to the water company; it's actions
prove it. But where does the settler
come in? Did they think that we
would take their resolution to be
friedly? We do not need a mere
friendly mediator but we do need a
square DEAL Why did the governor
appoint a committee to investigate the
Carey act projects? Does he or the
land board make any use of this in
vestigation or the commissions adj
wise? Not in the Salmon River case,
at any rate. 1t is simply a few thou
sand thrown away.
The governor says further that a
prolonged law suit is the worst thing
that could happen to the tract
think that he has been misinformed
or is trying to bluff us into accepting
the boards proposal. Will our gov
ernor come out and explain himself
fully. You will note that the land
board has already put the proposed
compromise before the bondholders,
but not before the settlers as yet
That is their way of doing business,
the company first, last and all the
time, as the old saying goes.
VIII not our brothers, the working
class and the farmers, help us to elect
honest and fair state officials next
fall. We appeal to the voters of Ida
no. We were brought to your beau
tiful state by misrepresentation made
by the officials of the land board
when this project was opened. Do we
not deserve the protection of few
honest people. We brought our fam
lilies here to build our homes and in
crease the wealth of this great state.
Come every free-loving honest man
and woman and put a shoulder to the
wheel and roll our present officials
out of office.

THE GOVERNORS LETTER.

1t must be admitted that the COVER
nor did not create the conditions on
the Salmon tract, but | fail to see
where he has done anything to help
them. If he has he certainly is keep
ing his acts secret; but perhaps he
has reasons. If he approved of the
resolution of the land board to cut the
Salmon tract to the amount stated in
the resolution and have the poor, OPP
pressed settlers pay more for half
water right, he certainly is deceiving
himsely or trying to deceive us. We
must admit again that the land board
never has given us any encourage
ment except political verbage; but can
any fair minded man argue other than
that it is the boards duty as guar
dams of the Carey Act in Idaho, to
protect the states Carey act citizens.
Then, If the bondholders or the con-
struction company does not abide by
the contract with the state and set
tiers, it is the duty of the land board
to cancel the contract and not COM
pei the settlers to resort to the courts
themselves.
The governor says that if the reso-
luton is not accepted by the settlers,
his duties cease in the matter to a
certain extent My opinion is that the
land boards duties to the entrymen
never cease. He also says that no
one has been harmed, and again he is
wrong for he himself made tour of
the tract in midsummer and saw
thousands of acres burnt up for the
want of water.
The land board certainly is friendly

in the New Testament and once
grave" but left untranslated in the
revised version. 1t does not mean
lake of fire and birthstone, nor any
thing at all resembling that thought;
not in the slightest degree. Quite the
reverse. Instead of place of blaz-
ing fire, it is described in the context
as a state of darkness" Dob 1O:2D
instead of place where shrieks and
groans are heard, it is described in the
context as a place of silence" (Psa.
115:1O instead of representing in
any sense pain and suffering or re-
morse the context describes it as one
of forgetfulness (Psa SSH, 12).
There is no work, nor device, nor
knowledge in the grave (sheoD wheth-
er thou goest" (Eccles. 9:10).
Jacob said: 81 will go down into
the grave (sheol, helD unto my SON.
(Gen. 37:35). We ask DR.. Oliver:
Did Jacob think that his son Joseph
had gone to eternal torment? Is it
conceivable that Jacob expected to go
where the fires were a million times
hotter than earth's fires? (See Gen.
42:3S; 1929, 81. When job had
reached the crisis of his bitter expe-
riences, he exclaimed, ooh, that thou
wouldst hide me in the grave (sheol,
held, that thou wouldst keep
me secret until thy wrath be
past. that wouldst appoint me
set time, and remember
me" Dob 14:13). Is it possible DR..
Oliver, that poor Job prayed to go to
the place where devils with
o,,,f+t;,r f1or,,oc HxrrO,,ld tor
ture him to all eternity? Is it posi-
BILE to believe that Job prayed to go
where the FIERY worms would fasten
their fangs" in his back" forever?
Notice, now, that in Isa. 1879 and
in Jonah 2:2, it seemed so absurd,
according to the present accepted
meaning of the word "hell' that in
the margin OF modern Bibles the pub
fishers explain that it means grave.
(See l Cor. 1855 margin) Jesus is
spoken of as not being left in "hell'
(Acts 2:27; Psa 16:S-11). We ask.
is it possible that his sufferings there
during his brief stay were more
"frightful" than those on the cross ?
Why do you not tell the people, DR..
Oliver, that "hell" where the worm
dieth not and the fire is not quenched"
Mark 9:47:4S) is the translation of
the Greek word Gehenna, in Hebrew,
the Valley of Hinnon, the name Of
the dumping ground for all the gar
bage and dead animals and bodies of
detestable criminals, lying just out
side the city of Jerusalem? Why do
you not explain that nothing alive
was permitted to be thrown into it
and that to prevent typhoid and ma
laria the use of birthstone was con-
stantly employed and that the worms
of the fly-blown carcasses which hung
on the lodges did not die until the
work of destruction was completed?
Why do you not, DR.. Oliver, state
that this is evidently the same valley
referred to IN Rev. 1920; 20:10; 21:S,
as the lake of fire burning with brim-
stone? If a man must pluck OUT
an "eye" or "cut off" his "hand" or
foot" in order not to be least into
hell fire" is it not likely that only
religious fanatics will escape this
place if we are to draw literal CON
illusions from these statements? No
tice that in Rev. 20:13; l Cor. 1850
end Hosea 1874 hell" delivers ur
the dead" that is in it, and that
death and hell are cast into the lake

HUGHES OR BORAH IS
CHOICE IN MAINE
Pine Tree State Republicans VIII Send
Uninstructed Delegation to the Chi
cagO Convention.

PORTLAND, Me.-Maine Republi-
cans will send an uninstructed dele
cation to the Chicago convention.
Careful canvassing of all sections of
the state indicates that any attempt
to pledge the Pine Tree state delega-
ton to any candidate will be voted
down at the state convention here this
week. The state convention of Maine
Republicans is believed to be for Jus
tice Hughes, with Senator Borah OF
Idaho as second choice
Four years ago the state convention
instructed its delegates to the nation
al convention for Roosevelt. But at
that time there was no Progressive
party and the old-line Republicans
were hostile to President Taft because
of his stand on the reciprocity ques-
ton.

TAX COLLECTED

SEATTLE, Sept. IS - Alaska canneres will bo forced to pay into the treasury department of the Territory of Alaska. oyer three hundred thousand dollars for taxes levied by the Territorial officials.
 This is the result of the decision handed down by the Circuit Court Of Appeals recently in san Fran cisco. Taxes were levied against the canuery establishments operat- irg in Alaska waters. They refus- ed to pay, holding that the terri tnry RaI no power under the Or gauic Act to lew and collect taxes on fisheries. They contended that ex, lusiye power was lodged for taxing fisheries in the hands of the gCI ernment. The case was contest cd and a decision favorable to the Territory handed down by the judge in San Francisco.

FISHERY CONTROL
 ID BE CHANGED

SEATTLE, Scot. 1S-As a re- suit of he decision handed down by the Circuit Court iG San Francisco holding that the Territory of Alas ka had ne power to levy and col lect taxes on the fishing industry cperotine within the political con fines ~t the territory, it Is more than probable that bill will be
 introduced at the next session of congress asking thnt Alaska fisher ie be taken out o" the hands of the department of commerce.
 The movement to take Alaska fisheries from under the jurisdic- ton of the department of commerce is 5tOwtng. Some advocate plac- ing the jurisdictonaI power in the Territorial legislature and others ara strors for Federal control of the industry. In any event it Is not likely that the Federal government will cease It's scientific investiga- tiOns of the industry.
