DEATH SAVED
STEUNENBERG
SENATOR BoRAH's PROSECUTOR
SAYS GOVERNOR WAS IN
Hp'sMo se.aotN DOE.
CONSPIRACY IS THE CHARGE
Member of the Upper House Of Con-
gress Is Accused Of Land Frauds
with Prominent Citizens
of Idaho. qu

lIoise, ldaho-In beginning the work
here of i%mpaneling a jury TO try Unit
. ed States Senator William E. Durah,
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the government of valuabla timber,
District Attorney Norman NJ. l,uick
announced that former Governor
Frank Steunenberg was one of the
men indicted with Senator Borah for
alleged conspiracy. SteuneTberg is
represented in the Indictment as John
Doe.
The case was called before Judge
Edward Whitso On in the United States
district court. The prominence of
senator Borah in the politics of the
state, his personal popularity in this,
his home town, the leading part he
took in the prosecution of William d.
Haywood, acquitted of the murder of
Governor ~Steunenberg, and the fact
that more than 100 %well.known resi-
dents of South Idaho are alleged to be
involved with him in the so-called con-
spiracy, combined to attract an inter
est in the proceedings nearly equal to
that which marked the first of the
Western Federation of Miners trial
here.
Courtroom Is Packed.
The circuit court was crowded to
overlooking when Judge Whitson tool
the bench. The array of counsel on
either side was imposing. The gov
eminent, whose representatives here
freely predict a hearing of sensational
interest, has practically taken the case
out of the hands of District Attorney
Ruick, against whom charges of i'm
proper conduct before the grand jury
have been filed, and assigned the mat
ter to special attorneys trained in tim
Der land law and fresh from sue
cessful prosecutions in other western
states.
These are N. G. Burch of Detroit
and s. R. Rush of Omaha, both spe-
cial assistants to the attorney general
of the United States. There also was
present Timothy F. Burke, United
States district attorney at Cheyenne,
who was sent to Boise to assist the
special grand jury now in session in
its investigation of the charges
against District Attorney Ruick.
Senator Borah's attorneys include
James II. Hawley, senior counsel for
the state in the Haywood case; Alfred
A. Frazer, S. L. Upton and Charles
Paine.
Twelve Others Indicted.
Included are Ed and Carl Paine, all
local attorneys, and c. F. Bundy of Eau
Claire, Wis. The latter also repre-
sents the interests of the Barber Lum-
Der Co., the corporation that is said
to have profted by the alleged frauds
and some of whose officers have been
indicted.
The indictment against Senate.
Borah alleges that he, with ~ others
named as co-defendants, conspired to
defraud the government of many
thousands of acres of timber land in
Boise county.
AS a result of this alleged conspira-
cy, it is charged that 108 residents of
Boise took out timber claims and
swore in doing SO that they were act
ing solely in their own interests,
whereas these statements are alleged
to have been false.

The depreciation in the price of
Standard Oil stock within the past ten

Good Drainage for Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is adapted to a wide
range of soil provided the subsoil is
open and porous and well supplied
with lime. The most favorable
soil, however, is deep loan,
preferably sandy in nature, over
lying a not too compact subsoil.
Good drainage is highly essential,
and on soils everything heavy clay
or hardpan subsoiis great care must
be taken to provide free escape for
surface water. The alfalfa plant
wi soon die where water stands
for few days. --Ccorge A. Bill

Sheep Easy TO Keen.

A few sheep could be kept on
most of our farms, and we would
not miss their feed in winter, and
they would destroy great many
briers and weeds in summer.
Where the stomach worm, scab and
dogs can be controlled there is no
live stock that will pay near the
profit OF sheep. One man in Illinois
reports profit of $505 from seven
acres of corn with rape sown at
last cultivation fed to sheep. Snow
me seven acres of cotton that will
net that much and leave 90 per
cent of the fertilizing value of the
crop on the land with no harvest
ing.

Goats and Sheep Compared.

Goats usually sell within cent
of sheep on the market. The
packers buy hundreds of them, but
never sell any goat meat. OF course
they know good piece of meat and
eat them all.
Cattle, sheep aud goats are es-
pecially suited TO the south as a
surplus of money stock because they
can consume cottonseed meal and
silage to larger extent than any
other animal. Let us rid our fields
of fever ticks and worthless dogs. -

Clover q Valuable Crop.

Clover is good for feeding to live
stock and also splendid for renovat-
ing or feeding the soil. There is
no farm that is not capable of being
helped by the growing and feeding
in mind and put in practice.
Clover roots deeply and so gets a
large part of its support from the
subsoil, and if the ground is well
filled with clover roots when the
clover dies the enriching of the
soil by those roots must be inn
mense. The roots produce a nitro
genous enriching with the hay
added.

Sheep Notes.

Do no let anything annoy the
ewes. Avoid feeding a ration that
is constipating
Oats and bran make an excellent
ration for ewes with lamb.
If the sire be so strongly bred as
to impart his characteristics to all
his produce, the flock will soon be-
come uniform la appearance.
While sheep may pay better
than any other stock on poor,
rough lands, if well managed they
will also pay on smooth, rich
land.

How a Healthy Sheep Looks.

A healthy sheep will have a
bright, clear, pink skin, differing
in shades according to the color of
the face. A large open nostril
shows a good breathing capacity.
Breeders like 70 have the sheep

part of the body A thick dock and
thick, strong neck are also neces-
sary, by which can be judged the

One hundred pounds of gain we're
made by a wether lamb on 364
pounds of corn, 200 pounds Of
corn fodder and p pounds of po-
tatoes. To produce 100 pounds Of

The Strawberry.

A New Jersey grower who finds
1t profitable to pot his straw berry
plants explains in Rural New
Yorker the method used as follows ::
| have found that about the only
objection to using potted plants is
the price they will cost to buy or
the expense of potting them our
selves. Here is an obstacle easily
remedied. To begin with, every
market gardner or, in fact, any
one who is thinking of engaging
in the growing of strawberries
should have at least 5000 two
inch pots. These can be had at
trifling cost and will last for
years. When the knack of potting
the plants is once acquired it will
be readily understood that the only
difference in the expense of the
potted system and the usual way of
setting them is the difference in
time it will take in digging and
trimming the plants as compared to
potting them. When lot of plants
are wanted for the new bed, all
that it is necessary to do is to
fill these small pots with soil the
same as where the plants are grow
ing. Plunge or plant them just to
the surface level, place rooted run
ners in the pots as other plants are
potted, leaving the runner attached
to the old plant, and the unrooted
runner may be placed on the soil in
the little pot, laying small stone
or clod on it to keep it in place.
The young runners so treated will
make nice plants in two or three
weeks. When the little pots are
well filled with roots, they are TAX
en- up and placed close together in a
frame, where they can be watered
freely. After remaining in the
frame for few days they are in
good condition to be painted where
they are to fruit. 1t should be. re-
nembered, however, that if the
plants ate. left jim the pots too long
they will become pot. bound. :. They
are then not so good as if set ABOUT
the time the pot is well filled with
the young roots. This condition of
the plants will not affect them in
the frame as QUICKLY as if left at
tached to the old plant in the bed.
When the plants are in the proper
condition for planting, the ground
should be narrowed several times
and mad perfectly level by using a
leveling board, for no soil is ever
too firm for the roots of the straw
berry to penetrate if moist and cool
below the surface. The plants may
be set either by line or the rows
can be marked out the desired
width. After the plants have been
thoroughly watered they are knocked
out of the pots, carried to the field
and placed on the row about the
distance they are to be planted. A
skillful workman can set the plants
as fast they can le brought to him
and with little or no risk The
plants will scarcely cease growing.

Pouliry Notes.

In sending diessed fowls to mar
ket IL is very important to see that
the animal heat is thoroughly
cooled out before packing.
II the fowls get too fat, give
them some grain not rich in carbo-
hydrates. Oats as a single food
will tend to lessen the fat.
Many fail with poultry because
of trying to winter too many hens
in small quarters. Hens that are
crowded will not lay we'll.
