Says prominent woman Of the state
who Is not overly fussy on this eugen-
&c business:
The state always has declined
to give control over matrimony ex-
clusively to the clergy why should
IL now be given to the doctors?
l would Nike to see man and
woman eugenlcally mated put up
alongside OF a man and woman who
married because they loved one
another truly. The love-mated pair
would be so far ahead of the other
that there would be no comparison.
There is a good amount OF horse
sense connected with that suggestion.
The doctors haven't asked for jurisdtc-
ton over the destinies of people who
are about to mate, and they offer no
assurance that such marriage would
be productive OF result insofar as prog
eny Is concerned, and In great many
respects union void OF children is
about as disappointing and discourag-
Ing as would be wreck that result
ed from disease. That is one way OF
looking at proposition. There are
many others.
Aside from that, II is noted that
people who have mated because they
had mutual affection and respect for
each other are about as satisfactorily
married as could possibly be any prize
pair OF the earth who had been inspect
ed, blue-labelled, branded and approved
as the goods. just like a ham that Is
''examined'' when the inspectors back
is turned.
1t is well enough to use caution
and legitimate measures, but enough
people take the uniucky end OF the
route even ON the precautionary end
OF the game Eugenics, reasonably APP
piled, might help. Ii could be no re-
narkable proof of protection against in
compatibility, infidelity, Inconsistency,
and other things that stack up the
misery on the individual who may have
backed into the matrimonial harness
too quick or too late. Those are
things that eugenics don't govern. They
are things over which the doctor has
not jurisdiction, nor the minister much
influence They are part OF the devil
ment of human nature, whether the
individual Is physically perfect or i'm
perfect
A sane measure with reasonable res
trictions might serve the purpose of
preventing some very disreputable and
mistaken alliances. Otherwise there
could be little real practical good In

THE sAcRIFlcE IN HOGS.

Oregonlan: In the last seven days
more than 1900 hogs have been re-
ceived at the Portland Union Stock
yapds. For the corresponding period a
year ago the number received was a lit
tie more than 5000 and two years ago
for the third week In January the mum
Der was a trifle fewer than 1000. These
figures are taken from the books OF
the stockyards company and are to be
relied upon.
Most OF us remember that seven
years ago hogs were selling on this
market at 10 cents a pound, live
weight. 1t will also be remembered
that during the following year sew
eral buyers We're sent to uhe middle
west in search of brood sows. which
We're bought and shipped TO oregon
carload after carload. The trouble
was that the hog market in Oregon
was so much higher than ever before
that almost everything that looked like
a hog was sent 10 the shambes. Hence
the high prices instead OF benefting US
as a whole were detriment, setting
the hog growers back two or three
years.
Now the large shipments come from
another cause.-the high price Of wheat,
for most of the hog growers depend
upon wheat to finish their hogs for
market. This could be done at a fair
profit with wheat at normal price;
when 1t scared up to the $3.50 mark
II meant a loss to feed 1t to hogs that
were worth something like cents a
pound
So again Oregon is being cleaned
out of hogs OF those reaching this
market and we understand the same
can be said OF Seattle, Tacoma and
Spokane, only proportionate few are
actually fit for slaughter. The rest
are shipped by the farmers and other
growers simply to save wintering them.
And the price Is falling day by day.
These abnormal conditions are to be
regretted. They arise largely from a
lack of business acumen among farm
ers. They do not think far enough
ahead. They have, II is true done
wonders in making Oregon hog pro
ducing state, thanks to the crusade for
more hogs that the stoclSyards and
packing house people have made. assist
ed very largely by the railways. But
another forward step must be made
by the farmers-they must net only
grow hogs; they must grow feed for
them. The idea that wheat is the
only feed or the best feed for making
pork Is fallacious. Just so long as the
farmers depend upon wheat we are la
BILE at any time to have conditions
arise as they exist at present.
The farmers. especially the small
farmers, should raise. so far as pos
sible, their own hog feed-alfalfa. corn
peas-anytihing for finishing. They
should not depend upon the wheat
growers. They should so conduct the
business as to buy wheat when the
market justifies, but to depend almost
solely upon It Is sheer folly.
II looks now as If next year we would
be sending east for brood sows again.
Surely II the present shipments con-
tinue for another month or two we
must Then we shall be back right
where We were seven years ago--start-
Ing anew in the business.
This Is all wrong. Three months
ago the northwest was In better shape
as to the hog business than ever be-
fore. Then came s1.50 wheat and we
are approaching the bottom fast.

Hawley appointed three Republicans on

OF all the suave operators, Speaker
Conner is entitled to the persimmons.
Bills or motions of great Importance
are handled under a suspension of
rules or by unanimous consent in what
appears an extremely mild manner and
with such dispatch that it is only JUS
tice to say of Speaker Conner that the
raise of an eyelid on his part or an
information of a word, all of which he
so carefully conceals to the point of
maidenly embarrassment, secures for
him the ability to put over every sus-
pension of rules or obtain unanimous
consent. Needless to say that this
helps in a wonderful degree to dispatch
the business OF the house. aside from
the splendid record he is forcing the
house to make in saving the printing

Pres. Day Tells of Plans-HOpes Time

Down in Moscow

The big smelter now being rehab-
ilitated by the Day interests under
direction of Jerome J. Day of Moscow
president of the company that pllr-
chased the property at Northport Wn.,
from the English owners, will be
ready for operation about the first
of the year, should nothing unforeseen
happen in the meantime to delay the
work Such was the statement Of Mr..
Day today.
Mr.. Day was reticent concerning the
operations but stated that the plant
when completed would snlelt an aver
age of 700 tons of ore daily and that
the capacity would probably be in
creased gradually to 1000 tons daily
as the conditions justified. He stated
that about 200 men were engaged in
reconstructing the smelter under the
eye Of an expert Pittsburg engineer.
Northport has taken on a new lease
of life and the town promises to be an
important point following the resump-
ton of operations. The Day inter
ests will establish bank there and
already new business houses are con-
templating entering the field. The ores
of the Hercules and Tamarack and
Custer properties will be treated at
Northport. Owing to the vast detail
work in connection with the plans, Mr..
Day must necessarily spend much OF
his time there.
'But it's a pleasure to get back into
Moscow and rest" said Mr.. Day. Il

for an indefinite period and enjoy the
fine atmosphere, the hills and the

DELINQUENT TAXES
In LATAH COUNTY
ASSESSOR VENNIGERHOLZ AUTH
ORIZED TO COLLECT DELINQU-

Big Sum Piled up Since 19O1-Every
Legal Means be Used to Collect

Thousands of dollars worth of de-

of Assessor ]. G. Vennigerholz be col
! lected and turned into the Golfers OF
the county. Recently in his report
Expert Byron Defenbach recommend
ed to the county board that the de-
linquent taxes on personal property
since 1901 to the present time be n
celled, and the matter had been urdel
consideration by the county board, but
Assessor Vennigerholz promptly ad-
vised the board that he desired to first
determine whether such delinquent
taxes could be collected before can
collation. was made and the board
promptly turned over to him the rois
for collection.
Every legal means will be used to
gather in this large sum by Mr.. Ven
nigerholz He will at once send out
notices to all taxpayers, who are de-
linquent on the personal property
rolls calling on them to make pay
nrent promptly and failure to do so
will result in action being taken for
recovery by the county. Mr.. VenEi-
gerholz will scan the records closely
and will also employ the statutes pre-
venting payment of claims against the
county to persons who are delirouent.
Mr.. Vennigerholz is supported in
this contention by Section 1915 Of the
revised codes of Idaho which says
1.-THE commissioners shall not allow
claims against the county to any de-
linquent taxpayer 1t is the duty OF
the assessor to enforce the revenue
laws of the county in every particular
and delinquent taxpayers should not
blame the assessor for any action that
he may take to fulfill the duties re-
uuired of him under oath of office.
Mr.. Vennigerholz has been engag-
ed for several months in combing the
county for personal property taxes
and is meeting with marked success.
Up to the present time he has placed
100000 in personal
taxes on the rolls for this
year. This is more than double the
amount placed on the rolls by his
in office.
