FARMERS NATIONAL CONGRESS
Places Itself On Record AS Opposed
To Canadian Reciprocity.

The Farmers National Congress COM
posed of more than six thousand dele
gates representing all of the important
farming states, places itself on record
as opposed TO reciprocity with Canada.
Speaking for the congress John NJ.
Stahl, its legislative agent said: There
can be no doubt that the Canadian trade
agreement would seriously injure
millions of our farmers. The prices of
grains and farm animals are much less
than a year ago. This reduction means
not that the profit of the farmer has
been reduced by so much, but that
nearly all or quite all has already been
wiped out. And while wheat on the
Illinois and Kansas farm is one fourth
lower than year ago the same loaf of
bread is sold for five cents in Chicago.
The price of hogs on the Illinois or
Iowa farm has been during the last
thirty days only sixty per cent of what
it was during the same pes'od of 1910,
yet the price of meats to the consumer
is nearly as high now as then.

WHO'S WHO, ANY WAY?

Some agitation is in evidence at
the present time over the various
county offices. After the democrats
have expended much energy and time
in the S lection of persons to- fill
the various offices occasiCned by the
contemplted designations of officers
in this county it is learned today that
many of the officers will not resign
owing to the fact that there is some
gu StiOn as to whether they would
be considered citizens of the new
county of Bonneville, and in the
even tot their not beig considered
citizens of that district, they would
resign h re only to be out Of jobs
all the way round. 1t is understood
that c. S. Beebe, who was a candi-
dale before the primaries, for the
nomination of prosecuting attorn y
in this county on the republican tick
e. and who was defeated by the peo-
pies vote in the capital city, &C.
companied by Judge J. M. Stevens,
and their mission there is to cure
the appointment of Mr.. Beete to- the
position of pros cutting attorney. All
the county officers and all who would
like to be officers left this morning
for Boise to talk to the governor.
