EDWARD HUBBARD
FOUND NOT GUILTY
Short Line Engineer Charged With
Manslaughter Cleared by Jury
at Weiser on Thursday.

Engineer Edward Hubbard
of Glenns Ferry, who was in
charge Of the locomotive on the

21 when it ran over and killed
a little boy at Weiser, was pro-
nounced notguilty of the charge
Of manslaughter by the jury
empanelled to try him in the
district court at that town last
week. The State was unable
to show that the engineer was
grilty of any negligence in the
matter and the evidence clear
ly showed that Hubbard did not
know the accident had occurred
until he was arrested. The jury
was out but fifteen minutes and
took but but one ballot, which
resulted in his acquittal.

BOISE MAN HELD
FOR LARCENY
Arthur W. Stevens Brought Here
on Warrant Sworn Out by
Atlanta Man.

Arthur w. Stevens, a we'll
known mining man of Atlanta,
was arrested Friday Of last
week at Boise and brought to
this place the day following to
answer to a charge of larceny
made in Justice NorelPs court.
He was accompanied here by
his attorney, S. S. Blaine, and
on appearing was released on
his own recognizance until the
time set for his preliminary
hearing, which is fixed August
1st. The charge appears to
have it's origin in some trouble
of long standing between the
accused man and another min
ing man named Brannon, who
swore out the complaint.
Stevens is accused of having
stolen certain mining machin-
cry belonging to the complain
ant. He, however, while ad-

STATES INCREASED
FORESTRY INCOME
National Forest Service Under New
Law Must Pay Over One-Fourth
Of the Gross Receipts

In addition to the benefits Sc
cured by fire protection and by
regulations which control the
use of timberland and range so
as to insure permanent supplies
for local wants, the states hav-
ing national forests now receive
under the new Agricultural Ap-
preparation bill rs per cent of
the gross proceeds derived from
the sale Of national forest re-
sources. This amount, accord
ing to law, goes to offset any
losses to the states through the
withdrawal of forest areas from
taxation and is devoted to pub
lie roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints
were made that the withdrawal
Of timberlands for forest pur-
poses reduced the taxable areas
of the states in which with
drawals were made. The forest
service, quick to see the justice
of these complaints, recon-
mended at first that ten per
cent and later that rs per cent
of the gross proceeds from the
national forests should be paid
to the states. As a result the
states are assured of school and
road funds, doubtlessly more
certainly than they otherwise
could have been, since the per-
nance of the forest resources
is now secured by conservative
management. Had the forests
never been established, theirre-
sources would have been ex-
hausted by hasty and improvi-
dent methods Of exploitation,
leaving the lands wasted and
unproductive.

LAND OPENING AT
CLENNS FERRY SOON
King Hill Land and Irrigation Com.
pany viii Be Ready for Draw
ing on October II.

The State Land Board has
fixed upon October 18th, 1908,
as the day for holding the open
ing of the King Hill project.
The company has advised the
Board that on that date about
one-third of the land will be
Capable of irrigation and that
by April l, 1909, the system
will be completed. This pro-
iect is one of the smaller ones
of the state, but is interesting
on account of the difficulties
connected with the bringing of
water onto the land. The
source Of the water is the NAL
ad river, a small but swift
flowing stream that empties
into the Snake about fifteen
miles above the Ferry. The
water is taken from the stream
about a mile above the mouth,
where a large diverting' dam
has been constructed. Thence
the water is fumed down to
the Snake, across which it is
carried by a gigantic siphon.
It is then conveyed through a
long canal down the south bank
of the Snake onto the land of
the segregation, which lies in a
long shoe-string like strip down
the river from near King Hill
station almost to the Ferry.
This company has contracted
with the state to water a total
of $4,000 acres Of land. The
original project was for 10000
acres, but about 5000 acres of
this was found to be so difficult

which the taxes for 1907 were
delinquent was finally COM
menced Saturday morning, and
concluded on the Monday fol-
lowing. All but a small part
of the property was sold to the

for their authorization, the
proposition carried by one vote.
Some little doubt has been
raised as to the legality of the
election on account of the fact
that some who claimed to be
entitled to vote on the matter,
were refused by the judges.
Whether any attempt will be
made to contest the election,
cannot be learned, but so little
interest was shown in the
matter that any such action
seems at present improbable.

open secret, however, that the
only reason why the meeting

in evidence in any of the pro-

cided to let the antis have their
own way for the time being.

the next day. A business man can not
 go to Little Rock to transact business
 and return the same day without an
 accident of some sort. The service the
 railroad company pretends to give is
 rotten. Everybody is surprised to see train arrive on time. The old, stuffy, dingy depot remains an eye sore and disease breeder in our midst. .sThe rail road company will not build a new one as long as the present one will stand. Prescott ought to get the railroad commission down here to look the sit- uation over and then urge them to do everything in their power to relieve the people of the situation as far as possible. Then the people of Prescott and especially the city council ought to see that every municipal law with ref erence to a railroad is strictly enforced and enact more. There is no use to show any mercy or leniency toward the railroad. It is certain that it is not going to show even decent considera- tion for our wants and needs. The only use the railroad company has for Prescott is to get the several thous- ands of dollars out of our pockets an- nually for freight and passenger fare and it doesn't care whether it provides a decent station house or service or not. It shows no consideration for it's local employees or it would not allow them to occupy the old hull.
 The railroad has the don'ts. It thinks it is going to get even with the people for passing two-cent fare bills and train-stopping bills, since the supreme courts decision that interstate trains could not be stopped by state laws. That's all right, Mr Railroad. There are certain things however, that you are bound to do and the people are go- ing to see that you do them, or at least make very strenuous effort at it.

OUR RAILWAY FACILITIES.

If there was ever any doubt about there being any hostility between the railroads and the people, it begins to look now like that doubt is cleared away by the recent changes in sched- ues of trains and changes generally made by the Iron Mountain company. In fact it would be practically impossi- ble to arrange the trains in way to make 1t more inconvenient for the travelling public, for the newspapers, for theatrical people, for the mail ser vice generally, and for nearly every thing and everybody that has to do with the railroad. To some it may seem uncalled for to make this asser- tion, but how can we refrain?
 Three passenger trains go north in the morning all in bunch and one of them Ca very slow train) condescends to stop at Prescott. No. 6 going north after 500 o'clock in the afternoon stops only for St. Louis passengers, so we are up against it going north if we are not going to St. Louis. The afternoon papers must wait until midnight or the next day to get out. No. 223 does not carry mail so the Little Rock after noon papers can not reach us before

Statement Regarding Ernest Smith

Rosston, January 1, 1908. EDITOR NEWS:
 We, the undersigned, citizens of Rosston community, feel it our duty to make a statement in. regard to the character and standing of our deceased friend, Ernest Smith, who was killed at Rosston December 30th, 1906 by Jim Ammons.
 Ernest was born and raised within two miles of Rosston. He was known by everybody to be an honest hardworking boy. He associated with the best people the country afforded and was highly respected by everybody. He was always ready to accom- modate or to render assistance when requested by anyone. It is true his life was not perfect. He sometimes drank too much, but was by no means an habitual drunkard. In fact for the last twelve months he had almost en- tirely quit drinking until Christ mas and not anymore then than most of others
 The day Ernest was killed, he was in conversation with one of his friends an hour or two be. forehand and said he had fully decided to quit drinking and marry and settle down His un- timely death has left his rela- tiyes and friends heartbroken and in grief and we can only say, Gods will, not ours, be done.
 The facts in regard to the kill ing are quite different from the statement made by Jim Am. mons and published in The News but we will .not undertake to de tail them here. They will come out in the trial of the case.

4 bout Town.

Contractor Sullivan was the cause of a good deal of rubber necking Saturday afternoon at the new McRae building. After the big plate glass front had been safely put in place he took some green and white chalk and proceeded to do little artistic work. When he had finished one of the big plates looked ex- actly as if it had been broken and to make it look real a short piece of plank was leaned against the window, the effect being that some one let one end of the plank fall against the window. The work was so cleverly done that practically all the passers by were taken in. and their first query was:
 Who did it?" Wouldn't a business mems lea que be about the proper thing to handle this railway situation through. We need such an organi- tion, anyhow.
