SNOW GREATEST IN
HISTORY THIS YEAR
Government Report Shows Unusually
Favorable Condition in Idaho Sal
mon Supply Unusual.

That the snowfall in this state has
been 80 inches for the months of No
vember, December. January and Feb
ruary, that this exceeds by % inches
the greatest snowfall ever recorded
Tor the four months in question and
by 10 inches the greatest amount Tor
any one season and that the snow on
the high mountains from which the
Salmon reservoir gets its supply is
unusually deep and well packed is the
information conveyed in the snowfall
bulletin of the weather bureau for the
Idaho section just issued il says:
February was the fourth successive
month to break all previous records
for heavy snowfall. The average for
the state. including low stations as
well as those in the mountains, was
about "a inches Since November LIST
the total snowfall over the state has
averaged about 80 inches, which eX-
ceeds by % inches the greatest amount
on record for a similar period, and is
10 inches greater than the largest
amount previously recorded in an en-
tire season The snowfall OF the first
five days of the month was very
heavy except in the extreme north
end of the state and in the eastern
counties. This snow was followed by
considerable amounts Of rain and then
by a period of bright, mild weather, so
that the snow disappeared in some of
the agricultural regions and settled
rapidly elsewhere, but there was little
runoff from the higher levels, and the
accumulated depth in the mountains at
the close of the month was still far
above average. Slides have been rela-
lively infrequent The present outlook
is for considerably more than the
average flow of water in practically
all the streams of the state. High
water is likely to occur if the snow
should melt quickly.
The snow in the higher mountains
at the close Of February is deeper
than for many years. There are about
five feet of snow in the Valley Creek
section and at Ivers. The snow is
well settled and packed.

BULL UNITED ON
COUNTY DIVISION
All Parties Inclcding Socialists Ex-
pected to Lay Aside Party Lines in

The county division question is on
again. says the Bull Herald. The die
is cast, and each of the political par
ties in the west end of the county as
we'll as of all the non-political organ
izauons, will take a united stand for
county division.
Young aspirants have sacrificed
their political ambition for county Of
flee in the coming campaign, for the
one issue uppermost in the minds of
the people in the west end-county di-
vision
At a meeting Of the Democrats to
perfect a working organization, it was
decided to push the question to fin
ish The Republican party organized
a few weeks ago, and recently the exc
cutive committee put their party issue
on the shelf in this county, for county
division
A motion passed by unanimous vote
at a special meeting of the Bull Bust
ness Mems association. representing
all political parties, farmers and mer-
chants, that the association will help
to carry the county division fight to a
finish The executive committed CO.
operating with the executive commit
tees of the several parties will soon
issue a call for a mass meeting to
perfect a working organization to
carry on the county division fight to a
successful termination.
Last year the Republicans support
ed the Democratic candidate, ]. w.
Faris, to the man. The Socialist par
ty was no less loyal in securing the
nomination and election of the best
man from the entire county to the
state legislature. In fact, there were
no party lines two years ago. They
were practically unanimous on county
division

LIQUOR DEALERS BARRED.

The Manufacturers and Dealers as- sociation, an organization of the liquor interests with headquarters in Chica- go, is offering to furnish newspapers with antiprohibition material. In his letter to the editors MT. Daniels, busi- ness manager of the association, says: 'This is not liquor organization. We do not accept as a member anyone who deals in alcoholic liquors. We are tax paying business men who help make the wheels of commerce go round" It may be in order to ask, why discrimi- nate against the liquor dealer? From the standpoint of the above-named antiprohibition commercial associa- tion he is necessary factor in making the wheels go round. Does the liquor trade, wholesale and retail, view with approval this ostracism by Ihanufactur- CTS and dealers?

A FINANCIAL BENEFIT.

West Virginia saved $67,5O0 last Christmas time through a decrease in murders. MT. Sim lrion, secretary of the Charleston Business Mems asso- citation, cites statistics showing that for 33 years there has been an aver age of F murders in the state during the Christmas holidays all of them. traceable either directly or indirectly to whisky and its evil influences. This Christmas there were only two mur- ders as result of drinking. The average murder trial in West Virginia, 1t is stated, costs s4,500. Seventeen murder trials therefore cost the state s76,5Oo. Two cost about 5000, a sav- ing of approximately $6750O.

SETTING THE PACE.

Referring to the popular belief that the metropolitan centers are citadels of corruption upon which no impress sion can be made, the Union Signal says that this "big city bugaboo" is now losing it's terrors. It points to New York's board of health, to Chi cagos Sunday closing, to Philadel- phia's stand against the use of alco- holic drinks by it's city employees, and remarks that the public will look ex- pectantly to Boston, St. Louis and Baltimore for some spectacular move ment which will excel the reforms of the other three. Meanwhile" 1t says, "in the great cities of the Pacific coast, Seattle and Portland and in the municipalities of the middle West Denver and Des Moines, prohibition is not only demonstrating its success as a panacea for civic ills, but has reached stage of popularity where the men who wrote and orated against it few months ago. are now eloquent ly insisting that from time immemo- rial they have been it's ardent and self-sacrificing advocates"

The results of the strike vote being taken by the railroad engineers, fire men, conductors and brakemen to en- force their demands for a S100, ,o00, GOO increase in wages will be determined early in August according to a circular of instructions issued by the executive officers of the "big four' brotherhoods of train employees.

The general chairmen for the eastern and southeastern roads York not later than Aug l and those for the western roads not later than Aug. 5. The ballots will then be count ed and another meeting will be held with the national conference commit tee of the railways.
 The strike ballots are attached to brief statement of the conference be- tween the brotherhood committee and thecommittee representing the railways which was held in New York in June. at which the railways proposed either arbitration or reference of the entire wage controversy to the interstate com merce commission for settlement Both proposals were rejected by the brother. hood leaders. and the wording of the strike ballot gives the employees no opportunity to vote on the question of arbitration. The form of the ballot is as follows:

NEW STATES SATISFIED.

i A. G. Findlay of Seattle, royal chief of the Scottish Clans, is travel ing salesman whose work takes him into every city of considerable size in the far West. This is what he says: National prohibition is not far dis tant-of that 1 feel certain from the satisfaction which prohibition is giv- ing in the West. It is interesting to note that stores report a marked in- crease in the volume of cash business which they are doing and that the in- stallment houses and others carrying many accounts with people of moder- ate means report that collections are very much better, payments made more promptly and, in a much in- creased proportion, without 'dunning.'
 "One entire set of arguments against prohibition is, it seems to me, knocked ou by what is seen to be happening to the saloon. The poor mans club the saloon has often been called by some who sought to defend it and the at tempt has been made to call prohibition class legislation, as depriving the poor man of place for social intercourse with his fellows since he could not af- ford membership in a club, as more well-to-do men can. One finds that, under prohibition, many of the places which formerly were saloons are more nearly poor mans club now than be fore. Games and a place to read his newspapers are provided for the GUS toner, these places supporting them selves by the sale of temperance drinks, and so forth"

CRISIS OVER RAILWAY
 WAGES.

The conference committee of managers showed the good faith of the managements in taking this position by offering to sub init both the proposals of tfre employees and the proposals of the railways to arbitration ei- ther by the interstate commerce commission or under the New lands act. There must be either O backdown on the part of the train service em- ployees or @ arbitration by some impartial tribunal or (3) a strike. There is no other way out.-Railway Age Gazette.
