AID
FOR LIVESTOCK
SHOW IS ASKED
Proposal to Be Submitted to
the Legislature for the
Adoption of Tax Levy
Plan.

In order to secure for the Northwest
Livestock show permanent appropri-
alton the, next legislature may adopt a
tax levy plan. Paul Clagstone, secre-
tary of the show. gave out a statement
on his return to Lewiston to that effect
He is greatly pleased over the assist
ance given the show by the livestock
sanitary board.
Il feel much gratified by the success
of my trip to Boise" said Mr.. GLADSTONE.
THE $4,000 which the livestock veteri-
nary board set aside for us will be of
the very greatest possible assistance.
The board has each year spent several
hundred dollars in safeguarding the
livestock interests of the state by rigid
inspection and other measures during
our show, a course which is specifically
provided for by statute. 1t was brought
to their attention that expenses in this
direction would this year be far heavier
than ever before, in view of the record
breaking number of entries, and that to
provide for the proper arrangement and
sanitation of stalls, watchmen and the
many other expenses along the line of
protecting Idaho livestock from disease

trains of this length or greater. Pas
senger trains through the tunnel would
be chiefly the through transcontinental
express trains. Eventually some local
traffic between the east side and west
side of the mountain may develop, but
is never likely to become considerable.
Operating trains through this tunnel
ON the absolute block system, with its
light grades and with its long tangents
trains could safely be spaced much
closer together. than they could on the
outside lines over the mountains.
Another factor of great Importance in
considering the capacity of such a tun-
mel is that it should be possible to
operate it with an approximately uni
form flow of traffic through the "a
hours of the day. on an ordinary
railway the traffic has often as sharp
peak loads during the 24-hour period
as the load curve of an electric light
ing station. Such load peaks are nee
essary in handling local passenger and
suburban traffic. and to a consider
able extent in local freight traffic. They
are not necessary. however. in ham
ding through traffic. The Chicago,
electric operation on its Idaho and
Montana division, put in operation,
probably for the first time in the his
tory of American railroading, the plan
of so distributing its train movements
as to give an approximately uniform
train movement throughout the day. 1t
was necessary to do this in order to
purchase the electric power at a fav-
orable figure, and in the movement of
the through traffic, which constitutes
the chief business of the line, no great
difficulty appears to have been found
in putting the system into operation
1t Is self-evident that where traffic
can be thus equally distributed, the ca
pacity of a double-track railway is
enormous. With trains spaced no coser
together than 10 minutes and uniform
train movement through the "a hours,

and would probably leave US badly Drip
pied after the show.
TO GIVE ASSISTANCE.
After careful consideration OF all
these circumstances the board on Fri
day decided to assist us this year, es
pecially as 1t seems to be the general
belief that at the coming session Of thel
legislature we will obtain a liberal APP
preparation, which will place us In a
more independent position permanent

inclined to help US in any way that was
proper. all members. including some
from the southeast voting to take the
action finally decided on.

much interested in our obtaining what
ever help the board could legally give
us, but is ready to aid us in any way
that may be possible to obtain an ap-
preparation from the legislature this
winter. / found southern legislators
inclined, and devoted a large
part of my time to discussing the sit

this may be secured by a state levy.

ing an appropriation from each sue

into consideration, feel that we have
much better prospects for state aid Of

AS A FARM WOMAN VIEWS LIFE.
Her Outlook Is Declared Never Sc

From the lips of Mrs. w. A. Warner,

point, in striking address delivered
before the delegates of the Information
al Farm Congress at FL Paso
The United States government APP

THE motor car is doing more to
emancipate the women of the farm
than any other invention of the ages
"Woman's masterpiece, like Gods, is

conditions. man never can be perfect.
Land was never worth three cents
an acre until some woman came and
made a home on 1t.
Men make the laws from their own

Golden Jubilee Of the National Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry

Washington, Nov. 17.-Thousands of
sturdy American farmers with their
wives and daughters are the honored
guests of the national capital this
week on the occasion of the annual
meeting and golden jubilee celebration
or the National Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry. in whose ranks are en-
rolled more than million of the most
practical agricultural experts in the
world. The meeting is to be devoted
largely to the celebration of the fiji
tieth anniversary of the organization
and at the several sessions a num-
Der of speakers of national prominence
are to be heard.
The National Grange originated in
the mind Of o. II. Kelley, a man of
New England birth, who went to Min
nesota In his early manhood and be-
came a farmer. In 1884 he was APP
pointed clerk in the department of
agriculture in Washington.
In January, 1865, Mr. Kelley was
commissioned by Isaac Newton, COM
missioner of agriculture, to visit the
southern states for the purpose of OBJ
tanning statistical and other informa-
ton in regard to the condition of the
south. While travelling in this ca
pacity the thought of a secret society

moved. Taking in connection with
this figure the enormous tonnage of
freight now handled in single train,

of the Cascade tunnel would be ample
to take care of all the business trib-
utary to it for as long a period OF time
as can be foreseen.

One counter'suggestion advanced by the
uncompromislng Progressive group was for
the Republicans to go ahead and nominate
Hughes and the Progresslves TO choose
Roosevelt. Then. IL the acceptance state
ment by Hughes sufficiently supports the
Rooseveltian brand of preparedness and
Americanism, It Is figured Colonel Roosevelt
will withdraw acceptance of the Progressive
nomination and throw support to the JUS
tice. 1t was pointed out today that the
Colonel has all along maintained that he
was fighting for a certain set of principles;
that In his St. Louis speech for instance
he said he accepted support solely in the
knowledge that this support came through
the approval OF the principles for which he
stood and not necessarily OF approval OF
him personally

ProgressiYe-have about given up hope OF
