Although il is true that number OF old

Broome Countyites and Com

Big Bill Edwards had a party last
night at the Aston and the guests persisted
one after another, in telling stories of the
ca rly life of New Yorks Street Cleaning

County most Of them many years ago but
few Of them Just came down last night
especially for the annual dinne- OF the
Rroome County Association, which was
mainly Big Bits affair.
Every man in the room said he was a
native of Broome except Job L. Hedges.
and he announced that it didn't make any
difference what county man came from,
they were all together at work in the city.
Further, he told them that the general i'm
preston that the country or upstate man
made a bigger hit in New York than the
native was wrong. II was just ihat the
man from the country had the moral cour-
age to be little more natural than the
native New Yorker. he explained.

TUNGSTEN ON
CLEARWATER
Eastern Man Discovers Ledge
Bearing 40 Per Cent of
the Valuable Ore.

George v. HAIRLESS, of Illinois, who
has been prospecting on the Clear.
water this summer, went into Spok-
ane last week with a large quantity
of samples which he had gathered
up, among which he discovered when
he had them tested that he had some
very rich tungsten ore. The Spokes-
man in commenting upon the matter
says:
Mr.. HAIRLESS, when he reached Spo-
kane, did not know the value of his
find, nor did he know what mineral
the samples he brought carried until
after visit to a local assay office.
Tests made of the ore showed 1T to
run 40 per cent tungsten.
Mr.. Harliss, who located only one
claim on the tungsten ledge, Is reti-
cent as to the exact location of his
find, but says that 1t Is on the North
Fork of the Clearwater He intends
to return to the district as soon as
the snow melts in the spring, and
make extensive locations, covering
the groupings of the ledge, which he
says, can be traced for fully $500
feet.
Harliss left Thursday morning for
O'Fallon. H., to spend the winter
with relatives.

U. S. WOOL GROWERS FOR
PORTLAND,

The annual convention of the Ma
tional Wool Growers Association
which meets in Portland January
4 to 8. will be the BIGGEST and most
important gathering of sheep rails
ers held in America for years. Ques-
tions of vital Importance to the sheer
industry are to be considered and the
future policy of the wool interests
are to be outlined.
According to those high in the cour
cilss of the organization, little support
for the wool men may be expected
either from President Taft or the
next congress. Both, 1T seems, are
determined to lead Schedule X to
the slaughter in revising the tariff
bill The friends of the threatened
schedule would leave the subject to
the tariff board, but it is said Presi-
dent Taft feels that the public ex-
poets further tinkering with the rat.
es on wool and woolens and he Ia
determined to accede to their de
mamds.
1t Is felt by the woolmen that their
side of the case has never been pre-
sented to the public fairly, while on
the other hand they charge the agi
tation which has arisen against them
to the mudslinger and the muckrak
er I'M the sensational magazines.
Schedule k said d. o. Lively
chairman of the general arrange
ments committee, will be the milk u
the cocoanut as far as the conven-
tion is concerned. It is the life OF
the wool trade and when 1t is threat
ened the existence of the wool in
dustry is in danger. Woolgrowers
adj over the country are alarmed al
the rapid advancement of the senti'
ment for a change in the wool she'd
ules of the tariff"
The program as now outlined. in
cludes many speakers of national
iff matters and other subjects of vita
Importance to the wool industry
A great sheep and goat show will
be held dan connection with the con-
vention, which meets at the armory
and prize animals from all over the
country will be ON exhibition. Breed
ers and woolmen are taking unusual
interest in the approaching session
and they will attend in very large
numbers. it being expected that nc
less than 5000 people directly inter
ested in the sheep busine ess viii be
in Portland during the four days Of
the convention.

CORN SUITED TO
LANDS HIGH UP
Raise 100 Bushels Per Acre
At Heretofore Prohib-
tive Altitude.

After 15 years experience, during
which natural selection has worked
out desirable sized ear of corn, the
experiment station at Gooding Is now
able to get 100 bushels of corn from
an acre, where, during the initial
years of the experimentation, but
few bushels could be obtained.
Don H. Bank In discussing the worl
which has been done and which in-
sures Idaho, Colorado and other stat
es of high altitude, where the nights
are cold, variety of seed corn dis
tinctly their own, said: 1.-The expert
ments have been carefully conducted
and the results are all that could be
desired.
1.-The difficulty In this state, as ut
is with others where the altitude is
high. is not the fact that the season.
are too short but that thenights are
too Geld to make good corn raising
possible, Fiito en- years ago, whe n
the corn experiments were FIRST in-
stituted, but six or seven rings were
to be found on cob, and the yeli
was corresponding1y small.
by selecting the largest of these
cans year alter year, good yield
was developed, and now we are able
to get 100 bushels to the acre from
a variety of corn which has dis.
tinct field in such attitudes as this.
THE results of these experiments
with the corn will be of great value
to Colorado and other states which
are OF a high altitude and where the
corn crop at best is rather small"

able to take care OF all the state war
rants school bonds and farm loans Of
fered to date, but the time has come
when large farm loans should cease
except, possibly, when the fund is alb
normally large. OF course 1t would
not be good business policy to hold
any considerable sum in the treasury
for any length of time, awaiting APP
paications for small loans, because
the funds should be kept invested anf
earning maintenance money. What
mean ITO say is that the small appM-
cations. say from $500 to $1,000,
should have the preference, and no
large loan should be granted while
smaller loans are pending. beheve
that every dollar the state has to
loan can be loaned out to farmers
whose lands win justify loan of
from $500 to $1,000, and thus help
along a deserving class of homebuild-
ers in our state, rather than the spec
ulator.
81 am convinced that the state of
Idaho rs entitled to congratulations
of the highest degree for beneficial
results accrung from the operations
OF the state land boards of recent
years. OF course some mistakes have
been made-and so surely as the
Judgment of men are liable to err.
so surely will mistakes con tinue to be
made.
Mote the magnificent results, Ida
no has, 10000 miles of irrigation can
ais, completed or we'll under construc
ton. The state has AZ Carey act pro
jects, the canals for which are COM
pleted, or we'll under way, irrigating
$500, 600 acres. The cost of these
projects will be 5000, ,0CO, which is
outside capital brought into the state.
Idaho leads all other states i'm prog
ress made in irrigation. All of this
has been done within a very few
years, and our state land boards. un-
der whose direction these magnifi-
cent results have been attained. de-
serve great deal more credit than
they have ever been accorded. Their
mistakes have been magnified as
mole hills into mountains and their
achievements accorded too little
credit
