LONG time LOANS
TOLAND OWNERS
FEATURE OF BILL
Measure to Be Presented to
Session Of Legislature by
Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union.

Provision for long time loans will be
the feature of a measure to be intro
duced at the next session Of the leg
islature by the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union, while an
other bill to be championed by this
organization will call for the operation
OF cooperative farmers associations.
Northern Idaho legislators will cham
pion the two bills.
The loan measure will call for long
time loans Of state money on farm Sc
curities, the maximum of time for the
loan to run being 40 years, while other
maximums for loans will range from
10, 20 and 80 years. On a 20-year loan
the farmer would pay the interest and
per cent of the principal each year.
TO PLACE STATE MONEY.
This bill is but one of several to be
introduced during the next session
seeking to devise a plan by which
state money can be placed TO bring
Idaho a greater income and at the
same time accommodate the farmers.
Probably no plan has caused more
interest than the one laid before the
county commissioner by State Treas
lurer John W. Eagleson yesterday. A

big mass meeting was held at Rigby
the latter part Of last week where the
plan to bring about the creation of the

ture every effort was made to pass
the Butte county bill but failed At
the coming session many of those who
were against the bill two years ago
will be for it, including a number of
the senators and representatives. Their
attitude is said to assure it's passage.
Bridge measures are also showing
their heads. Aside from the Home
dale bridge, which will again be asked
for, one is wanted at OWsley's ferry,
The former bridge will help the Gem
irrigation district section and the lat
ter Hagerman valley and the Bruneau

Snake river. A third measure may
call for the construction OF bridge
across the Malad river on the state
highway between Hagerman and Bliss.

Safety Not First.

Our present-day civilization can
boast of many good and wonderful
things, but safety Is hardly one of its
blessings. The ancients seem to have
moved about in a paradise. Of safety
when we compare the simple condi-
tons of their life with our W com.
pick and dangerous environment. The
very richness Of modern life makes
the world a dangerous place in which
to live. The figures showing the num-
Der Of deaths from violence in recent
years is appalling. Last year, in the
United States alone, $4,000 persons
were killed in accidents Of one kind or
another, while nearly 1000, 900 more
were injured. About $4,000 workmen
were killed while It their tasks. On
the railroads Of the country absut
10000 persons are killed every year,
and 20 times that number are injured.
On the streets and roads 5000 deaths
are caused by vehicles, the automo-
bile being responsible for half the
number of victims."-St. Nicholas.

portunitfes for the investment of

Spain.
One of these is a proposed fast, di-
rect, electrically operated railroad from
the French frontier to Madrid to SUI

lows a roundabout route and differs

that a powerful Japanese syndicate,
says the Kobe Chronicle, has been
casting longing eyes on several large
sugar estates in the Philippines, and
particularly on the one owned by the
Dominican order Of friars in the fruit
full province of Laguna; and for the
last few weeks it has been known to
many that negotiations concerning the
latter were drawing to a close, and
that there was every probability of the
property of the Dominican order Of
friars going over to japanese ner-

completed, the transfer taking place
at midnight on February 7, when the
personal representative of the Japa-
rese syndicate, Mr.. K. Hada, took

Bell the Cat, Save Birds.

Mrs. Eugene J. Carrigan of Putin.
Bay, O., would save song birds from
cats by attaching a small bell to a
ribbon or string tied around the f.
line neck. The bell, she explains,
would give the bird warning Of the
cats approach and enable 1t to get
away.
Il have two pet CATS" says Mrs.
Carrigan, "and last summer I know
they caught and killed several hun
dred birds. They would ignore a
mouse any time to get a bird, and the
prettier the latter the better they
seemed to like it.
Mrs. Carrigan will endeavor to start
a nationwide movement in behalf of
birds by inducing owner of cats to
employ the bell as a means Of giving
warning when attack is contemplated
by cats.
