every relation in life may pass in re-

The judiciary in this state has been
taken out of politics. Partisanship

MINE OPERATIONS !.
ACTIVE IN IDAHO

Unusual conditions in Idaho make
it impossible to estimate accurately
the lead output of the State. but ship
ments are being made at the rate of
about 36O,OOO,0OO pounds of lead a
year. There will be corresponding
ly large output of silver and great
increase in the total value of the
States output of the many various
metals. This statement is based on
reports received by the United States
Geological Survey from its field office
at Salt Lake City. Some of the large
mines in Idaho are greatly in
creasing their shipments, notably the
Hercules, Hecla, and Morning. The
| Tamarack & Custer is temporarily
closed, the Marsh is not now produc-
ing, and the output of the Stewart will
probably be much below that Of 1915
The mines of the Coeur d'Alene re-
gon are shipping lead ore and con-
centrates at the rate of 10000 tons
a month, and zinc material at the rate
| of over 5000 tons a month. Blaine
County has added little to the lead
output, Lemhi County is far below the
record of former years, and the Viii
bert, in Fremont County. is also pro-
ducing somewhat less.
Important changes are in progress
in the metallurgical industry. The
Hercules ore and concentrates are
treated at the plant at Northport
Wash, where two lead furnaces are il
operation and two more are to bt
built. Preparations are also being
made to build lead plant at Kellogs
for treating the ore of the Bunke
Hill & Sullivan mine as we'll as Gus
tom ore. New mills are being con
structed for the Ray Jefferson, Hypo
theek, and Idaho Continental, and on
. is planned for the Tamarack & Gus
ter. AS prices have become better
wages and dividends have been great
ly increased.
: Through the Snow Storm mine i
, no longer a producer, the output o
copper in Idaho is progressing at
better rate than in 1915, largely o
: account of increased shipments fror
the Empire property at Mackay. Othe
! shipments came from the Nationa
e Caledonia, and Richmond. A mi
was constructed on Little North For
for the Horst Powell property.
Shipments af crude zinc ore an

SERVICE WILDER BRANCH
HELD UP PENDING
AUTHORITY

Except for one run in the vening
the motor car made no trips over the
Wilder branch Wednesday. Officers
of the Caldwell Traction company
stated that regular trips will not be
made pending the adjustment of a
schedule and of arrangements with
the Oregon Short Line with reference
to freight and express shipments. AS
yet neither freight nor express has
been accepted for carriage on this car
The difficulty over shipment of
commodities is due largely to the red
tape which the interstate commerce
laws throw about such changes. Be
fore the traction company can take
over this sort of business it is neces-
sary for the Oregon Short line to
withdraw its tariffs and for the trac-
ton company to file tariffs. The mat
ter of approval Of these tariffs must
be taken up with the interstate com
mission. For this reason it is antici-
pated that several days will elapse be-
fore the matter is finally adjusted.
Reserve Car at Hand
President Walter Sebree on We'd
nesday explained the arrangement un
der which a reserve car, TO be stored
at Nampa, will be at the command O
his company in case the motor pur
chased by it should get out of com
mission. Under agreement with thu
Oregon Short Line the extra car is tC
be housed at Nampa, where is occa
sion demands, it may be used eithc
by the railroad company or on tn
traction line Heretofore the Shor
Line has had but one motor at it
disposal for the runs out of Nampa.
While the new motor made tn
Fourth of July excursion trips with
out delay or mishap, it is still lin tn
hands of an expert who came to hel
put the car in running order. Th
equipment purchased by the tractio
company included in addition to tn
motor car, a small trailer patterne
, on similar lines, but of about half tn
size of the larger car.

GRASSHOPPER CONTROL

-Four kinds Of grasshoppers do such
damage to sugar beets and truck cro"s
that the department has issued Far
mers' Bulletin o9l by +. B. Miliken,
giving practical measures for their
control. A number of measures rec
commended in this bulletin have to do
with killing grasshopper eggs by
plowing, narrowing and disking, anG
these methods to be effective must
be employed either in connection with
fall plowing or in breaking ground in
the spring.
The bulletin states that grasshop-
pers injure crops in many parts of the
United States, but that areas having
an annual rainfall of less than IS
inches are more subject to the at
tacks. This includes the country west
of the Mississippi with the exception
of strip 100 to 200 miles wide Dor
dering that river and a portion of the
northern Pacific states. In the eastern
part of the semiarid region about
equal damage is done to upland and
lowland crops. Farther west the alb
sence of upland vegetation formerly
confined the insects to the bottoms
along streams where they destroyed {

Four kinds of grasshoppers are es
pecially destructive and have beer
noted as the source as the creates
injury to Kansas truck crops during
the bad grasshopper years. OF thes
the dfferential and the two-!ine,
grasshoppers are the two larger spe

They talk without thought and say
things that are not mentioned in text

while doubtless honest enough is a
drawback to an honest cause. No one
can say the principals OF Socialism

Progress of Work
The progress Of the work on the
Boise project during the month is
reported as follows:
Water was run in the main canal
without interruption throughout May
beginning with 1000 second-feet and
ending with 1910 second-feet. About
500 second-feet of this was run into
Deer Flat reservoir and the balance
used on the lands above the reservoir
Irrigation demands were very
heavy during the fore part OF
the month, and the entire lateral sys-
tenn carried large head of water
without interruption during the month
Irrigation uses were reduced consid'
erably toward the end of the month
due to the preparation for the cutting
of alfalfa and to cold spell oi
weather.
The only maintenance work of con
sequence done during the month wa:
in the nature of riprapping, a con
siderable amount of which was done
on the Mora canal; also some grout
ing of concrete-lined sections near th'
the main canal.
There were no breaks of consc
quence during the month.
