FAVORITES RETURN

Monday night the Maud Henderson
company will open its engagement
with that beautiful play, "Over the
Ridge" There Is a great scope for
dramatic work and no better vehicle
could have been chosen by the man
agement to display the ability of
every member of the company. There
is not one weak part in the entire
cast The scenes are laid in Ten
nessee and the story hangs around
the fact that a quadroon slave has
changed two children in their infan-
cy, substituting a child of another
slave for a wealthy planters and
keeping the secret until the children
are grown.
The white child has grown up in
ignorance of it's parentage and has
become very wealthy through owning
a valuable mine. The other child has
been brought up in luxury and has a
position of trust in his guardian s
bank. He betrays his trust and
wrecks the bank through speculation.
The quadroon has kept her secret
but discloses it to the colored boy,
in an endeavor to obtain blackmail
and also spirit Of revenge on her
old master. The truth comes out in
a startling manner and the wronged
boy saves the bank and carries off
the coveted prize in the person of
the bankers daughter. The story
is strong in love, hate, devotion and
pathos. A good line of comedy is
interspersed, making Over the
RIDGE truly good story. Remem-
ber, program changes nightly and
"Over the Ridge" will only be seen
Monday night.

WOOL DEALERS COMBINATION
is TO BE ATTACKED
Capital News)

To whip the wool dealers of the
east is Idahos ambition. To buck
against the combination of eastern
buyers and force them to pay fair
prices for wool is the program the
Idaho dealers would pursue. An or
ganization that will control practi-
cally the entire output of the wool
producing states, that will sign up
for certain definite amounts of wool,
that will by its vastness force the
eastern buyers to deal with 1t fair
ly is the scheme that many of the
growers have in mind and that will
eventually be worked out before the
state association adjourns.
The scheme is vast. It's scope is
unlimited. 1t takes in all of the
wool producing states. 1t controls
the output of the sheep men of the
northwest. 1t forces the buyers to
pay fair prices, it outlines a pro
gram that will tightly bind the grow
ers together in battle with the
dealers. 1t stores or sells the wool
at will and at market value.
Twenty million pounds are produc-
ed annually In Idaho alone. Hun
dreds of millions are produced in the
wool sections of the country. To con
troll this vast resource, to take in
any and everybody's wool, to pro
vide a penalty If the grower sells
to outside markets are all included on
the program.
The Idaho State Wool Growers as
sociation is in its annual session. 1t
Is discussing and threshing out the
problems that face the sheepmen OF
the state. 1t plans to go into the
affairs of the wool warehouse asso-
ciation and to enlarge the scope of
the activities of that organization and
combination to fight the growers and
to control prices. To meet this com
bination, it plans also to combine.
Senator Worth Lee in his address
as president of the state organiza
tion went into the problems that
confront the sheep industry. He
thinks that the lack of common under
standing and the combination OF the
wool men OF the state is greater
detriment to the industry than the
revision of the tariff schedule.
In summarizing his report, he says
"Our president undoubtedly means
the upsetting of our entire protec

CONSERVATION OF FRUIT AND
VEGETABLE PRODUCTS

The executive committee OF the Id
aho- Washington Development league
has taken up the question of conserv-
ing the fruit and vegetable crop OF
the Lewiston Charleston region and a
committee composed of A. e. Clark,
William Thompson, e. M. Ehrhardt,
r. e. Sheppard and F. N. Finch was
named to conduct the Investigations
for the league. This committee is au
thorized to appoint. subcommittee
and to generally direct the work OF
crop conservation but will not inter
fere in any manner with the work un
dertaken by the Commercial club, the
Orchards association or the North
Pacific Distributor s association.
The discussions of the league re-
suited in an agreement on the plan
of operations to be followed by the
committee named which relates to
the banking and transportation fea-
lures connected with the fruit con
servation. 1t is expected big can
merry project will be one of the first
matters to receive the attention OF
the committee, but it is generally
realized that no matter which phase
of the fruit conservation question. is
considered, a prominent requisite
will be ample funds to handle the
business.
"The conservation of the fruit
crops of the LewistonC Charleston val
ley is the most importnt problem con.
fronting our citizenship at this time,
said Secretary Wallace r. Struble, of
the Idaho Washington Development
league. "The products of our or
chard, vineyard and vegetable farm
are emphatically our greatest asset,
and we must take practical steps to
secure to our growers and the COM
munity the full benefits accruing
therefrom. To neglect this is moth
ing short of criminal. The enlist
ment of earnest, capable business
men in the solution of this problem
means that the question will be squar.

MUCH INTEREST
IS MANIFESTED
Water Users Committee Sets Out
Clear Matter Pertaining To
Building OF irrigation
System

Editor Republican:
From the questions asked by nu-
merous persons calling at the head
quarters of the water committee
(Lawyer Watts office) for the pur-
pose of signing up for water, 1t is
evident that they are interested and
deeply in earnest In the permanency
of the system which will eventually
belong to them, and their interest
has led the committee to ask you
to publish the following for the in
formation of the community in gen.
eral. First let us say that the pol
icy of the state has materially chang
ed since the time of the John H.
Garrett scheme No more promises
of water which is dependent for de-
livery ON an imperfect and cheaply
built system. The state now re-
quires that the company before con
structing a system for the distribu-
ton of water must file with the
state engineer, plans and specifica-
lions of the system to be built, and
that those plans and specifications
must be approved by the state en-
gineer before the system can be built
and when they are so approved
and constructor Is begun, the state
engineer has an inspector ON the
works who has instructions and au-
thority to stop all work, not being
done according to the plans approv- .
ed by the state engineer. In this
case, the company have filed the
plans and specifications required
and they have been approved by the
state engineer, and are on file in his
office and open to inspection by, the
public. Furthermore, the company
engineer, Mr.. Fessenden, has dupli-
cate copies at the Company's office
here, and has informed the commit
tee that he will be pleased to show
and explain them to any one wish
ing to see them, IL they will call at
the office, He has just shown US
ten sheets of blue prints showing
each section of the water system,
including the steel fumes, concrete
tunnels, concrete dual steel head
gates, ETC. For the benefit of those
interested and not having time to
visit the office, we will say that the
plans and specifications in part, pro-
vide that all tunnels are to be con-
creted, Sides top and bottom; all
fumes are to be steel feet In dia-
meter; all headgates and waste
gates are to be steel and concrete;
all sub-structures for fumes are to
be of picked fir set on concrete
foundation. The opinion seems to
still prevail to some extent, that the
material used and the kind OF sys-
TEN to be constructed, Is matter
of agreement or contract between the
water users and the company fur
nishng the water. But this Is not
the case. That method led to the
building of flimsy and worthless
structures, and the state refuses to
allow any system to be built ex-
cepting under its absolute control,
and according to plans approved by
its engineer.

FORTY COUPLES
GIVEN LICENSE
THANKSGIVING EVE WAS THE
BUSIEST DAY WHEN II WERE
GIVEN PERMITS.

Dan Cupid was on the job during the
past month as is seen from the number
Of marriage licenses issued during
November in the license record in the
office of the clerk Of district court,
". II. Wilson. No less than forty pairs
of loving hearts were given the oppor-
tunity to beat as one and there was
employment for the ministers or mag
istrates throughout the month in tying
nuptial knots.
1t must not be construed that this
number of permits Issued means one
every day. for this Is not the case.
Quite the contrary. On sixteen days Of
the month were licenses issued. On
six of these was there but one granted,
two per day were issued on five days,
three in a day for as many days, four
on one day and then the real busy
day, November 26, the day before
Thanksgiving. For this occasion the
little love god summoned up all his
forces and when the key was turned
in the lock at the clerks Office as
Messrs. Wilson and Hawks we're leav-
ing to take up the matter of turkey
the day following, one was heard to
say that eleven marriage licenses
would provide fees enough for some
parsons to have Thanksgiving dinner
With all the trimmings, for the record
Of the day showed but one less than
a dozen permits issued that day.
