where the Austro. German and Bull
garian armies are about to merge,
are being slowly forced back.
In fact, all along the northern and
eastern frontiers of Serbia the in
vaders are making steady progress,
although at great cost, as the Serb
ians, now that they have reached the
hills are making them pay heavily
for every mile covered.
1t is only in the south, where the
French have joined the Serbians,
that the Bulgarians are being held.
Here the French and Serbians are
entrenching themselves and await
ing reinforcements, which they hope
will enable them to drive the Bulga-
rians out of Macedonia.
Great Britain and France, accord
ing to the Marquis of Lansdowne,
are preparing to strike blow for
blow, and hope eventually to receive
the support of Greece and Rumania,
although they are not depending up
on them.
Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign minister, told the house of COM
mons that Great Britian's offer to
cede Cyprus to Greece had lapsed, as
Greece had not filled her treaty obi
cations to Serbia. The British min.
lister at Athens is reported to be max

sEDITORIAl COMMENT.
THE AMENDMENTS.

? Two amendments to the state con-
stitutiSn will be voted on Tuesday
and both ought to pass. 1t requires
OILY majority to pass them, and
not two-thirds as in-~ome cases.
The convict labor amendment
seems to be opposed nowhere.
With organized labor a unit in its
support, with 80 per cent. Ct the
counties 10 partnership with the
State in building roads, a majority
for the convict roads amendment
would seem secure.
In the matter of the tax revision,
says the Louisville Times, the farmer
has been educated to the fact that
ninety cents out of every dollar col
-lected in taxes comes out of his
pocket. With that fact in mind. he
would be fool not to vote solidly
for change in the system. And the
Kentucky. farmer is not generally
credited with. being fool. AS for
the business men of the State, having
no.great liking for perjury and not
>being especially appealed to by con-
fSeation- their vote for the tax re-
vKfn amendment can be counted on
asa certainty.

1t has been suggested that as

proof of sincerity in now claim
ing to be progressive. the repub-
lican party nominate Roosevelt
for president. The old guard Of
the stand-pats have the chance of
a lifetime to show their real de-

why not, if they are sinceref
Because Senator Poindexter de-
serted the progressive party and
returned to the standpat minor

senate, and has lost his chairman

partment expenditures. Mr..
Poindexter now becomes one OF
the new republicans in congress,
and should he be continued in Of
fee, it would take years for him
to work up to any kind of a
standing in the senate. The de-
sire to hold office under any
party title will generally disqual-
ify a man from getting any valu-
able results for his constituents.
Speaking of the way in which
Governor Lister has given up

tention to the $4,000 steal from
the industrial insurance depart

of Olympia says: Governor Lis
ter's pertinacity, his mastery of
details, his we'll known advocacy of
the doctrine of business admin
istration of the states affairs, his
unquestioned ability and his own
personal earnestness and honesty,
insure the apprehension and con-
viction of those responsible for
these thefts. With his character
istic vigor and determination he
will see to it that they are sought
out and brought to justice, nor
will he rest until he has. Lister
would be the first man to kick out

Now is a good time for the re-
publicans to jump out and stop
the importation of wheat into this
country. They predicted for
years that this would come with
democratic tariff laws, and they
surely ought to seize the present
chance to show the evils of the
practice of dumping other coun-
tries wheat into our markets.
They might have some trouble in
locating the wheat, but either the
wheat is here and flooding our
markets, or they were mistaken
in their predictions. And they
were never mistaken-unless you
count Chicago and several other
times and places.
Steamboat travel remains the
safest method of transportation.
While cowcatchers and front axles
are busy gathering fragments of
human debris, and while motor
cycles, go-devils and Fords are
consuming the balance of the pop
ulation, the water craft have
killed less than 10 a week in the
entire United States during the
last 10 years, and only one out of
1882 persons carried is killed
or hurt on a steamboat.

tanned must be properly matured,
practically free from dirt, insect
pest, diseases, bruises and other
defects, and that all boxes con-
tanning apples not in said condi-
ton shall be marked "Inferior
or "Culls. - This provision of
the bill will protect the growers
of high grade apples in Washing
ton against inferior competition
with poorer grades grown in other
western states.
This bill was Immediately re-
ferred to the committee on
weights, coinage and measures of
which Congressman Dill is a
member. In speaking Of the bill
Mr.. Dill said:
"Apple-box bills similar to this
were introduced in the 63d con-
gress, but there was no member
on the committee from an apple
growing section to press the bill
forward for action sufficiently to
secure a vote. | believe there are
more individual apple growers in
my district than in any other
single district in the United
States, and / think the bill can be
passed. It's passage will be a
great benefit to the apple growers
of Washington, because it will
compel all apples competing with
Washington grown apples to come
to the same standard
President Wilson's desire to
have the cost of national pre-
paredness paid by internal taxes
is a sane solution of a much dis
cussed problem. When the peo-
pie realize that they are doing the
paying, frenzied expenditures will
cease, and we are more likely to
get value received. 1t is true
that the swollen fortunes and big
business do not relish this plan,
for they will pay accordingly, but
the president sees no reason why
the poor man should pay more in
proportion than the man of
wealth.

by the government and the various
states forbid the use of straw In the
packing of potatoes shipped from

the prevalence of the foot and mouth

This season there has been a great
many inquiries as to whether the law
would be violated with packing pota-
toes with hay or straw at the pres
ent time and G. M. Grissom, local
spud inspector for the o. S. L., sent
query to the officials of the road
and this morning came an answer by
wire from F. c. Manson to the effect
that straw or hay may be used at the
present time to pack potatoes and to
keep them from freezing as the quar-
antine has been removed.
Local dealers, shippers and grow
ers will be glad to learn that the re-
striction has been removed and the
telegram this morning will settle
many inquiries and discussions which
have been bothering shippers fol
some time.-Twin Falls Times.

Land Omen to Entry.

Arco, Idaho-There will be thrown
open for entry on Dec. %, 76,S00
acres of land that is directly tribu-
tary to Arco. This vast area Of land
is situated within a distance Of from
6 to "a miles south of Arco, In the
district known as the desert" where
dry farming has been carried on sue
cessfully for the last four or five
years.
Several thousand acres of this land
have already been filed on with what
is known as "possessory filings"
which filings are usually accepted by
the land office on account of the fact
that they are usually made In good
faith by the entrymen, and for that
reason the time of residence is often
figured from the time the possessory
filing is made.
Although many filings have been
made in this section there are yet
thousands and thousands of acres to
be had for the asking.
Filing on this land will be accepted
on and after Dec. s, but no filing:
will be granted until Dec. 2S, wher
the plats will be officially filed.
