PERKY'S POPULARITY.

1t is doubtful if any man serving
in the United States senate for two
months has made so many frineds as
Senator X. I. Perky, of Idaho, ap-
pointed by Governor Hawley after
the death of Senator Hepburn, and
only recently relieved by Senator J.
H. Brady, chosen by the Idaho legis-
lature. Senator Perky came to Wash
ington practically stranger; per-
haps he knew personally three mem
bers of the senate; he leaves Wash
ington counting every senator his
friend.
When the Idaho legislature elect
ed Senator Brady, many senators, Re-
publicans and Democrats, went to
Senator Perky to express their regret
that he would soon be leaving the
senate, and those who said goodbye,
without exception voiced the hope
that some day Idaho might return
him to the senate The newspaper
corps at Washington will miss SEN
ator Perky quite as much as his COL
leagues in the senate, for he was one
Of those rare men in p = lie life who
had a nose for news" and who was
always ready and willing to see news
paper men and help them.
Senator Borah Of Idaho has the
reputation Of being the "best news
man" in the senate, but had Senator
Perky been allowed to remain, he
would have riva1led his colleague It
IS very remarkable that Idaho should
have had two good news men in the
senate at the same time. And this
too should be said, both Senator
Perky and of Senator Borah, they
are always ready to give up news OF

JOB HUNTERS FROM THE NEW
COUNTIES ON GOV. TRAIL.
Statesman J

Governor Haines is swamped with
applications for jobs. Job hunters are
keeping his office filed from daylight
until dark. Applications are pouring
in on every mail There are more
patriotic citizens in the state today
than there ever were before, men and
women who want to give their ser
vices to their country and theil
state for the measly little pittance
that a sheriff Or school superinten'
dent or a county commissioner re,
ceives.
The job hunters in the newly crea'
ted counties are too numerous tC
mention. They are shipped in car
load lots and have been coming
through on the fast express for the
last few days. Every mail has
brought applications for appoint
ments from the governor. Some OF
the brave cowboys of Power county
want to be sheriffs and hunt desper-
ADDE'S. Others want to be county com
missioners and get cussed for their
judgments on the value of property
And nice little school girls want to
be county superintendent and train
the young idea in the way it should
60 through the public school system
of the state.
AS soon as the division bills passed
and became the law of the state, the
applications became the bane Of the
girls in the governors office. They
have kept coming but as yet, the gov
ernor has taken no steps to grant the
prayers of the office seekers and
land them in honorable and lucrative
jobs for the coming two years.

LARGE PRODUCTION OF LIME
STONE IN THE q. q.

More limestone is produced in the
United States than any other kind Of
stone, not excepting granite, and it's
value is also greater.
The value Of the limestone output
in 1911, according to the United
States Geological Survey, was $33,-
S79,362, a decrease Of $706,316 from
the figures for"191O. The decrease
in value was chiefly in limestone us
ed for fluxing. These figures do not
include the value of most Of the stone
that is buried into lime, nor all large
quantity of limestone used in the
manufacture of Portland cement.
The principal states that produc-
ed limestone in 1911 we're, in rank
Of Value Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indinia
Illinois, New York and Missouri each
having an output OF more than ST.
100000.

IDAHO STATE SEED CONVENTION
Secretary's Announcement on Meeting

S6cReCAfyS announcement Oh NAcclHufs
to Be Held at Idaho Falls.

tion will hold it's annual meeting at

SEED TESTING LABORATORY.

| A seed testing labortary is being
installed in the Capital at Boise
which will be prepared after January
1st 1913, to test seed, grain, grass
seed and garden seeds, for all per-
sons in southern Idaho, who desire
such tests to be made.
During the past few years large
amounts of foul seed grain have been
distributed wholesale and retail
Throughout this state. Previous to
1912 the sale of seed grain was not
regulated by law and as consequence
those states which enforced pure seed
legislation, made Idaho the dumping
ground for all seed grain which was
prohibited from sale elsewhere.
| Last year an act was passed so Sc
verely restricting the sale of impure
seed that it was impractical to con-
form to it's requirements and impos-
sible with the meagre appropriation
of S 900 made for the work to carry
or efficient inspection. At the con-
ing Legislature it is hoped by all con-
cerned that several needed amend
ments to the act will be made and
that more funds will be given for
conducting the work.
Because of the delay in transit of
mail and samples of grain from
north Idaho to Boise and return, it
has been decided that the Agricultur-
al college at Moscow will test at Mos
COW all samples of grain for that
part of the state.
The past season has been irregu-
lar in many localities of Idaho and
as a consequence the terminating
power of seed grain in these districts
has been impaired. A very high per-
centage of samples of seed grain
tested this season have been found to
foul with weed seeds for seeding pur-
poses. This applies especially to the
clovers and alfalfa.
Before buying or selling grain of
any kind all farmers especially are
urged to submit samples of the grain
to the Seed Commissioner for South
Idaho, State House, Boise or to the
Agricultural College, Moscow for
north Idaho, where careful tests for
purity and termination will be made
and reports given thereon with the
least possible delay. No charge will
be made for this work The object
of this work is to prevent the impor-
tation of weed seeds and their dis
tribution within the state of Idaho,
to discourage the production of i'm
pure seed and to protect the farm
ers against dishonest or careless mer-
chants who offer foul seed at re-
duced prices. Mail samples early to
avoid unnecessary delay. Four-ouncs
samples of grass and clover seeds
are sufficient for the tests and from
eight 10 ten ounces of the large
grains. B. B. COGLAN,
| Seed Commissioner

pc nted officers for Power county,

sioners in Oneida county who were
legslated out of office when the

ernor Haines in his appointments
carried out his program of securing
the best men for the office available
In naming the Franklin county Of
ficials the governor appointed two
Democrats to commissionership and
gave the Democrats several other
minor offices. Politics did not enter

it concerns them or not. Congress is
filled with men who are seeking self
advertisement in the newspapers;
there are very few who can recognize
a news story that does not involve

STORM DEATH TOLL 244.
Nineteen American Vessels Lost on
Great Lakes Last Month.

The Secretary Of Commerce has been
advised by the Bureau of Navigation
that latest reports fix the death toll Of
the recent storm which swept the Great
Lakes, November to II, at pa. Nineteen
American vessels have been reported as
total losses. No intimation has been
received from any source that the dlsas-
tiers were due to lack Of equipment or
faulty construction of the vessels so far
as such matters are covered by statute.
The radio inspectors at Cleveland and
Chicago and the Marconi Company re-
port that every commercial vessel lost
during the storm was without wireless
equipment. They were cargo vessels,
and did not come within the law. Yes
sells equipped with wireless received
warning of the impending storm and
sought places of safety.
1t is understood that owners OF about
fifty such vessels are arranging with the
Marconi Company to have wireless equip
ment installed.
