WILL SUPPLY FUEL
TO ALL CONSUMERS
ATTORNEY SOL SHWAYDEIt
FINAL ARRANGEMENTS.

Attorney Sol Shwayder will leave
for Salt Lake this morning, to meet
attorney Sam Belford of Ely for the
purpose of concluding the arrange
ments begun by them some months
ago, looking toward securing an ad-
equate supply of coal for use here
for all purposes this winter.
Traffic arrangements which will in
sure prompt and regular delivery of
coal to this market will be completed
by Messrs. Belford and Shwayder. 1t
is their purpose to place the coal in
this market at such wholesale price
that it can be delivered to the retail
consumer at $3.50 per ton. Ship
ments will begin to move toward Ely
within the next ten days or two
weeks, and within three weeks at the
latest, the first trainload will arrive.
There are now two or three local
persons and concerns figuring with
Belford e Shwayder for the retail
end of the business, and no definite
arrangement has been made as to
who shall have charge of the retail
trade.

DAMAGES ARE ASKED
ON LEASE AGREEMENT

Suit was instituted in the district
court yesterday by Attorney Anthony
Jurich against John A. Magnuson to
recover damages in the sum of $2,40O
for an alleged violation of lease and
election from a building. William
Hollemburg, according to the COM
plant, was given a lease to a lot on
Main street, Lane City, for term
of years at a fixed rental, with the
option of buying the property at any
time within the lease period for 81
500. 1t is alleged that while this
lease was still operative, Hollemburg
rendered the price said to have been
agreed on, but that Magnuson re-
fused it, and last July took forcible
possession of the property. The al
legged lease and option has been as
signed to Zurich.

SENATOR BORAH
Idaho Man Found Not Guilty Of
Completely in Wholesale
Land Frauds.

DEFENDS HONOR OF.THE DEAD

BOISE, Ida, Oct. 3.-United State!
Senator William E. Borah last nigh
was acquitted of the charge of con
spiring to defraud the government
out of valuable Idaho timber lands
The case was submitted without ar
gument on the part of the defense
and the jury was out just lone
enough to take one ballot. The YER
dict was greeted by cheers and ap
plause which the court officers made
no effort to restrain. This demon
stration in the cour. room served
only as a beginning. AS soon as the
news reached the outside, bells were
rung and the city fire department
made a spontaneous run through the
principal streets, stopping eventually
at the Indanha hotel, where Senator
Borah, surrounded by several hun.
dred of his fellow citizens, was es.
corted.
A brass band appeared as If by
magic, and as the senator reached the
hote. steps played Hail to the
Chief" The streets about the hote
were blocked by the cheering throng
whose shouts mingled with the
and clang of trolley car bells. Sen
ator Borah thanked his hearers fol
their demonstration and the conf
dence they had reposed in him
throughout the trial.
Senator Borah held an imprOmptr
reception in the court room, and an
other in the lobby of the hotel, where
he was called upon for speech
h mi, n @
was cheered and congratulated
the verdict apparently being a mos
popular one throughout the commun
ity.
The jury was out fourteen min
utes, during this time no one lef
the court room, a verdict of not guilty
having been freely predicted and ex
pected after very brief deliberation
AS soon as the words mot guilty
fell from the lips of the clerk the
cheering broke forth. At it's conclu
sion the judge lightly reprimandet
the auditors for improper conduct,
but said he would not attempt te
punish any one for contempt.
At the Indanha hotel demonstration
Senator Borah was introduced b!
James H. Hawley, his leading coun
sci. Mr.. Hawley declared the indict
ment and trial of Senator Borah OF
the flimsy evidence" brought before
the jury was the most damnablt
outrage and iniquity ever perpetratet
in the guise of Justice He wal
loudly cheered.
Senator Borah said it was not ;
proper time for HIM to express hi
opinion of the events of the las
three months.
I have felt the humiliation deep
ly," he continued, especially becaus'
of the manner in which the name o
my dead friend, Frank Steunenberg
has been brought into the case. l an
glad to say l was his friend-th
friend of a man who gave up his lif
for his state and his country.
Political capital has been made
or tried to be made, out of my in
dictment, but I am glad to say som
of my stanchest friends during thi
trial have come from the other side
The only reason I was indicted ap
pears to have been that l was tn
friend of Frank Steunenberg. Agai
| say to you am proud of the homo
of that friendship. But there are al
ways some hyenas about who fin
their only delight in the defamation
of the dead"

AUTOMOBILE CURE FOR
BAD CASES OF NERVES
Nevada Men Show CalifOrnianS Some
New Wrinkles i'm Methods of
Spending Money.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3.-"Judge"
Volney Il. Hoggatt of Rhyolite, and
his friend, w. l.. Wilson of Goldfield
have cut the widest swath of any two
mining men from Nevada who ever
came to Los Angeles to rid them
selves of the plethoric store of wealth
the new gold country has poured into
their hands.
During the past twenty days they
have managed to spend 800 Just
to see Los Angeles" in what they
term "quiet way" and in that time
they have set a new record in the
matter of hiring automobiles. Down
to date they have enriched the chauf-
feurs to the extent of 1900, or 500
per day for the privilege of being
hauled about the streets of the city,
to the beaches and to the nearby
mountain resorts.
The Los Angeles celebration began
nearly three weeks ago when Judge
Hoggatt came to Los Angeles and be-
gan to dazzle everyone around the
Alexandria hotel with his display of
wealth. Soon the news was flashed
to Mr.. Wilson in Goldfield that his
lifelong friend, Judge Hoggatt
was suffering from case of nerves
| in Los Angeles. Mr.. WILSON came
to this city Immediately and inaugu-
rated an automobile cure" for his
| friend. This cure was designed to re-
duce all nervous strain, by frequent
rides in automobiles to the beaches
and nearby resorts. 1t was an en-
tirely new method, but it's application
proved effective, even though the bills
did amount to 800 per day.
Then the automobile cure began tC
impress itself upon Mr.. Wilson also
who discovered that his nerves were
effected by the low altitude, and the
rides were continued each day unit
both now declare that they have beer
immeasurably benefited by their ex
perience.

God Takes Care of His Own,

That God takes care of His
own is fittingly e%Xemplifed by
the manner in which we grow to
mans estate. We have had our
experiences as boys. Every man
can recall how with studded toe,
cut, torn, scratched and lacera-
ted hands, fingers, etc., he has
passed through the days of inno-
cent childhood, oblivious to the
dangers of accident or broken
limb, and recall how in men what
seemed to be.a trivial pin-prick
or a scratch will develop a case
of blood poison. Boys of ten and
fifteen years can, and do jump
from a height of fifteen or TWEEN
ty feet without mishap and they
do it every day. A man will fall
from a chair and break his neck,
arm or leg.
This a subject that could be
treated with more effect by the
minister of the gospel. 1t is il
Illustrative of a lesson in life that
no man can question; that none
will deny. 1t proves to each man
by his own experience that
There's a Divinity that shapes
our ends, rough-hew them how
we will" In early life the, sim
pie scratch gives pain for a mo
ment, but it heals and heals
quickly In manhood, the SIM
pie scratch may lead to blood
poison. What does this mean if
it does not signify that God takes
care Of the children, all of whom
are His own until they grow up,
become worldly and then take
care of themselves. The Week

The Weather and Crops.

The weather the past week has
been more favorable for crops of
all kinds. In this section of the
country the rainfall has been a
little too liberal for the crops in
the lowlands, but the tempera-
ture has been high-just the sort
to stimulate the cotton to active
growth. Splendid progress has
been made in cleaning out the
grass and cultivating the crops.
While owing to the scant labor
supply the fields in some districts
have not been entirely cleared Of
grass, the progress made every
where is most encouraging.
There can be no denying that
the cotton crop has greatly i'm
proved under the influence of the
more favorable weather for the
past three weeks and is now
growing vigorously and holding
out a better promise in the way
of yield than at one time looked
possible. At the same time the
progress being made is not such
as to hold out the hope that all
the i'll effects of the early draw
backs can be overcome. Even
in its present state the crop
shows that it is very late.
While the question of acreage
is still undetermined. notwith-
standing the usual official and
semi-official estimates, the gen.
eral belief is that the actual area
in cultivation is much less than
last year. Some of the area in
tended for cotton has either not
been planted in that crop or has
been abandoned on account of
being so badly in the grass. The
cleaning up Of the fields has
made it plain that even where
the crop is now growing vigor-
ously, the stand is far from being
what it should be, showing the
effects of the bad weather du-
ring the spring and the poor
seed used on second and third
paintings, where the original
seed failed to come up or the
plants died after termination.

The Lanlana Case.

The stealing of the Lamana boy,
a child of tender age, was a crime
that has for days filled with hor-
ror the hearts Of parents in New
Orleans, but when it was reveal
ed by the finding of his mutilated
and decomposed remains that the
helpless little innocent had been
cruelty and foully murdered by
his abductors, the act reaches a
degree of atrocity and fiendish-
ness that strikes terror into the
bosom of even the strongest men
when they realize to what fright
full perils their own children may
at any moment be exposed. But
there is some consolation in the
fact that some Of the participants
and instruments in this ferocious
crime have been arrested and are
now in the hands of the officers
of the law and there is a posi-
bility that others may soon be
taken.
The criminal records of this
country show other cases besides
that of the Lamana boy, and it
should be stopped at any cost.
The penalty should be so severe
that even a fiend will fear to
commit the ofIcnse.

The Two Cent Rate.

1t will seem a good thing to
the average citizen that the rail-
roads throughout the country
have about decided to accede to
the popular demand for a fair
trial of the 2-cent passenger rate.
This is the only way they can
get proof that the rate is unjust.
If, after a fair trial, they fail to
get the proof it will be all the
better for the roads and for. the
people. 1t is not very likely that
the experiment will prove a
failure.
The agreement arrived at by
the railroad presidents in Chi
cago makes possible an. expert
ment which, in all probability,
some of them have desired to try
in the past but were prevented
by fear of the rate war which a
cut by one road without agree
ment with rival lines always in
vites.
There being a general agree
ment now, it will be advantage
Gus to the railroad business of
the country to ascertain what eff
feet the reduced rate will have
upon the travel habit Of those
Americans who ride the short
distances for which 3 cents a
mile has heretofore been the
price.
In almost any other business a
cut of one-third in the price
would bring on such an increase
of business as to make the change
most profitable, provided the
cost of the commodity or service
were perceptibly below the re-
duced price. In the case Of the
railroads the weight of the pas
senger car is so much greater
than the weight of the passen-
gers it carries that there would
be very much more profit in haul
ing it full at 2 cents a mile than
in hauling it half full at 3 cents
a mile.

Negroes in Northern Colleges

Says the New Orleans State:
We do not think that anywhere
in the South will any sympathy
be expressed for those Southern
boys who, entering themselves
as students in the summer school
of the University of Chicago,
have raised a row because they
happen to find themselves thrown
in contact with negro students
who are admitted and treated as
the equals of the whites, socially
and otherwise. Southern boys
who, with their eyes open to the
conditions, go to Northern Uni
versities, where social equality
of the races is accepted and
practiced, have. no reason to
whine and stir up a commotion
if they are required to mess with
negroes and have them as class
mates when they get there.

The man who pIucks a few

find if he ever achieves glory
that the roses thrown are usually

BIG CARNATIONS.
