enthusiastic in their praise OF this
organization. The band will be fea-

The greatly increased cost OF news
print paper is having its effect on sub
scription prices. Since January l, the
price of paper has almost doubled. 1t
is this situation that has led the Des
Moines Tribune to announce raise
in price from $500 to $500 year, eff
fective July l. They say in their
statement that the increased cost of
paper will make the paper bill Of the
Register and the Tribune, the morn
ing and evening editions, from $780,
900 to $4,000 more this year than
last for the same amount Of paper.
They announce that at the present
time no change will be made in the
price of the Register. $500 year, but
if paper advances much higher this
may be necessary. All through the
east newspapers that were one cent
are going to two cents. The Daily
Iowegian and Citizen has announced
price Of $500 per year by mail. An
effort will be made to maintain this
price. But should the price OF print
paper continue serious indefinitely, a
change might have to be made. In
the meantime is a good time to sub
scribe and pay as far ahead as you
like at the $500 rate.

MARKETS.

Cattle-Higher prices prevailed all
along the line in the cattle division
Monday. Four loads of pulp fed steers
sold at $40, one load of grain feds
at s cents and hay feds at IT'S, all
prices indicating a two bit raise. Cows
remain steady at CTS. There was
more of a supply Of stuff on the mar
ket than usual, over 1000 head being
counted in.
Hogs-A slight run of 2400 head
came in over Sunday. Buyers took
hold readily and prices scared. The
main feature in the hog division was
that the bulk of stuff was of good
quality and very few loads went und-
er the 9 cen mark. Market very
strong.
Sheep-Lambs, or any class of
sheep are not creating any great fur
ore by the numbers in evidence. Only
one load of feeder lambs being re-
ceived.. All sheep prices hold steady
to stronger at former quotations.

of the amusement zone at the San

to well known as a successful and
entertaining demonstration of the pos
sibilities of %hypnotism to need any
extended introduction to American
theatregoers. He is well known here
in the west and performs some of the
most remarkable scenes in hpnotism
ever seen on the stage. His Death

sensational, and the many amusing
tests with local people well known
to the audience has created roars of
Laughter.
Chief among the array of talent that
goes to make up the Lorenz 1916 road

India and Egyptian dancer, late of
the Panama-Pacifc %follies, a recent
exposition attraction, featuring gor-
geous gown and jewels, designed es-
pecially for this graceful exponent of
the terpsichorean art. Terrill pre-
sents the only authentic East India

stage today and no doubt will prove
a big hit here.

terms of the Lorenz attraction which
comes to this city and our readern
should take in this show, one of the
best Of the season.

won the Crystal Palace Company's
$500 challenge trophy and a cash
prize of $500. This fame vas enhanc-

same choir under the same leader
again won the trophy, beating the
London choir. known then as the Paris
Prize Choir. under the leadership Of
Mr.. Proudman. The sons of the

ed the fame and ever enhanced the
standard established and set by the
Crystal Palace victories.
OF all the Welsh musical organiza-

one-fourth the real worth of the

substantial evidence to prove 1t
but 1t is so like current Republi-

such scheme.
ALI of which proves that Mr.. Day
has never read the law governing the
sale OF state lands, or else believes
that nobody but himself has read 1t.
State land a only be sold at public
auction 70 the highest bidder, and even
then II cannot be sold for less than
the appraised value, nor can any one
man buy more than 100 acres nor can
the state sell but a limited amount In
any one year. With all these r~estric-
tions there Is no danger from specula-
tors. And by the way where Is this
speculator? A few demagogue politi-
clans have made a DOGGY man of the
speculator In state lands for years
when the fact there amt no such ami
NAL" Lands r already too high to
hold for speculation. Furthermore
privately owned lands can be bought
just as cheaply as state lands con-
sidering the expense that has been put
on them and there are a few hundreds
of thousands of such lands for sale.
The owners find they have as a rule
more than they can handle and are
more than anxious for Mr.. Spectator
to put In an appearance but he stead
lastly refuses to do so.
The community has, very properly,
only contempt for the individual who
buys large tracts of land and holds II
unimproved for others to make valu-
able by improving around 1t. In other
words for the man who. wants the
'unearned Increment" The state is
no mor entitled to respect for doing
the same thing. All state lands should
be sold as rapidly as possible for what
they are actually worth that they may
help support the burden OF govern
ment by the taxes they would pay
and by the interest on the purchase
price. II Is nothing short of crime to
hold them idle for years to come in
the hope that they will be worth a lit
tie more 40 or 80 years from now. The
man who has the courage to expedit,
their sale and get them to bring
ing an income for the over-burdenet
people Of Idaho is a real patriot.
