visit with his children on Potlatch
ridge. Mr.. Hewett has a l6 acre
ranch near Sunnyslde. Wash. He
says land values in that locality are
increasing RAPIDLY. One man who
bought place at the same time he
did, paying $400 per acre, was offer

He likes tine country there very
much. The only drawback, he

In 1908 the first Philippine carnival

A Few Pertinent Queries

Here are a few pertinent queries
propounded by H. K. Strasburg be-
fore the recent annual convention of
the National Gamers Association
at Cleveland: docs the laboring
man really believe if there are less
hours of labor there is more pro-
duction? Does the politician really
think that less hours and higher
pay will increase prodcution? Does
the distributor of army or navy
surplus believe that he is benehting
industry when he sells canned to-
matoes at $1.30 per oozen i'm
mediately after season when the
cost of packing is S2.15 per dozen?
Can hip boots be sold at $5.25 per
pair, If it costs $3.50 to manufac.
ture them? Can the farmer pay
$40 per day for husking corn, OF
the cotton grower $40 per day fol
picking cotton. or the lumbermar
$40 per day for dragging cypres:
! logs from the swamp, without de
creasing production or increasing
the selling price?" There is little
room for speculation as to the cor
rect answers to these questinos
The trouble is that lot of polite
ians, labor agitators and yellow
journals don't have to answer then
correctly. They just "holler thei
heads off,"

Over The County

Genesee News: Paltt Bros. have
sold eight head Of their fine regis
tered Hereford helfers during the
past week Tobin Bros. getting
four, DR.. H. G. Luce two and John
Kries two which means the start
ing of four new Hereford herds in
this section of the county.
The Platt herd of Herefords has
long been recognized as among the
very best in the Northwest and
while some ranchers are little
slow in turning their attention to
purebred cattle, they are gradually
raising their herds to a standard
that will make them second to
none.
Platt Bros. are consigning IA head
of their Herefords to the Portland
Livestock sale which will be held
in that city March 10.
Troy News: Postmaster Harland
reports that eleven years ago this
month he plowed and planted 27
acres Of wheat, timothy and clover
mixed. Along about the first Of
March the weather became very
blustery and cold. with snow in
termingled and it was the first Of
April before any work was done IN
the fielus again. There were some
who thought he had done the un-
wise thing in planting so early, but
when he came to harvest the crop
which was planted for hay, he had
twice as much as anyone else.
Wheat is one of the hardest grains,
and Mr.. Harland, who was one of
the most successful farmers in this
part Of the country, claims that 1t
cannot be planted too early, pro
vidlng the ground can be put in
the proper shape for seeding.
Juilaetta Record: R. d. Custer
hout, district organizer for the
Nonpartisan League, was here Mon
day from Lewiston looking over the
situation in this section. His dis.
trict comprises the five counties of
Idaho, Lewis, Clearwater, Nez
Perce and Latah counties. A cam.
paign of organization will be car.
rled out all over Idaho this season,
Mr.. Osterhout says, and active
work will belgn as soon as the roads
get so trips through the country
can be easily made. The southern
part Of the state, he says is pretty
we'll organized and it is expected
that much work will be done in the
northern counties within the next
few months. He says he has list
of 500 names which include renew
ais and new members which have
voluntarily sent in their names
from the five counties he represents
There are only two or three organ
lzers in the field now, he says, bu
the force will be increased in /,
short time. Washington, he says
is organized now with the excep
tion of Asotin county.

Beavers Moved

The beaver colony which threaten
ed destruction to the city park at
Juliaetta and had interfered with
the operation of the flour mill, has
moved. The state game warden
and his deputies have been relieved
from the solution of this vexing
problem with which they have been
wrestling fer months.
Beavers established a colony in
the Little Potlatch creek just above
Juliaetta two or three years ago.
In Idaho beavers are protected by
the state law which provides a
heavy penalty for killing or trap
ping them. The colony increased
rapidly and extended its operations
until it became a menace. Dams
were built and the city park was
flooded and trees in the park were
cut down to make other dams. If a
dam were torn out it would be re-
built by the busy little builders IN
two or three nights. Tunnels were
made from the mill race and the
water drained out on more than one
occasion and the operation of the
mill was stopped.
L. E. Brooks. deputy state game
warden, was appealed to by the
citizens and the officers of Julia
eta. He visited the place, saw the
damage that was being done, helped
tear out dam and saw it rebuilt in
the following three nights, and he
asked permission of the state game
warden to trap or destroy the beav-
ers.
Great bodies move slowly, which
is taken as evidence that the state
game warden's Office is a great
body, for although the appeal was
made last fall action had not been
taken until recently. Mr.. Brooks
was instructed to visit Juliaetta
and ascertain conditions at this
time and he has just returned from,
an inspection of the situation. He
said:
"The beavers have moved. They
changed their location voluntarily,
although they reached the con-
clusion after a series of circum-
stances not of their choosing. De-
string to make some changes in the
mill race and creek, the water was
shut off some distance above the
beaver colony and the mill race
drained. Then followed some very
cold weather and the ground and
banks of the creek and mill race
froze hard and were covered with
a glare If ice. The dam had been
torn out and the former site of the
village was as hard as rock and
covered with ice frozen into the
soil. The beavers not having water
to form a pond, moved their colony
about a mile below town where
they have constructed another dan
and made a big pond where 1t viii
do no harm. The problem has beer
solved and the beavers will not bt
molested, killed or trapped. Star

UNIONS OBJECT TO RECESS

l Chicago, June 3.-Leaders of seventeen
 unions of railroad employees, with a membership of 100000 men. tonight sent
 telegrams to President Wilson, Speaker 1 Gillett of the House of Representatives | and Senator Lodge. protesting against the proposed adjournment of Congress and urging that it remain in session urtfl some definite action to curb profit eering and reduce the cost of living has been taken.
 l The telegrams declare that not sin- gle remedial measure touching on these subjects has been passed by Congress, | and that fin the circumstances it ap- ] pears to LIS incredible that the respon- sible leaders of the government at Wash- | ington can assent to this seeming agreement to continuation of 'do- nothing policy, which means the grave economic problems of the people are to be made the playthings of politics and politicians for the next five months" I've call attention to the fact" read
 the telegrams, that despite the revela- lions as to the profiteering scandal Con evil or to punish the evl-doers; that the cost of living continues to advance with cut a single remedial measure having been passed. and that there has not been even serious consideration of con- structive legislation dealing with the se- rIouS problem or industrial unrest Adjournment of Congress at this time ''invites political chaos and business dis aster," the telegram says in closing. The telegrams were signed by the heads of the seventeen railroad em- ployes' organizations.
 At the same time, B. NJ. Jewell act ing president of the railway shopmen' 8 department, deelaredt that unless the railway labor board promptly grants an | increase in wages to the employees, tie entire railroad industry will be dis. rupted.
 This does not mean that there will be general strike" he said. T doubt if there ever will be a great railroad strike ! again. The men will simply leave the service and seek lucrative employment if their demands are not met. At the krate they are leaving now it will take
 only about five months to disrupt the entire industry"

GOMPERS SEES WAR

Washington. June 3.-Samuei Gompers, | president of the American Federation of ] Labor, declared in a formal statement l that war between the United States and Mexico would result from the carrying out of the recommendations of the Senate committee which investigated Mexican affairs.
 The report of the Senate subcommit- | tee investigating conditions in Mexico
 under the chairmanship of Senator Albert B. Fall,' Mir. Gompers said, amounts to 1 9 declaration that unless the government ! of Mexico rewrite it's conviction in ac- cord with the ideas of American oil and mining interests, the government of the i United States will Intervene in Mexico. l The report of Senator Falls commit | tee demands number of specified i changes in the Mexican constitution. These changes would be the consumma- i ton of what has been long the hopes of
 the great oil and mining interests. as well as the land and timber interests, which have fomented the bitterness be- ] tween the people of the United States
 and Mexico.
 l Tn some minor particulars recommen- 1 dations made by Senator Falls commit- | tee may be acceptable, but the heart of
 the report can only be described as vicious. The report demands that unless | the Mexican constitution is altered as | recommended, the government of the | United States send a police force, con- sisting of the naval and military forces l of our government. into the republic Of
 Mexico to open and maintain open every | line of communication between the City
 of Mexico and every seaport and border l port into Mexico.
 "Of course, this amounts to policing practically the whole of the country. Those who know Mexico and the Mex i ican people understand fully that such
 action would mean war between the two
 countries. The report of Senator Falls committee, therefore is a report which | recommends course leading direct to | war with Mexico. This has long been desired by American interests engaged in the exploitation of the natural wealth of l Mexico.
 "Adoption by the Senate of this report would constitute the adoption of a for eign policy completely at variance with the established policies and traditions Of our republic. Such course as IS recom- mended by the report of Senator faifs committee must be opposed by every Jus
 tce and freedom loving American, ana will beyond doubt be unreservedly con demned by the working people of our country and the great Hasses ol oui people generally.
 'sIt is difficult to believe that the Sem ate will give serious consideration to report so out ,of harmony with the best thought of our time, and so full of the possibilities of dire consequence to our neople and our nation, as well as to neighbor republic with which we are at f peace.
 'The report calls for American aid to Mexico, providing Mexico agrees to the ! terms of the report. This is not an American proposition. It is a Prusslan proposition. It must be set aside by the popular opinion and fair judgment Of
 our people,

COLOMBIAN TREATY AMENDMENT IS NOT
 NEEDED, DECISION
Original Draft Had Been Signed By Colombia, But Was Changed Later By
 United States
By Associated Press

Washington, June Accommodation that the long pending treaty with Co., lombia, growing out of the partitionns of Panama, be reported back to the Sen ate for final action were made to the for eign relations committee today by the subcommittee appointed to draft an amendment designed to protect American oil and mining interests from the opera tion of a presidential decree regarded by some senators as confscatory.
 The subcommittee, of which Senator Fall. republican, New Mexico, is chair man, said an amendment was unneces- sary because the supreme court of Co., lombia had declared invalid not only the presidential decree, but legislation along similar lines which had been pre- sented in the Colombian Congress.
 The treaty was before the Senate for ratification last summer when the presi- dentia1 decree was issued, and it was re- committed for amendment. The original draft had been signed at Bogota by the Colombian government in 1914, but subse- quently had been changed by the state de-

 The document provides for the payment of S25,000000 to Colombia by the United States, and when it was taken up in the Senate last summer it was understood that Colombia had agreed to the changes.
