of advancing the price of milk to s
cents a quart in Moline this spring
have been abandoned by the milk deal
ers. For a time there was strong talk
of doing this. but at a recent confer

say that they cannot expect TO raise

Couldn't Pay Reward.

The Capital News correspondent
at Caldwell is responsible for the
followings Snowman have Their
trials and tribulations just the
same as frenized fnanciers. This
fact was demonstrated Wednes-
day night when travelling menag-
erie had its assortment of dogs
broken by some person stealing one
of them. The proprietor offered
a reward of $40 for its return.
Ed Hayes or some other one of
Emmetts' citizens, took up the
trail and finally captured the stolen
property near Caldwell. The show
man was notified of the capture but
before his arrival in Caldwell the
Emmett man sold his claims for the
reward, for st0. When the show
man arrived he was confronted
with the bill for 500, but being
financially embarrassed, he gave
mortage on his tent and one mon
key as a guarantee that he would
pay the debt and left for the town
on the Payette.

A Good Samaritan.

Beneath the rugged exterior OF
Uncle Jonathan Smith there beats
a great big heart. full of sympathy
for the distressed and unfortunate.
Modestly and quietly he goes about
doing deeds of kindness. A recent
instance of his unselfish generosity
has Just come to light. Two years
ago he learned that Mrs. Pierce
an aged widow, was in destitute
circumstances and without friends.
He took her to his home and made
her his housekeeper. The old lady
WAS afflicted with cancer. which
was slowly eating her life way.
For about a year previous to her
death, she was practically helpless,
vet Mr.. Smith cared for her as if
she were his own, and spent con-
siderable money for medical at
tendance upon her. Though not
a rich man by any means he spared
no expense to make her last days
comfortable. Three weeks ago he
sent the old lady to hospital at
Caldwell in order that she might be
given the best medical attention
possible, but the cruel disease had
done its work and in a few day she
passed away with blessing on her
lips for the man who had so unself-
ishly befriended her.

HE ROPED THE MOTOR.
Balky Machine Pulled Into
Town by Conda Wilson.

With a lasso around its ne, <
,the motor car was pulled into
town in disgrace by Conda Wilson
on Monday morning.
The car left Nampa on time. II
was = ded with eight passengers
ard Dii u..e Of mail sacks
Abou. two miles OH the other side
of the summit, the engine baked
and all attempts to continue the
Ju1.ne, wele unavailing. Two
of the passengers walked the en-
tire nine miles into town (no rebate
checks issued). and the others push
ed the car to the top of the grade
and with all aboard let er slide to
the valley below. Then the pas
sengers again took up their burden
and pushed the car another mile.
About that time Conda Wilson
rode up on horseback. He tied one
end of his lasso around the neck of
the machine and with the other
end hitched to his saddle horn,
he towed car, passengers, mail,
engineer, conductor, fireman, brake
man and porter into the depot
yards, 1t was the first time in the
history of the little machine that it
had had a motive power that could
be depended upon. Dewey should
give Conda life pass.

Tinker Named as Receiver.

The nomination of Fred V.
Tinker to be receiver of public
money at the United States land
office at Boise was sent to the
senate last week, to succeed E. E.
Garrett. whose term expired a
little over year ago. The nomi-
nation of Tinker was made last
spring upon recommendation of
Senator Borah, but was withdrawn
upon request of Attorney General
Bonaparte who wished Garret re-
tanned in the Office pending the
trial of Senator Borah on the charge
of timber frauds. Tinker lives at
Idaho City and has been engaged
in mining for several years.

RAILROAD RUMORs.
Idaho Northern to Become
Part of Interurban System.

Rumors are persistent of a change
in the ownership of the Idaho
Northern, and despite denials from
E. H. Dewey, there seems to be
some foundation for the stories. II
is stated on good authority that
the Idaho Northern will soon be-
come part of the Interurban sys-
tenn and that the entire line will be
electrically equipped. As the story
goes, the capitalists back of the Ida
ho Northern, with the exception of
Mr.. Dewey, are largely interested in
the Interurban and have been anx-
ious to combine the two roads.
To this Mr.. Dewey has objected,
but, it is understood, has finally
yielded and will accept large
block of stockin the combined cont
panies in exchange for his Idaho
Northern interests.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
Horseshoe Bend and Sweet
Covet Capital City.

Two years hence there will be q
lively county seat scrap in Boise
county. Both Sweet and Horseshoe
Bend will endeavor to wrest the
capital from Idaho City, and with
these two towns fighting each other
it is probable the county seat will
remain where it is.
Sweet has already begun a cam
paign and is prosecuting it vigor-
ously. She will have the whole
Squaw creek valley back of her and
probably..High valley and portion
of Round and Long valleys. Lo-
Gated on the Thunder Mountain
road, Sweet is the most convenient
capital site for those living in the
upper country.
Horseshoe Bend is an old hand in
the game. Three years ago she
gave Idaho City run for her mon
ey and was beaten bv a small mar
gin. This time, however, with
Sweet in the race, the Bend will
lose the support from Squaw creek
which she had at the previous cleo
ton.

Making Levees.

Boise Riggs and James Barnard,
on the west side of the river, and
Mr.. Hull and Mr.. Jackson on the
east side, have built levee aloug
the river bank to protect their
farms from high water. 1t is two
feet above high water mark and is
a splendid piece of work. These
gentlemen claim they have done
more river improvement, so times
over, in section c than the Payette
Improvement Co., which was grant
ed monopoly of the river by the
land board. There is a whole lot
of grumbling over the action of
the state officials in granting this
franchise.
