GOOdiNg interviewed

Governor-elect Gooding was in
Boise a few days ago. He was
busy getting his business affairs n
shape preparatory to starting for
St. Louis. He wishes to make a
careful inspection of the Idaho ex-
hibit there, with a view of seeing
how much of it can be used in the
display at Portland next year. 1t
is essential, he said, that the State
have a good display at the latter
place, and he said he would do all
he could to make the exhibit thor
ough1y representative of the re-
sources and industries of the State
and a credit to the people.
Speaking of political matters, Mr..
Gooding said hewas entirely satisfied
that there we're no new cases of po-
lygamy in the State, and that there
were no polygamists but those who
took plural wives before the mani
festo. Nor did he believe there
was church dictation. The people
were thoroughly aroused on the
subject, he said, and the church
could not dictate if it wished to, as
it would be resented by Mormons'
He added that the coming Legis
lature would do all that should be
done in the enactment of legislation
There would be strong adultery
laws, a strong unlawful cohabita
ton law, and also any other meas
ures necessary. Moreover, if it wa
found that anything was wrong il
the Mormon counties, it would b.
corrected.
Mr.. Gooding reiterated his deter
mination to make an effort to brin!
about the construction of a railwa
connecting the northern and south
ern portions of the State, as he ha
received a great number of letter
on the subject.

Great Profit in Sugar Beets

Great Profit in Sugar Beets
Hon. G. G. Moore. in a recent
interview said: There were 1000
acres planted in beets in Fremont
county this season and the yield |
ran from eight to 90 tons to the |
acre. Just to show how remunera-
tive sugar beets are in our section |
let me cite an individual instance.
A tract of III acres of alfalfa land
was bought last year for $7o an
acre. The alfalfa brought a re-
turn of $40 an acre, the second crop
being plowed in for fertilization.
The tract was planted in beets this
year and produced IS tons to the
acre for which 81. so per ton was
received, or gross return of $SI
an acre. The cost Of Japanese labor
was $40 an acre and that of white
labor $40 an acre, leaving a net re-
turn of $41 an acre for the beet
grower.
CAT the beet sugar factory in
Sugar City $780, 900 was paid out
during the month OF October for
labor and for the hauling of beets.
This sum does not include the
amount paid for the beet product.
1t merely represents the pay roll
and the cost Of getting the beets to
the factory"
Charles Alexander, an old resident of
Nampa. and at one time quite prominent,
was stricken down while standing on G

to his home, north of the track, and re,
ceived every attention, but he expired
about 2: 30 Sunday morning. Death was

Idaho's State building took sec

only covered 81 feet square of

times as much. In the New York

eralship has been made in a way
that carries with it the assurance of
the president that he would like to
have New Works governor in his
cabinet of younger men which
Roosevelt is understood to want as
his associates during the new adj
ministration.
It is the view of Ex-Governor
Blacks friends, both in New York
and Albany, that he will not accept
the attorney generalship, because it
would mean sacrificing a law prac-
tice which it is said nets him nearly
S1oo, 900 year, and which his
friends say he could retain ii he
should be elected to the United
States Senate. For this reason, the
ex-governor's friends assert, he
would prefer otake the senatorship.

Words of encouragement are new
err out of place, says the Haley
Times. We may speak them un-
thoughtedly, but they will not fail
to do good. The person who gets
the praise will feel much better;
some think that a person does no
more than his duty when he does
his work we'll and that he is moi
deserving of praise. This may al
be- so yet at the same time a few
words of encouragement will cos
you nothing and will cause the
other person to think much more

INDIAN WARDS
WINNEBAGO TRIBESMEN SUNK IN
pc. DEGRADATION.
No Legal Marriages Are Celebrated
and Conditions Are Steadily Growing
Worse-Indians Regarded as Legal
Prey of Bootleggers and Thieves.

Omaha, Dec. 3.-The United States
grand jury reports a deplorable situa-3
ton on the Winnebago Indian reserva-
ton. Its findings are made on the
basis of testimony given by Father
Schell, the priest who has recently vis-
tied the Indians, and on much other
evidence given by others. The report
says: "That a large number of the
LOO Winnebago Indians are in
a sad Z and deplorable condition
must be admitted. * We believe
that this unfortunate condition has
been largely brought about by the
unlawful sale of liquor ITO Indians and
their utter disregard of any marriage
ceremony. -r..5
"The other cause Of Generalization,
and which, from the testimony, is
growing worse from year to year, is the
marriage relation. The marriage ques-
ton is one that should be taken up by
the state. But the state does absolute-
~ nothing.
cit is a fact that the conditions are
growing worse; that no legal marriages
are celebrated; that most of the young
Indians, particularly, live with an In
dian girl or woman for few months
without any marriage ceremony what
ever, and then take up with another,
and so on

Ing Of Importance . t-
With reference to the money question, it may
be stated that three months ago one of the
great insurance institutions had $25 ZOO, 600 cash
in its own vaults, which 1t did not deposit any
where no bank wanted to pay even nominal
rate of interest for it. No doubt this money
has long ago been loaned There is plenty OF
market in these days, when there are twenty
bond syndicates or speculative pools borrowing
money in lots of $5,00O,000 and upward The
feature of the bull campaign in the stock mar.
ket is the concentra ton of borrowers The com
nissionhouses which usually borrow in lots from
$4,000 to S250,0O0 are carrying less than the
average amounts of stocks. a year ago it was

At present is borrowing $40, 900. 00(

connected with the case. The boy, a
student in the high school here, took
out the insurance policy last January,
making it payable to his mother. His
father, Erick Smith, had taken out a
policy in the Maccabee lodge in 1925,
and had died in 1899, after brief III
ness. The boys elder brother, John,
took. out a $4,000 policy in the Wood
men IS lodge three months after his
fathers. death, and died eighteen days
after taking it out. AS soon as Frank
reached the age OF Is he also took out
q. policy in the Woodmen s lodge, and
his death occurred just three months al.
terward. His physicians were puzzled
to know the cause OF death, and sent
his stomach to the state chemist, who
found there were traces OF aconlte. "A
coroner's inquest was then held, and a
verdict was returned that hte boy died
from the effects of poison administered
by some person unknown to the jury.
Since that time the Woodmen s lodge
has refused to pay the insurance, altho
the, customary application has been
made, and the mother has instituted the
present suit. The Woodmen refuse to
pay, on the ground that the boy, in fill
ing out his application for insurance
made false statements relative to the
cause Of death Of his father and brother.
He alleged that the father died from
pneumonia, and his brother from some
intestinal ,trouble.''s These answers,
the defendant organization says, were
incomplete, false and untrue state
ments, and the bylaws of the order pro-
vide that in case false answer is given
in an insurance application, the policy
is void. It is probable that the case
will come to trial in January.
