The Commissioners have received from
Josiah Willard, President of the National
Patriotic Federation, q. statement relative
to the removal of Susan Burch, q girl Of
legal age, to the House of the Good Shep-
herd, and her detention there against her
will This statement was prepared by Mr..
Willard and adopted by the Federation in
reply to a letter from the Commission
ers containing the fact of the detention
of the girl.
It appears from the statement of the
police that they were requested by NJ r
Burch, the girls father. to take her TO the
House of the Good Shepherd, Mr.. Burch
saying he feared she would not go there
quietly with him. The statement of the
police also goes to show that T. Il Amer
son, United States District Attorney, sub
mitted an opinion that the police did not
exceed their authority IL the matter.
The Federation in it's statement severe
ly criticises the action of the police in
forcibly taking to the House Of the Good
Shepherd a girl of legal age at the re-
quest Of her father, without the swearing
out of a warrant therefor. Miss Burch' s
home is at BalIton, Va.

lon, of the Pacific Express company,
land will drive out all the others in very
short order. Those now in the market
comprise California and other southern
states. They are good for the first
melons of the season, but are not equal
to the Idaho product.
There is no other melon grown that
compares with the Idaho cantaloupe.
Payette. on the Oregon Short Line, near
Boise. is the great headquarters for the
melon industry and the growers handle
them in immense quantities. We shall
distribute full carload day, when the
season opens, to Anaconda, Helena,
Great Falls and Butte. The melons come
up in less than a day, by express. and
aer in prime condition.
Montana is too cold for melon rails
Ag on large scale. There is a great
demand for them, of both the water
