ABDICATION Of THRONE.
Chinese Republic Now An Assured
Fact.

Pekin, Feb 12-An imperial edict
proclaiming the abdication of the
throne by the Manchus was issued at
noon today. Another edict declared
the throne accepts the republic while
third approves of all the conditions
agreed to by Premier Yuan Shi Kai
and the republicans,
The third edict created great aston
ishment. 1t was expected the Manchus
would demand conditions to safeguard
many of their privileges, but accord
ing to the proclamation the surrender
is unconditional. 1t informed the
viceroys and provincial governors of
the retirement Of the throne from poll
tical power and instructed them to
continue doing their duty and to pre-
serve order throughout the land. 1t is
declared the step taken by the throne
was in order to meet the wishes of the
people.
The abdication of the throne by Pu
vi, the child emperor, brings to an
end the powerful Manchu dynasty
which has reigned in China since 1914
The boy ruler was on the throne since
Nov. IA, 1908, when Emperor Kwang
Su, his uncle, died. His father, Prince
Chun. was appointed regent and was
the chief figure in China for three
years-Capital News.

ADVERTISING FOR BIDS
To Carry Mail From Contact to
ROgersOn.

The government is advertising TOT
bids to carry the mail from Contact TO
Rogerson, distance OF 81 miles, the
trips to be made three times a week.
The people in Contact are very anx-
ions to have the mail go over THIS
route and have taken the matter up
with the Twin Falls Commercial clup,
asking them to make an effort to Sc
cure bids. They advanced as an argu-
ment in favor of this line, that all ex-
press will be bought of Twin FAILS
merchants instead OF Ogden as hereto-
fore and as they anticipate big rusn
in Contact within the next year, they
believe it will rebound to the advan-
tage Of Twin Falls to secure the mali
service. The distance from Rogerson
to Montello Nevada, where the mail IS
now carried is 1O1 miles-almost three
times as far as the distance from
Rogerson to Contact Anyone wishing
to make a bid on this service should
see the secretary of the Commercial
club at once as all bids must be In
Washington by March L.

A GOOD PROPOSITION.
Eastern Seed House Offers to Furnish
Garden Peas for Planting.

A proposition of interest to every
resident OF the Twin Falls tract and
farmers especially was presented to
the Twin Falls Commercial club this
week by R. M. Moore, representing the
ID. M. Ferry & Co. seed house of De-
troit, Mich. Mr., Moore's proposition in
brief is to make contracts with the
farmers to raise garden peas, the en-
tire crop to be purchased by d. M
Ferry d Co. at three cents a pound
and will wait for it's pay until the crop
is sold in the fall. The farmer will be
at no no cash outlay whatever, his
only expense being the work of plant
ing and harvesting the crop. 1t isn't
even necessary to cultivate them.
The average crop of garden peas,
according to Mr.. Moore. is from 25 to
90 bushels, and the high record in
Montana last year was 5S bushels 8
pecks. The average crop on the Twin
Falls tract should be so to so bushels,
as all farm products have invariably
produced larger yields here than else
where. 1t is possible that some of
the potato experts may make a pea
record Of 100 bushels to the acre.
There are so pounds of peas in a
bushels-this is probably low aver
age for the Twin Falls tract-will
bring S72. Deducting S540 for seed
the net returns to the farmer will be
$66.60
Peas are an easy crop to raise and
are beneficial to the soil. An addition
al profit may be had by turning the
hogs into the field after harvest as the
waste peas and vines are excellent
feed.
Peas were grown extensively last
year at Livingston and Bozeman
Mont, and at st. Anthony, Idaho, and
the farmers are so well pleased that
they are putting out much larger
acreage this year
Mr.. Moore is now visiting the farm
ers on the tract with the intention of
signing up for five hundred acres.
