Things Look Good for
New Year.
SKI CLUB HOLDS MEETING
Several Buildings Will Be
Erected This Spring.
Dixie, Idaho, Jan. ID.

Dixie, Idaho, Jan. la.
The ski club is planning on an
entertainment in the near future.
An excellent program is being
arranged and we certainly have
ever assurance to believe that
treat is in store for the many
that is sure to greet them, in
this, their maiden effort.
Jack Hays pulled into camp a
few days back with four horses
and big load of grub.
Postmaster Duncan is slowly
recovering from. a mild attack of
the grippe.
The watch meeting which was
held under the auspices of the
ski club, to welcome what is
surely to prove the most pros
perious year in the history of
the camp, report an enjoyable
time. Light refreshments were
served.
Judge Hazlett expects to leave
for outside points in another
week. He will probably be in
Grangeville during the larger
part of the coming term of the
district court, as he has several
cases in this court calendar that
require his attention. From
there, we learn, he expects to
visit several cities of the coast
on business matters in regards
to certain mining properties in
which he is connected with in
this camp.
What is known in camp as the
Mitas townsite, and which is
owned by a few of Dixie's most
substantial and progressive citi
zens, will this coming spring anC
summer, no doubt take on a lease
of new life, for a well founded
report is to the effect that mo-
only will the large hotel anC
general merchandise store b.
made ready for occupancy, bu
: several other buildings will b.
! added to the little berg. Th'
fact that the Central Idah,
Water Power & Mining Co.
which has lately taken over tn,
Ross mining properties, adjoin
Mitas town has caused no small
amount of activity in that neigh
borhood.
Rory Burke brought into CAM
: last week, some mighty mic
specimens of free-milling or
: from his Taft claim. This prop
erty lies between the Ajax an
the l.. & L., and up until tw
years ago this ground was va
e cant. At about that time MI

the principal reason, perhaps
why Rory is talking so strong]

concerned, not one cent of public
funds shall be appropriated by
my vote for the maintenance of
institutions for the training of
the youth of the state in such
communities where they may be
taught to hold nothing but con-
tempt for the law instead of be-
ing taught to hold it sacred,
where they will be surrounded
by an atmosphere of law defiance
instead of being surrounded by
an atmosphere of respect of the
law.
"Pocatello, I believe, is not so
bad as Lewiston, where there
appears to be an open revolt
against the laws of the state and
where it is taken as a matter of
pride that the law cannot be en-
forced. In Lewiston it is open
and notorious. We have just
witnessed the spectacle of a
town marshal being removed by
the mayor because he did not
enforce the laws, and Immediate
ly reinstated by the city council
for the same reason, having been
kicked out and reinstated four
times within three days.
"It is not because it happens
to be local option laws that are
not enforced, not because these
towns happen to be located in
dry territory that we will op-
pose any appropriation to edu-
cational institutions. Whether
laws are good or bad; whether
they meet with the approval o1
officials or citizens or not, matter;
not; so long as they are laws
they should be enforced; at leas
their violation should not bt
openly, scandalously and notori
ously fragrant such that all peo
pie are bound to take notice O.
the condition and to recogniz,
the sentiment of the community
More especially should education
institutions not be maintained il

The views expressed by thi

by at least one other member o

legislature.

For Cyanide Poisoning.

AS an antidote for cyanide
poisoning, it has been recon-
mended that the patient drink
ferrous sulphate, followed by
sodium bicarbonate. A purga-
tive should then be taken, and
the patient should walk about to
prevent sleeping. Cyanide of
potassium in fresh cuts is apt to
cause painful sores.

Horse Power of Water Fall

Horse Power of Water Fall.
To compute horse power of a
water fall, take the cross section
in square feet of the water flow
ing over dam, and multiply this
by the velocity of flow in feet
per minute and the head of fall
in feet. Multiply this product
by the constant 62.4 and divide
by the constant 5000.

Governor Osborn called the bluff
OF the Michigan railroads. in a manner
that every lover of justice in the state
mns1 admire, at the.hearing before the
tax commission. sitting at board OF
review last week The railroads claim
and we believe with great deal of
justice that the ratio OF the taxes they
pay to that of other property in the
state is out Of proportion and that. un-
less they are given relief by lowering
OF their tax rate, they will commence
litigation that will tie mp the primary
school money and jeopardize the taxa
tion laws OF the state. Mr. Osborn
dared them TO make their bluff good
and they Immediately ran to cover and
said that they never intended such
procedure
As we have said. we believe that the
railroads are assessed nearer n true
cash value than much other property
OF the state. We would like to see
them get relief but We want them TO
get il as good citizens. We want them
TO come forward and insist that other
property is brought up 10 its proper
level and not seek to promote dishones-
ty by asking favors for themselves
because others are doing wrong.
The railroad have pursued this policy
of coTiusion and evasion so long and so
stronghly that they have brought the
prejudice of the people upon themselves
and all other forms OF corporate pro-
perty in the state. They have but
themelves to blame for their present
position.
And. now instead Cf turning 20 be a
good citizen aud assisting in the work
of making others good they seek to
prolong this policy OF "the devil take
the hindtnost" by putting up a bogy
threat TO scare the people of the state.
We are glad that we have governor
with backbone in the executive chair.

well 90 long as he is voting to let In
stuff that come into competition with
the produce OF the other fellow, but let
a move be made 10 let in something
that interferes with his crop. and then
see the pyrotechnic That's the diff
Guilty now being had with this Cana
dian American idea OF President Taft
He says he can bring down the cost
OF living in big chunks If that is
what the people want, but now that
they have the opportunity for this
remedy they hesitate. II is all right
TO let iron ore In free in the eye Of
and eggs Then there's roar like
that OF the wounded lion in the oat
patch. Hit the iron. but spare the hen.
It's great game, this tariff tinker
ing. The Democrats all wanted IL be-
fore election, but now they are not
quite so sure about it. They are fay-
orsble TO the admissions, duty lowered,
or duty free. OF things that do not
come into competition with their con
stituencies, but their crops are so var
led that they cannot get any comfort
from any article excepting iron. and

to that as the South is making iron.
