SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR THE
PALOUSE.

Mondays Star-Mirror contained an
interview with W. L. Stillinger, for
mer Moscow resident, now from the
thriving city of Seattle. 1t was notice
able that before Mr.. Stillinger brought
the interview to a close he made a
comparison between the ordinary in
dividual living in Seattle and the in
dividual who is fortunate enough to
be the possessor of a Palouse country
farm. The comparison is all in favor
of the farm, with its independence,
its nearness to nature, and its freedom
from the strife and conniving which
goes to so great an extent with the
fight for a living, or for supremacy
in a great city. Unfortunately the
young man or young woman can not
often be brought to see this without
experiencing a taste of the city life,
too often giving up for all time the
opportunities which the rural life
offers in order to gain an experience
which is frequently most bitter Mr..
Stillinger is right in his statement
that the Palouse farm offers the finest
of opportunities for the young man.
There is, perhaps, not the opportunity
to acquire great riches, or great
power, which a comparatively few
achieve in the city, but there is the
opportunity for a useful, happy and
independent life. If skill and indus
try are used, there is also the OPP
portunity to accumulate a comfort
able fortune. 1t is the opinion of the
Seattle man that the possibilities of
the Palouse country have hardly been
touched, and that the wealth of soil,
coupled with greater knowledge of
farming and greater diversity of
products will, in a few years, make
this one of the richest and most at
tractive agricultural districts in the
entire nation.

ALASKA RAILROAD
COST S56,0OO.O00
Governments Second Largest
Work Nearly Finished.
PUTTING ON LAST TOUCHES

With the addition Of a few last
the Tanana river at Nenana, Alaska,
the government will practically com
plete the second largest construction
job it has ever undertaken. This is
the Alaska railroad, which has cost
approximately $56,0OO,OOO, was eight
years in building, and which runs 467
miles into the heart of the territory
from Seward on Resurrection bay to
Fairbanks on the Tanana
BY the end Of June the construction
force will lay down their tools for the
last time. Trains are running the en-
tire length of the road, and have been
for about eighteen months.
Expect Big Returns.
What the road will mean to Alaska
and it's people, government officials
hesitate to say. The returns will be
immense. The development of the
territorys mineral resources and agri-
cultural possibilities resulting from
completion of successful artery
connecting with the outside world tho
entire year round is beyond compute.
Annual revenues from freight and
passengers already exceed $3.50, 900,
and as traffic increases with compile
ton engineers see revenue of almost
a million dollars annually.
While Alaska is casually thought of
as a land Of gold and ice, its gold
production has been only a portion of
it's resources. Coal also is found ex-
tensively, as well as the slightly less
valuable Ignite; gas and oil have
been discovered, and development has
started only recently The railroad
penetrates these fields, and not only
provides the rest of Alaska with fuel
cheaper than can be imported, but
may some day make them an impor-
tant source for the nation.
The fisheries, timber industry and
omesteading in Alaskas rich agrlcul-
tural districts will all be benefited
better transportation and
cheaper rates on food and clothing.
While the interior has heretofore been
locked tightly in winter to everything
but sleds, the railroad will provide
ready exit to open water to the south
during the entire year.
Difficulties Overcome.
While the climate was one of the
most formidable obstacles to con-
others as difficult were met
and overcome. Even the winter freez-
ing of the rivers was put to advantage
to facilitate bridge construction. The |
thick Ice was utilized to bear much Of |
he false work
Three long bridges were built. Tho
irst, across the Susitna river at Gold |
Creek, is a 5G0-foot span that cost APP
S943, 600. The Hurricane
iulch bridge, buttressed against the
'ocky canyon walls. is 800 feet above
he stream and has a span of $50 feet.
The Nenana bridge, which is just be-
ng completed, spans the Tanana at
hat town over 100-fOot bridge
which with trestle approaches, is
300 feet in over all length. No chan
el piers were used in these bridges

WOMAN TOO FAT FOR COACH
So Corpuient Belgian Gets Permission
to Ride in Baggage Car.

The Belgian minister of railways
mas just brilliantly solved knotty
problem set him by woman of Re.
naix, who to follow her occupation II
compelled to travel great deal.
But she weighs $50 pounds and she
finds it impossible TO squeeze through
the door of an ordinary railway car
riage. IT was therefore necessary for
her to apply for permission to travel
in fhe baggage car
This permission has now been
granted bat the minister made the
woman sign IN agreement that she
will not claim damages for injury that
she may receive while thus travelling
and that she will also allow herself to
be searched each time before leaving
the train.

OVERLOOKING THE MEAT

The press is filled with comment
on the part of theologians who are
debating the subject Of the creation
of man. w. j. Bryan is a leader of
the forces opposed to any serious con-
sideration of the theory Of evolution,
while many thinkers of equal magni-
tude insist that science and Chris
tianity may walk hand in hand with
out detriment to the latter. From the
controversy much information will
come to the people and, we predict,
without lessening in any degree the
force of the teachings of Christ. To
most of us the mystery of mans crea-
ton is of less materially than the
force of the Sermon on the Mount
and the ten commandments. The good
book tells us that after the Lord
made the earth male and female
created he them" Whether the task
was performed in a moment or in
cons of years does not in any manner
lessen the truth that Christ outlined
for the world the best code of morals
ever given to mankind. In short, to
a mere editor, it seems that the matter
of from whence we originally came is
of less Importance than that of
whittier are we going.-Caldwell News.

u. S. STILL PAYING ROYALTIES

Europe seems to be just finding out the over
head on royalty is not really necessary, but they
will have to learn that it takes brains to run a
country America was the first to kick paying
ROYALTIES, but every now and then slip up on the
idea that brains don't count At times the voter
is fooled into believing with some spontaneous
new gang or bloc, that the country can pay every
thing and everybody, that work is unnecessary
and taxes can all be abolished. This works so far
as buncoing the voter is concerned until the new
hunk is tried, then the dear people pay double
for having been led astray The people are mighty
sore about it for while, then forgt it and are led
back into the same old trap again. Taxation may
not be distributed just it should be. That ques
ton is always up for argument, but no one but
political bunco artist will tell you that we can pay
out billions and reduce taxation at the same time
The fellow who works the hardest pays the most
and eisn't always the fellow who uses a shovel
and he isn't always the fellow who uses a shovel
who votes for damphool financial proposition.
In spite of the fact that this is free country,
no kings no queens, we have heap of the rest of
the pack doing business in politics in the United
States, and we are still paying royalties. Picking
the right persons regardless of politics is the great
poker game the people are up against, and from
results often obtained they are prone to run up
against the bob-tailed flush-he knows he hasn't
anything to deliver, so, why not freely promise
them all the world and the fullness thereof?

THE MESSAGE

Apparently President Coolidge, like General
Grant, will fight out campaign along the line
he believes is right His message is simple and
straightforward In his discussion of national is
sues he considers the public interest ahead of his
own political ambitions.
He caters to no class to secure votes lie adopts
Secretary Melons plan for tax reduction with un-
qualified approval. He does not sidestep the bo-
nus issue to which he is opposed, but he advocates
adequate and generous treatment for disabled
former service men. He favors world court with
reservations clearly indicating refusal to ad
here to the League of Nations" He discusses
tariff, railroad and prohibition questions without
evasion and does not straddle on any issue.
{ He makes a direct appeal for the farmer and
suggests remedies for his troubles. He would
limit immigration and inspect it at its source. By
constitutional amendment he would prohibit fur
ther issuance of tax-exempt bonds. He would
dispose of the Muscle Shoals project and instead
of making the compensation the government re-
ceives from it the paramount issue, he would have
adequate covenants in the lease or sale that the
parties getting the property shall carry to sue
cessfu conclusion experiments to produce low
priced ntrates for the direct benefit of the farm
ers
In writing his message, President Coolidge
seemed to be considering all the people, not any
one class or any one political party. His courage
in stating his convictions appeals to every fair
minded man regardless of his politics. s-. lsvs

EXTRACT OF M'ADOO

For the convenience of our busy readers we
present herewith the absence of Mr.. McAdoo's
latest speech as extracted from the Los Angeles
dispatches:
''The noble democratic party has always fought
and bled for tax reduction The wicked republi-
cans have repeatedly sought to block our efforts.
It is ridiculous of Mr.. Coolidge to try to steal
this stuff from us. AS the discoverer and inven-
tor of tax reduction personally resent his stand
81 plant one foot firmly upon this historic dem
ocratic policy. plant the other on the bonus. |
know the railroad men are grateful to me for hav-
ing raised their wages out of the taxpayers poe
kets, and I rely upon the soldiers to be equally
grateful 1t is true that the two policies of tax
duction and the bonus utterly inconsistent, and
I haven't yet thought how to get around this
point. My suggestions of fifty-year bonds has
been kicked around the lot and won't mention it.
Maybe the tariff could help. I'll hurry over the
details-I never was very good at figures, any
way. But l know how to make the taxpayers pay
for my popularity, and if there's anybody in the
United States who doesn't pay taxes, directly or
indirectly, | can honestly urge him to vote for
me-
We may have missed some minor points in Mr..
McAdoos argument, but we are confident that
we have caught the drift behind his thought at
any rate-New York Tribune.

CERTAINLY ARIZONA IS FOR COOLIDGE

The republican press of the state are lining up
in favor of Coolidge as the republican candidate
in the presidential race next year. The Verde
Copper News, strong for Coolidge, has discovered
an effort by Frank Hitchcock to grab Arizona for
Hiram Johnson and issues def to Hitchcock and
his sfollowers.-Douglas International.
Certainly Arizona republicans are for Coolidge.
Just why the people would want to change to Hi
johnson who has never had any interest except
his own and who deliberately defeated Judge
Hughes for Woodrow Wilson, has never been sat-
isfactorily explained to Arizona republicans. Why
outside influences should control republican pol
tics in Arizona is another question real repub-
licans of the state are now seriously asking them
selves
President Coolidge's message to congress has
been heartily approved by democrats and repubA
licans alike. Some may differ with him in minor
details but every person who read his message
Knows exactly where President Coolidge stands.
There was no passing the buck" or attempting
to straddle. The people are weary of guessing
what man means by what he says and Cooldge's
II essage was clean cut and refreshing.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD DEVELOP OWN
LANDS

The federal government should pay the full cost
Of roads through public lands and reservations.
If this is done the western states will be able to
complete the necessary road work before long.
But it is the duty of the government to help in
the work-Phoenix Messenger.
The development of many sections of Arizona
has been held back because of the policy of the
government to reserve great areas of land, then
permit it to stand without attempting to build
roads which should be built for use by the govern
ment as well as the people of the state. The gov
ernment seems to feel that road building is up
to the county or state. The forest service returns
to the counties in which national forests are sit
uated certain percentage of its receipts, which
is divided between the road and school funds. In
Coconino county the government owns SO per cent
of all the land.
1t would seem no more than right that the gov
ernment should be more liberal with road appro-
priations where its interests are so great.

whether the hell-bent speed of fire apparatus and
