POTLATCH FARMERS
DEVELOPING HOMES

POTLACH, Idaho, April 10.-(Spe-
cial to the Daily Star-Mirror) At no
time in the history of Latah county
was there so much activity that means
prosperity for the county, as is now
going on around Potlatch. The Pot
latch Lumber company has practically
sold out every acre of its cut-over
laLds in this locality, and hundreds of
acres are now being cleared and put
in cultivation. In this section the land
is very rich, and when cleared makes
splendid farms.
in order to meet the needs for more
pond room at the big mills the Pot
latch Lumber company will soon start
dredging, using the dirt to fill up the
sloughs and low places between the
mill and the town. The dirt and muck
will be forced through a pipe from
the river to the place of deposit by
compressed air. The capacity of the
pond will be doubled.
Potlatch baseball team has been
formerally organized and the boys have
had several good workouts. The in

TAFT; SLAPS TEDDY

Senator Root bitterly denounced the
recall. He said: 1.-THE principle that
makes America a seething mass is the
failure to impose limitations on mob
rule. To threaten to recall Judge
makes coward of him. 1t is nor hu-
man nature for judges to make decis-
ions which they know will mean the

Comptroller Prendergast of New
York City, bitterly denounced the
platform. Because men prone to diff
fer with you in regard to the initiative,

are anarchists or socialist agitatols $.
You can't stop socialism until you

The convention adopted the platform
without change and then adjourned.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April 10.-Chas.
E. Hughes, justice of the United States
supreme court, looms up today as a
dark horse candidate for the republic
an presidential nomination. If La
Toilette, Roosevelt or Taft is not nom
mated on the early ballots, the poll
ticians believe Hughes will be the man.
The stand pat element is greatly
shocked at the result of the Illinois
primaries.
A eulogy for Taft and a slap at
Roosevelt were included in the plat
form. The initiative, referendum and
recall were bitterly denounced. The
denunciation of the reform measures
was intended as a slap at Roosevelt.
The convention urged the adoption of
the Aldrich bank plan.
The plank referring eulogistically to
President Taft was heartily cheered.
