Senator Hepburn has secured the
passage Of a number of bills in the
Senate Of importance to Idaho.
Several carry appropriations, and the
rubis going To be in getting them

atiOns Committee in the House has
come down very hard on all appropri-

Hepburn bills are as follows: $4,000
for Investigating the Kootenal River
and a survey Of the oveiiiowcd areas;
$4,000 for the survey OF the Occur

succeeds In getting any OF thenl
through the House. The. outlook,
however, Is very encouraging that all
of these bills will be put through al

decided to grant no appropriations OF

SOUTH is COMING ELDORADO
SAYS THIS CHICAGO MAN
M. B. Burley of Chicago Advises Young Men
to Come South

THE South is the coming Eldorado,"
said Mr.. NJ. B. Burley of Chicago to
a Morning News reporter yesterday.
He who spoke thus is prominently
identified with the Ware e Leland in
terests throughout the country and
has but recently returned from a bust
ness trip through the states of Texas,
Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.
During that time he has had ample
opportunity to study the present fnan-
cial conditions of those states, and he
found nothing but prosperity on every
hand. Il do not know any section
of the country that is more inviting to
capital at the present moment than this
Southland of ours" said Mr.. Burley.
ION every hand I see evidences of
thrift and prosperity that marks it as
the coming section.
This is no utOpian dream, but my
observations are founded upon facts as
l have found them. In the first place"
he continued, the farmer for the first
time in many years has reaped the
full benefit of the advanced price of
cotton.
I'm years gone by, this was not the
case, the producer sold cheap, and
whatever advance there was was garn-
cred in by the middleman, and the mil
Ter. But with rare foresight he has held
his crop, expecting the market to adj
vance, which it has done, despite the
representations of the pessimists, and
despite the war clouds, which have been
lowering over the Orient for the past
fortnight.
Cotton VIII Go Down.
while I do not believe that cotton
is a good buy at the present price
still there is no telling where it will
soar If war is averted. 1 would not be
surprised in the latter instance to see
prices go to IS cents or perhaps higher.
Not that | think that cotton is worth
| any such money, but the bull leaders
are in absolute control of the situation.
| and their will is cotton's ultimatum.
| Should Russia and Japan decide to go
| to war, which now seems improbable,
l would not be surprised to see cotton
take sudden drop of from to 3 cents
| pound.
Il have found" said Mr.. Burley
that the cotton has been most all re-
ported in Georgia, but this is not true
of the states of Alabama, Mississippi
and Texas, and l might say Indian
Territory. In all of those states ]

CALVIN NOT AFRAID
PROCLAINIING INNOCENCE SAYS HE
Is READY TO DIE.
LAW WILL BE EXECUTED
AND HE WILL PAY THE EXTREME
PENALTY FOR MURDER.

Attorneys Have Informed Him That
There Was No Further Hope for
Him, and lie Merely Said lie Could
Not Help It-Says That lie Is In
nocent and That When He IL
Hung "a Wrong VIII BE DOne-Ex-
ecution VIII Take Place on the
Morning of Jan. %.
Willie Calvin, who will expiate the
crime of murder on the gallows on Jan.
p, still sustains the stoical demeanor
that has characterized his attitude since
he was first convicted. and when told
yesterday that all hope for saving his
neck was gone, he merely said; "Well,
! can't help that. l am ready to die"
Calvin still maintains his innocence
of the murder of Rosa Pace, his para
mour. Time and again his attorneys
have sought to have him make a con-
fession even to them, but each time he
has stoutlv denied that he was guilty,
despite the fact that he was brought
face to face with officers who arrest
ed him, and to whom he told an en-
tirely different story from that which
he told on the stand.
His attorneys, Messrs. Francis Salas
and William Pease. announced after
CalVins conviction and sentence that
they would not give up the case until
they made further investigation to see
if they could not ind some grounds or
which to make motion for new trial
Their efforts have been futile, and they
have informed the prisoner that they
could do nothing more for him.
Calvin Says He Is Ready.
To a Morning News reporter Calvin
said that he was ready to die. "Of
course of life is sweet to everyone, he
said. "and l don't want to die. l am
a young man, and have always tried
to do what was right. but if they are
going to hang me out there" nodding
his head towards the gallows, I can't
help it. / am ready and can only say
that when they put the rope around
my neck and take my life away from
me they will do wrong"
Not a single time has Calvin ever
shown fear at his approaching doom
He has grown more reserved, and
keeps more to himself while in the cor
ridors. At times he talks freely to his
fellow prisoners.
Law VIII BE Executed.
Between the hours of 10 a. m. anC
4 p. m. on Friday, Jan. %, the eX-
IRENE penalty of the law will be visit
ed upon the murderer. The dealt
watch will be set twenty-four hour!
in advance of the time for the exc.
cution. 1t has always been the custom
in the Chatham jail to spring the traI
at three minutes past 10 o'clock. There
was no special object in adopting thi!
particular time other than that al
arrangements were completed befor,
the legal hour for execution arrived
and as soon as the prisoner could bt
gotten on to the trap it was sprung
The precedent was set when it hap
pened to be just three minutes pas
10, and this has been followed eve
since.
