CHAPTER XvI.-(Continued
"Have you ever known OF a case where
a man was forced to commit an act
against his inclinatlon?
Certainly; but / have never known
of its going to the length of a murder"
Nor l, / must confess, though that
does not prove that this was not just
such a case--though | don't believe it
was. But you will admit perhaps that
one persons hold upon another may be
strong enough to compel him to enter a
house for the purpose of stealing
paper"
Certainly It might; and you would
contend, presume, that this person hav-
ing so entered the chateau, was compell-
ed to violence to escape the consequences
of detectionT
Exactly" replied Cassagne. Now the
question Is, not who is the accomplish,
but who Is the principal? The principal
Is the party primarily interested, and he
forces the accomplish to obey. The &C
complete, the mere tool, we cannot hope
to find first as we have no clue to him.
But we may reason as to who his prn-
cipal is and so we may find them both.
The accomplish will be found when the
principal Is brought to light"
Go on" again said D'Auburon, as the
detective paused.

But it seeing to me that he cannot
be far off,"
VERY likely. He may be right under
our noses, and we not able to discover it.
But our opportunities for Investigation
are not yet exhausted by any means.
There are two people who may be said
to be interested parties, sufficiently inter-
ested to be instigators of the crime and
both must be found, if possible"
And they are2"

"Whom will you look for frst?"
'SThe son-for reasons too many to
enumerate."
where will you search for him?"
"In Paris"
"Why in Parish"
Because the priest told me the woman
who brought him up went to Paris be-
sides he was wild young fellow, and
all wild young fellows come to Paris
eventually. 1t is simply a question of
time"

Water at HOIliSter.

Water has been struck in the well
drilled on the Hollister townsite at a
depth of 674 feet After the lava md
been passed, the drill struck a dense
sedimentary formation which seemed
to be the bottom of an ancient stream
or lake bed. This formation gradually
grew coarser until strata Of gravel
was reached in which the water was
found No attempt was made to go
down very far in the gravel as the
water rose quickly to height Of 27
feet in the hole. which is deemed sufii-
cient for the present.

Three Governors From Kansas.

In addition to our own governor,
Kansas furnishes two for other states
Brady of Idaho and Hadley of Missouri.
Herb Hadley used to run barefoot about
the little town of DeSotO, johnson
county. His father lives there yet.
Brady, who is a brother of Senator
Brady of Lawrence, started in life in
Kansas and mighty poor kind of a
start it looked at that time.
The other day we were talking with
a man who used to know Brady well.
Brady was so poor that Jobs proven
bal turkey would have looked like a
picture of affluence in comparison. The
Kansas man recalled the time when
young Brady managed somehow or
other to get together mighty poor
scrub team and broke prairie to pay his
grocery bills Then he located in Abb
lene and made some money and lost it
again. Afterwards no moved out to
Boise City and seems to have struck it
rich both politically and financially and
now is about to take his seat as govern
or of the state of Idaho Mail and

FAITH IN DRY FARMING
Settlers near RichfieId Believe In
Dry Farming for this County :

Duet johnson, of Richfeld, is firm
believer in dry land farming for this
section of the state. He and his sons
and brothers-in-law own 10 Carey Act
claims on the Richfeld tract, they hav-
ing come here from Spanish Fork, Utah,
at the time of the opening year ago
last May, and filed on their land. But
they see something else besides irriga-
tion as the salvation of Southern Idaho.
Mr.. johnson and others of the party
have filed on homesteads on the Marley
Butte. northwest of Richheld, above
the canal line. and adjoining their Carey
Act holdings. On these homesteads
they have been starting to do dry farm
ing This fall they have between 100
and l6O acres of fall wheat, which is
doing finely almost as well, from APP
pearances, as irrigated lands. They
have total holding of 25OO acres of
land. Carey Act and homestead, and
plan to utilize almost all of it for farm
imp fllrposes. They believe that farm
ing. fruit growing. and pasturing will
be very successful on the dry lands,
and that they have the making OF one
of the greateat farms in the west.

KooIerower's Association
Meeting on January
"a, IS and 10
1t is Quite Probable that the At
tendance will Reach 1000
Interest in Warehouse

President Fred. W. Gooding of the
National Woolgrowers Association is
extremely busy these days, getting
ready for the annual meeting of the
Association, at Pocatello, January
ID to l6.
1t was expected that there would be
perhaps 1000 attendants at the conven-
ton; but later advices point to an at
tendance of hardly less than 1900. This
will tax the accommodations of Poca
tello to the utmost, and it is hardly to
be doubted that to care for all these
guests it will be necessary to send
some of them to nearby towns for
accommodations.
Secretary Walker, of Cheyenne, who
was here in Shoshone few weeks ago,
is working with President Gooding to
secure sufficient wool contracts to make
feasible the establishment of the great
central warehouse and bank in Chicago
Most of the wool of the west has been
sold by the individual grower, and has
gone to Boston buyers, who have made
of Boston the greatest wool market in
the United States. 1t has been believed
by the woolgrowers that if they could
act as a unit in the sale of their wool,
and cut out the middlemen by selling
to the manufactures, they could get
considerably better and more uniform
price for themselves. To this end, the
Chicago warehouse is to be built.
Enough wool will have to be pledged in
advance to guarantee that the ware
house will be filled; and the subscribers
are to subscribe to the capital stock of
the operating company, enough to
start the institution. 1t is believed to
be absolutely certain that the stock
will pay a good return, and that the
sheepmen will receive a noticeable adj
vance in the price of their product as
well.
The Pocatello meeting promises to be
one of the most important in the history
of the association. The warehouse
plan. and determined fight against
the hostility of the forest reserve off
cias, promise to be the most important
topics.

SAGE BRUSH TONIC A SELLER
Frank Wilmington Returns From
Another Successful Trip

Sage Brush Hair Tonic is becoming
known all through the northwest.
through the efforts of Frank Whiting
ton and the other agents who have
been out on the road. Wilmington re-
turned this week from Tacoma, Seattle
and other places in Washington, where
the buying public fairly fell over itself
in getting hold of the great new Indian
remedy. The company now has on file
in the factory, orders aggrigating a
very large sum. One dealer bought
$500. 90 worth, and others have come SO
close to that sum that you could hardly
tell the difference. 1t is proving to be
the popular success of the year.
The factory is being swamped VITA
orders, and it will be weeks or months
before it can catch up, even if no
further orders were to come in.

KEEPING BUSY AT RICHFIELD
Plans for Water Works and Lights,
Working on Various Buildings

Heavy snow has interfered consider
ably with the brick and other construc-
ton work at Richfeld (Alberta) but
still the town is bearing every evidence
of prosperity.
A force of masons were put to work
on the venering of the J. G. White &
Co. office building the last few days of
last week. They succeeded in making
fine start before the snow caught
them. It is hoped that the Office can
be ready for occupancy within few
weeks. The upper floor will be used
by the various departments of the con-
struction company, with as comfortable
and convenient quarters as could be
planned anywhere The land sales de-
partment of the Idaho Irrigation com
pany may occupy at least part of the
lower floor
The new bank building is one of the
surprises for a town in the present
stage of development. 1t is made of
the celebrated Ieaho Falls sand-lime
brick, is to be two stories in height,
and would be credit to any town. The
bankers hope to have it ready for oc-
cupancy at least by January.
Plans are being laid for the water
works and electric lighting and power
plant, to be installed this winter. The
Little Wood River tumbles over sue
cession of rocky reefs just below town
40 feet or thereabouts with avery short
canal. 1t is estimated that 300 horse
power can easily be developed. This
will be sufficient for lights and power,
and for pumping the water for the
water system. Plans have already been
approved for the water system, which
will be laid with S-inch mains, and a
ll0-foot steel tower containing $4,000
gallons of water The old company put
down an excellent well, which can be
used to supply the town.
E. w. Hanna, of the sales depart
ment of tho Idaho Irrigation Company,
has about completed one of the neatest
and most comfortable little bungalows
one could wish for 1t viii be a model
for every home-seeker who visits the
genial host and his estimable wife.
The Weeter Lumber Company, sue
cessor to the old Alberta company, has
a large stock of lumber-one of the
largest in the county-and one of the
best protected by sheds and buildings.
With the coming of spring, when water
is to be furnished all the farmers on the
Alberta tract, it IS expected that there
will be great demand for lumber.

No Let-up in Work on

mits the Work to be Carried
Forward Very Rapidly

J. w. Slick, Of the Slick Construction
company, was in town this morning. on
his way up TO Richfield on business. He
reports that they have 300 men at work
on the King Hill project, and they are
going to have at least 100 more within
the next two weeks. There has been
no snow down there. the weather being
almost as good as summer for carrying
on their construction work They ex-
pect to have all the canals completed
to water the entire tract by the first of
April There has been some talk of in
creasing the acreage of the project.
and taking in some of the land that they
had at one time decided could not be
irrigated with profit. The plans have
not yet been fully developed, however,
so no announcement can be made
As water will be delivered to all of
the King Hill tract next spring, there
will be large number of settlers NOV
ing in this winter and spring, ready to
take advantage of the first possible
crop. A large area is expected to be
put into trees, as this is fruit land. and
the saving of one year in time is very
impOrtant.

Mrs Cora NJ Vedder and family,

and is located in Trails building on

From the large consignments of tur-

that are being bought by the Jerome

engineering and construction camps it
is evident that Thanksgiving day was
properly observed.
James Turner, c. CLANCY and R Cha
ney, all from Bellevue, Idaho, arrived
in town Monday and have formed CO.
partnership in contracting and building.
Before twenty-four hours had elapsed
they had contracts that will keep them
busy for month. These are the kind
of hustlers that Jerome likes to well
come. Mr.. Turner is also a painter
aud ali orders for any kind of building
will be promptly attended to.
Jerome residents looked out Tuesday

Some might think from the reference
in this column few weeks ago to the
pioneer life of the North Side that this
was no place for the man of moderate
means. On the contrary we know of
several instances of men who came here
last summer with families but with lit
tie or no capital. They lived in tents
comfortably. found work, and since
wages run from 50 50 to So day, they
saved money. Today they live in COM
