THE Dawn of
Plenty"
BY IMMIGRATION Con-. S. ]. RICH

The seventh Biennial report OF
the immigration Commissioner
S. ]. Rich OF Idaho, which has
just come of the press is one OF
the most artistic and educa tional
books that has ever been publish
ed by the state.
In the first place the work oi
getting it out was a great under.
taking from the fact that SO
much information was not with
IN arms length of the Commits
sloner but it had to be gathered
from all parts of the state by
letter and in the next place the
printers, Caxton Printers, OF
Caldwell, has given the state a
piece OF work that would do Gre
dit to any printery in the west.
The information gathered and
included within the lids of this
work Is of the very greatest value
to people on the outside who de-
sire relniOrma ton concerning Idaho
There is no matter of import
ance in the state but what there
is something gathered about it.
Particular attention is given
our farm products, showing the
yields per acre, the means OF OBJ
tanning same and the facts about
irrigation.
Commissioner Rich is to be con-
graduated upon the very excel
lent work he has performed.
From all parts of the United
States where he has mailed copies
orders are pillng in from 1000 to
10000 copies and MIR. Rich has
been compelled to appeal to the
legislature tor an additional ap-
preparation to have another ad.
dition struck off while the forms
are up and the printers are in
shape to do the work at small
cost compared with the first
edition,
The Northern Pacific Railroad
company and the Oregon Short
Line have ordered copies by the
thousands and the good that
will result to Idaho by the work
cannot be estimated at this time.

North Planning
Formation of
New State.
WOULD TAKE SIX IDAHO CoUN-
TIES AND SLICE OF STATE
OF WASHINGTON.

Tor its object the organization IN
to a new state OF the six counties
OF northern Idaho with that part
OF, eastern Washington lying east
OF the Cascade Mountains, and
an effort will probably be made
tomorrow to introduce in either
house or senate a joint memorial
asking Congress to take steps to.
ward submitting to the people of
the two states involved the ques-
tiOn whether or not such a state
shall be created
Chandler of Clearwater and
Friend of Lewis are the most ac-
tive advocates of the plan. They
claim to have behind them the
support of all the northern mem
bers. If the effort is made to in
troduce the memorial in the
house they say it will be over the
signatures of at least IS of its
members.
The plan is also said to have
its following in eastern Washing
ton, 1t is'said that a memorial
similar to the one here has alrea-
dy been introduced in the Wash
ington assembly.
The Idaho "secessionists" have
telegraphed to Olympia for CO.
py OF the memorial said to have
been introduced there, and they
expected to receive it last night
but up to late hour it had not
arrived. If such a copy is receiv
ed the Idaho memorial will be
drawn to conform with it.
AS the agitators of the division
plan understand the legal require
ments their first move is to mem.
orialize congress, asking the pas
sage Of an act authorizing a spe-
cial election in the two states
affected at which the people can
vote for and against the iormat-
ion of the new state. Should the
people ratify the division it is un.
derstood that it would then be
a question for congress to decide
whether or not the new state
should be admitted.
Exactly what the provisions
OF the memorial are to be will
not be known until it is received
from the Washington legislature
but it is understood 1t is propos-
ed TO call the new state Lincoln,
and the capital locatedDbY popu-
lar votdT
The advocates of the division
have little hope of passing the
memorial, but they hope by its
introduction to at least show
their resentment Of what they re-
gard as steam rolling process
inflicted on them by the South.
The northern delegates do not
concea1the fact thas they think
they were robbed of a speaker
ship and A senatorship, The We
toing of the Tenth Judicial Dis |
trict added somewhat to the
feeling of resentment. and many |
of the northern members think
the effort made by Twin Falls to |
secure an agriculture college was
but the first of series OF moves
that will ultimately bring the
State university from Moscow |
to the southern part of the
State.

PuritaniCaI Sabbath Branded
Breeder of Gambling, Drink
ing and Other Evils.

Or w. w. MemminRer. OF the All
Saints Episcopal church, today took
courageous stand in asking a recrea-
tive Sunday for the Atlanta working
man. DIR. Memminger. one of the three
ministers who voted against Puritani-
cal Sabbath in the city, declared if
Sunday moving picture shows were
the only solution to the Sabbath
amusement problem he was for them
heart and soul"
There must be an outlet for the
working mans emotions-he must have
recreation" is Dr. Memminger's sum-
up OF the local problem now so much
in the public eye.
With his eyes aba2e with zeal, DR..
Memminger said;
1t is hard enough for a man TO
have to work ten and twelve hours a
day and have the Sabbath for recrea
ton, but when every avenue of pleas
ure is closed the suppression is I'M
bearable and the baser emotions are
allowed absolute freedom.
Sees Boarding House Evil"
The result is gambling, drinking
lighting and worst of all. the boarding
house evil person who works all
week and then has to spend his Sun
days in a boarding house, should not
be held responsible for what he does
His emotions are cramped, his Ideas
stifed and his better judgment warp
ed
Please do not misunderstood me
do not think this is the ideal way
l believe either the city or some phil
anthropist should make these things
possible without cost. but until thai
is done, ! say, let's have the mos
practical solution of the problem ant
l believe that the open picture show
is the way"
Dr. Memminger was one Of the three
ministers who voted against the res
olution presented by Marion Jackson
of the Men and Religion Forward
| Movement, at a ministerial luncheon
yesterday asking strict enforcement OF
the Sunday laws by Chief Beavers
The ministers who voted against it
were Rev. Mr. Wing, of the West END
Episcopal church; Rev. Mr.. Saumenig
and DR.. Memminger.
Advances His Solution.
When asked what he thought Of
| Sunday baseball. DR.. Memminger stated
that he was in favor of any form OF
! recreation that would relieve the pres
/ ent stress and hard condition of the
! laboring man.
My ideal solution for the whole
! Sunday problem" he asserted, is an
| eight hour day with half holiday on
/ Saturday, and then there would be no
! excuse in asking for an infringement
on the observance Of the Sabbath, but
as there is no eight hour law and nc
half holidays l say give the people
their only chance sunday
Il would think it moral wrong fol-
a man i'm good circumstances and who
had ample play time during the veel
to ask for sunday recreation. But tbs

He. is not a mar so much touched with
guilt as victim and sacrifice. He was
not a principal, but an agent. 1t
wasn't he who conceived the dream,
nor he who made the millions out Of
1t. Railroad presidents are pawns;
when they "get in bad" in Montana
and Oregon they are transferred 70
New England; when their unpopular
ity becomes nationwide they are pen
stoned off. Wall street is the place
where the deeds are conceived. the
pawns moved, the millions cashed.
Some one man conceived all that the
New Haven has done. Isn't the public
intelligence great enough to identify
him? Some one man made money out
of it for himself and his associates.
If it is like other similar explorations,
the same group are now making
money out of the New Haven's trou-
bles by selling the stock short. Later
on, when the small stockholders have
become discouraged or unable longer
to hold on, the same group will make
more money by buying the stock in
cheap and. reorganizing the road. Some
day public intelligence and capacity
for cooperation will be great enough
to stop all this.
