IDAHO'S GREAT THAW.
Floods and Muds All Over The
"Arid' West.


"Arid' West.
Idaho has great 'Thaw" case Of
her own.
Not crazy Harry, but genuine ole
March Thaw.
Not booze, fizz-water, dope, coke, .
epileptic, emotionally insane; but just
Water, pure and undefiled.
And it's sure a big thing; the biggest
in the West.
drifted walks, the bitches, the rivers,
the balmy air, the muddy boots, the
kitchen floor, the children's clothing
yes, everything and everybody and
everywhere is full of this Idaho March
Thaw case
1t has the whole police court Thaw
family beaten Salt Lake City block
crazy Harry, and proud mama, and
the papa Thaw that nobody ever heard
Of except that he left widow and
spoiled son and lot of money, and lit
tie Eva, and indeed the whole bunch of
effete Fasteners.
For three months, winter was about
the busiest thing you ever saw. You
never got up in the crimpy morn, and
said in surprised tone, ''What, showing
Again?" No, indeedy! You mumbled
a preamble that the children were not
meant to hear, and wound up by saying
its showing Yet!--gr-r-r-rw Yes,
you did, three months, when you had
only three weeks hay and two weeks
coal, for the average winter. Oh, it
was Hiawatha winter, all right! 1t
piled Ossa winter on Pelion snowdrift, |
until you'd think the seventh stage the
refrigerator and the caves of everlast-
ing ice---of Dante's Inferno was here to
stay.
But it was right on top of this gloom
that the Thaw appeared; right at the
time when we'd begun to lose faith in
the almanac, the goose bone, the ''old-
est inhabitant, and every other kind
of weather authority. Weather prece-
dent failed, like the wabbly compass
that so frightened Columbus and his
pirate band as they sailed off the edge
of the known world and out into space.
But they kept a-sailing- they found
land! And SO did we--land beyond the
mountains of snowl
The thaw has been very general. And
strenuous, like Teddy interviewing {
nature fakir or railway president. In
the west part of the state, there have
been disastrous floods. Caldwell and
Nampa. and probably other towns, have
ost heavily. Dry gulches have been
transformed into raging torrents; dry,
evel prairies have become lakes and
eas. Richfeld has had no mail from L
Boise for five days; can't even find out
What all is the matter, though the flood 1
It Nampa, sinking track IL miles east
# Nampa, and two bad breaks at or
ear Glenn's Ferry are supposed to be
'art of the trouble.
There won't be any trouble here, i
hough the snow should go off in a sin
lie day. Richfield is so well drained
hat the only inconvenience can be a q
ew days mud. And when the drifts
re gone, and the water gone, won't S.
lie fields be fine for crops?
From present indications, there will 3
e no need of irrigating here until June
: even July.
And all this in "Arid" Idahol 8.

AUTO ITEMS ARE KILLED
and Cannon and Declines to Pay Their Chauffeur Hire.

Washington. June 13.-Two little $2.500 items for the maintenance of automobiles for Vice President Sher- man and Speaker Cannon are the only matters now in disagreement in the legislative, judicial and executive ap- propriation bill. There was only about one-third of qourum in the chamber when Representative Gillette of Mas sachusetts called up this conference report just before adjournment, but this corporals guard sat down good and hard on the automobile items.
 Mir. Gillette suggested that there had already been sufficient conversation about these matters and that vote be taken without any more foolish ness, whereupon the appropriation of S2,500 for the vice-presidents auto was voted down, 63 to A. The item for the speakers auto was voted down, 71 to AS.

Washington, June 13.-AlthOugh the .otton crop Of the United States in ,ah9 was the smallest produced, since ,sOs its value was 19.2 per cent more han that of 1908, and, measured by Hs yarn-producing quality and by the financial results to the growers, 1t WAS the most valuable ever produced. This statement is taken from the troOf sheets of the United States cen us bureau bulletin 107 on the pro- duction of cotton in 1909, prepared by William M Steuart, chief statistician for manufactures, assisted by Special Agent Daniel c. Roper. The bulletin will issue from the press of the gov. srnment printing office in a short time.
 The estimated value of the 1909 crop is given by the bulletin as $S12,- @s,S33, as compared with $6S1 230,956 for 1908 s700956,011 for 1907; $721,- Ni237 for 1906, and $632, 2,29S.332 for EO5 The amount of difference be- tween the 1909 and 1908 values is therefore $l30,S5S,S77, an increase of R2 per cent, as stated.
 The figures as finally compiled for the crop of 1909, including linters and counting round as half bales, show MSS6,2O9 running bales. amounted to MSl5SS2 bales. which is 3,271,924 bales, or A. per cent less than the total for 1908.

The bulletin refers pa leading engineering and mining Nanals statement that the worlds p'odueuon of gold in 1909, amounting n value to about s46OOo0.0O0. was tue greatest ever recorded; and it pla's out that the sum stated Is but asn'ly more than one-half the value VI 'ne American cotton crop last year.
