Find That Death of John Erbs
Was Caused by Unavoid-
able Accident.
HURT IN SILViS YARDS
Switching creT Testified They Did
Not See Workman Until After
He Was Hit.

Coroner X. c. J. Meyer impanelled a
at the Knox undertaking parlors and
held an inquest over the body of the
ate John Erbs, the railroad man who

had witnessed the accident.
The evidence given showed that the

box car struck Mr.. Erbs. His cries
were heard and those nearby
rush to his assistance. He was
taken on a special train to Moline
and placed in the city hospital where
he slightly improved. He could not
survive the shock, however, and died
last SATURDAY.

ARE EXCELLENT MECHANICS.
Blacksmithing and Machine Men Of
More Than Ordinay Skill.

There is more than one advantage in
having first class mechanics in town;
a practical demonstration Of this was
had last week when the big rotary
plows was fighting its way through the
drifts to Grangeville. The work was
so difficult that the big machine was
put to many severe tests and breaks
were often. Among other damages was
q break on the wing braces, repair
job that usually has to be made in the
machine shops of the company and
where adequate machinery and men of
skill are at hand to effect the mending.
However, the men in charge Of the
crew, after the usual amount of cuss.
ing, heard of the ability of O'Kelly &
Peer, the gentlemen who conduct the
Oliver shop in Grangeville, and decided
to put the problem up to them.
The heavy casting was brought to
town and these gentlemen made the
broken pieces as good as new and the
pillow was able to proceed with its tedi-
GUS task, arriving in the city in due
time. These men are mechanics and
have shop equipment that is as good
as any on the prairie.
Always alive to the advantage of
having the latest machinery, this week
they received q toe-calking machine
that will sharpen the calks without the
use OF the hammer to any degree of
sharpness desired and do a much better
job and in less time than the old hand
method. Another machine that is
exciting much favorable comment is
the cold tire-setting machine. This
machine set tires without heating and
in jiffy.
The shop, well equipped as it is, the
proprietors are going to put in add
tional machinery and electric power by
spring SO that any class of work can be
handled and in hurry. The old relia-
BILE with a countrywide reputation, J.
Oliver, is with the firm and will con.
tinue in the shop, thus assuring a CON-
bination that means the best of smith
and machine work.

pected to carry Senator Borah bodily
into the democratic ranks even on the
tariff question. 1t was regarded as
significant that in his speech of al
subject of the tariff, even incidentally.
No man who knows James IL. Brady
expects him to waver for an instant
N his allegiance to the regular repub
liean organization. He may call him
4 = q progressive; he may work shoul
siSf to shoulder with Senator Borah in
- cndearor TO promote the material
ntert SIS Of the west but neither Borah
nor amy other man will lead him out
side the ranks of his party. He will
ONE home in two years to fight for
party supremacy no matter who the
leader or what the platform. This is
the opinion of the men closest to the
now senator and his whole life bears
out the estimate.
The fact is not overlooked that the
election OF Mr.. Brady after such bit
ter contest in which north Idaho was
humiliated to the last degree, together
with the trend indicated by Senator
Borab, has greatly increased the pros
poets Of the democrats for gaining con-
troll of the state at the next general
election.
In the first place Idaho is a Wilson
state. In the next place it is radically
progressive as Indicated by the com
bined vote Of Wilson and Roosevelt.
1t is confidently predicted now that a
large majority of the Roosevelt pro-
gressves will rally to the Wilson stan
dard in the next two years. This prom
ises now to place the democracy in the
ascendency in the state, if there were
no other forces at work in their favor
But to this natural trend which pro-
misses to effect the whole country north
Idaho will, unless there is radical
change, throw their influence on the
side of the democrats. With such a
man as Geo. w. Tannahill up for the
senate and perhaps a north Idaho man
for governor the chances for James H.
Brady in this section of the state will
not be bright.
This leaves out of the problem the
strong probability that the next sena-
torial candidate will be named in the
primary and that Burton L. French
bids fair to defeat Senator Brady in his
own party before the real battle opens
for the control of the state.-Lewiston
Tribune.

ADVANTAGES Of
WINTER DAIRYING


Dairymen practically al agree that 3

fall. says correspondent Of Iowa

comes from the stimulus Of fresh gnass
In the spring. In the case Of spring
calving the same stage In lactation IL
reached at the time pastures dry up.
Then as the NATURAL tendency 10 for
the milk dow to fall on, the change to
dry feed Is made. which brings fur
Their reduction. Instead Of that, COWS
that have freshend in the fall are turn
ed on spring pasture. and the dow kept
up for some time. Twenty per cent as
the increase in yearly production IL
probably none too high an estimation
for the additional amount secured by
that practice.
Winter dairying has other desirable
features. On the small farm or on the
general farm where only q few cows
are kept. 1t serves as a means Of giving
employment at least a part Of the
time for the owner and hired help. It
relieves the work Of milking and car

when field work is most urgent. Thus

Grain and Quality Of Ruttee.

The character of the food frequently
Influences the quality of the butter.
The white, hard. tasteless character Of
winter butter results from the food
given. Fresh pasture. bright legume
hays. corn silage and soiling crops Give
color to the milk and to butter. Gluten
or corn produces a soft butter. Wheat
bran makes harder butter than
either. II much Of gluten il introduced
into ration the butter will be soft, but
Its hardness may be improved by the
use of cottonseed meal. a feed that
makes very hard butter. BY mixing
the two better grade Of butter viii
be obtained than II either IL used alone.
A pound or two Of cottonseed meal
when the cows are on pasture helps to
counterfeit the Objectionable softness Of
butter during the pasture season.

FUTURE POLITICS
TENDENCIES INDICATED BY MIR
BRADY'S ELECTION.
PROcRESSVES MADE NO HIT
Always Old-Liner, Regardless Of AL
legged Reformation-Borah Wind
Up Democrat?

What effect is the election of James
II. Brady to have on the election two
years from now2
Strange as it may seem this is the
phase of the situation that is receiving
the most attention since the breaking
up Of the deadlock last week.
Republican politicians who look into
the future are worried. This is espec-
tally true as to the north. Not only was
the north snubbed by the rejection of
it's senatorial candidate, but there does
not seem to be any indication of hold
ing out the olive branch in the future.
In the southeast the feeling is that
it has demonstrated its powers at last i;
that it has come into it's own, and that
henceforth it must be reckoned with in
the distribution of political plums.
The feeling is encountered on all sides
that through combination of the
southwest and the southeast and
policies of the entire state can be DOM
mated for many years to come.
The best the north was able to mus.
ter in the way of strength in the legis-
lature during the recent contest was
much less than one-third of the repub-
hcan vote, and the fact that wo-thirds
of the party strength may be arrayed
against the north at any time furnishes
"a basis for the seeming arrogance of
the south and east.
There is one other phase of the sit
uation that is the cause of much CON-
ment among politicians of all ways of
thinking This is the rout OF the pro-
gressive element of the republican
party in the election of Senator Brady.
All through the late campaign he was
standpatter of the strictest sect. He
never made bones of his support of
President Taft, and while he did not
enter into the warfare waged against
Roosevelt and his followers he never
left the least doubt in the mind of any
one that he was a straightout republi-
can and that he had no use whatever
for insurgency either in or out of the
party.

1t is true that many hold that the
progressives got all which they were
entitled in the election OF Senator
Borah, and that they should have been
only too glad to yield the short term
to the other wing of the party. But
against this is put the statement that
Borah was supported by all kinds of
republicans and that his election was
no victory of either wing; that it
would have been more than the politi
cal life Of any republican was worth to
raise his voice against Borah.
For this reason the election OF Brady
is looked upon as victory for the
standpat element of the party; swing
ing back into the old channel and a
tangible expression of desire to get
away from the worship of strange gods
Many of the Bull Moose are so ell
ated over the defeat of Judge Ailshie,
however, that they are already recon
ciled to the election Of Brady. They
were SO bitter against Judge Ailshie
for being party to shutting the
Roosevelt electors off the official ballot
and for his part Of the contempt pro-
ceedings against three of the party
leaders that their grief over the cleo
ton of Brady is much more than com
pensated for by their election over the
humiliation of the judge.
But after all possible allowances are
made the TACT remains that james IL.
Brady will be attacked from two vital
points within his own party when he
comes up for reelection in two years.
He will be attacked vigorously in the
north where the feeling will grow that
an injustice was done in his election
and that section of the state should
have senator.
lie will be vigorously attacked also
from behind the breastwork of the Bull
Moose. 1t is true that in his little
speech OF acceptance on the day he was
gressive republican and that he would
work shoulder to shoulder with Senator
Borah in Washington.
But it was noted by those who heard
Senator Borah and who have been keen
~ watching Woodrow Wilson since the
election that Senator Borah and Presi.
dent Wilson occupy identical ground
ON the question of determination of
monopoly and the conservation of the
natural resources of the country.
So remarkable was this harmony be-
tween the two men that shrewd poll.
ticians after hearing the senator here
predicted that he would>be in the demo.
cratic party within two years backing
the president in the policy he seems to
have mapped out for his administration.
His determination to stamp out the
trusts, combines and monopolies is ex.
