The Ex-Governor has gained dis.

The Idaho public has certainly not
forgotten the strenuous times Of the

MONTANA WOOL
SITUATION
Montana Wool Growers Will Wait
For Advance in Price.
Rnmor Of Combine.

In an open letter to the wool grow
ers of Montana, George X. Reed,
president Of the Montana Wool
Growers association. advises the
holding of wool for an advance in
price, claiming that wool buyers and
mills are In a combine to keep the
price of the staple down He says in
part.
Many rumors have reached this
association of combine among the
buyers for the mills and wool buyers
themselves. This condition seems
borne out by the exceedingly low
prices being offered in this state at
present. We do not wish to state
positively that such a condition ex-
lists and wool buyers now In the state
are emphatic in their denials OF such
combine. From information gath
cred from many different sources 1t
is deemed almost certain that by
fall wool will be as higa as last year,
II not higher. Many of the repre-
sentatives of eastern wool houses are
urging the advisability of consigning
to their respective houses. An ad-
vance of from IA cents to II cents
Fer pound Is being offered by these
buyers, but 1t does not seem adNis-
able at this time to place our Mon
tana wool in the hands of the houses
who, II there Is a combine In exist
ence, are parties to the same. It
is certain that there will be a marked
change In the market very soon af-
ter the first of July, as at that time
the lightweight market opens in the
east and 1t Is thought that the mills
will begin to buy actively after that
date. Rumor of a few sales as low
al 16 cents are reported In Montana
but fortunately, said sales are very
few and are made under sealed bids.
Unless these clips were exceedingly
poor In staple, the acceptance OF
such a price seems ridiculous. Wool
growers throughout Montana are al
most universally I'm good financial
condition this year and with the ad
yances offered on consignments 1t
seems utterly inexcusable for a grow
er to take such prices as these. -

LACK OF BUSINESS ABILITY

Washington, July 23-There was a
good deal that might have been
done by congress which it failed to
do and now that the smoke has
cleared away and we have ceased
cheering the President for his sig
nal service in getting something he
wanted from Congress, it occurs to
us among other things that the Sen
ate Committee on Irrigation had re-
pert which was almost too hot to
bold and which it seemingly did not
dare to release for 1t allowed the ses-
SION to close without giving 1t to
the world. Last summer 1t Will be
remembered, this committee made a
very extensive tour of the Great West
visiting all of the irrigation projects
ard inquiring with much persistence
and curiosity into all the details OF
the work The gentlemen composing
the investigating committee learned
a great deal about the way in which
the Reclamation Service managed to
expend some scores Of millions OF
good public money, and now and then
somebody unguardedly made few re-
marks on the subject. 1t was said
that the irrigation enterprises in gen
eral cost much more than they would
have cost If carried out under private
management with private capital, and
that there was displayed a lack Oh
Business ability of the most elemen.
ttry sort that was almost appalling,
However. for one reason or another,
Senator Carter's committee never
seemed to get down to the point OF
putting its impressions and Its find
iugs on paper and handing the re-
port over to Congress. When the
next session opens, however, 1t Is
possible that the Senator will be able
to tell what he found out, and pos
sibly a few more things that he sus-
poets. Perhaps too, by that time the
Reclamation service may have been
recognized with a board of Army En-
gineers in control and there viii be

PRESIDENT OF
BRAZIL COMING
Marshal Foncesca to Visit in the
United States During
August.
Washington, July, 22-An event O

Washington, July, 22-An event Of
importance will be the visit to this
country next month of Marshal
Hermes da Foncesca, president-elect
OF Brazil. Marshall da Foncesca is
a nephew of that Manuel Deodoro da
Foncesca who was the first President
of Brazil under the Republic, and who
retired amid tumultuous outbreak
shortly after his accession. Like
his distinguished uncle, he has been
MILITARY man, going through all the
steps to the highest office in the mil
itary establishment. His rise has al
Sc been similar to that of President
Taft, who came to the Presidency
through the office of Secretary of
War. Since the first President, Bra.
zil has chosen her chief executives
from civil life, and under their guild
ance she has made great strides
commercially, industrially, and in
every field of education, art, science,
agriculture and general development.
The new President is a man of
great learning, progressive and en-
hghtened student, and possessed of
an ambition to see his country main
tain leading place in the affairs of
the world.
Marshal Foncesca will be accom-
panied on his trip to this country by
DR.. Jose Carlos Rodrigues, proprietor
Of the leading Journal of Brazil, ell
Journal do Commercio. The party
will sail from Liverpool July 80 on
the Mauretania and will arrive at New
York August 5. The itinerary for
the stay in this country has not been
mapped out, but the party will re-
main here for 2S days, and will vis-
it number of large cities, perhaps
extending its journeyings as far as
the Pacific Coast Marshal Foncesca
will visit the President and Secre-
tary of State, and the latter will di-
rect the general official ceremonies
i'll honor of the distinguished visitor.
John Barret, director of the Bureau
of American Republics, has been dn
communication with Mayor Gaynor of
New York, and the mayors and cham
bers of Commerce in a number of 9TH
er cities, regarding the entertainment
of the Brazilians. AS Mr. Barret will
be in Europe when the party is here,
he will not have any personal connec-
tion with the visit.

The forthcoming visit of the next
president of Brazil naturally recalls
the visit of the last Emperor of that
Country, Dom Pedro H. From chron-
icles of the time it is noted that the
Emperor, the Empress and their suite,
leaving the Princess Imperial to act
as regent of the Empire, sailed for
New York on the merchant steam
ship Hevelius, arriving at New
York April Is, 1876. The Emperor
was the only monarch who had ever
visited this country UP to that time,
and his grandfather Dom Joao of
Portugal, was the only legitimately
crowned European potentate who ev-
er placed foot on the continent of A.
merica.
AS in his European trip, which he
had made a year or two before, the
Emperor travelled incognito as pri-
vate citizen coming, as he said, as
'the first citizen of Brazil" to be
present at the Centennial Exposition
which was the celebration of the
close of a century of freedom in a
great constitutional country, and to
aid in representing the products and
the industries of the second nation
on the American continent Indeed,
he felt that the representation of
Brazil at the great exposition was
of far more and exceeding" import
ance than demonstrations to the mon
arch of Brazil.
AT the opening of the exposition
in Pit felphia on May 10, the EN-
peror lie Empress and their suite
took their places with the Diplomatic
Corps and Cabinet, and after the op-
ening of the Exposition the Emper-
or accepted the invitation Of President
Grant to accompany the latter around
the building. Jointly they pressed the
small lever which started the great
Corliss engine, which furnished power
to the vast quantity of machinery
on exhibition.
After this, the Emperor traversed
the country from New York to San

Francisco, and from the Great Lakes
| to the Gulf. He spent sixteen hours
| day sightseeing and investigating
everything. of interest. He left the
Country in the middle of July.
The Brazilian representation at the
Exposition was very fine and drew
many comments of appreciation from
the public and the press. One writ
er said THE Brazilian department
III it's external appearance, and the
arrangements of the vast collection
proved exceedingly attractive, and re.
dunded to the credit of the Commit.
tee representing Brazil at Philadel.
phia, of which Sr. de Carvalho Borg
es, the minister plenipotentiary to
the United States, was ex-officio pres
icent, and, Sr. Lopes Netto was vice
energy of Sr. Lopes Netto that the
arrangements We're so tasteful and
complete. The Brazilian department
called forth great admiration from
the people of the United States.
Brazil had 1104 exhibitors and re-
calved 42l premiums, thus leaving
at a great distance the other states
of South America. The Argentine
Confederation and Chill are of the
Spanish American republics the first
in progress and prosperity. The former
received so and the latter forty pre-
Nuns. Brazil, i. e., Portuguese A
merica has a free population equal
to twice the inhabitants of the above
named countries, but her share of
the premiums was more than 312
times those of the Argentine Repub
lie and Chile"
This of course was written many
years ago. Since then the slaves
have been freed and the population
of Brazil has largely increased, being
about 2O,OO0O00. Her area is con-
siderably larger than continental u
nited States)
AT the Centennial Brazil, as at the
Paris and Vienna expositions, carried
Off the first prizes for the excellence
of her coffees. Prof Agassiz and Sr.
J. C. Rodriguez both recommended
that the Brazihans make an entirely
different system in classifying their
coffee, and that it be known as
Brazilian instead of Mocha" Java.
"Lagerayoa, and Rio" Brazil
then furnished two thirds of the cof-
fee of the world, and the product has
been steadily increasing in quantity.
1t is interesting to note that at
the time the above account was
written, the author of it drew atten-
tion to the great disparity between
the imports to this country from
Brazil, and the exports from this
country to Brazil. The condition has
somewhat but not material
ly In fact, the countries of Latin
America" import Az times as much
goods from other countries as they
import from the United States. It'll
is the desire of President-elect Fon-
cesca to bring about a more equit-
able distribution of trade between
The two countries.
