Facts About Idaho.

Professor c. j. Brosnan of the
department Of history at the Uni
versity of Idaho. in an address de
livered recently before the Lewis
ton commercial club, set forth
some facts regarding Idaho, that
perhaps many did not know, and
others who did know had forgot
ten. They are important facts,
however, and are briefly as fol
lows:
Seventy per cent Of Idaho s pop
ulation is rural, and history tells
that civilization has been sus-
tanned by people living on land
while city life had always tended
toward national destruction. This
fact, the people pointed out, was
full of meaning for the future.
The second great fact presented
is that contrary to the usual con
dition existing in agricultural
states, the 1920 census says that
80 per cent of the farmers of Ida
ho own the land on which they
live and cultivate it. This makes
Idaho one state where there is a
remarkable lack of tenancy.
A third great fact which is
brought out by the u S. geological
survey, and emphasized by the
speaker. There is in southeastern
Idaho a vast potential wealth of
phosphate, the value Of which is
estimated at billions Of dollars.
A fourth fact is that Idaho s
lead-silver area in the Occur d.
Alenes is the richest lead-silver
mining district in the world.
According to the U. S. geologi
cal survey, Idaho ranks fourth in
potential water power resources
of all the States in the United
States.
Finally, the speaker called at
tention to the fact that Idaho pos
sesses the finest and largest body
of white pine timber inthe world,
which in itself has a wonderful
money value, as well as being the
basis of gigantic industry.

Squirrel Poison On Hand.

Coeur d Alene, Idaho" One
thousand ounces Of strychnine al
kaloid, which is to be sold to far
mers Of this county and be used
by them for poisoning the Column
bian ground squirrel which does
considerable damage in this sec
ton each year, has been recently
received by this Office states
county agricultural agent, R. N.
Irving.
Last year 1905 ounces of this
material was used in Kootenai
county in an effort to keep this
rodent under control. The strych-
nine will be sold for fifty cents
per ounce as heretofore, which
means a material saving for each
individual farmer using the
poison.
: According to experiments con-
Quoted at Washington State Col
lege several years ago one squir-
rel Will destroy approximately a
bushel of wheat in a year. There
fore every squirrel killed means a
saving of about one dollar. It
therefore is also very necessary to
begin the poisoning campaign at
an early date, in fact as soon as
squirrels appear above the ground
and the poison can be distributed
thereafter. The equirrels being
hungry at this time, in the absense
of green feed, will take poison
more readily than at any future
period. Furthermore, the killing
of a squirrel at this time means
the saving of at least five bushels
of wheat, or five dollars in cash
later in the summer.
"Poison is to be placed in vari-
Gus communities for the convent
ence of farmers wishing to pur-
chase same. Further information
may be obtained by writing the
county agent or by calling at the
office"

WANT SCIENCE HALL
U. Sends Protest to Boise Law
Makers Are Busy.

Boise, Idaho, March O.
A telegram was read in the
senate, protesting against the kill
ing of house bill No. Io3, provid-
ing for the levying of three -eightbs
mill tax, part of the proceeds of
which would be used to erect a
science building at the university.
1t was sent by number of univer-
sity students and contended that
the state school would be seriously
crippled by not being given
additional facilities.
On Saturday this bill was REIN
troduced in the house with the
single change that the construction
OF the buildings be supervised by
the department of public works
instead of the board of education.
The bill provides for buildings at
the university, the two normal
schools, the Pocatello institute and
the industrial training school. AS
reintroduced this measure is called
house bill 264.
A bill placing taxicabs, truck
lines and stage lines using the
public highway under control of
the public utilities commission was
postponed indefinitely by the
senate Friday morning. Boughton
of Kootenai moved sdeath" to the
bill carrying out the recommends
ton of the judiciary committee.
The Kootenai county solon and
others supporting his motion con-
tended that the bill monopoized
the roads for the trucks and stages
and added burden to the public
utilities commission. Those op-
posing Boughton declared that the
passage of such law would regu-
late the operation of such vehicles
and raise revenue for the state.
The motion carried by vote of rs
to IS. A motion by Graham for
carried Saturday
and the auto bill was sent to com
mttee for amendment.
On Saturday the house passed
its bill number 81 providing for an
referendum and recall.
1t is Progressive party measure
and passed by two votes. :
In the future Idaho hunters will
be liable to prosecution for tres
passing on property without first
securing permission from the
O wner, according to house bill No. !
1856 passed during the past week.
This bill was bitterly opposed in !.
the house and succeeded in pass
ing by but three votes. Under its
provisions owners of land do not !
have to post it to keep hunters out.
Senate bill ao9 was passed ly
the house Saturday, to mend a
weakness in the administration of
the blue sky law. 1t requires in !.
vestment companies to file reports !.
with the commissioned OF finance
and to pay fees to create fund
which it is expected will be ample
to enforce the blue sky law.
House bill I43 placing dairics
under the control of the depart
ment of agriculture was passed,
while house bill 81, by Taylor, re-
quiring assessors to collect farm
statistics for the commissioner OF
agriculture, was defeated. How
ever, the latter measure was i'm
