slipped on the ice covered steps just
as he was leaving his Office IN the
Real Estate building for the noon hour

long time on account of the diseass ed

cases of tomatoes, and that notice had

editor of Statesman:

Editor of Statesman:
The Yakima Republic Of last Sat
urday published an alleged interview
with me in which 1 was quoted as pre-
dieting the election of Representative
Wesley L. Jones as the successor Of
Senator Ankeny. This portion of the
alleged interview was an absolute and
unqualified fabrication. For years
Senator Ankeny has been one Of my
best friends, from whom I have re-
ceived many favors, and I have never
for a moment favored the election of
any other republican as his successor.
Certainly l would not favor Congress-
man Jones of Yakima as against
home candidate.
The basis of the interview was talk
of not longer than two minutes at the
hotel. just before l left for the train,
with a young man who introduced
himself as the son of an old friend.
had no idea that 1 was being inter-
viewed All I said was to compliment
Representative Jones on the good
work he has done for Yakima and to
predict the nomination and election Of
William Jennings Bryan in 1908. Out
of this Colonel Robertson. editor of
the Yakima Republic. probably manu-
featured the interview in which | am
placed in the false light of supporting
a Yakima man for senator in prefer
ence to my friend, Senator Ankeny. I
cannot allow this alleged interview to
stand without contradiction that 1 may
be placed right with my home people.

CR|CKETS RAID AFREM0NT FARMER
Pests Cause Untold Damage and
Ranchers Appeal to State
for Aid.

There is trouble with crickets in
Fremont county. The insects have
often bothered farmers over there, but
this year they seem to be more vora-
cious than usual, and the governor
has been appealed to to do something
to assist the people in the contest with
the invaders, says the Idaho States
man. 1t is the intention of the latter
to visit the country this week on
Tuesday and Wednesday to make
personal investigation of the situa-
ton.
The state has no funds with which
to assist in the campaign, but the
governor has asked the department Of
agriculture to send men to the scene
to give what aid they can.
Some years ago the governor sent
Mr.. Simpson to that section to in
vestigate the pest. He found the
crickets hatch out in the sand beds
in the vicinity of Market Lake but no
| means has been found of eradicating
them.
| This year the insects have started
on the march in force from their sand
hills across the fields of the Snake
valley in Fremont county and nothing
has sufficed to stay their course. 1t is
said the farmers have built 12O miles
| of fences to turn the Tue but that has
not proved sufficient.
