early POTATOES
ARE The CROP

There is no crop on which the av.
erage farmer can obtain better, quick.
er or surer returns than that of early
potatoes" said Sam G. Smith, of the
Canyon Commission company, whose
long experience in handling fruits and
produce in Colorado has fitted him
prominently to judge of conditions
affecting these lines. Continuing, he
said:
"The farmer in this territory has
the advantage of being able, with the
same care of the crop, to mature po-
tatoes two weeks ahead of the earli-
est of the mountain territories; and
every minute of those two weeks is
golden for the grower
"1n other words, the market for
potatoes from this country during the
latter part of July and the first part
of August is practically unlimited.
We have very fair freight rate as
far east as the Missouri river and the
territory between Kansas City and
Texas. in the south, San Francisco
and Los Angeles, in the southwest,
and Portland and Seattle, would draw
largely from here once we demon
strated to them our ability to furnish
the stock.
Early as Against Late Potatoes.
II recommend the early potatoes as
against the late varieties for various
reasons, the chief being:
"The harvesting of the early crop,
coming August first, the farmer could
dig, sack and deliver his crop in one
day; and I, or any other commission
man who knows his business, would
stand ready to guarantee market for
cash on delivery. No storing in
caves or cellars must be resorted to
later, and what other crop can be
planted in the spring and harvested,
with sure returns on delivery August
first, at a price always in advance of
that paid on later potatoes?
Late Potatoes Handicapped.
while the late varieties of pota-
toes may be raised at profit, in mar
keting we of this district must always
work under handicap of higher
freight rates to the fall markets than
our competitors have to pay. For in
stance. Greeley, Col. shipping 10 to
II thousand cars of potatoes every
fall and winter. enjoys rates to Mis-
souri, river, Kansas and Texas points
ranging from IS to 20 cents below
ours. Other points more centrally
located have the same advantage over
us.
"But these places cannot put pota-
toes on the market August first; and |
we have field clear of competition
1t that period. 1t all resolves itself
INTO this propositions: One late pota-
.oes the grower pays the freight in
with growers of other
districts; on early potatoes. the con-
sumner pays the freight. because. with

FOR
President TAFT

In letter addressed to the chair
man of the Republican county centra
committee of Oneida county, Attor
ney General d. G. McDougall ex
presses himself as in favor of the re-
nomination of President Taft. Gen.
eral McDougall says:
R. T. Owens, Esq,
Chairman County Republican Cen.
trail Committee, Malad, Idaho.
My dear Mr.. Owens:
AS the time is about here when we
must select our delegates to the Ma
tional Convention to nominate a can
didate for next president, and where
as, you have very properly called the
primary to express the preferences of
the Republicans of Oneida county in
their choice for president, and mas
much as it now appears there will be
but two candidates before the conven-
tion,-namely, President Taft and ex-
President Roosevelt, l would like to
know your views and the ideas of the
Republicans at home as to which of
these two we should favor for re-nom-
nation, and in asking your views I
am inclined to give you mine, and the
reasons for them.
l think this state should send dele
gates to the national convention in ia
vor of the denomination, of President
Taft, for the following reasons:
First. He has been consistent dur
ing his term of Office in carrying out
the promises made in the Republican
platform, and continuing the policy
which was so universally approved by
the country. and started by former
President Mckinley, and the policies
which were pursued by President
Roosevelt during his first term.
Second. That having carried out
the policies of the party as outlined
by the platform in wise, honest and
successful administration, he is enti-
tied to a second term.
Third. He is friend to the west,
particularly to the State of Idaho.
and has done much to relieve the sit
uation and almost unbearable condi-
tons that were imposed upon the
state by the last two years of the
former administration, l am perhaps
in better position to be acquainted
with some of the friendly acts of the
president towards this state than you,
but many of them are generally
known. among them are the following
in which he has shown his friendli- |
ness to this state, and his desire to |
aid in its development:
l. 1t was through his aid and infu-
ence that Senator Borah's bill secur-
ing $2O,OOO,OOO from the national gov
eminent for the aid of the reclama-
hon service was passed, out of which |
sum the state of Idaho received ST.
SIS, 435, which makes a total amount
received from the government allot- /
ment for the reclamation service in
his state of $l6,058,OOO
2. Senator Borah also received his
support and influence in the passage
of the enlarged homestead bill.
3. He has been through this state
vice since he has been president of
he United States, and taken the time
% visit the different parts and become
with its needs and re-
and many of its people.
4. This state, under the laws of the
United States had applied for over
100000 acres of the finest timber land
n the world situated in the northern

Friday night last Caldwell and
Gooding highs held the state cham.
pionship debate. Supt. Gray brough,
his negative team here while Prin
Greene took our negative team to
Gooding. Those who heard the de.
bates last year and this can see wha,
an Improvement our boys have made
in year.
Gooding's team was composed OF
Misses Osborn, Wilson and Bennette
The girls put up a good debate and
gave evidence OF careful training.
For the Caldwell high, the negative
team comprised Messrs. Ralph Bres-
hears, Edward Roseman and William
Welsh; and the affirmative Messrs.
George Kincaid. Chas. Harding and
Albert Steelman.
Mr.. Edgar Meek was the presiding
officer of the evening. Prin. L. D.
Sparks of Weiser, Prin. Carper of
Star and Attorney Haines of Payette
were the judges. Supts. Gray and
Brooks acted as timekeepers.
At Caldwell the decision was Is
points in favor of our team while at
Gooding it was 4 points in Our favor.
This made total of II points, thus
giving the championship to Caldwell
for the second consecutive year.
Our boys are enthusiastic over the
treatment they received at Gooding,
and nothing but the best of feeling ex-
lists between the two schools.
The attention of the officials Of the
local high school was called to an in
terview published in the Sunday
Statesman. They declared that Cald-
we'll holds the state champ onship by
all that is right and just On the part
of the officials of the local high school
the affair has been conducted upon
grounds entirely impersonal. The ar
ticle in the Sunday Statesman is not
a presentation of the contentious OF
Boise upon constitutional grounds,
they declare, but merely personal
thrust at a member of the Caldwell
High School faculty, and he is too
much of gentleman to reply in SIM
liar terms.
After the debate. the Junior girls
of the Domestic Science class gave
a reception to the Gooding team.
Supt. Gray, the judges, Board of Ed
ucation, and the High School faculty
were also guests. Light refreshments
were served and high compliments
passed upon the skill of the Junior
girls in their culinary art.
Tuesday the girls of the Sophomore
class served noon luncheon to those
who wished to come. The menu was
as follows:
Wafacs 7c. biscuits 4 for Sc. egg roll
Sc, coffee Sc. cocoa Sc. The girls

the compromise Smoot bill or nothing.
The attitude of Senator Reed Smoot
of Utah to a bill which would more
justly compensate the few survivors
Of the Civil war for their losses and
hardships in the war, was not a sur
prise to anyone. Mr.. Smoot, one of
the high officials of the Mormon
church, has time and again demonstrate
ed that he is interested in no class of
American citizens save Mormons and
those millionaires who own the tariff
trusts. AS Senator Smoot has stepped
into the powerful place occupied by
Aldrich in the senate, he is in a posi-
ton to practically dictate what that
body does.

THE COAT TAILS OF SETH LOW


1t did not need the genius OF VIII
liam NJ. Chase TO immortalize Seth
Low. As a great educator and leader
in the best thought Of his time he
has long been recognized by the nation
as one OF It's most distinguished men
However, the city of Brooklyn, whose
mayor he once was. had a full length
portrait Of him painted by the famous
artist and put II up in Borough hall.
There for a number OF years il has
been gazed upon reverently by his
former constituents.
But II there is a municipal art com
mission loose I'm or near a place where
any immortalizing in its line is going
on IL is sure 10 butt in on the Job.
That's what has happened In this case.
Brooklyn. now that II is a part of
Greater New York, finds that IL is in
the clutches OF one OF these organiza-
lions. The commission, when IL got
around 20 II. very gravely and delib-
eratcly inspected the Low portrait
Now IL wouldn't do for a municipal art
commission 10 inspect a public work
OF art with the creation Of which il
had nothing TO do. and find that in all
respects II was as IL should be. So II
discovered that the tails OF Seth Low s
coat were wrong and Mr.. Chase has
been ordered TO make him new ones.
II isn't exactly clear what ails those
coat tails. but OF course, there must
be something wrong. Perhaps they
don't track properly or maybe the car
buretor is out OF whack There may
be a bulge Of suspicious appearance
in one OF them. Mayhsp a suspender
button has caught in the lining Of the
starboard tail and elevated il indecor-
ously Perhaps the coat is a western
iimswinger, and of course. no art com.
mission could be expected to stand for
that
But the important question Is. how
long is the municipal art commission
going 20 keep this thing up? The
styles in coat tails are almost sure TO
change next year. Must Seth Low
submit then 10 further trifing with
his raiment' And what is 70 be done
when he passes 10 his reward? Will
the commission so with him 10 keep
tab on the changes in harps and ha-
loes? Certainly II has set a precedent
which promises interesting develop
ments.
