Senator Brady may have subsidized
certain newspapers in Idaho. If he did
so he used his own money. He did not
make the people of Idaho foot the bill.
Governor Alexander has subsidized the
Capital News by relieving 1t of Char
ley Broxon.
The Capital News since its birth
has been bought and sold on the coun-
ter like any other kind of merchandise.
1t has prostituted itself at any and all
times, when the price was in evidence.
1t became so notorious that even Rich
ard Story Sheridan could stand it no
longer After a long hard fight he got
himself into control of the paper, af-
ter having served every lecher in the
state. When he secured the control he
published signed article in which he
admitted that the News had been rot
ten with corruption, but that hence
forth 1t would be decent. Since that
Time 1t has been a little worse than
ever before During all this time
| Charley Broxon was the editor of the
paper He is still its editor. He is
now the private secretary to the gov
ernor. Every taxpayer in Idaho must
/ tremble when such man Is placed on
guard in the state house. No other
than Alexander would have the nerve
to associate with the likes Of Broxon
and we advise the governor to watch
him at all times. He viii take advan-
tage of his position to betray him as
he has done to betray others, Farnk
Steunenberg, William E. Borah and
Paul Clagstone, as instances.

ROOSEVELT IN 1915.

A meeting of the leaders of the pro-
gressive party in Idaho (there seems
to be nobody left but leaders) was held
in Boise last Saturday. The purpose

said that the meeting was attended by

or privates) from various parts of the
state, but the only names that appear

THE FLoTATloN PROCESS.

No process of ore treatment in re-
cent years has attracted so much at
tention nor has been adopted with
more uniform success than flotation

d'Alene district by the National Cop
per Mining company and its success In
recovering the values during the brief

ton at once attracted the attention of
other companies, whose managers saw
an opportunity to overcome the losses
to which they were subjected. Par
ticularly those lead mines in which
there is large percentage of zinc
and zinc mines at once made expert
mental tests which proved so satlsfac-
tory that permanent flotation plants
were added to their milling equip
ments. In one mine high silver values
are being saved which could not be
recovered by the ordinary concentra-
ton methods. So successful has flo
tation proved in this district that since
the first installation at the National
hardly a year ago, no less than seven
plants have been installed and are now
in successful operation. And this is
but the beginning, for there are vast
deposits of low grade zinc and copper
ore in various parts of the district
which will unquestionably respond to
profitable treatment through the adop-
ton of this comparatively inexpensive
process. el3aE gEN 4
In response to inquiries made by the
Engineering and Mining Journal 81
mining companies reported the result
of their experience with the flotatior
process, and using the information
thus obtained as a basis for its con-
clusion the Journal says:
I'm general however, the data COM
municated to us indicates wide range
Of ores that are capable of treatment
by the flotation process. We think that
it is reasonably safe to say that near
ly 100000 tons of ore were treated
in North America in 1914 by the flo
tation process, and the production of
concentrates was, without any doubt
upward Of 10000 tons. These figures
are impressive, but they are below
those of Australia where the flotation
process received it's initial commercial
development and from where an inn
mense tonnage of floated blende con-
centrate has been derived annually in

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins Is an average man,
Not built in any particular plan.
Not blest with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full OF
pluck.
When asked a question he does not
guess
He knows and answers NO" or Yes"
When set to a task that the rest can't
do
He buckles down till he's put ii
through.
Three things he learned: That the man
who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That it pays TO know more than one
thing WE'LL
That it doesn't pay all he knows to tell,
For the man who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks,
Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes.
The man who wins Is the man who
tries.

NORTH AND SOUTH RAILROAD.

A resolution has been introduced in
the legislature by Representative Nc
Gowan, of Latah county, authorizing
the governor to appoint "a commission
of three members who shall serve
without pay and whose duties shall be
to investigate the possibility of secur
ing an extension of the railroad from
New Meadows. Idaho, now terminal
of the Idaho Northern railroad, to
Lewiston, Idaho; also to investigate
and determine whether or not 1t would
be more practical to build such north
and south connections via some other
route which may be determined upon
by investigation or In conference with
existing within or without the state
1t is further provided that this com
mission shall be selected from among
men more or less familiar with railroad
construction, and an additional duty
will be to determine whether or not
any existing railroad company viii
undertake such extension. The COM
mission will submit its report to the
legislature in 1917.
While the agitation for a railroad
connecting the northern and southern
sections of the state is not new, the
action now proposed Will place the
matter in more definite and practical
position. 1t places the state back Of
the enterprise and insures state aid in
the event that the proposed commits
sion finds the enterprise feasible. 1t
Is hardly possible to conceive of a
movement that will result In greater
direct and permanent benefit to the
state than the construction of north
and south railroad 1t would bring the
people of the north and south into
closer touch and foster a feeling of
common interest that is now lacking.
1t would forever silence the agitation,
mostly from the outside, for division
of the state 1t would make an inter-
change of products possible, and would
make the market afforded by the
Occur d'Alene mines available to the
agricultural products of the south, re-
sulting in mutual advantage, 1t would
be a long step toward the development
of central Idaho, section wonderfully
rich in gold, silver, copper and lead
and which only needs transportation
facilities to cause it to give up its
wealth, giving employment to thous-
ands of wage Gamers and providing the
best market for all products of the
farm.
The direct benefits that would follow
the construction of the proposed rail
road are so numerous and far-reachine
that this first preliminary step toward
its accomplishment should command
the enthusiastic support Of all members
Of the legislature,

We are told that Australia Is rapidly
being put on n cross bred basis; that In
our own country 1t is the crossbred
lamb that win be most profitable. The
crossbred lamb is all right. He makes
mutton fast and cheap-probably no
lamb excels him at that business But
we must look ahead farther than one or
two years. Those who have learned
by bitter experience that crossbred
ewes are uncertain and Improbable as
breeders are legion.
The man who will maintain his pure
bred or high grade breeding flock can
afford to take crop or two OF cross
bred lambs from them now and then.
The trouble Is too few of us will do
that We figure we can go out and buy
them when needed. But the chances
are they cannot be had when wanted

make. As general proposition the

two examples as affording at least a
