.BORAh SQUAR[LY
FOR ROOSEVELT
ldaho's Progressive Senator
Hits Taft Boom.
TELEGRAM FORM WILLIAM f.
BORAH CLEARS AWAY DOUBT
Will Probably Be Attacked by the Ad.
ministratiOn Machinery for his
Ren0minatiOn.

Senator w. e. Borah is at last out
OF the woods as to his position on the
presidential campaign, and his posi-
ton is stated as forcefully as any 9TH
er principle for which he has stood in
the past six years. Borah is for
Roosevelt, and telegram to the Taft
standpat organization of Ada county
unequivocally asks that Ada county
send Roosevelt delegation to the
state convention. The outcome of the
doubt as to his position rather clears
the atmosphere politically in the state
where his position as a progressive is
not fully understood. 1t lines him up
against the Taft machine and means
that politically Mr.. Borah in his fight
for denomination will have to fight
the Republican administrative machin-
cry together with the standpat element
of the state. He is in for the fight
OF his life and no doubt knows it. I'm
der our present system Of electing
United States senators it means that
the state machine politicians will at
tempt to prevent his election by the
state legislature, and that If Mr.. Borah
| is to go back to Washington as the
only representative of the people from
Idaho in the senate that every legis-
lative candidate will have to be
pledged to his support before cleo
tion. Senator Borah does not lack
courage, and his firm stand will win
him admiration from every voter in
the state save a few habitual politi-
clans.
Senator Borah's telegram follows:
Washington, D. c.. March %, 1912.
w. d. McReynolds,
Boise, Idaho
Since the contest had to come, i
think it important that you send a
Roosevelt delegation and all efforts in
that direction have my earnest appro-
val. Personal friends who are sup
porting Mr.. Taft have r.ired me that
my stand against the president will
endanger my personal interests. Per-
haps this is true, but it does not
change the situation and cannot be
permitted to deprive one OF his right
to urge his choice prior to tho nomi-
nation.
l am ior Roosevelt and hope Ada
county Will send Roosevelt delega-
ton to Lewiston.

Twin Falls County Achieves Distinction for
Novel Plan.
Politicians and Plan Every Day Citizens Work on Public HIGH
way Thursday. Twenty.sK Miles Of Good Road Bed.

Politicians are supposed to be good
at fence building and platform erec-
tion and in that line of work are with
out peers, but Twin Falls county is
the first in the state to actually get
tangible results out of the state and
county aspirants for honors. Prob
ably the approaching election is the
main cause of such spontaneous anx-
1ety for hard work on the part Of the
wire pullers yesterday, but whatever
the cause each one did valiant service
both in the use of strong language,
strong arms and still stronger appe-
tites at the MONDAY lunch served by
the wives of the ranchers.
AS the result of the work of several
hundred business men and ranchers
twenty-six miles of highway were
rounded up and put in first-class con-
clifton in one day. From Hansen to
Buhl turnpike of pleasing roundness
was the attempted achievement and
was accomplished with considerable
degree OF perfection.
OF the real rough work such as the
handling of the. coarser farm tools

FIRST PREMIUM AT SHOW.
Hogs Bring Top Price on the Portland
Market.

Al. Page, one of the prominent
stockmen and farmers of the tract
some time ago shipped two cars OF
hogs to the Portland market. Fifty OF
the swine were picked from the lot
and placed on exhibition at the fat
stock show which was being held In
Portland at that time. The fifty were
awarded first premium at the show
and were later sold to one Of the
packing houses, bringing the top
price. This speaks we'll for the Twin
Falls tract. Just short time ago a
bunch OF cattle was shipped from
Rock creek by Rrobert Brose of this
city and they brought fancy price.

BOQAHJ0Nts BILL PASSES.
Measure Gives HOmesteaders Five
Months Leave Each Yaar.

Washington, D. c., Mach 27.-The
Borah-Jones three years homestead
bill by unanimous vote passed the
house of representatives this after
noon in substantially the form in
which 1t was left last Wednesday.
The passage of this measure which
will open q new era in the west and
proveoof incalculable benefit to all
settlers in their efforts to make homes
for themselves and children is due
largely to the great interest President
Taft took in it and his personal appeal
to many eastern senators to give it
their earnest support and also to
Speaker Clark's influence among the
Democratic members of the house.
That the speaker was deeply interest
ed in the success of the bill was
shown by his taking the floor and
making speech favoring it last
Wednesday.
All the essential features of the
original bill are retained and what
differences exist between the senate
and the house will be adjusted, in a
committee, which will consist of Sem
ators Smoot, Jones and Newlands and
Representatives Taylor, Ferris and
Mondell, all favorable to the measure
it may require several days to shape
up the bill in conference, but it's ulti-
mate passage is assured.
The bill, in brief, reduces the home
stead period from five to three years;
gives homesteaders five months leave
of absence each year and six months
in which to establish a residence after
making the original filing. Before the
bill was passed the house voted down
amendments proposed by conserva-
tionfsts, reserving minerals, water
power sites and timber to the govern
ment
Senator Borah is highly elated over
the passage of the bill through the
house and tonight said:
while there has been some changes
In the bill, which compels sending it
to conference. yet l fell reasonably
certain now that at no distant date
we will have three-years' home
stead law. The house did not make
any change in the term of three
years, SO that feature is settled and
not subject to .chance in the confer
ence.
minor details OF the bill are sub
ject to adjustment in the conference,
but do not feel uneasy about get
ting satisfactory measure out OF the
conference. I think the conference
committee is all friendly to the bill.
SUCCESS OF this measure in congress
is In large measure due to the ac-
tive support which was given 1t by the
people, the settlers. Commercial clubs
and newspapers OF the west States
man.

JARBIDG[ NEWS.
Mining Man Says Jarbidge has Some
Good Properties.

Charles E. Heyden, who has been
engaged in the mining business for a
quarter OF century, has recently re-
turned from Jarbidgc, where he has
spent several months making examin-
atfons of properties. He says the camp
has reached the most critical stage in
Its experience and Is going through
the ordeal of all mining camps. The
prospector has come and he in turn
has been followed by the speculator
and wildcatter From now on the min
ing investor will be factor, but he
must be shown something more than
prospect and given an opportunity
to take ground under option and de-
velop it.
The milling business has not been a
success. The two plants that were
installed have closed down. The fail
ures have not been due to the insin-
cerity of the operators, but because
Of their inexperience. Proper test
methods of bringing the values from
the rock were not made before the
mills were constructed though it has
since been proven that the ore is of
commercial grade and that methods
can be employed that will make a
close saving of values.
Owners Of ground placed inflated
values on their properties and did not
hold out proper inducements to the in
vestor. The result of this is that a
number of the owners of property in
that district will be forced to aban-
don their claims unless there Is a de-
cided change for the better during the
year. The resources of number of
these people have already been ex-
hausted and they have left for new
fields. After careful examination
of large part Of the district Mr.. Hey
den says that he feels confident that
1t has merit and that several good
mines will be developed.
The crater section OF that camp
particularly appealed to Mr.. Heyden,
He thinks with developed work car
ried on to proper depth some large de-
posits will be found in that section
and he believes that 1t will be higher
grade ore than anything developed in
the camp to date He has acquired
some of this ground and is engaged in
running a tunnel. During the summer
months the district will probably be
quiet unless some big strike is made
that will result in another rush.-Salt

Report Of Engineers Approved
by Financial Interest.
SURVEYS TO BE STARTED AT AM
EARLY DATE.
Plats and Pr0fiIes in the Hands of the
Secretary Of the Interior for Ap.
proyal.

The Bruneau-TW1n Falls project,
financed a few months ago, Is to be-
come a reality, for information that
has reached Boise, and which Is be-
lievcd to be authentic in detail, Is to
the effect that Kuhn-Leob, the people
who arc now backing and In control of
the big project, have made definite
plans, following the adoption OF the
engineers reports. and the surveys, to
start work early this year. 1t is only
the fear that the placing upon the
market of so large block as six mill
lion acres of land might flood it, that
prevented them from starting work
sooner.
The estimated cost Of the project
is $20;O00,000. The money is now
ready FOR use and unless some unfore-
seen delay prevents operations, the
Bruneau lands will present busy
scene. The main canal carrying water
for irrigation purposes to this tract
will be $50 miles long anL will skirt
the fotthills in westerly direction.
The point OF diversion will be at the
big dam that is to be constructed
across the Snake river near American
Falls and which will back water over
the townsite of that city, and sub
merge lands as fer back as SO miles,
forming a great inland lake in the
course Of the Snake river.
The piats and profiles OF the pro-
ject, together with the engineers re-
ports and the applications of the state
for the segregation, are now I'm the
hands of the secretary Of the interior
for approval The reQueEt for the
segregation was but recently signed

commarolal Politics

Commerce forms numerous class,

tranquility. who attach themselves to
the established government
1t creates great fortunes, which in
republics become the origin of the
most forceful aTistocracies AS a rule
commerce enriches the cities and
their inhabitants, and increases the
laboring and mechanical classes, in
opening more opportunities for the
requirement of riches. To an extent
it fortifies the Democratic element
in giving the people of the cities
greater influence in the government
1t arrives at nearly the same result
by impoverishing the peasant and land
owner, by the many new pleasures Of
fered him and by displaying to him
the ostentation and righteousness Of
luxury and ease. 1t tends to create
bands of mercenaries rather than
those capable of worthy personal serv-
ice. 1t introduces into the nation
luxury, ease and avarice at the same
time as labor.-Barnave.

Astonishing is the ignorance of

knowledge of trees and grass and
flowers was derived from the early
closing city parks, said as she gazed

fabric is much used by trained nurses,
for lightweight uniforms which may be
Numbered to spic and spanness with

Percale is also cooler than linen and Is
much lighter in weight. For beach
dresses for morning wear 1t is a spe-

smart style. A young woman who al
