NOT THE RIGHT MAN.

LaFollette don't believe that
Roosevelt is the right kind of a pro-
gressive to find the way out OF the
troubles that now confront the peo-
pie of the United States. In a
speech in the senate last week, the
Wisconsin Senator made use of
some pretty strong language that
will bear repeating. In reply to
remark by another Senator, he said:
ON the day that Theodore
Roosevelt was made president of
the United States there were l4S
trusts and combinations in the
United States. When he turned
this government over To William
Howard Taft there were lO,O2O
plants in combination. When he
became president the trusts han an
aggregate capitalization of $1,000
900, 900, and when he left the pres
idency they had an aggregate cap
italization of s3l 600, ,00O,O 900 and
more than 20 per cent of il was
water.
1.-The present administration has
sought to apply the antitrust law
more vigorously than its predeces-
sor, but the time to have applied
the Sherman antitrust law effective
ly was in the infancy Of these trusts
when there were only llS.
Il do not believe that the MAJ
who was president at the time OF al
times in the history of the Sherman
antitrust law when it could hav
been made potential in deterrinl
trust organization l do not thinl
that the man who was presiden

Some interesting Figures.

Among the mass OF statistical in
formation hidden away in the dry
as-dust columns of fact and figures
contained in the 1911 year book Of
the Department of Agriculture may
be found a few grains of matter
which serve to show, as nothing else
could, the splendid agricultural de-
velopment Of Southern Idaho.
Here is the 1911 average yield to
the acre Of potatoes:
Idaho, lS0 bushels to the acre.
Maine, $50 bushels to the acre.
Washington, 100 bushels to the
acre.
New Jersey, 73 bushels to the
acre.
Note that Idaho tied Maine for
first place.
In the matter of hay production
in the United States, Idaho ranks
ninth as hay producing state, and
virtually the entire crop comes from
Southern Idaho. Her crop in 1911
is shown to be about equal to that
Of Kansas and larger than that Of
Nebraska.
Here are some comparative fig
ureS on the 1911 hay production in
the western states:
Idaho, ,62S,O 900 tons.
California, ,225, 900 tons.
Colorado, | 10000.
Utah, 100000.
Washington, $50, 900.
Oregon, 9i9,O 900.
The 1912 yield is probably CON
sidcrahly heavier.-Twin Fall'

r.s THIRD PARTY TICKET.

,aor a season Of suspense on the
the voters of the state re-
I;og the prospects OF a third
,s,o ticket in Idaho, their anxiety
p" has been relieved by the announce
,nout from Boise of the selection OF
.,o,e ticket by the Progressive, or
poooevelt party, made up as fol-
lows. -,
Far Governor, IL. Harlands of
Payelte. - 49,
For Lieut.. Governor, DR.. T. W.
Boyd, OF Twin Falls.
for Treasurer, Alexander Peter
son, Of Welser
Far Atty General, f. ii. Huttle,
Of Twin Falls.
ror Congress, P. NJ. Snock, Of
New Plymouth.
There are several vacancies which
may be filled later.
II was thought for a time that
there would be no third party ticket,
hut the pressure brought TO bear
mon the committee by outside III
au,nce was 81 strong that they had
to yield.
The advent Of a third party ticket
in this state can only have the
effect Of making more certain than
ever the reelection of Gov. Hawley
and the possible defeat of Senator
Borah. If will however, mix STATE
politics up to a large extent anc
keep the politicians guessing.

The Shoshone Journal states that
a number of contest cases have been
instituted against Carey act entries
where the entrymen have failed to
make any improvements or to keep
up their water payments. MIR.
Clark, the. depot agent at Dietrich
has recently won forty near Die
trich by contest, and Mr.. Satory, of
the same town, is contesting an
other forty. Another contest is be-
ing instituted from Shoshone for
land Just east of the Gooding ranch
There are too many entries on
which no improvements are being
made and a few more contests may
liven up things.

NOT CONCERNED.

A notice appeared last.week for
a meeting OF the directors Of the
North Side Canal Co. to be held at
Miner the coming Saturday for the
purpose Of authorizing the consent
and agreement 10 a stipulation for
storage water in Jackson lake IN lieu
Of any claim for priority the compa-
ny might have over the government
at Minidoka. A copy of this notice
has been sent 10 every entrynan on
the tract and contains a request that
the stockholders file amy objection
they may have to this agreement
prior TO this meeting.
We do not know why this notice
was sent 10 entrymen, a. there II
probably not Ia exceed two or three

this matter, and is to he hoped that
very few have committed themselves
In any way.
1t should be we'll known that I'M

practically all the stock in the North

RECOGNITION FOR IDAHO.

Idaho has at last secured recogni-
ton in the matter of railroad rates,
and tourists and homeseekers who
come west next month to see Idaho
will do so without first iourneying
to coast points as has been the Gus
tom in the past. An announce
ment to this effect was issued yes
terday from the office of :. J Rich,
state immigration commissioner.
Mr.. Rich says that the rates will
he in effect from September % to
October 10 over the Union Pacific
The rate from the Missouri river Il
Idaho during that period, will b'
S25, from Chicago s2S, and from
st. Louis S21.
In each instance the rates to tn
Pacific coast are S5 higher, insteaC
of being the same amount. Here
tofore, when the rate To Idaho point
was the same as that advertised t,
coast points, nearly all tourists ant
colomists took advantage of the ex
ira trip and visited the coast befor
returning to Idaho, their origins
destination. Frequently man
changed their minds and locate

President Taft is becoming scepti-
cal regarding the electors chosen IN
the various states, as it has come to
his ears that some of them are like
lv to cast their vote for Roosevelt,
and the President wants them to as
sert themselves at once. This is nc
more than right as it would he a
breach of faith for an elector chosen
on the regular republican ticket t.
forsake his party in the electora
college.

The alfalfa weevil, which has be-
come quite a pest i'll Utah, has
made its appearance in some of the
border counties of Idaho, and steps
are being taken 10 prevent It's spread
in this state. 4. :. Parsons, of the
Wyoming University, says the best
methods Of combating the pest are
to renovate the alfalfa field in the
spring to stimulate the growth and
Ia brush drag the field thoroughly
after the first cutting, then lrrigate
thoroughly. Gathering machines
NAV be used to good advantage
when the insects are most numer-
ous All weeds and rubbish should
be cleaned from the fields, yards
bitches and fence rows 40 that there
will be less opportunity for the wee
wills to find winter shelter. In in
tested districts alfalfa fields shonlo
be broken up ~ soon ~ possible
and planted to some other crop 10

MORE RAILROAD TALK.
Report that the Idaho Southern VIII
be Consolidated with the West
em Pacific System.

Railroad talk has been greatly 7
augmented throughout this section
oi Southern Idaho since the visit Of
the Western Pacific representatives
here a couple of weeks ago. Inter.
est i'll the matter has been extended
a. far west rs Boise, to such an ex-
tent that prominent capitalists of
that city including Governor Haw-
ley, are now going over the proposed
route with view Of extending the
line on 10 Boise.
A pretty well authenticated report
reaches us that the Kuhn Interests
will consolidate their Idaho south
ern line with the Western Pacific
extension, This would mean the
immediate completion OF their line
through TO Miner, and the contin-
uation of Western Pacific from Twin
Falls to Milner, where they would
cross the river. Though the details
have not been made public a. yet,
it il known that Manager MacWat-
ters has been in SanFrancisco nego-
tiating the consolidation and advic-
a. from him to interested parties in
this section would indicate that the
deal had been practically consuma-
ted.
There is every reason 10 believe
among capitalists both here and at
the other end Of the line that there
will be no difficulty in financing the
project after the most favorable re-
port of the investigating committee,
and that the line is practically as
sured.
BY utilizing the Idaho Southern
il gives the company a line across
the entire tract 10 a connection with
the Short Line at Gooding or posi-
hly Bliss, from which point tn,
Boise interests would expect then
to build to the Capital, proposition
thatseems most probable.
The consumation of the plan a
now proposed means much more Il
the Great North Side tract than tn,
most sanguine can imagine. i
would at once open up Il new mar
kct for our produce and togethe
with the completion of the Panam;
canal put us in touch with the ia
eastern and foreign markets at rate
We could never hope TO obtain b,
the all rail route. As a result thi
! would have tendency tO AT ono
, enhance land values throughout thl
section, and with the advantage
now possessed 10y the North Sid
tract, open up n new era oi pros
perity. All things come to thos
. who wait, and our advice to the set
= tier is Ia stick for the big show.
