With the opening of the Clearwatel
white pine belt, however, railroad
through the Lolo pass would be in
sured of immediate tonnage in an ap.
preciable quantity, and at the same
time the rail distance from the mid
die west to Pacific tidewater would
be considerably reduced, and water
grade would be available from the
Lolo pass to the Pacific ocean.
The new road would be an important
factor in the commercial development
of central Idaho towns, but would be a
severe blow to Spokane, for which
the people of Idahe county would
shed no tears.
Let us hope, then, for the good of
central Idaho, that the contemplated
railroad from Missoula to Lewiston
win be built within the very near flu
ture.

LoLo PASS RAILROAD

Reports of contemplated rail
road construction, building of saw
mills and development Of the timber
resources of the Clearwater country
have been rife during the last few
weeks, and no doubt have some foun
dation. If this deyelopment il
brought about, and it will result soon.
er or later. central Idaho win ones
again be prosperous.
Indications are that the white pine
belt, to a large extent owned by the
Weyerhaeuser interests, win shortly
be opened to commercial developments
with Jogging operationsI transpcrta-
ton of logs, and milling Of the logs
into lumber on an extremely large
scale. Thousands of men viii be given
employment, and at last some of the
latent resources Of central Idaho viii
begin to produce revenue.
For almost forty years, railroad con.
struction has been discussed in Idaho
county. Many straw railroads have
bOCh pu1it Juiou6h INC hhouASo&h paO
SEES and along the water gradea The
files of the Idaho County Free Pres
for almost thirty-seven yoars are
filed with railroad gossip. Imagin.
airy railroads have been built north |
and south, east and west, but the or
ly railroads that were ever actually
built in Idaho county are the Clear.
water branch Of the Northern Pacific,
to Sites, and the Camas Prairie rail-
road, which reached its eastern term
inal at Grangeville in December,
1908.
Truth is that Idaho county's topo-
graphy offers among the most difficult
engineering problems for railroad
construction Of any part Of TIE
west, and building Of railroads
through these mountains would be
done only at enormous cost, perhaps
far out Of proportion to the contem-
plated revenue TO be derived from

LIQUOR CONVICTIONS

Ninetyseight percent of the cases
brought by the federal government in
the state Of Idaho during the last
year, for violation of the prohibition
laws, have resulted either in pleas OF
guilty or convictions. This is the
highest rate Of convictions of any
state in the Union, and is in sharp
contrast to the percentage of convic-
lions obtained in the courts of the
various counties for violations Of the
liquor laws.
Bootleggers, when they face the
federal court-in this part of the
state at Moscow-appear to be assured
of Jail sentence, while in county
courts, they usually escape convictio -.
and they and their friends give the
horse laugh to the officials.
Judge Dietrich, Of the federal court
at Moscow, recently bitterly repri-
manded a prosecuting attorney from
north Idaho county, who appeared at
the last term of federal court, defend
ing bootlegger. Such practice as
that of the prosecutor, is not general |
IN the state, but nevertheless his ae-
lion indicated the attitude Of that
official toward prohibition
The prohibition law is part of the
constitution, and should therefore be
nforced, particularly with respect
o illicit distilling of liquors, and the
selling of poisonous
ot-gut by irresponsible persons, not
My to men with an Unsuitable appe-
ite for alcohol, but to young boys,
$ well. And this sort of practice Is
Ding ON.
1t is not the man who has little
ome-made wine or home brew for
amily use who should be disturbed
v the officials. but a determined Eff
ort should be made to cinch the
Professional bootlegger who is de-
the youth with alcohol and
Their poisons for mercenery reasons.

SUMMER WHITE HOUSE PROPER
 TO BE: REFUSED
Congress Unlikely 10 Interfere With Presidents Desires
 on Vacation.

WASHINGTON, Feb Prob the effort to establish q summer White House The bequest of ! Nilsen Leakin of Baltimore Of s200,- 900 10 pay for the erection of Q summer home for American presi- dents is merely the latest of a lone list Of similar offers. Mr. Harding, when his attention was called b il, remarked that more than fifty offer of that kind have been awaiting his decision for nearly two years.
 There will probably be no summer White House, fer two very good req sons. In the first place, Congress would hardly have the courage to accept q gift of that kind, and i'll the second place. Presidents and thoir families want to feel free to 70 and come as they please during he vacation season.
 Il is true that Congress, with q ehamod face. accepted the gift of ]. Pierpont Morgan of a home for tho American Ambassador in London, and Of John D. Rockefeller. Jr., of a home for the American Ambassa- der in Paris.
 summer White House, however, is altogether an impraetieable thing. In the first place. it would entail a heeYy cost to maintain it throughout the year; in the second place. no two Presidents ever have had the same ideas with respect 10 summer vacations. Lincoln spent his sum- mefs in a eommodious cottage on the grounds of the soldiers home in this city; Grant went 10 Long Branch, New Jersey; Hayes went back to his old home, Fremont, Ohio: Arthur liked nothing better than Northern New York; Cleveland spent his summers at Buzzard's Bay; liar rison in travelling about the coun- try; Mckinley, like Harrison, and te much greater extent, spent the summer months, when Congress was not in session, in making tfanscon- tinental tours; Roosevelt always went 10 his home in Oyster Bay; Taft liked the north shore of Mas sachusetts, and Wilson passed sev- erdl summers at Shadow Lawn, on lhe New Jersey coast.

ALL BALKENG AT
 JOE OF MAYOR OF
 ONE CHINESE CIT.

CANTON, Chinl, Feb 1.-Sinoe the nasty departure of Sun Fo with his father Dr. Sun Yat Sen. last June, no one has been found willing or able to fill the supremely hazard ous position of mayor of Canton Man after man has been appointed, only to refuse the appointment. or, after 3 few days in office. to resign.
 Il is interesting to note in this connection what good record Mayor Sun had. An American missionary of Macao, Rev. John Galloway, is authority for the statement that when Sun To assumed office Canton was bankrupt but that he cleared off he municipal debts and at the same time pushed ahead public works Of startling magnitude. Mr. Galloway. who has been in China 14 years, char. acterized him "as the best Mayor Canton ever had
 Being one Of the four Americans in all Macao. MT Galloway has come to know Mr. Sun. who is a graduate of the University of California, very intimately, On his return from America, Sun Fo became a Christian and with his wife joined MT. Gallo ways church Another member oi the same church in Macao is the former wife of Sun Vat Sen.

SPRING SCHEDULE OF MAJOR LEAGUE
 SET FEBRUARY 19

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The spring schedule meeting of the American League will be held in Philadelphia February 19. President Johnson an nounces.
 The decision to hold the meeting in Philadelphia instead of here was reached because tho annual banquet of the Philadelphia baseball writers will be held on that date. President Johnson, together with Ty Cobb and George Sisler, will be the guests of honor More than 1000 will attend
 The principal question to be con sidered al the meeting will be the adoption or rejection of the plan to cut down the epidemic of fluky homa runs. The National League. however, opposed it. and Commissioner Lands has since stated that he does not favor it. and that it will not be adopted by both major leagues.
 1t is possible, however, that the American League will act independ- ently. The plan is 10 restrict home run territory to anything beyond 3l5 feet from the home plate While the plan may appear to be radical, President Johnson said it would not be 2 handicap on the real home-run hitters. such as Ken Williams and Babe Ruth
