HIT
HARD BY PRICES
Lamb Crop Small
Few Ewes This
Year

Wool growers of Idaho are down
and OUT and under the tariff pro-
posed by congress they will not be
able to get out for long time, ac-
cording to statement issued Thurs
day by Hugh Sproat, president of
the Idaho Woolgrowers' association.
Concerning the present financial
condition Of woolmen, Mr.. Sproat
said: "Woolgrowers today are, with
few exceptions, heavily in debt, due
to the failure to realize on their 1920
and 1921 clips, together with the
poor lamb crop Of last year, follow
Ing the two most expensive winters.
Last winters conditions were
more favorable, and the lamb crop is
large compared to the number Of
ewes bred, but it is away short CON-
pared to former years, by reason of
the shortage of breeding ewes Re-
turns under present prices for wool
and lambs will in some cases no
more than pay interest on the bor-
rowed money"
There is no possible chance for
final liquidation for the sheepmen
unless there is a decided upward
swing in prices, because of the de-
probation of breeding stock on ac-
count of their advancing age, he said.
The grower. went into debt on an
inflated dollar, and he is expected to
get out on a 25 cent dollar, under
the proposed tariff BILL" he said. 1T
cannot be done. With tariff which
would give the protection needed,
some confidence would be established
and majority of the growers would
work out inside four or five years,
but with such tariff as now pro-
posed, it would be better to face the
Inevitable Immediately and start at a
valuation commensurate with the
prevailing prices. Idaho States

F. T. Dubois Working
on Important Matter
on r e c | a m a tion

Twenty years ago Senator Dubois
| of Blackfoot started working OF
plans looking to the construction o
a storage lake on upper Blackfoo
river and system of canals to con
duct the water upon the lands of the
Indian reservation. That was in the
days when he was conducting hi
notable fight for the sovereignty o1
the states in matters of irrigation
and water rights and at the same
time claiming the right to use the
waters Of great basin in Wyoming
that drained into Idaho and which
could be drained in no other direc-
tion. He led a congressional COM
mittee into the Jackson hole country
to prove to them that his contention
was right, and when Mondell of
Wyoming for the first time saw that
great panorama of the best-watered
portion of his own state he gazed
upon it for three days and three
star-lit evenings and then took off
his hat to the senator from Idaho
(Dubois) and said, Senator, take
the whole works." I"-
Senator Dubois is working on an
other important matter for reclama-
tion for his locality and arrange
ments have been made to take him
out over the SUBMITS past Mt. Put
nam to look over the great drainage
basin of the upper Blackfoot river
the first Of the week, so he can study
at first hand the things he has dis
covered on the maps and charts of
the typographical survey. He has
been calling some of these things to
the attention of men high in the ad-
at Washington, and in
a few weeks he will be back at their
elbows to explain to them just how
it looks when one is on the ground
and where the surveys should be
made to get exact official informa-
tiOn.N
Senator Dubois has been witness
ing the flow of the winter stream
and the spring freshets and joins in
the use Of the slogan, "The ocean
doesn't need it," and that brings up
the fruitful question of how and
where to impound it and which
acres to use it on.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
EXCHANGE ROOMS
Parking is Spaded Up
and Prepared
for Seed

The district judge and county at.
torney had offices together in the
southern corner of the court house
and the court reporter had the room
sat the west corner. That was not
very satisfactory and there was no
jury room. The court reporter and
the county attorney have exchanged
rooms and it is better for the judge
and hissreporter, but the county at
torney and his stenographer have to
do their work and have consultations
In one small room.
If person wishes to have pri-
vate talk with Mr.. Wright, either
Mrs. Wright has to quit her work
and 60 out in the corridor and loaf
or Mr.. Wright has to go out for the
consultation. If a consultation is
in progress in the office and another
person arrives, wishing to see the
county attorney, he looks in, is told
that they are busy and is invited to
wait outside until they get thru.
That does not seem like a courte-
GUS way to dispose of the second ar
rival, but it Is the best that can be
done. Sometimes the stenographer
and various others are all waiting
In the hall.
There is no jury room, but there
is big cubby hole in the cupola that
can be used by going thru the
county attorneys room and up a
stairway that is much like ladder
or by vacating the court stenograph-
er's room and having the jury go in
and out thru the judges room they
can accommodate the jury. If the
probate court room is not occupied
they can house jury there. If the
county attorneys office were moved
back over in town somewhere, then
his present office might be used for
jury room tho it is rather small. |
Seeding the Parking
The caretaker of the court house
grounds and prisoner have been
spading up the parking at the
western side of the grounds getting |
1t ready to seed. All but two of the
trees were removed from the strip
in May, and announcement has not
been made whether. these two were
left by accident or whether they con-
cluded it was a mistake to have re-
moved the others and stopped the
work on that account.

SHORTAGE OF FUEL
AUTHORITIES SAY
Low Production and
Idle Mines are
Big Factors

BOISE, Idaho.-Unless people
more generally lay in their coal there
will be the worst coal shortage in
Idaho next year in the history Of the
state and the price of coal will soar
to unheard of prices. That is the
opinion of capable authorities who
have made close investigation of
the subject.
In the history of coal mining in
the districts supplying fuel to Idaho
there has never been such low pro-
duction as at present. The mines
have been practically idle for long
time on account of lack Of orders.
With the exception of the Mutual
Coal company supplying coal so far
to stockholders only, there has not
been mine in Utah, for example,
working more than an average of
two days a week.
This means that when the fall de-
mand comes the mines will not be
in position to supply it. Moreover,
care will be scarce owing to crop
movements then.
Meantime the mines are forced to
the expense of certain heavy over
head, altho practically idle, and the
public will have to pay the fiddler
in increased prices.
No Reduction in Price
The Investigation referred to dis
closes that there will be no reduction
In price, altho there are quotations
On inferior coal at lower than $500
! ton, the ruling price in Utah mines.
For standard coal, such as most peo-
Die must have, the price will be
at the mine because the
with the miners runs
Until May 1, next year.
There will be no reduction in the
reight rate, as announced by the
ailroads, and, by the Interstate COM
nerce commission head. Joel L.
Priest, general agent Of the Oregon
'hort Line SAID: There Is no
respect whatever of a reduction in
he freight rate on COAL" nor is there
my hope for cut in the mine prices.
We are advised that many peo-
lie who ordinarily store coal have
.eferred doing SO on the theory that
hey will be able to buy it later on
or less money. In this way they
re going to be disappointed.

Socialist Woman
Cannot Speak
at Twin Falls

Kate Richards O'Hare is the
Socialist woman who said some sedi.
tous things during the war and went
to prison for it. Among other things
she declared that the women whose
sons enlisted to fight Germany were
only comparable to brood sows, the
drift Of her talk being that we should
not fight and men should not enlist
nor respond to the draft. If we had
followed her advice American would
now being paying tribute to Germany
and the "verbotin" sign would con-
front us everywhere, backed up by a
German bayonet.
Mrs. O'Hare Is again taking the
lecture platform and was billed to
speak at Twin Falls Friday night,
but the citizens would not stand for
it. City and county officials and
citizens generally objected and H. H.
Friedhiem (note the German name)
who was sponsor for her at Twin
Falls was informed that Kate would
make no speech nor got hearing
there. She was at Vale Oregon that
day and he wired her as to condi-
tiOns.
Kate Richards O'Hare failed to
he'd the warning given by the city
and county authorities of Twin Falls
county and as result was abducted
yesterday afternoon from the home
of H H. Friedheim, her sponsor.
Little interest was shown when
Mrs. O'Hare arrived at the station
in Twin Falls and she was introduced
to the sheriff and chief Of police, who
after conference arranged for her,
said they would do all in their power
to avert all untoward developments.
After this conference Mr.. Freidheim
insisted that Mrs. O'Hare would
speak in Twin Falls that evening, but
an hour her departure was re-
ported to the sheriff.
At the time Mrs. O'Hare was taken
away she was alone with Mrs.
who was unable to give
4 clear account of the circumstances,
out stated that she had been taken |
away by committee.

ADVERTISING PLAN
TO "SELL" IDAHO
Movies of Industries and
Scenic Beauties to
..... be Taken

An advertising campaign to "sell'
Idaho has been inaugurated by /;
number of prominent men thruou
the state. .'
o. H. Barber was in Blackfoot
Monday in the interests of the or.
ganization and he spoke in PocatellC
before representatives of the Com.
mercial, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs,
that evening.
The plan is first to collect all in
formation regarding the agricultural,
mining, dairying, stock raising and
numbering industries, irrigation pro-
jects, scenic beauties and other de-
scriptive matter.
Then the east will be divided into
zones and publicity men sent out
with this data and they will use
theatres, public halls, newspapers,
magazines and other available means
to carry out this work. Descriptions
of our stock, our. farms, our scenic
wonders will be flashed on the
screen. The next step will be to
keep the people of the east informed
as to what Idaho has and what Idaho
is doing SO that they will be induced
to see what Idaho is doing when they
come to the coast
The campaign is to last for five
years and the greatest pressure will
be brought to bear when the Port
land exposition is being held in 1925.
At this time the people coming from
the east to attend this fair will di-
rected toward Idaho.
There will be some cost to such a
but the cost is small COM
pared with the benefits to be derived
from this work. 1t is the plan to
distribute the cost evenly over the
state and "a dollar per capita" is the
slogan being adopted in the appor-
Joining the sums to each county.
The work of advertising Idaho
;hruout the east will be under the
direction of DR.. Charles Vining
Fisher, a man who has had many
1ears of experience along this line.
