GOVERNMENT DAIRY
OFFICIAL BOOSTS
CONDENSfRY PLANT
Says Movement by the
Farmers a Good One
Will Give Better Prices
for Product.

That the farmers of the Boise valley
will make the right move in establish
ing condensery plant in the center
of the Boise valley, is the opinion of
f. L. Chaplin, a government official
in the western dairy division, who is
here from Salt Lake comforting with
w. f. Gerholz, the Idaho government
agent in the dairy division who is as
sisting the cheese factories to turn
out uniform brand of cheese.
The Boise valley, in MIR. Chapln's
opinion, is the only valley in southern
Idaho which is sufficiently advanced
in the dairy line to support a conden-
sery although many smaller valleys
could maintain cheese factories which
would do thriving business, thus
bringing Idaho into the front ranks
in the dairy business.
REVENUE FOR FARMERS.
A condensery plant. says Mr.. Chap
lin, will give the farmers a greater
revenue for their milk as condenser
ies pay from So to 1920 per hundred
for milk. He also states that had not
the farmers gotten behind the move
ment, it would not be long before one
of the big condensery companies would
have been in the valley as they would
not long overlook such an ideal field.
Mr. Gerholz who has been conduct
ing Investigations along the dairy line,
states that while there is somewhat of
a shortage of dairy cows at present
in the valley, many having sold be-
cause of the high price of feed the
valley has a wonderful future for the
dairy business owing to the excellent
feed raised here, ahe comparatively
mild winters and the wonderful blue
grass pastures which furnish such an
abundance of feed for long periods. He
predicts ere many years Idaho will be
known Us one of the leading dairy
states in the union.

BILLY SPEAR IS STILL AT LARGE

This is a purely personal matter, in
which we seldom indulge in this de-
partment. A few days ago a telegram
from the Coconino Sun was received
by the Republican inquiring whether
the editor was in Jail. Knowing Col
onel Breen to be a humorist, it was
assumed that he had chosen to pay
telegraphic tolls for the privilege of
perpetrating a joke and no reply was
made. 1t was busy night. But GER
tain things have since occurred which
convince us either that serious i'm
preston is abroad in the state regard
ing restrictions which have been
placed upon the editor or else there is
wide conspiracy of jokesmiths. In
quiries have come from all parts Of
the state as to the freedom or lack Of
it, of the editor of this paper.
He is not in Jail, he has not been in
Jail and, with his consent, will not be
in Jail. The rumor had its origin in
a certain article appearing in The
Republican week ago which very
naturally was disturbing to the sup
rene court. If the members of the
court had been irritable gentlemen or
even gentlemen of normal irritability,
we suppose somebody, but not the ed
itor, would have gone to Jail. There
was some talk we believe of issuing a
citation though the court itself in
dulged in no such talk. The court
contented itself with depreciation in
terms as effective as Jail sentence
would have been and the incident was
then closed.
There are, no doubt, in Phoenix and
elsewhere in Arizona, persons Of NOR
bid tendencies who like the thrill of
tragedy, and some of our warm
friends among them, who would have
liked to see how the Jail bars look
with the editor of this paper for a
background. The Coconino Sun will
please copy.-Phoenix Republican.

PERvASIoN OF CANAL BONDS

When the Republicans undertook to
build the Panama canal they provided
for the issue of bonds to pay the cost
it being an entirely fair proposition
to hand on the expense of so gigantic
a piece of construction to the genera
tions who would derive the most bene-
fit from it. They soon discovered,
however, that their general revenue
measures, their tariff bills, were so
productive of funds for the national
treasury that the cost of the Canal
could be paid from the ordinary re-
ceipts. So the bonds were not issued
in anything like the sum for which
they were authoriZed-and there they
are today, more than two hundred
millions Of them, constituting part Of
the surplus which Republican admini-
strations have always accumulated for
their Democratic successors. These
bonds will probably now be issued, on
the excuse that the money is needed
to pay the cost of the maintenance Of
the National Guard on the Mexican
border. They will run fifty years,
they will carry three per cent inter-
est; capital and interest, they will to-
tai, when paid off, two and one-half
times their face value. Posterity will
thus be saddled with debt for six
months of military futility; while the
Panama Canal, already paid for with
money provided by Republican prud-
ence, will bear an undeserved stigma
every time the coupons are clipped
from the bonds which will carry a
false name.

II each merchant conscientiously
acted upon the "anti-mail order" ar
guments he makes as well as those
printed, he would soon find that there
is some virtue in such arguments. Too
many merchants only go so far as to
believe that it is good argument for
their neighbors and that the news
paper should print it in hopes that it
may affect the neighbor and allow
them the liberty Of sending away for
the things they want at all times. If
a merchant does not believe in the
theory, why should the people?

While we are not in the least peeved
about it, we are willing to wager any
where from 100000 to twenty cents,
that, notwithstanding the brave denial
of our contemporary down the street,
the paper leans somewhat toward the
Hunt autocracy. Their news is not
taken from any of the Phoenix papers,
but is printed directly. from Homer
Wood, and he is the representative of
Ex-Governor Hunt in the mix-up. 1t
is cinch that Mr.. Wood being en-
ployed by Mr.. Hunt would make every
effort to see that Tom Campbell was

WHOSE HAT is IT?

The failing of the average Ameri-
can is to hustle along and if he finds
a detail in the way, to either side-step
it or walk around it, too busy to
bother with it. An Englishman won't
bulge an inch; he wants to walk
through it and will stay there all sum-
mer regardless of costs or anything
else; his right must be maintained at
all costs. An Irishman will size up
the situation, and if the fellow with
the obstruction in his pathway, is a
friend of his, all well and good, other
wise he'll put in all his efforts to as
sist in dynamiting the obstruction and
the Instructors. A German will make
a microscopic examination of the OBJ
struction and will endeavor to peck
away at the weak points for several
years until he feels that the whole
affair will topple over.
These are just national character
istics. An Irishman will usually fight
at the drop of the hat; an Englishman
will fight when he finds out what the
hat was dropped for and the German
will first find out whose hat it was
and why it was dropped before he
fights-the American will usually let
the whole works mix it as far as they
like, until he finds out that it was his
hat. And, there you are.

Editor Sun:
The other day while passing by a
certain bank in this city, not rushing
or hurrying, one foot narrowly missed
raking the globe off the street light
while the other was searching for
some sand in the gutter directly ad-
jacent. Would this be. causis belli
against the city? ? J.Z.
Hardly, j. g., for, from your de-
scription, it would seem your case was
reversed when you fell; aside from
that, you do not prove that the pave
ment, nor the lamp post made any
move toward you, at least until you
tried to hook the lamp post with
your foot and then tried to gather up
the pavement; if you are still sure
about it you might sue the city for
being present when the accident oc-
Cured, but the condition of your
clothes would not prove any belli
cause, even though you are still belli-
cose.
