SOLVING THE FARM PROBLEM
ON A BUSINESS BASIS
In four years there has been a
jump in Idaho farm production that Is
phenomenal.
In 1921, carload shipments over the
Union Pacific from the farms of
Southern Idaho totaled 151. In 1925,
they totaled 1,213. They included 434
carloads of butter. 455 carloads of
cheese, 208 carloads of eggs and 116
carloads of poultry. It will be noticed
that the shipments were butter or
eggs or poultry, rather than hay or
other bulky commodities.
The Idaho farmers have found that
to reduce feed to the higher values of
dairy and poultry products, results
in products for which there is readier
demand in the markets.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS

Own Surprise.
Washington, Oct. 1. Will Rogers
left the White House today not at

After completing a tour of Europe,
shooting his good natured darts at
the great and the near great, the
humorist yesterday wired a request
from New York to be allowed to pay
his respects to the president and un
expectedly found himself enseounced
as a White House guest.
On receipt of Rogers' message,
President Coolidge requested Secre
tary Sanders to inform his visitor
that a White House automobile would
meet him on his arrival. He came
along after . appealing to Secretary
Sanders to "head me off at Phila
delphia if it's a joke."
Rogers, who has styled himself the
president's unofficial ambassador in
a series of humorous articles, appar
ently delivered his report to the presi
dent in person last night, for ho
was up early and departed for Phila
delphia by airplane at noon.
Before leaving in a "true White

Norris Faces
Fight with G.
0. P. Regulars
Threats to Bar Nehraskan from Hon-'
ors Based on Pennsylvania
Fraud Stand.
Washington, Oct. 1. Old guard re-!
publicans are planning a hot recep-!
tion for Senator George W. Norris
and other insurgents who will soon ;
invade Pennsylvania on a speech-!
making tour in behalf of William B. i
Wilson, democratic senatorial nomi
nee. It is altogether likely that Senator
Norris' activity will be urged as
cause for his formal expulsion from)
the republican party, since it is
known here that republican regulars'
are considering taking action against!
him similar to that adopted toward'
the late Senator La Follette, of Wis-,
consin; Senator Brookhart, of Iowa, I
and senators Frazier and Ladd of
North Dakota.
Senator David A. Reed, republican,
Pennsylvania, is regarded as having
sounded the battle cry against the
Nebraska senator on his return from
Europe, when he said: j
"Senator Norris' invasion of Penn-j
syivania and his effort to elect a
democrat show what kind of a re
publican he is. People of Pennsyl
vania will resent the interference of
the insurgent group of republicans
in their election this year, and may
be expected to register their displeas
ure at the polls by supporting the e
publican ticket throughout."
"Highly Indignant"
The keystone senator declared that
he was "highly indignant" over the1
fact that Senator Norris has deter-
mined to "butt into" the Pennsyl
vania fight, and intimated that the
matter would not be permitted to rest
after the campaign is closed.
Reprisal against Senator Norris is
expected to take the form of opposi
tion to his assumption of the chair
manship of the important senate ju
diciary committee, for which he is in
line by reason of the death of Senator
Cummins of Iowa.
Senator Norris declared recently
that he sought no honors from the
senate, and particularly from the
old guard leadership of the senate.
During the last session of congress
he openly defied the senate managers
to read him out of the party.
Drys Back Insurgent
When Senator Norris resigned as
chairman of the senate committee on
agriculture he declared that he was
trying to unload routine duties that
he might give more attention to mat
ters being considered on the floor of
the senate. At that time the judic
iary vacancy was not forseeii. Since
Senator Cummins' death Senator Nor
ris stated that he was not "greatly
interested" in the chairmanship that
he in the natural course of events
would inherit by reason of his senior
ity.
However, the Anti-Salcon league
and other dry organizations have
been impotuning Senator Norris to
take the chairmanship and it is on
derstood that he has practically con
sented to do so in the Tvent it is of-
iereti mm wiinooi opposition.
His open break with the republican
leaders of Pennsylvania, however, has
accentuated the hostility felt for Sen
ator Norris among the regulars and
it is considered entirely probable that
a movement will shortly be started
to prevent the assumption by the Ne
Ibraska senator of the chairmanship
I vacated by the death of Senator Cum

he is expected to lead the fight to
deprive Jiim of all honors that ordi
narily would accrue to him because
of his long service in the senate.

Miners Entombed
Since Last Friday
are Brought Out
Five-Day Fight to Free Trapped Men
Successful Father of 8 First
to Reach the Surface.
Ironwood, Mich., Sept. 29. Forty
three miners were being returned to
their homes tonight after a successful
five days' battle to release them from
their underground prison in the G.
Pabst iron mine where they were
trapped Friday.
The first man to come out of the
mine shaft reached the surface at
9:30 p. m. to be greeted by the cheers
of thousands, the ringing of bells and
blowing of whistles.
Policemen protected the rescued
miners as they were brought up or
walked out of the shaft one by one.
They went immediately to the mine
rescue car where they were examined.
The first man out of the shaft was

eight children. He was the road in
spector caught alone in the thirteenth
level by the cavein.
Never Lost Hope.
Asked how he felt, Sykelma said:
"I feel just like last Friday. When
we heard the first blasting everybody
said it would be all right. We figured
we would bo up Saturday night. We
set off one stick of powder as a sig
nal and pounded on the iron pipe. We
were careful about taking care of our
wateches so we could tell the days of
the week."
The second group of men emerged
at 10:55 p. m., 10 of the imprisoned
men being hoisted up together. One
of these was Thomas Trewartha, 62-
year-old shift boss. The other miners
were brought as fast as the receiving
ward was cleared. Most of the men
were sent to hospitals for a night's
rest. r
How Men Were Reached.

miners, three rescuers reached the
