The eighty mile stage ride will be
done away with. The new line ex
tends from Merced Falls to the boun
dary of Yosemite National Park,
twelve miles from the center of the
valley. Thence over a turnpike, eith
er an automobile or stage line will

at work and the last rail will be laid

terminals are almost finished.
The new hotels will not be ready
for next season's business, but Mr.
Miller has under consideration plans
for temporary structures to care for
the traveler comfortably.

The Election Comment.
Dear Tribune:
I ought to have known that being
neither a prophet nor the son of a
prophet that my predictions might
miss fire. If I had only made enough
of them, my reputation would not
bave been so utterly destroyed; but
I convined myself too narrowly. I
was engaged in a righteous matte',
and feeling so sure of my ground 1
thought that others having the same
opportunities that I had, most cer
tainly think as I did. But I reck
oned without my host and few hun
dred Prohibitionists, Anti-Saloon
atics, and Christian voters, to say
nothing about the old soldiers.
But it was a royal battle, and my
friend, Mr. Badley, much to my sur
prise, and the surprise of many oth
ers, carried off the prizes of victçry.
My contention was tried In the
court of the publie, and before what
is called a fair and impartial jury,
and I lost my case. Opinions are
hewn out of the same stuff as
dreams are made of, only the for
mer is considered a little more ra
tional than the latter, so I have lost
nothing.
I hope that everything that I said
was a mistake; I would rather I
were proven mistaken than that the
county, or the people, or Mr. Badley
or any one should suffer injury.
With this, I wash my hands of the
whole matter. But there are a few
elements of the campaign that are
in need of criticism, viz: The pro
hibitionists, the anti-saloonatics, the
old soldier, and possibly the Chris
tian voter. And in forthcoming is
sues, with the Tribune's kind per
suasion, I expect to address myself
to these matters. I have determined
to change my nom de plume, and in
future efforts I shall be known as
PRO BONO PUBLICO.
The Unitarians.
The American Unitarian Associa
tion has entered the Idaho field in
dead earnest. A few months ago that
association appropriated from its
funds $2250 to be expended in this
State, and a resident minister has
been established at Boise, Rev. John
C. Mitchell, and another minister will
be established at Lewlston. These
two plaèes will be made centers of
Unitarian illumination, and the sur
rounding cities will be served. The
Unitarian Church Is not a very In
tense missionary organization. It has
no written creed; its antecedents are
the Congregatlonalists. A summing
up of their faith would be, The Fath
erhood of God, the Brotherhood of
Man, the leadership of Jesus, salva
tion by character, the progress of
mankind upward and onward forever.
The business center of this associa
tion is at Boston, Mass., and from
their headquarters they distribute,
free, religious literature, and Includes
selections from the best of modern
religious thought. Such eminent au
thors as Emerson, Holmes, Longfel
low, Hawthorne, Channlng, Alcott,
Prescott, Bancroft, etc., are fruits of
this small religious sect.
Judge Smith's Defeat.
Judge Smith, in the seventh judi
cial district, was defeated for no oth
er reason than that iu the face of
threats and intimidation he had fear
lessly performed his duty. The Demo
cratic candidate who defeated him
had the support of the Socialists and
all others who oppose the enforce
ment of the law when their friends
are in the toils. So bitter were they
against Judge Smith that the Social
ists abandoned their own candidate
for judge and threw their strength to
the Democratic candidate, not that he
was any more favorable to their
cause, but for the moral effect they
expected as the result of Judge
Smith's defeat. No one can tell how
far-reaching this will be, but It is
gratifying to all who respect the
courts and desire to see every man
have a fair trial to be assured that
Mr. Bryan, the successful Democratic
candidate, Is a man of high character
and will not permit the Irresponsible
socialistic and anarchistic clamor to
deter him In the least in the full and
fearless performance of his duties on
the bench. * The any thing-to-beat
Smith fight has won, but have the
opponents of good government gained
by the victory?—Idaho Press (Wal
lace),
Modern Poultry Culture.
We are learning many new things
in the management of poultry and
we are compelled to unlearn some
things that we once learned. Meth
ods of poultry keeping are being
greatly simplified and much that was
once considered necessary is now
thought to be useless and unneces
sary. One thing that we have learn
ed is that much lees space can be
used for keeping poultry than laid
down in the text books, if we use
the proper methods of management.
A free range, once thought necessary,
has been found to belong to the past
age. Some experts have demonstrat
ed that fowls can be profitably kept
In close quarters if the conditions
are made right. Professor Gowell,
of the Maine Experiment Station, on
his own farm kept 2,000 pullets in
one house, an area of 200x400 feet,
a little over two acres. Each fowl
bad four square feet of house room,
which would naturally be considered
limited quarters, and was only made
possible by keeping them in large
flocks in curtained houses. These
pullets laid from 600 to 900 eggs per
day during December and January.
If 2,000 laying hens can, as has
been demonstrated, be successfully
kept on about two acres of land, then
live acres are capable of supporting a
complete plant from 2,000 hens and
the growing stock to renew the layers,
and such a plant with proper manage
ment should pay from $2,000 to $6.
000 annually. We are In an age of
intensive action and we must come
to making the most of what we have.
Keeping down the cost of production
by producing large numbers from n
small area of land—not every man
can do this. Some will fall. But it
has been demonstrated to be possible
