IDAHO NOTES.

The committee in charge of the ninth
annual rose fair at Lewiston have Sc
ected May 81 for the carnival.
The program for commencement
week at the Lewiston state normal
school opens June 3.
John "Speedyv Smith, a poultry
farmer on Placer creek, in the heart
of the Occur d'Alene mining district in
northern Idaho, has stationed several
talking parrots as policemen on his
ranch to drive off hawks and mountain
rats, and raids on his pens are now
things Of the past.
Many requests are now coming in to
the Lewiston normal appointment com
mittee from school boards and super
intendents for teachers for grade and
rural schools in all sections of the
state.
Recently the new s0-foot twin screw
tug boat of the Dover Lumber com
river and christened the Diamond ID.
The new boat is guaranteed TO run IS
miles an hour, and will be the fastest
boat on Pend Oreille lake.
Owing to the fact that the new man
ual arts building at the Lewiston nor
NAL will not be completed until Aug
ust, there will be no spring session
this year at the normal.
Eight cars were wrecked one mile
east Of Granite, on the main line Of
the Northern Pacific Saturday from
some unknown cause. No one was
hurt.
Tuesday, June z, will be Alumni day
at Lewiston State normal.
Because the commissioners of Idaho
county used money derived from leases
on the Nez Perez forest reserve
on roads in other parts Of the county
than in the reserve, where as is stip-
ulated under the forest reserve regu-
lations governing the apportionment
Of such funds, il should have been
used, the county will receive this
year but s3,7s1 as against s15,945 in
1909.

FARM PRODUCTION INCREASES
Whole Northwest 70 See Wonderful
Change in Next Five Years.

Commercial conditions in every city
and town in the western grain-growing
states will be changed before 1915 as
the result Of increases in farm produc-
ton, if the plans Of the Dry Farming
congress, which has headquarters in
Spokane, are carried out as planned
by the national officers, headed BY
Congressman +. w. Mondell of
Wyoming and the Washington board
of control
John T. Burns, secretary Of the or
ganization, who compiled the follow
ing data, believes the cooperation of
the farmers Of the country in this
movement viii bring about greater
transportation development, increased
marketing and milling facilities and
corresponding gains in every line of
trade and commerce. He says:
1.-THE total acreage Of the 20 wheat
growing states was about 33,265,000 in
1909, and the average acre production
was POS bushels, OF At bushels above
the general average for the United
States. The greatest increase was in
the states where the most attention
has been given TO scientific methods.
1.-TWO hundred million acres of I'M
occupied lands in the western states
can be placed under the plow within
the next four years if we push the dry
farming propaganda TO its limit, and
Of this fully 50,OOO,0O0 acres will be
wheatproducing land. This increase
in acreage means a farm production
which will change the commercial con
ditions Of every city and town in the
western states
Experiments in the states, where
dry farming is practieed, show we can
increase the production Of wheat by at
least five bushels the acre, and, taking
it upon the basis Of the present acre
age, this means a total Of 166, 175 900
bushels additional yearly in the west
ern states alone. Figured upon a nom
inal increase, which we might place
upon double the present acreage, this
means an annual wheat production Of
702, 1854 900 bushels In the western
states, or almost equal the yield Of the
entire country in 1909"

Up in the Air

We have had a practical demon
stration Of air navigation in the past
week, and now we know that man
can fly. The actual usefulness Of
this achievement has yet to be
shown. We are not sure yet that
society will be improved or man
kind made more happy by flying,
and | am inclined to believe that the
discovery of flying will cause fur
ther decay of the noble art of walk
ing. There are too many mechanical
devices for doing things, and each
one decreases to a certain extent
the physical and mental powers of
the individual, and finally the race.
The Zulu warrior who can run 20
miles at the same speed as a fast
horse possesses a certain advantage
over the man who can make a ma
chine and fly in it.

The Negro and Health in Wash
ington

1t is very necessary that our peo-
pie be taught the importance of
cleanliness, good food and proper
clothing, and it is easier to teach
them these lessons than other sub
merged peoples, because they form
the ignorant and poor class by a
controversion of the social principle
which operates to form classes in
society, and their status as to class
place is not firmly fixed, as it is
among other peoples.
hate to say it, but Washington
is backward city. The civic spirit
has no being here, and municipal
progressiveness is unknown. Cities
of half size have public baths and
many other public couveniences I'M
known here. The laws and ordi-
nances regarding sanitation areneg-
lected, or administered in a care
less way, particularly those relating
to inspection of food and plumbing
The municipal government is re-
sponsible for these things; also for
disease-breeding weeds, stagnant
pools of water, dirty alleys, unin-
habitable shacks and mud streets.
The general government should re-
claim the flats and protect the water
supply from pollution. Much can
be done to improve health condi-
tions and lower the death rate.

whsrs Matrimonx Scores.

DR.. jacques BertillOn, the eminent
French physician and an acknowl'
edged authority, announces the con-
clusion that matrlmony is the greatest
aid to longevity. He says II men and
women would reach good old age
they must marry. This, he says, Is
established by statistics Cleaned from
all over the world. A married man
or woman has, he says, thrice the
chance Of a good long run as a bach
elor or a spinster. In further illustra-
tion of his contention that the welded
life Is best for men he shows that the
mortality among widowers is greater
than the average among married men.
So he recommends them to look out
for a new partner--that Is, at any rate,
if they are under sixty. This is his
advice to young men:
marry. You will do well, even from
selfish standpoint. But watch care
fully over your wife's health, as even
from this egotistical point of view her
loss will be terrible misfortune, for
your life depends in great measure
on her own"
DR.. Bertillon finds that the mortality
among widows is much greater than
among married women of the same
age. The death rate Of widows from
twenty to twenty-five years of age, he
says, is twice that of married women
of the same age. .........
But the doctor very CALAMITY finds
that women have less need for men
than men have for women. Men are
less careful of their habits and are
unable to live so near the ideal life
when deprived, either by design or
circumstance, of the watchful care of
wife. When we live under the rule
of matrimony we gain. When people
leave this influence they suffer, he
concludes.

VANITY FAIR
Conducted by JOHN II. WILLS.
The Main Difference Between Civilized Man and the
Savage Is-Savages Don't Read.
"How to Vote
Conducted BY JOHN H. WILLS

A certain historian, writing on
American politics, said that it was
not until after the Civil War that
the idea of nationality developed in
the minds of the American citizens.
Even now that idea is dim in many
minds, as the following extract will
show:
1t is better, other things being equal,
10 have both branches of the National
Legislature and the President belong to
the same party, SO that action may be
free and responsibility fixed, and it is
also well to encourage the progressive
movement in States where it is alive
But it is always to be remembered that
the chasm between Bourbonism and pro-
gressiveness is greater than any differ
ence that can be deserted between the
general principles of the two traditional
parties. In Ohio, Maine, Vermont or
Connecticut, for example, we should vote
the Democratic ticket; in Wyoming the
fusion Democratic Insurgent ticket; in
Pennsylvania the Keystone party ticket ;
in States like Washington, Wisconsin,
California, New Hampshire, Kansas,
Iowa, New York and other States where
the progressive wing is in control we
should vote Republican, always except
ing cases where particular issues or spe-
cial candidates furnish reasons for diff
ferent course. 1t is only fair 10 add that
in certain States, like California and
New Hampshire, the Democrats have, in
both candidates and platform, taken
ground very similar to the insurgents =
Golfers Weekiy, October IS.
All this is true in a local sense,
but apply it to the nation as a unity,
and it is not SO true, and the ques-
ton arises: "Is it better to keep
the Legislative branch of the Gov
ernment under control of the Repub-
lican party, which is striving fol
good government and trying to
overcome error and evil, or to place
in control party noted for stupid
ity and unhtness?"
The Insurgents and Progressives
are but evidences of the active work
ings toward ideals for common
good, while the maclline-ridden
Democratic party has developed no
sign of progress or desire to free it
self from the chains i'll which the
Solid South holds it bound.
The national forum., 1910-10-22
For Revenue Only

As evidence Of the truth of the
above, the same issue of Golfers
quoted above shows clearly that
Southern Senators and members of
Congress were insincere in their
tariff declarations, and were willing
and easy tools of the interests. In
Democrat or Republican? Mr.. Sulli-
van shows how Southern Democrats
we're staunch supporters of high
tariff.
The Democratic misrepresent-
atives' are in Congress by fraud,
and it is only natural and easy for
them to be party to fraud and cor
ruption.
