The Idaho Gem State Rural says :
Colonel Judson Spofford, gensral
manager of the Lewiston and South
eastern Electric railway, was in town
today between trains and favored the
Rural Office with a call. He said
all Of the preliminaries necessary to
the work of active construction Of
the road mentioned, which is to be
built from Lewiston to Grangeville,
had been practically completed, in
GLIDING right of way, power site, ETC.,
and that barring unforeseen contingent
cies, the work of actual construction
would De under way in the near fu-
ture. He predicted large results
from the construction of the line
When asked about the possible ex-
tension of the line to the southern
portion of the state or a connection
with road headed for that section,
he admitted that it had been given
some thought by his company. and
believed the project would develop
into a reality.

GIVE US THE REASONS

The gubernatorial situation so far
as the republican party in Idaho is
concerned promises to disentanglc
itself without much trouble and we
have not much doubt that long be-
fore the date of the Moscow con-
vention the party will practically
have settled on the right man. Ev-
erything now seems to indicate that
Governor Morrison will not be the
man, but that he will BE- allowed to
retire with the honors already ac-
corded him. IT'S perhaps too early
to name the next governor, but
here are signs that the abundant
material at hand in being carefully
Weighed and there is little doubt

Much depends in this county on
the vote of the socialist elemsnt in
politics this fall. The party has
bsen steadily gaining converts since
the last election and should their
numbers have increased in other
parts of the county and itats as
they have on this prairie, they will
be able to hold the balance Of power
and perhaps dictate to both the old
parties. The large republican ma
jority in this county two years ago
was dus solely to this element vot-
ing their party ticket straight
Should this same element fuse with
tina democrats or return to its par
ent party, the democrat party, then
the republicans would have some
thing to do besides quarrel over the
spoils of Office. But the leaders Of
the socialist movement, having in
view the humiliation Of the populist
party by fusion with the democrats,
and believing their party has a
future, are not in favor Of fusion,
and as the matter now stands a
socialist ticket county, state and
national will be put up throughout
the United States and a test made
of the stability Of the principles Of
the party as expounded by their
leaders of today.

a bad idea to give this place to

objections. This would clear the
situation in Nez Perez county some

The cause of Union Labor suffered
a severe blow in Colorado this week.
Such dastardly outrages as the dy-
nzmiting of non-union miners can
not but be detrimental to the cause
of true labor. Such outrages should
be punished and the criminals
brought to- justice if it requires the
power of the federal government to
bring about this end

1t now seems probable that
Mormonism, or rather polygamy
will be the rock on which both
political parties in Idaho wilLcome
in contact with this fall. This is
bound to effect the democratic party
to a greater degree than the repub-
lican party. In the democratic par
ty those opposing the Mormon church
are in the ascendancy and bound to
incorporate their ideas into plank
governing tina actions of their party
this fall, In the republican party
things are exactly the reverse.
Those opposing the influence of the
Mormon church are in the minority
and no plank is likely to be inserted
in the republican platform that will
seriously disturb the mind of the
average Mormon.

The street commissioner started
active work this week under the
direction of N. B. Miller, chairman
of the street committee. A system
of drainage for the city has been
outlined and will be put into force
as soon as possible with men and
teams. 1t is the purpose of the
present city management TO avoid if
possible repetition of the floods Of
the past spring and if such a thing
can be to confne the waters to the
creek channel. The plan carries
with it large ditch on Eighth ave-
nue. running from the brow of the
hill near the Ramey lumber sheds
to the main ditch near the Johnson
light plant. bitches will also be
run on Fourth, Fifth and Sixth ave
nues to connect with the main ditch
on Elm street. The city crossings
and alleys will be boxed with three
inch lumber. 1t is hoped that with
this system in operation no more
surface water viii lay on the ground
and that the streets will as a conse-
4uence dry out faster and greatly
improve the conditions of last year.

Senator Dubois and his lieutenant,
Heitfeld, may be playing deep ly-

state campaign.

"RAFFLES"
RETURNS BOOTY
Sends Back a Few of the Keep
sakes He Took from the Cor
poration Lawyers Home with
an Apology.

"Rafhes." the burglar. has returned
to james y. Din, the New York cor
porntion lawyer. more OF the trinkets
which were taken when Mr.. Dlll's
house was plundered some weeks ago
In Mr.. Dill's mail was n package
containing II cigarette case. n ring and
some other trifes which MI. Dill had
expressed n wish that the burglar
should send back.
Accompanying tho package was a let
ter. in which "Rafrles" begged Mr.. Dill's
pardon for the delay in returning the
articles, out the delay was accustomed
by the fact that "Ranles' had been out
of town ION business" connected with
his profession. The letter was well
written, and the fact that the articles
lost by Mr.. Dill accompanied 1t makes 1t
genuine.
Since the burglary and the notoriety
that "Rhnies" achieved when he be-
trayed sentiment in sending back some
of the keepsakes he had stolen, Mr.. Dill
has been deluged with letters from
spurious "Raffleses." His life became n
burden and he dreaded to open mis- mall.
Part of the letter which tho genuine
"Rarles" sent Is as follows:
Herewith you will nnd the rlns
marked f.. W., and the little detail
trinkets, which you in the Interview II
tho public papers requested me to re-
turn, l trust you will excuse the delay,

little time. and, knowing you as wei
Ms / do. think l might add. on busl'

OF Rafles. Is not the genuine Raftlos'
[ have no time for such amusement
and, IL / should ever chance TO run

him that lie Is only an imitation kai-
ies and not the genuine article.
IL do not return these little trinkets TO
you because / ia to. but l
like to be decent and courteous. / have
my own little keepsakes, and l have Il
regard for others who ave keepsakes,
and as the return OF the articles will
no doubt make our little daughter
happy, | therefore take great pleasure
in returning them to you.
you have been a good loser. You
take the II rds as they are dealt to
you. You don't grvmble. 1t gives me
pleasure to do Il favor such as this to
a man who plays his hand as you
play 1t.
''If this man Rallies who is writing
these letters ever writes again just
compare his writing with this. This is
g~enulne-his Is not. II / am ever able
to put my hands upon him, I think l
will be able to give him such a scare
that he will not be able to play Rallies

FRESH SHAKE-UP
Fifteen Captains, Whose Names

for Transfer at an Early
Date.

Notwithstanding the fact that Com
missioner McAdoo announced he con-
templated no further changes in the Po-
lice Department in the immediate flu
ture, there was a persistent rumor
afioat to-day that plans are being
prepared for a second shake-up. in
which fifteen captains and many de-
tectives will be transferred to widely
scattered precincts.
h announcement by COMMISSIONS
McAdoo o Tuesday that he had al
ready made arrangements for the re-
sumption of the three platoon system
regardless OF possible legislative in
crease of the force, gave rise to the
rumor that there was a misunderstand-
ing between the Mayor and his Police
Commissioner.
'If the Mayor got the impression that
we needed additional Legislation before
we could put the three platoon system
in operation" said Commissioner Me-
Adoo yesterday. ut was through my

BURGLAR ROBBED
FLATBUSH HOMES
Man Stole $1,000 Worth Of lew
eIry, SiIverware and Clothing
and Entered Seven Resi-
denceS in Exclusive District.

Seven houses In the Flatbush section
or Brooklyn were robbed some tim,
after midnight this morning. and from
the manner In which they were entered
and the tracks left behind the pole,
are inclined to believe that the worl
was done by one man.
Altogether about 1900 worth of lew
elry, silverwarc and clothing was
taken. The burglar worked so quiet
ly that Mt the home OF Henry Wcrthin
he stole an overcoat that hung ut tho
head OF the bed where Mr.. Werthin was
sleeping. At another house he stopped
long enough TO eat luncheon.
The first place broken into was

found the silverware and In the hall

While the burglar was In the house
Joe" a big st. Bernard dog belonging
to the family. came w on the porch
and began to growl. Realizing that he
could not get cut while Joe
outside, the burglar opened h front
door and lot him In.
From tracks the police discovered
that Joe followed the burglar to No.
1916 New York avenue, the home OF
John Denny, and that before entering
the burglar was kept a prisoner in the
chicken-coop by Joe. But he scared

Inspector Mclaughlin was sarcastic
when he learned about the robbery to-
