Hottest Place on Earth.

Ten years of records obtained at
the United States weather bureau
substation at Greenland ranch in
Death Valley, CAL, indicate that this
is the hottest region in the United
States, and probably on earth. The
average of extreme maximum tenn
perature reported to the United
States department of agriculture
since 1911 has been 125 degrees. At
Greenland ranch temperatures OF
100 degrees F. or higher occur al
most daily during June, July and
August. The hottest month on rec
ord is July 1917, when the mean
temperature of 1912 degrees F. But
the temperature of 1874 degrees F.
observed on July 10, 1913, is be-
lieved by meteorologists to be the
highest natural-air temperature ever
recorded with a standard tested
thermometer exposed in the shade
under approved conditions.
Death Valley is from 2 to 8 miles
miles wide and about 100 miles long,
lying between high mountain ranges.
It is the deepest depression in the
United States, some estimates plac-
ing it's lowest point at 337 feet be-
low sea level. Greenland ranch is
17S feet below sea level. White
people find the midsummer heat in
tolerable, and even the Indians go
up to the Panamint range during
July and August.
The normal annual precipitation in
Death Valley is less than 2 inches.
Successful agriculture can not. be
maintained on less than Is or 20
inches of annual precipitation with
out the aid of irrigation. A group
Of springs serve as the source of ir-
rigation-water supply for Greenland
ranch. The water has temperature
of about 100 degrees F. and is only
sufficient to irrigate 70 acres. Four
crops of alfalfa are gathered each
year. The principal product Of the
ranch is dressed meat, but expert
ments are being made in raising poul-
try and in growing vegetables, dates,
citrus and deciduous fruits.

FINISH OF THE WARSHIPS.
Time Approaches When Aeroplane
Will Take its Place.

If the prophecy of Capt. Frederick
Guest, British Air Minister, comes
true, there will be no new battleships
built at the end of the ten-year naval
holiday arranged at the Washington
conference
Speaking in the house Of commons
few days ago on the air estimates,
he declared dramatically:
"In ten years time believe COM
bat between forces OF the air and
forces of the sea will have become a
grotesque and pathetically one-sided
affair.""
Capt. Guest prefaced his conclusion
with brief but significant revelations
of the progress already made along
those lines. The possibilities of the
bomb have only been partially ca
plored, he said, adding:
"A few months ago We started a
bombing school. 1t has already prov
ed that one bomb can sink the most
powerful battleship in few minutes
The warship may survive direct sur
face hit, but you cannot protect 1t
from the explosion of a bomb under
meath the water line. 1t is merely
necessary to perfect the bomb sight,
which is a matter purely of prac-
tice and experiment.
'To show the power and superiori-
ty Of bomb over a shell-its accu-
racy must be greater as apart from
the fact that the former is dropped
from a height say, Of two miles, while
a shell must traverse, say, twenty
miles-the error inherent in the gun
itself is completely eliminated.
GAS regards range there can be no
comparison. The range from a ship
can hardly be more than twenty
miles, while an air bomber can cover
something like 200."

But the citizens, even the most con-
irmed liquor addicts, were aroused
to the danger Of the continued su-
premacy of bootleggism. DR.. Kau-
konen had announced her intention
relentlessly to fight the prohlo1tlon
violators. Women took the lead in
her campaign, but men Joined them
in the fight, and husbands and wives
went to the polls together on elec-
ton morning and DR.. Kauhonen re-
ceived the largest majority ever CIV
en- a Fairport mayorality candidate.
Dr.. Kaukonen's induction into Of

dumped the liquor into Lake Erie.
There was something spectacular
about the first raid by the new may

les themselves that the new mayor S
tactics have carried out the towns
desires.
Gambling and bootlegging have
been made hazards instead Of recos-
nized >vocations Mayor kaukonen S
raids, whether they have utterly
eliminated liquor, have made it
subject to be discussed in whispers
rather than in loud tones.
The new mayors law enforcement
programme has met the usual obsta-
cles, legal and human. She has beeli
forced to call to her assistance the
state prohibition authorities and to
arm them with technically correct
search warrants. But the cleanup
pro- gramme has gone forward stead
lily. DR.. Kaukonen has planned and
directed each raid. The battle for
law observance has been character
lied by sensational incidents. At one
place as the raiding was entering a
shot was heard; a man dashed out;
Mayor Kaukonen braced herself and
CAPTURED him. One woman attempt
ed to destroy the evidence of her
husbands business by pouring raisin
whiskey into a sink. DR.. Kaukonen
quickly seized piece of bread from
a table near by stopped the drain
with it, and enabled the officers to
obtain enough of the liquor for anly-
sis.
Federal prohibition officers and
aw enforcement league officials some
how got the idea that the Kaukonen
administration would need instruc-
tion in how to enforce the law. So a
representative went to Fairport to in
struct. When they got there, she took
personal charge and gave her in
structors a valuable education in the
course of raid that included IL
speak-easies. The biggest raid Of her
campaign took place about month
after she took Office, 10 stills 1000
gallons of mash and 25 barrels OF
whiskey being seized.
Although DR.. Kaukonen conducts
her crusades earnestly, she entertalns
no illusions of the immediate de-
struction of the liquor traffic.
ssDo you believe bootlegging will
be completely wiped out - some one
asked her.
"Bootlegging," she replied, "is
long and lingering disease. When you
think it is done for, it is the most
dangerous. Many men who appear to
be the most ardent prohibitionists
are the most ardent seekers for cases
Of whiskey.
Gas a mater of fact, the bootleg
gers do more than the enforcement
officers to make prohibition pronibi-
tive. They make drinking a hazard
Gus avocation with poisonous drinks.
The drinking public has little faith
any, longer in the truthfulness of la
bles. There are a few drinking men
who will risk anything for the kick
but most men nowadays are wary of
drinks they are not able to identify
definitely" ..
1t has been in connection with her
war on prohibition violators that DR..
Kaukonen has been most active as
chief executive. But her own attrac-
tive personality, her youth, and the
novelty of her incumbency of the
mayoralty Office all combine in the
arousing Of the intense interest that
has been taken in her. Dearborn In

exorbitant freight rates. Diversihca-
ton and intensifcation are essential.
Because the potato, fruit and head
lettuce acreage this year will far ex-
coed that of any former season, Idaho
will need far more refrigerator cars
this fall than heretofore. Right now
is not too early to begin to work to
the end that those cars will be avail
able.
James Stotts, loop editor of the
Evening Capital News and an author
ity of farm facts in the Boise Valley,
recently warned:
1T is not too early to give serious
consideration to the necessity of Sc
curing freight cars for the shipment
of the crops of the valley this year,
as approximately twice as many cars
will be needed as have been necessary
in any preceding year, notwithstand-
ing that it has been difficult to secure
an adequate number of cars during
any year of the past. The area of
the potato crop in Canyon county,
alone, will approximate $500 acres
and will in all probability produce a
crop of something like $500 carloads,
the crop of past year with an area of
$500 acres having produced ESQ car
loads. The area of the lettuce crop
this year will range around 1900 acres
and will approximate according to the
yield of last year something like 1900
carloads. This is a very conservative
estimate, for present indications point
to the area of this crop reaching 1000
acres. Then the fruit crop of 1921
amounted to 5000 carloads, while that
Of this year will probably be vastly
greater. Of this crop last year there
were 1000 carloads Of Italian prunes
and the crop of this year of this pro-
duct will probably be greater in yield
and will need to be shipped with the
least possible delay, because of the
fruit being of perishable nature
These three crops, alone, mean a de-
mand for not less than 1000 cars and
concerted efforts should be initiated
now to influence the Union Pacific
Railroad company to prepare to meet
the demand that there may be no loss
from an inadequate supply of cars"

The Rising Tide.

RARNUM, showing at Madison
Square garden in New York, for
the FIRST time in the history of circus
presentation there, is daily turning
away thousands of people. Road
shows in the east are going great guns,
drawing capacity houses everywhere.
Unemployment is rapidly decreasing.
In New York, for the first time in two
years, the American Legion employ
ment bureau has more jobs than men
to fill them. Only men willfully idle
because of strikes are without Jobs.
Eliminate the coal strikers, and al
most every man in the east can get
employment if he wants it.
In the west the situation has never
been so bad, SO far as unemployment
is concerned. Today, there is work
tor everyone who really wants it. This
week dodgers were thrown about
Caldwell, sent here by Montana con-
Germ who want fifty men Immediately.
Evidently Montana has no idle men
else Idaho would not be asked to sup
ply them.
Liberty bonds are back at par,
Stocks are daily registering small
gains. There is bouyant optimistic
sentiment in the market that only re-
suits from rising tide. Prices of
farm commodities are slowly forging
forward to point where, unless the
unforeseen occurs, farmers this fall will
market their crops at a profit, the
first time in two seasons.
Idaho is marketing its wool crop.
And prices are good enough that IL
quotation of the livestock industry
will progress this spring to a point
where confidence will be restored and
safety insured.
Surely there are better days dead
ahead.

Weak Stuff.

IDAHO Democrats are out with
their plan of attack upon the Re-
publican state government. Assaults
mon the commission form of state
government and upon the cost OF
state government will form the basis
of this falls effort to dislodge the
Republican party from the state house
and install opponents OF the Demo-
cratic faith.
And, as usual, the much abused
state constabulary comes in tor its
share of the political verbiage. Save
money for the state by discarding the
constabulary seems to promise to be
a Democratic war cry.
Is it possible that the Democratic
party is reduced to such straits that
no better campaign issue can be evolv-
ed than this? First and foremost, the
constabulary is not drain upon the
state treasury. Even in the first bien-
mum following its establishment, this
department paid cash, over and above
operating expenses, into the treasury.
And, in all likelihood, this year will see
that quite unusual feat duplicated.
How flat, then, falls the cry of eco
nomy insofar as it is directed at the
state constabulary.
Generally speaking, The Tribune
holds the opinion that all the United
States is over governed. More police
officers seem to react in somewhat
the same way, so far as crime control
is concerned, that red flag affects
an irritated bull.
But the state constabulary has per-
formed a real service for Idaho. This
states criminal syndicalism law has
been enforced almost alone by the
constabulary. And the constabulary,
operating under this statute, has
cleaned Idaho of the l. w. w. men
ace. That, alone, justifies the exist
ance of the state department.
Crime waves are sweeping the ma
ton. Right now would undoubtedly
be an inopportune time to leave Idaho
without a law enforcement arm of
government whose work has been of
real value to Idaho without costing
taxpayers single cent.
