AN ARGUMENT AGAINST WAR

A blockade Of Mexican seaports
would be likely to cause stringency
in the chewing gum market" if a
pamphlet recently issued by the Pen
American bureau be good authority.
Conservative estimates place the
number of gum chewers in the United
States at 100000, and a wall of
stupendous proportions would go up
II their supply were suddenly cut
on, materially reduced, or the price
raised through shortage.
Recent statistics published by the
department of commerce show that
during the year 1913 the United
States imported 13,401,316 pounds
OF chic lie, which is the sap of the
sapote tree, and forms the basis of
practically all the chewing gum used
in the United States.
1t is estimated that 100000, 900
packages of gum are sold annually
in America, each containing five
pieces These placed end to end
would extend a distance of 71.O25
miles, or two and one-half times
around the globe.

IDAHO MAN PRISONER IN MEXICO

On information from refugees that
James Byington, the American i'm
prisoned at Cumpas, Sonora, Mexico,
without trial, was slowly dying of
neglect, another protest was sent to
the constitutionalists at Cumpas de-
handing immediate release of the
American. Refugees say Byington,
who is an old man and q native of
Boise, Idaho, is losing his mind be-
cause of cruelties.
The latest representation to the
Mexican authorities states it is ap-
parently not the intention to give
him a trial, and asks that he be set
at liberty. The charge against By
ington, on which it has been said
he was held without trial since last
August, involves the shipment of ore
from a mining claim. Refugees re-
port Byington is confined in an adobe

Mcconnell

Free Man
Judge Walters Sustains Motion to
Quash Information on
Irregularities

P. |. Mcconnell was on Tuesday,
the 2Sth, given his liberty by Judge
Walters, at Shoshone, when he sus-
tanned the motion of Chase A. Clark,
McConnel's attorney, to quash the in
formation on account of irregulari-
ties in the proceedings at the pre-
liminary examination, at Arco, before
Judge Otto B. Fleischer.
Mcconnell was charged with muir
Ter in the first degree, shortly after
killing Henry Williams, a wealthy
rancher of Little Lost river, with
whom Mcconnell had previously
been employed. The killing took
place on the 22nd of November, and
Mcconnell came to Mackay immedi-
ately to give himself over to the
authorities.
He was bound over at the prelim-
mary and later released on bonds,
since which time he has been work

WHY CANADA GETS THEM
(Statesnlan)

We have letter from a gentleman
living at Calgara, Canada, a former
resident of Idaho, who expresses sur
prise at the continued influx of set
tiers from the United States. He
points out number of possible rea-
sons for it, including governmental
encouragement offered there to en-
terprise. But with all this" he
adds, 81 cannot forget that Idaho
land is more productive than Alberta
land and that a farmer in Idaho
should do far better than a farmer
in Alberta so far as natural advant-
ages are concerned"
The reasons for this immigration
into Canada are not confined to cheap
land there or to American railroads,
as some claim There is widespread
dissatisfaction with many conditions
in this country.
We have too much politics, as con-
trasted with a minimum of it in Can
ada, where officials in most cases
serve for life during good behavior;
where justice means justice and not
favoritism on account of influence or
wealth; where there is firmness and
courage and not weakness and
cOwardice both of a constant bunt for
votes
We have too much agitation in this
country. 1t is torn by it continually,
embracing every conceivable subject
from high brow political economy to
fool reforms.
We have too much politics in our
judiciary, which is responsible for an
increased lack of popular confidence
in it.
We find it too difficult, usually i'm
possible, to secure development of en-
terprise of vast Importance, to the
public through state and national aid
A cry is raised against every bona
fide proposal on this score by the
unnecessary horde Of officeholders
who have sinecures at the public crib
and by others, more sincere. who
fear graft" largely because politi-
clans have drilled it into their souls
from motives that usually are any
thing but worthy.
We find settlers constantly an
noyed by the administration of our
land regulations, which are woefully
lacking in definiteness.
These are only few of the reasons
SO many people have left the United
States for Canada and why they are
still going

Railroad Sends
Out Call For
Big Potatoes
Shortage ten Ounce kind on Northern
Pacific Diners

Face to face with a potato famine
not a shortage of ordinary potatoes
but spuds weighing 10 ounces or more
the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, otherwise known as "The
Route of the Big Baked Potato" has
sent out an IS. o. S. call" to the
farmers of Montana in order that the
reputation of the line and that of
Pat Carney, "Montana's potato king"
may be sustained.
Unless a quantity of tubers-mur-
phies, if you plcase-each individ Ial
of which must weigh 10 ounces is Sc
cured at once, patrons who partake on
the company's diners will have to go
without altogether, or be satisfied for
time with smaller spuds.
William Gaffga of the Northern Pa
cific dining car service has telephoned
all over Montana for spuds but ne
cannot get a sack. He tried Billings,
but there was nothing doing in the
way of big spuds so he moved on to
Helena. Driven to desperation he
there made canvass of every store
in the capital city in order to get
enough potatoes to supply the dining
cars. He paid as high as cents
per pound for the tubers and as high
as SO per bushel. These prices, of
course, were for 10-ounce potatoes
The Northern Pacific operates so
or more dining cars on it's trains
plying between the east and the
coast. In addition there are AZ eat
ing houses supported by the company.
The concern will not serve a potato
in it's dining cars weighing less than
10 ounces and they must be of very
best quality In the eating houses,
however, smaller potato is served,
but of just as good variety.
So in view of the threatened famine
this is a bit of advice to Billings mer-
chants or anyone else who has a celler
full of potatoes. Put the boy at
work. Let him sort the whole pile
and pick out the big ones. They
are worth almost their weight in
gold.-Billings Journal. p

UNDERGROUND

Violet said to the daisy,
Something is setting me crazy.
Something is itching me top and toe,
seems that the itching will never
go!"
Maybe the daisy whispers cried.
THE bonds of our prison have been
united,
And we are starting to grow"
The crocus heard, the coltsfoot, too,
And the bluet dreaming it's dream of
blue. wzU
And the valley lily and meadown
rose,
And the bloodwort ventured, "My
goodness knows,
It's surely contagious, for can feel
A Jingle down in my very heel
From the tip of my very nose!"
Some one listened above the ground
Unto the strange and cerie sound,
And ran home telling the world along
In Whit of beauty he tied in song,
That the itch for spring had begun
to start
Wherever the blossoms of beauty
throng,
And he felt it, too, in his hungry
heart Sun.

INDIANA PROGRESSIVES

The progressives ran over in Indi-

pulled into her dock with the scalps
of more wild beasts in a certain belt

beautiful birds waving over GER

But, we are bound to say the supes

wanted. We say substance for with

The old reading was changed. It
was no longer, Cali men are created

alienable rights, among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness" and was made to read:
There is but one real man, and he
is so endowed that it is his right
to expect that all other men shall
minister to his lust for power and
display, to insure his liberty to call
those who do not agree with him
liars, in the pursuit of his happiness. !"
And the supes made a platform
to suit him.
The party that suited him exactly

mind since.

CAREY LANDS IN IDAHO

Stephen D. Taylor retired from the
position of Carey act manager for the
state land department at the close OF
business Thursday, and this morning
he will assume the duties of private
secretary to Governor Haines.
At meeting of the land board in
the afternoon Mr.. Taylor rendered his
resignation from the office he has
held for the past year, and the resig-
nation was accepted. 1t was an
nounced later that no appointment
would be made to succeed Mr.. Taylor
in this position. In this way the state
will make a saving of this salary of
5000 month. The work heretofore
done in Mr.. Taylor's department will
go back to the office of Register Ned
Jenness, where it was before B. P.
Shawhan was made Carey act mana
ger, almost three years ago.
Keep an Eye on the Work
1t is felt, too, that Mr. Taylor in
his new position will be able to give
attention to this branch of the work,
and with his previous experience as
member of the land board and his
special study of Carey act matters in
the past year, will be able to render
good service.
AS secretary to the governor Mr.
Taylor will hold position that has
been vacant for several months, since
the resignation of Captain e. G..
Davis. He was stable auditor under
the last administration, and previous
to that time was we'll known news
paper man in Bonner county. His in
innate knowledge of men and affairs
will, it is argued, make him a valu-
able assistant to Governor Haines as
his private secretary.
Future of Carey Act Projects
Speaking of the work done by his
department in the past year and of
the future of the Carey act projects
in this and other western states, Mr..
Taylor said, Thursday evening, among
other interesting comments:
Il do not anticipate that there will
be any great amount of Carey act de-
velopment in the future, except to
complete the projects we now have,
and perhaps enlarge some Of them,
The money invested in Carey act pro-
jects is private capital, and private
capital cannot compete with the fed
eral government. Under the present
proposed method of selling water
rights to the settler without the pay
ment of interest, and with long time
payments, so the settlers annual pay
ment Will be less than an interest
charge, If he had to pay interest, on
2O-year plan, commencing payments
In five years, leaving Is years in
which to meet deferred payments, the
settler would be required to pay 6 |
2-3 per cent on his investment an
lually. At the end of 20 years by
)av'ng 2-3 per cent o. his principal |

for Is years, the settler will have
paid for his water right, and paid
for it at rate less than the interest
on the money, If he had to borrow.
AS say, private capital cannot COM
pete with the reclamation service
under such conditions, and conse-
quently | do not expect to see any
large investments in new Carey act
projects, and ! think that our future
activity under the old projects and
pehraps enlarge some of them.
Plays Important Part
Il do not mean to be understood by
this that the Carey act has been a
failure. On the contrary, l maintain
that it has been of immense value to
Idaho. A pointed out in my Deem
Der report, it has brought 100000
600 directly into the state of Idaho.
1t has reclaimed between 100000
and 100000 acres of land and put
$4,000 acres under actual cultiva-
tion. Allowing a 40-acre unit to a
farm, 100000 acres would provide
homes for 100000 families, and re-
suit in the building of splendid little
cities and the increasing of our trans
portation facilities.

Work for Uncle Sam

THE Carey act offered the only
avenue of development of our arid
lands on large scale at the time
congress enacted the law. The
country was not at that time ready
to accept the scheme of irrigation
development by the federal govern
ment by federal government Cong
ress now looks much more kindly up
on this proposition. The government
has already appropriated many mil
lions of dollars, and a bill is now be-
fore congress, with reasonable pros
pect of success, providing for the ap-
preparation of an additional $780,
100000.

Plans for the Future

Il am in ii accord with the plan
of Secretary Lane and Assistant Sec
rotary Jones, and Endorsed by Cover
nor Haines of this state. Let the fed
eral government take over and COM
plete our few Carey act projects that
are in distress, and also take up new
projects like the Black canyon pro-
iect. When in the course of two or
tt rec years the projects are COM
pleted, so that the lands can be pat
ented, then turn them into irrigation
districts, which in their completed
and patented state could issue bonds
bearing low rate of interest, with
the interest guaranteed by the
government. The proceeds of these
bonds could be used to pay back to
the reclamation fund the amount
that had been borrowed therefrom,
and the money thus returned to the
reclamation fund could be used for
new projects"

The driver had unhitched him and was endeavoring to make him get on his feet again. At this juncture a very attractive young woman walked unhesitatingly in between the ani- malls (the horse, I mean) legs and seiz- ing shaft pulled the wagon back from him.
