LIKED OUR BAND
Richfield Players Made Fine
Hit in ShOshOne

The Richfield Band covered it
self with glory, and brought ever
lasting credit to the town and to
the community, in its Shoshone
engagement July 3 and 4. There
is so frequently very close con-
nection between "dot Leetle Ger
man Band" and the brewery-but
that doesn't exist with the Rich
field players. Even above the Of
ficial and private commentator
they received for their willingness,
their promptness, their ability to
play, was the one of clear-eyed
sobriety and manliness. 1t is a
most gratifying testimonial to all
the players, and to the commun-
ity, that they were SO highly ap-
preciated for these points, at a
time and in a kind of engagement
that tries the equanimity of the
best of them.

more grain. And Mr. Taper
says that if he were to do all the
feeding himself, SO as to be able
to watch their progress carefully,
he would doubtless feed some
grain all winter, to keep the hogs
up little fatter and to make them
grow little faster. But he says
that for a purely financial plan,
this one of running them all win
ter on alfalfa hay is the one great
winner. His hogs, which sold for
an a average Of little better than
SIS apiece-and there were five or
six that he had not intended to ship,
as they were SO small and inferior,
but so much trouble to cut out
have made close to S14 worth Of
gain per head on alfalfa alone.
Where alfalfa can be raised to
yield 5 to 7 tons to the acre, and
can be fed out to stock SO profitab
ly as these hogs show it can be
done, there's a good chance for the
careful farmer to make some
money.

tically the whole growth has been
made on either alfalfa pasture, or

much more than dollars worth

SAVED HIS LEG.

Thomas ]. Ellis came home from
Salt Lake, Monday, and will prob
ably be at home permanently from
now on. He was thrown from a
gasoline speeder that was derailed
on the Hill City branch a year
ago, and his leg shockingly broken
and splintered. The doctors told
him that amputation as the only
way to save his life, but he insisted
that they should save the leg if it
were possible-and they have done
so, with marked success. He will
probably always limp, and his year
in the hospital has been sore trial
to an active man with a family to
care for, but he has stood it hero
ically, and now has reasonably
sound limb to carry him through
the rest of life. The many friends
of the family will rejoice that he
has come through the ordeal SO
well.

Game Warden Barber Let Out
Governor Makes Surprising Political Move- Dismsses
the Man Who Elected Him, After Long Series
of Disappointment and Evasons.

The rather surprising announce.
ment was made in the papers Sat.
urday morning that State Game
Warden Barber had been removed
from office and that ]. B. Gowen
of Caldwell had been put in his
place.
Mr.. Barber was out of town, at
the Hay Spur hatchery looking af-
ter his official duties, when the
governor and the new appointee
called at the Warden's office to
tell the glad good news. 1t is ex-
pected that he had beer informed
by this time.
The governor refused to make
any statement of reason for the
change, saying that he preferred
to leave that to Mr.. Barber him
self. 1t is not likely that Mr.. Bar
Der will make much if any state
ment. However, it is given out
around the state house that it is
because Barber has been in the can
didacy of D. w. Davis for COVER
nor, and since Davis refused, of
NJ. E. Lewis for the same nornina-
ton.
Barber was the first man of in
fluence in the state last year, to
take up the Haines candidacy; and
it is almost literally true that to
Barber alone was due the strong
and winning fight for the nornina-
ton. The governor, it is under
stood, has acknowledged this obli-
cation, quite publicly. After he
was elected, he was first going to

every definite promise, he seems to
have backed out, or begged off, un-
til Barber was willing to release
him; and then there was only the
game wardenship left, for which
Barber had no prediction. How
ever, he took it and though he

he has made an exceedingly effect
i've administrator; the best, prob
ably, in all the history of the state
But he seems to have retained his
own opinion of the governor who
had promised him so much and de-
livered SO little, and he claims the
right as a citizen to do his official
duty and still not be bound slave
to the appointive power.
1t seems to have been a colossal
political blunder-an action moth
ing short of idiotic-on the part Of
the governor, first to ALLEVIATE the
friendship of the man who made
him governor, and then to try to
censor his feelings afterward, and
lastly to welch out of paying even
the poor boon of the appointment
he had given in lieu of what had
been promised. Mr.. Barber is OF
sufficient strength and poise to
have filled the highest of the Of
fices proposed, most acceptably;
for the governor to back out of
what Mr. Barber deserved at his
hands, and to now slip up on him
and take back the little honor he
had 50 grudgingly given for SO
much unselfish service, is a quail
ity of governorship that is new in
Idaho-there has never been an
other who would do it!

AS the smoke of battle clears
away after the three state conven-
tions last week, there are good
many who wonder just what will
come of it all.
lAll the programs are progress
sive-distinctly SO. The Progress
sive is Of course the leader in rad
ical things. The Iowa injunction
and abatement law, compulsory
education in agriculture, domestic
science and manual training, guar
anteed bank deposits, commission
government for counties, reform of
court procedure, survey and bring
ing on to the tax roll the enormous
timber holdings of North Idaho,
the abolition of state superintend-
ent, bee Inspector seed inspector,
state veterinarian; water commits
sioners and state chemist, recall of
all officials (Which includes the ju-
diciary) are some Of the promises
The other two programs are only
a little less radical. Either of them
would make a pretty good pro-
progressive platform for any other
year than this.
The three are strikingly unani-
nous in demanding the abolition of
lot of offices, the reduction of
taxes, prohibition, workmen's COM
pensation bill, and other things.
There must have been a clairvoy-
ant in each of the conventions,
who knew just what the other fell
lows had in mind-and SO, all are
alike on SO many points.
The republicans have hardly been
able to say word without treading
on some of their own toes. The
platform would give one of the
"down-east' regulars the golliwops,
in its insistent admissions that there
are SO many things of the old re-
publican laws and officials that
need fixing. The public utilities
commission, the Carey Act mud
die, the duplication of many state
offices, the automobile tax law,
and a dozen measures of some kind
or other that the party has cham
pioned or at least passed, are con-
denned directly or by implication
1t is doubtful whether any other
state platform in the history of the
nation ever condemned itself and
its immediate past, as thoroughly
as did this one. What the effect
will be, remains to be seen. The

Biggest Fish Didn't Get Away
Duel to the Death Between Fisherman and Warlike

fact. The fish sailed into rock cove,
dragging the fisherman after him.
There the battle was renewed with
fury. Mr.. Swedenborg tried to choke
the big fish with both hands, but it bit
him and thrashed him with its tail until
foot. Finally, he got one arm around
the creature, and held it in strangle
hold with one hand and arm, while with
the other hand he got got his trusty big
jack-knife. Opening this with his teeth,
he attacked the fish that was mauling
him, and he had to cut its head half off
before he could subdue it.
The trout weighed ten and one-half
pounds, the biggest fish caught out of
the reservoir this year.

fore the National railways, being un-

the long war have rendered it impos-
sible to pay the interest, and, to make
matters still worse, tho Huerta govern
ment is unable to borrow money in any
of tho financial centers of the world.
The Constitutionalsts have let it be
known that if successful they will not
pay any debts incurred by Huerta, and
if we understand the policy of Presi-
dent Wilson, they will have the back
ing of this country in such refusal
The bondholders may ultimately re.
ceive what is due them, but the
prospects of immediate payment are
not bright.
The new year opens with the for
tunes of Mexico at low cbb. Without
money, credit or friends, it is hard to
conceive a worse condition than con-
fronts the torn and distracted republic.
Any change would necessarily be for
the better. Unfortunately there are
no signs Of an immediate change. The
Constitutionalists may eventually win,
but the road to the national capital is
long and rough, and it will take sew
eral months under the most favorable
circumstances to travel it. In the

them it is the Me1icens. They should
resolve first and foremost that the war
should end, then sec TO it that it does
end. Next they should resolve that the

and enforce their will. Comparatively

THE NEW YEARS CUSTOM.

Time was when men swore off on
New Years day; now they "swear
on. ~ At the stroke Of midnight, tell
ing us that the New Year has come,
the celebrant is expected TO have
comfortable "souse.' If the custom
were confined to men there would not
be so much menace in it, but the wom-
en- and the young girls Of the new
era believe that they are not up-to-
date unless they can begin the New
Year in the new fashion.
This vogue which has grown with
the popularity Of the cabarets has one
compensation-the headache. Few have
been inclined TO look upon the head
ache as in anywise a .beneft, but it
is not without its merits. The "souse"
of New Years eve is succeeded by the
headache Of New Years day, unless
the victim happens to sleep until
January .. Then repentance begins,
and no more do the verses Of Omar
about "The jug Of Vine" aud that
other bacchanalian cry, "Come fill the
cup and in the fires Of spring the
winter garments Of repentance fing,'
appeal to the stricken ones. On the
contrary, they VOW by their headache
