IF, on the final hearing, the COM

taken into possession, if necessary; or
il can be disposed of as the court may
deem best. provided the Georgetown

The Idaho delegation in con-
gress and those of other western
states are urging strongly the
proposition Of securing the ap:
pOlntment. of a western man as
secretary OF the interior in Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet. They
assert that western man is
more APP to administer the
public Ian q laws in the interest
OF the people of the west because
he would probably be more con-
ve'4sant with western conditions
nan an eastern man is presum-
ed to be. Yet when it is limited
that a 'S,onservationist" will be
appointe d, these western con-
gressmel and senators show
alarm. The reason for this is
that SO many OF them do not
want cons ervation. They would
rather have things as they were
before the phrase conservation
OF natural resources" was coined
and if.they can: get a man into
the interior department who will
be entirely in sympathy with
them and amenable to their in
fiuenees, they will be satisfied.
They don't realize that the con-
servation policy is not strong
enough yet, but on the contrary
they believe it has been carried
too far; they believe it would
have been better for the settle
ment OF the west, the develop
ment OF the resources and the
prosper ity of the people to have
let the remaining forests and
water power sites and coal lands,
pass into private hands, to
eventually pass under corpora
ton control and out of sthe
hands of the people forever. For
that reason the word "conserva
tom does not sound good to
them and they long for a more
liberal policy. For that reason
they want a western man for
secretary Of the interior.

The Age of Wanderlust.

Commenting on the annual m ptor
display at which cars valued at more
than million dollars were exhibited.
The Car, leading London weekly,
takes occasion to refute the I'M res
sion prevailing in some quarters that
the motor car is an evidence of an
undue increase 10 wealth. And the
editor makes an analysis to show that
instead of dcnotlng growing extrava-
gance, the motor car, In his country
at least, makes for economy. Motor
ing is not a luxury any longer, but a
means OF living ones everyday life to
more advantage for business and
recreation alike" The same class of
people who are now using high-grade
cars had, ia 1902. ten years ago, the
following vehicle equipment: A Fl ami.
| ly omnibus, brougham, a wagonette
two dogcarts, and one pony cart be-
sides the horses To care for these
they employed head coachmah. a
first groom, a second groom and a
helper. Against this equipment and
help they have now one motor-caI
Limousine, and one two.seater (per-
haps), while the help consists of one
motorman. and cleaner once ol
twice a week
| A positive saving in expense has
thus been accomplished. The reason
the condition now is more spectac
Is because in the horse days there was
nothing to correspond to the present
day motor show And, to quote tht
same authority again, How rich

A NUMBER OF bills have been
introduced in the legislature
creating new counties in south
ern Idaho. To preserve some
thing like an equal representa-
ton, commensurate with its
Importance, new counties will
also have to be created in the
northern part OF the state. So
far, bills have been introduced
asking for the formation OF two
new northern counties, one by
The division OF Bonner, and the
other by the division OF koote-
mai and Shoshone counties. 1t
is proposed to name the latter
st. Joe county and include in it
i'll oil the st. Maries country and
the Cnur d'Alane Indian reser-
walton (now the southern end OF
kootenaD, and all OF the st. Joe
valley and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee railroad in Shoshone, which
would traverse the proposed
new county from east to west.
The line OF division would be
about six miles south OF I1ar-
lison, and st. Maries would be
the logical county seat OF the
new county, with Plummer as a
vigorous rival. The piece to be
taken off of ShoshOne county
would equal in area the slice
from kootenai, and altogether
he new county would cover con,
siderable territory and would
start with a taxable wealth Of
$1O,OOO,OOO. Ii new counties
have to be organized in the
north, there are several reasons
why st. Joe county will proba
bly, be one of them.
