MARKET OF IDAHO
PRODUCE UNSTEADY

Farm product again show an ir-
regular trend in values on the con
trolling markets of the country. In
dividual influences however are
chiefly responsible and for this rea-
son 1t is difficult to determine just
which influence is now really in con
troll.
Notwithstanding the existence Of
practically every bearlsh influence
that could possibly prevail, the po-
tato situation responded Aarly in
the week to a slightly increased
consumptiye demand, which resulted
in several slight recoveries that held
steady to firm on most Of the mar
kets throughout the remainder Of
the week No Rurals and Rus
sets opened 1915 cents higher to
growers at points of shipment in
Idaho, and held steady to firm to
the close OF the week under a duh
to active demand.
The generally improved condition
recently shown in the boxed apple
situation has subsidized to more
irregular state, Prices in the far
east have reacted to losses that of
set a good portion OF the former
gains, while those throughout the
middle west have held steady and
practically Unchanged but where
the demand was formerly active 1t
is now reported to be only moder-
ate.
The lighter demand for hay the
past week Is attributed principally
TO continued mild weather that is
prevailing throughout the heavy
consuming sections of the middle

Increasing sufficiently to practically
eliminate all keenness in compeii-
ton between dealers. which to
gether with current reports, indicat-
ing heavy shipments in trangit,
lends a slightly weaker tone to the
situation.
Livestock values again show an
irregular trend Those for cattle
and sheep again shrink, while those
of hogs advance Gains in prices
for hogs range 1850 cents, while
losses in cattle average around25
cents, and those for sheep range
from $500 cents.
Receipts Of all classes show heavy
increases, with heavy holdovers
from day to day.

CUTTING TAXES OF
PEOPLE OF IDAHO
Cannon Gets Laugh With
Bill Ridiculing Reformers
Working to Regulate Ha-
bits and Morals.

The present session of the state
legislature has apparently degener-
ated into q dead lock between the
spenders and the savers, with the
line mol too closely drawn. as every
saver has some pet spending meas
ure of his own The appropriations
committee is wrestling with the bill
that will furnisS money to the state
departments and ii IL a safe guess
that in the last days Of the session,
when all the trades have been made.
there will be a fabulous appropria-
tion bill presented and passed With
out much debate. That Is the way
It has always been done, The yari-
Gus state officers all want more
money than during the past bienium,
the university is demanding for all
purposes nearly two million, the
highway department has promised
the counties nearly half the bond is
sue authorized last fan for work
already done and paid for by the
counties and they want a couple
million more, Taken altogether
state taxes are almost sure TO be
higher than ever during the next
two years. II will require years
for the state 10 recover from this
saturnaia Of tax eating and dur
ing those years we will probably
witness several clmn' iena for saw
Ing million dollars or for n taxless
state.
Reformers Of all kinds have I'M
vaded the legislature with bills to
regulate the pleasures, habits and
morals Of the state. Cannon Of Ell
morse was the father of joke bill
last week that has set The entire
state laughing, and YOU can't re-
form bird when he laughs.
Cannons bill requires health GER
tihcates, rene wable every thirty
days, for all participants in dancing,
swimming and Joy riding, and APP
points the state department of law
enforcement to prescribe the clothes
licenses may welr, Some twenty
amendments have been introduced
and the effect of the effect Of the
Joke will be to kin the whole string
Of reform bills.

Reed Held for Bruneau Robbery.

Charles Reed was arrested last
Sunday for alleged participation in
the Bruneau holdup of the week be-
fore and was taken to Silver City by
Sheriff Roy Pearman OF Owyhee
county. He was held to the DIST
trict court on a charge OF highway
robbery and required to furnish Dall
to the amount of $1,000. Friends
in Mountain Home signed his bond
Thursday and he was released. We
have been unable to learn what is
claimed as Mr.. Reeds connection
with the holdup but 1t is believed
here that he was arrested merely on
the theory that he might be a valu-
able witnesses, as 1t was claimed
that he was around town with the
men involved the afternoon before
the robbery.

a population of 1,250,000, 62%
foreign and $50 American, will be
used as an illustration of the pro-

conditions will be illustrated by
stereopticon slides. But the lesson
of the hour. is to show how unpre-
pared and inadequate are the
churches and organized christiani-
ty to meet present conditions. Again,
to the eye as well as the ear will be
brought the fact that what the world
needs to solve its problems and to
save our cities and society is the

Not Baby's Sandman.

II was time for baby girl to be
in bed, but no amount Of coaxing
could get her there. AT last her
father offered TO lie on the bed till

went "pick-a-back," and the tired
mother leaned back in her chair
with a sigh of content, ready for a
hard-earned rest.
Ten minutes twenty half an
hour, and she was wondering when
her husband would be down, when
all at once she heard soft, stealthy

and then little whiterobed form,
with tiny finger on her lip, stood
in the doorway.

Must Convince the Consumer.

The farmers of America are max
ing great progress in the develop
ment of organization along pure CO.
operative lines. In their movement
they greatly need the support of the
mass of he people who consume the
products of the farm. 1t is highly
desirable not only that the coopera-
tive organizations deal fairly with
the consumers, but that they prove
at the outset that they are and will
always deal fairly The consumers
are suspicious. They have a right
to be. The farmers have declared
their intention of organizing to get
a better price for their products
and the consumer naturally looks
around in vain for somebody other
than himself to bear the increase.
When industry organized, the
price of The things that industry
controlled showed tendencies to in
crease in price. When labor or
ganlzed the price of labor went up,
and in many cases the efficiency of
labor went down. 1t is not alto
gether illogical that the consumer
should look upon organization OF
farmers as another screw with which
to squeeze dollars out Of him.
There is no cause in this country
so just as that of the producer, un-
less perhaps it be that of the con
sumer. The consumer has been
about as helpless at one end of the
line as the producer has been at the
other. A great organization of
speculative interests between the
two has dcated prices to both, and
the difference between that TO the
producer and that to the consumer
has often been criminally great.
The farm organizations are plan
ming to control IN some degree the
prices at which they will sell their
products, but this control must be
exercised to the mutual beneflt OF
both producer and consumer. II
will not do merely to secure a better
price from the speeulator and allow
the speculator to add it onto the
price that he charges the consumer.
The farmers organization must act
as a controlling force over the entire
distribution system.
1t has been the history OF most
bona fde, cooperative farm organi-
cations that they have secured bet
ter prices without increasing the
price to the consumer, but the con
sumer at large is not yet convinced
that this is true. The organized
farmers must make 1t permanently
true and should at once launch an
educational campaign that will en-
list the consuming public .as their
loyal ally in securing more equitable
dealings for both. Gen State Rural.

CATHOLIC HALL
FORMALLY OPENED
WITH MUSICAL

The musical given Friday even
ing under the direction of Mrs. C. r
Wetherell as a formal opening of the
new Catholic Hall, basement of the
Catholic rectory was very much en-
ioyed by a we'll filled house.
The program began with a selec-
ton by the orchestra which was
composed of Florence OMAHA at the
piano, Bert McKibben, drum, G. A,
Bach, violin, A. A. Wood, clarionet.
Mrs. Gillian gave French solo
in her usual pleasing manner, Susan
Mclaughlin gave reading which
despicted life as it is found most
any icy morning on the streets, and
it brought to mind many persona
experiences.
A vocal duet by Bonnie Goddard
and Bess Faraday "Tripoli'' was fol
lowed by song by eight young
ladies, Elizabeth Mclaughlin, Loi
Swimm, Bess Faraday, Bonnie God
dard, Anna Yturri, May Dallman,
and Helen Bruce.
Lambert Cannon gave a violin
solo, accompanied by Marian Weth-
erell at the piano, Ellen Jones sang
A solo and was followed by the
Mandolin Club girls who played two
spirited numbers of popular music.
Miss Casey, one of the teachers
in the local high school, gave two
enjoyable readings. The first one
in the negro dialect, showed the
method used by colored lady in
bringing her Prince Charming to
time, and the second reading, a Har-
ward student and his novel means
of serenading at the wrong apart
ment. Miss Casey is an interpreter
of rare ability.
Much credit is due to Mrs. Katie
Smith and Mrs. Ida Labbee for the
able manner in which they arreng-
ed and superintended the seating OF
the guests and to Mrs. Wetherell
for the entire program of such pleas
ing and excellent numbers.
Bishop German, after being in
troduced by Father Lobell, spoke
briefly, in saying that this was his
third visit to Mountain Home, re-
marked that the third time was the
charm, and that he had been charm
ed by the excellent entertainment.
He spoke of his trip to Rome last
May, and of the many interesting
things that he saw and of how pleas
cd he was to return to America and
to Boise. After the program the

How Idaho was Named.

On December 90, 1862, James M.
Ashley, chairman of the committee
on territories, introduced a bill to
provide a temporary government for
the territory of Idaho, which was
read twice and referred to the COM
mittee on territories, Feb. IL, 1868.
Mr.. Ashley from the committee on
territories, reported back house bill
No. 626, to provide temporary gov
ernment for Montana, which was
ordered to be printed and recon-
mitted to the same committee, Feb.
12. Next day Mr.. Ashley, from the
committee on territories, reported
back house bill to provide a tenn
porary government for the territory
of Montana, with recommendation
that it do pass. The bill was passed
and was sent to the senate.
FEB 13, Mr. Wade, from the SEN
ate committee on territories, reported
a house bill to provide a temporary
government for the territory of
Montana, without amendment. On
March 3, Mr.. Wilkinson moved to
take up the bill.
"Mr. Wilson of Massachusetts
moved to strike out the name of the
territory and insert Idaho
Montana is no name at all, he
said
'The name Montana was stricken
out and Idaho inserted. The bill
then passed the senate and came
back to the house as amended during
the last few hours of the session.
"Mr. Ashley was angry and in
sisted that the house should dis
agree to the amendment, but the bill
passed as amended.
When, in 1864, Idaho was di
vided, the new territory naturally
took the name which came so near
being given to Idaho. | think Gov
ernor Ashley selected the name or
adopted it as his own"

Great Plantations
 Facing Extinction

Honolulu, T. H., April 25-(By the A. P.)-The great sugar, pineapple ana coffee plantations of Hawaii are racing near-extinction as the result of the most acute labor shortage in the territory's history; the rice grow ing industry of the islands has been wiped out by the same cause; and the business of Hawaii is fast slipping in to the grip of the Japanese, the domi- hating race in tn territory, according to a statement made to The Associated Press by Governor Charles J. McCar- thy and by Albert Horner, territorial sugar expert. To meet the situation Governor Mccarthy has asked the legislature to memorial congress, re- questing the lifting of immigration bars so that labor, including oriental labor may be imported with the pro vision that such importation shall be only for limited periods and shall not operate so that there will be within the territory at any time a total num- Der Of aliens of any one race more than 25 per cent. of the population of the territory.
 This last provision would bar the importation of the Japanese, stopped since the ''gentlemen's agreement" was made in 1907, since already the number of Japanese in Hawaii far exceeds the 25 per cent. of the total.

Observer Harold Sampson of the Hartford station of the United States Weather Bureau said today that a so-called high pres sure area got hung up in the vicinity of Aroostook county, Maine, and re- fused to move on, according to schedule, to make room for a low pressure area which was lowering about in the vicinity of Indianapolis. As a result of this slow movement the high pressure area intensified and resulted in the unforecasted frost The showers and warmer prediction which the weather bureau sent out for Thursday is being carried out today, just 24 hours later than schedule, Sampson said.
