PASSING OF THE PRoeREsslvEs

The progressive party has gone the
way of the greenback, populist, silver
republican and other political parties
which for a time posed as the only
medium through which the people
could be saved from the elements that
controlled the old organizations and
which were slowly but surely robblng
the people of the birthrights handed
down to them by the fathers of the
country. 1t is idle now to discuss the
motives which prompted the organiza
ton of the progressive party, or to of.
fer opinion as to whether 1t performed
a beneficial service. Those are ques-
lions which would naturally develop
widely divergent opinions, and could
have no other result than to make
more difficult and cause delay in the
final reunion which will eventually
take place between the progressives
and republicans. There has never beer
any material difference between the
two parties so far as their Fundamental
principles are concerned. and both have
in the democratic party common en-
emy. The division in the republican
party gave the country the present
democratic administration, and the on
ly hope the democratic party now has
for the retention of power is based
upon a continuation Of that division.
The returns from the recent elections
show that the great body of the pro-
gressives have returned to the repub-
lican party, and 1t is now up to the
of the bull moose organization
to come in and make the reunion
unanimous. Then will the republi
can party present a united front and
success will be assured in 1915.

MEETING THE PEOPLE.

| When Governor-e Moses Alexan-
der started on the tour Of the state
he stated he w;.s doing it because he
wanted to meet the people and hear
from them first hand the needs of the
various sections of the state; thai
they could not afford to come to him.
so he proposed to go to them. This
announcement was well received, and
indicated that the new governor wa,
moved by a real desire to get in close
touch with the masses and thereby
make HIS administration reflect their
wishes. Mr. Alexander was cordially
received in all the north Idaho coun-
ties and his conferences with all
classes of the people no doubt gave
him clear insight to local condi-
tions and win enable him to act more
intelligently upon many important
questions with which he will be call
ed upon to deal But for some rea-
son yet unexplained the governor
passed up Shoshone county. Probably
he places this county in class by
itself and assumes that If the people
here want to see their governor, they
are able to go to him. At any rate.
Il is understood that the governor was
met in Spokane by prominent citizens
Of this county, and the conference
seems to have resulted in supplying
Mr. Alexander with all the informa-
ton he desired regarding the needs

HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM,

The people of Wallace school dis
trict voted bond issue of $4,000 for
building and the equipment of gym
nasium in connection with 1t, the lat
ter to be open to the use of the public
under regulations prescribed by the
school trustees. There seemed to be a
pressing need for place of recreation
such as modern gymnasium affords,
particularly for young men, and in the
absence of the more deliberately equip
ped institutions such as the Y NJ c. A.,
il was believed the high school gymna-
stun would prove a most attractive
place for large number and of great
benefit to those who desired to take
advantage of the physical training
there provided The brief time the
gymnasium has been open has proved
the correctness Of this view. Both
young and middle-aged men have
shown an enthusiastic interest from
the start, forming a club which now
has a membership of upwards of zoo
and which will probably pass the 800
mark by the first of the year This
club meets twice a week for work un-

THE MINING OUTLOOK.

The advance in the price of lead ana
zinc have had beneficial effect upon
local business, but the lack OF denim
ite knowledge as to what has caused
the advance causes some doubt as 10
the permanency Of the increased
prices. If the advance Is In response
to a general business revival through
out the country which many news
papers, especially those friendly 70 the
national administration, profess to be-
lieve Is now taking place, then we may
expect not only a continuation OF
business Improvement, but general
revival of mining activity, both in the
way of development work on new pro-
perties and in an increased output
from productive mines. That there Is
a widespread feeling that the country
Is on the eve of an era Of prosperity Is
certain beyond question, and If there
is anything in the presidents famous
assertion that the business condition
of the country is merely the result Of
psychological phenomena, then the
dawn Of prosperity should soon make
its appearance in the eastern skies, for
the mental efforts of the people arr
pulling in that directions
It is expected that the operation Of
the new currency law will soon have
beneficial effect in making money
available for legitimate enterprise,
while the European war is making an
ver-increasing demand for many pro
ducts of this country. This demand is
sure to assume large proportions whe-
Their the war is of long or short dura-
ton, and will therefore play an i'm
portant part in improving business
conditions Of the country When the
country Is in prosperous condition
the miners of lead and zinc have the
best market for their products, and
from this standpoint the outlook for
the mines Of the Occur d'Alene may
be regarded as very satisfactory

from Mr.. Bankers paper is suggestive
Of anything but harmony in the board
meetings:
ut is Of no general concern whether
Governor elect Alexander wants an in
augural ball or not. but for him to
make plea to the dear peepur that
he is one Of them and wants to put on
no airs, is bit Of cheap demagoguery.
The state does not pay for the inau-
gural ball and If 1t was Mr. Alexander's
desire to leave the impression that by
not having one he was saving the state
money, he Is endeavoring to play 10
the grandstand in cheap way. The
inaugural ball is gotten up by Boise
people, the expenses are paid by the
participants and all that the governor
has to do Is to head the grand march
If he feels so disposed and go home
whenever he gets ready. The matter
Of holding the inaugural ball will prob
ably be decided by Boise people and
Governor elect Alexander will have
about as much to do with 1t as If he

YOUTH AND AGE.

(Ninette M. Lowater)
He is not young, although his years
be few,
Who is not glad when skies grow clear
and blue;
When from the south the winsome
spring returns
And earth is clothed with verdure soft
and new.
He is not young who, with unheeding
eye,
Sees the procession of fair days move
by,
Passing in golden glory down the west,
Nor feels his heart with happiness beat
high.
Nor is he old, though slow his step,
once free,
Who finds a temple In each stately
Whose soul rejoices in the scented
hours
With bird and flower and honey seek
ing bee.
He is not young who can in earth be-
hold
Only a stage where he wins place and
gold
But he who feels its wonder day by
day
Whate'er his years, he never can be
old.

Based on average coal ship

new rates will mean an annual
saving to the three big cities,
Seattle, Tacoma, and Spokane,
of $31,5O0O a year. Instances
of the coal movement from the

schedules submitted by the rail-
road to conform with the rate

CORN CROP SHOWS
A BIG INCREASE
output of Oregan, Washington
and Idaho More than Double
that of Last Year

Seattle August 5.-According
to estimates just compiled the
corn crop of the Pacific North
west, including Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, will reach a
total of 5,29s,OOO bushels as
compared with 2,975,OO in 1912.
Washington and Oregon will
furnish about 2,25O,O0O bushels
each, while the Idaho yield will
be 10000 bushels. The crop
is said to be in good condition at
the present time, though the
weld per acre will not be any
greater than last year. The in
creased crop is due to new acre
age devoted to the raising of
corn. Much credit for the ire
mendous addition to areo of corn
planted is due t 9th efforts of
the O-W. Railroad company
which, through itstraffic mana
ger, r. B. Miller, has waged q
persistent campaign among the
farmers of the northwest to in
duce them to raise corn, and it
is also due very largely to the
Corn Shows which were held
last December in Colfax and
Pendleton, where it was conclu-
sively demonstrated to thou
san DIS farmers that corn grow
ing could be made a most sue
cessful and profitable industry
try in the northwest. The in
structions given the visitors by
C. L. Smith, the company's ag-
riculturalist, on the possibilities
of their own particular district,
helped further in the success of
this years crop. The O-W. R.
& N. will hold a great North
west Corn Show this year at
Walla Walla, November 25 to
18th.

scientific men entirely outshadow the
'old-school' farmer when it comes 10
realizing returns from their farms.
Just as this pertains to agriculture it
IS equally as true regarding poultry rails

mongrel fowls, puts them on his farm

paying them any attention. expects the
BIRDS to yield a return. When they fail
on the job, he condemns poultry. and
Il 1t We're not for the privilege Of occa-

OF Old Sir Rooster, he would not allow
them on the place at all.
However, the experiment of RAISING

suits that the mOngrel is SLOWLY but
surely being eliminated from many
larmS, never to return again. Those
who have supplanted tho common fowl
with a better breed. are so elated over
ne increased profits derived thereby
