Mormons Menace Idaho.

"While l have always been re-
publican I firmly believe that tina
Mormon church issue is one Of
paramount Importance, and that
the voters of Idaho are not un-
aware Of the dominating influence
of the Mormon church in state
politics." said Judge r. s. Ander-
son, Of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, who
was in Spokane yesterday on his
way to Occur d. Alene. 1.-THE voice
of the voters Of the state will be
heard in the coming election; if
not then it will be heard later.
1t is in my opinion, an assured
fact that nothing short of death
will prevent the nomination Of
Taft at Chicago and Of Bryan at
Denver" continued the Judge;
"and I predict that before the
election is settled in November,
we shall see one of the hardest
fought battles in the history Of the
American politics since James G.
Blaine and Cleveland were pit
ted against each other.
The people at large demand
and will have change in the tariff
legislation OF the country. A
monied plutocracy has been built
up too rapidly in the last 80 years

charged that Estes had drugged
and outraged his daughter.
The case attracted national at
tention as it involved the "unwrit-
ten law" 1t was shown that Estes
took Elizabeth Loving out buggy
riding and brought her to the home
of the friend she was visiting in
an unconscious condition. Loving
shot him the first time they met.
After sensational trial he was &C
quilted.
Prominent among the women
who organized the monument fund
was Mrs. Bennett r. Gordon, wife
Of the present circuit Judge. When
Loving was yet on the bench, and
Gordon was commonwealth attor-
ney, the two locked themselves in
a room from which the furniture
had been removed and settled a po-
litical difference with bare fists,
fighting until both were so exhaust
ed they could no longer stand.
Only handful of neighborhood
people were present when the
monument was unveiled on the an
niversary of Estes death. Loving
lives with his family on the estate
of Thomas F, Ryan, the New York
financier, Of which he is superin-
tendent.

The long and short Of 1t was that

loosed off at him directly Wood was
missed. He was a quick shooter,

far in the Fleur de Lis, close pris-

broken out and got to shore in the

Questioned as to the con dential

"The duke has stuck to them.
There's money in them, a big pile,

White Pine Land.

White pine land in this section is
good agricultural soil, according to D.
A. Breese, who owns nice farm north
Of Troy. This week he brought in a
sample of Timothy from white pine land
This sample is four feet, two inches
tall, with no sign Of heads, and will
make a fine crop. For the past six
weeks Mr.. Breese has had early vege-
tables and says he has raised fine crops
the first season on white pine soil.
There seems to be no turpentine in
white pine soil, and it produces the
first year. The fact that the Potlatch pine
lands make fine farms is fast dawning
on the general public, and there is nc
reason why the demand for this class
Of real estate should not rapidly in
crease.

The Milwaukee May Change Plans.

Palouse, WASH, June NV. +.
Chalenor returned last night from a
weeks stay in the mining district east
Of here in Idaho, and says that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
has ordered its corps OF engineers to
abandon the work on the south fork oil
the Palouse, which would take the
branch from St. Maries to connection
with the Washington, Idaho & Mon
tana at Harvard, and commence new
survey from Bovill, the terminus Of the
w., l. & M, to St. Maries.
The first survey was made to Bovill,
and about two months ago the survey
on the south fork route from St. Marie:
to Harvard was started. The change
back to the Bovill route is said to be
due to the fact that the company wishes
TO extend the road from the connection
with the Potlatch company's road tt
Lewiston. To do this it will be al
most necessary to take the Bovill route
An abundancce of supplies has beer
delivered at Bovill for the surveyors
and it is supposed that the survey vii
be made through from St. Maries t
Lewiston.

Cohen. now frantic with fear, held
him back. begged. implored, and at
last even went down on his knees
and-woke up in his own bed all wet
with perspiration. He was terribly
nervous, and all the details OF the
{, horrible dream were still fresh in

| to manufacture diamonds what would
then his mines be worth?
The rest OF the night he slept with.
out dreams. but as soon as he woke
up in the morning he thought OF his
dream, and the thought would not
leave him. Magda escaped the lee
ture she had looked for. Her father
was meek and even pleasant.
At 8 o'clock tea DIR. Brill appeared,
greeted Cohen In the most friendly
manner as IL nothing had happened.
and was surprised to notice that
Cohen had changed his behavior to-
wards him.
But see, father-in-law," he CURLY
said, taking copy OF lie Figaro from
his pocket, do you know that a
French scientist has succeeded In
manufacturing genuine diamonds by
chemical process. The diamonds
that he makes are so very small, but
there is nothing to prevent the manu-
facture OF larger ones as soon as the
cost of the process Is cheapened."
The councillor turned pale and look
ed at the doctor wondering whether
he knew anything about his dream.
He felt very uncomfortable and his
voice trembling little as he asked:
do you think that Is true?"
DR.. Brill looked up and said In the
most matter of fact way: IL don't see
why IL shouldn't be true, as l have ex-
perimented considerably in that line
myself. and expect to be able TO man
ufacture diamonds in the very near
future. AS soon as I get the details
OF the French scientists invention

Now you mustn't do that, my dear
DOCTOR" Cohen cried. Would you be
kind enough 10 come with me into the
library for a moment? The ladies
will excuse u.s."
When the two men were alone the
diamond dealer whispered: do you
really believe IL is possible to manu-
facture diamonds"
You know we chemists analyze
everything"
II know that, know that, even the
feelings OF a father-in-law, as you
said yesterday / have changed my
mind since that time and you may
marry Magda now
Dr. Brill jumped TO his feet and was
about to thank the councillor who in
terrupted him and said: You may
