SNOW FALL RUINS IRISH
CROPS.

1t Is so easy for us to find fault
ditions because they are so apparent
to us, being right at hand; but when
we cast about us and make COMPARE
sons, We at once recognize that fact,
If we are honest with ourselves, that
Camas Prairie has no superior as an
agricultural and stock producing coun.
try. While We would greatly appre-
ciate more settled weather in the
spring time, and longer summer sea-
sons, who is there on the Prairie
who would except the cyclone condi
lions of the east and middle west in
exchange for all the short comings of
this marvellous country? Not one of
us would do so. Below we give a
clipping from the London Daily Tel
egram of the first of the month, tel
ling of the unfortunate weather con-
ditions in a section of Ireland where
snow is practically unknown. 1t says.
"Snow to the depth of several inch
eS lies adj over the MldlanQ and
West of Ireland, and extreme wintry
conditions prevail. Lambs have per
ished In large numbers on hills that
are covered with snow in some plac-
es nearly a foot deep. Farming oper
ations are completely suspended, and
reports from outlying districts state
that the early crops, particularly fruit
crops. are irretrievably ruined. To
the memory of the oldest inhabitants
such weather has not prevailed fol
forty years. Rivers are much swol
len, and should the present weather
continue the farmers living on the
banks of the Shannon will be unable
to cultivate their lands owing to thu
floods"

OUR ADVANTAGES.

The reports brought in Of the crop
conditions on Camas Prairie are most
flattering, indeed. While the sea-
son had been somewhat late for SOW.
ing of spring crops, most of them are
in. and the exceptionally promising
condition OF the fall grain which is
a far better acreage than ever sown
before, more than makes amends for
any shortage that may be found in
the spring acreage.
The unfortunate condition in Kan
sas, where it is said some 5000, 900
acres of grain is in an almost perish
ing condition for want of moisture, as
well as the unpromising outlook in
some of the other middle western
states when contrasted with the pro-
misses of such bounteous crop here,
should cause all mounting and
grumbling about imaginary hardships
to be turned into peans of thanks
giving and praise This is the best
agricultural country on earth, so far
as 1t has been explored, and there is
no getting away from the fact. Lets
be glad We are here and behave
ourselves.

ECONOMY OF GOOD ROADS.

Advocates of highway improvement
are often met with the objection that
good roads cost too much. The OBJ
jectors are often oblivious to the fact
that at the same time they may be
paying out more for bad roads than
the good roads would cost, Truthful
ly remarks the Charleston Evening
Herald. 1t Is a fact that more mon
ey has been wasted on misapplied
efforts In unscientific road-making
than would have been required to
establish the best Of permanent high
ways. This Is true of nearly all
parts Of the country.
At the same time the great saving
by the use Of good roads, as COM
pared with bad roads, Is seldom rea-
HEED. OF the more than two million
miles of public roads In the United
States. only about seven per. cent are
improved. Over these unimproved
roads Of the country. in a single crop
year. are hauled $4,000. O00. 900 pounds
or 1880 tons, OF farm products, from
farms to shipping points. This does
not include forest or mine products
or merchandise that goes from city
to country. The average cost Of
hauling per ton, per mile. has been
estimated at. twenty-three cents. On
good stone roads the cost would be
only eight cents; on bad earth roads.
"a cents; ON ordinary stone roads, IL
cents. A reduction to IL cents would
mean a saving of more than $780,
000.00 year In the transportation of
farm crops, or enough to build u.s.
900 miles of the best kind of perma-
nent highway.
This would mean a saving of al
most 100000 day to the farmers
of the country, after the roads were
established.
There Is good economic reason for
the present movements throughout
the country in behalf Of national. state
and local highways Of permanent char
acter. The people are coming to
see that bad roads are wasteful and
good roads are profitable and econ
omical.

Utter, AND THE TILTED.

The results of the uo-Vollmer
school election, permitting the long
sought division Of the district, had
such an uplifting effect that It in,
spired the editors of the two towns
to take all risks I'm their own hands
and MARBLE forth as follows:
The Register called upon the Muse
for the following inspiration after the
election last week:
Above you see an Ilo group,
Who've fought and bled, but now they
whoop
Because they feel the struggles DER
And peace and plenty comes galore.
For years they struggled with all
might
For what they knew to be their right:
And now that since the race s won
We greet our neighbors with "Well
donei"
We're ready now to laugh and talk
And bury deep the tomahawk
With which we had to slash and hack
To hold our own this side the track.
Let bygones be forever lost;
Let those who were, no more be
bossed. ~
Come join this busy, happy throng,
And help to boost our town along.
We feel the same instinct over
here but since our poetical ability Is
sadly dwarfed we can only Jingle bacl
In this manner, says the Spokesman:
We've lost our Lilo pal at last.
We loved her dearly in the past;
But now Nezperce has won our friend
And Heaven knows how 1t win end.
II Nee would only det her be
Wed live here in such harmony.
But that condition isn't so,
For which we've had to let her go.
No longer for her hand we'll try,
Because she likes the other guy.
Well let them live alone and fight
Out there beyond the warehouse site.

CANNOT HARmoNIze THAT WAY.

Bro. O'Donnell possibly had been
meditating upon the 58th chapter OF
Isaiah, which begins: Cry aloud,
spare not; lift up thy voice Ike
trumpet, and show my people their
transgressions," when he wrote MS
editorial last week on harmony. But
whether he had or nhad not. he made
an excellent preachment from the text
We quote a couple of paragraphs
from same as follows:
When a newspaper attempts TO
right wrongs within the party to
which it adheres the cry goes up
from subsidized scribblers OF insol-
vent sheets, as we'll curbstone poll
ticians and foxy office hunters, that
the party is being injured. 1t appears
that all they want is harmony. That
will do the business. The word
harmony, used in a political sense, is
becoming repulsive.
For the sake of harmony this pa
per, and other papers with sufficlent
courage to point out the defects In
the republican party machinery in
Idaho, are supposed to forget what
happened in Boise last winter. NOT
much. The Mountaineer is going to
blaze a trail which will be followed
by whole lot of people, and instead
of harmony" the slogan will be "a
square deal" The next primary cleo
ton will have surprises galore Tor
some north Idaho politicians, and the
people will be kept posted on what Is
going on among the harmony bunch
led by men who. like the ostrich
think they can hide out by getting
their heads under cover.

MILLION FOR "sPLiT LOG DRAG
ROADS.

Spokesman Review: Washington
has 39.062 miles of highways, and
26,677 of them are unimproved roads
of earth. Nothing that bears on
the proper maintenance and constant
Improvement of these Is without In
terest or value to the farmer and the
tax payer. Highway Commissioner
Roberts has therefore done a great
service to the entire commonwealth
in having s. p. Davis of Olga tell
how the continuance of roads of gray
ell or dirt In the best condition may
be heightened through judicious use
of the split log drag. Highway De-
partment. Bulletin FOUR
The purpose of the drag is to pre-
pare the highway to withstand rains
This object is achieved through pud-
ding the soil, smoothing the surface,
rejecting the humus and increasing
evaporation. The true tool to use Is
not a drag of steel or other heavy
material, but light split log drag
Of dried red ceder, red elm or walnut,
even of dried box-elder. soft maple or
willow. The method consists in NOV
ing only small quantity. of earth
at a time and using the drag ever
lastingly.
The successes achieved In building
good roads In the central west thru
using the split log drag have been
amazing. The highway departments
of many states have published much
literature on the advantages of this
method. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has thought 1t
we'll worth while to put forth a spe-
ciai bullitin CPD for free distribu-
ton that informs as to the making
of split log drag. These states, GOV.
redng broad range Of climate and
geological conditions, have found the
use of the drag so helpful that Iowa
this year is expending $1,700,0 900 fol
the use Of It alone.
1t ds frequently objected that In
western Washington the use OF the
drag Ia not feasible, because the rains
there are SO heavy. But in Island. Sal
Juan, Skagit ad Whatcom countie,
reports of good results from using thu
drag is most encouraging. In east
ern Washington that objection cal
not hold water. and in Spokane coup
ty the same advantages have occurred
as in the coast counties.
Wherever properly made spill
log drag has been intelligently uses
1t has been benifit to the farme
and his roads and a blessing to thu
taxpayer.

DE cULLED GE'lMEN IN DE

Caldwell Tribune: The general opin
tive Burton l.. French was really re-
sponsible for the defeat of Judge
James F. Ailshie, The Latah county
delegation refused to support Judge
Ailshie and Congressman French re-
fused to raise a finger in support of
a north Idaho man and especially
the leading candidate. Readers OF
the Tribune will remember that i'm
mediately after the election We point
ed out the position taken by Con
gresham French and also his reason
for his actions at that time. 1t was
simply a matter of politics with
French. He did not care who .epre-
scented Idaho in the senate during the
next two years SO long as he was
not a north Idaho man of ability and
popularity. Judge Ailshie was the mar
to be feared two years hence as he is
just as popular as Mr.. French and a
great deal ADLER. At the next pri-
mary election Mr.. French will be a
candidate for the senate. H, will
base his claims on the fact that he
Is from the north although at the last
legislature the claims of north Idaho
were of indifference to him. 1t was
shrewd politics, but does not show a
very high regard for his section OF
