THE HERD LAW
In this connection, | would like to
caution the homesteader against put
ting into effect the evils dormant in
our herd district law. He can in no
other way so readily and effectively
advance his own interests as by raising
and growing cattle and sheep and
grazing them on the range tributary
to his location. II for any reason he
does not or can not do this, he should
be the last to curtail the industry that
affords him the best markets for his
crops. The organization of n herd dis
trict will further tend to the rapid de-
struction Of tributary range, since
bands Of sheep, accompanied by herd
ers, will be privileged to go upon that
range without any inducement to util-
lie 1t in way to preserve it.

FUTURE OF INDUSTRY.

range. TIE number of sheep on the pub

at least. However, with the passing of
the land into private ownership, the
land will in time be used for the pur-
pose for which it Is best ada pied. Dry
farming, viewed from Il . financial
end, is not a success in great many
instances. Unquestionably large cor

SHEEP A LEADER.

SHEEP A LEADER.
Sheep led in the production Of Idaho
wealth last year as it has in the past.
President Hugh Sproat of the Idaho
Woolgrowers' association estimates
the money total at $15,000,000. 9th
crs put it at $16.500,000. This wealth
has been especially distributed among
the farmers, for hay has been hay!
1t would be difficult to divide the
sheep dollar accurately, but this much
is known-that the growers get the
least part of it. Labor, producers, mer'
chants, bankers-they take the bulk.
That represents the fundamental value
Of the sheep industry-its heavy and
wide distribution of coin of the realm
among practically all classes.
EXPENSES MUCH HEAVIER.
Last year while prices of wool and
mutton were high. the cost of doing
business was greatly increased so the
sheep men did not clear nearly so much
as was popularity supposed. In this
connection President Sproat in his an
nual review Of business conditions has
this to say:
lowing to the prevailing custom Of
early lambing, the expenses Of hand
ling sheep have mounted rapidly dur
inr the last few ars. Due to the set
Element of the ranges, 1t has become
impossible to lamb in the haphazard
way which prevailed in former years.
With the prices for lambs reaching
such high figures, it has been economy
on the part Of the woolgrowers to pro-
vide more feed and more shelter for
lambing time. Large sums have been
spent in the construction of sheds and
corrals for winter lambing, and hay
and grain are being bought in very
large quantities. Where sheep were
handled under the old system of April
Landing, it was usually considered that
the grower who purchased so tons Of
hay for 1000 sheep was on the safe side.
With winter Landing, 200 tons OF hay
per thousand is absolutely necessary,
together with grain or ccttonseed.
MORE EXPENSIVE THIS YEAR.
',rhis year will be the most expen-
sive that the woolgrowers have ever
experienced, as with hay at present
prices, cottonseed and grain increased
in like roportions, the feed bill is as
Stunning enormous figures. The actual
cost Of running a eve for year va
ries from SO to $4.75, the SO eve be-
ing wintered to large extent on the
DESERT the eve which costs $4.75 be-
ing carefully fed for winter lambing
Allowing on an average "a per head, It
will be seen that the woolgrowers Of
Idaho spend approximately s11,000,0o0
among the farmers of the southern
part of the state.
while the figures are only approx
mate, the wool growing industry leases
practically 80 per cent Of the states
grazing lands. This in itself is a con-
siderable sum OF mon'y, but is neces-
sary, a. the grazing of sheep on state
lands constitutes a misdemeanor, I'M

HAVE WILL APPEAL TO
 THE SUPREME COURT

Little Rock. April 26-bespite the fact that before the arguments were completed in chancery court Wednes- day aftrnoon, Judge J. K. Martineau sustained the demurrer of the state the suit recently filed by eX-Gov. G.. w. Hays, asking that the issuance of S750000 in notes to care for the states indebtedness be restrained, former Gov. Hays will probably ap- peal the case to the supreme court.
 Assistant Attorney General Tom Campbell made the opening argument for the state, citing the supreme courts decision in the case of Urqu- hart vs. State relative to the purchase of the state farm at Cummins. He also cited a dissenting opinion in a case by Chief Justice McCulloch, in which the official held that the legis- lature has unlimited power in issuing notes, and anything in the way of evil dencees of indebtedness, except inter- est bearing warrants or script.
 Ex-Gov. Hays cited no legal decis- ions, but argued that the issuance of bonds or notes was against public policy. He had just completed his plea when Attorney General John Ar buckle arose to close the case for the state, but Chancellor Martineau did not permit, deciding the ease in favor of the state.
 In view of the courts decision, the board which had the loan in hand will probably hold an early meeting and proceed with the issuance of the notes.

Members Reach National Cap ital on Presidents Yacht Grizzled Joffre is Hero of the Cheering Multitude.

Washington, April 25-Through five solid miles of cheering American citizens, fag-waving, shrieking, hys- terical with patriotic fervor and the spirit of an international friendship 139 years old, rode Joseph Joffre, field marshal of France, today. From the southeasterly extremity of the national capital to it's northwestern boundary the hero of the Marne was greeted with an enthusiastic genuine ness of welcome such as has come to few visitors to American soil in all the brilliant history of America and to no soldier of France since the days of Lafayette.
 Former Premier Niviani, civil head of the French war mission. rode at the head of the little procession of triumph beside the American secre- tary of state.

Washington, April 25.-Although Speaker Clark took the floor in the House today and aroused great en- thusiasm among opponents of the ad- ministration army bill by his vigorous denunciation of the selective draft and defense of the volunteer system, champions of the measure still were confident tonight that, it would pass not later than Saturday virtually as approved by the president
 It was announced during the day that a poll of the House made by supporters of the bill disclosed a fa- vorable majority of between 50 and 70. It's passage in the Senate is con- sidered assured and unanimous con- sent to vote on it there by Saturday will be sought tomorrow. Minor charges made in one house or the other probably will necessitate a con- ference, so that the bill is not likely to become law for week or more.

 The American steamship Mongolia was approaching the southeastern eoast of England. It was a hazy morning. Capt Rice, who had not taken off his clothes for five days. had just stepped out of the chart room with the naval gunner, Lieut.. Bruce Ware, U. s. N.
 The periscope of the submarine was sighted about 200 yards away. The Mongolia was going at full speed and so maneuvered as to bear down m her starboardwise. The submarine dived possibly to get better posi- ton for torpedoing.
 When she next came up she was a thousand yards from the Mongolia. The strn gun was trained full on her and almost the instant she reappeared the order was given to fire.
 There was an explosion, and for some minutes the surrounding area was covered with smoke. There was the tell-tale oil on the watrs and it is believed the shot hit the periscope directly or hit the hull almost at the water level
