land enforcing the criminal law.
In place of the right of taxation, a
sop is offered to the states. one halt
OF the rental income from leases is to
be paid to them, and the other half is
to be expended in retaining arid
land. Under this arrangement the
state must spend it's half on schools
and roads. being treated like a
schoolboy to whom a certain amount
of spending money is doled out week
ly with strict injunctions how it shall
be used. For this mess of pottage the
state would be expected to sell its
birthright-its sovereignty over from
35 to SO per cent of its area, its right
to fix the amount of revenue to be
collected from that area and to dis
burse as it willed that which it re-
ceived through the grace of the secre-
tary Upon the judgment of that OFF,
cial in fixing rent would be contingent
the amount of revenue which the state
would draw from this source. Perpet-
ual tutelage would be the result.
This system has already been APP
piled to the coal land of Alaska, and
has failed to attract investors, for
they are not eager to place themselves
under it's many restrictions and under
the power of an official who is chang
ed every four years. There was little
opposition in that case, for Alaska is
territory, and conditions there are
exceptional. In his grasp after more
power and patronage, the secretary
now proposes to extend it to eleven
sovereign states, where conditions are
no different from those prevailing in
the other states except that great
areas of land are still owned by the
government. Although these states
have been foremost in bringing cor
pora tons under effective public con-

prejudice against corporations with
ignorance of the facts.
"Sfnce the west must again wait for
the right to develop its resources, it
should put this time of waiting to
good use. It's people should awake to
the enormity of the wrong which it is
proposed to do them. 1t should inform
the people of other states of the facts.
1t should not rest supine while its
freedom is demanded as the price of
lifting the embargo on its develop
ment"

Idaho is fortunate to be favored
with the site of this new industry by
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan company,
against several competitors. as prior
to last year the history of lead silver

. AUTOMOBILE SHORTAGE.
Buy Now Is Advice Of Local Agent
Who Knows Factory Conditions.

The greatest year for automobiles
ever known" states l.. W. Bemis,
manager of the local Scripps Booth
sales agency, 1T is going to be more
of a question of being able to get the
cars from the factory than OF selling
them. This is due principally to Two
things--tirst, to the shortage of ma
terial, and, second. to the fact that II,
is next to impossible to getting ship
ping facilities. Two of the largest
companies in Detroit have been COM
PEELED to shut down temporarily, as
cient transportation means from the
railroads, while others are driving
their machines anywhere from 100 to
900 miles overland west to enable
them to get prompt shipping. Every
company, almost without exception,
employs force of men at the differ
ent steel works to see that it's factory
receives it's allotment of material as
soon as it is manufactured. To fur
Their emphasize this shortage, more
people are able to buy cars this year
than ever before, due to the general
prosperity of the country. without
doubt the people will get more for
their money this year than ever be-
fore.
The experimental stage of the au-
tomobile has passed and the last year
or two it has been more of a question
as to the refinements of the body
construction and design than anything
else. Before this time the people
were generally given some new ex-
pertinent to try, at their own expense,
but those days have passed and by
reading over the motor magazines you
will see that the motor has been pref
ty well standardized.
THE wise man will get his order in
as early as possible, as it is hard to
tell when the price will rise again on
cars, and as said before, there is a
certainty of a great car shortage this
year. With the good roads we have
in this country, especially since the
Canyon has been put in shape, there is
no reason why this community should
not have as large a number of ears
per capita as any community in the
country"

Ray-Jefferson Mine.


On the north side of the Occur
d'Alene district active development
was carried on throughout the year at
Sunset peak, at the w. A. Clark mine.
At the Ray Jefferson adjoining the
west end of the Interstate Callahan,
40 men were employed in Zine-lead ore
production and development on several
pronounced veins. A new mill of 400
tons daily capacity was completed and
put in operation on this mine in De-
cember that is of the most substan-
tial construction and modern design.
This section also has a number of
other attractive 2inc-lead ore mines
and prospects that are being actively
developed at this time and has been
recently made more accessible by the
extension of railway spur from the
north fork branch of the O.-W. r. e.
N. railway company to the mouth of
Carbon creek, near the Ray Jefferson
mill, which will greatly facilitate the
future ore shipments and production
from this part of the district

At Wood River the notable occur
renee of the year was the introduction
of the Federal Mining and Smelling
company Of Wallace Idaho, who pur
chased the well known North Star
mine, u miles above HALEY, on the
east fork of Wood river. This COM
pany has been the dominant mining
enterprise of the state for years in the
Occur d'Alenes, and its introduction
to the Wood river district is one of
decided advantage and has given an
interesting illustration of vigorous ac-
