but the partisans of that party
seemed to fail to appreciate his
efforts and his paper went over
to another concern and down
and out. But our friend George
M. Payne, old as he had become,
could not well exist without u
newspaper, and few years ago,
started the South Idaho Herald.
But a newer and younger element
has arrived in Mountain Home,
and is doing things in that now
progressive town, and an old
fashioned democratic paper was
not swift enough for them and
their methods of doing business.
They imported a bran new news
paper man, and with a flourish
started the Maverick. The new
editor, after making things hum
for a few months, caught the
Nevada craze and pulled out for
that land of golden promise, but
the paper still survives him, and
its hackers, last week, took over
our old friends last effort in the
field of newspaperdom. Grown
Eoldin his struggle in behalf of a
decrepit old partisan cause, he
has sold out and retired. May
his remaining years be marked
with peace and comfort, is the
wish of one who has long been
travelling the same road-barring
that he has never put any faith
in the principles of the democratic
party and never will.

FRIDAY, MAY 8. 1907.

The injury done to the peach.
plum and cherry fruit crops by the
recent frosts in our valleys is re-
ported to be quite serious. but it is
thought that apples, pears and
other classes of fruits which were
not so far advanced have not suf-
fered serious damage. A twenty
per cent thinning out by the frost
will only tend to make the remain
ing crop all the better.

formed further down the river, on
the south side of the Twin Falls
tract, during the past two years.
The writer, who has been several
trips through this latter section,
had an opportunity to view it more
in detail on this occasion, and can
only say that he cannot find Ian
guage to express his establishment
at the change that is going on in
that erstwhile land of sagebrush and
jack rabbits. The lands have been
nearly all cleared and fenced; orch
ards and shade trees planted;
houses and barns built, and stubble
fields, volunteer wheat fields, straw
and hay stacks, tell of the cultiva-
ton of crops last year; and every
where burning piles of sagebrush,
cultivators, plows and grain drills
tell of what the busy people are
now doing. The stations along the
new railroad are rapidly becoming
quite thriving business towns, in
each prominent feature being

A Pioneer Editor Retired.

About the time the Oregon
Short Line reached Mountain
Home, little more than twenty
years ago, there arrived at the
place with a wife and young
daughter, a sturdy printer, even
then considerably past middle
age, who founded a paper which
he named the Range and Valley.
Through many vicissitudes, he
struggled on until the mines at
Rocky Bar began turning out a
wealth of bullion, when he sold
out his paper and removed to
that camp and started the Ell
more Bulletin. But Rocky Bar,
after a short time, failed to keep
up its lick, and he brought his
paper to Mountain Home. I'm

Prosperous Idaho.

The writer who was away from
home all last week, had an OPP
portunity to observe some Of the
boom now going on in Southern
Idaho. He attended the land
sale at Miner, on the 22nd ult.,
when the first installment of
lands on the north side of the
Twin Falls tract was opened for
location, and saw the eagerness
with which people from all parts
Of the country deposited checks
for the chance of drawing a num-
Der to make a selection. There
was enough money put up to
take nearly the entire 10000
acres offered, provided all could
be satisfied with a choice, and
much the greater number found
a place to invest, if not quite as
satisfactorily as they wished, still
desirable. The experiences OF
people who had made such phe-
nomenal success of locating on
the south side of the river and
the same tract gave an impetus
to the affair and made people
eager.
The sale of lots in the new town
of Miner was not quite so great
a success, although quite salts
factory to the company. Miner
by-the-dam is slightly location,
and bids fair to grow to a place
of as much Importance as any
town in that booming section,
having both the Twin Falls tract
and the great government re-
clamation enterprise just above
it on the river to draw trade
from. The Minidoka dam is now
completed and water turned into
the canals on the north side OF
the river, and many beautifully
located farms around Rupert and
Hepburn are now being cleared,
! fenced and seeded. The trans
formation now going on there
would look like magic if one had

cit is refreshing sometimes to note
how Mr.. Bryan regards himself as
guardian and executor of the affairs of
the democratic party. One who watches
will find the manners and ideas OF
boss crop out at the least opportunity.
He certainly believes in himself, and
his semi-divine right to rule the affairs
of his party. 1t is pleasant to note al
so that large majority of his party
shows cheerful disposition to receipt

1t is also refreshing all the time,
to note how Mr.. Roosevelt takes plank
after plank of Mr.. Bryan's platform
and chucks them down the throat OF
the leaders of the G. o. p., insisting
stoutly and strenuously that they must
be enacted into law. 1t is also more
than refreshing to see our mighty CHIEF

other departments, legislative and jul
dicary using public patronage to force
his measures through congress, roast
ing United States judges and condemn
ing labor leaders accused of crime while
their trials are pending, in spite of the

Hartman the Undesirable"

Is there politician in America, other
than President Roosevelt, who would
have the courage to link together the
names of Hartman, the rail road king,
and Meyer, Haywood and Debs, the
labor leaders, as types of undesirable
citizens? Mr.. Roosevelt has done just
that, but would Senator Foraker, Sem
ator Aldrich or Senator Spooner on the
one side, and Senator LaFollette, w. j.
Bryan or Mayor Tom johnson on the
other dare to make such comparison
and risk the consequences of offending
in one sentence the representative of
the most powerful aggregation of capt.
tai, and the representatives Of great
section of organized labor on the other?
Wall Street Journal.
Unquestionably Messrs. Foraker, AL
drich and Spooner would not intimate
that Hartman is an undesirable citi-
zen;" and evidently Mr.. Roosevelt
would would not have done it in 1904
when he was accepting Harraman's
money as contribution to the Roosevelt
campaign fund.
With all of their kindly feelings for
Mr.. Roosevelt, the American people
can not overlook the fact that he did
not call Hartman undesirable, until
after the Hartman letter was made
public.
1t doesn't require extraordinary cour.
age for powerful man to place branc
upon men who are behind the bars, al.
though many people have questioned
and many people will question, the pro-
priety, or the fairness, of an attack
made by the president of the United
States upon men who are about to un.
dergo trial for their lives. There is g
suspicion abroad that Mr.. Roosevelt
latest epistle on the Meyer Haywood
affair was a desperate effort to make
the best of the very bad situation il
which Mr.. Roosevelt plunged himself
when he dragged the names of the i'm
prisoned labor leaders into the Harri
man controversy
The less Mr.. Roosevelt's friends sa
about this sorry affair the better.
1t is probably true that neither Ser
ator LaFollette, Mayor johnson or MI
Bryan would have '1inked together tn
names of Hartman, the railroad king
and Meyer, Haywood and Debs, tn
labor leaders, as types of undesirabl
citizens"
1t is also probably true that neithe
LaFollette, johnson or Bryan woul
have been willing to be elected to a
office of trust in campaign finance
by the railroad king, who was I'm
Dear Mr.. Hartman" while he wa
raising funds for Mr.. Roosevelt's can
paign, only to become the ''undesirabl
citizen" after his letter, complaining
the ingratitude of princes, had becom

BOMB HURLED AT CABRERA
PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA HAS
NARROW ESCAPE.
One Report Says Chief Of Staff Is
Killed, While Another Says He ls
Only Wounded.

Guatemala City, Guatemala, May
Am attempt was made early Mon
day on the life of President Estrada
Cabrera. While out driving a dyna-
mite bomb was exploded near his car
rage, killing the horses and wounding
Gen. Orellana, the chief of staff. The
calmness of the president, who was
and the would-be assassins are con-
demned on all sides.
New York, May 1.-The Guatemalan
consul general at New York, DR.. Ben
goechea, received Tuesday the follow
ing official dispatch from Foreign Min
lister Barrios, informing him of the at
tempt on the life of President Cab
rera:
This morning at eight o'clock a. m.
and at the time that the president Of
the republic was passing, bomb was
exploded in one of the streets of the
capital. Fortunately that high func-
tionary was not hurt in this criminal
attempt. and orders have already been
given that the proper investigation OF
this crime be undertaken. The only
persons who were wounded were the
chief of the general staff of the presi-
dent, Gen. Jose Marie Orellana, and
the coachman. Public order is main
tanned unaltered.
"(Signed) BARRIOS."
Cabrera was elected president OF
Guatemala September 9, 1898, succeed
ing President Barrios, and in March
1905, he assumed the presidency for
a second term. He was said to be
very unpopular, was reported to have
been shot at and wounded in April
1906 and the following month it was
again rumored that an attempt had
been made to assassinate him. Later
it was stated that the president HAD
been accidentally shot in the leg. In
May, 1906, a revolution broke Out
against the administration of Presi
dent Cabrera and Guatemala was in
vaded by the revolutionists from foul
points. After series of encounter!
in which the regular troops of Saliva
dor took part and were joined later b.

COOLEST LAST DAY OF APRIL
Record for SO Years Broken at chica-
go-coId Weather Elsewhere.

Chicago, May Tuesday dawned
as the coolest last day of April Chi
cago has known in SO years. Thirty
three years ago, April 80, 1874, the
thermometer registered freezing, and
snow fell. Not since then has Chicago
been in the grip of such belated cold
snap as the one that struck it Mon
day.
Chicago was not alone with it's
weather" however. Throughout the
| northwest and in the Rocky mountain
| region the reign of Medicine Hat was
supreme, heavy snowfalls being re-
corded there and in the Dakotas. In
| Milwaukee five inches of snow fell
and traffic being at standstill Snow
fell all night in Racine, lying three
inches deep Tuesday.
Marshalltown, Ia, May Snow
Tuesday in the southern part of this
| county ranged from three to eight
inches. The snow is said to have
entirely ruined small early fruits.
| Des Moines, a. May Snow GOV.
ers the entire state of Iowa from a
depth of from three to eight inches
In Des Moines and central Iowa it is
eight inches, according to government
report. Interviews with leading horti
culturists indicate that all the small
fruit is irretrievably killed. The snow
will do much good to grain and pas
lures but the damage to fruits and
some of the truck gardening is ines
| timable.
Detroit, Mich, May IA severe
snowstorm prevailed Tuesday ovel
the upper part of the lower peninsula
OF Michigan with high cold winds. Il
is not believed that the snow and
cold will cause much damage to fruit
or vegetation as the weather has beer
so cold that everything is backward.

1t is reported that the smokers in

agency of Wadsworth Bros. Chicos, a
high grade Havana filled cigar that
sells for nickel.
P. A. Clemmer says they are perfect

alive '4thank you's" he has had from
lovers of good cigar to whom he had
recommended the Chico. 1t is one of
the best smokers in his show case, and
sells at price so low that any one car
afford to smoke it.
The price, however, is not the reason
why our leading lawyers, bankers, anc
business men call for the Chicos. They
buy it and smoke it because it is a gooc
cigar. Try one yourself and join the

Til Preside nt's Interference With
Justice.

President Roosevelt has made reply
to the critics of his statement chasing
Meyer, Debs and Haywood with Har-
rlman as undesirable citizens" reit-
Grating his declaration of their unde-
STABILITY and affirming
1T is as foolish to assert that this
was designed to influence the trial of
Meyer and Haywood, as to assert that it
vas designed to influence the suits that
nave been brought against Mr.. Harri-
man.
Grant that this was not the design,
chen let it be answered what is the eff
feet Of the criticism upon the minds of
men likely to be called for jury service,
ana upon the mind ofIthe federal judge,
owing appointment to the president
who will preside at the trial of these
men. Is it not altogether likely that
the presidents statement will prejudice
such jurors and such judge against the
defendants, since generally, whether
mistakenly or not the president is re-
garded as moral force? What is the
effect of such statement upon the
people who, having no knowledge of
the facts in the case, are prone to ac-
cept the presidents conclusion in a
matter of which they know nothing?
Mr. Justice Holmes in his decision in
the Patterson libel case said that
The propriety and necessity of pre-
ventlng interference with the courts of
justice by premature statement, argu-
ment or intimidation hardly can be de-
MED.
Does condemnation by the president
OF the United States of the defendant
awaiting trial in case which has at
gracted national attention constitute
interference with the courts of JUS
tlce, )" or not? If it does, then the con-
domination Of President Roosevelt is
from the lips of five of the seven iudg-
es OF the supreme court of the United
States speaking through Mr.. Justice
Holmes. That it is interference, per-
haps not wanton, but interference new
ertheless, is, we think clearly true.
The undesirability of Meyer, Hay
wood, Debs OF Hartman as citizens;
the disposition of mind of any one of
them or all of them, are matters not
properly to be discussed, according to
the supreme court when such discus
sion is premature, before or during
the tendency of trial. Dubuque Tele-
