not unexpeced as it has been known
for some time he intended to enter
the senatorial race. In announcing
his candidacy Mr.. French said:

IDAHO METAL OUTPUT
LAST YEAR WAS LARGE
Estimate Compiled by Geological Survey Shows
That Value Of all Metals Exceeded That Of
the Record Year Of 1906.

In 1918 the metal mine output of
Idaho was SO much increased that
the total value exceeded that Of the
record year, 1906, according to pre-
liminary estimatesNof G. N. Gerry,
of the United States Geological Sur
vey. The value Of the gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc mine produc-
tion was over $2S, 500, 900, an in
crease of over So, 1000, 900, or nearly
10 percent. Record productions
were made in silver, lead and zinc;
and substantial increases were made
in output of all metals but gold,
which remained close to the yield Of
1912, the figures for 1918 being
$1,373,000. The gold yield from
quartz mines, especially the De La
mar mine, which was closed in the
last part of the year, continued to
decrease. To compensate for this
loss, the gold output from dredging
continued to increase and that from
copper ore was greater since the
Lost Packer smelter was operated.
The mine yield of silver output
increased so per cent from 1884,
745 ounces in 1912 to about $780,
600 ounces in 1918, large increase
even over the previous record out
put of 1906. In silver output, the
state, which in 1913 had value of
nearly $6, 900, 900, was only exceed
ed by Nevada, Utah and Montana.
Nearly all this silver was derived
from lead ore and Concentrate, ship
ments of which were unusually
large.
The copper output from Idaho
mines increased from 1892, ,152
pounds in 1912 to about 9,312, 900
pounds in 1918. an increase of over

SHORT LINE PAID
$4,000 IN TAXES

Last Saturday was the last day for
paying taxes, and the county treasur-
er, as well as both banks In Mont
peiier, were kept pretty busy taking
in the coin ard issuing receipts TO
tax payers. In talking with Auditor
Broomhead the first of the week, he
said they had not yet had time to
check up the total receipts or To COM
pare them with the receipts Of former
years, but be was sitisfied that the
per centage of those who had paid
and the total amount received was
was fully up 70 the average In past
years.
The Oregon Short Line Railroad
company came through on the last
dap With > check for the nice little
sum Of $4,000, that being the total
tax for the year 1918. However,
something like 1920 Of this amount
will be refunded to the company. sa
Dir. BFoomtead informs us, owing u
an unnecessary special school levy
which WAS made by the trustees 0i

BIG BUSINESS OF
AMERICAN FARMER

Ten billions of dollars worth of
products from the American farm
in 1913 is quite respectable show
ing for young country. In suffic-
es to stagger imagination and beg
gar language. The immensity of
the figures at least serves to give
one some sort of a realizidg sense
that agriculture still remains the
worlds most stupenduous industry
and interest.
Not all of this unrealizable sum
represents the value of the crops.
They are rated by the department of
agriculture as worth S6, loo, 900, 900
leaving S8, $50, 600, 900 as the value
of animals killed and sold and of
auimal products. But even 50, the
the price set on the crops alone is
unprecedented and suggests sol
id land virtually universal founda-
tion for American prosperity in
1914.
The immensity of the value of
American farm products may per-
haps be better apprehended il fig
ures for several years be compared.
In 1880, the first year for which
statistics in this field are available
their value was given az $2,212, AGO
927; in 1900 as Sd All, ,069. .978; and
in 1912 as $8,417, ,00O, 900. In .
single generation, while the popula.
ton of the continental United States
has not quite doubled up the value
of its farm products has more thar
auadrupled. This fact hardly gives
conntenance to the belief that Amer
ican supplies of food are falling be
low the demands of increasing pop.
uIation. At the rate supplies a
we'll as their values are increasing
anU.a n generation should see yield
from Il American farm worth fit
billions of dollars.
The estimates and deductions 0
the department bring more comfor
to the producer than to the consun
er, and most pleasures to the nit
dleman. The farmer appears to b
assured of comparatively good pril
es for his products, but the reta
buyer must pay the middIeman fro
5 to nearly 500 per cent more tbs
the producer receives. There r

WILL IT Be DUBOIS
VS.. NUCENT?

In commenting upon the scrap
over the receivership of the Black
foot land office, the Boise corre-
sdondent for the Lewiston Tribune
says:
The real interest in this contro-
versy centers in the possibility of
Dubois being a candidate for the
senate with the open or tacit sup
port of the progressives. There
have been hints of this kind for the
past year. Bull Moose leaders are
not of one mind on the proposition,
but it is known here that there is a
powerful sentiment among the rank
and file of the Bull Moose for Du-
bois. This would mean, of course,
that the Mormon issue would be
forced TO the front in the campaign;
that Dubois would be put forward
as the champion of the crusaders
against the activity and influence of
Mormon church officials in the poll
tics of the state.
1t is an open secret here in the
capital that democrats opposed to
John f. Nugent for the senate are
negotiating with Dubois with q
view to bringing him out as demo-
cratic candidate in case it is decided
to keep Governor Hawley out of the
race. These men figure that with a
bitter fight on with the party be-
tween Hawley and Nugent the for
mer governor could not win at the
polls even should he secure the NOM
nation at the primary.
Then to prevent Nugent from
making a clean sweep in the party
the plan is to trot out Dubois
With the support of the anti-Nugeni
wing Of the democracy and the sup.
port, perhaps, of theiBull Moose it Ii
| figured that Dubois would be for
midabIe candidate. This scheme
has not taken definite shape as yet
It may never materialize. but il
the present state of unrest and poll
teal chaos it furnishes basis 70
much interesting speculation. !"

"a per cent. The three main fac
tors in the copper output were the
shipments of crude ore and concen-
trate from the Snow Storm mine at
Larson, the yield of copper ores
from the Empire. Copper property
at Mackay, and the copper matte
produced at the Lost Packer plant
at Ivers. Increased yield was made
from all these properties and divi-
dends were paid by the first and last.
Copper was also recovered from the
lead ores of Lemhi and Shoshone
counties.
The lead mine production increased
from 284 million pounds in 1912 to
nearly 311 million pounds in 1918,
or over 8 per cent. At the average
price for 1918, this total is valued
at more than $13, $780, 900. Probab-
~ 10 percent or the lead came from
the Occur d'Alene region of Sho-
shone county, and the remainder
from Lemhi, Fremont, Blaine and
Custer counties.
The record mine production of
of zinc ore and concentrates in Ida
no in 1918 increased the spelter out
put from IS. .905, 500 pounds in 1912
to 23,594,0 900 pounds in 1918, an in
crease of nearly 10 per cent.
Two smelling plants within the
state were active in 1918, one lead
plant at Clayton now owndd by the
Red Bird Smelling Co. and the other
a copper mating plant at Ivers.
Both are in Custer county. Four
dredges were operated, two at Ida
ho City and two in Lemhi county.
The construction of fifth one on
Bohannon Bar, Lemhi county, was
completed.

LARGE CROWDS
HEAR B. \. ROBERTS

The largest crowd that ever ~
sembled in the Montpelier Theatre
gathered there last Sunday evening
to hear B. Fl. Roberts, the noted
Utah orator. II was estimated that
nearly 900 people were packed IN
the theatre. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Bishop Hoff Of the
Second ward. and music was furn-
ished by the choirs of the two
wards. under the direction of Thor
Nielsen.
Mr.. Roberts took for his text,
The Nearness of God 10 Man, and
for an hour or more he held the Inn
mense audience In rapt attention.
while he presented clear and logic
al statements, both from scriptural
and scientific standpoints. proving
the omnipresence Of God. Altho
tired az result Of his journey and
ecclesiastical duties of the day, he
showed no signs Of Il from the plat
form and those who have heard him
speak at various times In the past
declared that his Sunday nights ad-
dress was the. best they had ever
heard him deliver. He did not at
tempt to preach the doctrines Of the
church Of Latter Day Saints, but
simply delivered a sermon which en-
lightened and delighted all who
heard 1t. regardless Of their relig.
iens beliefs.
Mr.. Roberts spoke In Paris Mon
day night, and in St Charles Tues
day night, and at both places the
the meeting houses were taxed u
their capacity by those who were
eager to hear the doctrines oi
Christianity expounded BY the elo-
quent speaker.
