TO HONOR CLEVE-/
LANDS DEATH

Denver, July AFTER meeting
and perfecting temporary organiza-
tion next Tuesday the national
convention will adjourn for the day
out of respect to the memory of
President Cleveland, if present
plans of the committee are carried
into effect. The question has been
recently discussed the expression
generally favors this course. 1t is
believed adjournment can be taken
in this way without interfering
with the progress of proceedings of
the convention and at the same
time enable the convention to pay a
proper degree of respect for an ex-
president. The progr arm looks to
completion of the work of the con-
vention within three days.
No arrivals of political impor-
tance we're reg gistercd early today
Not a single delegation as yet has
put in an appearance and individl a,
delegates are almost as scarsc as
delegations. Big crowds are schc-
duled to come i'll Sunday and Mon
day.

MOUNTAIN HOME, IDAHO. JULY 2. 1908.
Warden Whitney

Imprisonment. Warden Whitney
had advocated giving Orchapd n
sentence OF 25 years. ORCHARD Mad
never asked for this, but ipstedd has
i"sisted that the death /pc6altv be
carried out. Speaki1Y with the
warden after the latter had told
him of the pardon boards action,
with regard to shorter sentence,
Oichard said that, although he had
never expected short term, if there
had been any prospect of his get
ting one, it had vanished with the
decision of the pardon board ycster-
day. Orchard believes no succeed
ing board will ever take up his
case, and since he feels that his life
should pay the the penalty of his
crimes and would rather this should
be than to be a prisoner for life, he
told Warden Whitney that the ac-
tion of the pardon board was not
pleasing to HIM.
Orchard wss to tavc been hanged
this morning and all preparations
had been made for the execution.
The scaffold on which several muir
ders have p yed the penalty of their
crimes the last several years is al
ways standing. 1t is near the lit
tie dark cell used for the punish
men of unruly prisoners just inside
the prison walls on the east end.
Warden Whitney stated he, had
prepared the ropes and made all
other necessary preparations for the
exeodtion this morning. v

CORNER STONE OF

Interesting Documents Placed In the Wall

ducts Ceremonies.

Last Tuesday night, June 10th
the corner stone for the new Carn-
cgic library was laid. About three
hundred citizens were present to
witness this important event and
the ceremonies as conducted by the
village board went off without a
hitch and proved interesting to the
large crowd present.
The Mountain Home band was
present and opened the cxcr >iscs
with two selections after which l..
]. Weaver, president of the village
council, in a few we'll chosen re-
marks, made the opening address of
the evening. He gave short his
tory of the clubs of the city and also
events that lead to the possibility
'of the present beautiful building
under process of construction. His
remarks were very interesting as
they, had to do with the progress
of the Womcn's clubs in the city
that have of late attracted so much
attention because of the excellent
work they are doing in municipal

who gave very thoughtful ad-s
dress along the lines of benefits de-
rived from a public library, and
its value to a city.
After the close of his addre SIS
Mr. Weaver placed the box contain.
ing the above mentioned documents
in the corner stone where they
would be tightly sealed and &C.

perhaps the driest season ever
known in the Snake river desert.
1t is an absolute fact that the pre-
cipitation from the lst of February
or even back 10 the middle OF Jam
uary for that matter, TO the 1st of
June, was less than l inch IN
Mountain Home AMI vicinity.
The high winds and warm wealth
er melted the snow in the noun
tains with practically 10 results
SO far as filling the reservoirs was
concerned. The city reservoir was
no more than one fifth-full and the
Long Tom reservoir no more than
half full at best. These are try
ing circumstances to overcome and
the people who are depending upon
the company to supply them with
water must bear this dry season in
consideration and realize that the
company cannot provide water if
there is none in the country. ] he
Camas Prairie reservoir holds 16,
400 acre feet of water and it is
now full. If nothing unforeseen oc-
ours to the canal the people will
have plenty of water from now on.
1t will be a few days before this
canal can be crowded, but in the
meanwhile, what water is stored
in the Mountain Home and Long
Tom reservoirs will be given to the
gardens and lawns and, within a
week, it is hoped the farmers will
have plenty of water for alfalfa
and other crops.

AIDS cHIcoRY INDUSTRY.
United States Government Seeks to ln- terest Farmers in It's Cultivation.

An increasing demand for chieory as a coffee addition has caused the United States Government to make a special eff fort to induce American farmers to grow the plant tSee Bulletin 19 l.. $. Depart ment of AgricultureD
 Chicory is a root grown something like the beet or carrot, and las been used food in various ways for centuries.
 More than hundred years ago during the Napoleonic wars, the continent of Eu- rope was cut off from the outside world, and coffee. of which the Dutch in particu- lar are very fond, became scarce and high in price.
 It was found that the chicory root, dried, roasted and ground, made most excellent substitute. Soon many were drinking it entirely. while others mixed it with certain proportion of genuine coffee.
 These people found that it gave the coffee a richer. fuller flavor, and that the injurious effects which pure coffee has on many were entirely overcome.
 Since then ehicory has been extensively used by coffee merchants, and the prep aration of it as an addition 10 coffee has become large business, giving em- ployment to thousands of men. Many large factories in Europe and several in America are manufacturing thousands of tens annually.
 Being as necessary an addition to cof fee, as salt is to soup. ChiCOry has come Into great demand. and to supply this de- mand the government is interesting itself. It promises an entirely new and profit able field of endeavor for the American farmer
