Accepts the Nomination.

New York, Oct 21.-William Sulzer
| impeached as governor of the state,
was nominated for the assembly last
night by the Progressives of the Sixth
assembly district. Mr.. Sulzer In 1889
began his public career as member
of this branch of the state legislature.
Mr. Sulzer has agreed to accept the
nomination, it was announced at the
meeting where he was chosen as the
candidate. Max Slender, Progressive
leader in the Sixth assembly district,
who placed the former governors
name in nomination, said Mr.. Sulzer
reached him by telephone from Albany
inquiring if he had been designated.
Mr.. Slender replied in the affirma-
tive. He said he asked Mr.. Sulzer If
he would accept and Mr.. Sulzer re-
piled he would gladly do SO.
The nomination of the impeached
executive was brought against the de-
sires of the state and county leaders
of the Progressive party. The senti-
ment among the Progressives through
out the state and other states gener
ally was against the move, according
to State ChairmanTheodore Douglas
Robinson and County Chairman Fran
els w. Bird.
Mr.. Bird IN letter to Mr.. Ste1nd-
Ter before the meeting began caution
ing him regarding "the unwisdom of
nominating Mr.. Sulzer."
"Of course it Is fundamental Pro-
gressive principle that the settled will
of the people in any district should
govern in the making of nominations"
Mr.. Baird wrote. "Progressives every
where will recognize that the commit
tee must perforce act in accordance
with the settled will of the people
of that district"
However, Mr.. Bird pointed out that
although 5000 voters in all parties, as
he was informed, out Of total of 5000
voters, had signed petition favoring
Mr.. Suffers nomination, such NOM
nation "if brought about in this way
would be more of a neighborhood than
a party nomintion. 1t would not be
strictly Progressive designation but
nomination by the voters of all the
parties in the district, using the vac
ancy that happens to be on the Pro-
gressive ticket Tor their purpose"
After Mr. Sulzer had been nominated
last night, there was demonstration
in the East Side meeting hall. Bands
in the street outside played national
airs. The nomination was made unan-
imous.-Capitai News.

Of INTEREST TO SUBSCRIBERS
Rules Governing Newspaper Subscrip.
lions.

The supreme court Of the United
States has just published ruling in
regard to newspaper subscriptions
which in substance makes a subscrip-
err who takes his paper from the post
office and refuses to pay subscription,
guilty of felony and liable to arrest as
any other who defrauds.
The following is a synopsis of the
decision in our final court.
1. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scription.
2 Subscribers ordering the discon-
tinuance Of their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until all
arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodical from the post
office they are responsible until they
settle their bill and order their paper
discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
place without informing the publisher
and any papers sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible
s. Refusing periodicals from the
postoffice or moving and leaving them
uncalled for is prima facie evidence
of intention to defraud.
g. If subscribers pay in advanve
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time If they do not want
to continue taking, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send, and the
subscriber will be responsible until
an express notice with payment is
sent to the publisher.

supervision of the new state highway
commission will be dug on section
OF the proposed state highway as map
ped out by the commission, and will
be at point near American Falls,
and will follow the old Oregon trail.
1t will be an epoch-making period,
and the event will be made the occa-
sion for a simple ceremony that will
perpetuate the posterity the start of
Idaho's great system OF state high
ways. Chairman Turner and other
members of the commission, as we'll
as good delegation from Pocatello,
will participate in the ceremony, and
it is the intention to mark the spot of
the first work commenced on the sys-
tenn by the placing of simple stone
monument, suitably chisled and in
scribed with the date and character of
the undertaking.
The section of road that is to be
constructed by the commission con-
sists of twenty-seven miles west of
American Falls and follows directly
the old Oregon trail, so that there is
something of sentiment, as we'll as
pride of construction, in the under
taking. Engineer Smith of the COM
mission, has been on the ground for
some days, and has the route well
plated, and within a few days a con-
siderable force will likely be engag-
ed in the work of building the first
state highway under state supervision.
1t is the intention of the commission
to meet in American Falls either Fri
day evening or Saturday, and the cere-
mony will be arranged later.
In the line with general road pro-
motion delegation of local citizens
last Saturday appeared before the
county commissioners of Bannack
county, and asked for an appropriation
to assist in the completion and repair
of the road leading from Ross Fork to
the Blackfoot dam, and as the bulk of
this road is in Bannock county, the
commissioners granted 500 for the
purpose. Bingham county will also
contribute it's share, and the project
will be put in good shape. This is
really section of the old time road
way, and originally there were but
two roads leading through the reserva-
ton, one towards American Falls, the
other north toward Idaho Falls, and it

A new INDUSTRY
Wooden Shoes Made in the United
States.

In this country beech is the favor
lite material for wooden shoes, the
manufacture of which has reached
considerable proportions in the United
States, according to the department
of agriculture, which has just issued
bulletin on the use of the wood.
These shoes, the department says,
cost from 60 to rs cents pair and are
good for two years. They are worn
by those who have to work in cold or
wet places, such as tanneries, brew
cries, and livery stables, and by work.
men in steel mills and glass factories
who must walk on hot CRATES or floors.
Farmers, too, are classed among the
users.
Beech wood is put to very much
wider range of uses than the average
person would be likely to suspect. The
department says beech enters into
hundreds of articles from hobby horse
rockers to butchers blocks. We walk
on beech floors, eat off beech picnic
plates, carry beech baskets, play with
beech toys, sit on beech chairs, and in
dozens of other ways use articles
made of beech almost every day of our
lives. Its freedom from taste fits the
wood especially for articles which
come in contact with foodstuffs, and
beech meat boards, skewers, lard tubs,
butter boxes, sugar hogsheads, refri-
gerators, dishes, speens, and scoops
are widely used
Only one species of beech grows ma
turally in the United States, but few
trees in this country have a wider
commercial range. 1t extends from
the gulf of Mexico into eastern Can
ada, and in practically every place
where 1t grows it is cut for market.
The total yearly output of beech wood
in the United States is approximately
500 million board feet.

SULzfR FOR LEGISLATURE
Nominated by Progressives of New
York City.

Albany, Oct. 21.-What will be the
outcome of William Suffers race for
the legislature was the question fore
most in the minds of politicians today
1t is generally agreed that he will
make much trouble for the organiza-
ton. His fire will be directed against
Aaron j. Levy, who is a candidate for
municipal Judge, and Alfred B. Smith,
speaker of the assembly, who seeks re-
election Even Suffers worst politi-
cal foes concede him victory in his
own assembly district. The consensus
of opinion was that the next assembly
would be divided among tire parties
and If this true, Sulzer will be big
factor in the race for the speakership
candidacy.

MITfR CONDITIONS IN WEST
Government Officials Say Speculation
Reached Maximum.

1.-The fever of speculation in farm
lands in the arid west which has pre-
vailed for several years apparently
has reached its maximum and is now
ON the decline and irrigated lands in
some localities are quoted today at
prices that have basis in actual rev.
enues from crops grown" says G. J.
Blanchard, chief statistician of the U.
s. reclamation department in report
on conditions on projects OF the west,
which has just been published. He
continues: Undue initiation of values
has operated to give the development
of the fest a setback and has retard-
ed settlement materially. The hunger
for land on the part OF homeseekers
shows but little diminution but there
is evidence that buyers are growing
more conservative and are giving
more careful consideration OF proper
ties before purchasing.
There is in some localities change
ON the part of land owners in their
attitude toward the buyers. Prices
are lower, terms are easier and the
disposition is growing to accord the
newcomer a fair chance to make good.
Several communities have organized
protective associations to secure OPP
lions on excess lands and to act in an
advisory capacity towards settlers in
order to safeguard them from the land
sharks. These organizations are en-
deavoring to keep prices down, and
are discouraging misrepresentation in
all literature issued. An assurance OF
a square deal to the homeseeker will
greatly stimulate the settlement of
large areas in the west now vacant.
The government is encouraging this
movement to secure cooperation be-
tween land owners and the settlers in
order to promote more rapid sub
division and cultivation of excess
lands included in reclamation projects.
Reports from field inspectors indi-
cate that the crop of 1918 will be one
of the most prosperous for settlers on
reclamation projects since the initia-
ton Of the government work in the
west. Agricultural operations are be-
ginning to be conducted on more SOL
Id and correct basis. More of the pro-
ducts are being consumed on the farm
and the uneconomic method of pro-
ducing forage and grain crops for the
market is being abandoned as the
farmers are able to acquire live stock.
The growth of the dairy industry is
most encouraging and predicates sub
Btantial prosperity for the settlers.
Bankers and merchants in many COM
munities, recognizing the wealth pro-
,ducing value of good dairy COWS, are

is the purpose of the commission to
secure the cooperation of the govern
ment so that these highways can be
kept in first class condition and will
never be closed through caprice on the
part of any officials. The best of CO.
operation is evidenced at this time.
Coincident with this the commission
ers have purchased right Of way
through what is known as the "pole
line" territory, and upon the filing of
the deed, the old road will again be
opened up.-Pocatello Tribune.

the channels of publicity and the law
makers and lawbreakers than the 91.2
per cent.
The railroads, in other words, are
left unaided by law and public senti-
ment, and but for their own resources,
powerless to prevent the great major
ity of fatalities laid by ruthlessly
unjust discrimination at their door.

MANY TRfSPASSfRS KILLED
Great Majority of People Killed ON
Railroads Are Trespassers.

A total of 1O3,566 persons have been
killed as trespassers on railroad prop
erty in this country in the last TWEEN
ty-five years.
That is over SO per cent of all the
deaths on all railroads from all causes
in that length of time. 1t is over
thirty times as many as passengers
killed in accidents to trains, which
might have been prevented by the
adoption of such modern methods Of
prevention as steel cars, automatic
stops and signals.
Notwithstanding these astounding
disclosures, legislatures, both state
and national and railway commissions
do very little to minimize the slaugh-
ter of tresspassers, while constantly
insisting on more rigid discipline for
the prevention of train accidents.
This table of statistics showing the
fatalities by classification charged to
the railroads of the United States
from 1900 to 1912 inclusive is conclu-
sive of the need for state and national
legislation calculated to prevent tres
passing and cooperative with the rail-
roads in the great progress they are
making:

Of the 1880 employees killed in ac-
cidents to trains, the statistics show
that at least so per cent of such ia
talities are due to the victims own
negligence or carelessness.
From these figures, which are COM
piled from official records kept, it APP
pears, then, that of the 1882 per-
sons killed on trains or tracks in
twenty-three years, 1850 or 91.2 per
cent came to their deaths through
their own fault or mischance, while
1892 or only SS per cent, met death

Samuel Woodwork, the son of a modest
Massachusetts farmer. was born in
Scituate. that state, January 10, 1855.
While the family were poor and had no
luxuries their lot was no worse than
that of the ordinary New England fam
lily, and they lived in comparative COM
fort
Young Samuel received the usual seduca-
ton of the country boy of his time, be-
gan writing verse at an early age-and
was apprenticed at the age of fifteen to
the printing trade.
While his life was succession of ambi-
tions, attempts and failures, his fame
rests secure on his faithful portrayal of
the old-fashioned well and weather. beaten
well-sweep, universally to be found in
the farms of that day.
While living in New York city, on
Duane street, he came home one July
day. nearly overcome with the heat, and
with nothing to drink but the tepid water
of the city-ice being unknown in those
days in the summer months-he ex-
claimed to his wife: What would I not
give this moment for a long draught
from the old oaken bucket hanging in
my fathers WE'LL"
Samuel replied his wife, wouldn't
that be a good subject for poem?" Forth
with he sat down-the thronging recollec-
tons Of his childhood crowded thick upon
him-and that charming idyl of bucolic
New England sprang into deathless life
and fame. The music is said to have
been adapted from an ancient Scottish
melody by Frederick Smith, Woodwork
died in 1852.
