Find a Way or Make IL

II was a noble Roman
In Rome's imperial day
Who heard coward croaker
Before the castle say:
They're safe In such a fortress.
There is no way TO shake It."

Her path is steep and high
In vain he seeks her temple
Who Is content TO gaze and sigh.

But he alone can take II
Who says, with Roman firmness.
"I'll find q way or make It'll"

There is no royal road.

The Montreal Star in recent issue
added to its own lurid output in opposi-
ton to Reciprocity mischievous etfu-
sion from Rudyard Kipling that may
arouse suspicion and resentment be-
tween peoples who have been good
friends, and as advice in a question OF
extraordinary Importance such political
buncombe is as bad as anything of
the kind that ever was published. Is it
legitimate journalism to substitute a
gross misrepresentation for sound criti-
clsm of formal aud courteous PROPOSE
ton that the United States and Canada
should alter several tariff schedules and
by so doing bring to pass more eco
nomical use Of the resources of the two
peoples?. Mr.. Kipling shows bad taste,
and bad judgment, and disregard Of
np.to-date scientific methods of agricul-
ture, when he says that the American
people by their haste and waste have so
dissipated their own resources that even
before middle age they are driven to
seek virgin fields for cheaper food and
living Is there not something to show
for the rapid development of the natu-
raj resources in the sturdy loyal genera
tons of needy Immigrants who found
opportunity and contentment in this,
one of the leading nations of the world ?
How then can such use Of resources be
called wasteful? The American people
are not driven to seek virgin fields for
cheaper living since scientists in Ger
many and elsewhere have shown what
can be done with old land, and that
more economically than would be the
cultivation of many sections of the
Northwest of Canada. And what sense
is there in the suggestion of Mr.. Kip
ling that reciprocity in trade could lead
to reciprocity in the murder rate prevail
ing for the time being in this "the most
Heterogeneous and least easily controlled
population on the face of the earth.
Canada ought to be independent politi-
cally and she could the better work out
her own problems by maintaining eco
nomical trade relations with this nation
Whether such trade relation shall be
tried or not is the question before the
two peoples which should be judged Of
according to the terms of the actual
formal proposition.
There is not, nor has there been any
action in the administration of Presi.
dent Taft that warrants the assumption
that he is so ignorant of the science OF
craftsmanship as to even seriously con.
slider the very remote possibility of such
a wide application of the annexation
idea by Uncle Sam as is entertained by
some enthusiastic speakers and writers
who wish to see the several political en-;
titles in the New World resolved into a
vast empire under the stars and stripe 8
What sort of actual representation would
there be if the membership of our House
of Representatives was increased by
even the hundred members that would
come from the northern part of the con
tinent in the event of the annexation Of
Canada. The President has said that
the idea of annexation was "all bosh"
and there is no reason to believe that il
was not a sincere expression of maturec
opinion.

He Talked To School Children

Tom Richardson, the Lewist on
booster club" man, visited the
public school while in the city
last Friday and entertained the
students for some time with
booster talks and other topics.
The pupils of the four rooms
were assembled in one and they
were delighted with a short talk
9iyen by Mr., Richardson. He
suggested briefly the part they
could take in helping develop the
country and make home life more
attractive, and then told stories
in his iuimitable style-stories
that at times convulsed the child
rem in laughter and at other
times brought tears to their eyes.

S|M0NS' BUILD
BRICK BLOCK
Present Shop Now Being
Moved and New Block will
be Put Up Yet This Fall on
That Corner.

The brick building craze seems
to have struck Cottonwood this
tall and we hope to see it con.
tlnue over into next year without
interruption. AS the walls of
the Hoene block go up others
seem to grasp the idea that Cot
tonwood can stand better build
lngs than have been erected here
IN the past and from present in
dlcations several brick blocks
may be built here within the next
year. Fred Simon is the first
one to follow the path of progress
and decided the first of the week
to move his meat market to the
old location east of the Matthie-
sen building and will erect a nice
brick block in its place.
The new building will be COM
pleted this fall if the weather
will permit and will cover the
entire lot on the corner of Main
and King streets. 1t will be a
one story structure with a high
ceiling and a very high front
and will look almost as high as
the Goldstone block on the oppo-
site corner when completed. The
front will be of plate glass and
nicely finished off, making the
building one of the incest in
town. M. S. Hendrickson loaded
the present building Tuesday and
is moving it this week and work
on the foundation of the new
structure will be begun Monday.
The erection of a nice brick block
on this corner will add materially
to the appearance of our city and
Mr.. Simon is to be commended
for his enterprise. We hope that
others will see their way clear to
follow in his wake.

Winter Barley for Idaho Farmers.

The value of winter wheat TO
the farmer has been demonstrate
ed to a certainty in Idaho. It is
superior to spring sown grains Of
all kinds, since it fits into the
farmers plan of summer culture,
and its period of growth comes
during those months when rain
fall is generally most likely to
occur.
Winter barley, in Idaho, has
passed the experimental stage
and has been so successfully
grown in so many localities that
there can be but little difficulty
in getting seed.
The writer finds that the price
for good winter barley runs from
25 to 35 cents per hundred above
wheat, and it will usually yield
more bushels per acre than
wheat.
Over in Nez Perce county Mr..
Joseph Davies, who farms a Sec
tion of Indian land, had a 26O-
acre field of winter barley that
was cut ahead of his forty-fold
wheat and demonstrated that It
is safe and paying crop.
Good winter barley seeded on
well prepared summer titled
seed-bed will yield better returns
than any other grain crop and
the writer urges Idaho farmers
to seed more acres than ever
next fall. 1t is one of the best
grains that can be fed to hogs,
is desired in larger quantities by
the malster, and where acclimat-
ed seed is used, is as drouth re-
sistant as any grain crop our
farmers can grow.
Therefore, grow winter barley,
feed it to hogs, driving them, in
stead of hauling the grain to
market.
Our State Experiment Station
has proven Idaho barley produces
cheaper and better pork than is
produced in the corn belt with
corn. Train loads of porkers
from more eastern states cross
Idaho to supply Pacific states, as
well as our own demands. We
can grow better pork than is
being shipped in. Shall we do
it?

Kills Deer With Rock.

Leland Mooers. while fishing
at the upper falls on Whiskey
creek the first of this week, had
quite an interesting adventure
and one that could have resulted
in the young man losing his life.
While crawling through the
heavy brush on the banks of the
creek he encountered a large ten
pronged buck deer, who was
busy fighting flies and did not
concede that Mr.. Mooers had any
right trespassing on his ground
and Immediately made fight.
The young man picked up a rock,
throwing it and hitting the deer
between the eyes, stunning the
animal which fell to the ground.
Thinking he had mortally wound
ed it, he attempted with a dull
pocket knife to cut the animals
throat. About this time the
deer recovered from the effects
of the blow and commenced
striking at Mooers with both feet
and horns. Fastening his horns
in the clothing of the gentleman,
they both fell into the creek
where first one and then the
other was underneath. When
the deer fell he broke one of his
hind legs which very much i'm
peded him in the fight he was
making and after a long struggle
the young man succeeded with a
rock in crushing the skull of the
infuriated animal from which it
soon died.
During this time the deer had
succeeded in tearing all tn e
clothes off Mr.. Mooers and raked
the skin off his body in various
places. but did not succeed in
hurting him seriously. The ami
NAL weighed when dressed 200
pounds and did not seem to be
afraid of the man when he came
up to where he was standing. =

khardson Says This Region
|Wul Accommodate Twenty
Times the Present Popula-
lion.

ptland publicity man who has
M secured to conduct a similar
nuaign at Lewiston, was ir
norwood last Friday evening
a spoke to a very attentive au-
epce at the Odd Fellow hall.
mile the crowd was not as large
It should have been, those
usent were thoroughly i'm
sysed with the great benefits
bbe derived from a development
anpaign such as Mr.. Richard
pn outlined and it is safe to say
hat Cottonwood will be in the
esgue with the rest of the cent
Al Idaho towns when the move-
nent is once organized.
Mr.. Richardson urged that in
III publicity work in behalf of
acouraging the development of
ibis region, no exaggerated state
nents should be made. In all
Eterature sent out, in all letters
Ertten relative to the resources
d the country, only the plain
truth should be told-the infor-
nation given should be definite
and accurate. The people, he
aid, who might be seeking new
homes in the west have become
scustomed to the exaggerated
yOry and can distinguish the
genuine. The exaggerated state
nent is now received with dis
| gust.
Mr.. Richardson's address was
IN behalf of the movement for
the organization of the Idaho
Washington Development league.
He told the people that while
Cottonwood was in the heart of a
big and rich agricultural district,
yet the town and section were
little known throughout the great
areas in the east from whence
The western immigration comes.
Od-tlmers of the coast cities,
perhaps, knew of t h e great
wealth OF this country, but even
lhe new generations there were
lgnorant along that line. He
argued that this section would
remain comparatively unknown
lor a long period unless organi-
latlon was effected to make it
Known. He believed united ef-
tort by the citizens in this work
would bring wonderful results.
Il the resources of this country
we're known throughout the east,
ne said, there would not be so
many people going to cold Cana
Ia or hot Texas.
The speaker urged encourage
Aent OF diversified farming to-
ward the end that smaller farm
loldlngs would result. He ar
'ued against the one-crop coun-
fy, saying that ultimately such
country would be barren, DESC
a1e and uninviting. The coun-
rvs products should be such that
my markets would be
waiting, thus guarding against
isaster in event of low prices in
ny single crop line.
Mr.. Richardson spoke most
aarnestly ! against the patronizing
mail order houses. He argued
nat the patron of the mail order
ouse must lose in the long run
-that the tendency was to buy
lore than prudent economy
'ould dictate; to buy things not
eeded because they appeared
leap' He said perhaps a few
'liars might be saved on some
F'tlcle, while the direct loss

'llure to build up strong local

'mmunities ran into immeasura-

A result of cooperative effo,

ne argued, would inevitably b
IN constantly enlarging activitie
along all lines s. manufacturin,
industries would come, small per
maps at first, but assured o
steady growth. He argued sun
port OF local factories of what
ever character, and said that
tnree-men factory properly en-
couraged would soon become ,
twenty-men plant. The bi-pro
ducts OF cereal mills and flou,
mills would afford means for fat
tening livestock and thus directl,
benefit the farmer.
Mr.. Richardson referred to thu
fact that Cottonwood citizens
had joined in the movement fo,
the building of an electric roaG
several years ago, thus forcing
the steam roads to give this rich
prairie region transportation.
This showed the result of initia.
tive on the part of the people.
He said that the convention
called at Lewiston to organize
the development league would
attract many strong men in pub
licity work identified with the
railroads, and that Portland busi-
ness men looked upon the step
with such favor that a special
train would be run out of Port
land to accommodate citizens of
the Oregon metropolis who will
be in attendance.
Referring to Lewiston and
that immediate section, he ex-
pressed the view that within five
years Lewiston Orchards, located
near the city, would have per-
haps as much population as the
city. He made this statement as
emphasizing his view that an in
telligent campaign of honest
publicity work would attract
many, many til usa n d s
of people into this region and
that every community would
benefit vastly.
Urging that the farmers of
this section enter more largely
into the dairying business, Mr..
Richardson said that the dairy
output of Tilamook county, Ore
gon, a county without transpor-
tation facilities, reached 81, ,0OO,-
600 year. The dairying output
of western Oregon in seven years
moved up from $5,0OO,OOO to
SIT, 900, 900, and Mr.. Richardson
expressed the view that in seven
wears more it would reach $780,
600, 900. He accredited such re-
suits to intense community IN
terest in solving community prob
lens.
Outlining in some detail the
plan of operation of the league
which is duplicate of the Ore
gon plan, Mr.. Richardson en-
phasized the fact that money Sc
cured here to carry on the COM
munity work would be devoted
TO this field--to be spent by local
men in presenting the advantages
offered by Cottonwood and d VI
cinitv. He said that by all the
communities cooperating such
force would be given the move
mont that when railroads were
approached on the subject, 1t
would be assured satisfactory
excursion rates into this territory
for homeseekers would be Sc
o or,red and as we'll would this
country be advertised by the
railroads. If this country does
not advertise its resources home
aeekers-the great bulk OF them
'e @would continue to go elsewhere
