What?

The Capital News of the 26th con-
tains the following dispatch under
an Emmett date line, which is i'm
portant if true: "Word, which can
be considered as quite reliable, has
reached here that the Guggenheim
syndicate has a squad of men inspect
ing the mining properties in the vi
cinity of Horseshoe Bend and Pearl
and also is taking options preparatory
to the erection of a smelter. 1t is
claimed that the low grade ore, of
which there is an unlimited amount,
will permit only treatment through
the smelling process and that the ore
contains no gases or substance which
would injure vegetation in the neigh
borhood of the smelter. This city is
considered the most available point
for the location of the plant"

TO OPEN new ROAD
WEST OF TOWN
Present Road to be Changed
to Run South of the
Railroad Tracks.

The wagon road from the west end
of Main street to the former George
Newman place opposite the canning
factory is to be changed so as to run
on the south side of the Idaho North
ern right of way.
The city took the initiative at a
meeting of the council Monday night,
when an ordinance was passed to
condemn right of way from the end
of Main street through the old laun-
dry property, a distance of 176 feet
and go feet wide. The measure pro-
vides for appraisement, assessment
and payment of damages to the own
er. The ownership, however, is some
what mixed. Barton Ferguson of
Shoshone has deed to the property,
while R. N. Cummings has a tax title.
The council will meet again Monday to
appoint five appraisers, who will as
sess the damages.
From the city limits, the county au-
thorities will extend the road to con-
meet with the present road at the
Newman place. This is done at the
request of the -Payette Lumber
company, and as no one VIII be in
convenienced by the change, the re-
quest will be granted. In fact, the
new road will have the advantage of
being safer to travel than the old
one, as the present crossing of the
railroad track has been considered
dangerous, and it will be still more
dangerous when the contemplated
side tracks for the sawmill are built.

A Calamity Narrowly Averted

If Deputy Horticultural Inspector
Tom Hance's eagle eye had not dis
covered that an egg of the Phthor-
imaea Operculella, which had been ex-
posed to the warm rays of the sun in
The Index window, had Matched that
dread insect might have been roam
ing over the country seeking what II
might devour and laying eggs for the
propagating of its species. This par
ticular pest vulgarly known as the
potato moth, had emerged from the
larva state in a tiny cocoon and had
developed into full grown moCh
when Mr.. Hance discovered it. 1t was
promptly decapitated, macerated and
incinerated. Peace to its ashes ana
may it stay dead.

numerous bruises besides the fractur-

Lost Valuable Horse

C. B. Knox, wife and daughter re-
turned Saturday from a two-weeks'
outing on Upper Squaw creek. Ow-
ing to high water in all streams,
fishing was not very good, but they
managed to keep the table supplied.
The day before they planned to begin
their homeward journey, Mr.. Knox's
fine light bay horse, which has been
on the City Tranfer line for many
years, was found on the range with
one leg broken, and it was found
necessary to kill it. 1t is supposed
the horse either stepped into badger
hole or else fell down an embankment.

The reading of the plank which
commended Roosevelt for his Ere
nunciation of the nomination for
presidency by the Progressive party
brought hearty applause from the
delegates which was second in vol
ume only to the cheers that greeted
the names of Hughes and Fairbanks.
The state land board was one of the
bones of contention in the entire
meeting of the resolutions committee.
1t was said early in the afternoon
that sensational plank would be
drafted in the resolutions, but the
plank as read in the report merely
dealt with the desire of the party for
complete reorganization of the
land department so that sufficient
safeguards may be thrown about the
handling of the assests of the state to
insure against the loss or impairment
of such funds.
"For many years the system under
which the lands of the state have been
managed and the money of the state
has been loaned has been subject to
criticism. With the manifold duties
devolving upon the officers having
charge of this department, it is inev-
liable that honest mistakes should oc-
cur. We believe that the money OF
the state is a sacred trust and should
be handled upon strict business prin-
ciples, suchs as are practiced IN the
private affairs of men. To this end
we recommend and pledge to the peo-
ple of the state of Idaho a complete
reorganization of the land department
so that sufficient safeguards may be
thrown around the handling of the
assests of the state to insure against
the loss or impairment of such funds.
We favor and promise the enactment
of laws which will prevent the loaning
of the money of the state 70 any of its
officers or employees, either appointive
or elective, or to any OF the relatives
thereof.
eve urge the adoption by the voters
of Idaho of the constitutional amend
ment to be submitted at the Novem-
ber election providing for the more
rapid sale of state lands, to the en-
actment of which we pledged our
selves two years ago.
"We have witnessed in Idaho with
in the last few years a general IN
crease in the cost of government. This
increase has been out OF proportion
to the increase in property and pop /
llation, and the problem of tax re-
iuction has now become the most
serious problem confronting the peo-
Die of Idaho. We realize that the tax
question cannot be solved in day or
, year, but we believe that by the
Enactment of proper laws, taxes can
1t once be materially reduced and
more equally distributed; and as
means of such tax reduction we favor
he adoption of constitutional
and such statutory enact
nents as to confer upon the public
Utilities commission the powers now
exercised by the state board of equall-
alton, the power and authority 10
upervise local taxing officers and tax
,oards, and the further power to
