Dry Farming Congress of 1912
Idaho Visitors Headed by Governor Hawey Trying to
Land Big Event For Boise

from dry farms, and (3) the presence
of the governor to extend the invita-
tion in person.
''Ths exhibits we have planned for
the dry farming congress, which con-
venes at Colorado Springs, Colorado, on
October 16 and continues until the
evening of she 2lst, is in excess, both
in quantity and quality, to our most
sanguine hopes.
Governor Hawley informed me to-
day that he would be present at Colo
rado Springs during the convention
and would personally extend the in
vitation to the delegates to meet in
Boise in 1872 With these assurances
it only remaines for the delegates,
some 80 in number, and all interested
persons who can possibly afford it,
to take advantage of the excursion
rates and be present for roll call on
the opening day of the congress.
I'VE expect to prove by our exhibits
at the coming congress that Idaho
surpasses all states in the union for
the production of dry farming prod
ucts. That is strong statement, but
dubious ones should remember that
we have in Idaho individual dry farm
wheat ranches yielding $1,000 bushels
of grain each year. that we have dry
farm wheat that tests Cd pounds to the
bushel as it is taken from the machine,
and that our yields of dry farm oats,
barley, rye, potatoes corn, and all
kinds of vegetables are practically un-
beatable.
Mr.. Rich is of the opinion that the
Icaho delegation to the dry farming
congress will probably visit the Omaha
land show during the week following
the congress at Colorado Springs. =

Short Line Officials Will Take
Hand
The final completion of railroad is
the driving of the Golden Spike, this
usually being formality and the oc-
casion of celebration by the people
who are joined with the outside world
by railroad for the first time. The
coming of railroad to Camas Prairie
means new era on our valley, and the
completion of the line should be an oc-
casion long to be remembered
The officials of the Oregon Short
Line have agreed to furnish the Golden
Spike, and delegation of the road
officials will be on hand on the day set
for the celebration, and they have
asked The Camas Prairie Courier to
pick out the lady who is to have the
honor of completing the road by driving
the Golden Spike-and incidentally the
spike will become her own property as
a souvenir of the occasion.
The plan for choosing the most pop
ular lady on Camas Prairie has not yet
been definitely decided on, but possibly
in the next issue of The Courier the de-
tails will be definitely announced, and
we wish to say right now that it must
be the popular decision that gives the
favored young lady the distinction of
changing the history of Camas Prairie

1.-The International Dry Farming
Congress at Boise in 1872"
This is to be the slogan of the Idaho
delegates and the Idaho visitors,
headed by Governor Hawley and I'm
migration Commissioner Rich, in the
campaign to bring next years session
of the dry farming congress to this
city.
And according to Mr.. Rich indica-
tions at present point to complete
success for the Idahoans in their
quest.
During the several years that the
dry farming congress has been hold
ing annual international meetings"
said he, '.Idaho has always taken
forward position in exploiting this
department of agriculture and never
yet has meeting been held in the
state.
'Just what this means to Boise and
Idaho is probably not realized by the
average citizen. 1t means the estab-
lishmeut of publicity bureau here to
exploit next years meeting with a
secretary treasurer and corps of as
sistants regularly employed all year.
This official would draw salary of
$4,000 for the IL months work. 1t
would mean that advertising docu-
ments and literature would be sent
from Boise not only to all parts of the
United States but throughout the
world.
There are three things essential to
assure the 1912 session in Boise and
they are: () A strong delegation of
Idaho people. not only regularly ap
pointed delegates, but all wha are in
terested and believe in this method of
farming; (2) a comprehensive and
typical exhibit Of Idaho products

THE COFFEE TRUST
REP. NORRIS OF NE1RAsKA WILL
MAKE A SPEECH.
1t May Bring On a Tariff Wa Between
The United States and
Brazil.

Washington, D. G. - A worldwide
coffee trust is to receive the attention
of congress, as we'll as of the depart
ment of justice. 1t is charged that
the coffee trust is primarily the Bra
lillian government, but the department
OF justice will have the opportunity, to
apply the antitrust law to the Amer
leans who are affiliated With the trust.
The names of multi-millionaires long
powerful in the coffee trade are being
given attention. 1t has developed
some remarkable facts about the i'm
mense increases in coffee prices by the
combination.
1t appears that a standard, widely
used grade of coffee. which in Decem-
Der, 1908, sold wholesale in New York
at 6k cents a round, has risen stead
lily and regularly till on Jan. Z, 1911,
1T was quoted at 1914 cents. An in
crease of over 100 per cen is declared
to have no justification whatever, and
no explanation say that the Brazilian
trust has the power to force American
consumers to pay the price.
Representative Norris of Nebraska,
who offered the original resolution to
investigate the alleged trust, will make
a sensational speech, as soon as he
can get the floor in the new session.
Democratic tariff authorities are look
ing to find what sort of tariff condi-
ton can be applied to Brazil to induce
better treatment. A tariff war with
Brazil would be annoying to the United
States: it would be a calamity to Bra
zil.
Representative Norris will introduce
early a bill to provide that the maxi
mum rates may be imposed in case a
foreign government is party to a COM
or conspiracy to establish mo-
nopoly and extort unnatural prices
from American consumers. This
would do the business in the case of
Brazil.

nothing until the higher court decided
upon the case.
