"WE'RE READY, "sAYATTORHEYS.
NO MORE DELAY LOOKED FOR IN
FAMOUS CASE.
Every Available Room in Boise, Idaho,
Reserved for Lawyers, Witnesses,
Newspaper Men, Etc.

Boise. Idaho, May 6.-Practically
every available room in Boise has
been reserved for lawyers, witnesses or
newspaper men in attendance on the
court which will try William B. Hay
wood on the charge of murder of for
mer Gov. Steunenberg.
That there might be some delay has
been intimated from time to time, but
the fear of this has now been dissi'
pated by statements from both sides.
Clarence Darrow, of Chicago, and E.
F. Richardson, of Denver, jointly lead
ing counsel for the defense of Hay.
wood, have both stated that they are
ready for trial
Counsel for the prosecution, James
H. Hawley and Senator w. E. Borah,
who have been engaged especially, are
of the opinion that there will be no
further delay.
An application for bill of particu-
lars, filed by the defense, will be
argued before Judge Wood, who will
try the Haywood case but as his deci,
sion is not appealable, it is not thought
that this will cause postponement.
The history of the case of the men
charged with the murder of Steunen'
berg shows much delay, all Of which
has been necessarily expensive to the
state of Idaho and the defense.
The state has already paid bills tt
the amount of $4,000, and at the lasI
session of the legislature of Idaho an
appropriation of $4,000 additional
was unanimously passed, all parties
concuring.
When Gov. Steunenberg was assas'
sinated, the Mineowners' association
offered a reward of $4,000 for the ar
rest of the murderer. Later this
amount was returned to the min.
ers by Gov. Gooding, with the state
ment that the state Of Idaho would
defray the cost of the prosecution Of
the murderer or murderers whoever
they might be.
The defense fund raised by union
labor throughout the country and an
emergency fund by the Miners Fedora.
tion is reported to be very large and
the total cost of carrying on this case
from first to last will be enormous.

SEEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Prospects for a Large Acreage to
Be soWn In Wheat.

st. Paul, April "a, 1sO7.-word has
been received at the ONCE OF the
Canadian Government in st. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, saskatch"
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding opera
tions. The fine weather Of the past
few days has taken much of the ffost
out of the ground and during next
week there will scarcely be a district
in which the seeder is not being oper-
ated The most optimistic conditions
exist and in all districts the farmers
are busy getting things in shape.
There will be very large acreage
sown in spring wheat, oats and barley.
At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy I'M
loading their stock and effects, work
ing night and day in order to get on
their farms and become active agen-
cies in the effort to make the year
1907 the banner year in grain produc-
ing in Western Canada. AS compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this, it will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
tions for the present year. 1t is safe
to say that farmers who get in their
crop before the goth or oath of May,
will receive magnificent returns. A
number of those coming in this spring,
who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
in a crop of oats and barley and prob
ably some fax. This, together with
the vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter. These early seeding-oper-
ations are not confined to one district,
but are spread over country 900
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are being
made available for settlers. Low rail
way rates, information and literature
are given on application to the agent,
whose name appears in advertisement
elsewhere in this paper.

"surprise Tests" on Railroads.

1t is but a few years since Ameri-
can railroads began Systematically
the use of surprise tests" These
more or less directly grew out of an

impossible, however and the once

destination by a commonplace tug.
