ONLY THREE OBSTACLES.

There are only three obstacles to
an era of prosperity and development
in Idaho. They are high taxes, poll
tics and jack rabbits. Following GUS
tom the discussion OF high taxes will
gradually subside. From the first
Monday in January until the middle
OF February is the open season for
the discussion of high taxes. After
the middle of February the taxpayer
generally becomes reconciled and lets
1t go as a bad business disposed of
for the time being. 1t is too early
for politics but the aftermath of high
taxes is politics. They will be dis
cussed for a month and then we will
have a rest until the middle of the
summer One reassuring feature is
the fact that during all the talk the
jack rabbit has been slaughtered in
vast numbers. Hundreds of thousands
have been killed during the past three
months.
The outlook for the year is becom-
ing brighter. The Oregon Short Line
is preparing to complete the work OF
double tracking its line between Poca-
tello and Huntington. It also has a
number of other improvements pro-
wi uC CNbCHotVH VI AttN R0ttA-
NysSa line and the new passenger
depot at Pocatello are improvements
that will be under way within short
time. The state is pushing affairs in
connection with a number OF Carey
act projects and work win be resumed
on these within comparatively short
time.
The farmers have received good
prices for all the products of the
iarm During the past three or fouI
years they have stocked their farms
with sheep, cattle, hogs and horses
and the live stock exports of the state
will be much greater in the future
than in the past. The swine indus
try OF Idaho is becoming a great IN
dustry. During the past FIVE weeks
one shipper, Mr.. ]. L. Baker. has ship
ped thirty carloads Of hogs from cald'
well. Other nearby points have don'

Indictments carrying eight counts
were returned by the grand jury in
the United States district court Fri

of the defunct American National
bank OF Caldwell, and S. D. Simpson,
his brother, who was cashier of the

charged; misappropriation of the
banks funds, making of false entries,
and issuing bogus certificates of de-
post Seven counts charge S. D.
simpson with transportation Of the
banks funds and on four of them his
brother is jointly indicted.
One of the charges of misappropri-
alton carries with it a count for the
alleged making of false entry, and
that count holds against both men.
There is one charge of issuing bogus
certificates of deposit to the amount
of $500, and both bankers are in
dicted on that count.
Both of the Simpson brothers
are at liberty and under bond. Their
bonds will be continued in force until
the time for their trials. One of the
brothers is in Boise; the other in Tex

The indictments returned against
them specify definite transactions,
with dates on which they are alleged
to have occurred and the amounts
involved. They were returned after

THE CASE OF DOCTOR SMITH

Dr. Charles c. Smith, the osteopath
convicted OF causing the death of Miss
Clara F. Foy, principal of the King
Hill public schools, by system of
starvation, has been granted new
trial by the supreme court. The case
aroused great interest at the time.
Miss Foy was suffering from indiges-
ton. DR.. Smith undertook to effect
a cure by depriving her of food. She
tasted 40 days and died after other
physicians had been called. In the
decision granting new trial the SUI
preme court lays down rule by which
the trial OF future cases will be gov
erned in so far as expert testimony
is concerned. The court holds as
follows:
1T seems to be a sound and rea-
sonable rule and well established by
the authorities that the treatment of
a physician OF one particular school
is to be tested by the general princi-
Piles and practices of his school and
not by those of other schools. and
that a physician or surgeon is bound
to exercise such reasonable care and
skill as is possessed and exercied by
physicians and surgeons generally in
good standing of the same system OF
school or practice or theatment in the
locality or community OF his practice

Director Newell has stated that the
Reclamation Service has plenty of
money; Secretary Lane is eager to
Carey act projects; and yet neither of
them ever gives the north side Of the
Boise project consideration. The
north side was originally part of the
Payette- Boise project. In fact it was
the project. The south side present.
ed fewer obstacles to reclamation and
was undertaken first. Upon the plea
that there was not sufficient funds
at the disposal of the Reclamation
Service, and upon the theory that it
would advance their interests, the set
tiers on the north side were induced
by the Secretary Of the Interior and
officers of the Reclamation Service to
withdraw from the government pro-
ject. They took this action with the
assurance that such action would not
prejudice their claims upon the gov
eminent. AS soon as the government
was rid OF the north side it proceeded
to forget it. If the Reclamation Ser
vice has the funds, or will have them,
and the officials of the Department. OF
the Interior are eager to undertake
the completion of projects, why is
the north side of the Boise project
ignored? If ever the government Of
the United States was norta1ly obi
gated to complete an irrigation pro-
ject. it is obligated to complete the Pa
yette-Boise project. But aside from
all moral obligations why is this tract
of land forgotten? Here are nearly
a hundred thousand acres of land
as fertile as can be found in the
west. There is an ample supply Of
water. 1t is easily accessible, already
touched by steam or electric railways
on either side, and steam line run
ming through the body of land, While
the cost of water will be high the
north side is altogether one of the
most attractive reclamation projects
in the west. In spite of all this New
ell, Lane and others are fishing round
for opportunities to get in on Carey
act projects. There must be a rea-
son. What is it? The intention of
the Reclamation Act was to enable
the government to undertake the re-
clamation of tracts of land, public
lands, that private capital would not
undertake. The Carey act projects
have been undertaken by private cap
ital. 1t is true that the companies
have fallen down in a few instances
but other companies will take over
these projects. In the meantime, a
practical project, worthy in every re-
Spect, investigated by the govern
ment and pronounced good, is abso-
lutely abandoned. There is some
thing wrong in the Reclamation Ser
vice. AS Alex Ballantyne would say,
few heads ought to be made over,
Director Newell and the Service could
not lose if complete substitution were
practised in his case.

REMAINED DEEP IN SLUMBER
Porter Simply Associated Confusion
of Wreck With the Usual Noise
Of Coupling.

The limited express tore madly
along through the midnight darkness.
Suddenly the alert engineer sprang
to the lever and set the brakes. The
sparks flew from the rails as the
locked wheels slid along as with a
cry of pain. The lights were extin-
guished as car after car toppled from
the rails. Then came a shuddering
silence more terrible than the harsh
grating of iron on steel.
Some passengers made torches from
fragments of wreckage and searched
for dead and injured. A sound singu-
larly like snore issued from q pile
of debris. Hastily removing several
pieces of twisted iron. they dragged
forth a slumbering porter.
Great heavens!" they exclaimed.

PROFITABLE TO GRADE EGGS
When Eggs Are Sorted According
to Size and Color.

Even buyers at the country store
will appreciate your efforts If you will
sort your eggs according to size and
color. Graded eggs show up a great
deal better than those that are piled
in promiscuously, and should - and
will-command a better price If the
dealers attention is called to the fact,
and he is assured that your eggs will
be furnished that way all the time.
There are few, even OF country
stores. that would not be able to
command a higher price for uniform,
clean. fresh eggs, attractively picked,
and one that produces that kind the
year round can secure an advance in
the market price.

DRINKING PAN AND GRIT BOX

The accompanying illustration of a
combination drinking pan and grit
box appeared in a recent issue of
Successful Farming. The idea of ele-
waiting the drinking pan is to keep the
water clean and prevent litter being
scratched into it. The birds soon
learn to fly upon the perch in front
of the pan, to get the clear water.
The pan itself is made about three
inches deep, so that when the wa.

POULTRY
FACTS
COLONY HOUSES FOR WINTER
Some PouItrymen Arrange Summer
Coops In Suitable Manner for Use
During the Cold Weather.

When young birds are brought in
from the range we often find our
selves in need of more house room to
winter the increased flock.
There are several ways in which the
summer colony coops may be made to
piece out the winter houses If there
Is but one 1t may be placed close to
.he main house and used as an extra
scratching and exercising room. The
owls may then pass from the main
room to the addition by means of a
.ube constructed of boards and set
INTO the opening about 10 by 20 inches
N size, cut near the floor of each
building. dry goods box with top
aud bottom removed will answer nice
ly as connecting passageway.
Some people fit up the summer col
ony coops as laying rooms, arranging
all nests In them and thus leaving the
whole space in the main building for
use of the hens in the daytime. Still
others use the coops as busting rooms.
Especially do the early brooder houses
answer nicely for this, as there is usu-
ally plenty of sunlight. The dust may
be kept moist and free from trash and
so does not get into the food and water
vessels, as 1t often does when nesting
and feeding must be done in the same
room. Sometimes two or three of
these coops are used together for a
small flock, one being used for roost-
ing room, one for a nest room and
exercise. In each case they are joined
by wooden tube or passageway.
Some make their summer colony
coops of knockdown sections so ar
ranged that some five or six of them
may be set up together in one continu-
ous shed for sheltering the birds in
winter. Such a pen must either be
banked with straw or covered with pa
per for the winter to make it wind
proof. By the time the young birds
are ready for the colony houses an
other year the old ones are having
free run of the farm.

Senator LaFollette, in a recent
editorial points out justification
of the plant against high taxes in
Wisconsin, and puts the blame en-.
tirely on the present administra-
ton. McGovern thereupon accuses
LaFollette of taking this method of
revenge for a personal prudge !"
He states that LaFollette is more to
blame for the excessive appropria-
lions of the last Legislature than
himself, thereby picturing himself
as only an Ineffective fgurehead.

probably rather have real govern
