A STORY OF ASSASSINATION.
Governor Of Idaho Makes Public Part OF
Orchards Confession.

BOISE, Feb. Ex-Governor Good.
ing tonight issued the following state
ment with respect to the Governor
assassination case:
II want to state officially that Har-
ry Orchard has made q full confession
as to the manner and motive Of the
assassination of Ex-Governor Steu.

gate, on the evening Of Dec. 30, 1905.
and was the third attempt Orchard
had made ag gainst his life. This con.
fession was made to Capt. James Nc.
Partland. 1t included q history of
his life from his early boyhood up to
the time of his arrest. In that confes.
sion, Orchard implicated all those
now under arrest, and others, includ.
ing j. J. Simpkins. He told the story
of 26 murders, the result of conspira.
cies in which all the accused parties
were interested. When this story is
given to the public, l believe it will
be the greatest narrative of crime
which the world knows.
"There never has been any doubt
as to the truth OF Orch ards confes.
sion among those who are familiar
with the crimes committed in Idaho
and Colorado, aud charged to the
inner circle of the Western Fedora.
tion> of Miners. I have seen Orchard
myself since this confession was made.
He told me that he was not promised
either clemency or reward by MIR. Nc
Partland or any one else. Mr.. Nc.
Partland was aided in his work by
Orchards early training. In his boy
hood the Bible was read night and
morning BY his parents. The impress
sion of the early days came up and
smote his conscience when he was
brought face to face with his God.
He told me that he believed in the Su.
preme Being and hereafter, and that
now his one thought was to make peace
with his Maker.
The state desires to secure justice.
There Is no thought of furnishing the
innocent or waging war on any labor
organization. The assassin alton of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, q grave
Otfense against the state of Idaho,
was committed. As its executive, l
felt it my duty TO bend every energy
toward the discovery of the guilty
parties and their fitting punishment.
There Is no question about fair
trial No higher class OF citizens can
be found than those who live In Can
yon county. They have no prejudice
against any class of people, be they
laborers or capitalists. I am a firm
believer in organized labor, but l
feel there must be more of au effort
made by The members of such organi-
cation to select more men of high
char acter as their leaders. There has
been some complaint made as to the
close confinement of Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone iu the penitentiary. l
wish 1t understood that as much leni.
ency will be given them as the rules
Of the prison will permit. They have
not been given prison garb or prison
food. They have been furnished the
same food as is placed on the table OF
the employees OF the prison. They
will be given ample opportunity for
exercise and with the exception of the
state papers, they will be allowed any
newspapers they desire" "

NORTHWESTERN IS
NOW NEARING LANDER
Freight and Passenger Trains
Will Be Running There
October 15.

According TO adviccs from Lander,
Wyo., the Chicago & Northwestern will
enter that town in the course Of the
next few days, and ii nothing unfore-
seen happens regular passenger and
freight trains will be running 10 that
point by October 10.
1t is the intention of the citizens of
Lander to make the entry of the rail-
road memorable occasion, and they
propose to invite all the State officials
to Lander and TO have addresses by
Senator Warren, Gov Brooks, Con-
gresham Mondell and others. a sug-
gestion has also been made that the
nominees of both the Republican and
Democratic parties upon their State
tickets be invited and time be allotted
them to make addresses upon whatever
subject they choose.
To Salt Lake City the occasion is an
important one, as 1T marks the approach
of great railroad system a step nearer
this metropolis. Whether or not the
Northwestern is seeking Il direct outlet
on the Pacific coast, II is virtually
agreed as a settled fact that the line
must come TO Salt Lake as central
point. Here it can make direct con-
ncctions with Los Angeles and San
Francisco, and from this city 1T has a
choice of routes, This is the natural
point to which all the roads are gravi-
tating, and ii is more than possible
that within The next two years the
Northwestern will be established in

NO DATE YET FIXED
FOR BEGINNING WORK

"A y. hldgway, general manager Of

Will remain for several days making

are made in the plans, and at present
no approximate date can be given when

Speaking of the Bingham branch, Mr.,
Ridgway said that work is progressing
as RAPIDLY as possible. considering the
scarcity of labor, and he expects-it will
be III operation in about six months.
1t was anticipated that this branch
would be completed at an earlier date,
but the difficulty of securing labor has
protracted its construction.
Referring TO the rate bill, Mr.. Ridg-
way said it is the intention of all the
railroads in the country to carry out
the enactmcnts both in letter and in
spirit. The public will receive q benefit
from the act and it will equallze mat
ters for both parties.
While Mr.. Ridgway made no refer
ence to the matter, it is currently
rumored that some important changes
are contemplated in the operating de-
partment of the Rio Grande, and an
nouncements are expected in the near
