The American Girl.

The New York Times has started
a discussion as to what are the typi-
cal characteristics of the American
girl Paul Poiret, the psychology
cal French dress-maker, finds her es-
sentially Puritan, we'll bred. Chaun-
cey Depew says she is expensive as
a wife, without domestic accomplish
ments Meredith Nicholson says she
pursues an ideal.
Most Americans know the girls of
other nationalities only through
books, but by this means very
good picture can be had by thought
full people Perhaps the principal
contrast is in the self reliance of
the American girl.
When girls start on the war path
for the subjugation of man, they are
much alike the world over. Ameri-
can girls, like others, are "alluring,
uncertain, coy, hard to please" The
girl who yields easily to the pursuit
of the male animal is regarded as
eccentric. The normal girl wants
to see the man prove his faith by
the passion of his struggle.
The purely sex aspects of the
American girls life are not so prom
inent as formerly, when the search
for a husband was the first aim.
Now most girls prepare to face the
world on basis of Independent SER
vice.
They do not prepare themselves
much for housewifely arts. They
think they can put in their time to
better advantage. With splendid
confidence, they have no doubt OF
their ability to manage a home II
the chance comes.
The result is that the American
girl is not particularly efficient
house-keeper There are more
leaks in the kitchen than the French
or German girl would care to show
But the American girl has not vast
ed her time. She is penetrating
student of life. Her husband linds
her sparkling nature a fountain OF
refreshment, and her keen intuition
an enlightening guide in the prob
lens of daily life.

Sheep Raisers Worried by Wolves.

McGregor, Ia, Oct. 27.-Farm-
ers in the Cherry Mound country
north of Yellow river have been
troubled with wolves the last few
weeks. A number of farmers keep
flocks of sheep and one, William
Nicholson, has large herd of
goats. Though they have not lost
many of their docks, it is only, they
believe, because they have been
shutting them up at night and
guarding them carefully daytimes.
Almost every night the wolves are
heard bowling in the timber A
number of hunters with packs of
wolf hounds have been camped in
the vicinity the last few days, COM
ing there at the request of the far
mers.

The building of the big stock yards
and sales barns 10 progressing rapidly
and it is expected that everything will
be in readiness for the first sales
July 34-s.
The surveyors have about finished
their work and the contracts have
been awarded for the necessary struc-
lures.
General Manager Turner is highly
optimistic regarding the offerings TOR
the sale next month. Almost daily
he is in receipt of new inquiries and
promises of stock for sale. Messrs.
p. c. Peterson, Spurlock Bros, A..
Varata and Carey Bros, all large
horse and stock men Of the Harvey
valley country this week made ar
rangements to enter horses and stock
for sale. These men control large in
terests and it IL a matter of congrat-
ulation that they have become inter-
ested in this market.
While it IS q matter Of impossibility
to predict the size of the sale at this
time, certain it Is that it will be OF a
volume considerable in excess Of any
thing of the sort ever held in this city
The sales will be held monthly for the
balance of the year and will naturally
grow in volume ss the dates become
more widely known.

800 Majority
PARTY SPECIAL INTEREST
Hasenbarth Returns from Washing

al Administrations Capital
lists Investigating Irrigated Idaho
Husbands Must Work

The sentiment of the people of this
section of the state is Overwhelmingly
dry. With the sole exception OF Ada
county there is not an agricultural
county in southern Idaho which is in
favor of the licensed saloon. At
present Elmore and Owyhee counties
also have saloons. At the election
which was held two years ago and at
which Elmore county went wet, the
majority was only Is. The question
will come up gain in the near future.
The Tribune predicts that at the next
election Elmore county will be found
In line with the other progressive
counties of southern Idaho. Ada
county is likely to remain in the wet
column for number OF years owing
to the commanding position held in
the county by Boise. Outside Of Boise
Ada county is as dry as the best OF US.
The movement in favor Of the pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic is grow
ing in all sections of the country but
probably more rapidly in the west
than any other section. In Idaho
there remains but eight wet counties
These will be changed to the dry col
umn, with one or two exceptions,
within the next two or three years.
The passage of the Webb bill over the
veto Of President Taft has given the
prohibition forces great advantage
in ali these local option fights. If
this law il upheld by the courts it is
only a question of time until the traf-
fc in alcoholic liquors, Under sanction
of law, will be entirely done away
with. Former Attorney General Wick
ersham, and under his advice, sPresi-
dent. Taft, held that the Webb bill was
unconstitutional on the grounds that
it delegated to the states the conrol OF
the interstate commerce which reposes
solely in The hands of congress.
The case will get to the supreme
court of the United States within a
short time when the question will be
finally settled.
The result of the local option cam
paign in Washington county was a
great victory for the drys. The fight
was a clean-cut affair. The minds of
the people were not beclouded, befud-
died and poisoned by fictitious, minor
and unreal issues. They had the OPP
portunity to express their honest con-
victions and did so in manner that
cannot be misunderstood. At the cleo
ton 1854 votes were cast of which the
drys got 1000 and the vets 1924, Civ
ing the drys majoriy of 766. Wash

ample set by Canyon and Bannock
counties nearly two years ago

Hagenbrath Finds Another Special
Interest

According to Frank J. Hagenbrath,
president of the national wool grow
ers' association, the Democratic party
10 one of the special interests. The
Wilson Underwood tariff bill now be-
fore congress Is being framed with the
sole purpose of protecting the inter-
ests Of the party without regard to the
interests of the country ut large. A.
an illustration President Hagenbartef
points out that the industries Of the
western states, where votes are few,
received scant consideration at the
hands of the House committee on
ways and means. He also strongly
intimates that appointments to office
or made or held up with the sole pur-
pose Of strengthening the Democrat
ic party. Upon his rteurn from Wash
ington few days ago Mr.. Hagen
barth gave out an interview in which
he said:
1.-THE principal staples of the west,
sugar, wool, beef, live stock. lead and
zinc, are being asked to seek free
