exterminated without a struggle. It
was a task requiring courage and de
termination, and the men who per
formed it are deserving of full recog

But for the united action of the
cattle men the grazing regions of the
west would not be the wealth pro
ducers they are today.
CALL FOR FARMERS MEETING.
Moscow, Idaho, March 4, 1902.
Whereas, The present system of han
dling farm products in the Palouse
country is very unsatisfactory to the
farmers thereof, from the fact that it
costs the farmer the entire profit of
his crop to handle it through the pres
ent warehouse system, as it goes
through a number of hands from the
threshing machine to the exporter, and
each one must have a "rake-off," and
by the time it reaches the final pur
chaser, the farmer is out from 5 to 7
cents more per bushel than he should
be. Thus it is plain to be seen that
the system now in vogue is detriment
al to farmer; and
Whereas, We believe that the farm
ers, by thorough organization, can han
dle the»r own produce and control
the sale thereof, and by so doing save
the expense of warehouse agents and
the various "rake-offs" all along the
line, together with the increase in price
which would necessarily result from
tne control of the sales; therefore be
it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
committee that a mass meeting of the
farmers of the grain belt of Idaho and
Washington be called to meet at Mos
cow on some date to be fixed by this
committee, not later than June 5, 1902,
to agree upon some plan of organiza
tion for the purpose of handling all
lines of farm produce.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions shall be sent to the different
subordinate clubs for their considera
tion, and if favorable action is taken
thereon by them, then this committee,
after receiving due notice of the same,
through its secretary, shall proceed to
make the call in pursuance to the
above resolution.
In pursuance of the above resolu
tion a delegate mass meeting of the
Farmers' Club of Latah County, to
gether with representative farmers
from any locality where Farmers' clubs
are not organized, either in Washing
ton or Idaho, is hereby called to meet
In Moscow, Idaho, June 5, 1902, at 2
o'clock; p. m., to consider the sugges
tions therein set forth. It is important
that a good representation of farmers
be present therefore all farmers inter
ested in marketing of their products
should lend their presence and moral
support to this meeting.

President.

"THE BLAZED TRAIL."
Stewart Edward White, author of
The Blazed Trail," which has just
ljeen published by McClure, Phillips &
°-. and which went into a second cdi
"on before the day of publication, has
"a<l a more adventurous life than falls
11 the lot of most young authors. As
11 l»oy he spent much of his time in the
oiests of Michigan, where his father,
''Winning as a trader and a "land
oker," has since become a million
'<■ through acquiring enormous tracts
timber land. In spite of the fact
fn»t he had plenty of money back of
'lm > young White elected to make his
' Wn way after his graduation from
the University of Michigan in IK!l. r >.
and struck out for the Black Hills with
$100 in gold, and a gun. The hundred
dollars soon went, and Mr. White fell
beck on the gun for means of subsist
ence. He got a job shooting game for
a mining cam]) and did a little mining
on his own account. When the super
intendent of the camp lit out one day
Mr. White was made temporary pay
master, and got himself two-thirds
lynched for paying the wrong men
first: but being possessed of a glib
tongue, talked himself out of the
scrape. Next day in town they lent
him a bucking horse, but as the beast
bucked running, he was able to stick
with it until well out of sight. Then,
with the aid of a club, he, undertook
to educate that horse. Later, when he
was bringing more money into the
camp, he was held up by a "greaser."
After they had harmlessly shot at each*
other several times, the greaser retir
ed and the paymaster brought his wad
safely into camp.
In "The Blazed TraiF" he returns to
his early roving grounds, the Michi
gan woods, and depicts the perilous
and exciting life of the "lumber-jack."
For the last three years he has spent
most of his time far beyond the bounds
of civilization, one penetrating, with
one white companion and an Indian
guide, as far as Hudson Bay, and dis
covering on the way a river large
enough to be easily navigable for more
than one hundred miles, which is not
on any of the maps.
Mr. White is at present living in
New York, where he is a member of
the Players' and the Alpha Delta Phi
Clubs. He has just finished a novel,
the scene of which is in the Hudson
Hay country.

The manufacturers cry out, with
one accord, that the passage of the
shoddy bill will "ruin" them. If their
counterfeit "all wool" goods will not
bear the label stamp of their true
character for the protection of inno

ness is "ruined" the beter.
