Labor Day Proclamation.

In accordance with established
custom, l have the honor to Invite
public attention to the fact that
under the laws Of our state the first
Monday 10 September has been desig.
mated and set apart as public hull.
day to be known as Labor Day.
This is a day in whose fitting nb.
servance and celebration all our citi-
zens. without regard to class ar walk
10 life, should heartily join. All our
progress and prosperity. ali our
growth and development depend pri-
marily upon labor, and it is duty.
as it should be pleasure, for us all
to pay fitting tribute to The dignity
OF honest toll. 1t Is, therefore, my
earnest request that on Monday, the
first day Of September. 1913, all work
and business shall. so far as possib Bile,
be laid aside and the day be given un.
reservedly to the purpose for which it
has been set apart by law.
Dated, Boise, Idaho, Aug. 6, 1918.

Boise Statesman: The gallant
United States frigate, Santee, SO
prominently connected with our early
naval victories, has been consigned to
the junkpile. Her work is done; she
must pass. We recall her gallant
work in the war OF 1912, and also 10
the civil war. With the old ship, the
Constitution, she divided popular
favor as a relic of the naval warfare
between this country and Great Brit
ian. For years she was training
ship and then prison ship after her
days OF usefulness as a training ship
were over, she was towed into the
Delaware breakwater last week with
six feet Of water in her bold. She
was sold some time ago to Phila
delpha firm to be broken up for the
copper that is 10 her hull, which
copper, it is said, contains Is per
cent OF gold. Thus the iconoclastic
hand Of our material age strikes out
the landmarks of the past and with
them much that should be left to
linger long as precious memory and
legacy. Oliver Wendell Holmes saved
the Constitution from a similar fate
by his poem. HAye, tear her tatLered
ensign down." When it was written
it went through the papers like a
bugle call, and was printed in leaflets
and scattered through the streets of
Philadelphia. This had the effect OF
arouslng such storm of opposition
that the plan TO destroy it was
abandoned. Twice since then the
Constitution has been marked out for
destruction but the large number OF
petitions sent to the authorities saved
the historic ship for the present and
for future generations. But we have
no Oliver Wendell Holmes to protest
In thrilling rhyme against the de.
struction of the Santee, as noble and
historic ship as the Constitution.

In Texas It Is unlawful for a man
to get drunk except in his own home.
In Idaho man can get drunk any
old place and there Is no law by
which he can be punished. In fact,
law in Idaho doesn't amount to much
anyway. Banklooters, horsethieyes
and other kinds OF thieves are par
doned before they get accustomed tc
prison fare, and several men who
committed cold booded murders IN
this state, some OF them from Idaho
county. walked out of the peniten-
tiary after serving brief periods OF
sentences ranging from ten years To
life Imprisonment. Why the state
board OF pardons persists in doing
this sort OF work is hard To under
stand. And the iDdeterminate sen.
tence Is a hoax. Why sentence a
criminal say for from to 10 years?
II he Is deserving OF a ten years term
give it to him; II only one year, let IL
go at that. The fact OF the matter
is the laws Of today are not feared by
the low and the vicious, and it is
little wonder that the daily press is
full pf stories Of heinous crimes.

Surveys Reservation Roads.

County Surveyor A. O. Modlir
returned recently from an extend
ed trip to the south end of the
county, where, for several weeks
he has been engaged with a force
OF deputies in locating and survey
ing an extensive System Of roads
through the Coeur d'Alene Indian
reservation.
Beginning at. old Sanders, on
the eastern boundary OF the reser-
walton, and connecting with the
old stage road from Santa and
Emida, the main trunk road of the
whole system follows Hangman
Creek valley in a northwesterly
direction for distance of about
seventeen miles to the Idaho
Washington line, where it con-
meets with a new and improved
road leading into Tekoa, Wash,
three miles from the state line. A
branch road leads in a westerly di.
rection from the town of Tensed,
climbing low range of mountains
and connecting with a new road
built to the Idaho line from the
vicinity of Oakesdale and Seltice.
From this main branch there is
also a sub-branch through a low
pass in the mountains, where it
connects with road leading di-
rectly into Pennington, Wash.
From a. point on the Idaho side
about four miles from the state
line there is another branch lead
ing in a northerly and easterly
direction up Lolo creek and
through Lolo pass, where it con-
meets with road heretofore sur
yeyed up Benewah creek from the
St. Joe river at Silver Tip landing.
From this road along Benewah
creek road is soon to be surveyed
in a southeasterly direction for
some three or four miles to a point
where it will connect with a road
already surveyed and partly built
to the town of St. Maries.

When competitive target practice
begins, the commanding officer of the
regiment must be reckoned with.
Colonel Edelbiute demonstrated that
fact Tuesday when he shot % out OF
a possible 25 on the 500-yard range.
The colonel is recognized as an ex-
cellent marksman. He has attended
a number of state encampments, and
his record on the range has always
been worthy OF note. Competition
with the rifle is keen among the offii-
GERS, and friendship will for the time
being cease when they go on the
range.-Statesman.

PEACE is LOCKED FOR
Secretary Bryan Busy Lecturing.-
The Currency Bill.
The Tribune Bureau.
BY j. T.. JONES

BY j. e. JONES
Washington, D. c., August IS.
. by the votes taken upon the
sugar schedule and other features
OF the tariff bill it is plain that the
administration plan will 60 through
without hitch, and the Under.
wood bill will become a law with
in few weeks.
Perhaps at no time in the history
OF the country has there been such
wonderful display Of patience as
that exercised in the case of Mexi-
CO. When the news came to
Washington that Huerta had re.
lected mediation, and had again
insulted the American government,
an effectual muzzle was put upon
every. form of expression from
public officials. With the patience
born of schoolmaster, President
Wilson has gone straight ahead in
carrying out his policy of peace
J tor Mexico, and the good natured
Bryan has been on the Job night
and day, disarming critics who be-
grudged him a vacation during
which he might make little money
giving Chatauqua lectures. John
Lind, down in Mexico City, has
proven a mighty good customer
Tor the telegraph companies, and
has sent as high as 1000 words in
single report Of the situation.
While part Of the Mexican peo-
pie are ready to go to war with the
United States, there is not the
least inclination in the capita, to
indulge in the pastime OF spanking
Huerta and his excitable herd.
Secretary Bryan has been "lec-
turing" hard, making up for lost
time, and it is very apparent that
the criticism aimed at him because
OF his statement that he could not
live on SI2, 900 a year, has made
him very sensitive. In the course
OF his statement he declared that
he would be glad to give up all
other places in life to perform the
duties attending upon his position
as secretary of state.
President Wilson has secured
what amounts to pledge from
the leaders of the house and senate
that the currency bill will be
passed at this session of congress.
Senator Hamilton Lewis pro-
posed recess for several we. ks
before the currency legislation
should be considered. Senator
| O'Gorman of New York and Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska favored
this course, but among the sena-
tors considering the subject prac-
tically all were in favor Of legisla-
tion before adjournment.
The bankers OF the country have
been here to participate in the
distribution of the $50, ooo, 900
government deposits to be dis
tributed in the grain growing
states. President Wilson told the
bankers that McAdoo's plan "is
singular in being original" And
he added, ''it is such a good thing
that one would have supposed it
would have occurred to somebody
sooner" The western bankers
delegated to Stoddard Jess of Los
Angeles, the position of spokes-
man, and he assured the President
and Mr.. McAdoo, of the hearty
sympathy Of bankers in the plan.

reclamation projects started ia tn,
west until projects now under wal
are completed, If the advice and urg-
Ing of Secretary OF the Interior Lane
counts for anything. At a meeting
with water users at Rupert last Fri.
DAY, the secretary made it plain that
ne was opposed to appropriations for
new reclamation enterprises, until
those already undertaken are carried
70 successful completion. In line
with this desire, the secretary is
heartily 10 favor of the issuance of
government bonds to complete the
existing projects, and will work in
harmony with Senators Borah, Brady
and other western men in congress
along that line.
1t Is reported that the entire prune
crop of the territory about Weiser,
consisting Of about Is carloads, has
been sold at prices much in advance
of those Of last year, Secretary Ly-
man B, Miller of the Weiser River
Fruit association reports the sale of
the entire output Of the organization,
consisting of approximately Is cars.
Only II cars were actually contracted
for the reason that the organization
refused to agree to deliver more than
they might possibly have but in the
event there are more than the IL cars
the balance will 60 at the same price
OF IS cents crate or $3.50 car.
This is bona flde deal lnasmuch as
a deposit of s10O car has been re-
ceived. The work of preparing the
fruit for shipment has already begun
and will be completed within the
next two weeks.
Secretary of the Interior Lane, who
passed through Pocatello last Friday
night, announced that he has can
celled the contract of the Monida s.
Yellowstone stage company, which
operated through the national park
from the western or Yellowstone en-.
trance. The revocation of the con.
tract is to take effect Sept. 16. The
ruling marks the passing of f. J.
Haynes, St. Paul promoter, who
from a shoestring started 10 the stage
coach business in the park, built his
system up 10 six years until his com.
pany was hauling as many tourists as
the old established Yellowstone Park
company, which is
operated by Fl. G. Child s of Helena.
Montana. The Monida company was
charged with and convicted of violat-
ing its contract with the government
by giving rebate of SO many dollars
on each tourist to the Oregon Short
Line railway in the transportation of
visitors through Yellowstone park.
Secretary Lane, who investigated the
charges on his recent visit to Mon
tana and the park, is casting about
for new contractor to handle the
stage business of the Monida com.

State Board Lowers Valuations.

!! Contrary to expectations. the star
board of equalization has refused t,
disturb the agricultural land assess
ment this year In Bannock county.
The board has ordered this class 0
property raised 10 per cent IN Canyor
county, and 25 per cent in Lincolr
and Oneida. All the other countie,
excepting Ada, Bannock, Bear Lake
kootenai and GoodIng, were lowered
10 per cent.
Last year Bannock reported 58,7lt
acres of farm land, which was listed
at $49.93 per acre. This year the
county assessor listed 245,55 acres
and valued 1t at $22.2O per acre.
This assessment the state board bias
allowed to stand.
After an all day session the state
board of equalization fyed the valua
lions on agricultural lands for the
present year. This action does not
affect the grazing, waste. timber aud
cut-over lapds. These are still to be
eQualized. In the classification there
were 3, ,43l 460 acres as returned by
the county auditors, and these acres
were assessed Ia the various counties
at 1924, ,657 ,528, or an average value
OF $36. 33 an acre, BY action OF the
state board OF equalization this total
valuation for the state was reduced
approximately SIS, 200. 900.
Ada county values on land are far
10 excess Of all other counties. 1t is
practically double the value Of the
next on the list and practically three
times that Of the average value for
the state.
1t seems that in arriving at its
final conclusion on the value OF farm
lands the state board of equalIzation
brushed aside the recon,me dations
OF the tax commissions. Practically
every assessor Ia the state was present t
at the meeting while the m after was
under consideration, and there was An
abundant OF cross firing with refer
ence to values In the different coun.
ties. Assessor Kincaid Of Ada county
considered 1t extremely unfair to
place a value of $98. 10 an acre on the
farul lands 10 Ada county and value
OF but $52.7l on the farm lands of
Canyon. At the same time he argues
that II would be unfair to the tax
payers 10 Boise to lower the valuation
on the farm lands without making a
corresponding cut on town property.

MARKET IS STRONG
AT CLOSING HOUR
Wave of Buying Orders Sweeps
Bears Off Their
Feet.

NEW YORK, June PA vigorous
demonstration against the bears was
made at the opening today and prices
rose strongly. Buying of steel was
the feature, 5000 shares changing
hands on the first transaction at so
to 501z, a maximum rise of ". On
purchases of large blocks the price
was quickly raised to a point above
yesterdays close.
II a. m.-Speculators were impressed
by the quality of the buying. and
although there was a slight halt to
enable the market to digest the real
izing sales prompted by the initial
advance, the market soon went up
ward again with a rush.
Noon.-The strong tone of the
morning trading was associated di-
rectly with Secretary McAdoo's an
nouncement that he would sanction
the issuance of emergency currency.
The secretary's action was regarded
as reassuring by bull operators, who
took hold of stocks with enthusiasm
and drove the bears to cover.
D. m.-Southern Pacific mounted
rapidly on the proposal TO exchange
Union Pacific's holdings Of Southern
Pacific for Pennsylvania interest in
Baltimore and Ohio.
2 p. m.-Brsk buying of Union Pa
ciffc resulted from the favorable re-
ception in the street of its proposition
to turn over a portion of its South
ern Pacific holdings to Pennsylvania
and the rise in the stock reached five
points.
3 p. m.-The market closed strong.
An irresistible wave Of buying orders
late in the day carried up prices in
a way that swept the bears off their
feet. Buying to cover by the shorts
and investment purchases kept the
market on the upgrade.
