Boise, May Mcdonald, Mccoy &
Co., of Chicago have been awarded the
bonds to be issued under legislative en-
actment Of last winter for various state
purposes. The aggregate of the bond is
sues authorized is 100000, while the
successful bidders offer for these bonds,
to draw four per cent interest, was
s475,699 If all the bonds run their ex-
IRENE life ofstwenty years, the interest
will amount to 1929 per cent This per
centage will be materially cut down if
the option Of payment at the end of ten
years is taken advantage of by the state.
The interest on the bonds during the
ten years would then be less than three
per cent. However it is not very like
ly that the state will attempt to pay off
the bonds at the end of the ten year
period
Bids for the bonds were opened in the
state treasurers Office on Saturday, and
were as follows: w. H. Rollins &
Sons, Denver, s474,0S4.75; N. w. Harris
& Co., Chicago, $461,145; Bankers Re-
serve Life Co., par and accrued interest
for $25, 900 to So, 900 of the bonds; Dem
nison, Prior & Co., Cleveland, $473,254:
Kountze Brothers, New York, $101.75 and
accrued interest: Merchants Loan &
Trust company. Chicago, s467,605; Nc
Donald, Mccoy & Co., Chicago, $414699;
F. R. Fulton & Co., Chicago, $474,297. 1t
was decided to accept the McDonald-Mc
Coy bid, with the proviso that all legal
investigation should be pushed through,
and the purchase completed within the
next thirty days.
The following is the list of the bonds:
miscellaneous improvement $4,000; land
surveys, 5000; soldiers home, $4,000;
reform school, $4,000; capitol building,
$100,O00; Academy of Idaho, $45,50O;

$4,000; Lewiston normal, $4,000; Albion
normal, $4,000; penitentiary, $4,000;
wagon road, $4,000. These bonds are
all of the ten-twenty variety. with the
exception Of the survey bonds of $4,000,
which are called 5-20's. That is to say
that all the bonds have an extreme
limit Of age Of twenty years. although it
is optional with the state, whether they
snail be called and paid after ten years. |

SCORE BY INNINGS.

When the last ball was pitched Lee
few cut to Provincial and the new bal
looked good to him and he pocketed it.
The Pocatello Tribunes version OF
the game is as follows:
II an interesting and well played
game, the feature of which was strong
and impetuous rivalry, Pocatello went
down to defeat before the strengthened
Blackfoot team yesterday afternoon.
Although Blackfoot was shut out for
| seven innings she scored enough in the
first and fifth to win the game. The
game was lost for POcatello in the first
inning, when Reuf, good outfielder
was unwisely placed on second base
His two errors in the first inning were
costly and had they not been made the
side would have been retired before any
runs were made by the visitors, but as
a result five runs were made and this
practically settled the result. The game
was well played and from the third in
ming was errOrless for both teams. The
pitching yesterday was splendid eX-
hibtion and Bowling pitched mastery
ball after the first inning. getting four
teen strike-outs and not allowing sin
ton also pitched we'll but not up to the
standard of his opponent. The Salt
Lake pitcher got but six strike-outs
and gave two bases on balls, but he
pitched steady ball and deserves credit.
Those who would criticize PocatellO for
losing game should not overlook the
fact that Pocatello has lined up in ev-
cry game with home players, excepting
one man yesterday, and Pocatello has
lost but two games Of the eight played
while the game yesterday is Blackfoot's
first victory Of the season. 1t is a well
known fact that every team in this
section with the exception of PocatellO
is paying several men, and some Of
them are paying high prices at that,
and still Pocatello has the best record
of any team in this locality up to the
present time We cannot expect to win
every game but the boys are making
a creditable showing against entirely
league teams. Pocatello's average in
the percentage column right now is $50
The score follows:
NOTES.
over two hundred people came down
from BlackfOot to see their ball tossers
carry away the honors of the day and
the rivalry between the two mines as
well as the spectators was intense,
though at the same time resulting good
naturedly. We don't like to go down in
defeat, but when we must. we do so
cheerfully and we would little rather

The Grove City base ball team,
the Blackfoot Juniors, played an
interesting game with the second
term at Idaho Falls last Sunday,
resulting in a score of 10 to II in
favor of Idaho Falls. The Jun
iors play pretty swift ball. There
was not many rooters at the game
for any one except the Falls
team.

Next Sunday the Pocatello team will
play Montpelier on the latter's ground
and in this instance they will have to go
against the same proposition, hired

WEATHER FINDERS

Little Cotton Land Prepared Corn Planting in Progress.
 Status of Fruit Crops.

For the week ending April 10 cool wet weather delayed farm operation the first of the week; the latter part was more favor able, and considerable progress was made in preparing the ground for crops, except in the eastern portion of the state, where the ground was still too wet generally to be worked,
 Very little cotton land has been prepared. Considerable corn has been planted, and some is coming up to good stands. Oats are mostly sown, and where up are looking well. Wheat is doing nicely. Pota- toes being planted and some are up to good stands. Peaches were winter-killed generally in the northwest portion of the state; in other sections they passed through the winter nice- ly. Apples, peaches, plums and pears are in full bloom over most of the state, and the out look for full crops is very prom ising at this time. Strawberries are blooming, and a full crop is indicated. Stock is not in good condition in some portions of the northwest section of the state.

STATE WITNESSES

Marianna, April 12. Charged with desecrating the grave of Edward Pitts at Searcy, eX-May- or John V. Roberts of that place today heard the principal ev- idence the state had to offer. The testimony followed closely that given in Judsonia last Octo- Der, when, in a justice of the peace court, Roberts was ad- judged guilty of the same charge, fined $1,000 and assessed six months in jail, and from which he appealed. The same wit nesses went into the same de- tails of the ale g ed plot, embracing the robbing of the grave of Edward Pitts, the pass ing off of Pitts body as that of Dr. R. G. Lightle, upon whose Z life there was $21, ,000 insurance, the disappearance of Lightle and the alleged connection of Roberts with the plot.

 PENITEN1IARY SENTENCE FOR NEXT CONVICTION
For Peonage Promised by Dis trict Attorney Whipple In
 Federal Court.

NLittle Rock, April. 12. There have been twenty-six convictions in the United States District Court in the last eight days, and the most important of these are <the seven for peonage.
 SSIt is safe to predict" said District Attorney Whipple, "that peonage has been effectually bro- ken up in Arkansas, for it is gen. erally understood that the next man convicted of the offense, will be sent to the penitentiary."
 The Ashley county planters who were convicted, were given the minimum fine, because this was their first offense, and they said that the conditions under which if had been committed had grown up unconsciously about them, so that they really did not realize what they were doing.
 This will not be the end of their troubles however, since five of the negroes whom they brought from Texas to be held in peonage, two of the Logans, two of the Andersons and Char ity Dodson, have employed coun-. sel to bring suit against the Pughs for $10,000 damages each for false imprisonment. These suits will be filed in the federal court.
 The federal grand jury has re- , turned an indictment against Robert Hill, a wealthy negro .planter of Warner, Lincoln coun- r psflpthe charge of peonage, by holding two other negroes, Henry Davis and Vim, Armstrong, for period of six months. He was called and not appearing, forfeit was taken on the bond given in the preliminary examination be- fore Commissioner Burnett at Pine Bluff, and an alias capias is- sued.

SHOOTING TRAGEDY
 AT GAINESVILLE.
Half-Intoxicated Negroes Resort To Guns And One of Them
 Is Killed.

Clarksville, April 12. A shoot ing affray at Spadra last night ended in the death of a negro named Ed Wheeler, his slayer being another negro named Cooper.
 Cooper surrendered to the authorities after the shooting and according to the story told by him to the, jury at the inquest an attack was first made on him by the dead man, and whisky seems to have been at the bottom of the trouble.
 According to Cooper, Wheeler came to his house shortly before the killing, partly intoxicated, and ordered him to furnish some- thing more to drink. After a row, caused by the refusal of Cooper to furnish whisky, Wheel CT drew his gun on Cooper and tried to shoot him, but the gun failed to work. Cooper then seiz- ed his gun and shot Wheeler, with fatal results.

 J. M. Gibson spent a few hours in Newport Wednesday.
 The Jacksonport Singletree Co. are now operating their plant.
 Elmo Riddell and George Wilk- ins spent Wednesday in Newport.

 We hear that the Muirhead Shingle Co.,, will resume work at their mill just north of town in a short time.
 J. Marion Quick, Willie Nelson and Oscar Pike Massey, have been busy the past week in the walnut business.
 Quite a crowd of Jacksonport people walked, Cor strolled l should have said), out to Befgen Lake last Sunday; the day was beautiful and everyone enjoyed themselves.
 Pond Switch is becoming pop ular, as well as certain parties there. The writer noticed items from that place in the Post-Dis- patch Monday; that paper called them ''rural gems" and they were.
 There was a correspondent at Diaz, l believe, advertising for pretty girls to fill vacancies there. Well, my friend, we have not ad- vertised yet, but are thinking se- riously about it, as we do really need some more girls here, real lively, sweet and lovely girls, you know. Don't mention it at pres ent, but I think that in the very near future we will endeavor to coax few our way.
 Speaking about "Gems," the Auvergne correspondent writes them without a flaw, the closing of his article last week was fine. While we are not so far advanced in years as the correspondent at Auvergne, we do recall with pleasure our happy by-gone school boy days; although the school house of our youth is far, far away, we can at all times picture the happy throng of chil- dren spending the most delight full times of their lives at differ ent games and full of mischief. But l am leading away from news-notes, so let's see what the other folk have been do- ing.

Alaska Is very fortunate in hav- ing Major Richardson named as head of the road commission under the provisions of the Nelson bill. The major Is described by men who are acquainted with him as being a typical frontiersman, who has the best interests of Alaska at heart, and this will mean much to the'dis,rict, for upon him depends in large measure the expenditure of the road money. He is man who is conversant with the needs of new country like this, and Alaskans can depend upon his do- idg the road work where it will be to the best advantage of the coun- try in general.
