GOV. Bell Urged to Appoint Commission
to Examine Her.
strong pressure is being exerted to
induce Gov c. j. Bell to appoint con-.
mission of experts to examine into tho
mental condition of Mrs. Mary nj. Roo
ers convicted of the murder of her b,ie
band and sentenced to be hanged az
Windsor February 3, with the idea that
If she is found to be insane the governor
will grant reprieve until after the leg
stature of 1906 meets that her sentence
may be committed by that body. saws n
Montpelier correspondent to the Boston
Herald.
There are such varying opinions re-
gardng Mrs Rogers that It is held the
governor would be amply warranted in
appointing such a commission. The
house unanimously adopted a resolution
for the appointment of a commission n
day or two before adjournment The
senate refused TO pass it, the members
believing that such action was not nee
essary that the governor had the au-
thority to appoint a commission II he
should see fit and that he might grant
q repreve If the report of the commission
should warrant it.
1t is not claimed that Mrs Rogers is
insane in the ordinary meaning of the
term, but many members of the medical
profession believe, as her counsel claim
cd that she is moral pervert and not
properly responsible for her actions.
Governor Bells position has been that he
did not care to intervene in the case with
q reprieve, since the matter had been
gone over thoroughly by the legislature
and that body after deciding not to re-
peal the law imposing capital punish
ment had with consistency refused to
commute Mrs. Rogers's sentence 1t is
being represented to him, however, that
the phase of the question now brought
up has never had due consideration, that
her case has never been before the SUI
preme court, that there has been no or
gauized movement to secure cemency for
her, and that he can appoint a commits
sion to pass upon her sanity without
showing any weakness or appearing to
cast any reflection on the action of the
general assembly.

Gus Settlers Wanted,
Special Correspondence
Blackfoot, Ida, Aug i2,--The frost
and cold spell which came unusually
late this spring, caused our farmers and
beet raisers considerable concern at
that time, as II was feared that the
fruit crops had been killed, and the
beet and other crops injured, But in
travelling around In the various settle
ments now and looking over the excel
lent crops Of corn, squash. beans and
other lender plants one would not know
that we had a backward spring. The
orchards In most places in the Black
foot fiake are loaded with fine fruit
and tho sugar beets are surprising the
beet farmers in their rapid growth.
Many wheat fields Will average from
80 10 60 tushels per acre, and some will
go higher than that. The second crop
OF alfalfa is very heavy, and almost
ready TO gather.
The sugar factory at Blackfoot Is
rapidly nearing completion.
Our greatest need is more good In
dustrlous settlers 10 cultivate the thou
sands Of acres OF good, rich land which
our limited population cannot handle to
advantage. We are blessed with an
abundant supply OF water for irrigation
purposes, and cold, clear and pure wa
ter for drinking and household use.
The health OF the people Is excellent
and prosperity smiles on every hand,

THESE REMEMBER
THE SABBATH DAY.
People Of Canada Never Too Busy
To Observe Strictly the
Day Of Rest,
PENALTY FOR ITS VIOLATION.
No Saloous Among the "Mormons
Annual Celebration Of
squirrel Day."

Hon Angus ", Cannon, while on his
recent visit 10 the Mormon settle
ments IN Canada, was much impressed
with the general Observance OF the
sabbath day. one man, ne says, who
thought he had 10 work sundays in
order to accomplish that which he de-
sired 10, was followed distance Of 20
miles by the officers, and finally ar
rested and fined for his violation OF
the sabbath day. This law is enforced
throughout the Dominion, and the con-
sequence is that there is reverence
felt for that day not common In other
parts Of the country,
The Mormon" settlements have no
fire departments, but in accordance
with the custom Of the country the con-
stable dons a red coat which Is signal
to all citizens to "go thou and do like
wise" in case OF fire, In this way
damage by FIRE Is reduced to mini
mum, for every ablebodied man in
the community is required by law to
lay aside other duties and render what
ever assistance is necessary IN this d.
recton.
SQUIRREL DAY"
Another thing which impressed Pres
ident Cannon was the celebration of
what is known as squirrel day. As
is well known, certain sections Of the
Dominion are infested with prairie
dogs, and IN order to aid In their eX-
termination the government has set
apart q certain day IN the year for this
purpose, and has provided a fund for
the purchase Of strychnine with which
to kill them. This Is scattered over the
wheat and is sure death to all who
partake of It, Thus thousands of the
pest are laid low every year,
While at Raymond President Cannon
heard a notice read requiring the farm
ers to clear their fields of all weeds,
il they did not do so government Of
ficers would do II for them at their ex-
pense. The visitor felt that the en-
forcement Of such a law in this sec
ton would be a blessing.
NO SALOONS AMONG "MORMONs."
President Cannon visited Sterling,
Raymond and Magrath during his alb
sence. These are typical Mormon
settlements and not a saloon Is found
In them. For their absence the Nor
mon" people have been highly COM
mended by the government. Nor are
drug stores allowed to sell liquor only
on the prescription Of physician, so
that IN this way this traffic is reduced
to a minimum.
Before coming home President Cam
non secured a handsome buffalo head,
which he viii present TO the museum
of the Lateer-day Saints university
lie says he got ii simply as a. reminder
of pioneer days In this valley when
bufaloes were as thick on the prairie
as ce1ars were on the bluffs. The head
Is that OF bison captured In the yicin-
ity OF the Mormon" settlements, from
which section the monarch OF the
plains disappeared some 20 or 30 years
ago
Canada says President Cannon, has
some magnificent coal beds, while her
beet fields promise much In the produce
ton OF sugar. an industry now fairly
started IN that section. While they
have had quite a dry spell this season,
crops generally are looking well and the
people are much encouraged as a re-
suit.
