DAMPHOOL LAWS.
Brother Bates, of the Parma
Herald, in his last issue gives the
following comment on the laws
passed by the recent legislatures,
and shows how wise (?) and con
sistent they are.
"In Montana the other day a
man was fined $200 for playing
a social game of "solo,
course, if he played a game like
some of our acquaintances he
should have been hanged, but
that is not the point; if he had
played pinochle the law would
not have been violated.
According to the Sunday Rest
law in Idaho you can play base
ball, but if you sing "Jesus Lov
er of My Soul" in an opera house
you will be arrested; you can buy
all the ice cream, coca-cola, ci
gars, etc., that you want, but if
you buy a loaf of bread you will
be pinched; you can buy a beef
steak at a restaurant, but not
at a meat market; you may
catch the big fish, but you must
not have them photographed;
you inay buy a distillery or a
brewer, but you can't buy a
drink; if you steal, a ride on a
train you will be vagged and get
30 days, but if you steal the
railroad or a Carey Act project
you will be a hero and vote thé
republican ticket.
And some good citizens often
wonder why the people are losing
respect for the laws, and aredrift
ing into socialism and anarchy.
Still, when we contemplate
Brady and someof the "bulwarks
of the nation" as exemplified by
the late, but not lamented, mem
bers of the Idaho legislature, we
feel to congratulate ourselves, it
might have been worse."
In the above article Bates
drifts into the common erro of
those who are wedded to either I
one of the old parties making
anarchy and socialism synon
ymous terms, when they are
in fact entirely the opposite.
Webster defines, anarchy as
"confusion." Can any thing be
conceived that would create
greater confusion then the laws
to which he refers? And who en
acted these laws but the leaders
of the republican and democratic
parties? The only logical con
clusion is that these political
parties are striving to bring
about a state of confusion, i. e.
anarchy, and the sooner the
more safe, sane and conservative
ideas of true socialism are adop
ted and put into force the better
it will be for the entire country.
When legislatures composed of
the modern republicans and
democrats convene, they ap
parently loose sight of the pat
riotic principles of our forefath
ers and in order to keep away
from the reforms advanced by
the socialists, and other reform

ers, put in their time enacting
such "damphool" laws as to
which he refers.

Walter H. Olin, vice president of 1
' ,
the Dry Farming Congress and
T ,
superintendent of exhibits of the
„ . . _ „ , ,
Exposition. Prof. Olin attended
, , . ,
the Libert county fair recently
, ,
and saw samples of some of the
. ... .
crops raised in that region.

A. G. Cornforth, one of the di
vide farmers, was an exhibitor of
flue grasses and grains. He told
Prof. Olin that he had never seen
better crops than were being
harvested this year throughout
the county. His exhibit as dis
played at the Elbert fair will be
included in the Colorado exhibit
atBilling8.
N. B. Alderman of Elbert, Col
orado, told Prof. Olin that his
Russian red wheat averaged 43%
bushels an acre on 35 acres.
Other farmers in that vicinity
harvested 25 to 30 bushels of
wheat.
Around Limon, Colorado, the
wheat averaged 30 to 40 bush
els. This is in a distinctly dry
farming country.
Three of the dry farming coun
ties of eastern Colorado exhibited
at the Interstate fair at Denver
and will send their exhibits to
Billings. They are Lincoln,
Phillips and Kit Carson coun
ties. The Lincoln county ex
hibit took third premium in the
sweepstakes competition for
county exhibits showing the
largest and most varied display
at the Interstate fair. This was
in competition with irrigated
products.
Kiowa county, Colorado, is
also expected to have a display
at Billings.

A. Frederick Collins, inventor
of the wireless telephone was
awarded the highest award gold
medal for wireless telephones,
recently at the Alaska-Yukon
Pacific Exposition. Commercial
utility and technical superiority
being the grounds on which the
houor was conferred. The most
j powerful wireless telephone trans
j initter in the world is among the
i group of mechanisms. The in
I ventor is now on his way from
New York to Seattle as a result
of plans made to establish Col
lins wireless telephones in the
Northwest.

The electrical power plant to
be installed on Boulder Creek by
the capitlists who purchased the
'Big 4" group of claims in that
district, will not only be ample
for the lighting and running of
all the mills in that section, but |
enough additional Dower will
be generated to amply provide
the entire Oreana and Bruneau
section with an excellent light
ing and power service for years
to come, and if desired the
power could also be furnished to
Jordan Valley, Caldwell, Nampa
and other points. The generat
ing capacity of electrical power
on Boulder Creek is unlimited.
With the generating of im
mense electrical power on Bould- j
er Creek an electrical railway
skirting the mines of this camp
and penetrating through tha
rich irrigation section of Owy
hee County to some point on
the O. S, L. is within the range
| of easy possibilities.

With a largely increased force
of miners at work on the Ban
ner, the resumption of active
operations on the Silver City
and other nearby properties,
and with the mammoth under
taking of Mr. Scoville and asso
ciates on Boulder Creek, the fu
ture of Silver City certainly has
a bright outlook, and we predict
that the year 1910 will witness
the greatest mining activity in
the history of the camp since
early days.
Some excellent fruit was
grown to a high state of perfec
tion in the irrigated district of
Owyhee County this year; apples,
pears, plums, prunes and berries
of almost every variety.
How would it seem to be rid
ing in a trolley car from Silver
City to Dewey, DeLamar and
Jordan Valley, and to Nampa
and Boise?

The Sa.nita.rv Adva.nta.ges of Pure Animal Wool.
1. Wool gently stimulates the skin.
2. Wool is a non-conductor of heat and electricity.
3. Wool woven and made by the Staley methods absorbs
the perspiration, thereby preventing the wearer from
suffering through sudden changes in temperature.
We are the sole agents for this line of underwear and
overshirts and will take pleasure in showing this line, which
is the most complete to be found in the city.
