SUGAR BEET HARVEST

The sugar ihset harvest is on ia full
blast at Hayden lake this week.
Fully 100 msE are pulling beets on

constructed on the Electric line.
While the men at work Rre LurrFinp
the harvest at a rapid pace, they are
anxious to have this kind of weather
continue for at least another month
in order that the crop gathering be
not impeded.
There are over 1900 acres of these
beets to be gathered, all @: which are
shipped to the sugar beet factory at
Waverly, at the rate of from four to
five carloads daily, there to be con-
verted into sugar. The per cent of
saoeharine is Is, which is said to be
the highest in sugar beets.
The yeild is, on the whole, very
good, averaging, where the crop was
not destroyed by cot worms in the
new ground, IL 10 claimed from 10 to
ls tons per acre. The producer re.
ceives SIS per ton when delivered on
the cars at the Electric station.
This lie considered very good mas.
much as rs cents wheat, yielding 40
bushels to the acre, produces not
more than ESQ per acre in the gross.
Another year, it is thought, the yeild
will be better. On account of the
ground having been worked. it will be
freed from pests.
D. G. Corbin is on the ground
much of the time, having direct sup.

SILLY PROFESSOR

Pennington, n, j., Oct l0--In

a pretty and popular senior from the

Miss Helen Diverty, handsome.

RAILWAY BUYS
MORE PROPERTY
Thought to be Northwestern Sc
curing Terminals

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 1O.-The
continued buying and attempts TO
buy property along the river front
in the business district in behalf of
some railroad company continues TO
be the absorbing subject Of con
yersation in realty circles.
w, s. McCrea, who has engineer
ed most OF the deals thus far, and
who has kept the name of the NOV
ing railroad discreetly in the back
ground, said yesterday that he had
secured about all the property re-
quired for the purposes to which
IL is TO be put. From this II is in
ferred that, while he has only OBJ
tanned options on several lots in
block 3, apparently in the direct
path of the prospective improve
ment, he does not consider these
parcels of such vital Importance as
to be willing to pay more than the
amounts offered in case the owners
do not readily come TO terms.
In at least one case where the
owner, nonresident. has shown
disposition to hold out for high
er price than that offered, he was
informed lAat he might have To

less sort Of fellow who has ''booxedT'
until he has alomst lost control of
his faculties.
When questioned by District AT
torney Lomax yesterday morning as
to what he had said Hbout the Brown
case at Granite, Tucker said that he
did not remember OF saying anything.
He had been drinking heavily for
soHne time, and had lots all conscious
ness of where be was, what he was
doing, or what he was saying.
The officers at Granite heard the
man say that he knew all about the
Brown case at Baker City but thet
be would not tell on the other two
men, for they had caught u train and
had gotten away to Cheyenne. They
questioned Linn about the bomb and
he said that 1t was made of nitrogly-
cerine and sawdust, and that he was
within 40lfeet of the bomb vixen it
was exploded. This would have been
almost impossible for the effects OF
the bomb were plainly noticeable so
feet away.
Tucker says he has mot been in this
city for several weeks, was not here
at the slime Of the murder and knows
nothing about the case. THIS seems
10 be the truth and after TnvestiRat-
ing the statements of Tucker con
corning his departure from Baker City
be will be JUCned leose.
ALLEN TURNED LOOSE.
Dan Allen, the man who was ar !.
rested at Union on suspicion of bav-
ing some knowledge of tie case was
yesterday released from custody.
Detective Swain has been employed
by the county to handle the case
here, and has been busy look Tag for
some clue. but as yet has found none
that points to anything definite. phe
only fact that lis geRSrally believed
10y the officers and the>people is that
lthree men were implicated in the

'kimono. Even the stOcy of three men
lis only q suspicion, and something
may turn up later to entirely upset
this theory.
Captain Swain has alleged that
tHovernor GoOding sent his secretary
and other Idaho dR1cials here to
him in his wOrk. The people
of this city dc not think that any
thing will be done soon by the off
GERS, and many think that the guilty
party or p rites will never be known.

all over the county advertising the
for the capture of the aesas

TO ABOLISH MAIL
ON BAD ROADS
Government Insists Upon Good
Roads for Rurals

Pierre, S. D., June 7.--lf some of
the rural free delivery routes in the
southern and eastern portions of the
state are discontinued on account of
the condition of the roads, the peo-
pie of that part of the state can
thank the members of the legislature
from their counties for killing the
good road bill last winter, for the
cutting off of their mail delivery.
When the bill was up the members
from the northern and western coun-
ties supported it generally but the
heavier vote of the southeast was
too much for them and the bill was
defeated. There are very few rural
free delivery routes in the part Of
the state where the bill was support
ed, while the part of the state which
opposed it is closely threaded with
such routes, some of the counties
being SO we'll covered that practical
ly every resident can get mail deliv-
cry. The government is now send
ing out inspectors to examine routes
with the announcement that they
will be discontinued where the roads
are not in condition for convenient
and rapid delivery.
