomb
BY the door OF legended tomb:
And I said. What is written, sweet
sister.
On the door Of this legended tomb -
She replied, "Uulalume! Ulalume!--
'Tis the vault Of thy lost Ulalumei"

when he was secretary. Chief Engin-
eer Davis of the reclamation service
went upon the stand with complaint
that Secretary Ballinger had threat
ened to reorganizc the service, but it is
difficult to see wherein that is any re-
Election upon the Secretary.
AS the case developes it becomes ap-
parent that the whole hullaballOo was
caused by Secretary Ballinger's de-
clared intention to correct what he re-
garded as abuses and ineficiency in the
forestry bureau and reclamation ser
vice. This set Pinchot, Garfield and
Newell by the ears and thtey entered
upon a campaign to discredit the Sec
rotary as a means of indicating
themselves. 1t seems to be largely an
official family quarrel, in which person
al animosities figure largely, and moth
ing has developed thus far to indicate
that any great public interests are in
volved.-Rupert Pioneer Record.

NECESSITY FOR
new RAILROAD

The present disturbed condition of
all of the transcontinentlI lines from
Winnemucca east has forcibly i'm
pressed tn railway managers that
another north and south line is abso-
lutely neces sary east of the Sierras to
avoid the long detours made necessary
at the present time by destructive
washouts on the Humboldt nd east
ern Nevada that destroyed the San
Pedro & Salt Lake road. A road
from Winnecmucca north would afford
a safe, all-the year route and in times
like the present detour that would
add but a few hours to the normal
schedule. Then, by continuin" the
Los Angeles viaduct line to Winnie
mucca, traffic could be carried on wi h
out hindrance, even if tn True ee
route should be blocked, which is to-
often the case.
The Winnemucca route is pra "all
the only one that will insure unintar-
rupted traffic at all times from The
east to the Pacific coast and vice
versa, regardless of snow and floods,
that would immune from heavy
grades. Evidently great railroad men
"In view of the activity OF the Har-
riman and Hill interests in southern
md east IN Oregon, and northc aStern
California, it is interesting to call
at this time the fact that about four
years ago there was Incorporated the
San Francisco, Idaho & Mont ma rail-
way company, which was said to have
been financed in New York for 3d.
100000 to build 210 miles of rail
road on which work was to be COM
menced at once. This road is to give
tho pr sperous Snake river valley
direct line to the cost, as it would
connect with the Pacific main line at
Winnemuccp, Nevada. Its other end
Oregon Short Line at Twin Falls,
Idaho. The Southern Pacific in New
ada from Sparks to Ogden, is also
under the management and name of
the Oregon Short Line. From Twin
Falls the min agricultural regions of
Idaho and Montana arc reached by
direct line. In the Snake river coun-
try whole empire is being opened up
to settlement by the government and
private cap.ta by the constructor of
immense irrigation enterprises on
which it is said total of no less than
$15 600 600 is beng spent. The Pitts
burg syndicate which is investing so
many millions in the Sacramento val
ley, at present, has another giant col
onizltioH enterprise in the Twin Falls
country.
The new road has been under con-
struction for some time, it is under
stood and when completed will bring
the Snake river valley GOO miles nearer
to Sacramento and San Francisco. 1t
will be the shortest route available be-
tween the cnast and the Snake river
country and will afford Sacramento
merchants new field of CONNER e.

mento as to what he proposed to prove
against the secretary and wound UP
by admitting that he knew nothing to
Ballinger's discredit except what he
had been told by others. He charged
Ballinger with stating three false
hoods to the president and then admit

contained in letter written by some
one else, and to cap the climax he was
forced to admit that he himself had
made at least three statements to the
president that were untrue. He also
admitted that he had spent $4,000 a
year oil public money to maintain a
press bureau to boost the forestry ser

FAVORABLE ACTION

day favOrably reported the bill which
passed the senate March |, providing
that entrymen on government irri-
cation projects may assign their en-
tries after five years residence, as
signee to complete the payments for
water before obtaining title.
The house committee put back into
the bill the clause which was stricken
out by tho senate on the motion of
Senator Borah, requiring that assign
ments be made only to qualified
homesteaders. The senate will under
take to defeat this amendment if the
bill is nassed by the house, astoday

ported the senate bill granting leaves

ARBOR DAY
PROCLAMATION

Ono of tthe most significant attrib
utes oil our higher civilization is the
love of humanity for all beautiful
thing.
The greatest nations of the earth in
their prosperity have turned their at
tention to the perfecting of beautiful
works of art and especially to archi-
lecture and landscape gardening. The
historical buildings and castles of the
Old World are lent their greatest
charm by the beauty of the surround
ing trees and shrubbery and flowers
In America today vast sums are be-
Ing spent annually by municipalities
and the general government in beau
tifyine the streets and highways, and
in the establishment of parks where
the people may have an opportunity to
rest and enjoy themselves.
Idaho's resources and tho wonder
full progress being made by its peo-
pie arc fast becoming hnushoId words
in tho east. Every year thousands OF
people como to investigate and to stay
and become one of us and n factor in
the states great development. We
should make our farms and cities,
our homes and schoolhouses and
churches as attractive to them as our
picturesque streams and mountains.
Tho Legislature of Idaho, with far
seeing wisdom, has provided for the
setting apart of day in each of the
counties by tho county superintend-
ent of public instruction, to be dedi-
Gated to the appropriate observance
of Arbor Day. l, therefore, recon-
mend that the citizens of each county
observe the day designated by the
county superintendent by planting
trees and shrubbery and seeds, and by
educational and other exercises OBJ
serve tho spirit of the custom.
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of Idaho to be
affixed.
Done at the Capital in the State of
Idaho this 9th day of February in
the year of our Lord One Thousand
