Received His Pardon.

The state board on Thursday last
granted full pardon to Fred Howard
who was serving a term of seventeen
years in the penitentiary for rape com
mitted in this county, he having served
four years and two months of the time
His pardon was granted on the recon-
mendation of the prison physician and
the warden, who stated that Howard is
suffering from severe case of appendici-
tbs, his health being in precarious con-
dition.
His pardon was also recommended by
Judge J. G. Rich, who formerly presided
over the Fifth district, and who sentenc-
ed Howard to prison. Judge j. M. Ste
vens, who prosecuted the case, also rec
commended the pardon.
The application of Farley Crofts for
pardon, he having been sent to the peni-
tentiary from this county for grand lar
ceny, receiving an eight years sentence,
was continued until the October meet
ing of the board, as was also the applica-
tion of James Robinson who is serving a
one year term for forgery.

Mrs. Dubois Injured.

Manila, Aug. 12-Mrs. Dubois, wife
of Senator Dubois of Idaho, one of the
party now visiting the Philippines with
Secretary Taft, was thrown from her
carriage during a runaway and was ia
ken to the hospital where she lay three
hours unconscious. An examination
shows her injuries are not dangerous,
although she is badly bruised and the
accident will probably interfere With
her going on the southern trip with the
Taft party.
Regarding the free admission of Phil
ippine products into the United States,
it is stated that the leaders of the op-
position to the policy of reduction of
the Dingley tariff on sugar and tobacco
has been materially changed. Several
members of the party declare themselves
in favor Of the free admission into the
United States of the above product

A Modern LaWbreaker.

Now it came to pass on the fourteenth
day of the eighth month, that one Grit
fifth whose initials were j. H., looked
upon the sun when it was red, and then
went into the carpenter shop of Stevens
ard Jones. The moon sign was in Cap
ricornus, the goat, and effected the
knees SO that Griffith was weak and he
stole bit-brace and other tools which
he secreted under his robe while he
wended his way to Upper the bargain
man. Howbeit there was one McDon-
aid, salesman of r. w. West the i'm
plement man who was possessed Of
much understanding and warned Tup-
per by wireless that the goods were like
unto contraband of war, and Upper be-
came thoughtful about his bargains and
waited till the keeper of the prison ar
rived and took away the offender into
the bastile which is under the floor of
the seat of justice. Then came the bar
risters and the wise man of the bench
and judged that he was not faultless
and consigned him to thirty days among
the sinners behind the bars where he is
now serving in penitence.

Wreck on the Short Line.

Last Thursday wreck occurred on
the Short Line which proved quite dis
astrous to railway property but fortu-
nately no lives were lost. Owing to the
heavy traffic occasioned by the Portland
fair, the westbound passenger No. was
made into two sections, the second run
ming two hours late and the first on
time. An operator at Mountainhome
gave the conductor on the freight train
orders to the effect that No. / was two
hours late, and the freight conductor,
thinking there was only one No. l, did
not wait but tried to run to Glenn's
Ferry.
He met the first section of No. l at the
foot of Medbury hill while both trains

The Water Question.

There is a section of Snake River that
is short of water When all the canals
make full draft on the river the sup
ply is exhausted and some farms are
left dry. The water that turned down
to the lower canals last Tuesday from
the South Fork did not afford the re-
lief it was expected to, because SO
much of it was lost in the river bed
coming down. Another division is
now being made to nourish the crops
in this locality. There will be quite
a serious loss on some of the crops,
and the only good we can get out of it
will be an object lesson, the glst of
which is that we need to store the
freshets on the headwaters and to con-
struct great feeders to Fdivert the
water out of the river bed. We are
collecting information to show some
thing of the enormity of this loss, and
the saving to be made by diverting
the water away from the gravel bars.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
(For the Week Ending Monday, August 14.)

(For the Week Ending Monday, August IA.
WEATHER.
Throughout the week the temperature
remained high in all parts of the State
and precipitation was confined to a few
local showers, only in very few in
stances heavy enough to be of materia
benefit to vegetation. Some high winds
occurred, doing slight local damage to
fruit and shade trees. Water continues
to fall, the present stage of many streams
being the lowest ever known.
CROPS.
Fruit t-Excessive hot weather, togeth-
er with shortage of water for irrigation
in some localities, is having an adverse
effect, and will probably reduce the gen
eral yield somewhat; individual orchards,
however, where proper care has been
given, promise fair to good yields.
Blackberries are not so plentiful in the
warmer valleys as they were week ago,
while peaches, peach plums and apples
are becoming more abundant; packing
for shipment will soon become active.
Grain-Rapid ripening of small grain
is resulting from the hot weather in sec
tions where the crop is not already ma
ture, and harvest is progressing as rapid
ly as possible; this rapid ripening will
cause some reduction of the yield in
many localities, but the total crop will
probably exceed the average; this is
especially true in many eastern localities,
and of fall wheat in the northern por-
tion of the State; threshing is making
good progress in the northern and south
western grain growing districts. Hot
weather is of great benefit to corn,
which is caring we'll.
Grass Water is falling SO rapidly that
there will be very little third crop alfal-
ia harvested, and the yield from the
second cutting in many instances is con-
siderably reduced, though in fields
where water has been abundant, good
yield is secured. Only small acreage
of second crop clover will come to matur-
ity. There is still fair to good feed in
the higher mountains, but grass has be-
come so short on the lower ranges that
in some instances stock is suffering
Vegetables and Melons Favorable re-
ports continue to be received relative to
the condition of sugar beets, there being
few exceptions to the general rule. An
effort is being made to save water for
late potatoes and garden vegetables, and
these crops will probably not suffer
greatly in irrigated sections. Melons
are becoming fairly plentiful in south
western markets, and quantities are being

Irrigation Engineer

George Swendsen was in Blackfoot be-
tween trains Thursday attending to some
private business. He is brother of
Edward and Peter Swendsen of the west
side and is an irrigation engineer whose
work has won him some distinction in
the Reclamation Service. He is now en-
gagged on project to divert part of the
Colorado River from Strawberry Valley
through the Wasatch Range into the
Salt Lake Basin. This work was
brought to the consideration of the de-
partment under the administration of
State Engineer Doremus of Utah about
three years ago. and has been for some
time in charge of Mr.. Swendsen who
stated that the plans have been approved
and that he will probably let contract
in October for the four mile tunnel to
carry the water through the Wasatch
Range.

'tGOne FIuey"

The Snake River Valley league has
gone glimmering. The information
came today that the Pocatello team has
thrown up the sponge. Not even under
the skillful management of Billy Trapp
could they hold out the season. How
ever, it is but fair to say that Trapp
took the management after it had been
badly tangled in the midst of the sea-
son. The Blackfoot team has suffered
numerous streaks of bad luck in the
way of accidents to the players and
other unfortunate circumstances that
has made it mighty effort to hold
them together, but Manager Jones has
persevered and the Blackfoot aggrega-
tion is the last one to 60 up.
Idaho Falls has been more fortunate;
her players have been able to escape ac-
cidents, and under the careful manage
ment of Mr.. Clay has made good show
ing. Rexburg has already quit, leaving
some talent on the market. "Dad' Gin.
lin, at st. Anthony, has not yet indicat-
ed his position, but the fact that he will
have to ''fock" by himself after next
Sunday would make it appear that he
and his bunch will soon be looking for
new fields.
A number of the members of the
Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, Rexburg and st.
Anthony teams are from Utah, principal
ly Salt Lake and Ogden. Steltz, the
pitcher for the local team, will go to
Spokane, it is said.
The first attempt to maintain a league
in this locality has not been altogether
gratifying, but it can be said that, con-
sidering all things, the outcome could
have been much worse. 1t is the inten-
tion now to organize again next year,
and the experience of this season will
doubtless be of help to the promoters in
getting ready for good ball in 1906.
Wessler has gone to his home in Og-
den but Will return soon to open a Cigar
factory; Steltz has gone to Spokane;
Paris Martin goes back to Cornell Uni
versity: Sage is bound for the mines at
Sheridan, Wyo.; Jones will remain here
permanently; Henry, Ruffo and O'Leary
will remain in this vicinity for several
days.

The Junior base ball team defeated
the Indians last Monday afternoon in
game played at the fair grounds, in
a score of 10 to IL. The Juniors have
not lost game this season and play as
good ball as "frst' teams in most
towns. The attendance was not good
at the game Monday. If we turn ont
for the home boys, we will soon have
a team of local players and wont need
to hire men for this sport.

were killed. Both engines, eight freight
cars and a mail car were destroyed.
The shock of the collision was suffi-

direction, put out all the lights on the

sufficient to choke any one, but beyond
shocks and bruises no one was injured
to any great extent.
In the freight train there were two

An Enterprisine City.

United States Consul Hamm, Hail.
England. in Consular Reports: AT a
recent meeting of the corporation tele-
phone committee it was announced,
that the charge for unlimited service
would be S24.3% per annum TO private
houses and S3O.65 to business premises.
The National Telephone company
has been compelled to reduce it's rates
fn3m $48.6G to half that amount. 1t is
stated that in the agreements which
the National Telephone company has
with practically all the large towns and
cities in England it was made a oon-
| dition that in case it reduced its ull-
limited service rate in any place be-
low $4S.66 a similar reduction must be
made if demanded in all other towns.
In each instance, with the excep-
ton of the crematory and the baths,
the municipaiization of public utilities
in Hull has resulted in profit to the
| city treasury. The profit, it is true,
is small, but the charges for these pub
lie services are extremely low. A / d
on the street cars in any direction to
the enc of the line costs only 2 cents:
an exclusive telephone service In q pri-
waite hoase costs less than S25 a year,
and in a business office about $50 a
year. GAS is sold ages cents per thou
sand feet n electricity at 9 cents: per
unit.
The object is not so much to make
a profit fcc, the city out of these .utili-
ties as to furnish the public with the
best service at the lowest possible
price. Viewed in this light. municipal
ization in Hull can be pronounced a
success.
