ment against Messrs. Charles H.
Meyer. William d. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone, the Western

been approached with offers of COM
pensation for information OF evil
dence which came before the grand
jury. Mr. Day Is farmer and lives
near Roswell, while Mr.. Vassar
lives near Caldwell. He is also farm

Orlando Hudson by name, who in
timated that If he would divulge
certain information as to the evil
dence presented to the jury that he
could get at least $4,000. 1t is
also charged that Vassar was APP

recent calculations. AS the fire
gained Roadway, many buildings

the earthquake were consumed by
the fire, and in some of these there
were people who could not be res

the catastrophe, 1t is thought that

steps of buildings were crowded with
exhausted people, but few ventured
to enter the buildings. The widest

frenzied people, and added to the
horror of the occasion.
1t seemed that no relief could
come from any source, and that the
end would soon come for the beaut-
iful city of the Golden Gate. 1t was
nearly noon on Friday before Mr..
Gipson could get transportation

went to Los Angeles, and thence
came by rail to Salt Lake. The ex-

Story of Earthquake.

]. H. GIBSON, business manager of
the Gem State Rural Udaho) arrived
in Salt Lake over the San Pedro to-
day. The gentlemen was in San
Francisco when the terrible earth
quake shock and the consequent
fires destroyed the larger portion of
the city. Mr.. Gipson was rooming
at 1854 Webster street, near Eddy.
AS he tumbled from his bed, the
first sight that met his gaze was the
two upper stories of a building on
the other side of the street sliding
into the thoroughfare. The building
in which he stood, trying to get his
clothes on, shook and ratified like a
toy paper house at the mercy of the
wind.
Reaching the open, he started to-
ward Market street, but ere he
reached that point he counted no less
than II large buildings ablaze. In
one street eight horses lay dead, the
wagons to which they had been at
tached were smashed, and seven
drivers had just been hauled to the
morgue. Mr.. Gipson estimated that
at least every tenth house in this
neighborheod had been toppled over
into the street. Even though 1t was
early in the morning, he thinks there
must have been many people astir
when the shock came. and he es-

our country is passing through a
critical period. Influences abound
that, unless checked and removed,
will work destruction Evils and
abuses, that began in secrecy, are
bursting forth into boastful prom
inence, and behold, they are rulers.
Private sins and public debauchery
and crime are preying on the moral
vitals of our civilization. Our dew

issues have arisen claiming the at

The Portent of Pretense.
Study the labor question of the
day and know what a huddle of
uncertainty there Is. Both capital
and labor are disguised and are af-
raid of being detected even by them
selves. Pretense is stamped upon
both. Deception is universal. 1t
permeates the whole structure of our
society and renders brotherhood
doubtful. False brotherhoods have
arisen under the guise of secrecy,
which in itself is, in sense, antag-
onistic to liberty. Blinded by these,
men are rushing on. calling for
justice, thinking that justice must
come. because, forsooth, they have
organized into a secret brotherhood.
But justice does not come. Their
opponents have organized. Arbitra-
ton cannot arbitrate the difficulty
because the actorscannot meet on
the plane of universal brotherhood.

lance, dare not assert herself Just
Ice bound by ritualism Is impotent.

growing more portentous. At times,

and as much of their testimony as
possible.
Day Approached.
The story Is that a week ago Sun
day, Hudson visited Days ranch at
Roswell. After sitting around the
house for long time without stating
the object of his visit, Day, who had
some chores to do, started for the
barn, Hudson following. When they
got out of the house, Hudson asked:
Day. how is your conscience?
Have you any scruples against maxi
ing piece of money!"
mot at ALL" replied Day, II am
after the money"
Then Hudson told Day about the
chance he had to make $4,000. Day
did not want to make money that
way, and after Hudson's departure
came to Caldwell and informed the
authorities.

Vassar was approached inexactly

Justice and Liberty.
Fellow citizens, we are living in
portentious times, and there is no
more important lesson to impress
upon our minds than the value of
justice and liberty. Their establish
ment means political life and hap
piness, their abolition political
death and deepest gloom. They
stand hand in hand, twin sisters be-
gotten by Love and Truth, and that
which is offensive to one is equally
so to the other. United they stand,
divided they fall. They are the
chief support to the Declaration of
Independence and the federal con-
stitution. Do them violence, and
you endanger those great charters. In
theory these principles are co-exten-
sive with our government. and that
which violates them here, violates
them everywhere. They measure
the same rights here that they do
in the nations capital A tendency
to disregard these principles is man
ifest in many quarters. and a spec
ial call to duty Is made. Good cit
liens must arouse to action. He
who questions the value of justice
profaneth 1t, and he who questions
the cost of liberty renounces 1t. A
negative citizenship is dangerous.
Affirmative and positive support of
justice and liberty Is not a disider-
alum only, it is positive necessity,
If these great blessings are to con-
tinue.

Hon. James A. McGee of Nampa
and Weiser was in Caldwell this
week, seeing the ceremonies at the
court house and attending to priv
ate business. With the assistance of
Col. Allen Miller, State immigration
Commissioner, he is preparing an
elaborate pamphlet on the resources,
development and prospects of South
ern Idaho. The country embraced
in the pamphlet includes everything
from Pocatello to Huntington along
the Oregon Short Line; the towns
and country tributary to the Pacific
and Idaho Northern are also includ-
ed. The development of southern
Idaho since the advent of the rail-
roads has been great, while the de-
velopment during the next twenty
years will be marvellous. The great
private and government reclamation
projects underway, and prepared
will reclaim an empire. The P. &
l. N. road, with it's proposed extens-
ions is opening up a wonderful limb
err and mineral country. Mr.. McGee
is meeting with loyal support and
great encouragement on every hand
Actual work of preparing the PAM
phlet will be commenced as soon as
Col. Miller gathers and arranges the
data. A more complete article on
Mr.. McGee's plans appears else
