WOOL GROWERS NOT
ALARMED OVER
TARIFF
FEEL CONSERVATIVES WILL
RULE AND PREVENT ANY
RADICAL UPHEAXAL

BOISE, March 31.-John Holiday
of Montana, president and general
manager of the Wool Warehouse
association, arrived in the city yes
terday. Today he will hold a con-
ference with number of the wool
men of this section of Idaho with
reference to the future plans Of
the association.
1t is also announced that there
is TO be a meeting of the direc-
tors of the association in Chicago
April 10, to map out a campaign
for the coming season. Fred w.
Gooding will represent Idaho at
THIS meeting.
Wool men of this section do not
seem to be worried over the
threatened assaults of the Demo-
cratic majority in congress on
schedule K, the wool schedule.
They seem to feel that the con-
serVatlVe forces are in control and
that there will be no radical up
heaval of the tariff system.
Views Of F. w. GOOding
Speaking on this subject last ev-
ening, Fred w. GoOding, one of the
big wool producers of the state,
said:
Il look for an ad valorem duty
of about 27 per cent as a result of
the special session Of congress.
This is not satisfactory to sheep
men as a rule for the reason that
it places the highest tariff on the
fine grades Of wool and the lowest
tariff on the poorer grades. The
present duty is specific. 1t is II
cents a pound on some grades of
wool and II cents on other grades.
The change to an ad valOrem duty
may check business for time, but
find that wool men in gen.
sral are takino the situation phil
Mr. Gooding said that so far as
lie knew no wool has yet been con-
racted for in Idaho this year. He
aid he had heard of sales in Utah
It f6 cents which was two or three
ents under the prices of last year.
t was too early, he said, to say
What the market will be this year.
Sheep i'm Good Condition
As to the condition of the sheep
lr. GO0ding is well pleased.
OF course, the season is late,
cry late. >" he said. but the sheep
ave wintered we'll and are in
me condition now. This is due
} the heavy feeding through the
inter. They have eaten immense
of hay. but the hay was
, be had and the sheep are all
ght. In some parts of my sec
on the lambing is over and has
cen unusually successful. | look
IT a prosperous year
S. w. Mcclure, former secre-
ry of the National Wool Grow
s association, is now in Wash
gton looking after the interests
the western wool growers.

K. P.'S MAKE MERRY
ON APRIL FIRST
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION IN
SH0SHONE BY LIVE BUNCH
OF FUN MAKERS

There was not a dull moment
for anybody in the company OF ov-
er hundred ShOsbone people who
gathered with the local lodge of
the Knights of Pythias last Tues
day evening for the regular ami
versary celebration. These ami
y.ssary occasions are famous in the
annals of the town, for the lodge
membership, which includes its
choicest wits and wags, see to that
part of the business before the
house. For the present anniver-
sary a minstrel show and a mock
trial were put on, both fully up to
the high standard set for them
by the lodge.
In the minstrel show the end
men were Fred Gooding and Gus
Keefer, impersonated by j. w. Lun-
din and Earl Walker. Other local
celebrities were assigned to j. H.
Helman. Harry Thatcher, Glenn
Massey. Bert Bowler, John McFall
and E. H. Merrifield. They were
all in the regulation minstrel black.
Archie Bowler was the interlocu-
tor. At the conclusion of the min
strel show Hail Horne presented
Mr.. Bowler with a Past Chancel-
lor's Jewel in token of the high es-
TEEN of the membership for his
Jealous and faithful work for the
lodge covering a period of more
than ten years. Mr.. Bowler was
taken completely by surprise, but
gracefully acknowledged the COM |
Oliment which the gift carried.

wherein DR.. Charles Formaldehyde

of eleven Leghorn hens from the
coop of one Louie Zizzag Zug. Ed
Merrifield was the defendant, but
he stoutly declared that he was
the man who stole the chickens and
not the defendant at all. He want
ed to plead guilty but the Court
ruled that nothing like that went,
not in the Court knew himself,
and he thought he did. at the same
ime quoting ruling of Judge Wal
ers to the same effect. James II. !

Tlenn Massey the Court Clerk. with (
he stage name of Harry w. Ander
on. The calling of the docket e
evealed a vast amount of litiga-
ion involved in a vast amount of I
egal red tape. J. H. Helman was c
ngaged to defend the larcenist, his
ee being the very same chickens
taken by Zeller. As
urther complicating and beclOud-
lg the situation it was shown that
ne aforesaid fowls were really the
of Frank Glenn and the
efendant was set free in spite OF
whirlwind prosecution by j. w.

j in his impassioned appeal to the n

KEEN SATIRE Of
WENDELL EDITOR
LAMENTABLE CONDITIONS IN
DRY" TOWNS, ACCORDING
TO REAL AUTHORITIES
By A. D. Mulligan.

Of all the fool arguments set
out for consideration by an intelli-
gent people, those in the RichfieId
Recorder and the ShoshOne Journal
bead the list. The editors state
! therein that no local option cleo
ton should be held in the Rem
nant because it will cost from 81 .00
to $3.50 head for each voter.
What if it does. If the 'wets"
carry there would be at least two
saloons in Shoshone and one each
In jerome and Richfield. The Ii
cense from these four saloons
would, by the end of the first year
pay the election expenses. After
sAat, provided the 'drys' did not
pstitlon for an election, The big
revenue from the saloons would
maintain the public schools-in
part.
II is presumed that the license
would not be less than $500 a year
from each saloon. The one in
Jerome would, therefore, pay half
Of the school janitor's salary. The
ShOshone school would be in vast.
ly better condition financially. as
the two saloons would defray the
entire salary of their janitOr. This |
would be great help.
And besides that. a boozerian |
would put a lot of money in circu-
latiOn. No one knows where it |
would come from, hut it would |
come. It is a well established be-
lief in the minds of some that the
saloon is opened in a
town, everyone has more money and
through its magic influence begin
spending. After spending it. in
the same ineXplanable way, he has
more to spend. Everyone knows
that when a farmer or a mechanic
ines up with a half dozen fellows
and gets five treats and a buy un- ;
Ter his belt he at once becomes ,
more important and frequently has
/ million dollars. After having Z
wo or three around. they go out {
md buy things at all the stores.
In Wendell, the boarding of
money has become almost unbear- /
ibie. Almost every man YOU meet (
las scads of money hidden some +
where. In Jerome the condition Y
5 the same. If the ''wets" car r
y and Lyme Higgins opens his
ublic benefactOry with the clas-
lc igns-which were real use {
1l to attract the attention of the v
ustOmerS while making change
i this money would come out of o
ldlng and take its natural place g
! the world.
The sentiment in Jerome and =
hoshone, which has always been
idically prohibition, has veered l.
around. Such pro- l
1unced ''drys' as TORY Gund,
enry Hall, Jimmy Boutwell,. Sen
or Jordan, and Bob Hayes of
1catellO say that after having
.elr towns dry they are convinc-
that conditions are incompar-
'ly worse than when they had all
ose well-regulated saloons. The III
lis at Jerome and ShoshOne are
led and the daily drunken brawls
ID murders are in striking con-
asst to what it was before the sa-
Dns were put out. Of
Of course, if the county went he

self afterwards met me on the street
and extended his congratulations on
the assurance which he had heard
Mr.. Salisbury give me about the
postoffice. Now ! have told you the
exact truth about the matter.
1T is no any worse for me to be
disappointed in the matter of getting
this Office than it is for other dis
appointed candidates. But / have
heard that Mr Salisbury has denied
that he ever made me this promise
! object very strenuously to being put
in a position which makes the integ-
rity Of my statement about this mat
ter at all doubtful.
II might forgive Mr.. Saulsbury's
forgetfulness of all political services

forget any disappointment which has
come to- me in this matter. But It
does seem TO me unjust that Mr.. Sauls
bury should first voluntarily and ex-
plicitly promise me the appointment
and then without further communi-
cation with me refuse TO appoint me
and, on top Of all, that he should try
TO put me in a false position by deny
ing that he ever had made the
promise"
Mr.. Ford said he thought highly of
Mr. English, the appO.ntce. He has
been an active and useful Democrat
for the last four years he continued.
