THOS. BOND WRITES OF THE Z
MARKETS.

After five months spent in travel
and investigation of the markets of
California, New Mexico, Arizona,
Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Louisiana and Colorado, in the inter-
est of Idaho produce, especially that
of the Idaho potato which | consid-
er can be made the best on any mar
ket, | will give you few words de-
scribing the markets we must look
to in the future to consume our sur
plus products, their wants, their
ways of marketing, the kind of pro-
duce they use and what they expect
of shipping; also what they think Of
Idaho; Idaho's future, its strong and
weak points and wherein we fail to
reach the standard the outside mar
kets demand of us. There are points
that will possibly interest your read
ers and be help to them, especial
" the farmers in planting, cultivat-
ing, harvesting and marketing their
crops.
Idaho as state has passed the in
fantile stage of existence, 1t has pass
ed also the experimental stage and 1t
is high time it put away it's swad-
ling clothes and take its place in the
great brotherhood of states.
The day was when the freight
er came to your door and bought
YOUR oats. All he cared for was oats.
He didn't want great deal of care
taken in sacking, the oats were used
on his long journey. They were not
as now, placed in show window and
sold as much on the neat appearance
of the sack and packing as on the
quality of the oats.
This little illustration will serve
for the present. The point I wish to
make is, we are now competing with
the markets of the outer world and
that market demands of us honest
value, careful and artistic packing,
quality and square deal.
Where yesterday we had a limit
ed home market, today we have the
world before us. We must raise the
standard of our exports up to the
standard of other states. California
is standard for oranges; Colorado for
potatoes; other states look to them
for ideals.
To sum the whole matter up, it's
up to us. .H
have written enough for this

A MATCH FOR KATE BENDER.

A woman nemed Belle Guinness who
has a farm at LaPorte, Indiana, has
been running a polite kind of killing
pen at her home for some time and
has just been discovered.
Her house burned down last week,
and three corpses were found in the
ruins. They were supposed to be
Mrs. Guinness and two adopted chill
dren, but ION investigation there is
some reason to believe that it was
some of her victims that burned, and
that she escaped to Chicago, and is
now in hiding there among friends
for whom she has put troublesome
people out of the way.
A story is circulated to the effect
that Mrs Guinness is cousin of Kate
Bender, one of the family that had
a stage station in Kansas many years
ago, and killed and robbed so many
people while at lunch, and buried the
bodies in the garden.
Mrs. Guinness worked on the mat
rimonial plan, and lured men to her
home as suitors, and then disposed
of them during their visit retaining
their money and valuables. Many
bodies were disinterred on her prem
ises, and there is reason to believe
that she had man partner who help
ed her in the work He is now in
custody, and the police are on the
lookout for Mrs. Guinness all over
the country. She was big muscular
woman, and 1t is thought that she dis
patched many of her victims with a
dirk of cleaver. There are indica-
tions also, that she was in league
with robbers and murderers in Chi
cago who killed and robbed people
in the city and shipped the dismem-
i bered bodies in trunks to the Gun
ness farm for burial in the night.

CITY-2,000 INDIANS FROM OK
LAHoMA RESERVATION.

DOUGLAS, February 22.-Represent
atives of the Kicking Kiekapoos, the
200-odd Indians of that tribe now well
known to Douglas because of their re,
cent proximity to this city, together
with epresentatives>of the government,
are dickering for the 100000 acres of
timber land known as Bajon Bonita,
which is located about fifty miles south
east of here and for which c. A. Over
lock and others were negotiating about
a year or more ago. 1t is planned to
bring the entire Kickapoo nation from
Oklahoma, about 1000 in number, and
place them on this land, which will be
bought with funds to their credit de-
rived from Oklahoma lands.
This would no doubt be satisfac tory
to all the Indians of that tribe, includ-
ing those officially designated as the
Kicking Kickapoos. They have been
in Mexico number of years and have
kept up their tribal instinct to a quite
unusual extent. They are fond of the
wild country to be found in this section
where the hunt is good and their bod
lily wants can be easily cared for.
