BECOMING MONEY
MAKER FOR FARMER

i,
Sheep are money makers on grain
farms. Inland Empire farmers are
awakening to the fact that sheep
pay better than any other animal
on the farm. because they devour
weeds. wild oats and other fowl
growth. And what they gain in
weight and produce in wool and
lambs is ninty per cent profit. A.
Crosby. of Pullman, a sheep raiser
sold a lot of spring lambs to Spo-
kane firm for $3.50 per head. and
spring lambs has brought as high as
$500 per head this season. Prof.
Iddings. of the University Of Idaho.
is experimenting with 254 lambs and
alfalfa. with a grain ration to ascer-
tain how much per ton can be got
from alfalfa when fed to lambs.
This experiment will be published
on bulliten and spread over the state.

ct the Idaho grain commission,
has given out for the publication
some interesting figures of the pro-

Il Is unofficial. but the figures are
ssdiy Substantially correct.
He places the production of grain for
the entire state at $4,000, 900 bush
els. Of which amount approximately
100000 bushels were produced
10 the south and southeastern parts
Of the state and the balance Of
1,000,0 900 bushels in the seven
northern counties. The estimate of
yield of the six northern counties is:
Nez Perce- Wheat, $50, 600 bush
els; oats. 24O. 900 bushels; barley,
500. 900 bushels.
Latah- Wheat, 1.750. 900 bushels

mining. numbering fruit growing and
stock raising, places the Gem State
on the pedestal Of renown and ad-

no pessimists here.

The above figures. according to
Sundays Boise Capital News, repre-
sent the results obtained by the Off
cial canvass in % Of the u counties
in the state am from the other five
counties. The complete official can
vass will not materially change these
figures.
The complete returns show some
strange results. There are 90. 500
votes cast for Wilson. Taft and
Roosevelt. and 81, ,774 cast for Haw-
ley, Haines and Martin. showing
that many persons voted for govern
or who did not vote for president.
This is just the reverse of the usual
showing. f.
The socialists vote has been report
from only II of the ~ counties.
Coblantz, their candidate for gov
.ernor, received 7423 votes in the IL
counties. which include the counties
in which the vote Of that party was.
probably the heaviest. II isnow be-
lieved that the socialists will poll
the necessary 10 per cent Of the vote
to make Of it q legal primary"
party in the state. It viii have to
receive q little above 10000 To- do
this. Two years ago the candidate
of that party for governor received
5342 votes in the entire state,
Of the total vote cast for Wilson,
Taft and Roosevelt, Wilson received
36 6 per ceut. Taft 35.5 per cent
and Roosevelt n. Z per cent.
On ngovernor. Hawley'received 362
per cent of the vote for the three
high men. Haines 37.3 per cent and

RECREATION AND ART
Two interesting Subjects Considered
at the FortnlghtIy Saturday.

Miss Bertha Freeman OF New
York, representing the Playground
and Recreation Association OF Ameri-
ca. gave a short talk on the recrea-
ton movement at The Fortnightly
Saturday afternoon. She spoke OF
the interest taken in the subject in
Bennington. the success which has
so far met the efforts of those In
terested and the chance for further
development along the same line,
Miss Freeman. who is visiting Ben
nington under the auspices OF the
Recreation Committee OF the Board
of Trade, is looking over the stu
alton here as regards a public park
and the possibilities for recreation
during the winter as well as the
summer months.
She gave resume of what has
been done by the Recreation assocl'
alton In the larger cities and gave
statistics to show the growing inter
est taken in the movement in all
communities OF any size, where some
plan OF organized recreation has
been adopted under municipal super
vision.
Miss Freeman was followed by
Miss Sophronia Collins, whose talk
ON "The sistlne Chapel" was inter
esting and delightful rs Miss Collins
talks always are. The subject OF
the slstlne chapel at Rome in one
full OF interest and the story OF the
marvellous achievement OF Michael
Angelo, in giving to the world SC
much that Is beautiful In art in his
frescoes In this world famed chapel
contains much OF human interest
aside from it's Significance from the
standpoint of art. Miss Collins, by
her broad study and appreciation o.
the subject, was able to give mel
hearers graphic and realistic des
scrlptlons of many OF the most note'
of the frescoes aud was aided in thi'
by the pictures illustrating the sub
iect being thrown on q screen o!

switchman, but the regular man was
on leave of absence and his substi

reached the crossing. Davidson
waited for a freight train TO pass and
then drove directly in front of the
approaching express.
The horses managed to clear the
track, but the engine struck. the
wagon squarely on the side. David
son and one of the women, who were
seated on the front seat, were tossed
to the side Of the track, but the fouI
other women we're thrown directly
under the wheels of the train and
when their bodies were recovered
they we're so badly mutilated that II
was necessary to identify them by
their clothing.

was found so feet from the tracks.

URGES NATION TO
BUY TELEGRAPH
SYSTEMS
Postmaster General Hitchcock
FavOrs the Plan.
TO ASK CONGRESS TO ACT
Make Them Part of Postal Depart.
ment, Greatly Reduce Rates and
Still Be Highly Profitable

Washington, Jan. 15.-Aquisition
of the telegraph lines of the United
States by the government in their
operation as part of the postal ser
vice will be recommended to Con
gress in short time by Postmaster
General Hitchcock. For a year or
more, Mr.. Hitchcock has had this
recommendation under consideration
After thorough study of the opera.
ton of government-controlled lines
and postal-telegraph systems in for.
eign countries he has decided to
urge the matter upon Congress.
Should this recommendation be
adopted" said Mr.. Hitchcock last
night in statement of his intention
| am convinced 1t would result in i'm
portant economies and in very mater
tally lower telegraph rates than are
now exacted In approximately so
countries of the world-notably in
Great Britain, France, Germany, Aus.
tria, Italy, Spain, Russia and Japan
goyernment-controlle telegraphs are
now in successful and profitable OPP
Grafton. In many OF the countries
they are operated in connection with
the postal service. These telegraphs
serve an aggregate population of $50,
100000 and in every instance they
have been found TO be of immense
practical benefit TO the people, in
both promptitude and cost of the
service.
In this country, postofiices are
maintained in numerous places not
reached by the telegraph systems
and the proposed consolidation, there
fore. would AFFORD favorable oppor-
tunity for the wide extension Of tele-
graphic facilities. In many small
towns where the telegraph compan.
les have officers the telegraph and
mail business could be handled read
lily by the same employees. It is evi.
dent that the separate maintenance
of the two services under the present
conditions results in needless ex-
pense.
The first telegraph in the United
States was operated from 1874 TO
1S47 by the government under au-
thority from Congress and from
many view points it is desirable that
government control should be re
sumed A method for the acquisition
of telegraph lines is prescribed in
section 5267 of the revised statute
which provides that, for postal, mill
tary or other purposes the govern
ment may buy telegraph lines, oper-
ated in the United States at an ap-
praised value.
my own view is that every reason
for transmission OF mail under gov.
eminent control can be urged with
equal force for the transmission OF
communication by telegraph.

NoRTHFIELD VT, COOLEST
Vermont Weather Station Had
Record 26 Below

The national capital shivered yes
the mercury at the weather bureau

city had for several days felt the
sting OF the frigidity which has
swept the entire Atlantic seaboard,
but the lowest temperature was not
reached until o'clock yesterday
morning. The cold, however, has
moderated. The thermometer regis
tered II above at s o'clock and Wash
ngton, in common with the rest OF
the country. will indulge in spell Of
milder weather.
Mortified, VT, with a registration
OF 26 below zero, was officially the
coolest place in the country yester-
day. Temperatures nearly as low
were recorded at many inland New
England points. The north Atlantic
states suffered less, the minimum at
Boston being below. A like tenn
perature was recorded at New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. On the
south Atlantic coast 2S above was
the reading at Jacksonville. Fla,
while on the North Carolina coast IL
was 10 above and below at Lynch
burg, Va. The states in the Miss
ssippi valley suffered less, the min.
imum at Chicago being IL above.
In southern California and Arizona
temperatures are very high for the
season, and "a number OF places
equaled and exceeded the highest
readings ever before recorded In Jan
uary. At Los Angeles the tempera
ture yesterday was S6 degrees.
Relief from the intense cold which
has prevailed in all sections Of the
country the past few days is promis
cd the coming week. THE general
