Harvesting With automobiles.

The cost of harvesting wheat on the
Pacific coast has been so lessened by
the use OF automobiles that greater
amount OF the grain can be produced at
the same actual expense than in tthe
Argentine Republic, where labor costs
only fraction Of a dollar a day. The
large automobile traction engines now
used in California are of fifty horse
power and are provided with driving
wheels sixty inches in diameter. They
do the blowing, planting and harvest
ing in their proper seasons. One trac-
ton engine performs the triple work
of blowing. harvesting an1 planting

Want Exclusive Franchise.

The Water, Light & Power Company
have come before the city with re-
quest that they be granted a 3O-year
exclusive franchise TO manufacture
and distribute gas throughout the city.
The present franchise expires in
1903 and the company claims that the
plant needs repair and that in order
to do SO they must have an extension
of lease of life, and that they will
furnish gas at not to exceed $500 per
thousand cubic feet.
There is no question but that in OIL
der to improve their plant the COM
pany should be granted an extension
of franchise, but when they incorpor-
ate the little joker exclusive" there
is where the trouble comes in. This
one word places the city for thirty
years at the mercy OF one corporation
for what gas it will use, good, bad or
indiff erent, and deprives all others
from competing in this commodity.
Superior is destined to be great city,

change in the place, and our city

Hanged for Murder,

On Friday last Edward Rice was
hanged at the Boise penitentiary
for the murder of Matthew Riley,
an inoffensive old man who kept a
cigar store at Wallace. On the
morning of October 1, 1900, his
dead body was discovered in his
little store. He had been struck
on the head and his throat cut.
Either wound would have been
fatal. Suspicion pointed to Rice
as the murdeyer.l He was arrested
and denied the killing, but a very
strong chain of circnmstantial evil
dence was wrought around the
man and upon trial he was found
guilty of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to the gallows. Six
months ago he attempted suicide
by cutting his throat with a case
knife, and it is believed he expected
to be reprieved on account OF
insanity.
The death warrant was read and
Rice listened to it with apparent I'M
concern. As the black cap was be-
ing adjusted he was asked if he had
a confession to make. and he said:
You fellows are in too big a
hurry. There's plenty of time"
And SO he died.

The Vanderbilt inheritance tax
question is being tested. The heirs
have already been compelled to pay
state tax OF $500, 99S, and now a
federal tax of 1926, 500 has been de-
clared against the estate by the in
ternal revenue department. The
case is being watched with inter-
est throughout the country, as
it is in a large measure test
case OF the much discussed inheri-
lance tax question.
Idaho has no inheritance tax law
because there are no millionaires in
the state, consequently, the reve.
nues would not pay for the admin.
istration of such a law.

POOR CRITICISM.

A correspondent of the Sites
Patriot undertakes to hold Grange
vile responsible for the bad condi-
ton of the road between Sites and
Newsome, because the county COM
missioners did not make an appro-
priation for that road. Just how
and why Grangeville should be
held responsible for the action or
inaction Of the county commission
ers the Newsome correspondent
does not state. The commissioners
do not meet in Grangeville and
even if they did the people Of
Grangeville have no strings on
them. The commissioners are
elected by the people of the entire
county and are under oath to do
their duty, and we do not believe
that they could be induced to show
Partially in any direction. The
road between Newsome and Sites
is in great deal better shape than
the road between Sites and Grange
vile, and we venture to say that
there are 100 times the number OF
passengers and 100 times the vol
ume of freight travelling between
the railroad and the prairie than
there is over the mountain road,
and yet we are not advised that
the commissioners Disseminated in
favor of the road which is of SO
much Importance to Grangeville
and the prairie. The one request
which the business men of Grange
vile made of the commissioners was
for an appropriation for the road
into Buffalo Hump, and how much
did they give us? Let the records
answer. Such criticisms are child
ish and only serve to arouse unnec-
essary antagonism where none
should exist. All the roads in the
county are in deplorable condi-
ton, and the state treasury would
be insufficient to keep them in
good repair under the present
wasteful system. And incidentally
we wish to remark that there are
enough old-timers left in the New.

Concerning Thunder Mountain
Mr.. Blow, mining engineer
VIII" recently visited Thunder
Mountain, tells the Haley Times
that the property Col. Dewey is de-
veloping, aud for which he has
just paid 100000, is a porphyry
dyke Of huge dimensions that out
crops $50 feet in height; is trace
able on the surface for consider
able distance, and is OF great width.
1t can be quarried and mined in
the chapest manner possible.
A 20 horse power boiler, COM
ple'e sawmill outfit. and 10
stamp mill have just been packed
to the camp on mules, and Super
intendent Rabbit, the we'll known
civil engineer said that he would
have the mill running by the first
Of January.
Colonel Dewey is evidently
pushing the work as vigorously az
the surrounding conditions will
permit; and by next spring the de.
velopments will undoubtedly cause
great rush to the region.
There is some phenomenally
rich ore there, but from what he saw
and was told Mr.. Blow is con
vinced that it will be medium
grade camp; that the ore will aver
age IS to 80 q ton. But it will bt
milled cheaply as it is free, ani
wood and water abound. That il
will be a great camp is beyond /,
doubt, az there are worlds of or,
there.
