SANITY TOWN

Socialists Plan Utopia Near Grand
COuiee-Will Set 5000 Acres
to Fruit.

SPOKANE, Sept. 20.--tThere will
be no policemen IN our town TO both-
or people for they VIII all be good
people there So says j. S. Licnty,
a prominent socialist leader, in
speaking of his Utopia, which is to
founded at Adrian, near the Grand
soulee. Some of the principal social
lists OF the state, including Walter
Thomas Mills of Seattle. Judge w.
4. Richardson, H. w. Mangold, JAS.
Erickson, w. F. Ludwig. Peter J.
Leavander. r. r. Hyer. John Dorick
and j. G.. Lichty, have filed articles
OF incorporation for the Adrian Irri-
cation company, with capital stock
Gf 100000.
This is the foundation of colony
which, even if not composed entirely
Of socialists, will nevertheless have
p flavor of socialism. Three thOuS-
and acres of choice lana have been
secured and water rights from i've
big lakes have been purchased b..
the Adrian Irrigation company.
The land VIII be divided into five

viii even own the city officials.
While the town will be run on
this plan, the community in the en-
tire irrigated district Will profit by
cooperative enterprise. The indiv-
iGual rights of every man will be re-
spected and acknowledged, but the
labor will be carried out on big
scale so the cost of production will
fall lightly on each individual.
1T will not be socialist COM
munity. You cannot coloniZe social
ism. but We hope to attract social
ISIS there, said J. S. Lichty when
asked concerning the plans for the
oGr work as muoh as possible so as
much as possible SO as to make the
expense of production as light as
possible. and this will not interfere
with individual manipulation or
work. The town We will establish
will be a municipal ownership or
ganization throughout. We will
have no policemen there to bother
the people. for they will all be good
people there. W will own our own
municipal light plant and all pub
lie utility enterprises. There will
be no graft and no grafters. 1t will
be good place to live in"

TERRIFIED DANCING GIRLS
ARE ATTACKED BY LIONS
A Sensational Scene That Was No>
on the Program In Paris
Music Hall.

Paris.-Two women fell into a cage
OF lions in the Apollo, a new music
hall only recently opeEed. and were
nearly eaten up. The spectacle was
much more sensational than had been
intended by the program. The two
women were tight-rope dancers and
we're supposed to perform series OF
clever feats on rope stretched across
the stage, and under which there was
a big cage with two lions. The top
OF the cage was left open, so that the
lions could see the women perform
ing over their heads, and the public
could at the same time enjoy the de-
lightful sensation of terror. The lions
as a rule took no interest in the feats
of the tight-rope walkers. However,
they suddenly awakened from their
indifference when the rope snapped in
twain in the middle of performance
and the unhappy women fell literally
into the jaws of the lions. The wild
beasts naturally did not understand
the situation and mauled and clawed
the women terribly. One of the wom-
en- had presence of mind enough to
remain PROSTATE on the floor OF the
cage, and succeeded in crawling out,
while her companion was so imprud
ent as to stand up and was being
by the lions. The audience
was in a panic women screamed with
terror and tainted. After consider
abb efforts the remaining woman was
finally rescued from the cage.

AMBITION OF BOSS CROKER.
Exile Said to Cherish Desire to Enter
British Parliament.

London.-The newspapers are re-
yiving the report that Richard Croker
cherishes an ambition TO enter the
British parliament as an Irish nation
alist member. Recently Mr.. Croker
has taken an interest in the work of
the nationalists, made contributions
to the party funds, lent automobiles
for electioneering purposes and iden-
titled himself with the party by APP
pearing on the platform at the recent
convention in Dublin. 1t is doubtful.
however, il Mr.. Croker would be will
ing 10 foreswear his American citizen
ship and much more doubtful if he
could find a constituency desiring to
take him up as a candidate, or if the
party leaders will welcome the acqui-
sition of politician of such master
full nature.

HAYWOOD SICK
TRIAL STOPPED
Defendant In Conspiracy Trial
Was Very Sick Man for
a Short Time.
Physicians Called and Sick Man 10
Soon Out of Danger and Ready
to Proceed With Trial on
Monday Morning.

Boise, Ida-William D. Haywood
was seized with a sudden illness early
Saturday morning and was unable to
appear In court. His trial on the
charge that he murdered former Gov
ernor Steunenberg was adjourned I'M
til Monday. Haywood was restless
and i'll most of Friday and early Sat
urday morning began crying in pain.
Two hurriedly summoned physicians
announced, after examining him, that
he was suffering from an acute in
festival toxemia. Measures for the
alienation of the pain in his aldo
men and head included the admins
tration of morphine, and dizziness
and nausea caused by the drug, rath-
er than the original trouble, were re-
sponsible for his inability to go to the
court room in the afternoon.
Haywood is a hearty eater, and
since the trial began has stopped TAX
Ing exercise, and these conditions,
added to the worry and strain of the
trial, are believed to be responsible
for the attack. The earlier suffering
Of the prisoner created the impression
that he was quite seriously i'll, and it
was thought that an extended inter-
ruptioa of the trial was inevitable.

Colorado Girl Goes to Jail Rather
Than be Defrauded.

Colorado Springs.-Because Exine
Fuller refused to be dissuaded from
her belief that possession is nine
points of law, she is spending her
hours in cell at the county jail. She
was brought into court because she
refused to surrender the books of the
Mary Murphy Mining company which
she acknowledges to be in her pos
session. Miss Fuller claims about $50
salary for work done upon the books.
When the mining company demurred
to immediate payment of the sum
Miss Fuller is alleged to have in
formed the officers that as long as
payment was deferred, just so long
would they seek in vain for the
books. She was sentenced to Jail an
til she would consent to turn over the
books. 'I'll stay in Jail till l rot" she
said. "but shan't tell where they
are"

FUTURE MOTIVE POWER.
Remarkable Prediction Made BY Sir
Hugh Bell Regarding Electricity.

LoRdon.-A remarkable forecast
has just been made by Sir Hugh Bell,
the new president of the Iron and
Steel institute, in his presidential ad-
dress.
Speaking of the great improvements
in shipbuilding he suggested that in a
hundred years, with little or no ma
chinery. ship would speed on her
way drawn by electric force gener-
ated at Niagara and transmitted over
the Atlantic by wireless telegraph.
Strange as this forecast might be,
he said it was no more incredible
than what had happened since 1907.
The world moved on in a succession
of dreams and their fulhllment.
Sir Hugh Bell said that it was abb
solutely impossible to do better than
to venture a guess as to the march of
science in the immediate future, and
that almost anything might be ex-
pected to happen.

Au,i-Box Ordinance in Baker.

The ordinanc providing for the
regulation of boxes in restaurants and
saloons was the big work of the
evening. In Portland, It is said, there
was at one time fight on boxes and
the ordinance passed in that city did
not work. The claim is made that
the ordinance has been attacked in
all the courts and that 1t has held
water. When 1t was read in the coun-
Gil chamber last night Bowen and
Wright voted nay. However, after
being assured by Mayor Johns that
the ordinance was for the bestin
ests of the city they still contended
that It did not meet with their ap-
proval and voted against 1t when the
roll was called.
There were not enough members
voting for the measure to carry It,,
and the mayor announced that 1t was
lost. Later Mr.. Bowen addressed the
chair and asked that his vote be
changed from nay to yea, which was
done and the measure became law
at the signature of Mayor Johns. The
chief of police with a troubled look
on his face, ased the mayor at what
time did the ordinance become eff
fectiye and what was the instruction
regarding It. Mayor Johns informed
him the ordinance was at that mo-
ment a law, and to give the saloon
and restaurant managers 10 days to
comply with the regulations.-Ba-
ker City Herald.

counties of the state, State Auditor
Robert Bragaw estimates the total
valuation of the state Of Idaho at
about ss2,OOO,O00, an increase in
round numbers of $10,00O,000 over
last year. The most notable increase
is that shown by the three most
northern counties, Kootenai, Bonner
and Shoshone, the latter showing an
increase of about $S,OOO,OOo over last
year, and Kootenai and Bonner COM
bined showing an increase of over
$2,OO0,000. The great increase in

the net profits of the mines of that
county, these practically doubling
