FOSTERS FORECAST

Washington, Dec. 16-My last bull
etin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent Dec. II to 81, warm
wave 16 to 20, cool wave 10 to 23 This
disturbance will be a continuation of
the warm spell and will be followed
by cold wave with five or six days
of cold weather. More than usual
snow will accompany this storm in
northern states and more than, usual
rain in the south, except not much
rain in Texas and New England
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about Dec. %, cross Pacific
slope by close of "a, great central val
leys 25 to 27, eastern sections 28
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about December 26, great central
valleys %, eastern sections 80.
The feature of this disturbance
will be a return to warmer than
usual weather, accompanied by more
than usual SHOWS north and rain
south The rains and SHOWS the last
half of December promise good for
winter wheat and the prospects are
that this more than important ceral
will begin its spring growth early in
April in better than usual condition.
Present indications, particularly up
to the first of May, should inspire all
with hope for a prosperous year in
1912. 1 will not discuss crop pros
poets beyond May 1, but up to that
time L can see, nothing but splendid
prospects and encouragement for the
farmer and planter and to all who
are to be benefited by the success OF
those two most important elements
of our commonwealth.

I'VE have had five bad years in the

easily cut thirtg or more bushels off

IRRIGATED LAND"

1 have several pieces of choice
irrigated land in southwestern Idaho
where failure is unknown. This land
lays within mil es of modern town
which has good railroad facilities.
This will produce in alfalfa 5 to
tons per acre; wheat from 40 to so
bushels; oats from so to 80 acres; po-
tatoes from 400 to 500 bushels per
acre and all other crop In accordance,
1t is also fine fruit country as the
winters are mild and summers ideal.
/ am looking for 2or 3 good men with
families, if possible, who want to
make home and money for them
selves In case man had some land
in this country, we might be able to
make trade so that he could own
part of this land and rent or lease
the rest on long terms. This is a
good proposition for the right man.

which followed the two teams and
the Oliver band to the ball ground
last Sunday who would have even
dared to predict a chance for q
touchdown for the Ely contingent,
and yet they made two in the first
quarter of play, registered two per.
feet goal kicks and held the Mon
roe team scoreless throughout the
struggle.
The visitors executed the for
ward pass without serious inter
ference from their heavier oppon-
ents and seemed to be able to make
substantial gains whenever they
pleased. Several times during the
last quarter the Monroe team show
ed flashes of brilliancy but the
plucky Ely boys had no difficulty
in defending the goal line.
The crowd was one of the largest
that ever witnessed football game
in Chisholm and the day was ideal

anguish. And there are springalds

WHAT OTHERS SAY

In a neighboring city few days
since we witnessed a funeral pro-
cession in commemmoration of the
departure of some prominent citizen
among his fellow countrymen,
doubtless, as band preceded the
hearse and many mourners and
friends followed in carriages to the
last resting place of the departed.
But we were struck by the ap-
pearance of loaded ice wagon at
the close of the procession, moving
in rhymthic time to the strains of
the music, and could but wonder if
the friends of the departed were
making provisions for the possible
future needs of the morned one.
It would seem that any man who
knew enough even to drive an ice
wagon would have sufficient insight
into the eternal fitness of things to
swing out of funeral procession
at the first corner, at least, but
evidently one driver did not for we
watched him follow for two blocks
down the main thoroughfare and
turn with the mourners at the
corner toward the cemetery

It is an imposition of the state
on the settler who comes to the
northern part of Minnesota to
acquire home that it holds him up
with speculative values on its school
and swamp lands. If they would
give such lands to actual settlers at
the expiration of five yeas it would
be ahead: The increase in taxable
values would more, than Offset the
original price of the land. In adj
dition this northern Minnesota
would be dotted with homes
instead of wild lands owned by a
speculative state and absentee
speculator. Bear River Journal.

THE KU KLUX KHAN
John Kirkby, jr., president of
the National association of Man
ufacturers, yesterday relieved his
feelings by comparing trades
unionism to the Ku Klux Klan.
He pointed to the dynamiting
of the Los Angeles Times as
proof of that comparison.
Of course, because of the spleen
and prejudice without which Mr..
Kirkby seems incapable of talk
ing, his utterances are not really
of great Importance.
But one in a while, they're in
teresting- as is this one when fol-
lowed to its logical conclusion.
What was the Ku Klux Khan?
1t was a midnight organiza-
ton formed by a few of the'more
desperate and more unjustly
treated men of the South after
the close of the Civil War.
1t was formed at time when
the lowest politicians of the
North-long since repudiated by
the North-were in control of
the South.
These politicians, known as
carpetbaggers, were selfseekers
of the basest sort, and they held
not only the reins of government,
but absolute sway over the
courts.
They cared not for justice they
cared not for the reconstruction
of the South. They cared for one

homes desecrated and themselves
deprived of every right of free
born men, that a few of the more
desperate spirits of the South or
ganized themselves into the Ku
Klux Khan.
Does Mr.. Kirkby, having made
the comparison, admit the con-
illusions?
Does he admit that the business
interests he represents so faith
fully have so oppressed the work
ers of the nation that it has been
necessary for the more desperate.
of the workers to form Ku Klux
Klan for the avenging of their
wrongs by dark and midnight
methods?
Does he admit that the inter-
ests he serves have the govern
ment of the nation in their hands
and are using it for their own sell
fish ends?
Does he admit that Bushes"
so controls the courts that JUS
tice is denied the workers in
them?
Does he admit that the rights
of the workers are being tram
pied upon, and the homes of the
workers outraged, as were the
rights and the home of the peo-
pie of the South in that dark pc
Rod in American history imme-
diately following the Civil War?
If Mr.. Kirkby does admit
these things, then it is high time
the people of the United States
arose in their wrath and kicked
