GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

Much interest is being aroused
among both mining men and agri-
culturists by the rumors of the early
organization of State Geological
survey in Idaho.
1t would be the duty of this sur
vey to make maps showing the dis
tribution of the soils, mineral pro-
ducts and artesian waters of the
state, and to answer questions con-
cerning them. Deep well driving
is an uncertain undertaking in many
parts of the state at the present
time, for there is no data ON the
depth of the water bearing rock,
and this varies from place to place.
A careful study of the geology of the
state would make it possible to pre-
diet the depth at which artesian
water is likely to he found. Al
though Idaho shows great evidences
of mineral wealth, and is rightly
considered one of the important
mining states, it has comparatively
few producing mines. This is
largely because no adequate attempt
has been made to bring its mineral
resources. before the public. A pub
lication that bore the name of a
State Geological Survey and that
described scientifically the mineral
> possibilities of the state would at
e tract outside capital and bring re-
e newed life to the mining industry.
n And live mining industry means
! new railroads and a consequent
opening of now inaccessible terri
tory.

our own country there is a group of
wooden Indians, into whose care is
committed that greatest function of
all-electing a president. They are
as obsolete a piece of antique furni-
ture as the coronation herald" in
a day Of telegraphs and newspapers.
The Fathers decided that the
choice of president was not to be
made at the rough house Of elections,
but in the secluded councils of the
wise men selected with great care
for this one act. Which school
room conception Of popular govern
ment was quickly put into the po-
litical dump by robust people,
who felt competent to do their own
electing. Ever since the solemn
farce has been put on the boards for
the benefit Of traditional sentiment.
SO on November illegally speaking,
the American people did not elect a
president, nor even vote for one.
Thus the electoral college has be-
come a vermiform appendix, and
like any useless organ, has possibili-
ties of danger. What might hap
pen was suggested in 1856, when a
snow storm prevented the Wisconsin
electors from casting their votes on
the day named by the constitution
Also controversies have arisen tins
fall as to which party faction II
case OF split should have the rlgh
to name electors. The electoral col
lege is not merely useless furniture
but a possible fire hazard in a polit
ical powder magazine.
Election of president by popu
lar vote, the simplest method eve
proposed, will perhaps never b
adopted, as it would take from tn
small states some power given uhue
the electoral system. To the eXpe
dient of election by congressiona
districts, it is objected that this Ell
courages the carving up OF district

There is something sad after all
IN the downfall of President TAFT.
Tie was forced ON the people 10y
Prcsidcn; Roosevelt and then sent
into the outer darkness 10y tine
same hand. The failure of Taft to
understand the human animal IN
ITS struggle for existence is, IN our
opinion the greatest cause ol MS
defeat. Never having been called
upon to earn a dollar or 60 know
what it meant to hustle for one, he
was greatly handicapped in dealing
with the masses. Always an aristo-
crat with plenty to keep the VOL
from the door, he failed to grasl
the conditions that confront Th"s'
who earn their bread in the sweat
ol their faces. In the future oul
great men, and great leaders, mus
pay more attention to the laborer
ol the land, rs n great majority %
them have become students OF TIM
economic conditions of America
and cannot be appealed to ON tn
ground of party loyalty a fail
ure on the part of the incomin
administration to properly adlus
itself TO the conditions that eNls
will end in as big a defeat as tina
which swept Taft and his cohor'
into oblivion. Filler Journal.

RAY PAYROLL
 THREATENED
Daring Attempt to Steal S235, 900 by HOld-Up
 of Train Is
 Prevented
PLOT IS OVERHEARD

PHOENIX. Jan. 1.-Two desper- ate characters planned to hold up the Arizona Eastern train which went to Ray yesterday. with S235.0O0 to meet the monthly payroll of the Ray Con- so-idated Copper Company, on board. That the stupendous robbery was not attempted probably is due to the fact that their plans were known
 Meager details Of the story reached Phoenix today. It is understood that someone sitting in the lobby of a ho- tel at Ray, late Monday evening. over heard two men whom he did not know plot to hold up the train between Ray Junction, formerly Kelvin and Ray. The eayesdropTer hurried away To inform the authorities of what he had learned and while he was gone the plotters escaped
 News that the hold-up was planned was telegraphed 10 Phoenix but was not received here uatil after the tram had left. Instructions were telegraphed to Florence to have the train take on extra guards at that place Every pre- caustion was taken to guard the treas ure. Armed men. determined to kill or capture anyone who attempted 10 take
 
 chests in which the currency was kept.
 No attempt was made to stop the train, though on the run between Ray Junction and Ray the engineer ex- pecred to have a gun pointed at his head any minute and to receive all order to stop the train. He was ready to obey without hesitation. trusting to the guards t5 save the money and capture the robbers.
 It is reported that a posse, sent out ivy the sheriff of Pinal county. is pur- suing the men who planned the hold Up in the hills near Ray The Demo Crat teiephoned to the sherlhs office, at Florence. but was told that no Ge- tails had been learned atthat place. The story Of the posse being in pur- suit was denied.
 There is a general belief that the two men whose conversation was over heard at Ray were not the only ones Implicated in the plot A larger gana would have been needed to get away with S235, 900, all in currency of small denominations
 A similar amount is sent to Ray once month to meet the Ray Con sOii1aJed payroll Pay day falls on the tenth of the month.
 Train Tobberies were committed in Arizona in the early days, but in no single instance on record did the robbers get away with as much as Sz55, ,000.
