Government Coinage.

A remarkable thing about the
United States coming system Is that
the government loses money 10 coin
ing gold, but makes big profit on
neunies, says an exchange. In ten
dollar gold piece there is exactly ten
dollars. worth of gold and 10 per
cent of copper, put there to harden
tho nrecious metal. To this must be
added the cost OF minting. A silver
niece is about half prolt. The penny
pays best OF all.
The copper blanks are bought b'
the carload from tirm at waterbury
C.,nn.. which has contract to suppl,
them at the rate of $1,000 per million
THAT means that the government OBJ
..ins for seven and three-tenth'
cents the copper blanks for a dollars
worth OF pennies.
what becomes Of the millions 0
n.nnies coined every year Is a mystery
-. supply the demand. the Phiiadel
= 10 mint must keep turning out new
.,ne. at the rate Of 100000 pc
month.

Judge Steele's Letter.

Speaking OF District Judge Steele
OF Idaho county and the pardon
board, the Press-Timcs OF Wallace
says:
Judge Steele makes strong lndict.
ment against the board OF pardons,
and those who have watched the pro.
'ceeiing OF that body will agree that
be does not Overstate the case. He
states that during the past IL years
every important criminal who has
been sent up from Idaho county has
received favorable action from the
board OF parions, and he gives it as
his opinion that this fixed tendency
OF the board to override the verdicts
Of juries Is responsible for the violent
action OF citizens In dealing with
criminals In manner that cannot be
reversed by those who for a brief time
are clothed with the power to pardon.
The Jury that hears case Is the
best Judge OF the guilt or innocence
Of the accused, and when the jury
tenders verdict of guilty, followed
by sentence from the court, !,
should stand as against any pard0nins
board, which IS often easily moved b,
sympathetic appeals from near rela-
tiyes, to say nothing Of less worthy
influences. The experience OF Idaht
county In having It's criminals
pardonel is duplicated 10 othe
counties of the state and we beliey,
Judge Steele is right In his conclusion
that the Ieniency Of the parioninl
board is largely responsible for th
mob.

May Build Big Ship.

II congress, next session. will but
turn an attentive ear TO the officers
Of the navy department., II will pro-
vide funds for the construction Of the
biggest battleship afoat, ship OF
from 35, 900 TO 10000 tons displace-
ment, and Costing 10 the neighb0r-
hood Of SIS, 900, 900. Such ship has
been tentatively designed by the
officers OF the navy, with the View TO
giving the American navy the biggest
fighting machine 10 the world, This
may not sound 80 big 10 the layman,
but when It Is remembered that the
battleship Utah. on'y recently COM
mlssloned, and the equal Of any war
ship 10 the world, has a displacement
Of q .S25 tons, and cost 10 the neigh.
borhood Of $4,000, 900, some idea can
be gained Of the purpose which the
navy department has In view.

A Relic of Clark.

M. D. Yeaman, pioneer OF the
Swan valley country; SO miles east
of Idaho Falls and near the head
waters of the south fork of the
Snake river, has brought to Idaho
Falls stone bearing the inscrip-
ton, "Clark 1906" The stone
was found recently by SON of Mr..
Yeaman, who was plowing on his
fathers farm on the south bank OF
the river. The stone had become
covered with several inches ol
river wash and is much weather
beaten. The lettering is quite
distinct, though much worn. The
point Of the pillow cut deep cash
in the stone, but did not injure the
lettering.
1t is the opinion Of Idaho his.
torians that the stone was LEFT
where it was found by Clark Of the
Lewis and Clark expedition on his
exploring tour made across tha
section of Idaho in the year 1905
The stone is of great age and ths
lettering being also very old bear'
out this theory.

SWING ROUND THE CIRCLE
President Taft On Important
Political Tour.
VISIT NsURcENT STATES
Speeches on the Tariff and the
Tariff Board.

President Taft left Beverly Sept.
IS on his second swing around tie
circle. In the opinion Of many Of
his friends, the trip promises to
be one of the most important ever
undertaken by chief executive.
He, himself, has said he will in
dulge in but little political discus
sion, but it is admitted that oppor-
tunity for such discussion probably
will be brought upon him. That
he will accept the gage Of battle If
some checker" in his audience
throws it on the platform is hardly
doubted.
That the presidents political
fortunes depend on this journey is
agreed by many close to the ad-
ministration.
Two years ago the president
started from Beverly on his first
continental trip after entering the
White House. He had been six
months in Office and the Payne
Aldrich tariff law had been FIVE
weeks on the statute books. On
that trip he delivered his famous
address at Winona, Mimi, in de-
fense of that law on which most Of
the criticism of the administration
tariff policy has been based.
On the list for the present
journey the president has set down
sthe tariff" and "the tariff board"
as two subjects for his addresses.
/, His vetoes of the wool bill, OF the
cotton bill and of the farmers free
list bill have not been set aside for
separate speeches, but that they
will be dealt with in the two gener-
al addresses is highly probable.
| The "swing" will be about 49,
900 miles in length. Twenty-four
states will be visited, and in 18 the
president will speak. In Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Mon
/
tana, Idaho, California, Oregon,
Washington, South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin he will
spend many of his busiest days,
These states are labeled Gin
surgent" by those who keep the
political books.

"Daniel Boone on The Trail"

Nothing has created the excite
ment in long time as will the ar
rival Of Daniel Boone on the Trail
with it's tribe of Sioux Indians, Gag
es of Siberian wolves and trailing
dogs.
Manager Robt. H. Harris has
spared no expense in framing this
big production. The story of the
play follows closely the history OF
Daniel Boone when he invaded Ken
lucky, then wilderness infested
with Indians and wild beasts.
When Boone's cabin is burned it
is done by real indians, who give
their bloodthirsty yells and war
dance in the refectio Of the flames
When Boone had to figth for his
life with wolves, it is the real
beasts that have been trained to at
tact him. This is one Of the most
daring scenes ever attempted on any
stage.
Not single detail has been over
looked. A noted scenic artist spent
several weeks at Boone's old home
in Kentucky in order to reproduce
the exact atmosphere.
A strong cast has been selected
and those who witness the perform
ance of this play will see a real live
exciting melo-drama, as true to life
as it is possible to produce.
