AT Boise he was taken straight to

told Adams that he had made a con-
fession duplicating the officers of the
Western Federation and Adams; that
he (Orchardl was to get off without
prosecution and that he was to get a
piece of money and he intended to
put pond between himself and men,

Orchard wanted Adams to do the best
thing he could to help convict the
officers of the Western Federation of
Miners and coroborrate Orchards's
confession. He told Adams to save
himself and think of his family and
if Adams failed to do this he would
be taken back to Colorado and be
either mobbed or hanged.

her the second day after her arrival
in Boise and reiteraed Thiele's state

Mr.. Anderson had many pleasant
things to say Of the treatment received
and Of the City Of La Grande. Among
the things he noticed was the character
Of the buildings. La Grande has fire
limit and within this limit no wooden
buildings are permitted to be erected,
consequently the city has many line
brick and stone buildings.
Also that La Grande was becoming the
center Of a great Mormon colony who
are buying up available land and are
developing the beet sugar industry

tries.
