ported this harvest should call to
mind the 5000 bushel barley
crop threshed nine or ten years
ago by Isaac Zehner at Denver
from an even 100 acres of land
just hundred bushels to the
acre from the entire tract.
When this is called to mind (and
its absolute correctness cannot
be questioned) it will be easy to
see how even greater yields are
possible this year from smaller
pieces of choice land. In fact, it
is always better to make a thor
ough investigation before doubt
ing, as il is possible for Camas
Prairie soil to produce crops that
will astound the oldest settler of
this unty.-Chronicle.

The Spokesman Review cor
respondent from Boise, James A.
Ford, in dealing with the subject
of the recent sale of the $4,000
acres of state lands to the Pot
latch Timber company, strongly
intimates that Gov. Hawley
played politics. in the attitude
he assumed toward the land sale,
inasmuch as he refused to make
any vigorous opposition to the
sale of the land in the board
meetings or at any other time,
and still meekly and mildly vot-
ed emo" when it came to the fin
al show down. Ford quotes one
prominent man as saying: "The
governor had to vote mo" be-
cause his party had used this
land sale from a negative point
of view in the last campaign,
but that the governor knew the
proper course for the board to
take in the interest of all concern
ed was to sell the lands" Ford
then says: "No democrat has
ventured so far as to explain why
the governor did not actually and
vigorously fight against the dis
posal of the land. But to the
casual onlooker Governor Haw-
ley's position appears as nothing
less than plain straddle. His
vote of mo makes a record the
party can point to. At the same
time he has by his lack of opposi-
ton placed himself on good terms
with the Potlatch Lumber com
pany, and representatives of the
company were lauding the COVER
nor the day he had that mo- re-
corded, and w. ID. Humiston, of
the lumber company, who negot-
lated the deal, pronounces the
governor "a great big, broad
minded man. -

Cash valuation, under existing
conditions, was considered i'm

ing down the toboggan slide to

to think that equalizing from %

an undertaking than the law ex-

Senator Borah returned to

Senator Borah returned to the
west from Washington via north
ern Idaho and Spokane. He
spoke at a miners picnic at Kel-
logg Saturday night and stopped
over at Occur d'Alene where Mrs
Borah's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. j. Mcconnell, of Moscow, are
having an outing with number
of other friends during the heat
ed period. He passed through
Spokane on his way to Boise and
said a good word for Senator
Miles Poindexter while in the
Falls city, landing him for his
ability and consistent course as
a progressive, remarking:
have only warm words of praise
for Senator Poindexter, and the
citizens of Washington can rest
assured that they are most ably
represented in the senate. On
the matter of the recall of judges
it will be remembered, Senators
Borah and Poindexter were
arrayed against each other, but
that makes no difference with Nh
Borah in his estimate of the man.
After inspecting irrigation pro
iects in south Idaho with Secre-
tary Fisher on his return from
Alaska, Mr.. Borah promises that
he will take a swing through the
north end of the state on business
and pleasure combined. 1t might
be well to mention that the latch
string hangs out at this place anC
that Grangeyille hospitality is on
tap for the senator if he will fav-
or us with friendly visit.

WOULD SUPPORT AILsHIE.

Judge Ailshie's name in con
nection with the republican
nomination for governor seems
to be causing not a little uneasi-
ness in democratic circles. 1t
is the general opinion among
democrats that his position on
the supreme bench disqualifies
him. Perhaps it does, but up
to the present time we have not
read anything that proves to
us that he is not eligible. But
it is not his eligibility that is
troubling his political oppo-
nents just now. The fact of
the matter is, Judge Ailshie is
the strong man" in the repub-
lican party in Idaho. AS can
didate for governor he would
come nearer bridging over fac
tional breaches than any other
man in the party, and in these
days of political plotting and
browbeating, the man who can
cement factions and bring about
a certain degree of harmony in
his party is the man to tie to.
And we honestly believe Judge
Ailshie can do these things.
For our part we do not know
whether or not he is, or ever
was, a candidate for guberna-
torial honors. However, should
he became a candidate he will
have an ardent supporter in
this paper. He is an Idaho
county man and stands high
with his home people. He is
known throughout the state as
a man of marked ability and
lofty ideals. Young in years
he has the vigor and all that
is necessary to round off a
long and useful coreer in public
life, and we have every reason
to believe that Judge Ailshie
will be further honored by the
citizenship of Idaho.--Kooski,
Mountaineer.

COUNTRY PAPER 8 VALUE.

IOftldnu Telegram: mere Is
very lively agitation going on
in the state press over the ques-
ton of the deluge of free matter
that they are being constantly
asked to print and much of which
they are actually printing. There
is no business extant from which
SO much gratis work is expected
as from the newspapers. Whilst
this is true of all newspapers, it
bears with greatest force upon
the smaller newspapers which
lack the variety of resources the
big communities afford. they
are expected to advocate every
thing that is for public interest
which is reasonable and within
due bounds, but many things that
are sugarcoated under the guise
of public interests too often con-
ceal private interests that sole
ly are benefited by deadhead-
ing and are oftentimes really in
imical to the public welfare.
There is no class which gives
up so much to the public interest
as these small newspapers, and
there is no class whose work gets
so little recognition and usually
such little compensation. Every
enterprise in the community ex-
poets recognition-it expects to
have constantly poured forth to
it every aid, while on the other
hand it rarely expects to recipro-
cate, and when it does, and that
with very bad grace, it does
so little that it might be called
infinitesimal.
There is no investment that the
small community can make which
is equal to the well-conducted,
self-respecting and self-sustain-
ing news paper. 1t is the mouth
piece of the community so far as
the outside world is concerned,
and by it the community is most
often judged. As a matter of
fact, it is a good reflex of com
munity. For this reason it de-
serves to be sustained as com
munity investment. The whole
community should not be united
as it now usually is in dead
heading its ways and its schemes
public, private, good, bad and in
different into the newspaper. 1t
should realize that the small
newspaper has some rights which
should be respected and it has
some needs which must be suppl
ed.
Every community should get
the point of view of the newspap'
err so that it gets fair deal with
the rest of the enterprises. WheI
il does this it will find better
newspapers, better service, better
all around improved conditions

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL. 2.-Accord-
ing to a statement made by Edward
Wegmann, the distinguished civil en-
gfnesr, the disaster at Austin, Pa,
caused by the breaking Of the Bay
less dam, could have been averted at
a cost Of $4,000. Failure on the
part Of the owners to provide this
amount caused fearful catastrophe
in which the lives of over $50 men
and women and children were, sac
rificed and all the earthly possess
sions Of hundreds more were swept
away by the death dealing flood. The
following statement from Mr.. Veg
mann appeared in the Washington
Herald:
"Mr. Hatton wrote me Jan. 20,
1910, asking me to give him some en-
gineering advice on reinforcement
of the DAM" said Mr.. wegmann to-
day. II agreed to do so and Mr.. Hat
ton called upon me shortly thereaft-
er at my office in this city Mr.. Hat
ton submitted to me the plans ac-
cording to which he had constructed
the dam at Austin. Pa, and stated
that the dam had commenced to
move, and was in a dangerous con-.
dition.
''Mr. Hatton said the base Of the
dam had already slid 1s inches, and
that the top of the dam was 81 inches
away from its original position.
''The calculation which made
with reference to the stability Of the
dam showed that the profile adopted
for the construction Of the dam would
|shaYe been sufficiently strong pro4ided
the dam had been built on pres
yious rock foundation. AS matter
Of fact the dam was built on very
perilouso foundation Of sandstone
which was mora or less fissured.
found that taking into account the
upward pressure Of the water under
the base of the dam, the structure
was in a very dangerous condition,
and I advised Mr.. Hatton to build an
additional amount of masonry on the
down stream side of the dam and to
construct a cut off wall of masonry
or puddle at the upstream: face-this
cut off to reach down to an emper-
vious stratum. I also suggested that
the dam might be held by building
cut off wall and adopting d rock
filling on the down stream face as q
reinforcement. sat-, : ss 8 s5
