OUR ANNIVERSARY.

Editors have habit of mention
ing the anniversaries of their news
papers and now that we think of it,
the Idaho Republican has just fin
ished its ninth year.
1t was the dream of its founder to
conduct the paper during his active
life and turn it over in prosperous
condition to somebody else as he
came to the period when he did not
want to work SO hard and felt like
reading and studying more, and still
clings to that plan.
In the western states things are
so new and unsettled that it is
not so much the aim of business
firms to endure permanently as to
make some money and turn atten-
ton to something else In the older
states a firm or a newspaper runs
along in the same work for genera
lions, and the individual is lost sight
of. The change of an individual
now and then on the working force
or in the ownership is not felt to any
extent by the patrons for the service
continues without interruption.

TREE INSPECTOR REPLYS

Mr.. H. T. Brengman who has been
serving for two or three seasons as
inspector of trees and nursery goods,
takes some exceptions to our state
ments two weeks ago regarding the
matter of inspection He says it is
not the orchard men who are COM
planning of the inspection but the
people who have only a few trees
and do not want to bother with the
spraying. The men who are raising
commercial orchards realize that
sraying is necessary, and they pre-
pare for it, while the man with a
few trees does not.
The person shipping trees from
other~states, he says, is bound to i'm
port diseases If he receives them with
out inspection at any time, and the
only safe way is to have this done
He says the inspectors do not usually
charge anything for inspecting of
plants and shrubs, and frequently
have calls to go out to distant
places like Aberdeen or Arco to in
spect a single shipment of half a
dozen or fifty trees, and if the own
er is simply charged enough to re-
pay car fare of the inspector it would
seem hardship on him, and the in
spector cannot afford to spend the
day for nothing, since he draws no
salary from the state for such trips.
Mr.. Brengman believes in inspec-
ton, but says the public are not
alone in suffering inconvenience. the
inspectors have their share of it and
are making the best of difficult
problem.

POULTRY DEPARTMENT.

Owing to the rapidly growing de-
mand for better poultry and a bet
ter working knowledge in Idaho
along this line the University has ad'
ded a,department of poultry to the
regular college work. This depart
ment will be of great value to the
farmers and poultrymen of Idaho
and other states as well.
+ Construction work is now under
way and equipment will be secured
as rapidly as financial conditions will
permit. A number of colony houses
are being built, sufficient to accom-
modate the birds that will be secur-
ed this year. The department will
secure enough birds for practical
work by the time college opens for
classes this fall.
Poultry judging will be strong
feature and work will be given along
this line sufficient to familiarize the
student with all of the breeds and
varieties. A judging knowledge can
be secured from this work which will
be valuable to the student either as
q breeder or judge of poultry.
Conditions Affecting the poultry
business in Idaho will be studied by
experimenting and by cooperation
with the farmers over the state. The
department expects to reach the
farmer and assist him in every way
possible. The department will study
the poultry under farm conditions
which encourage the farmers OF the
state to improve their stock and me-
thods of caring for the flocks.
The average farmer who keeps a
flock in Idaho, land other states as
well} has not the slightest idea of
the returns in profit. He cannot say
whether the flock is kept at gain
OF lOSS.
The plan is to reach the farmer
and be beneficial to him by the work
in the department and by cooperat-
ing with him in his work on the
farm.
Poultry for profit out Oh the farm
where most of it is grown is large
subject within itself and shall re-
ceive much attention experimentally
and in the college course.
There are many problems in this
day of economical production and the
method that produces the greatest
income at the smallest cost for pro-
duction is the most desired.

RAILROAD NEWS.

OAKLAND, Calf June IS -
The only stretch of elevated railroad
west of Chicago is being built ir
California, at the Oakland terminal
on the Southern Pacific company. II
is to accommodate the numerous sub
urban electric trains that pass at that
point with passengers between the
east bay cities and San Francisco
The rails will be carried on a dou
ble-track, ballasted deck, structure
extending for distance of 1914 feet
or about twelve city blocks The
roadway begins to climb at the foot
of twentieth street on the present
right of way, entering the new Six
teenth street depot on the second
floor Here suburban passengers are
handled without mingling with those
for main line trains. Leaving the de-
pot, the elevation is maintained, the

tracks and allowing the freight trains
to pass underneath at Eleventh street
to the railroad yards. The surface
is again reached at the foot of Ninth
street.
These changes are made to pre-
vent congestion, for the traffic out Of
the Oakland terminal is very heavy.
Street cars and teams will cross I'M
der the overhead tracks in going to
and from the Oakland municipal
wharves on the western front, steel
viaducts having been erected to allow
ample clearance over tracks and the
streets.
Four tracks will carry passengers
between the Sixteenth street depot
and the Mole, two fer electric lines
only and two for through and local
steam trains. 1t is said that these
facilities will greatly expedite the
handling of ferry traffic during ex-
cursions and celebrations, and, in
during the Panama-Paci-
fic International Exposition in 1915.

For Bitnlithic Paving.
A resolution was offered, provid
ing for grading, draining and paving
with bitulthic paving on some of
the streets and charging the same to
the abuting property.
The streets named in the resolu-
ton were Main street from Alice
to Judicial, Bridge street from Ash
street to the railroad, right of way.
The probable cost of paving would
be about "a per front foot on Bridge
street which is 40 feet wide, or
about 81 per front foot on Main
street where the street is 70 feet
wide. The term of payment would
be ten years, beginning with jan
uary 1915, and bear about six per-
cent interest The resolution was
passed by unanimous vote and is
published in this issue on page T.
The street and alley committee
were instructed to try to find a way
to drain Taylor street where irriga-
ting water is standing most of the
time.
Mr. Howard Masterson and How
ard Ferguson of Warren Bros, Co.,
of Portland were in town Tuesday
consulting with citizens regarding
bitulithic paving.
The council decided to make an
inspection of the street heretofore
offered for sale by Bennett and
Fisher to connect east Court street
with something south of it.
No Firecrackers.
A resolution was adopted against
firing explosives of any kind on the
4th of July except on private
grounds.
The chief of police was authorized
to appoint special police for the 4th
of July.
Speeding Automobiles.
The chief of police was instructed
to take some observations so he can
readily tell when car is exceed

WOULD PAVE WAY FOR EXTRA
VAGANCE.

BOISE, Idaho June 17-It will be
impossible for the state of Idaho to
remedy conditions at Blackfoot in
sane asylum where an inmate brut-
ally murdered nve helpless human
beings short time ago.
Attorney General Peterson has
handed down his opinion to Cover
nor John M. Haines, in which he
states that should the state construct
buildings denied by the legislature
the precedent would open up a reign
of extravaganza in government and
would keep the legislature sessions
busy paying bills.
The construction of buildings such
as are needed at Blackfoot would
take. away power given the legisla-
ture by the constitution and let ex-
travagances run riot.

is very detrimental to the keeping
quality of the cream. Thick cream,
that is cream rich in butter fat keeps
better than thin cream. This is due
to the fact that the serum, that is the
substances cher than butter fat in
the cream, decomposes more rapidly
than the butter fat. Cream contain
ing a high percent of butter fat nee
essarily contain correspondingly
smaller per cent of other constitu-
ents, and will consequently keep the
cream sweet and in fresh condition
for greater length of time than
cream not so rich in butter.

er these ferments are much more ac-
tive than is the case in the winter
time thus making cleanliness doubly
important during the warm weather
of the summer months.
Much of the butter made in the
month of June is stored for the COM
ing winter. According to a report
of the secretary of agriculture the
average storage period of butter in
the United States is "A months. In
order to produce butter which will
keep we'll through that period of
storage or longer it is quite impor-
tant that the cream from which the
butter is made should be of the high

KEEPING CREAM IN GOOD CONDI
TION,
PEN MOORE.

At this season of the year as the
warm weather comes on, the keeping
of the cream in a good condition be-
comes more of problem than is the
case during the cold weather of the
winter AS this is also the busy sea
son for the rancher, the care of the
cream on the ranch is often sadly
neglected, and as a result the cream
cry man has to content himself with
low grade of cream for butter max
ing. This is a condition that can east
ly be remedied by little extra time
and care.
One of the main troubles is that
the cream is not cooled sufficiently
after separating. This is trouble
that may be overcome in various
ways. The cream may be run over a
cooler or the can of cream may be
placed in cold water. The latter me-

to be stirred occasionally SO as to cool

gun can is very convenient con-
tainer in which to cool the cream on
account of its small diameter which
allows rapid cooling of the cream.
Warm cream fresh from the separ-
ator should always be cooled before
poured into the cream from the pre-
vious milking as the warming gives
the bacteria in the older cream a
start and will cause 1t to become sour
much sooner than it otherwise would.

fresh cream from the separator into

SEED PEAS ON FIT. HALL TRACT

Encouraged by the success of farm
ers in the upper valley of the Snake
In raising seed peas, number of the
homesteaders on the Fort Hall irri-
gated tract north of Pocatello will
next year seed large acreage in
peas. Between Idaho Falls and Ash
ton there are $4,000 acres of seed
peas, which yield from 20 to Is bus
hels per acre. The growers will this
year ship to four seed companies in
the east and will receive from $3.50
to 81 per bushel, making about three
quarters of million dollars for that
crop alone. Thousands of acres of
land, heretofore devoted to sugar
beets, have been transformed into
seed pea fields. Rotated crops, peas
and beets alternating, enriches the
soil in splendid manner. The soil of
the Fort Hall tract is ideally adapt
ed to seed peas.-Pocatello Tribune.

USELESS TO HOLD ELECTION

An effort is being made to get the
county commissioners to call g
special election to vote again upon
the question of allowing saloons tc
open in this county.
The uselessness of it ought to be
apparent to all when it is remem'
bered that the vote on the question
before was three to one against the
saloons in the old county with Ida
no Falls included, and Idaho Falls
was about evenly divided. Black
foot was dry by vote of 2k to 1,
and if the vote of that time on the
territory comprising the present
county were taken by itself, it
would mount to about five to one
against the saloons.
The conditions were a decided i'm
provement after the saloons were
closed except in the eyes of those
who wanted liquor. The predictions
that there would be loss of business
activity and empty business houses
was not verified but on the contrary,
trade was good in the useful things
of commerce, and merchants and
public service corporations found
their bills were kept paid up better
than before. There was bootlegging
it is true, but there was crime un-
der the old system, and since the
last legislature made the law strong
er and the federal law went into ef-
feet to prohibit shipping liquor in
to dry territory the conditions have
improved.
It Is true this is hard on the man
who wants to drink, and he has our
sincere sympathy, but while we
remember the deplorable conditions
under the old system there can be
no compromise that seeks to take
a backward step on this question.
We believe that practically all who
voted dry at the last local totion
election would do SO now and isrge
numbers who have studied the sit
uation and changed their views
would change their vote from the
wet column to the dry. Six to one
for the drys would be our predic-
ton and the commissioners might
as well save the expense of holding
the election unless they can show
