HAVOC RAISED By
THE BOIL WEEYIL
E D. SMITH REPORTS UPON
CONDITIONS IN WEST.
Advises Farmers to Hold-Says Is
Cents is Least Farmers in South
west Will Consider.
To the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
On August 10Th I left South Car
olina for a tour Of the western cotton
states. There has been and is con-
siderable speculation as to the proba-
BILE yield Of this crop.
Ny opportunity for observation
and information as to Mississippi
was limited. I will visit that state
during the early part of September.
The Louisiana crop is certainly e1-
tremely short. From Vicksburg nm
medately on the Mississippi river for
several miles in the interior the crop
is practically complete failure. From
the Ouehiata river to the Red Ever
the crop will average 50 per cent. OF
a normal yield. From Shreveport to
Alexandria the boil weevil has des-
troyed the crop up and down the Red
River valiey-the most fertile region
in Louisiana. There are tens Of thou
sands of acres that are abandoned ;
not a seed planted, and other thous-
ands planted and abandoned and the
balance making very little. | wish
those who are disposed to think the
weevil does little harm could see the
work of destruction he has caused in
Louisiana.
In Texas the weevil and drought
have put beyond possibility anything
like an average yield.
The people Of Louisiana and Texas
won't talk Of anything less than Is
cents per pound forsthis crop: 5udee:
ing by the. size Of the audiences and
the character and occupations Of the
men composing them, I think it safe
to predict that there will be terrific
fight for Is cents if the buyers seem
disposed seriously to oppose it.
The conditions here are very much
like those that obtained in the states
east of the Mississippi last year. Last
year we had poor crops and these
Western States good ones. The pri-
ees were good-fne indeed for these
states that made the larger yields and
the result Of their fine crops and
big prices was an almost unlimited
extension of credit. Now the terrible
crop failure puts bankers and mer-
.hants who extended credit to the
planter in the same boat with the
planter. For if there is not a big
price obtained they stand to lose
their advances; 50 there is very un-
animous sentiment among planters
and business men for Is cents cot
ton. Of course it all depends ON the
wisdom Of the owners and their abil-
ity to exercise their wisdom as to
whether the crop will bring this price
or not.
One of the worst features Of the
crop outlook is the poor corn crop.
I've been speaking to the farmers
here of the Williamson plan. I be-
Ie7e it would succeed here better
than in the Eastern States.
T leave today for Oklahoma, where
: I vii make a three days can, ass and
on the 2Sth leave for Columbia so as
to be at the county presidents meet
ing on the 30th.
[ have had strenuous campaign,
speaking three times a day and trav-
cling lay and night. There is graf
flying growth in sentiment as to our
work and practical demonstration OF
appreeiating it,

LAST FALL

we had an election and if you re- member we said we wouldn't take any stock in any promises made by politicians, and we never shall. And why? Because when they get into 'Ofice they'll do just as they scott please. If you doubt us, see how they are trying to put water meters Into every home. What does It all mean? It means a fat job for about five dozen ward heelers to go around reading the meters, and another far job for about half dozen or more plumbers to keep the meters in re- pair, and eventually it means the peo- pie who pay rent will get a raise not in wages but in their rent, because the landlord must pay the high water bill, and he in turn will see that the tenant settles the bill. Why has rents gone up the last two years! Because the taxes have gone up; put the politicians told us the taxes would be lower-but are they?

MURDERED MAN
TRACY'S UNCLE
Relative Of the Famous
Outlaw Slain at His
Ranch

HELENA. Mont, Sept 18.-James
Kinney, formerly of California, and a
cousin or uncle of Harry Tracy the
Oregon Washington outlaw, has been
murdered by unknown persons near
Toston, 90 miles east of Helena, while
in the employ of the Riverside Land
and Livestock company of this city.
There is no clue to the identity of the
murderer or rnurderers. The affair is
stepped in mystery. The coroners
jury returned verdict that death was
due to blows received with a blunt in
strument.
The scene of the crime indicates that
the murder had been planned sdelib-
erately and was most effectively car
ried out. Kinney had charge of band
of sheep belonging to the Riverside
company, and was camped in a little
grassy park, miles from the railroad
Kinney was unquestionably killed
while lying asleep beside his flock. His
skull was crushed from behind, and
only pile of ashes and few shreds
We're left of his tent and belongings.
The gold watch he carried was miss
ing, and there was no money about
although he was known to carry con-
siderable sums.
Kinney had two splendid dogs with
him. and it is not believed they would
let any one enter the tent AS they
are missing, the supposftion is that
they were killed also.
Different motives are advanced as to
the cause of the murder-robbery. the
ranchmen's war and the satisfaction
of an old grudge Each has it's expo
nents but the latter is given the pref
erence by the officials. Kinney's sim
gular character, his bearing and gem
erai demeanor indicate this.
Kinney was nearly so years old, with
the demeanor of gentleman, and
would never be mistaken for a sheer
herder. He was educated and refined
minded his own business strictly, did
his work well and asked only to be lei
| alone. He never drank nor caroused
He was but little known. Last
winter he appeared at the ranch and
applied for work He remained two
months and'then left suddenly for Cal
ifornia, his former home. he said
Nothing more was heard from him un
til August when he again applied fol
and was given work. He took his
band of sheep to the hills and there
met his death. 1t is said he has sis
ter in California, and his most init
mate friend at the ranch says he was a
cousin or uncle of Harry Tracy. the
outlaw.

WATER BONDS
FIND FAVOR
Business Men Say Action
Must Be Taken at An
Early Date

IF we want to progress here in
Lewiston we have got to make public
| improvements and keep up to the
times, and in order to secure the best
results we must begin at the bottom"
said M. d. Mills this afternoon relative
to the proposed bonding Of the city for
the improvement of the city water
system.
"One thing is certain. the city must
have better fire prote ction, If we are
to continue to live here. In order to
have this we must make certain inn
provements, paving being one of the
most important.
"And right there is where this bond
comes in. There is no use in putting
down paving, and then tearing 1t up
to renew the pipe lines or enlarge
them. Begin at the bottom. Fix the
water system, then pave the streets,
and later we can go ahead and improve
our 1re-fighting service
Il am heartily in favor of the bond
4 issue, though I believe it should be
for term Of say. 25 years. AS for
the paving, there is no one who really
believes we do not need it. am in
favor of paving the main Streets paw
ing even the driveways in the resi-
Dental sections-in fact paving wher-
] ever it will improve the looks of the
city and be of use.
j THE heavy taxpayers will, of course
pay the burden of the paving and wa
ter taxes, but in return their property
4 will be increased two fold in value
To begin with, if there was any fire
| protection at all, the property owners
/ would not have such excessive insur-
ance rates to carry. Again, with an
improved department. or even with a
better pipe line system. their property
If It caught fire, might be saved from
total loss, which it is more than likelx
to be at present.
"of course, there is going to be OPP
! position by few to the bond issue
but / believe that if those who see
the necessity of some immediate ac-
ton will attend the mass meeting
Thursday night and stand up and tel
their position and their reasons for
taking it, there can be no doubt OF
the outcome. We have got to have
water, we have got to have paving
and have got to have a fire fighting
4 system. Let's begin at the bottom and
do it right"
