GREAT PROGRESS
HAS BEEN MADE
MUCH LAND HAS BEEN CLEARED
FOR CULTIVATION IN THE
DEARY SECTION.
Fruit Growers Have Organized There
With View of Securing Better
Markets for Their Output.

DEARY, Idaho, May 25.-(Special.) }
One 113-acre farm developed each
month since November /, 1912, when
the Potlatch Lumber company began
to cut off the yellow pine south of
Deary marks the increase of lands
available for cultivation in that up
per country. This means that since
the time of beginning operations in
that particular section, over 1000
acres of dense timber has been re-
duced to stump land which is the first
step in the transformation Of forests
into fields of waving grain. 1t means a
larger aggregate crop, greater ton
more wealth brought into the section
from outside sources.
Fruit Growers Organize.
At meeting of interested berry
growers held at the office of the La.
tab Realty company Saturday, it was
practically determined to organize a
fruit growers association for the pur-
pose of uniting this territory with the
fruit growers of the older sections
and in order that a cannery may be
erected for the purpose of taking care
of the surplus fruit Of the Upper Pot
latch. 1t is coming to be realized that
in order to make the lands worth the
they can be worth, it will be
to grow on it such commod
tiles as will bring the greatest re-
turns. 1t has been proven that all the
way from $50 to 5000 per acre has
been derived from berry and small
fruit lands, and with this knowledge |
before them, the fruit enthusiasts are
determined to so organize themselves |
hat they will be certain of securing
l market.

Government officials admitted today

Politics ,in Short Skirts

It is curious fact that the rfva.ry Of Bonar Law and H. Fl. Asquith, the leaders of England's two great political parties, should be replaced in a small way in society circles by the young daughters of the politicians. Both Isabel Bonar Law, the only daughter of the un- ionist leader, and Elizabeth Asquith, tho younger daughter of the premier, are among this seasons debutantes and have been presented at court.
 The rivaldy of two young girls in similar positions in the United Sta tes would be a small matter, but both Miss Bonar Law ana Miss Asquith take their missions in nfe seriously. In this country 1t is no uncommon thing to find even girls as young as these taking a keen interest in politics. Miss Asquith has already made her appearance on the public platform. delivering a scathing attack upon the Ulster policy of the. unionist party. but Miss Bonar Law has yet to obtain her lather s consent to~a opening broadside. Indeed, up to the present tine, honors seem to be with the premier's daughter all along the line, for she is already an ac- complished golfer and has flown over southampton water in a waterplane.

Kitchener and His Ambition

The return of Lord Kitchener to Eng iand at this moment while more or less in the nature of much-needed holiday, is not rneonneeted with the greatest de- sire of,his life. One of his closest friends : some months ago told the writer that the field marshal, who has, of course, just been raised to the rank of an earl in the peerage, would never rest until he be- came viceroy of India. That has been his greatest ambition since the memorable days when he was commander-in-chief of the British forces there and Lord Curzon, with his American wife, the daughter of Levi Letter of Chicago, was viceroy. The soldier and the statesman had famous quarrel in those days, end ing in the latter being recalled.
 Those who know Kitchener's enormous influence with King George and Queen Mary and who realize the almost unlm- ited indirect power of the throne in Eng land today, are confident that Kitchener complete triumph cannot be long delayed. 1t is expected that Lerd Hardinge, the present viceroy. will soon announce his retirement to the Paris embassy lon ac- count of ill-health' and that Kitchener who, by the way, is not a favorite with the present government, will step into his shoes. There is no denying that affairs in India are in bad way, that wide spread revolt is possible at any moment,
