Idaho Floelkmaster l at Portland Convention Tells

| Portland, Jan. 6-'.The subject as

Payne-Aldrich billy from the wool
growers point OF view," said Peter
G. Johnston Of Blackfoot, Idaho, at
the convention of the woolgrowers to-
day. II realize that this is very in
tricate, and one with which very few
men are familiar.
In the humble judgment of your
fellow woolgrower the sheep industry
and the western country in general
would have been millions Of dollars
better off il the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law had been destroyed by the presi-
dents veto. We were getting along
pretty well before it's enactment and it
is needless TO say we have had NIGH
ty hard time ever since. We needed
the protection that we had enjoyed in
the past.
The increased cost of production
is such that we are entitled to it.
venture the assertion that during the
past ten years the cost of production
has increased fully IL cents per pound.
We do not have enough protection. -
The speaker said business organi-
zatfon OF perhaps corporation was

the zWoolgrowers and that they also
should have had q speed minimum law

well as lower. freight rates on wool

We have, as other great interests

The west has suffered most Sc
verely in consequence OF the losses
sustained by citizens engaged in this
very important industry Take, for
example, my own Idaho. I do
not think that it is an exaggeration
to claim depreciation and loss of
dollar. per head on the three and
half million sheep owned in the state
of Idaho, What mean by that is the
loss sustained in the price Of wool, in
the price of mutton and depreciation in
value Of stock on hand. That loss
means $40 per capita for every man,
woman and child in Idaho. It is a
reasonable estimate TO say that the
American woolgrower has lost $685.

@2=.a There are many factors working
against the county division schemes,
They will find opposition primarily by

they will tend to give the balance Of
power in the senate to counties that
boast of comparatively small popula-
tions. For instance, if the three
schemes for dividing Chouteau county
were carried out, territory that is
now represented by one member in
the senate and boasting of a popula-
tion of little more than Is, 900 would
have representation of three in the

The state legislature at Helena has
been getting down to real work dur

resentative Donohue Of Dawson has
already broken into the game by the
introduction of two house bills, one
for the segregation of Wibaux county
and one containing the provisions Of a

will doubtless be bitterly contested by
grocers, bakers, druggists and others.

EAGER FOR SURVEY

The homesteaders in the northern
part of the state are anxious that the
government begin it's geological sur
vey of the section in which they are
holding homesteads. They cannot
get title to any but surface Of their
lands until after survey is completed,
and the question of the existence of
coal in such quantities as to make
mining profitable is settled, When
the survey is completed, those whose
claims do not lie over workable coal
beds will get clear title to their tracts
and those who apparently hold lands
which are underiaid by coal in suff-
clent quantity TO make working it
profitable will know just what they
really do have in the way of rights
from the government. 1t is claimed
by the settlers that large amount
of the land held under suspension
under the order of last fall, will not
show enough coal to be of value for
mining, and these particularly desire
to have the work of the survey push
ed and their titles settled.

OLD LINES MAY HOLD BACK

Pierre correspondent in Sioux City
journal: With the coming of spring
the railroad talk for South Drkota is
again coming to the front as topic
of discussion. Whether there will be
any great amount of real railroad
building for this year has not yet
developed, but very little which can
be called definite information has
shown up SO far as the older roads
of the state are concerned The
Northwestern is showing Indications
of extension of it's line east from
Newell, which is at present the ter
minus of its line from Belle Fourche
out into the government irrigation
district. Over year ago they Fl I'd
with the secretary of state plat of
proposed line out as far as Red Owl,
they include this proposed extension
in their data which they furnished
the railway commission for the latest
railway map put out. The same sys-
tenn may extend it's Dallas line be-
yond Winner this year, up into west
ern Trlpp county, to near the corner
of Bennett county, to which point
they have also filed plats of proposed
future extension work, but it is not
on the cards that they will do any
more this year if they DO that much.
In fact, so far as can be learned, that
company has nothing material on it's
list for South Dakota for another
year at least.
1t is pretty generally believed that
the Minneapolis & st. Louis will
build it's line from Aberdeen to Piarra
this year, along the line of the old
grade on which they have an option.
Whether the Milwaukee line will
do anything west of the river this
year is all in the way of rumor. 1t is
claimed that they have surveying
crew in the northwestern part of the
state, working in Harding county,
and there are other rumors OF line
connecting their terminus at Rapid
City with their northern line across
the state, but there is nothing definite
on these points.

WAR MOVE INEL. .AMES

The action of the administration in
declaring war on the Mexican revolu-
tionists has filled official Washington
with an amazement bordering on in
credulity.
1t is the one topic of discussion. 1t
promises to be the overwhelming sub
ject of interest when the new con-
gress meets.
In preparation for congressional
discussion and action members of
congress, regardless of party, have
been gathering the facts and prepar
ing to present them in the form of
resolutions and speeches. LaFollet.te,
Wilson and Rainey are among those
who object 10 the government s ac-
tion.
TO forestall congressional action,
President Taft is expected to make a
statement as to the movement OF
troops soon.
The admission by the white house
and the state department. that the
army and navy have been sent to
Mexico to put down the Mexican rev.
olution was the only thing needed to
start the congressional activities.
This admission, say members of con-
gress coupled with the military ac-
tiyities now in progress, amount to d
formal declaration of war against
Mexico. The first step that is taken
across the border or the first marine
that is landed on Mexican soil will
constitute invasion.
