IpAHo's PROPOSED NuPTIAL LAW
While 1t Is a Good One There Is Little
Chance of 1t Passing.

Boise, Idaho.-Representa G. F
Koelsch of Ada county has introduced
in the house a bill regulating mar
riages, which is attracting widespread
attention.
The Koelsch bill provides that in all
cases the marriage license will not be
granted until Is days after the appli-
cation is made with the recorder, and
that during that time the recorder
must advertise the application in at
least two issues of a newspaper. Also
the applicants for marriage must pro
duce the certificate of physician that
they are not idiotic, insane. or ad-
dicted to the use of drugs, or the ex-
cessive use of liquor, or that they are
not afflicted with any contagious dis
eases.
Another provision of the law is the
raising of the age limit of males to q
years. Heretofore, the law has been
that any person, male or female, over
is could secure a license. Under this
law the female limit remains at Is
years.
Persons under this age limit instead
of simply coming with the parents
consent, as heretofore, must now e
before the probate judge of the count.
and present their request.

the part implements play in assisting
The farmer. We must also remember
that the price of farm machinery has
not advanced in proportion to farm
products and farm labor. The aggre-
gate saving to the farmer on account
of improved implements represents
large per cent of his net profits.
During the year 1900, implements
saved in human labor $6S2,000, 900.
Last year the American farmer bought
$100,000,000 worth of machinery, but
it saved for him in labor more than
$SOO,000,000.
AS necessity demands it, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that new inven-
tons will further increase the produc-
ton of the farm and decrease the
cost.
The benefits from narrowing grow
ing crops, forming mulches and sur
face cultivation should be presented
from a scientific standpoint. The
value of good seed, when to gather it
and how to care for it, how deep to
plow, what crops are best adapted to
certain localities, are all essential
features of better farming and are so
apparent when rational explanation
is presented that the farmer will be-
come interested, feeling that good
argument in favor of the various feat
ures has been presented.
A scientific explanation of the prin-
ciples of crop rotation, the value OF
barnyard manure when evenly dis
tributed, should be known by the
traveller and the dealer.
The value of deep blowing, when to
plow and how the furrow should be
turned are questions not to be over
looked.
The benefits of stock breeding and
the value of a balanced ration and
how to grow the rations are matters
of great Importance to the farmer, and
no one is in better position to be-
come the farmers teacher and guide
than the man who sells the nipple
ment.

INTERESTING RAIslN FACTS.
Nearly 12o,ooo,ooo Pounds Produced
AnnuaIly-Caifornia Leads.

The production of raisins is approx
imately 12O.0Oo00O pounds annually,
and is one of the staple fruit crops
Of our greatest fruit growing state,
California. Nearly all of the raisins
consumed in the United States and
other countries come from Southern
California, where in the sunny in
terror valleys the raisin grape attains
perfection.
The white grapes, which include the
Muscat, Thompson Seedless and Sui
tana varieties, are dried by the sun
and then known as raisins. Muscat
grapes when ready to dry for raisins
are much the same in shape, color and
favor as the fresh Malaga grapes on
sale at every fruit stand. The Sultana
is of about the same color, only a
trifle more brownish when ready to
pick. The Thompson Seedless is a
white grape also, but when thoroughly
ripe it attains a golden-green color.
Sultana and Thompson Seedless diff
fer from each other in flavor: the Sui
tana has tart flavor, similar to that
of the currant; the Thompson Seed
less is sweeter, being more like the
Seedless Muscatel. The Sultana grows
in tight, compact bunch and the Der.
ries are quite round, while the Thomp-
son Seedless is a much looser bunch
and the berry is longer than the berry
Of the Seedless Sultana.
Choice and seeded raisins, clusters
and loose Muscatels are cured Muscat
grapes. Seedless Muscatels are the
small Muscat grapes at the end of the
bunch which have not fully matured
Thompson Seedless are really the
same thing as the Turkish Sultana
California Sultanas are very similar tC
the so-called Zante currant; the Mus
cat is the same as the Spanish raisiI
grape grown in Malaga, Spain. The
only difference between the Spanish
and the California raisins is due tt
the different methods of curing, th'
quality of the soil and the age of thu
i vines.
A number of varieties of vim
grapes are cured for raisins, but whel
sold to the trade they are called drie'
, grapes. California dried grapes ar
! blue grapes, either the Rose of Peru
, which is a table grape, zinfandels o
Mission grapes. These have a fin
) flavor and they make a very mic
: cheap dried fruit for sauces and pies
!, They are also used in the making Q
: wines.
t 1t might be interesting to know tina
one of the largest vineyards in Cal
! fornia is owned and operated by
! woman, Mrs. Mowat, near Fresno. Sh
I also operates a large packing an
! seeding plant from which she market
e her own raisins and those of man
E of her neighbors under the name

James H. Wallis, food and sanitary
inspector of the state Of Idaho, in a
bulletin issued on the sale of undrawn
poultry, says:
The sale of undrawn poultry Il. e.,
poultry containing the entrails or in
testines) is forbidden under the food
laws of Idaho, which prohibit the sale
of "Any part of an animal unfit for
food" The following sections of the
law cover the same, as constructed
by this department:
"An article of food shall be deemed
to be adulterated if it consists in
whole or in part of a diseased, filthy
decomposed, infected, tainted, putrid
or rotten animal or vegetable sub
stance or substances: Or any part OF
portion of an animal diseased or 9th
erwise unfit for food.
1T shall be unlawful for any per
son OF persons, corporation or corpo
rations to sell or offer for sale the
meat of any cattle, sheep, swine, fish
game. fowl, or poultry which is blown
tainted, heated, soured, raised, stuffed
putrid or impure, or which, for othel
reason, is unfit for human food"
The possession of any food, the salt
of which is forbidden by law, is prim;
facie evidence that it is for sale.
This bulletin is mailed to dealers 81
that they may not violate the law
Prosecutions will be instituted agains
any and all persons found so doing.

Lard and Cured Meats.-With the
exception of a slight decline in local
lard this commodity remains UNI
changed. Quotations, however, are
weak at the present level and de-
cline may be expected at any time.
Prices on both local and eastern cured
meats are unchanged.
Hides and Wool.-Although bust
ness in this line is not rushing, a
marked improvement is shown over
the same period for last year. Some
dealers report that the general kill in
the Northwest has been Is per cent
better than that for last season. Quo
tations on wool are weak, while those
on hides are steady.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples.-The local situation as yet
has shown no improvement. Apples
and oranges, however, are very close
competitors and dealers believe that
the loss of orange crops in California
will soon produce it's effect on the
apple market. At Chicago this week
apples were dull.
Lemons.-On account of the freeze
in California lemons have taken a
jump the decline of last week has
more than recovered. Fancy lemons
are now quoted at 5000 and choice at
$3.50.
Oranges.-The market has been in
fluenced by the same cause that forced
lemons up, the crop disaster in the
orange and lemon belt of California.
Navels are now quoted at from $500
to $3.50 and are holding firm at the
present level.
Other Fruits.-Quotation show no
change over those of last week. The
market is steady and business some
what dull incident to this season OF
the year.
Potatoes.-The market is still wab-
bly, at the knees, and local quotations
remain unchanged. The probability
is, however, that with the coming OF
the spring months the demand for
seed will put a better complexion on
the situation. At Chicago receipts
were heavy and the demand slow.
Celery.-Both local and California
celery has taken an advance. The To-
cal variety is now quoted at rs cents
and the southern variety at $1.00
This advance is due to the freeze in
the south, which damaged this prod
uct as well as the orange and lemon
crops.
Other egetables.-Witht the excer
ton of an advance in cauiihower, 9th
er quotations remain the same. Bust
ness in general is fair and prices arc
steady.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-For the last three or foul
weeks wheat has been gradually
climbing up and quotations on al
grades show an advance over las
week. Since the market started t,
climb owners seem to be holding of
Flour-Although no advance is re
ported over last week, the market i
firm in sympathy with wheat. Deal
ers expect advances daily. Although
export business has been fair the vo
ume has not been great on accoun
of inadequate facilities for transports
ton.
Feed.-Quotations on several kind
of feed have taken advances an
prices are firm at the present leve
When the feed crops were first gail
cred farmers sold freely, everybod
seemed to be putting stock on tn
market at once; consequently there
now a shortage of supplies in loci
. sources.

OHIO RIVER DAMAGES CROPS

Thousands of Bushels Of Corn Are De-
stroyed.
Golconda, Ill.-The rise of the Ohio
river is causing damage to live stock
and crops. Thousands of bushels Of
corn have been destroyed and many
hogs and cattle have been drowned.
At Cairo, ILL.,, thousands of acres Of
farming land were flooded Saturday
when the Ohio river went to 45.5 feet,
half a foot over the danger mark.

Frankfort, Ky.-Approximately $500
persons, driven from their homes in
the vicinity of Ashbyberg, KY, by
floods at the juncture of the Pond and
Green rivers were marooned on a hill
near the town. The governor has or
dered tents and blankets sent to the
refugees.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions.

TfONtStSios
Butter-The local situation shows
no change over that of last week.
Quotations remain firm at the present
level and the volume of business be-
ing done is good. At New York the
market was dull and quotations weak.
Cheese.-No change is noted in the
local situation. Prices are still strong
in sympathy with those of butter, and
business continues satisfactory.
REORGANIZATION have taken an
advance during the last week. This
is due to the fact that locked trans
portation from the east has delayed
shipments of storage eggs and the
supplies on hand are showing signs OF
depletion. Cold weather is also pro-
ducing it's effect on local production.
At New York the market was strong
er and business fairly active. At Chi
cago practically the same situation
prevailed.
Poultry.-Cold weather is shutting
off supplies of chickens, and very few
are being brought to market. This
has forced prices to take an advance.
After the SHOWS thaw it is quite prob
able that a great deal will be thrown
on the market at once and prices
forced down. Quotations on ducks
and on geese remain unchanged.
Fresh Meats.-Quotations in this de
partment remain the same as those
of last week. Hogs are quite plenti
full, while beef continues scarce, due
to owners holding off in expectation
| of higher prices.

FARM DEMONSTRATORS BEING
 THOROUGHLY PREPARED

The great scheme of taking the De partment of Agriculture to the people is being carefully planned. For sev eraI weeks the 150 farm demonstrators -or experts-who are to go out into every section of the country, to help improve agricultural conditions, have been thoroughly drilled in their work The immediate success of this field work in the South has been responsi ble for extending it throughout the country, but painstaking old "Tama Jim" Wilson has positively decreed that the demonstrators must be drill. ed and thoroughly prepared before go. ing into the different sections of tue country. The corn club boys are just now hobnobbing with the agricultural department demonstrators and other officials, and experience meetings are decidedly popular.

MEN WITH NERVE
 BLAzED TIE TRAIL

Washington, as Roosevelt kicked them out?
 Frankly speaking, The Examiner be- lieves he will, and if he does he win make his administration historical, ranking with that of Jefferson, of Jackson, of Lincoln and of Roosevelt. He will make himself world influenc- ing character, True, by being abso- lutely faithful to what are evidently his personal ideals, he cannot fail to wreck the Democratic party, even as Roosevelt has wrecked the Republican party; but, in so doing, he will place himself scdarely in line with the evolu- ton of the nation, faithful steward of the trust imposed upon him by the God of nations through the people, the inevitable choice of the Progressives for a second term in 1916.

NOW LISTEN FOR HoWLS FROM
 WASHINGTON

President-elect Wilson has made a personal request of the chairman of the inauguration committee, asking him to consider the feasibility of omit ting the inaugural ball. He rightly says that by it large expense is in- flicted upon the government. The business of the pension bureau, in the building of which the inaugural balls customarily are held, is greatly retard- ed, through the incidental suspension of work
 The chairman cf '',e inaugural com mittee evidences purpose to comply with the wishes of the president-elect, and nothing remains now but for the country to settle back and listen for long, loud howls from Washington sub scribers to the fund for inauguration day expenses.
 Various Washingtonians have earn ed, cheaply enough, a fine reputation for generosity, by making lavish con- tributions to that fund. But it has not so generally been known that the con- tributors usually have been reiDlburs, ed in full from the receipts derived from the sale of tickets to the ball. Anybody who had the price and could rent appropriate clothing could buy ad- mission to that function, and the fool fsh vanity of gullible visitors who were willing to be bled was so great that the inaugural ball invariably paid hand some profit.
 Thus Washington ate its cake and kept it, too, the while it made its visf- tors pay for the materials and the cost of baking.-Los Angeles Tribune.

TUSCON MASONS DECIDE ID REPAIR OLD
 BUILDING
TUCSON LODGE WILL BEGIN THE WORK OF REPAIRING DAM
 AGE CAUSED BY FIRE

TUCSON, Jan. 27-The building committee of the Masens has decided to repair the building at Congress street and Stone avenue which was burned Sunday a week ago. Repairs will start immediately and will be sup plemented by fire walls between the separate stores.
 Decision to repair was reached when it was found that the insurance would not be sufficient to materially reduce the mortgage of $35,000 on the lot. The Masons have paid only $35,000 of the total purchase price so far.
 The committee was advised that a concrete building would cost $125,O0O or more and realized that it would be difficult to borrow the money unless the lots were paid for.

 The Arizona Tax Commission has decided that no longer must the plain requirement. of the law be disregarded in the matter of placing all property on the roll at it's full cash value.

"MlNoR DIFFERENCES NOTED

Chairman Underwood, the tariff Pooh Bah, says that 'in the recent hearings we have noted, from time to time, minor differences in the conclu, sions of the majority members" The chairman goes on to explain the aim of the new tariff legislation which is to remove the present tariff noun tain" and ito build in it's place a wall only so high as to provide for the intake of sufficient tax imports to pro
 vide adequate revenue" The plan is to soak it to the luxuries," as one expressive statesman puts it, and to "slow down on the necessities. In the meantime the different sections of the country are showing their interest in the proposed revision, and Massa- chusetts Democrats want protection for shoes, while Ohio does not; but the latter state is enthusiastic for protection for wool Thus it is, that in the desire of different sections of the country to have their particular interests protected, that the minor differences" are beginning to show up.

authority of W. P. Willett, recogniz ed as the foremost sugar expert of the country, that the competition afford ed by the product of the American sugar beet farmers, against the Sugar Trust and it's fellow refiners, has say ed the consuming public a cent a pound on all it's sugar this year, and insures a permanent cheap supply of this commodity if the domestic indus try is permitted to continue the re. markable growth which it has enjoy ed during the past dozen years
 It is admitted by both the refiners and the advocates of the beet sugar industry that any considerable reduc- tion of the present duty would put an end to the manufacture of sugar from American grown beets on account of the higher cost of raw material and labor in this country.
 The problem before the Democratic leaders, therefore, is to decide wheth. CT they shall throw the control of the sugar supply into the hands of the refiners or protect the producers and consumers of the country by maintain ing the duty at or near it's present level.

RAILWAY BUSINESS FOR NoVEM
 BIER

The high tide of business in the United States continues to be reflect ed in the railway statistics compiled by the Bureau of Railway Economies from the reports of the railways to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 The returns for last November show an increase over November of the pre- vious year, but do not maintain the ratio of increase displayed by the month of October; while operating revenues increased $122 per mile of line for the month, operating expenses increased STA, and net revenue only $4S.33. Taxes were greater than for the previous November, amounting to $46 per mile of line. @Operating income averaged s12.13 per mile of line for each day in November, an amount greater by $1.63 than for November, 1911. This is the entire amount avail. able to the railways for rentals, inter- est on bonds, appropriations, and divi- dends.
 For the five months of the fiscal year, the net operating revenue per mile of line of the Eastern railways, compared with the corresponding months of the previous year, increased :s.S per cent; that of the Western rail ways increased 15.S per cent, while that of the railways of the South in- creased less than one-tenth of l per cent
 For the eleven months of the calen- dar year the net operating revenue Del mile of line of the Eastern railways compared with the corresponding months of the previous year, increased AS per cent, while that of the railways of the South shows a decrease of 4.5 per cent.
