Plan of Financing Northwest
StOckshoW.

The Northwest Livestock asso-
citation, with headquarters at
Lewiston, will ask 500 stockmen
and farmers of the northwest to
pledge themselves to stand behind
the annual show to the extent OF
$40 per year. This is the an
nouncement made by Bert F. Saw
age, assistant secretary, who was
in Nezperce a few days ago in the
interests of the work.
The plan, as explained by Mr..
Savage, provides for the organ
ization of non-profit sharing or
ganization, the members to pay
ITO this year and no further pay
ments will be made unless there
is a deficit at the gates and then
the annual assessments cannot ex-
coed $40. The total amount to be
paid by any subscriber is $1O0
and this payment will be extend
ed over period Of at least ten
years.
The Northwest Livestock show
is made on the budget system and
the only uncertain sum is the gate
receipts which are necessarily es-
timated. In the event these re-
ceipts fall below the estimate, an
assessment to make up the
amount will be made against the
stockholders. Under the present
plans such a deficit would neces-
sarily be provided by the fifteen
directors who are now serving the
association withoot recompense
and it is proposed to divide such
an obligation among a large num-
Der Of stockmen and farmers who
are directly benefited by the
show. The plan has been pre-
sented to stockmen, farmers and
bankers and has their fullest en-
dorsement. 1t is felt there will
be no difficulty in securing the
number of subscribers necessary
to put the plan into effect
The dates for the coming show
are Nov. 7-12.

YOUR MERCHANT is FAIR.

During the past few months We
have several times heard our
home merchants criticised for the
prices they charge for their
goods.
The home merchant does
charge a higher price-a much
higher than he did before
the war. He is compelled to do
SO or go out of business. He is
paying enormously high prices for
his goods on the wholesale mar
kets. He is paying ! increased
freight and carriage. His help
costs him more money and his ov-
erhead expenses are greater. Ev-
erywhere he turns he is forced to
pay a heavy increase in the cost
Of conducting his business Add
ed to this, he is under additional
pressure in paying the high cost
of supporting his family and him
self. All of this must come out
of the business, and this can only
be done by charging reasonable
percentage Of profit over the
wholesale cost of his goods.
The home merchant can not al
ford to profiteer. Were he to do
so he would soon be trapped and
would thereafter be dead one in
this community. Prices are high
abnormally high-but we be-
lieve the home merchants are as
reasonable in their charges as can
be expected under existing con-
ditions. Lets be fair and con-
slider both sides before we criti-
else.

More North and South Railroad
Talk.

"The 81 miles OF railroad thru
the Little Salmon river canyon
between New Meadows and Fem
should be built was the state,
ment made Saturday by Leonard
! WAY. rate expert Of the state
pablic utilities commission, and
RAYMOND L. Givens, attorney iof
the commission, upon completion
of a report of recent survey OF
the proposed railroad site, said
Sundays Boise Statesman. :,
The interstate commission will
hold a hearing on the proposed
construction of the road by the
Northern Pacific Railroad com
panv September 16 at Boise.
Both Mr.. Owens and Mr.. Way
believe that the building OF the
road would be advantageous to
the state and to the Northern "a
cific and Pacific & Idaho North
ern Railroad companies.
The two utility commission rep
resentatives visited New Mea-
dows, Round Valley, Higgins, and
made excursions into the sur,
rounding territory to gather all
the information that could be OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Givens and Mr.. Way
say that there is plenty of room
in the Little Salmon river canyon
for the railroad and a highway
running parallel as far as Higgins
to the main Salmon river.
If the road is built it will MAKE
a scenic route that will equal the
Royal Gorge of the Colorado. The
road will connect the Paclflc q
Idaho Northern at New Meadows
with the Northern, Pacific at
Fem and will cut fully one-half
the distance from northern to
southern Idaho. 1t is estimated
that traffic from northern to
southern Idaho would increase 5O
per cent.

Grit and perseverance can ov-
ercome almost any handicap OF
nature.
Near Bloomington, ILL.,, in the
heart Of the corn belt, the late
spring threatened serious losses
to the farmers because of their
inability to do their planting in
time to reap a harvest. To over
come this they planted corn far
into the night, using searchlights
to dispel the darkness. In the
outskirts of Chicago there is a
young married man who works in
his garden until 10 and II o 'clock
at night, using a carbide lantern
for illumination. Another man
whose days are also fully occu-
pied graded and terraced the
grounds around his new house at
night by the light Of the search
lights on his automobile and the
electric light on his front porch
This is but an illustration of
the ingenuity that is being brot
into play all over the country, a
train which seems to predomin-
ate in American people. It only
requires a little ingenuity, a lit
tie determination and reason
able amount Of perseverance to
achieve success in the sea Of fail
ure these days. Where there is
a will there is always a way, but
the way is Of little value without
the driving force of will power
to pursue it to the point of
achievement.

Buildings for Club Workers.


There has Just been launched
by the state club department OF
the University Extension Divi-
sion, campaign for the purpose
of raising funds to erect suitable
buildings at the State Fair
grounds for housing the farm bu-
reau Junior boys and girls, who
as county champions in various
projects. are sent to the State
Fair each year.
The buildings to be construct
ed will consist of kitchen and
dining hall under one roof and
two dormitories, one for the boys
and one for the girls. The mess
hall will cost approximately
$4,000 equipped. The dormitories,
two stories high and equipped
with beds, shower baths, toilets,
etc, will cost approximately
$1,000 each. Owing to prevailing
conditions. however. efforts will
be made to build only one Of the
dormitorys this year. Each DOR
mitory will accommodate $50 chill
dren. Each of the three buildings
will be frame affair with wire
screened sides, tight board floors
and shingle roofs and will be
erected at the least possible cost,
with a view to comfort rather
than appearance. and equipped
with the barest necessities.
Last year. says G. III. Behn-
Ike, county agricultural agent,
"the So children from the various
counties were cared for in tents
that were neither very satisfac-
tory nor very sanitary, millions
of flies from the stock barns in
Testing the camp. This year the
$50 children attending must have
proper Accommodations. Stockmen
do not want their stock housed
in tents. Parents should have the
same objections and should give
all encouragement possible to
this campaign. It is entirely i'm
practical to care for the children
in private homes because of the
fact that the pledge of county
club agents and state leaders to
properly chaperone each child
could not be fulfilled with the
children scattered about in pri-
vate homes of Boise. Other states
are making suitable provision or
have already done so for their
club boys and girls. Des Moines
this year is arranging buildings
to accommodate 400 club children.
eve have no difficulty in pro-
viding splendid chaperones and
good cooks for these champion
club boys and girls from the var
Dus counties. who go to Boise for
further training in stock judging,
canning, cooking, etc, but we
need permanent buildings of
substantial nature in place of the
tents we were compelled to use
last year and must resort to this
year, unless necessary funds for
the permanent buildings can be
secured"

Common-Sense Reform

There has been too much swivel-chair artistry and parlor
reformation practiced in our country OF late. Gusay = a =
clear-thinking persons considerable distrust and a great deal
of disgust. Theorists, who know life only at secondhand Dy
they are found in real life, have done much to retard the sociai
progress of America. They are keen for uplift, but they DO
not even know the first principle: To upift, get underneath.
Therefore it is a great relief to contemplate the laDors u sueh
a man as Thomas Mott Osborne, the leading spirit oil all tne
recent reform in prison administration. He has done very little
cackling, but a great deal of good.
Preliminary to assuming command of the Naval Prison at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, three years ago, he served a vol
untary term of Imprisonment, working with the regular con-
victs at cutting ice and ccahng ships, and even suomitt 1g u .ne
prison haircut. Now, following his resignation, ne VIII serve
another period in order to test the practcabiity of his welfare
system in conducting penal institutions. None of your theories
for Osborne. He is a dyed-in-the-wool reformer, and being
for them the shovel and the cell bnuk.
If the clamoring of indoor reformers were needed, no
doubt in a short time all penitentaries would become old ladies'
homes. This would probably stimulate crime wonderfully, for
a certain element of our population would make haste to pro-
cure a ticket leading to a life of ease and plenty. Such would
be as undesirable as the old method OF iron-clad and brutal dis
ciplne, under which any dormant human traits a convict might
possess were either repressed or extingushed altogether. A
happy medium would be a regimen under which a prisoners
talent would be given an opportunity to assert itself, thereby
remaking him into a useful citizen. Society, having taken his
life out of his own hands because he has made a sorry mess of
it, should make an intelligent effort to aid him IN hnding the
particular niche which destiny meant him to fill. Some OF
them are possibly hopeless. But by fostering the prisoners
talents and trusting in their honor, Thomas Mott Osborne has
discovered that, with few exceptions, there is some good in
even the worst of them.
Great men have served part of their lives in prison. o.
Henry discovered and improved his abilities as a writer while
while behind the bars. Dostoyevsky, freed from a cruel i'm
prisonment, wrote some of the greatest novels ever produced.
Mirabeau, the great French Statesman and writer, spent many
years of his life in the cell. And many other genluses, like
Dante and Bunyan, in spite of their durance gave to the world,
through the prison bars, works that are still living. These are
exceptional cases, but through the labors of such men as
afforded an opportunity to give his mite of usefulness to the
world.

Ouiia- Board Stiffness

1t has been said that the average newspaper reporter is
just as honest and reliable as the average person that he inter-
views. We accept this as true so long as the person inter-
viewed is present in the flesh, but when it comes to the honesty
and reliability of those persons who communicate with the de-
parted spirits, we draw the line. There we halt. An inter-
view with a pencil and pad as the mediums is something reason
able, but when the pencil and pad are thrown away, and a
table or ouija board duplicated, then the thing begins to look
spooky. And-just think-you could quote the poor spirit
anyway you wanted to, and yet he, it, or she, would have no
recourse, except possibly by haunting you. And anyone hav-
ing the nerve to hold a telepathc confab with a spirit would be
above fearing a ghost. Senator Sorghum in the flesh could
scare the editor into making a correction, or a retraction, but
how could a spirit institute libel proceedings against anyone?
There is some creduity behind even the most serious scien-
tic facts, especially in the earlier stages of their development
But there is considerable difference between a speck of credul-
iy and a great expanse of human gullibility. Any violent dis
turbance, like the great war, tends to distort peoples emotions
and reason even more than it does their action and will. This
must be the explanation of the tidal wave OF spiritualism that
is now sweeping this country. The reversi IN to the belief Fl in
the existence of ghosts is simply the bringing into pronounced
relief OF the state of mind that our ancestors exhibited. The
burning of witches at Salem was of its fruitage. Spiritualsm
is superstition curtailed by law. AS its disciples no longer
have access to the stake and the guillotine, they must amuse
themselves as best they can with table-rappings, ouija boards.
and other such paraphernalia.
The fact that such men as Sir Richard Crookes and Sir
Oliver Lodge are converts to spiritualism gives little support to
the hoax, for even a layman can find serious flaws in their evil
dence, and such men as Joseph Jastrow and Sir Edward Clodd
fspntualism has been founded on trckery and frauds, and no
proof has yet been brought forward showing that the present
revival is not concocted of the same ingredients. Even if such
were not the case, we have our hands full of problems as it is,
without giving heed to the imaginary gibbering of disembodied
ghosts. e

PROSPEcTORS CALLED
CROWN-UP CHILDREN

The following eulogistic story con-
corning the backbone of our mining
population we copy from the Daily
Skagway Tines"
This Is the time of the year when
the prospector lies in his bunk and
lies and lies-in his bunk. And then
sometimes he goes out and peddles
the bunk. If 1t were not for the pros
pector there would be no mines. So
that makes him the worlds richest
b~enefactor. He is also the champion
romancer OF ancient and moderndats.
What a pity 1t is that his romances
might not. every one come true
what a wonderful world 1t would be,
All power to this noble adventurer.
May his overalls never be beyond
patching. and his bean pot never go
empty. Nine times out of ten he be-
lieves everything he says, and the
rest of us are not compelled to share
his fond decisions. though we arefor-
tunate in being able to enjoy their
telling. The prospector is a grown
up child living In a delightful land
of make believe-and we all love him.

TYPO SHELTER TO
HANDLE SILvERToN ORES

Tonopah Times: Reduction ia
oiHties for the ores at Silverton, h
new mining district recently estab-
Iished In the Railroad valley country
about IS miles from here, will soon
be available at Typo, where the
lana Consolidated Company's smelter
will be blown in about March 80. The
smelter will also handle ores from
other camps contiguous to Tonopah,
and is expected to prove an important
factor in meeting the ore-reduction
needs Of the outlying districts.
The smelter is located about 80
miles from Silverton, via the present
trail. but the distance is to be cut to
IS miles by utilizing an old trail over
which charcoal was freighted to Typo
many years ago for use in a smelter
then operated there fer the reduction
of ores from Reveille and other EAR
ly-day camps. This road is to be
dragged and repaired at once. and
will afford a down-hill haul from Sill
verton to the smelter. Electric pow
err for smelter use has been obtained
by rebuilding the old power line be-
tween Belmont. and by extending a
new line from Belmont to Typo. The
power was turned on for the first
time on February 10.
