WORK AT MINlDOKA
d. z Hubbard Says Reclamation
bitches will be Completed on
Schedule Time.

d. r. Hubbard Of the contract
ing firm of Hubbard and Carlson,
which has contract with the gov
ernment for the construction Of
about 81 miles OF bitches in the
Minidoka reclamation project, has
returned to this city from Mini
doka. Mr.. Hubbard says that
gratifying progress il being made
with the work in hand, and if
nothing unforeseen occurs to delay
it the project viii be completed on
schedule time.
Mr.. Hubbard's firm now has a
large force of men and teams at
work and the force is being enlarged
as fast as this can be done, but
laborers are not as plentiful at this
time of the year as might be
wished. A good many men who
might otherwise have been engaged
on the work at Minidoka have been
drawn to the harvest fields Of the
north and east, and the result is
that labor is comparatively scarce.
1t is Mr., Hubbard's belief that it
will take the better part Of a year
to finish the work rndertaken by
his firm, but when this is is done
and the other features Of the Min
idoka project also completed there
will be in southern Idaho an effec-
tive testimonial Of what the gov
can do in the redemption
Of arid land when It takes hold of
such an enterprise Statesman.

This is 'one on Mr. Choate,'' our

Cured in London, just after the visit
Of Lord Denbigh with the Honor
able Artillery company at Boston.
A well-known Boston Ancient was
calling at the embassy, and. being tho

remarked that he must feel consider
ably like the first dove out of the

hooked his feet around the fore legs

member correctly. the first dove ney-

Theology was not the Ancients
strong suit. so he did not venture to,
argue the point but that night he
borrowed a Bible, and wrote Mr..
Choa.e that. without wishing to cast
any reflections upon the ambassadors

looking up Genesis viii, and was re-
lieved to fnd that the dove not only
got back all right but made q sec

That Feeling Beyond Lower Animals
Says John Eurrouch.

That Feeling Beyond Lower Animals
Says John Rurroueh.
An Iowa correspondent asks me t.
give him my opinion as to whether os
not any OF the dumb animals have
sympathy, SAYS John Burrough in Out
ing, and adGed that a minister at a
funeral in their town had said that no
animal except man was capable Of
sympathy. I agree with the minister
Sympathy, l think, is beyond the low
er animals. When we sympathize
with a person we put ourselves in his
or her place we feel s -ry for him;
we pity him; we would gladly allevi-
ate his suffer ing-all Of which implies
more or less Imagination and dim
terested regard. Susceptibility to the
sufferings of others is one of many
higher attributes. When sympathy
was born the race lifted above the
purely anima' plane.
The next step is taking the suffer
ings of others upon yourself. which is
the highest form of altruism. Pure
selfshness rules the lower animals
and necessarily SO. Symratly is not
necessary for the continuance Of the
SPECIES, but affection for their young
is. Animals certainly hive a feeling
Of comradeship for each other, and ex
'perience something like grief at sepa-
ration, yet a dog or cat or a horse
or COW will sniff at the dead body Of
its dead fellow with apparent uncon-
cern. A cry of distress among the
birds will bring every bird within
hearing to the spot, and cause thel
to be more or less agitated. but it is
only because they are alarmed for
their own safety; cnmon enemy
may be about. In the herd and the
flock a sick or wounded member is
often fallen upon by its fellows and
destroyed.
If any animal ever experienced the /
emotion we call sympathy it is. OF
course, the dog. The dog has SO long /
been the CON panion Of man that he /
often shows in his nature trace of I
the purely human

JUSTICE DEFRAUDED
BY LACK OF FUNDS

A shortage Of the county criminal
fund for October has resulted in the
failure to capture three men wanted by
the authorities for alleged felonies.
Where these men may be when. the
fund is replenished next month is a
question. The probabilities are that
they will have moved to places of safe
ty and justice will have been defrauded
by the lack Of few dollars.
Hennepin county has $1,000 a month
to be used for the capture of criminals
and to defray all of the extra expenses
Of the sheriff's office. Over half of
this is used each month in the handling
of insane patients alone, and the re-
extraditions, etc. Very y es Seldom, #
ever, is the fund ADEQUATE for the
needs of the office, and often criminals
that are badly wanted are allowed to
escape because there is no money on
hand to defray the expenses of arrest
ing and returning them to Minneap-
oils
This weakness has been particularly
marked during October. Early in the
month the fund was exhausted. Since
that time there have been three cases
Gated in other states and had to be left
there because there was no money tt
go and get them. In one case a mar
indicted for large embezzlements was
located in western state by Deputy
Sheriff George 10th. The officer ap
pealed to the bankers who had beer
defrauded to advance the funds to ge
their man. At first they said they
would furnish the money. Later the.
decided that perhaps it would b
"throwing good money after bad" am
refused to give up the money.
"There certainly should be some pro
vision for catching and extraditin
prisoners, said prominent lawyer re
Gently. FfI have known personally 0
sevral cases where the whereabouts O
criminal were known by the officer:
but on account Of delay in getting tn
funds they have escaped: The presen
fund is entirely inadequate. There Gel
tainly should be some legislation where
by money can be had for such purpose

ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN

FIGURE FOR WEEK.

Flour shipments Of 4s6,367 barrels
make another weekly record for Min
neapolis, and for the third successive
week the figures are up to new high
points. ..ss.z. % -
So often have the figures for daily
and weekly shipments moved up to new
levels of late that millers have ceased
to comment upon them. Every time the
mark went up, the prediction followed
that it would stand. It is probable, in
deed, that these last figures will not
again be surpassed, yet the mills are
grinding at their utmost capacity, and
there is the possibility that even few
more barrels may be squeezed out next
week. - = -
The milling business is experiencing
the greatest boom ever known. Or
ders are coming in SO fast that the
mills are sold Far ahead. Even before
the foreign situation turned buyers this
way, there was q domestic demand of
immense proportions, but the disturb
ances in Russia and fear that that
country, owing te the strike, and a
very short crop, will be unable to con-
tinue exporting wheat, has made the
situation acute for European buyers.

SMITHS. FAMILY'S
BILLS HELD Up
TAxPAYEks QUESTION UHARGEs
TO COUNTY FOR ROAD.
Three Relatives OF County Commission.
er Andrew J. Smith Have Been Sup
plying Fuel at Prices Much Higher
Than Those offered in Competition
Validity of the Law Attacked.

The validity Of bills for wood de-
livered to the county by three relatives
of County Commissioner Andrew j.
Smith, the constitutionality Of the law
providing for the advertisement for
bids on all contracts over 500 and the
power Of the county commissioners to
favor friends, relatives or any clique
at the county's expense-these. are
some of the points being tested by a
argued and submitted to Judge I'll. D.
Dickinson.
The case at bar is an appeal to the
district court from the allowance to A.
L. Smith, J. E., Smith and A. M. John
son for bills for wood aggregating $500.
All three men are relatives Of County
Commissioner Smith and in two weeks
last March they sold to the county in
less than $lO0 lots 6rewood worth about
The statute provides that bids must
be advertised for on all purchases the
estimated value Of which is over $1OO.
In order to favor relatives, it is as
serted, the purchases were split up III
small lots of less than $1O0 value. This
is what the taxpayers in the present
case purpose to stop. ~
The immediate cause Of the test case
was an advertisement by, the county
wood. Despite the fact that the ad
vertisement contained the hard condi
tion that the wood must be delivered
upon demand Of the board, whether il
winter or summer, there were severa
bids submitted. All of them were
lower than the price paid to the Nom
bers of the Smith family. The bid ac
cepted was by Wisconsin dealer VIII,

apolis for $4.90 cord, whereas tn,
same kind of wood has been costing th
county $3.50 a cord in less than $40,
/ lots. - -,.. .=~.. F. 80.
The taxpayers in the present appea
are represented by. Assistant Count,
Attorney W. G. Leary and by W. M
Babcock and George L. Nevius. Th
Smiths, represented by Judge John H
Steele. contended on. the hearing tha
constitutional in that it is special legis
lation, since it applies to counties O
over 100000, when there is no reason fo
the distinction. If the court holds wit
Judge Steele on this point, it may Gu
wide swath in Hennepin county law
as the salary laws and many others wi
come under the same objection. Th
claimants also contend that the OK
. iectors must show fraud
