A woman who for twelve years has
conducted a boarding house In Chi
cago, and who takes pride in telling
that "boarders usually stay until they
get married and then send some one
to fill the place made vacant by mat
rimony," anticipated possible COM
plants because of smaller portions
of meat by placing neatly written
notice in the dining room which stat
ed that the price of beef, mutton and
veal had advanced to figures which
had not prevailed since the Civil war,
and that everything is high in pro-
portion There has never been any

He was just about exasperated with
the telephone, was Mr.. Busiman.
Ten times that morning he hat
tried to get on to a number, and each
time something had prevented him
from speaking. Either 1t was mum.
Der engaged" or the person he want
ed to speak to was out, or else he
had been suddenly cut off. At last
he got through.
"Hallo!" said he. "Is Mr.. X. there?"
YES" replied voice. do you

That was the last straw. Back
came the reply In icy tones:
"Oh, no! Nothing of the sort. |

Canada Has Sufficient
Coal for 5000 Years
1t Has Enough Agricultural Land for the Set
thing of Millions.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 73h
billion tons; of anthracite 461 mil
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
of coal now annually mined in Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
of IA billion tons, 1t would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. II
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 1855 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but it will be
a good many years before the quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output Of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,000,000 tons. At that rate 1t
would take only las years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply Of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end Of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up Of about four hundred thousand per-
sons year land 1t looks now as if this
number would be reached, this year,,
one hundred and seventy-five thousand

| light weight mares and about one
third or one-quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight Mares"
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking, upon the ques-
tion being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding of
horses, What kind of mares should
l use? l want to know all things con-
sidered, whether i should buy 1900
pound, a 1,400 pound or LOO pound
mare?" In other words, the land
owner as business man wanted to
know What would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative eff.
cheney on the farm and what the rela.
tive market value of the colts pro-
drced, of these three classes of mares.
Here is how he thinks out the mat.
ter and his thinking was based on ex-
tended observation and experience:
All three classes can, of course, be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen.
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency, if we rate the LOO pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow
ance is made if the 1,450 pound horse
is credited at 80 per cent, and the
1900 pound horse at so per cent. The
colts bred to a good draft sire will
average somewhere about 1900
pounds; colts from 1,450 pound mares
1000 to LOO pounds, and colts from
LOO pound mares, 1900 to 1000
pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
and one-half or five years of age. The
same is true of the medium weight
colts, but buyers are securing the
country for heavy colts. Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier,
or if carried until they are, older and
then put on the market, the prices ad.
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1900 pounds will not bring
more than $40 to SITS on the average,
because they come in competition
with the great glut of common
light drafters on the market. Those
weighing around 1850 pounds to LOO
pounds will bring 5000 to $240, ard
heavy weight geldings will bring $500
to $3.50. The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

the opening up of this rich field Of ag-
riculture, and it is high class of ag-
riculture, carried on by the use of
brains, and, where energy has not
been endowed, it has become in that
splendid air case of inoculated en-
ergy.
The rapid advancement of railways,
makes the situation easy. Today one
may be located thirty miles from one
OF the many branches of the different
systems. A year from now, the whis-
tie Of the locomotive and the long
train Of cars may pass the farm, the
elevator Is but a short drive from the,
home, splendid market is established.
and all the advantages Of an old set
tied community are at hand.
The prospects this year from an ag-
ricultural standpoint are exceedingly
bright, and, relieved Of untoward con-
ditions, the farmer Is already counting
his bank roll, planning for more ex-
tensive operations for next year, and
figuring on paying out for his farm
He is calculating what the increased
value Of his holdings, as a result Of a.
successful crop, will add to his assets
Already some fields of wheat have been.
harvested, barley has been cut, and
the yield Is above his expectation. In
fact, the feeling at the time of writing
is that never in the history of any
country on the continent has there
been such prospect of large aver
age crop, all over the three central
provinces of Canada, as will be harvest

ed this year. The railroads are add
ing to their already large mileage and
have got ready for handling the crop
thousands Of box cars The govern
ment agents and the railways are max
ing arrangements for from fifty to six
ty thousand extra farm hands in order
that the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual, real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush Of business that Is sure to
follow, and everywhere there Is the
note of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly justifiable.
There Is, as has been said, vast
area of the country still open for set
Element and demonstrating lying in the
center north. Speaking Of this part
writer, who made the trip when the
crop was in its green stage, said:
Just now, the whole country Is a
beautiful sight, as 1t presents itself in
full dress Of living green, varied in
shade, many places elegantly fringed
shrubbery and patches Of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav.
cling over the virgin soil, have seen
some Of the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep ravinesy
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid of man. The land in general
Is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions OF
acres of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
I.tivation reminds one of a few small
garden patches.
when we consider the estimated
crop of 30O,0O0,00O bushels of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage OF glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is excess
sive, but with even $50 million bushels,
there will be great deal of satisfac-
ton on the part of the settlers.

A NEWSPAPERS WORK.

1t doesn't require lot of brains OF
special ability on the part of news
paper to boost Latah county. The most
effective publicity is the kind that calls
attention to the special advantages OF
particular locality. For illustra-
ton, a man need not be smart,
though he edit small paper, to give
the facts about crop yields. Here in
Latah county, where every farmer
produces crops worth while; where we
have so many men who, starting with
nothing, have, by their industry and
energy, made comfortable fortunes, it
is only the editor too lazy and too in
different to try, who can find nothing
to say.
Of no section of our county has a
newspaper an opportunity to say SO
much as at Troy. Here we have, a
thousand examples of the man who has
transformed our rich pine land, once
a dense forest, into fertile farms, here
is the practical proof which, given
publicity, cannot fail to attract the
attention of honest men, willing to
work, hungry for an opportunity to
get home There are, throughout the
crowded east, hundreds Of thousands
of desirable people who would be glad |
to learn of Latah county. And Troy |
of all places in the county, needs more |
people 1t has good cheap land and
unless it's stump land is developed and
settled up, Troy as town, has no hope.
It's lumber industry is a thing OF the
past, it is no longer the wood market
that it was; it must now depend on
agricultural development. 1t must pro-
luce fruit and live stock and poultry,
along with increased acreage in grain.
f not this then Troy has no future.
No community on earth has more !

better field for usefulness for it's To- +

WE'RE FROM MISSOURI.

Leon Qa) Journal: what a grea
change would be brought about in pc
litical conditions in our nation
such men as Harrison, Mckinley, Ton
Reed, Allison and Mark Hanna wer
alive and in their prime. A large as
sortment of pin-headed politicians
would be relegated to the rear, and thu
voice of the tariff revisionist would nj
longer be heard in the land. The coun
try would move right about, bust
ness conditions would no longer bt
unsettled, and the government would
give our people an era of prosperity
and contentment."
Yes, We do need men of ability, but
tell us who, if not Mark Hanna and
the political leaders of his type, and
during his time, are responsible for
conditions today that are confronting
the American people.
Whence come the American sugar
trust, that stole it's millions and rob-
bed the people? Who gave us the steel
trust, that, enjoying special favors at
the hands of our political leaders, like
Mark Hanna, developed into a giant
whose power has blighted and crush
ed: Who gave us the beef trust and
made possible it's development with
all it's evil results? Who gave the
four gigantic express companies their
monopoly? Who, by law, legalized
plumber and pillage, and used the
slush funds of trusts to corrupt pol
itics, debauch our courts undermine
the very foundations of government?
Who stole the peoples wealth? Who
the law and trampled competi-
tion under foot? Organized greed,
tariff protected trusts, the creatures of
1 political system represented by men
ike Hanna. These men prostituted the
of Lincoln They rep
'esented greed and gold, and during |
heir time the true emblem of repub- |
icanism would have been a dollar |
ign.
An outraged people has never failed |
o sooner or later arouse itself and as
ert it's rights, and today, all over the
and, there is determination in the
carts of men to put an end to spe-
ial privileges. Our courts must be
rec; our laws enforced even against
ne rich and poor. Every citizen must
ave square deal at any cost. The
nited States senate must once more
the people instead of spe-
al interests. Our government must
Their become government of and for
nd by the people or perish from the
nth.

ONLY 80 CENTS EACH

s out and sent each month, direct t
the probation officer They do ava,
: with delays which occurred by tn
: use of the older report forms, and in
) sure more promptness in attending tt
the delinquencies reported.
For the two and one-half months
ending December 81, 1911, expenses to
the extent of $255.71 were incurred in
connection with probation work This
does not mean that the county would
have avoided this expenditure had
there been no probation officer; for
most, if not all of this sum, would have
been expended through the sheriff's
office in that event. The greater por-
ton of this sum, $185, was expended in
| taking two deliquent, who had been
committed to the industrial school, at
st. Anthony, and in connection with
their cases. The remainder, $7O.71,
represents the cost of acting in the
other cases reported to the probation
officer.
During this same period 81 visits
were made to investigate cases de-
handing personal attention. Most of
these cases were those where the de-
linquents reported mad not entered
school at all as required by law. In
to the parents or guardian was suf
fcient to insure compliance with the |
laws. In but few cases was it ne |
cessary to give a second or third warn |
ing. The blame for large majority of |
the cases of non-attendance and de-
linquency was found to rest with the
parents, and not with the children re-
ported.
For the same length of time, 33 no
tees were sent out to the parents or
guardians of delinquents reported.
with these notices has been
very good.
During this time mentioned, two de-
inquents were taken to the Idaho In
lustrial school at St. Anthony. Two
more have been put on probation,
lending good behavior.
A total of 81 cases were acted upon
through this office. Exclusive of the
wo children taken to the industrial
chool, the other IS cases cost the
ounty an average of less than SO
