DECLARE FOR
STATE RIGHTS
Western Governors Would
Run Thinge Their
Own Way.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June T.
With the adoption of declaration
of principles and the selection of Of
ficers and the next meeting place,
the conference of western governors
came to an end here this afternoon.
The declaration of principles which
was presented by Governor Spry, al
though adopted unanimously, was con-
sidered victory for the radical ele-
ment. 1t expressed the belief that
jurisdiction of the states should ex-
tend to all their territory, taxing pow
er to all their lands, and their 20
litical power and influence be thereby
secured"
At Denver Next Year.
The governors decided to convene
next year at Denver. Governor Car
ey of Wyoming and Governor Am
mons of Colorado were elected presi-
dent and secretary, respectively, for
the year. Governor Carey had been
elected president previously to pre-
side at the conference here
The statement of what the govern
ors believed should be the policy of
the national government was in part
as follows
THAT as rapidly as possible the
states become prepared to take over
tho uarE of concentration ora 49, so5
eral government withdraw it's bur
eaus from the field. The permanent
withdrawal OF any lands from entry
and sale, we believe contrary to the
spirit of the ordinance of 1887 and
We urge that such lands be returned
to entry.
Charge DiIatory Action.
"Dilatory action on the part OF the
executive departments of the gov
ernment in passing title to purchas-
ers of public lands is unfair to the
states, as 1t permits purchasers to
occupy lands indefinitely without pay
ing taxes.
homestead entry within forest re-
serves should be permitted in the
same manner as on unreserved lands,
subject to protests where lands Sc
lected are heavily timbered. That
the government grant to the public
lands 5 per cent of the remaining
lands to the state for school lands,
and for the purpose of building public
highways.
THAT mineral lands now withheld
from entry or classified at prohibi-
tive prices, be reopened at nominal
prices"
The resolutions expressed apprecia-
tion of the work done by the depart
ments at Washington in cooperation
with the several states in experiment
tation and instruction.

MORE DOPE ON
R'Y EXTENSION
Rumor Has 1t That Hill Has
Bought the P. & |. N.
Road.

New Meadows, ldaho.-lt is cur
renty reported here that the Hill in
terests will take over the P. & l. N.
railroad inside of six weeks.
Some color is lent the report by
statement credited to Colonel Heigho,
general manager of the p. & l. N,
that he might resign by July Is.
No official confirmation is obtain
able.
The Meadows Eagle says word has
been dropped, presumably by some
one connected with the project, that
it is quite probable the Oregon Short
Line Railroad will extend it's road to
the timber holdings of A. w. Cook
and the Payette Lumber company in
Meadows Valley. Thence down the
Little Salmon river to the main Sal
mon and on to connection with the
Milwaukee railroad now building to
Lewiston and with the Hill system
of railroads. The line will pass
through Meadows Valley from south
to north and enable the large timber
interests here to put at once in oper-
alton one of the largest milling plants
in the state.

Stradley, General Freight Agent
Reeves, Purchasing Agent Robinson

of the extension of their road to Nc

came on to Meadows in an automo-
bile Sunday. They say that work
will be pushed with vigor from now
on until the dewey" line is com
pleted and expect to have trains run
ming into Mccall by August or Sep
tember.
The visit of Lewis Hill and his
associate railroad builders to Ontario
and southwestern Idaho, and the flat
tering report they gave of the coun
try, lends color to the old rumor that
the "Hill system" contemplates an
early invasion of this part of the
state and the completion of theii
line to Coos Bay and into California
The reported sale of the P. & |. N
R'y may prove to be fact. Ii
which case Col Heigho will be able
to extend the road north to Lewis

the case. With both the Hill lines

TWO DROWN IN
SALMON RIVER
Forest Price, a Local Boy, and
J. F. Barkwill Victims of
Treacherous Stream.

Word was phoned into Grangeville
Tuesday from Adams Camp by Jack
Howard that Forest Price, the 10 year
old son of E. G. Price of this city,
and James IF. Barkwill, of Wilson
Creek, Wash, had been drowned Mon
day evening in the Salmon river at
the old Waugh ferry, some so miles
from this place. The circumstances
as near as can be learned are as fol-
lows:
James F. Barkwill, of Wilson Creek,
Wash, and Kenneth Stiltz, the local
veterinarian, recently bought a cat
tie ranch of w. Waugh and Charles
Waldrum, of Grangeville, and were
preparing to stock the same. Forest
Price had been employed by the firm,
and he and Barkwill left here last
Saturday morning for the ranch with
driving Mr.. Stiltz's team. They
reached Adams Camp Saturday night,
SCOTS place Sunday night and the
Waugh ranch Monday. The Waugh
ferry, which was included in the deal,
was carried out by the recent high
waters. Desiring to cross the riv-
er to the Waldrum ranch and the
boat now in use being on the other
side they phoned up the river to
Jack and Louie Howard that they
would come down there Tuesday morn
ing and have them put them over
Not showing up next morning as
agreed, Jack Howard went up to the
ferry to investigate the cause. He
found the team tied near by, with
the dogs which the young men had
taken with them, and the supplies
in the buggy. Further Investigation
showed a crudely constructed raft
like affair some two feet by eight
in dimensions, circling about in ar
eddy. as mute evidence of the fate
which had befallen the venturesomt
travellers There could be but one
reasonable conclusion reached aftel
thorough investigation of the situa
ton, and that was that the young
men had determined to save time BY
constructing a craft of their own IL
which to cross the stream, then bad
ly swollen by the flood waters, ant
that they had lost their lives in the
attempt.
After a thorough search was made
for the bodies, Louie Howard drove
the team out to Adams Camp ant
notified Grangeville of the sad oc
currence
AS soon as word was received here
Kenneth Stiltz offered a reward TO
the finding of the bodies, and CLYDE
and Durral Price, brothers of the bo,
who lost his life, together with Bel
Castle, started Tuesday night hors'
back for the scene of the tragedy

Much Ado About Nothing.
Blount County's Roads

The trip of the state highway en-
gineer, w. S. Keller, over Alabama is
already bearing fruit. 1t is very
graphic means of drawing state, wide
attention to the subject of highways,
and among other things it has given
to Judge John F. Kelton an opportuni-
ty to call attention to the work Blount
county is doing.
That was magnificent showing
made by Judge Kelton in Sundays S
Age-Herald. Though Blount county is
inhabited by sturdy, God-fearing men
and women, and though it is the moth
er of imperial jefferson county, it is
recognized as one Of the poorer coun-
ties of the state. 1t is a rugged, rock
ribbed county with many mountain
formations, which, while they offer
picturesque advantages, make the
problem of road construction much
more expensive than is the case in the
more level sections of the state.
That the county is alive to the ad-
vantages of good roads is shown not
only by the magnificent roads which
have alerady been built but also by
the fact that the county has floated
$150,000 in bonds to build still more
highways.
Indeed, considering Blount county's
resources and disadvantag the show
ing this county is making may well
put to the blush some of the wealthier
and more populous counties of Ala
bama.

Reaches as Spreaders of Disease

In these days of rapid accretion of
summer scavengers a noteworthy fact
is that the common roach is the
latest pest to come under the ban.
European scientists now claim to have
good ground for the belief that the
roach is responsible for the. spread
of cancer.
A Copenhagen man has shown that
a worm in the stomach of a rat which
existed in a larval state in the intes-
tines of a roach induces a cancerous
growth. The medical journals are al
ready pointing out that there need be
no surprise in charging the roach with
being spreader of disease, because
so many of the other household scav-
engers and pests, including the mouse,
rat, fly, mosquito and flea, have long
ago been shown to be dangerous car
riers of disease.
The remedy is the same in all
cases. If you do not feed scavengers
they cannot live. Absolute cleanliness
about the household means that all
these pests will desert for some place
where they can find something to eat.
To attempt to kill out these pests by
artificial mpanS iS to start II, +bo
wrong way. They must be starved and
they must not be allowed favorable
places to propagate.
If the stable is kept clean there can
be no flies. If the swamps and stag
nant water are not allowed there can
be no mosquitoes. If the moist crevices
are filled up and the bread crumbs
and refuse not allowed to accumulate
there can be no reaches.

What the OctOulus IL

For long time past pert paragraph
ers, alleged humorists and cartoonists
have reveled in speaking of so-called
trusts as the octopus said a citizen. I'm
my opinion Mr.. Roosevelt was entirely
right when he said that there are good
trusts and bad trusts But the average
newspaper reader seems to have an idea
that octopus is an amphbious ami
NAL whose chief aim in life is to wrap
its tentacles about something and cling
to that something until death, and in
many cases, after death.
1.-THE Americana encyclopedia tells Just
what an octopus is and 1t might be in
teresting enough to reproduce. The octo-
pus Is genus of the dibranchate cephal-
opoda, or cuttlef1shes, forming the type
of the family Octopodidae, the members
of which group are familiarly known as
''poulpes, says the Americana. These
forms possess eight arms of equal length
united to each other by web varying
in extent in different forms. The arms
possess two rows of sessile, wholly feshy
suckers.
The prominent head is Joined to the
body by a distinct neck" and the body
itself is short, generally more or less
rounded in shape. and unprovided with
side or lateral fins. The shell is internal
and is represented by two short "styles, =
which lie imbedded in the mantle "

More Recreation for Employees

The Thursday afternoon closing
movement that will be put in effect
during the months of July and Au-
gust will doubtless prove a boon to
the hundreds of clerks and other en-
ployes of the downtown stores.
After months of faithful work, Mrs.
Murdoch and her corps of faithful as
sistants have got the movement
started, and, while all the stores
have not agreed to close Thursday
afternoons, the large majority have,
and many hundreds of The employees
will be given a half-holjday each
week. The results will prove that the
worth of the movement by the greater
efficiency of the employe.
Many of the railroad companies do
not allow an employee to work more
than certain number of hours each
day or week, while the great Steel
corporation has an ironclad rule chat
none of its employees shall work more
| than six days in one week. As is
known, the mills apd furnaces work
continuously night and day, seven
days week, 30 days a month, year
in and year out, yet the Steel corpora
ton, often at great inconvenience
to the working force, compels man
to lay off one day week, not nec-
essarily Sunday but any day he can
arrange with his fellow workers.
The motive for this is not merely
philanthropy; but the managers and
superintendent of the various plants
have found out by actual figures and
unquestionable facts that the system
tends to the greater efficiency of the
workmen with corresponding in
crease in the output. So the ladies
who have so presistently advocated
the Thursday afternoon closing move
ment have not only the philanthropic
argument for the granting of the half
holiday, but the argument of the great
railroad systems and that of the
Steel corporation in giving their en-
ployes sufficient time to rest.
Many of the girls who work in the
stores are kept busy from morning
until night, and with a break in the
weeks work they will be able to give
better service during the long and
busy hours of the week end trade.

ONLY THING ELEPHANT FEARS

We were brough up to believe that the
only thing which would frighten an ~ele-
phant was a mouse. This is mistake
says II. r. H., the Duke of Montpensier
in the July Wide World Magazine.
Strange as it may seem, the only Great
ure feared by the elephant is the mos
quito. The reason is that the elephant
has very porus skin, and the mosquito
can penetrate very easily into the large
pores, thus reaching the flesh. The only
way in which the elephant can get rid OF
the mosquito is to bathe frequently, and
cover himself with dust after the batn
