Louis Hammonds Pardoned.

Acting Governor X. O. Pindall granted pardon to Louis Hammonds, convicted at the April term, 1908, of the Montgomery County Circuit Court of grand larceny and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. The peti- tion for the pardon was presented by the wife of Hammonds, who appeared before the governor, together with her infant child. The baby attracted the attention of the governor, who replied to the thanks of Mrs. Hal.lmonds by saying, Don't thank me; thank the baby"

No Convict Labor Contracts Likely.

No Convict Labor Contracts Likely.
 Commissioner of Agriculture Guy B. Tucker says he does not believe the penitentiary board will let another contract for convict labor. MT. Tuck CT stated that he had talked with Sec retary of State O. c. Ludwig concern ing the matter and that from MT. sions of others he did not think an other contract would be let. The Reaves contract expires this month, and the Penitentiary Board has al ready advertised for bids for the labor.
 "I believe that the interests of the state might be best served by the awarding of another convict labor con tract" stated MT. Tucker, but I do not think the people of the state want any more such contracts, and I believe that the board is the instrument of the people and that we should do as the people desire, A year ago we could scarcely have afforded to re- fuse to award a contract as, in case the penitentiary fund had had de- felt, we would have had no way to get in money until the legislature met, and that would have been two years. The legislature will meet in a matter of seven or eight months, and do not believe it necessary to put the convicts out to contract in order to raise money to bolster up the fund, af fo hot 1a loo icIo ture meets within such a short time and can come to our rescue in case the fund has a deficit"
 Normal Faculty Completed.
 State Superintendent of Instruction J. J. Doyne has announced that the Executive Committee of the State Normal College Board has selected all of the teachers for the faculty of the new state normal. The board, at a recent meeting, selected all but one teacher and the committee has sincc selected the remaining teacher and also another to fill the position left vacant by the withdrawal of one of those elected.
 Miss Catherine Wicker of Tampa, Fla, who was selected to teach his tory and geography, found it impos- sible to accept the position. Miss Annie c. McIver, who is completing @ post graduate course at Vassar Col lege, daughter of Dr. Charles V. Me Iver, for many years president of the State Normal College of North Caro- lima, was elected to fill the position left vacant by Miss Wicker.
 Miss Beatrice Powell of Tennessee was elected instructor of vocal music and reading. Miss Powell is now completing course at Westminster, Pa.

An Old Settler.

The Orator-Outburst, a paper pub
lished in Spokane, contains a link
etching of Robert e. Strahorn and
has the following sketch which will be
read with interest by Mr.. Strahorn's
Caldwell friends:
mfr. Strahorn is president of the
North Coast railway that Is construct
ing lines that are destined to play a
very important part in the develop
ment of the Inland Empire. 1t will
give Spokane and its contiguous ter
ritory another seaboard opening. A
glance at the above cartoon will show
that the road will be fed by several
of the richest districts in the United
States, and the venture will doubtless
prove highly remunerative to Mr..
Strahorn and his progressive asso-
ciates. The entrance Of the road into
Spokane is an interesting subject
at this time and is provoking no lit
tie guessing as to its location. Mr..
Strahorn's work is thoroly appreciat-
ed by the people of Spokane, and no
unreasonable barrier will be thrown
in the way of his entrance to the

The Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is actively en-
gagged in preparing its Annual Week
of Self-denial, which has now become
an established custom thruout the
world. The dates fixed are April 10
to 26, but owing to too much terri
tory and help being limited makes 1t
difficult to do justice in the above
dates for this reason our officers have
already begun. Last year The Army
raised a rpincely sum by this means,
which enabled it to pursue its Mis-
sionary, Spiritual and Social Work
with uninterrupted success.

vast and worldlike movement this
has become. These modern crusad-

JUSTICE is DONE.

On Canyon hill lies the body of
Frank Steunenberg. In the Idaho
State penitentiary is Harry Orchard.
Elsewhere is William D. Haywood,
George Pettibone, and Charles e.
Meyer. Justice is done according to
the laws of Idaho, and the famous
case is finished. The last chapter
was enacted last week when Orchard
plead guilty and was sentenced. He
now awaits the action of the Board
of Pardons. No doubt the Board will
carry out the suggestion of Judge
Wood that mercy be shown the con-
fessed murderer. AS the time Is now
passed when any word We might say
can possibly effect any one concerned,
it can do no harm to pause a moment
and think the matter over. We can
calmly review the case without mall
ice toward the prosecution or criti-
cism of the court. No doubt Judge
Wood administered the law as he
found it. No doubt the prosecuting
attorneys did every thing in their
power to arrive at justice. In spite
of all this an injustice has been ac-
complished. Without pronouncing
a eulogism on Frank Steunenberg, We
may say that his assassination was
one of the foulest blots that will ever
deface the fair name of Idaho. The
decision of the people and the con-
clusion of the court is that his MUIR
der was the contamination of a con-
spiracy, in which Meyer, haywood,
and Pettibone were the principals aud
Orchard the agent. Yet three of
them are given a certificate of goo d
character and the fourth is reco m
mended to our kind and merv sifu
consideration. This is the resr lit Of
the cases and this is justice, accord

About Vaccinations.
Editor Tribune:

Eultor tribune:
read in your last issue a treatise
on vaccination, and court citations
pertaining thereto.
Permit me to say that vaccination
is all right, and the rule should be
rigidly adhered to, but let us get at
1t in some way that does not smack
too much of organized graft and
greed.
In the first place the price of vac
cination here is an outrageous one,
If have not been misinformed. The
vaccination of school children should
be done at public expense, the same
as school books are furnished at pub
lie expense, and this service should
be performed as a part of the duties
of the public physician, under direc'
ton of the school board and the
board of health, with no other ex
pense to school patrons than the ply
sician's salary.
The burden of this dollar head
vaccination falls heaviest on poor
people who usually have the larges
families and are least able to beal
the expense. Hence I am constrained
to the belief that vaccination should
be done at public expense, thus re
moving any suspicion of graft by in
dividuals organized into a trust.

The Islands of the Snake.

s. Calkins was in the city Tuesday
and renewed his allegiance to the Tri-
bune for another year. Mr.. Calkins
has recently moved on an Island in
Snake River, just a short distance be-
low the Warm Springs ferry. The
land Is unsurveyed and does not be-
long to either Canyon or Owyhee
Counties, and the owner will not be
subject for taxes in either county. He
was informed at the Boise land Office
that there was no way by which he
could file on it, but he could locate on
squatters right. Mr.. Calkins intends
painting the island to fruit; it con-
tains about eleven acres and is very
rich land. Irrigation will be neces-
sary and for that purpose he has pur-
chased a gasoline engine and pump
which he will put on a scow SO he
can move his pumping pant to any
part of the island. At this season OF
the year the river Is fordable So that
he can drive his team across to either
shore. Another island Just below
him is taken by his son and another
of 35 acres above him is taken by q
man from near Nampa who intends

RUMPUs IN DEMOCRACY.

The Democracy of Idaho is sorely
afflicted. 1t has the Capital News,
the dynamiters, the Mormons and the
anti-Mormons, Senator Dubois and
John Nugent. This would be anough
to paralize most any organization.
1t Is no wonder that the dilapidated
Dmocratic party of Idaho Is up
against it. The Capital News says
Senator Dubois Is INSCRIPTIONS. The
Senator says the Capital News Is q
dynamiter, and the people say they
are both 'damphools.' We think all
are telling the truth. The statement
made by Mr.. Nugent and SO earnest
ly defended by the Capital News, that
he, (Mr. Nugent) had spent more
money than any other man ever had
for the success of the Democratic par
ty, points to a strong alliance be-
tween the Capital News wing of the
Democratic party and the Western
Federation. The claim of the Capital
News that Senator Dubois had also
profited by similar alliance and his
population of that organization
points his reformation, but that he
should SO soon indulge in discrimina-
ton against the Western Federation,
shows his fickleness. 1t is altogether
rum discussion, and we wonder
what men like John G. Rice and D. l..
Evans think of it. We wonder If such
men would rather swallow anti-Mor-
monism or dynamite? We cannot see
where honest men could have much
choice. One side is as bad as the
other and a little bit worse. However
it is a Dmocratic rumpus, and The
Tribune shouldn't be butting in.
Facts are facts, however, and they
are coming out. The people of Ida
no are not particularly concerned as
to the outcome.

Wood Devouring Machines.


New York Tribune: Timber eat
ing machines, big and sman, that
slice and carve and grind and rip--a
battery of whirring and screening
monsters necessarily at work in every
state in heUnion-account for a con-
slant depletion of forests, estimated
at forty-five square miles every day in
the year. They are hungry, these ma
chimes; they have an appetite for tim
Der, and many of the most eager feed
themselves without human aid. And
not always the biggest and noisest eat
the most. There are little, ratlike
machines, banded together, that nib
be and knaw SO swiftly that their
teeth clean up the equivalent Of acres
of forest In a day. These just sup
by the nation with trifie like ex-
celsior, perhaps, or toothpicks.
Like most other wholesale de-
vourers, these machines waste much
while they consume. The giant buzz
saw, humming and roaring its way
thru huge logs In a Western forest,
spills one-fourth of its meal in prac-
tically useless sawdust that must be
burned at extra cost. One-third of
all the trees felled goes to the waste
dump as slabs, cores and corners. The
smaller machines eat more closely,
but make 1t up on a finicky palate.
They disdain to touch the leavings
of another and demand their own pc
cuilar forest menu.
A pretence at economy Is made by
such an apparatus as the veneer ma
chine. which peels off strips of wood
only one-thirty-second of an inch
thick, but one days peeling uses up
one hundred thousand feet of lumber.
The bulk Of a metropolitan Sunday
newspaper is fairly well appreciated,
yet few would guess that fifteen acres
of spruce trees are contained in the
news sheets and supplements of a one
days issue.
Some of these timber eaters move
about the country hungrily, like
beasts of prey who have exhausted
the means of subsistence in one terri
tory and roam about in search of a
fresh field. The portable sawmill is Of
this description. Even with its ON
nivorous appetite for anything that
resembles lumber the food supply in
evitably runs short, soonr or later,
and it must go ten miles further on
for a new pasture.
A toothpick factory not content
with anything except white birch,
must often pick up its belongings
and travel. Some years later it may
return to the old hunting ground,
which has become stocked with q
fresh growth of birch.

VISITED SUNDAY SCHOOLS YEsIEspAY.

Mr.. Charles G.. Trumbull, managing
editor of The Sunday School Times. Wis.
tied plumber of our Sunday schools Sun
day. Owing to his limited time he was
not able to spend much time with any of
the schools.
However, within the hour, he visited
and gave a short lecture to the pupils and
teachers of the Episcopal and Zion
Churches.
Mr.. Trumbull talked for about ten min
utes on SUNDAY School Work in Gener
al at Zion Church He then went to the
Episcopal. and delivered a lecture of about
twenty minutes duration.
At the Episcopal Church Mr.. Trum-
bull talked on the word Cant" using
as an illustration the occasion recorded in
the Bible when Christ was delivering one
of His sermons and the house was filled to
such an extent that there was no room
for any one else; some friends of Ger ain
sick man took the disabled man and let
him down through The roof in order that
Jesus might cure him of bis disease.
Mr. Trumbull used this story to excmp-
lily his lecture. He said that if the friends
of the sick man had not had an omnipoi ent
will they would never have undertaken
to lower him through the roof He said
that many people do not have the will
power to overcome even small things or,
in other works, do not take the trouble.
