TACOMA, Oct 17.-The Washington
Bridge company, of Which Mayor HUI
son is president and Perry Dickinson
secretary, was enjoined by some of it's
stockholders today from collecting S.
900 due on the contract for building a
bridge across the Snohomish river at
Everett. The stockholders also ask
that a receiver be appointed. They
claim that Husop and Dickinson drew
the overdraft without authority. De-
PENDANTS claim owing to, the failure to
pay the contract price they had to raise
money to pay for labor. They hold
that all the transactions are perfectly

lDAHo's PROGRESS.
The Few Mortgages Made Are for Perma-
nent improvements.


The state of Idaho forms the subject
of one of the most recent in the series
of extra census bulletins devoted 10
statistics of farms, homes and mort
cages. The bulletin devoted to this
state show that there were in the state
in the census year 1918 families, of
whom 5,1l5, or 2s.24 per cent, hired
their farms and homes, and 12,99s, or
71.76 per cent, owned them. OF the
owning families, 1,4s4, or 11.42 per
cent, had farm or home incumbrance,
and IL, 514, or ss.5s per cent. were free
of incumbrance. In 100 families on the
average 1924 hired their farms or
homes, $40 owned with incumbrance,
and 63.57 owned without incumbrance.
The farm families numbered 1897,
constituting 42.15 per cent of the total
number of families. OF the farm fami-
lies 1908, or ss.57 per cent, owned, and
Ola, or 11.42 per cent, hired the. farms
cultivated by them, while of the own
ing families 1,156, or 80 per cent, had
membranes on their farms, and 5,927
had no membranes.
1t appears that in 1880 4,72 per cent
of the farms were hired, SO. that there
was an apparent relative increase Of
farm tenantcy during the decade, but it
is pointed out that the sources of the
statistics are not the same, fact which
may affect the comparison.
The home families numbered 1O,116,
constituting So. SIS per cent of the fami-
lies of the state. OF the owning fami-
lies 5.5s7, or 94.46 per cent, owned free
of incumbrance, and 32s, or 5.55 per
cent, owned subject to incumbrance.
AS regards the reasons for mourning
farm and home Indebtedness, the inves.
tigation discloses the fact that 47.23
per cent of the farm debtor families OF
the state incurred 51.3O per cent of the
farm debt for the purpose of buying
real estate and making real estate i'm
provements when these objects were
not associated with other objects, and
that for the same objects in the case Of
homes Ga. Az per cent of the home debtor
families incurred 65.O1 per cent of the
home debt. Real estate purchases and
Improvements, business and purchase
of personal property, when not asso
ciated with other objects led 65.4s pei
cent of the farm debtor families of the
the state TO incur 1890 per cent of the
farm debt, and 1923 per cent of thu
home debtor families to incur 90. 80 pc,
cent of the home debt.

Gen. CarIin Recommends Several Changes
in Location.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Brigadier-Gen
w. p. Carlin, U. S. A., commanding the
military department of the Columbia,
which includes the states of Oregon,
Washington, part of Idaho, and the ter
ritory of Alaska, devotes large part of
his annual report to the secretary of
war, Just received at the war depart
ment, to arguing the necessity for aban-
donment of some small posts in the de-
partment, because of their inaccessi-
bility, and the establishment of larger
posts in place of them at points near
railroads ard the larger cities and
towns.
Gen. Carlin recommends the discon-
tinuance of Fort Spokane, Wash, and
the construction of a post near Spo-
kane. Port Townsend, he says, is use
less to protect the cities and harbors
on Puget sound and he thinks the gar
rison should be removed to some i'm
POA hdAL POlAls OhC3 IL hOL lWO POlhla,
in addition to those named, could, in
Gen. Carlin's opinion, be abandoned
with advantage to the government.
Fort Candy, at the mouth of the Co.
lumbia river, would be of great i'm
portance in time of war with naval
power, but it is inaccessible In winter
and only small garrison is required in
time of peace.
Fort Stevens, on the opposite or
southern side of the river, is also a
point of great Importance, and Gen.
Carlin urges that it be strongly forth
fed. He reports that desertions in the de-
partment of the Columbia showed an in
crease during the year, and he says that
an attempt to enlist company of In
dians resulted in failure.

SCRAP AT GARFIELD
THE RESULT OF TOO MUCH BOOZE
Il. T.. Steele and A. Il. Sbaks the Par
Elephants, but Fortunately No One
Was Injured.

GARFIELD, Oct. 1s.-The quiet of our
town was disturbed this morning by
shooting scrape between e. e. Steele
and A. T. Sinks. The latter is bar
tender in P. NJ. Standards saloon, where
Steele was drinking and gamaling all
night, during which time some trouble
arose between them. About 6 o'clock
this morning Steele entered the saloon
and snapped his revolver twice at Sinks
just across the bar, but the instrument
failed to fulfill Mr.. Steele's expectations.
About o'clock Steele came down the
street, when Sinks pitched into him.
After brief struggle they separated,
and Siuks started for a rock. Steele
then drew his revolver and fired, the
ball narrowly missing Sinks. Both
parties were arrested. Steele was held
under $500 bonds to appear before the
superior court. Sinks is still on trial.

1T is Claimed That the Boys Mother
Knew of the Disgrace.
PALousE, Oct. 16.-The Bowlsby incest
case occupied the time in Justice
Northrup's court from early to late
yesterday. The case was bitterly con-
tested. The court excluded everyone
not interested in the case, save repre-
sentatives of the local papers, and
every precaution was taken to keep
down the sensation. The evidence of
the state showed the intimacy of the
defendants for months under the eye
of the boys mother, and once at least
they were caught IN the act. The de-
Tense tried to prove an alibi, and the
girl, who will become a mother in a
few DAYS, swore that the author of her
ruin was Ernest McCotton, who ran a
shooting gallery here during last win
ter, but she has neither seen nor heard
of him since. The defense was failure
so far as results go, and the court held
the defendants for trial in the superior
court, Nov. 10. The girl was released
on her own recognizance, but Bowlsby
was held in 81 900 bonds, in default OF
which he was taken TO jail at Colfax.
This is one Of the most peculiar cases
in the criminal annals of Whitman
county. The girl, Jennie Bowlsby, is
only seventeen years of age, and Is
well connected, her parents living II
Eugene, Or. Bert Bowlsby, the alleged
author of her disgrace, is her uncle
He is only twenty years old, but is not

ment is sever enough.

STILL MORE BINDING
NEW CHINESE BILL PASSED
Mr. Geary Succeeds in Getting His Pho
tographing Clause Into McCreary's
Chinese Bill.

WAsHINeToN, Oct 16.-The house de-
bate on the McCreary bill to extend the
provisions of the Geary Chinese exclu-
sion act for six months was resumed.
Ex-senator Henry w. Blair OF New
Hampshire, who was nominated to the
Chinese mission by Harrison, but whose
exequatur was not granted by the
Chinese government, on account of his
hostile expressions toward the Chinese
when the Chinese act passed in 1889,
spoke in favor of the bill. While he did
not think the McCreary bill all embrac-
ing in substance, it covered a policy
upon which the government had en-
tered with reference TO the Chinese.
If the policy we have undertaken re-
spectiug the Chinese immigration is
now to be mutilated or modified, said
he, we might as well assume that the
tide of immigration from all other di.
rections is to flow on unimpeded.
Blair strongly favored the photo
graphing Identification clause on the
grounds that no honest Chinaman could
object to the provision. 1t might fur
nish new rogue's gallery, but what Of
it, He Endorsed the Geary law.
At. the conclusion of Blair's address
the senate amendments to the bill pro
viding for qualifications for votersin the
Cherokee strip was concurred in.
The debate on the McCreary bill was
resumed. Wilson of Washington char
acterized the bill as one of the most re
markable ever presented TO congress
The Geary law had passed by 1s6 to 81
He reviewed the alleged course of the
administration in multiplying the Chinese
and pensions laws.
The McCreary exclusion bill finally
passed the house with Geary's amend
ment as to photographing the Chinese
and defining Chinese merchants.
The vote stood 167 to 8.

MINERS CAPTURE A TRAIN.
Going From California and New Mexico
to Work in Alabama Mines.

HoUsToN, Texas, Oct. 1s.-Southern
Pacific officials here are considerably
excited over news wired in from points
along the line concerning the capture
of one of their trains at Del Rio by
band of sixty-fve armed men, claiming
to be miners from California and New
Mexico, who took possession of train,
driving off the crew and all others who
attempted to dissuade them. They say
they have been driven TO depreciation
by the delay of the senate in settling
the silver question so that business
might be resumed in the silver produc-
ing states, and that they propose going
to Alabama to take the places OF the
striking miners, as it is now work or
starve with them.
/ They are running the train on their
own schedule. All the dispatchers are
puzzled in order to avoid any collisions
with regular trains. They, stop at
different places and levy tribute in the
way of provisions, but so far have com
mitted no other depredations. Being
we'll armed and determined, officers
dare not attack them unless they car
muster q sufficiently large posse, which
cannot be done except in the cities. Il
is expected they will abandon the trair
near the end of the division, so around
the city and by capturing other trains
proceed on their journey.

Isolating Consumptives.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1s.-The county
medical societies. petition to the board
of health to isolate consumptives has
increased their fears occasioned in a
local paper declaring the disease in
fectous. The state legislature of Michi-
gan recently Endorsed this view as did
the medical congress in Washington
and deaths from consumption having
decreased everywhere recently. DIR.
Flick with others ascribes this to
isolation. The majority of medical ex-
perts, however, credit it to the free
broadcast distribution throughout to
physicians of test outfits of the Amick
treatment by which authentic cures
are reported daily in the medical and
secular press.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. ls.-A drunken
painter named Tucker gave war dance
on the top of telegraph pole
ninety feet above the ground yester-
day afternoon. He carried up a flask
of whisky and can of green paint.
With the paint he colored himself green

yelled and danced, attracting a great
crowd. He swung himself from the

in the air, to the horror of the crowd
below. Two linemen were telephoned
for and climbed up. One got through
the trap door, when Tucker shut it and
would not let the other through. He
assaulted the lineman on the platform
and they had brilliant fight. Tucker
tried to throw the lineman off, but the
latter finally got blow with his nip
pers on fuckers head, knocking him
senseless. Tucker was then let down
with rope and taken TO the police
