THE FIRsT WHITE SUPPLEMENT-.

The first white settlement in Idaho was made just fifty
years ago on the I4th Of June. This was in the farming
community of Franklin, in Oneida county. Within a year
thereafter, gold was discovered along the Clearwater and its
tributaries, in North Idaho, and the great gold rush began.
Thousands of men tramped across the fertile Idaho prairies,
seeking for gold--and finding it, toe, as the reports show
Florence Basin a production Of $3.50, 600, 900, Elk City $75.-
600, 600, Warren perhaps $40. 900, OOO, Boise Basin anywhere
from $50, 600, 600 to 500, 900, O00, and other localities con
tributed their share. 1t was a revel of gold: one ofthe great
est in the history of the world. Yet---the farm lands, and
the water, that go to make up the irrigation resources Of the
state, are worth SO much more that there IS hardly any com
parison. The cost OF the irrigation projects Of Idaho will
reach almost to the total gold production Of the whole so
years. The value OF the farms developed is several times as
great as the gold. And the farm development has only fair
ly begun.
And better still, the farms are here to stay. The gold
hunters picked the locks Of the great treasure houses in the
hills, carried away their plumber, and even the Florence ia-|
sin, the richest Of Them all, to-day hardly has a pony trail to
show for the millions Of gold the country produced. The
farming countries are pernnanent-they will be full Of happy
and prosperous homes ten centuries from today, instead Of
robbed and deserted. The farm development is so infinitely
better than the gold-hunting era, that Idaho should be CRATE
full that a better day is here.

A veteran railroad man gave a piece
Of valuable advice not long ago.
IF you ever get into a wreck he
said, and have time to follow out this
suggestion remember this: Always
stand in the aisle. Most of the in
jufies that arc suffered occur because
The victim is crushed between the
seats. If you are in the aisle you
may be thrown forward and bruised a
little, but there is much less chance
of receiving serious hurts. It isn't al

The Bogy Man.

There has never been time since
the close of the Civil war when the
prospects of the Democratic party
have been brighter than they are at
present" says Senator lsidor Rayner
of Maryland0 The Republican party
is divided, the masses have been be-
trayed, the interests have kidnapped
Mr. Taft, and so the Democrats are
about to come into their own. But
this is a day dream. AS the shades
of night fall, and "the beetle wheels
his droning flight" and the barn owl
boots, Mr.. Rayner sees a specter and
shivers. with dread. The prospect
he vaunts is not so bright after all.
He confesses it himself:
"Will Mr.. Bryan and his followers
permit the Democratic party to nomt-
nate a president of the United States
and to send to the people a platform
of its own construction? If he shall
insist, as | have no reason to think
he will, that he must select candt-
date for us and that he must frame
the platform, then we must rise in our
might and assert the principle that
no one man has the right to dictate
the nomination and formulate the
principles of the Democratic party"
The Hon. John Walter Smith, the
junior senator, also wants the party
to rise in its might. He serves notice
on Mr.. Bryan that he must not domi-
nate Such fears are sweetest incense
to Mr.. Bryan's nostrils. The palpita-
tions in Maryland reinspire him with
hope. Snubbed in Nebraska, fouted
in Ohio, he beholds the Maryland
senators going down on their marrow
bones and begging him to throw
away ambition and let the Democratic
party alone 1t must choose between
weakly yielding to him or bouncing
him without benefit of clergy. Either
fork of the road goes in the direction
of Salt creek.

WORK NOT DELAYED
INQUIRY INTO OPERATION OF
TARIFF SCHEDULES.
Charges That the Administration Is
Net in Earnest in This Matter
Shown TO Be Without
ANY Foundation.

Some rather sharp criticism lately
has been caused by the fact that per-
manent tariff commission has not yet
been provided for. The opinion is put
forward is some quarters that policy
of delay is being followed in the hope
that the demand for the commission
will be lost sight Of THE Republican
party has missed a great opportunity
to put itself right before the American
people" declares one of the critics.
Considering the usually well-informed
sources from which these comments
come they are somewhat surprising.
Those who know what is going on in
Washington are aware of the fact that
the work which would have been
turned over to the com mission is pro-
ceeding just as though it had been Gre
ated.
Some time ago President Taft direct
ed the existing tariff board to make
detailed, scientific investigation of the
operation of the tariff schedules. The
chairman of the board is in Europe
studying the methods of foreign tariff
investigators. Another member is in
france obtaining data on the home
costs of foreign products, in which he
Will be assisted by special treasury
agents and the consular service. A
third member has taken up his head
quarters in Chicago, there to give his
personal attention to wool and the mar
ket conditions and production of meats
and cereals. The statistical expert of
the board is about to go to Europe to
collate the facts and figures which the
work of the chairman has made avail
able.
The real investigators, however, will
not be the members of the board, but
business experts, who are being put TO
work rapidly. For instance, one OF
Carnegie's former engineers will COM
pile the report on iron and steel. Every
tariff schedule will be examined by an
expert in that particular line. Instead
of a small board being responsible for
the facts to be set before the president
they will be ascertained by the most
highly trained men that the govern
ment can procure.
This work will continue without in
| terruption until it is completed. How
much time it will require no one can
guess. But it seems that the president
will not consent to any further revision
of the tariff until authentic facts to
base it IN are at hand. If anybody
knows a better way to obtain them
than the one he has adopted he doubt
| .ess would be glad to hear about 1t.

Now Planning a Substitute for Beef

come to look upon the feeding as a
matter of course, and State Game
Warden Nowlin Of Wyoming, who has
led the feeding experiments, says that
the last Of the great elk herds is be-
coming rapidly domesticated. Several
in the Rocky mountain coun-
try have conducted private elk pre-
serves for years. Outside of the pri-
vate elk preserves there are few herds
left in the west.
Barret Littlefield, who lives near
Slater, has several hundred elk on his
great ranch. Every season he ships
many carcasses of elk to the Denver
market, besides supplying geological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found 1t profitable to raise elk for
the market-so profitable that he
abandoned the cattle business years
ago and has devoted himself entirely
to the raising of venison. There are
two other elk preserves in northwest
ern Colorado. j. B. Dawson, Routt
county pioneer, has several hundred
head of elk on his ranch near Hayden.
In nearly every state in the Union
the killing of deer is forbidden ex-
cepting in the fall and during linn
tied period If deer and elk are to be
raised for the market the venison
farmer must be allowed to kill for the
market, whenever the demand is there.

Great Party Record,

The work done in the first congress
under President Taft's administration
is far more extensive and important
than, at the outset, he, Senator Aid
rich, Speaker Cannon or any other
Republican expected. The Payne tar
if act, passed at the special session,
has been called by Mr.. Taft and other
Republican leaders the best law in it's
particular field ever enacted. 1t has
given adequate protection to every in
dustry which needed protection and
at the same time it has furnished
much more revenue to the govern.
ment than the Dingley act provided.
In a fairly satisfactory way it ad.
justed the tariff schedules to the
changes in conditions which came
since the Dingley law was framed in
1S97.-Leslies Weekly.

Tariff Law That Works Well.

The new tariff law is proving not
merely a good protective measure but
producer of income that puts it
ahead of laws enacted for revenue
only" The complete returns up to
April 30, which means ten months OF
the present fiscal year of the govern
ment, show that the customs receipts
were $252, 100000, which beats all rec
ords for tariff laws. This disposes of
the charge, made while the bill was
pending in congress and after its pas
sage, that it would be failure as
revenue producer. Another wallacy Is
exploded by the showing, through in
disputable official figures, that the
rate of duty is lower than any which
has been collected since the tariff
act OF 1883 went into effect. And 1t Is
to be remembe that this period in
cluded the operation of the Democrat
ic German Wilson law. That measure
slashed duties right and left, but this
was done with little care to protect
American interests, and the result
was that imported products came into
direct competition with domestic in
dustries. 1t is shown by the official
figures mentioned that the ad valorem
percentage of duties collected for the
full nine months, ended with April,
during which the new law was in ef-
feet was 20.91. This was not only
lower than at any time for a like Pc
riod under the much-abused Dingley
law, but below the Gorman-Wilson
rate, which averaged 21.01 per cent.
during similar terms of the three
years while the act was operative.
Again, the percentage of imports ad-
mitted free for the nine months in
question was 1889, against 44.31 un-
der the Dingley law and 48.42 under
the German Wilson act.

Bad Land Title Tangle Is Revealed

Washington, in the early days, by
very simple process. The territory
mot exceeding" ten miles square was
ceded to the United States govern
ment by Maryland and Virginia and
placed under the authority Of three
commissioners, appointed by the presi-
dent. They or any two of them were
required, under the direction of the
president, to survey and by proper
metes and bounds define and limit
district Of territory, and the territory
so defined was established as perma-
nent seat of the government of the
United States. Power was given the
commissioners to purchase or accept
land on the eastern side of the Poto-
mac, for the use of the United States,
and the commissioners were further
required to provide suitable buildings
for the accommodation of congress,
the president and public officers of the
government of the United States. It
lie buildings that the government
planned to sell its land to private par
ties.
No sooner had the capital city been
laid out than land spectators ap-
peared on the scene, and as result of
their operations, it is asserted, much
land which belonged to the govern
ment illegally passed to individual
owners.

A REPORT made to congress by a
"A commission appointed to examine
land titles in the District of Columbia
discloses that many lots of land occu-
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
withstanding the present tenants be-
lieve they have a clear title to the
property.
This question of land titles in the
national capital is not new one. Two
years ago congress created q commits
sion to study it. The commission con-
sisted of the attorney general, the sec
retary of war, Senator Scott of West
Virginia, Representative Bartholdt Of
Missouri, and one of the district COM
missioners. The report reveals hor-
rible land tangle, which the courts will
probably never be able to straighten
out. The tangle Is the outcome Of the
wild speculation in real estate that
took place for a good many years after
the capital was laid out.

Great Increase In Imports.

protective viewpoint, and yet under
the Payne-Aldrich tariff of 1909 there

nEER and elk preserves may play an
- important part in reducing the
high cost of beef. According to gov
ernment experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods
of raising venison, declare that the
game laws of the various states are
preventing deer and elk farming and
denying the country one of Its chief
sources of cheap and good meat. Deer
and elk can be raised readily in near
ly every state in the Union. They are
easily controlled and cheaply fed.
The increase of elk under domestica-
tion is fully equal to that of cattle.
The state and the government,
through it's Yellowstone park officials,
have co-operated with individual
ranchmen in caring for the vast herds
of elk in the Jackson's Hole region in
Wyoming. 1t is estimated that there
are 10000 elk in the Yellowstone park
region, constituting the only great
herd left. For two or three winters
these elk have been fed, and have now

WASHINGTON.-Ignorance on the

w part of amateur diplomats con-
cerning the proper form of diplomatic
correspondence nearly precipitated a
war scare in two nations not long
since. 1t was announced that the en-
peror of Germany had deliberately
affronted the United States govern
ment by employing affectionate terms
in addressing President Madriz of
Nicaragua, whom our government had
refused to recognize.
Great and Good Friend" is the
way the kaiser's letter to Madriz was

nificance to the amateurs. Immedi-
ately the newspapers were filled with
stories that Germany had espoused the
cause Of Madriz; that the Monroe
doctrine had been thrown down and
repudiated by the warlike kaiser; !;
Also the emperor had been acting
queerly of late and undoubtedly was
bent on making all the trouble he
could for the United States. After a
little inquiry the war scare faded
away.
