Chew What You Know About and
 Know What You Are CheWinu

There is real pleasure in chewing the best tobacco grown-Where the best tobacco grows-in the famous Piedmont Country.
 Only choice selectiona of this well-matured and thoroughly cured tobacco is used in making SCHNAPPS. Thatswhy SCHNAPPS ana others of the Reynolds brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue Statistics for fiscal yea, made the wonderful growth of s;x and one- quarter million pouads, CT q net gain of one- third of the entire increased consumption cf chewing and smoking tobaccos in the United States.
 Evidently, chewers cannot resist thet1avor and they cheer SCHNAPPS because SCHNAPPS cheers them more than any other chewing to- bacco, and every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the good thing along-one Chewer makes other chewers- until the fact is now es- tablished that there are many more

chewers and pounds of tobacco chewed, to the population, in those States where SCHNAPPS tobacco Wl,s #7rst sold than there are III the Stats where SCHNAPPS has not ye+ been offered to the trade.
 SCt1NAPPS is like a cup of fine Java coffee, sweetened just enough to hring out its natural, stimulating qus...ies. SCHNAPPS pleases all clasze of chcwers: the rich, be- cause hey do not find chew that really pleases them better at any l2~:cs; he poor, because 1t is more ceSezrlical than the large 10c. or 15c. plugs and they get their mon- cy'5 worth of the real snappy, stirn- ulating flavor so appreciated by to- bacco lovers. All limitations con- tain much more sWeetening than SCHNAPPS. They are made that way to hide poor tobacco improp- erly cured.
 For the man who chews tobacco for tobacco S sake, there is no chew like SCHNAPPS.

that many others might have been
killed by the explosion made no i'm
preston on him. When he finally
exploded the bomb it went off before
he had planned, and he was compelled
to run in order to get to the hotel
so he could prove an alibi.
He denied that as soon as he ex-
ploded the Steunenberg bomb he went
to his bedroom in order to put things
around to prove he had not made
bomb. He said he was trying to re-
move all traces of his crime and had
cayenne pepper with him to put in
his shoes II dogs followed him.
He was arrested Sunday afternoon
in the hotel, but was not locked up,
being permitted to remain on parole
until Monday. No one came to see
him until the following Sunday, when
he was visited by James Sullivan, who
had acted as his lawyer in a suit in
Denver. Sullivan came to see If he
was Orchard. Sullivan refused to act
as his lawyer because he did not
know Idaho methods, but at his re-
quest telegraphed to Fred Miller OF
Spokane to come on.

At the council meeting last eve
ming the proposition of an ordinance
regulating concrete sidewalks in the
residence portion of the city was dis
cussed, and the city attorney was in
structed to draft an ordinance for
introduction next week 1t was
agreed to require all walks on the
streets running east and west to be
five feet in width, while those on the
streets running north and south, ex-
cepting Main. must be at least four
feet wide.
1t is also proposed to require the
center of the concrete walks to be
three and a half feet from the prop

on each side of the walk. The walks
are TO have a slope Of one inch.
The adoption Of such an ordinance
as is proposed has become necessary
on account of the fact that many
property owners in the residence secA
tions are planning to construct con-

Colored Elks Not Recognized.

Denver, June 13.-The colored
Elks of Colorado will not have the
protection of the state law providing
for the filing of badges with the secre-
tary of state. A few days ago Attor-
ney General Dickson wrote an opin-
ion in which he placed the applica-
tion of the law with reference to this
matter In the hands OF Secretary of
State Timothy o'Connor. Yesterday
Mr.. o'Connor said that he had decided
not to recognize the badges. emblems
and other insignia of the colored Elks,
as coming within the protection of the
law for the reason that they were so
similar to those used by the Elks.

By action taken by the directors
of the Washington & Columbia River
railway yesterday, that road has been
absorbed by the Northern Pacific and
will no longer be operated under
separate management. The action Is
said to have been taken at the instance
of President Howard Elliot of the
Northern Pacific, and advices from
Tacoma state that thetmove was one
of the features OF the struggle be-
tween James ]. Hill and friends of
President Elliot for the control Of
the Northern Pacific. 1t is declared
that the absorption of the w. & c. r.
was to the advantage of the Elliot
forces and that the move was brought
about by c. NJ. Levy, general manager
of the western division of the North
ern Pacific with headquarters at Ia
coma.
At the local W. & c. X. headquar-
ters nothing more is known of the
transfer than what has been publish
ed. However, among railroad men 1t
has long been known that efforts
were being made for years to have
the road placed under the direct
Northern Pacific management. BY
such action 1t is understood that the
line can be operated at less expense
and more advantageously in other
ways. What will be done with the
old officers of the road is not known,
but 1t is the supposition that the posi-
tions will be abolished and the road
operated under the. management Of
the superintendent of the Pasco divis-
ion Of the Northern Pacific.
1t is possible that the w. & C. r.
was taken in by the Northern Pacific
service out of Pendleton to connect
with the trains on the north bank
road when that line is completed. 1t
is generally supposed that the n. P.
will provide a good train service out
of Pendleton in order to get its share
of business to Portland, and the abb
sorption of the W. & c. R. may be
the first step toward that end.
Some w. & c. r. History.
The w. & c. R. was built during the
SOS by G. w. Hunt, the we'll known
pioneer and until recently owner Of
the big Hunt ranch near Echo. 1t was
built with the purpose of providing
a connection with the Northern Paci-
fic, hut was owned independently Of
that company. 1t was first called the
oregon & Washington Territory rail-
way. After it's completion the road
was acquired by C. B. Wright of Phil
adelphia, who disposed of 1t to the
Northern Pacific.
When the road was built into PEN
dleton strenuous objection was made
to the building of the Hne along Webb
street Property owners along the
street threatened to secure an injunc-
ton to keep the road from building
down that street. To avoid the injunc-
ton a large crew of men was placed
at work Immediately after midnight
one Saturday night and between that
time and Sunday evening the line was
laid through the city. BY doing the
work on the sabbath the builders
were immune from the service OF an
injunction.
When the road was built a large
amount of money was raised from
among the people of the county and
city as a bonus to help pay for the
road.

San Francisco, June 13.-The clos
ing argument by the defense in the
Schmitz case began this morning by
Campbell before an audience of 5000.
Campbell began by pointing out
that none of the French restaurant
keepers testified they had been
threatened. Then he made an attack
on Reagan, who, he declared, first
fought the restaurants on his own
initiative and then voted in favor OF
their licenses
Now Reagan comes into court
and forgets the essentials and magni-
fies the real. II 1t was true the
French restaurants were running
contrary to law, and none of these
restaurant men denied II, then there
could have been no threat. Take the
testimony of Reagan and see II you
can find the language OF threat
there. II you cannot find a threat,
you must find the mayor not gull
ty."
Campbell declared that Ruef's
confession was forced from him by
methods worthy of the inquisition,
and that as II was forced confess
sion, 1t should not be given weight.
He declared there Is not q scintilla
Of evidence 10 prove the mayor and
Ruef ever held a moments confer
ence in regard to the restaurants,
While Campbell ,poke, the mayor
sat with his head in his hands.

FLEECING THE FARMERS,
Fakirs Are Working the Country
With Worthless Stock of Goods


A number of years ago some fakirs
went through this country. Their
scheme was to call upon the weiI-to.
do farmer and place a large pile of
dry goods before him and then be-
gin flowery speech that had pre-
viously been prepared and learned
for the occasion. A great many far
mers in this vicinity invested $3.50 to
$500 In these goods at that time, says
the Tekoa Blade.
After their great benefactors (?)
had left the country, they made an
investigation of their goods without
the beautiful speeches of the silver
tongued orators and they found that
they had pile Of shoddy remnants
that were OF little value. The great
er part OF these goods the farmers
have yet. They have never worked
them up aud they certainly never
will.
There are several men going
through the country now calling up
ON farmers in the same kind OF way.
They have their stock OF dry goods
remnants and they tell very nice
story, but It is our opinion that the
very few few farmers who buy these
goods will wish their money back.
1t is our advice to farmers who read
thisarticle to give these fakirs a wide
berth and patronize the home mer-
chants who pay taxes and are doing
good to the town ond country.

Boise, June 13.-When the Haywood
case was resumed this morning Rich
ardson at once plunged into series
of questions designed to bring out
every detail of Orchards movements
just prior to the Steunenberg tragedy.
1t was plain that he desired to i'm
press the jury with the fact that Or
chard was broke, and realizing that
his former partners in the Coeur
d'Alene district had made fortunes
which he would have participated in
II he had not had to leave the state
because OF Steunenberg, he had mur-
dered Steunenberg without a sugges-
ton from anyone.
Asked IL he hal not told Jack Mof-
fet in Wallace that he was going to
Puget Sound to smuggle opium into
the country, Orchard said no. He
thought he might have said something
about a smuggling proposition, but
could not remember.
Burglary and Robbery.
Before he and Simpkins started for
st. Joe the latter gave him 800 which
he claimed was sent by Haywood. He
admitted he borrowed IS from Sa-
loonkeeper Murphy in Burke and then
that night broke open his cash reg
lister and stole $40.
Before reaching the st. Joe country
he and Simpkins went to Spokane and
stayed there three days, at the lat
| ter's home. They then went on to St.
Joe and hunted for a week. Simp-
kins, he declared, told him he would
help him kill Steunenberg, and would
give as an excuse for being in south
ern Idaho that he was going official
ly to visit a federation local at Silver
City.
He and Simpkins went direct to
| Caldwell. He stayed there three
weeks, while Simpkins went to Silver
City and HALEY TO visit federation To-
calls there. He made no attempt to
conceal himself, but went in the
streets freely, but denied all attempts
to attract attention to himself. Simp-
kins, he declared, did not keep from
| being noticed while in Caldwell.
He wrote Easterly and received
two letters from him which he tore
up. but he understood detectives had
| recovered part of one of them. He
made two trips to Nampa, where he
hoped to meet simpkins by appoint
ment. The letter making the date is
also in the hands OF the prosecution.
Simpkins. he swore, got cold feet
when the actual killing was discussed,
claiming he was so well known he
would get into trouble
Before going he and Simpkins made
bomb, using wood cases; but after
Simpkins went away he took it apart
and made another with a metal case.
He then called Easterly up by tel
ephone at Silver City and asked him
to come to Caldwell and help him.
Easterly, he swore, had been told by
Smpkins of the plot to kill Steunen-
| berg, and Easterly told him he could
| not come then. He denied that he
visited Boise contractors and tried to
sell non-freezable explosive.
About this time a photographer
started flash light. Borah and Rich
ardson both jumped and the deputies
and detectives dropped their hands to
their guns, but laugh followed as

parent.
