Ha ba brought about flrat tha demand
for an equitable tax levy, and oecond a

litical fortunes for tha future will bo
meaaared by both phaes of tho altua

Importance of tha extra session.
Imavertaat geaal Pereeeea.
That la aoon to take plaoa la hie
tory, and It la to bo a history of far
reaching eonaequence In that It will
affect not alone the Interest In course
of present development, but aa well the
people and tho money whlrh are being
attracted to Idaho through ita many
and varied developing resources.
It will bo of prime Interest to ob
aerve whether or no the membership of
tho 11th aeaalon arlsea to the spirit of
the occasion with tela great trust. They
have the opportunity, atripped from or
ganization or other features which ueu
a.iy con. r on t a a State Legislature just
convening. They are acquainted and
have committees to appoint. They win
..art no routine matter to look after
which should aerve to ronauma time.
Tne Governor overcame the necessity
cf calling special elections In the sev
eral t-ojntir where reslsnatlona had
been filed with him. by falling at tha
time of their filing, or at all. to ap
prove these. This makee the member
s'. up substantially the aame except In
caae of the two removals from

br elections prior to tha Urns of the
convening of the extra session. These
vi.-.r.de. occurred by Repreaentative
lj-II moving to Oregon and Repreaen
tt.ve He'.U'kson to Washington.
People Desaaad Keller.
The people of Idaho demand relief
from a ayatera of taxation not equitable
between properties of like value In dif
ferent counties. They demand modi
fication which will serve to make the
tax bardoa lighter and easier to meet. ,
These demands aro made not alone by
the rich of whom the state has but
few but on behalf of the laboring
classes as well, who become at once
Interested In the effect which the leg
islation will have on the large cor
poratlons or Individual by which they
are employed.
Furthermore, It Is not the history of
the state that Legislatures have given
aerlous and profound consideration to
questions affecting the people so dl
rectly aa does this Issue at this time;
or for hat matter, very much con
ulceration to tho trust Imposed npon
them. It has been the ordinary com
ment that the adjournment of a session
was hailed with a sigh of relief, that
too many laws, unwise and useless ones,
would tall to find their vt to the
atatute booka of the commonwealth.
Here and In this caae theae men are
called together for a speclflo purpose,
and that purpose has -been made a
burning one with the people from Its
m-.terlal equation.
There Is an elegant opportunity
present for men In the 11th session to
display their bigness.

PENDLETON". Or, Deo. -0. (Spe
cial.) That the state will be able to
rear at least 1000 pheaaanta In oapuv
tty during the coming year la the belief
of C K. Cranston, chairman of the
Btat Fish and Oam Commission, who
ha lust returned from a visit to the
atate's pheasant farm near Corvallla.
Cranston Is snthusiasUo over the pros
pects for s successful year and believe
that in Oene Simpson, the manager, vne
Board has as great a wlaard la his
line a Burbank Is in his.
The Commission not only hope to be
able to tock different parts of the
state with game bird not to be found
there st present, but It hope to make
the pheasant farm self-supporting, as
well. In order to do this a portion of
the 10.000 eggs expected to be laid In
1911 will be sold, as the present Incu
bating capacity of the farm Is Insuf
ficient to handle all of them. Aa a
ready market la anxious for the surplus
eggs at fancy prloea the question of
maintenance will be largely aolved in
thla way. though Manager Simpson has
been lnatructad to uae every egg pos
sible In order to make the output of
birds as large as he can. Baaing n:a
estimate on prevlou years' results,
stmrson says he will bring S000 birds
to maturity In 11S.
That the farm'a manager nnderatands
tha business of poultry-raising as well
as pheasant breeding la evidenced by
the fact that be sola nana eggs values
at 1500 In 111. Some of theae were
sold for Incubating purposes, but the
greater part of them were eold In the
open market Hereafter sn effort will
be made to keep pur strain of poul
try exclusively In order that more eggs
ran be sold for Incubating purposes at
Incubating prices, thus Increasing me
farm'a revenues. Chlckena have bean
found to be necessary for the success
ful Incubating and rearing of the young
pheasants.
A limited number of mature pheas
ants will also be tor sale. The Chinas
sell at It each for ban and II.lt for
male, the pore Mongolian for $1
eaoh; the Silver for 111 each, the
Golden for III t pair, the Reeve for
120 and the English Black Neck at 10
pair.

Total Output for Past Year
Reaches $18,420,000.
MUCH LEAD TAKEN OUT
Famous Coeur d'Alene Mining- Prop
erties in Xortli Tet Lead Rest
of State in Their Production
of Prcclons Minerals.
BOISE, Idaho, Deo. 80. (Special.)
The development of many new mining
propertlea and active operations on the
old and reliable mines of this state
during the past year has run the total
output of all properties In Idaho up to
the grand total or ii8,42U,uuu. ana
while the year has not been a record-
breaker in the strict sense or the word,
It Is considered by mining men as an
exceptionally good one.
The total output of Idaho metals for
the year Is summed up as follows: 60,
000 ounce of gold, 270,000,000 pounds of
lead, 8,400,000 ounces of silver, 1,760,000
pounds of ztno and 2,300,000 pounds of
copper. Other metals have been mined
with profit, while' extensive coal beds
of arrest value located In Eastern Idaho,
together with phosphate deposits In the
same section, opens up a wonderful
field for a future Industry.
Kew Mines Paying-.
Two bis; profit-producing mines add
ed to the long list In this state within
the past year are the Pittsburg, Idaho
and the Latest Out mines In the Upper
Lemhl country.
Idaho County promises to beoome one
of the noted mineral sones In this state.
judging from the development that has
actually gone on there. A bund vein
that has not as yet been extensively
explored was but recently encountered
In the Earner ridge and Beaver Creek
district and the chunks of float ore
that were assayed showed the speci
mens were literally perforated with
coarse, native gold running as high In
one instance as 160,000 to the ton, a
figure that almost seems Improbable.
Coeur d'Alraes Still Lead.
The famous Coeur d'Alenes of North
Idaho still leads in the production of
minerals. This year . was a record-
breaker in spite of the great depth at
which the metals are being mined in
two instances exceeding 3000 feet be
low the apex of the vein, where richer
ore In larger volume Is being encount
ered and produced than in the higher
shallow levels, and with the new and
Important ore developments. Its mineral
resources promise to last Indefinitely.
Among the most Important new mines
of the Coeur d'Alenes that have pro
duced a large tonnage of rich ore dur
ing 1811 are the Stewart and the Cale
donia, at Wardner, where some of the
richest values every discovered In the
district have been disclosed In large
bodies that give definite evidence of
the characteristic permanency of the
staying qualities for which this field is
noted.
At Bnrke the noted Hercules mine 1
running a new cross-out tunnel to be
two miles in length which makes ths
third mining tunnel of that length in
the district. Ths present lowest level
of the Hercules shows the greatest
strength for the probable magnitude of
Its future rich ore resources at further
depth of any mine In the district.
