COTTON RATES
 NOT GOING UP
Ii Is Probable, However. That the Rate on Cotton Seed Oil and Other Com. mOditicS Will Be Raised at d Con- ference of Officials Today.

1 Louisville, Ky, July 16.-A confer ence of executive officials of south- ern railroads, operating south of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi was called here today for the purpose of discussing a proposed Increase in freight rates on certain commodities.
 It can be stated that no increase of cotton and lumber rates is contem- plated It is highly probable, however, that the rate on cottonseed oil VII be raised. as well as rates on other com modties It is not likely that rates on general merchandise will be changed. It is learned that the rall- roads will plead, among other things, in justification of any Increase of rates that may be deemed eNpedient, the necessity of overcoming rate re- ductions recently effective-notably with reference to passenger traffic.
 The ella m is made that the railroads have already gone the limit in the matters of reducing their operating expenses through curtailment of sal- aries in every hvanch where a cut could be made without inviting seri- ous complications. Hence the ques- tion now is the raising of revenue sufficient to meet the absolute eXigen- cies of their properties.
 Another justification for raising cer- tain rates will be the necessity of meeting greatly increased operating expenses incident to the handling of this falls business, and the fact that in many instances salaries which were reduced last spring will be restored to their former basis. Notice of an ln- cease of rates on packing house and grain products August has already been given.
 While rates on certain commodities. notably cottonseed oil, will be raised, as result of the Louisville confer ence, it can be said that the general question of rate increase will be treat ed very delicately, and no rate raised that can be allowed to remain as now ] fixed.

Hot Springs, July 16.-The expect ed arrival of R G. Wade, the first hus- band of Mrs. Ada Reichers, who was murdered ten days ago, has been post poned through a delay i'll the transmits sion of the requisition papers from Arkansas to Oklahoma. Officers are now in Guthrie where Wade is appear ing before Governor Haskell at the hearing on the requisition. Wade is backed up in his contention for an albi by numerous afiidavits and testi- monials of good character, and there is some doubt as to whether he will be brought to Hot Springs at all. If he is he will not arrive before tomorrow or Saturday.
 their efforts on the suspect at Shreve- port, La. and officers will be sent to bring him to Hot Springs tomorrow The man under arrest at Shreveport. who gives the name of Leach, is be- lieved by many to be Archie Canister.
 Frank P. Reichers, husband of the murdered woman, left yesterday for New Orleans on business, after placing all the information at hand in the hands of Pinkerton men, who have been employed on the case. It is be- lieved the Pinkertons have been fur nished with additional facts to those already given the public and a solu- ton of the mystery is expected within short tme

Plantation for Rent

We desire to make a five year con tract on a place as desirable from every standpoint as the best farm in the Little Rock district cotton lands.
 There are 1900 acres in the tract, 300 of which are in high state of cultivation. The place is thoroughly ditched and is clean all over. It is above the highest overflow, without levee. Soil is mostly rich, sandy loam varied occasionally by mix ture Of sandy and stiff soil.
 Gin, press and engine comparative ly new. There is an attractive cot tage for lessee The tenants houses are probably the best in the district.
 There is a railroad station on the place, and it is also reached by about 10 miles of pike out of Little Rock.
 The place is well stocked with live stock and implements, which must be purchased by the lessee Likewise the lease must be made by financial ly responsible person, or must carry a strong endorsement
 Any one with money, who does not own his own place, will, we believe, find this a great opportunity. UNION TRUST COMPANY

The collection of the sec ond assessment of the fund guaran- teed by the citizens is now being made and it is absolutely necessary that this payment be made promptly. The work and worry together with share of the financial burden of mainten- ance of the team is being borne by a few enthusiasts who ask nothing more than the loyal support of the town.

How They Stand.

Pine Bluff crossed bats yesterday with the tail enders and lost five to four. Walters and Lewis put the bend- CTS over for the Pine Knots and yield ed only three hits, while Pine Blum hammered Hoeschelle for ten safe ones and yet failed to win. It was case of dumb base running and bunch ed hits by Brinkley. One hundred and seventy points now separate me BIun from the top round of the percentage column and to be in sight of it at the close of the season there must be brace up. Hit the ball has been the slogan the past month and there has hoor hating rally lately but the team work has deteriorated.

This is the Way it Was.

The Tribune attempted last week
to explain statements alleged to have
been made by three prospective set
tiers from Wisconsin, G. D. Day, G.
Otto, and s. Trowbridge, to the eff
feet that a member of the Water
Users Association had told them
while in Nampa that the dam was
likely to break and flood the lower
Deer Flat region.
Now, the facts are these: A man
in Nampa, a Mr.. Naming, said In
general conversation, that he was
stranger here the same as the Wis
consin men, but he judged that con
ditions here might be the same as II
Utah where he came from. There
was a large reservoir there and In
few years the seepage OF the waite
brought alkali to the surface OF tn
land surrounding the reservoir. Thi
Is the whole story and 1t was repeats
In Caldwell. A Tribune man VIII
happened to know that Mr.. Wallin
had shown these men around Nampf
attributed the remarks to him an
added that Nampa men had told tbs
the dam was likely to break; an
then he went to work and wrote
ND. working in his own remarks
part of the story.

contention of local optionists is that
a prohibition law will be ignored In
some localities. The same may be
said of any law that ever was or ever
will be passed by any legislature or
Congress. To argue that because
this is true, that We should pass no
laws against crime, is too ridiculous
to seriously consider. Moonshining,
prostitution, gambling, and even
horse stealing are carried on in some
localities. Does Citizen advocate the
repeal of law against such crimes?

for the selection of delegates to at

at Wallace and Twin Falls, and also
to select the time and place for the

Chairman Smell called the meeting TO

coarse hand writing. The chairman
ordered the roll called. but there was
so many proxies present that the
Chairman looked like he wished he
had passed tbs order, but owing TO
the strained conditions which were
plainly observed, the char felt that
It was best to be as lenient as posi-
BILE and not get discouraged. Inc
first question that came before the
organization was how many county
conventions should be held? The Du-
| bois faction, consisting Of two mem
bers of the committee favored hold
ing three primaries, while the aat's
desired to hold but two. Tho latter
faction won hands down. as they die
on every motion except one to ad

City Council.

The city council held a special SEES
sion Thursday night for the purpose
of considering bids for putting water
on the cemetery. Three bids were
opened-one by the Caldwell For
warding Co. for $2005. and one by
the Caldwell Forwarding Co. and the
Idaho Electric Co., for $2270; and
one by the Idaho Implement Co. for
$2143. A committee of ladies repre-
senting the Forward Club was pres
ent and took some part in the dis
cussion, but owing to the diversified
opinion of the council no decision
was arrived at and the matter wa'
passed until next Thursday night
The proposition for connecting direc
with the revervoir was the schem
most favored by the ladies'. One o
whom stated that more money coul'
be realised by general subscription TO
that plan than for either of the othe
propositions, as those subscribin

want that. Many of our laws are
now held in too light esteem; as for
example, the law against gambling
and prostitution. 4
Any enactment that will weaken
us, as a people, at a point already
weak, will be little short of a dis
aster. 1t must be conceded that local
option will bring prohibition to every
community where there is a majority
in favor of it; and in every other
community it would be loosely en-
forced or not enforced at al.
In our system of government tive
must be a strong public sentiment
behind a law to enforce it, for we
have to depend upon juries to secure
convictions and the juries must be
drawn from the local community AL
tho women vote in Idaho, they do not
sit on jury, so they will be no more
available in the enforcement of law
here than they have been in other
states.
Let us have prohibition in as much
of the state as possible and continue
to control the traffic in other parts as
best we can; but for the sake of or

From California.

7. B. Gowen received word from
Mr.. Arthur Neville of Dolgeville, CAL,
that he will leave there the 27th for
Caldwell. Mr.. Neville is bringing a
car of standard bred trotters, and
also his stallion, Bots dare, one OF
the best bred horses on the Pacific
Coast. The introduction of these
horses in Canyon County is OF
more than ordinary interest to the
stock interests of this part of the
State. Canyon County excells In
heavy draft horses and now to have
the trotter introduced will make the
County noted not only for draft but
also for roadsters. Mr.. Neville has
authorized the fair directors to offer
500 for futurity stakes for colts
one, two, and three years old from
this horse.
Mr.. Neville is not ony an enthusiast
tic horseman, but he is fine vioin-
list, as the following extract from his
home paper amply verifies:
Edward Baxter Perry, the blind
pianist, assisted by Mr.. Arthur Ne
Vile and Miss Ruth Ayers, of this
city, delighted select and cultured
audience at Grand Opera House last
evening. Mr.. Perry is indeed an ar
fist. His analysis and descriptions
were clothed in choicest rhetoric
which attracted the attention OF tn
entire audience-now by the beaut!
and skill of his playing, and agail
by the beautiful imagery of his Ian
guage.
Miss Ayers proved to be vocalis
of the highest order, and her selec
tions were beautifully rendered. MI
Neville is as fine violinist as eve
appeared on the local stage, and NJ
superb rendition of the Faust Fai
TASTE by vieuxtemps, proved him
be a master of violin technique. A
together it was a vary enjoyable Ell
tertainment."
