TO DIVIDE THE STATE
INTO TWO DISTRICTS
BILL BEFORE LEGISLATURE TO
INSURE CONGRESSMAN
FROM NORTH.

According to a Boise paper there
will be introduced IN the state senate
this week bill seeking to divide Ida
no into TWO congressional districts
and the location of Ada county in one
of these districts will be the pivot on
which a very interesting contest may
develop. 1t is said to be quite certain
that the present legislature will pass
a congressional district bill SO that at
the next general election congressman
from Idaho will be elected from sep
arate districts, which Is not the case
at the present time.
The proposed senate bill seeks to SO
divide this state creating two con-
gressional districts by drawing q
line from the southern portion of Can
yon county diagonally northeast across
the state, skirting Ada county's north
ern border line and following The
southern boundary lines of Boise and
Idaho counties to the Montana border
North of this diagonal line is to be
enc congressional district; south Of ii
is to be the other congressional dis
trict. The two proposed districts un
der this division have approximately
the same territory, the same popula
ton and the same valuation. North
Of this district will probably be known
as the northern district. South of til,
line will be the southern district,
/ Ada to Be Pivot.
4 1t is over the alloting of Ada county
the center of the population of the
state that a very interesting situa-
tion may develop. If Ada is satisfied
to remain in the southern district un
der this division the two district plar
may be put through without trouble
If, however, it is claimed, Ada count!
would prefer being in the northern
district, then there will be a scramble
for the Ada county section.
North Neglected Claimed.
At the present time the two con.
gressmen from Idaho represent tht
north and the south Congressman
Burton L. French is from Moscow
Congressman Addison T. Smith is from
Twin Falls In addition southern
Idaho has both United States senators
William E. Borah and James II. Bra
dy. After March next northern Ida
no will even be without congress
man for Robert M. McCracken vii
succeed Burton l.. French. Congress
NAME elect McCracken is from Boise
AS Congressman Smith is from Twi
Falls, the south has control of the en-
tire congressional delegation insofa
as residence is concerned.
Northern Idaho is not at all salts
fled with this arrangement and want
the state districted so that in the fu
ture its section of the state will a
least have one congressman.

The North and South Railroad and
Other Railroads
Lewiston Tribune)
(Lcwiston Tribune)

! Governor Alexander, as the chief
magistrate and having a clearer title
To speak for the state than any other
single voice, declares il would be good
policy to subscribe bonus Of half Z
million dollars to any one railway tha'
will do a desired piece Of construction
work The inference is obvious thel
that the state really needs more rail-
ways and is really friendly to the rail
ways The inference is irresistible
that it is not full crew laws, not rail-
way commission, not higher railway
taxes and lower railway rates and al
the rest of such propaganda that the
state needs, but more railways, Il
that is so, then why not say so and act
so? why beckcn to the roads witt
one hand, while carrying a big club fol
them in the other? The railway mer
are not fools, or yet children. They
know when and where to build or mo-
to do So They know that the legis.
Ilatiye sentiment of this day is unfay
orable to them, not consciously so blu
through an infatuation for the use o
the public power in depriving capita
of its Increment and even of its secur
ity. This is seen in the concrete H.
lustration that furnishes the text TO
these remarks, wherein men would g.
deep into their pockets to procure foI
the state the benefits of railway con
struction and railway facilities, and il
the next breath the same, or similar
men holding the power to do so woul,
enact statutes that would undo all tina
they had made 50 many sacrifices L
accomplish and discourage railWa,
building or other productive invest
ment in the state for another decad
or two.
The Tribune however IS great
pleased and encouraged at the sensi
BILE and substantial attitude taken b
Governor Alexander in behalf of stat
development and state progress. Unde

no good reason why the state shout
not emerge from the industrial paraly
sis by which it has been so long seize
since becoming a prey to the most in
ane and costly and consuming polite
that has ever afflicted a self governin
American state, bar none. We ca
continue to run all to shabby an
shifty politics, if that is what the peo
pie must have and Will have, but to d
SO we must make up our minds to d
without the railroads, without the'
vitalizing effects on values, on produc
ton, on consumption and on industr,
and do without other investors an
home9eekers and builders and devel
opers and all the rest Of the greatly
and constructive work that is, whe
all is said and done, the best and tn
fullest and most fructuous part an
end of human life.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-02-18

Attention is called TO an interview
with Governor Alexander printed, as
to its bearing not only on industrial
but on political matters. Governor
Alexander believes that anything the
state can do should be done to procure
the great and necessary facility OF
the north and south railway. He would
favor bonus OF half a million dollars
to procure the road and would give 10
per cent of his own possessions to that
end. That means something-it means
that the state is suffering greatly for
want Of this road, and that with this
road its difficulties would be largely
solved
On the other hand there is now be-
fore the legislature the proposition Of
what is known as the full crew bill
and unless sentiment has greatly
changed it will be enacted. Idaho is
asked to pass this law because other
states have It. This law will cost the
railways of the state as understood
from 100000 to 100000 year In UNI
necessary charges The north and
south road if built and if subsidized
for half million dollars, would be
taxed the full amount of such subsidy
within the next few years, by the OPP
erations Of this one bill alone. There
are other bills designed to restrict, to
penalize and to discourage the rail
roads, perhaps even more costly and
more foolhardy than the one referred
to.
The philosophy of these bills and OF
our current politics is based on the be-
lief that the railways, the utilities, the
corporations and the capitalists have
more r"we~ than they should have ant
must be taken In hand and rigidlH
regulated by the state. While reduc'
ing and limiting the charges they may
receive, we are constantly increasing
and adding to the charges they mus
pay 1t is held to be good public pol.
Icy to subject the railways and tht
other investors to drastic regulation
It appears, however, that much of this
harassment is dictated by sentimen
rather than by reason, and has NJ
plain or substantial purpose whatever
in view. An instance of this is fount
In the argument that Idaho SHOULD
pass this, that or the other law, no
because of any good that would comt
Of doing so, but simply because othe
states have such laws. 1t will b'
learned, however, that other state
having such laws find them to worl
badly or not at all, saying nothing o
the fact that other states have popu
lation, wealth, development and in
tense problems that Idaho does no
have and never will have, unless NOR
common sense is injected into its pol
itics and its government than has beer
known of recent years.

BUTTE 8 SUPERIOR
HAS RECORD EARNINGS
GREAT BUTTE ZINC MINE is NOW
EARNING AT RATE OF S.
100000 A YEAR.
New York Mining Age)

Butte & Superior broke all produc-
ton records in the month of January
and clinched more tightly its claim as
the worlds greatest zinc producer
There is no question but that this
Butte enterprise originally exploited
through 4 hunt for copper,is now tur.
ming out greater poundages of zinc
than almost any two other single pro.
perties in the world and is, moreover
able to earn profits on low prices for
spelter which would spell bankruptcy
to other companies. The present high
war famine price for zinc are register
ing almost fabulous earnings for tbs
company-over $22 per share per an
mum.
Production of Butte & Superior in
January amounted to nearly 100000
pounds of zinc in concentrates" Re-
coveries were also very high. They
amounted to SO per cent of the zinc ii
the ore, comparing with recoveries
around 80 per cent or under prevailing
heretofore. The high recoveries are
que to the new Janncy flotation ma
chimes designed by Chief Metallurgist
Janney and his assistants, of the Hay.
den-Stone organizations.
Good Work of Flotation.
The new Janney flotation machines
with their high extraction are particu-
larly opportune when the price of zinc
is up. Under high metal prices the
company finds more profit in obtain
Ing Il higher extraction of the meta
values in the ore rather than bet
ter quality of concentrate produced
When metal prices are low the com
pany finds it more. profitable to sacri
flee recoveries somewhat in favor OF
higher grade concentrate with mini
mum of silica, etc.
The improvements to the shaft hay
permitted the company to hoist l2O
tons of ore daily in comparison with
production of 100 tons heretofore.
is reported that 400 tons will be min
ed daily in February and operation

Many Farmers Decide to Grow
Less Cotton and More Cattle
New Life in the Work
EXCELLENT RESULTS OBTAINED
Bankers Offer to Loan Farmers of the
County $4,000 at Reduced Rate Of
Interest on Long Time Notes With
Which to Buy Cattle.
(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By r. M. Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Sentiment in favor of better live
stock is rapidly developing into action.
Gibson county farmers have decided
to grow less cotton and more cattle. A
movement started a few weeks ago
amongst the bankers of the county re-
suited in their offer to loan the farm
ers $15,000.00 at a reduced rate OF in
terest on long time notes. This slim
ulated the farmers into immediate ac-
ton. A committee was appointed to
decide whether or not efforts should
be confined to one breed of cattle and
If so, which one. The committee de-
cided unanimously in favor of the
Hereford. A buying committee was
appointed and as. soon as cattle could
be located they started after them.
Each banker looked after his own pa
irons. Notes were given by the farm
ers, placing at the disposal of the
buying committee sums varying in
amounts according to the kind and
number of cattle wanted. The notes
were made for $4,000 for bulls, and
100000 for bred heifers and cows, so
that there would be safe margin.
The bankers decided to allow one of
their number to handle the entire sum.
When all of the notes We're in, each
of the other banks mailed checks for
the respective amounts to the bank
selected and the buying committee
drew a draft on this bank for the en-
tire amount
The cattle were located in Western
Missouri and consisted of bulls rang
ing in ages from IL to Is months, bred
heifers, and a number of COWS with
calves at foot and bred again, totaling
IS head exclusive of the young calves.
They arrived home in excellent shape
and with two more calves than they
started with, both in good spirits.
These cattle were bought in small
lots; on the average, not more than
two head going to one man. Upon
their arrival home they were greeted
by very much excited crowd. AS
they marched up the main street of
town they created more excitement
than a circus parade.
Prices were adjusted by the COM
mitee according to relative values Of
animals, and a price placed upon each
animal. The freight costs and other
expenses were prorated in accordance
with the prices on animals since the
prices correspondent very we'll with
the size and -weight Of animals. The
average cost, including all expenses,
was $4,000 per head.

SAVE MORE OF THE CORN
CROP

(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
The wonderful prospects for the
greatest corn crop in years in the state
have been somewhat shaken by the
storms of the past few weeks, Many
fields are now blown fiat, or twisted
and entangled until much of the corn
will be lost. Lucky is the man who
has had foresight enough to build a
silo. With the unusual growth of the
corn crop this year, due to the excellent
season, there is forage enough in the
fields to winter ten times as many
cattle as we have ever kept on the
average farm, were it preserved in
the silo.
An investment in the price of silo
is the greatest insurance policy
farmer can hold against drought and
storms. Only last year the corn crop
in many instances was complete
failure, due to the severe drought. Mr..
VIII Parrish, Terrell, Tenn, had 1870
acres of corn. He had two silos, each
with a capacity of 1875 tons. His corn
did not make any ears at all. He put
40 acres Of it in the two silos Twenty
acres would have filed them ordinar-
lily. The remaining 140 acres he left
standing because it had no ears and
he had no way to save it. He fed the
silage to steers and they paid him Sc
per ton for it, or $50 per acre. He re-
ceived $36 per acre for the 40 acres,
and the 140 acres were total loss.
Put up cheap silo and save some of.
this loss.

POULTRY CLUB WORK
GROWS IN THE STATE
(By r. N. Crane, Division of Exten

(By r. N. Crane, Division of Exten-
sion, Univ ersity of Tennessee.)
September 20 to rs staged the State
Fair at Nashville. The show was a
success in every respect. The dis
plays of the Federal Clubs-embracing
Corn Clubs, Canning Clubs and PouI-
try Clubs-were well represented.
Perhaps no other display on the
grounds caused so much comment as
the Poultry Club exhibit in the Poul-
try Show building. 1t consisted of
246 fowls, divided among 81 breeds
and varieties, winning 1925 in prizes.
These fowls were grown and exhibited
by the boys and girls of Tennessee
from 10 to Is years of age. They rep
resented 46 f1ocks of purebred poultry
on as many farms. Every boy and
Sirl in the S cate should at once find
CIT if a club exists in his or her coup
ty, and if so, at once affiliate him or
herself with same, and if not, get into
communication with the State Agent
