The following suggestion.
which is from an article in
last weeks Malad Enterprise.
Is just as applicable to the
farmers of this valley as it is
to those of Malad valley. The
suggestion is in line with
those which have frequently
been made by the Examiner,
and we firmly believe that the
dairy industry, il taken up by
the farmers of this valley in
the proper manner, would be
the means Of bringing more
ready cash into the valley,
and greater profits to the far
mers than any other one
branch of farming. The En-
terprise says:
THE dairy industry is one
that should receive encour-
agement from every institu-
ton in the valley. The far
mers of this valley could just
as well as not be milking a
thousand or fifteen hundred
more COWS than they are at
the present, and the lncreas-
ed revenues, without any ex-
penditure other than that of
little energy, would be SUI
ficient to at least cover the
household expense during the
summer months. The com
munity would be enriched to
the extent of $40, 900 to $50,
600 in the clear. and many
farmers who now have moth
ing coming in from one har-
vest season to another would
be enabled to live without
going in debt. Tt il up To he
business men of the valley to
encourage the raising of bet
ter stock and more profitlble
crops if they would open ave
nues of new and greater vol
umes of business for them
selves. Before the business
of the community can grow to
any extent the wealth OF the
valley must be increased"

What will be the fate Of the
proposed tax commission bill
at the hands of the special
session of the Legislature is a
matter of some conjecture.
Unless the Democratic legis
lators have experienced ii
great change of heart since
the adjournment Of the regu-
lar session, this bill will have
a hard time getting thru
either house. The Capital
News calls attention to the
fact that the tax commission
bill. introduced mt the last
session. and which by tie
WAY. WAS not rs drastic as he
one now proposed BY the rev,
enue commission. was oppos
ed by every democratic mem
Der except Senator Freehafer
and Representative Galloway.
It was also generally under
stood that Governor HawIey
was decidedly opposed to the
bill. Will the seven demo-
cratic senators and % demo
cratic representatives who
voted against the tax commits
sion bill last winter stand by
their convictions, or will they
permit Governor Hawley to
whip them into line for a
measure which is far more
drastic than the one they and
the governor opposed one
short year ago?

New York Citx,s Seal.

A man who has done research and
writing in New York city history ex
planned the other day the Significance
of the two barrels on the seal Of the
city. OF the four spaces cut % by
four windmill blades, set at right I'm.
giles to each other, two beavers occupy
the upper and lower, while barrel Is
in each of the spaces to the right and
the left.
Il can understand the meaning of
the windmill arms and Of the bea vers.
but why should the city of New York
be represented by couple of beer bar
rels?" some one asked.
The barrels are not beer, but flour
barrels. In early colonial times under
the English New York got the exclu.
sive right to bolt -four, which brought
the town such prosperity that the 1our
barrel was naturally an appropriate
selection for the city seal.-New York

The Northwest Products Exposition,
as it will be called, will be held in
Minneapolis, November IL to %. The
seven states which will participate are
Minnesota, North and South Dakota.

To make this exposition possible the
business men of Minneapolis will erect
building of solid steel, brick and con-
crete with great exposition floor 25Ox

den, New York City.
At a cost of $4,000 the Civic and
Commerce Association of Minneapolis
and the st. Paul Association of Com
merce have bought space from the
Northwest Development League for
the seven states where their official ex-
hibits will be installed.
The Northwest Products Exposition
will be almost twice as large in extent
as the "Land Show held in st. Paul
and it is the hope OF the officers of the
Northwest Development League that
it will be better exposition in every
way as they have almost ten full
months to prepare for it whereas they
had but little more than three months
to organize the st. Paul show.
'"The Products Exposition can only
be likened to miniature worlds fair, I"
said President Penwell in speaking of
the outlook. 1.-THE northwest states
have learned the exhibit business, and
have learned that it is necessary to .ad-
vertise in a very graphic way to at

Stronqth of the Condor.

The enormous strength of the condor

ness. This immense bird often pounces
upon small animals, but from the
shape and bluntness of his claws he is
unable to carry anything very heavy,
SO he contents himself with fixing 1t
against the ground with one of his
claws, while with the other and his
powerful beak he rends it to pieces

Northwestern's Further Hopeful
Movements.

Lewiston Tribune: The New York
financial telegraphic letter this morn
ing carries the announcement that the
Chicago & Northwestern railway has
issued SIS, 900, 600 bonds in the name of
a subsidiary company which it operates
in the northwestern field. This is the
company which it has been semi-offici-
ally declared had acquired the Pittsbgrg
& Gilmore and which was being put
under construction to the coast, the
route bringing it to Lewiston, where
it would use the present joint trackage
of the Harriman-Hill systems to Port
land. The Tribune also announced a
few days ago that contractors had been
examining the route and the specifica-
tons and that they expected to have
construction forces in the field so early
as during March. The bond flotation
announced yesterday is, without rea-
sonable doubt, intended to cover this
construction and indicates the last stage
has arrived in the fulfillment of this
important development in transconti-
mental transportation. 1t is not merely
an isolated fact or several of them, but
systematic series of facts and author
itative statements that lead to the be-
lief that this road is even now in pro-
cess of being built and that very few
weeks more will perhaps see its acti-
yities under way. This is said with
full realization of the fact that railway
rummors and expectations have be-
come almost joke, and rather I'M
pleasant one, seeing the numerous dis
appointments that have been exper-
fenced even after things looked bright
est and most assured. Mindful of all
that, and of the uncertainties that be-
set human affairs, it would not be right
to unduly arouse anyone's hopes and
no one should let himself be misled by
futurities of any description. 1t is GER
tainly in order, however, for everyone
to feel encouraged and confident, ard
they can be SO anyhow by reason of
the numerous advantages and oppor-
tunities that attach to their locality,
even if it should fall out that they must
wait yet little longer to be put on the
main line.
This Chicago & Northwestern, com
ing as Ii does upon the particular route
to Lewiston that it has appropriated
and partly built, will probably be the
greatest road for Lewiston that could
be built, seeing the new country it will
develop and the further fact that for
several hundred miles in either direc-
ton Lewiston will be the largest and
most important point on the system.
Not only so, but because of the Law of
the land, commerce would necessarily
drain this way, instead of in contrary
way, as is the case with the Milwaukee's
unfortunate norlh Pacific extension.
Here, also, there would be great in
terchanging of traffic with the North
ern Pacific ard Hartman roads and
a consequent rlassing for that purpose.
1t Will be a great road for Idaho and
for Lewiston, and there are most sub
stantial and convincing reasons for be-
lisving it is an assurance. and very
early one, too.

KIN OF CLAY To

Family of Slayer Will Ask Gov

Sentence.

The entire family of Robert L. Clay
wife slayer and alleged maniac, con-
demned to die on the gallows in the
Tower next Friday, will appear before
Governor Brown Monday morning and
make a final plea to save him.
The governor will be asked to com
mute the death sentence to life inn
prisonment, and if this appeal fails
Attorney w. NJ. Smith, counsel for the
doomed man. will ask for the appoint
ment of a special lunacy commission
to examine Clay and report on his men,

Should a lunacy commission be APP
pointed, it is likely that Clay will be
respited, pending the examination anC

the Jail are preparing for the eXecu-
ton.
During his trial. several months ago
Clay was declared sane by commits
sion of three alienists-Drs. James
Baird, James Ellis and S. H Green
appointed by the court. The county
commission since has declined to pay
for their services and Clay's friends
are without funds to obtain another ex-
animation.
For this reason w. NJ. Smith has ad-
dressed a letter to the three physicians
who examined Clay, urging them t.
make another test as a professional
duty.
