vanced today as the result of active de-
mand.
General average price OF hogs Wed
nesday was the lowest since last Janu-
AIRY. AlthQ the average VAS the lowest
in that time, top hogs Wednesday only
went back to Dec. 4, when best offer
lngs sold at S7.75. Shipping orders
were fair and good quality stuff cleared
early and at least decline.
Eleven markets received 100. 300 hogs
Wednesday,, or LOO less than last
Wednesday, 41,00O more than a year
ago and 1880 more than two years
ago. Total for the first half OF this
week 461, 900, or 1000 mere than same
period last week, $4,000 more than like
time last year and $4,000 more than
corresponding three days two years
ago. Total for 1913 to date 24,13o,O 900,
or 10000 more than same period 1912
and $1,000 less han corresponding
time 1911.
Cattle.
Cattle traders reported a good de-
mand for choice light steers and year-
lings.
Run Wednesday was estimated at
10000 and later 1t looked like an ac-
tual crop nearer to 10000, but there
were close to 5000 cattle on sale which
had been carried from Monday. This
left a generous midweek volume Of
offerings, and the fact that the price
breaks from Monday were not forced
all along the line vas significant Of
some fairly liberal needs for beef both
on packer and eastern shipper ac-
count.
1t was another case OF short beet
steer runs west and this helped to give
the local trade decent tone. tho there
were fair supplies east. In the east,
however, fat cattle are forming a short
quota of the current receipts, and with
few Canadians crossing the line. the
eastern shippers are compelled to make
Chicago their Fat beef headquarters.
Argentine beef is moving into New
York in fair volume, however, and
every carcass of that stuff there takes
the place Of one that would otherwise
come from here.
Total run at six points Wednesday
vas 31,600, a decrease Of 10000 from
a week ago and 500 more than a year
ago.. but river markets runs for the
week to date have fallen below a week
ago, altho Chicago's half week total is
larger. Three days crop here stood
81. 100. against 5S,1s2 a week ago and
60,21s a year ago. At six markets
1874, 900 cattle have arrived for the
three days. against 1901 900 a week ago
and 100000 a year ago, increase over
last week being alone credited to Chi
cago.
Sheep.
Plain sorts Of sheep and lambs were
neglected.
Feeders were in the trade for desir-
able feeding lambs, buying a good
feshy kind at $3.50 to SIS. about
steady with yesterday, but some shay
gy. coarse wooded and thin western
lambs. some Of which have been here
all week, were laying around on which
$500 to 1925 was the best that could
be done. Many OF these ow qualified.
common feeders went onto Iowa farms
from Omaha last fall when feeder de-
mand was avaricious. Some Of them
have had little care and less feed since
and are not bringing their cost price.
There is right good call for desirable
feeders. but almost none for h a kind.

Timber Sale Blocked.

The mysterious bid of Edwin Snow,
an attorney representing eastern
clients, whose identity he refuses to
reveal, blocked the big state timber
sale at Boise, Oct. %, to the Barber
Lumber company and forced 30-day
postponement The Barber Lumber
company bid $loO, 900 for the timber
on 12,70O acres of state land in the
Boise basin adjacent to its present
holdings of 10000 acres.
Attorney Snow raised the bid to
$lO1 900. The Barber Lumber com.
pany refused to meet it and the
board took both bids under advise
ment, The failure of the sale to go
through to the Barber people Is a
keen disappointment TO the people of
that part of the state, for had it gone
through the company promised to
spend 100000 building a railroad
to open its mill, idle for seven years,
and employ 500 men.

The Mexican Election.

The election 10 Mexico Oct. 26, for
the purpose Of choosing president
and vice president and new congress,
will not be recognized by the govern
ment at Washington for the reason
that the Mexican congress was dis.
solved and its members arrested. The
result OF the election Is considered
doubtful, but whatever the result
may be the United States will refuse
recognition.
Less than 10000 votes were cast
out Of 10000 eligible voters Ia the
Mexican capital. 1t is claimed that
not enough votes were cast to consti.
tute legal election.
The polling places, OF which there
we're said to he 928, were located In
the entrances Of building generally.
but In some Instances were set up on
the sidewalks or on corners OF public

were spread the tickets OF the various
candidates. From these the voter
made his selection, signed, folded
and delivered 1t to the president. who
deposited 1t in the presence OF the
voter 10 tbs ballot box. There was
no secrecy about the voting.
As the vote was deposited the name
was checked on the registration list
previously prepared through personal
visits OF a designated official to the
houses In his Jurisdiction. It was
not left to the volition of the eligible
citizen to register; his name was on
the list II he was entitled by residence,
age and other requirements to cast a
vote.

PURPOSES OF LEAGUE
What Commercial Clubs May
Accomplish.
BEACH GIVES OUT LETTER
Wants All Clubs to Send Delegates
to Convention.

AU' ". DedCu VI LeWlSLOO, preSlQenC
OF the Idaho State League OF Com
mercial clubs, in his efforts to com.
bine all the commercial bodies OF the
state, and induce them to send dele
gates to a convention to be held at
Boise Nov. 6 and I, states in a letter
some of tae purposes Of the union of
the clubs.
The state league, he says, "was
organized little over year ago at
Boise, but only five clubs joined
Moscow, Lewiston, Boise, Paris and
Homedale. The league was largely
instrumental in getting our exh,bi-
tion appropriation"
He says further:
1.-The state league is absolutely
non. political and apart from politics.
1t is to combine the active and prac.
| tical business brains in the state into
stable organization which may at
| all times point the way to practical
success In state legislation. We
desire to maintain bureau at Boise
| during the sessions OF the legislatures
to examine proposed bills, and when
inexperienced members propose legis-
lation that would work hardship on
the business interests or drive capital
away or prevent capital from coming
into the state, this bureau would out.
| line the matter to each club or com.
mercial body in the state for Its con-
sideration, and they then could
memorialize their senators and repre-.
sentatves, thus showing them the
interest and will OF their onstituents,
which is what every representative of
! the people most desires, and 10 this
!, way the business lnen of the state
will be acting as unit.
| s'lf we can have the active assist.
ance of the press, which l consider
: the greatest power for public good the
| state has, we can get the whole people
| of the state thinking on state matters.
II our constitution Is to be amended,
we can conduct campaign OF educa-
tion in order that the people may
vote intelligently on so important a
matter. We can show the next legis.
lature the freak laws, which 1t would
be to the best interests OF our state
to be repealed or amended. These
laws will be brought up and discussed
at the state convention, November 6
and I. Also at this convention, we
would like each delegate sent to have
his ideas as to the needs of his section
or the state at large we'll defined, as 1t
is our desire to bring out the things
most needed n Idaho, 10 advance Of
the legislature, that they may be dis.
cussed over the state, SO that when
the men are sent to Boise to represent
US they will have fair idea of the
needs, and advance knowledge OF the
bills to be acted on. No legislature
on earth can come together and 10
two months give intelligent consider.
alton to so many different bills. l
am told there were 760 bills i0troduc-
ed in the last legislature. We have
too much legislation.

roth Of Colorado says: II am un-
yielding in my determination to
uphold the Monroe Doctrine at all
hazards" Senator Borah OF Ida
do states: "There is some force in
what Mr.. Waterson says. We
must either Danish the Monroe
Doctrine or keep it alive" Sena-
tor Bristow Of Kansas does not
believe in abolishing the Monroe
Doctrine, or the principles upon
which It was founded, and de-
clares such thing would be the
most unpopular thing that could
be proposed in this country. 1.-The
man in public life who suggests
this will live to regret it." he says,
to which Senator Poindexter of
Washington adds: "The Monroe
Doctrine is needed quite as much
now as it was when it was inaugu-
rated, and sounded the warning 10
Europe to keep hands OF this part
OF the world" Senator Burton OF
Ohio declared: IL am not one OF
those who believe that the Monroe
Doctrine has reached the stage OF
decadence and should be cast
aside" Senator Bacon, chairman
OF the senate committee on foreign
relations expresses his opinion as
follows IL do not agree with
the suggestion that the Monroe
Doctrine is effete, aud no longer
OF value TO the United States. Its
provisions are, in my opinion, now
more useful to the peace and safe
~ OF the United States than it
was in the days Of Canning and the
Holy Alliance.
Representative Adamson, chair
man OF the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce,
will make a fight to suspend the
free tolls to American ships until
such time as the canal is self sus-
tanning and the dispute with Great
Britain has been satisfactorily
.settled. There is a growing con-
viction in Washington that while
it ,uay be entirely just and proper
that the United States should
claim special privileges for its ves-
sells passing through the canal.
and exempt Il. EN- from tolls, that
the provisions OF our treaty with
Great Britain ratl'cr clearly make
such policy an al OF bad faith.
1t is known that President TAFT
and former Presi dent Roosevelt
took this view OF the situation,
and now it is elaine d that Presi
dent Wilson, who b. Is a way to
taking things up in order, has
about reached the sarae conclusion.
