should at all times govern the con-
duct of state toward the citizens of
other nations.

The stores of this city and all places
of business are urged to close for
next Friday for Memorial day exer-
cises and thus show their gratitude
and respect to the surviving veterans
and the soldier dead. Too much can
not be said of the lesson which Men,
orial day should teach to the present
generations and it should be observed
with great deal more reverence than
is manifested by the young people Of
today. Commercialism has done much
to kill the spirit of patriotism In both
old and young and has killed much of
the spirit of gratitude to the men who
preserved the Union. Give the veter-
ans the mead of praise due them and
make their last faltering steps along
life's highway as cheerful as possible.
Their sacrifice cannot be taken back
or the past recalled, but it will make
it seem more worth while il the he
role deeds of the war go down as
precious memories to the succeeding
generations as the epitome of unset
fish devotion to this country.

IDAHO'S MAMMOTH CAVE.
Big Cave in Lava Three Miles in
Length Near HALEY. +

We have a mammoth cave right at
home. 1t Is three miles in length and
only 20 miles southwesterly from Hal
ley and it can be easily reached by
automobiles as wagon road leads di-
rectly to it.
J. G. Fox and his three sons, DR.. E.
w. Russell and Howard and John Gill
man, Jr., visited the cave yesterday,
making the run there and back in
their car. The road might be better
but it Is in such condition that the run
can be made from HALEY in an hour.
The entrance to the cave is at the
base of lava butte and is merely a
hole about fourteen feet deep by
eight feet wide. From this hole one
has to crawl for about twenty feet I'M
der the hanging rock
The cave then opens into a large
dome-shaped passage which extends
back apparently under the butte for
three-fourths of mile. Another low
and narrow passage then opens into
similar dome-shaped room The
cave runs back southeast for about
two miles and turns abruptly to the
east and extends for about mile. The
formation inside the cave is mostly

limestone and in some places it is en-
tirely of pure white limestone. The
limestone formation may be as hard
as rock, as soft as powder, or again
very brittle. The lava rock and lime
stone formation leads one to believe
that the cave has been a crater and
that all Of the limestone did not burn
out. In the succeeding ages water,
perhaps an underground river, has
made numerous lodges and left a
sandy deposit on the floor. In two
places the roof has evidently fallen
leaving huge lava boulders as OBJ
stacles to visitors.
Men and women DESTROYS of perpet-
uating their names have written and
carved in one of the limestone grot-
toes until there is hardly any space
left. There are other and similar
grottoes, however, which will serve for
future generations.
About three miles from the entrance
to the cave is a crack in the lava from
which current Of air rushes. It is
supposed that this is air which passes
through the cave for the air inside is
pure.
A quarter of a mile due west is
smaller and less picturesque cave,
which is evidently the lair of numer-
Gus wild animals during the winter

The question of the bridging Of the
Rock creek canyon at the end Of the
main avenues leading into the city
is one in which all taxpayers are vi
tally interested, for the reason that
the initial expense and the cost of up
keep are no small items and will have
to be shouldered by the taxpayers.
The Times believes unqualifiedly in
the placing of good substantial steel
bridges across the canyon for two
good reasons. First, because of the
economy of the haul. from the stand
point Of the rancher. Second, from
the economy of up-keep. These two
reasons appear to outweigh all others
which may be brought into the ques-
ton. The grade which is advocated
practically curtails anything but the
lightest of loads and would Of course
increase the expense of the ranchers
hauling into this city. This one item
should be given the fullest considera-
ton. Another thing to be considered
In such economy would be the delay
in getting traffic into the city while
the slow moving teams went up and
down such grade. A sufficiently wide
grade to allow passing would be as
much expense in the first place as
the cost of an air line bridge The
economy of up-keep is a debatable
question but The Times believes that
with the wear and weathering upon
a grade each year that the upkeep of
such grade would be greater than the
replanking of bridges every two or
three years. The Times believes that

icle, should persist in the refusal.
even If the actual result be strike" y
According to this leading organ of
railroad finance:
THE roads can not ask for an In
crease in rates and at the same time
refuse this further demand for higher
wages, no matter how unreasonable
it may be. 1t must be either one or
other. The public will, we are sure,
put up with the inconvenience of a
strike, seeing how hard pressed the
railroads are, If thereby an advance
in rates can be avoided; but to ask 1t
to submit to strike and also to pre-
pare for higher rates at time when
business will be sadly deranged by
tariff changes will, we are afraid, be
more than the public will be. willing
to submit tos In such event, too, pop
ular sympathy would be with the
striking employees It would be ar
gued that as the roads had petitioned
for better rates, they could well afford
to pay these workers higher wages.
On the other hand, should the rail-
roads yield to the demand of the con-
ductors and firemen they would gain
nothing, even If the Interstate Com
'merce Commission should, after
lengthy hearings and long delay,
sanction the proposed increase in
rates. The one would simply offset
the other, leaving the roads no better
off in the end. 1t is for this reason
that we think the move ill-advised at
the present time. Literary Digest.

THE MERRY-GO-ROUND OF RATES
AND WAGES.


Two years ago, after protracted
hearings, the Interstate Commerce
Commission denied the railroads plea
for permission to raise freight rates.
Now the Eastern roads think the time
has come to try again, and they hope
that their request for little increase
OF only 8 per cent will, in view of
changed conditions, seem only lust
and fair to the Commission. Railroad
firemen and engineers, it is noted on
every hand, have just won wage-in-
creases amounting to about $1,000, 00O
a year; conductors and trainmen are
now demanding something like ST.
100000 more pay annually. So, while
the spokesman for the carriers lay
emphasis on the need of cash ito keep
the railroads abreast with the growing
demand of the business of the coun-
try, it seems to The Wall Street Jour-
nal that the real question is, "Will
they be able to use it that way if they
get more revenue, or will rates, wages,
and supply prices merely resume their
seats in the merry-go-roun The
Wall Street Journal and some other
financial authorities do net quite ap-
prove Of this merry-go-round process,
and think the carriers ought not to
make their request just now, il it
means only a strengthening Of their
employees demands, and wage conces-
sfons which would take up all the adj
ditional revenue brought in by higher
rates. But as the lay press see it,
the wage situation appears rather to
give point to the plea of the railroads.
The New York Tribune tells why the
public should pay the higher rates:
"The public has decreed these high
er wages. To save the public the cost
and Inconvenience of strikes, the rail-
roads have consented to arbitration.
Representatives of the public have ad-
justed the disputes, determining the
wages that should be paid, and thus
adding many millions to the railroads
expenses"
Then there are other facts which
bring such papers as the New York
World and Evening Mail, Philadelphia
Record and Public Ledger, Baltimore
Sun, and st. Louis Republic to the
conclusion that there is certain
amount of Justice and common sense

PROVISIONS OF WIDOWS PENSION
LAW.

The mothers pension law passed at
the last session of the legislature, is
now effective and blanks will be re-
ceived by the probate judge Of each
county within few days.
There are two forms of blanks to be
filled out, one by the applicant and
one by the Investigating officer. The
applicants blank is more detailed
than an application for life insurance;
it contains the entire history of the
applicants family. The blank to be
filled out by the investigating officer
is even more complete. This is to
guard against fraud.
In commenting on the law Judge
Dunbar of Boise says:
when the law first went into eff
feet in Illinois, the court was deluged
with applicants, who were urged to
appear by their friends, who assured
them that the county was giving away
money to widows and that they might
as well apply for some of it. Our law
specifies that the probate judge of
each county shall have authority here
matter provided to make provision for
the partial support of women whose
husbands are dead or confined in the
Idaho state penitentiary, when such
women are poor and are mothers of
children under Is years of age The
allowance of each woman shall not
exceed $40 per month when there is
but one child and IS per month for
each additional child under Is; thus,
II there are three children under Is
years the allowance will be 500"
Section 3 of the new law says:
Such allowance shall be made by the
probate court and only upon the fol-
lowing conditions: The child or
children for whose benefit the allow
ance Is made must be living with the
mother of such child or children. The
allowance shall be made only when
in the absence of such allowance she
will not be able to remain home with
her children. The mother must, in
the Judgment of the probate court, be
proper person physically, for the
bringing up of her children. Such al
lowance shall, in the Judgment of the
court, be necessary neglect. No per-

The murder Of five insane patients
at the Blackfoot asylum by trusty,
after an investigation by the trustees
Of the state, is blamed onto the absent
legislature which failed to vote money
enough for the increased population
in that populous resort. Probably if
the legislature had been in session
the blame would have been placed
where it belongs. That is with the
management of the asylum, which
does not place adequate guards over
the patients at night.
