1T SHOULD BE so USED

The editor of the Richfield
Recorder who has lived in Cen
trail Idaho and should therefore
know something of what he is
talking, after commencing the
creation of the new state high
way commission with 100000
appropriation at its command
for the improvement of the state
roads, says:
THAT is enough to make a
start, and to show where and how
future work can best be done.
If the state could open up
the way to the vast, rich ore de-
posts of Central Idaho, they
would develop so as to make the
whole state prosperous. Good
wagon roads should encourage
enough development to cause a
railroad to build in there; and
that would bring prosperity to
everybody. Neither the agricul-
tural nor the mining nor the tim
Der interests in the isolated see
ton can pay directly for roads
necessary to develop themselves
but, once opened up by state aid,
they will be great revenue pro-
ducers. 1t is a wise business pol
icy to spend this much money, OF
ten or one hundred times as much
to develop Idaho resources OF
these and other kinds

WHAT HAS BECOME OF
THE EXPOSURE?

caldwell Tribune: The editor
of the Moscow Post was mem
Der Of the last Legislature. He
was in the senate. Toward the
close of the legislature the Post
promised It's readers some very
interesting reading along the line
of an exposure of the ways of the
Idaho legislature. Since the adj
journment of the legislature the
Post has been publishing a series
of articles no the legislature. The
data are supposed to be taken
from diary kept by the Latah
county senator. The Tribune has
kept close tab on the diary as
published but to date has not ex-
perienced a single, solitary thrill
let alone any great excitment. We
expected to see graft and corrup-
ton exposed. We thought that
some new light was to be shed up
on the ways OF the legislature.
Not new thing came to light.
The Post fluked. 1t didn't have
the goods or is afraid to give
them to the public. The first ar
ticle contained the brilliant re-
marks of a southeastern member
of the legislature who voted for
the colored janitor of the state
house for United States senator.
These remarks had already ap-
peared in half the papers of Idaho
several weeks before they were
published in the Moscow paper.
The other articles were dribbling,
trifling affairs, the purport of
which was that support for one
measure was traded for support
for another and that Senator John
w. Hart was a powerful man IN
the legislature. AS the people OF
Idaho have known for at least
twenty years that measures are
traded upon in the Legislature and
that the Latah county delegation
was already for barter; and fur
ther that John w. Hart is some
man wherever he is; they cannot
he expected to get very excited
over getting the news" at this
time.
AS a matter of fact Senator
Fields came down to Boise with
the idea of raising the very die
kens. He was going to Sc the
world on fire. The legislature
did not care for any pyrotechnlc
displays, having more serious bus
mess to attend to, and gracefully
sat down upon him. He was
squelched in the beginning and
nursed a crouch throughout the
session. He imagined that he had
something on somebody or other
but when it came to putting his
finger either on the thing or the
person he could not do so. After
vain effort he abandoned the
enterprise. He is now sensibly
devoting the space formerly util
lied for the exposure in publish
ing* the laws enacted. He is
again become the sane, sensible
man of affairs that he usually is.

At last they were all gone. but their chief still remained sitting mOtiOnless in digni-, fled silence in his palaquin in the mid dle of the room The ball began to thin, and the attention of those who remained was wholly drawn to the silent figure of the Chinese mask.
 The master of the house at length went up to him and told him that his companions were all gone: politely beg ging him at the same time to take off his mask, that he and his guests might know to whom they were indebted for all the plea sure which the exhibition had afforded them. The Chinaman, however. gave no reply by word or sign, and d feeling of uneasy curiosity gradually drew around him the guests
 who remained in the ballroom. He still took no notice of all that was passing around him. and the master of the house at length. with his own hand. took off the mask; and discovered to the mortified bystanders the face of | corpse.

FORMATION OF COAL DEPOSITS
