WEAK IN GRAIN;
MARKET 1ULL|SH
Fine Crop Prospects Boost Prices on
International Harvester
Stock.
HEAR OF THE STEEL REPORT
By BARRON SERVICE.

New York. July 1s.-The market con-
tinued strong at the opening and well
into the afternoon to-day, although the
volume OF sales after the first half hour
was very small. The weakness Of the
grain market and the continuation Of
good conditions for an excellent crop
harvest were the principal bullish fea-
lures.
The bear arguments on the effects Of
the iooked-for Stanley report on the
United States Steel Corporation were
not needed. and the publication of the
report that the committee. while disa-
greeting as to the course of action. advo-
Gated a suit to dissolve the steel combi-
nation had little effect on the stock.
Erie issues showed strength, based on
news of excellent earnings, the volume
of traffic on the road at present being
the largest on record for IL. While the
Stanley report was used as bear ar
gument on steel, It was onset by the
news of the increase in steel employees
wages by the Jones & Laughlin Com
pany, indicating the optimism. in the
trade National Biscuit was weak on
large selling movement for this stock,
said to be due to the closing up of an
estate.
Harvester stock Advances.
The weakness of the grain market had
the greatest effect on International Har-
vester stock. which advanced upon the as
sumption that a big harvest will mean
an increase in the already large volume
of orders for agricultural machinery for
the company. Missouri Pacific was strong
upon the assumption that there will be
a modification in the Wabash reorganiza-
ton plan.
The excellent crop outlook in the North
west was the cause for the marked adj
vance in Great Northern TO around the
high of the year. All of the railroad
stocks dependent upon the harvest out
look were among the. issues showing early
strength. Copper stocks continued strong.
The expected return of J. P. Morgan
within two weeks was announced. but
had little effect on the market, although
II was mentioned by the bulls as a pos
sible indication that there might be ac-
tivity in issues his firm is interested in
after his return.

LETTERS TO The EDITOR

Editor Tribune-Dear sir: Please
permit me space in your paper to ex-
plain some reasons why the residents
and landowners of the. Pioneer Irri-
CATION district should vote against the
proposed agreement with the United
States government:
In the first place the government
agrees to expend $35OOOO for drain
age purposes, but fails to bind itself
to do any certain amount of drainage
for the above amount of money.
According to Irrigation Engineer
Walter Wards estimate of the pro-
posed drainage, it would cost $780,
$500, leaving $50, $500 for the dis
trict to furnish to complete said drain
age.
Now, Mr.. Voter, did it ever occur
to you just what this cost meant per
acre? The whole cost for drainage
and Arrow river stock would be $780,
GOO, payable in lOs payments which
would mean SOS per-acre per year
Add to this amount $1.5O, our present
maintenance per year, and figure
about that much more for the keeping
up and repairing of drain bitches and
for repairs on Arrow River Drainage,
and you will have $5.65 per year per
acre actual expenses, which will have
to be met, with $50, $500 yet to raise
to complete said drainage And sup
pose the estimate for said drainage
is not correct What would it mean
then? Take, for instance, the pro-
posed cost of the Deer Flat water.
When the farmers were induced to
sign up their land it was estimated the
cost of government water would be
$1,000 per acre and the Pioneer dis
trict would get credit of $l4.O0 per
acre. Well you see how it was al
most doubled in cost
The present proposed agreement
would cost the farmers $2645 per acre
instead of $16-the original plan.
Now, supposing the estimated cost
of this proposed drainage should dou-
BILE like the first cost of water did.
The farmers could never pay it in a
hundred years, and they had better
fold their tents like tn ARAB and
silently steal away.

COUNTY CANDI.
dates Are BUSY

The past week has been a busy one
for the county candidates on the Re-
publican ticket. They are covering
the different sections of the county in
body and the well-attended meetings
and evident enthusiasm of the au-
diences indicate the usual Republican
majorities in the November election.
Monday night at Franklin a rous-
ing, good, old-time Republican meet
was held; Tuesday night an exception
ally we'll attended, highly enthusia site
meeting was had at Homestead; Wed
nesday the candidates met with the
people at Wiley and were we'll pleased
with the size of the meeting. Last
night a meeting was held at Roswell;
tonight at Parma, and Saturday night
the candidates will meet with the
voters of Creenleaf.
The Republican Clee club is in at
tendance at every meeting and their
singing is highly enjoyed by all. OF
the state legislative ticket, H. c. Bal
bridge, Ralph Oaks, H. c. Bradley.
A. J. Rockwell and c. S. French were
among the party. H. A. Partridge.
w. B. Mitchell, candidates for county
commissioners and A. o. Christopher,
candidate for assessor; Frank Bresh-
ears, candidate for sheriff; B. w.
Henry, candidate for county attorney.
d. d. Harger, candidate for probate
Judge and Mabel Grace Carleton COM
pleted the party.
When asked by Tribune reporter
as to the number of Bull Moose"
encountered, Mr.. Christopher said
AS the season on Bull Moose has
been open for some time it is only
natural that Moose should be pretty
well scattered, which probably ac-
counts for the very few we have en-
countered and the very few signs of
them that we have seen"

Sherman fraudulent, and endorsing
the candidacy of Roosevelt, and de-
clares that mo kind of sophistry OF
evasion can cancel the fact that this
whole proceeding is fraudulent. 1t is
pitful that a great movement for re-
form in politics in California that had
achieved so mucr and promised to do
SO much more should have been
brought to this sorry pass"
The right and honorable thing for
the progressives to have done, he
says. was to place their candidates on
the ticket as progressives, by petition,
so that every voter could vote intelli-
gently for whom he pleased, knowing
whether he was voting for a repub-
lican or progressive.
Crimes Against Franchise.
THE enormity Of these crimes
against the franchise" the statement
continues, sis emphasized and made
more apparent by the ruling of the
supreme court of the state that it has
no power to prevent this usurpation
by the progressives of the rights and
powers of the republican party. 1t
results that the progressives, who are
crying out Thou Shalt not Steal
have by systematic course of fraud,
corruption and perjury, stolen the
rights of the republican party to a
place on the ballot and deprived the
thousands of voters of the right to
vote for the candidate OF their choice,
within their own party"

Senator Heyburn's Last Message to
Idaho People.
Among the last communications
Seator Hepburn wrote, and his final
message to Idaho people, is letter to
Joseph H. Pinkham Of Boise, dated
October 4, and dictated at the Sena-
tors home in Washington. In this
letter Senator Hepburn said he was
still weak and his heart action was
very bad, so it would not be safe for
him to attempt a trip to Idaho, much
as he regretted it. He referred to the
political situation and expressed him
self forcefully, adding that he wanted
his friends to know how he felt with
relation to the questions he briefly
discussed. The follawing extracts are
taken from the communication:
II have felt tempted to write an
open letter but it was so difficult.
Some of our friends are in such am
biguous positions that it might seem
like an effort to strike blow at long
distance and l do not desire to be
charged with that If ! wrote or if l
came out I should talk very plainly on
the situation.
II have no sympathy with men
abandoning their party and the party
that put them into Office merely be-
cause of the passing maudlin senti-
ment of the hour.
"Men should belong to a political
organization openly and above board
Political parties APE political armies,
represeting political principles, and if
a man does not belong to either of
them he should be put between the |
lines and shot at.
"No man is as big as the majority |
of his party. / do not regard the
Roosevelt party as a legitimate or
ganization at all. I regard at as
purely personal, selfish organization,
entitled to no respect or consideration
at the hands of any man.
mo man who really thinks can
have any respect for Roosevelt, either
personally or politically. l feel quite
a satisfaction in my belief that he will
be so completely beaten in the cleo
ton as to put am end to him. have
much more respect for Debs (for whom
l have none) than have for Roose
welt.
1T will break my heart to lose my
vote, but as it appears now it will be
a physical impossibility for me to
come to Idaho to vote.
II cannot write very long letters
yet, but wanted you, and my friends
through YOU, to know how | feel in
regard to these questions"
