has never deceived them, most
sterling quality in a public man.
He has been trusted with the man
agement OF great political party,
and he has never betrayed or dis
honored that trust. Instead, he
has brought honor and prestige and
success to its ranks, and admin
stored the healing balm until now
1t is one united whole, ready for
one of the grandest and most pro
nounced campaigns it has ever
waged in this state, the outcome Of
which is already assured.
Another reason for the popularity
of Mr.. Brady with the people, is The
tact that he is public spirited
man, and has shown great faith in
the possibilities of Idaho by ex-
pending vast sum of money for
the development of her great re-
sources. He has harnessed the
waters of the turbulent Snake and
given power to our growing manu-
facturies and light to our homes
He has diverted the water from
our rivers and carried them onto
our arid westes, making the wilder
ness blossom as the rose, and glad
dening the heart of the husband
man.
In all his enterprises he has been
signally successful, and that is suf-
hcient guarantee to the intelligent
people of Idaho that he will be as
successful in administering upon
the important matters that pertain
to the growth. development, securi-
ty and good government of our
state.
The Standard looks to see the
ticket headed by James H. Brady,
the Republican standard bearer,
win out at the election this fall with
increased maiorities. From all sec
lions Of the state this feeling seems
to be general. There is confusion
and dismay and contention and
hatred in the ranks Of the enemy,
and there is unity and harmony
and encouragementand strength
in the grand old party. The
coming convention at Wallace
will be a love feast for the Repub-
licans, from which they will go
with determination to do them
selves proud in the coming con-
fict.-Rexburg Standard.

INJUNCTION BARS
WORK ON Street
Macdonald Avenue Improvement
in Richmond EniOined by
Superior Court

RICHMOND, Sept. 19.-Restraining
orders served today on city officials and
the contractors, E. Miner & CO. of San
Francisco, have blocked, temporarily at
least. the commencing of work on the
$3.50, 600 Improvement of Macdonald
avenue, the main thoroughfare between
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe sta
tions, more than mile in length
Suit TO prevent the starting of work
Monday morning was filed today by
Mrs. Georgiana Ostrander of Palo Alto
owner of two lots in the avenue. This
injunction action is the eliminating
move in bitter controversy which has
been waged for months over the i'm
provement of the street.
In spite of strenuous opposition the
city trustees had gone forward with
the proceedings under the Vooman act
and had let the contract to the San
Francisco firm. The contractors had
filed their bond, which was approved,
and had arranged to begin operations
Monday morning The temporary in
junction issued from the superior court
at Martinez this morning was accompa-
MED by an order directing the contract
ors and city officials to appear and
show cause why 1t should not be made
permanent. II is said that interests
concerned in property in other sections
of the town arc behind the opposition
to the Macdonald avenue work
The principal ground set forth In the
Ostrander suit is the allegation that
the proposed assessment 10 cover the
cost of the work exceeds so per cent of
the assessed yalueCof the property and
is therefore invalid.

from being ground to death by an cleo
trio train last night. Miss Ryan was
returning to her home near the tracks

had prepared the evening meal for my
father, with whom she lives She said
she had not. I told her to go and do

IL she was late again through any
fault of hers she would have to get
her books. leave school and make her
own living. She became angry. told
me to keep my mouth shut and struck
at me. I then slapped and spanked
her, and when she began to scream

boy tell of the waywardness of the
daughter.

White a fatherly talk and caution
ing her against misbehavior in the fu-
ture, suspended sentence of her brother.
The girl promised the judge that she
would treat her father and brother
better hereafter, and the three depart
ed from the courtroom together.

mechanical engineering department. and
formerly dean OF the same department
At Cornell univeJ sity, as member Of
the commission of engineers, has had
immediate supervision over the details
of the new shops. In accordance with
the new system OF tuition in the me-
chsnicsl branches the shops are pro-
xided with spacious lecture rooms.
The shops also contain every known
sanitary device TO make agreeable the
labor in the heated confines of the
buildings.
The shops completed are the forge
and foundry, machine shop. pattern
and woodworking shop, materials test
ing laboratory. metallurgy laboratory,
together with the reconstruction of the
outer walls Of the auxiliary power sta
tion.
In the forge and foundry shops, where
the heat is excessive, shower baths and
lockers have been installed for the use
Of the students. The buildings are all
located Immediately south of the main
quadrangle of the university, and in
themselves form a secondary set of
buildings. The buildings are for othe
most part of reinforced concrete and
brick with tiled roofs and rough "peb-
bic dash" finish, although the machine
shop, power station and portion of
metaliurgy laboratory have outer walls

NEW FURNACE TO
SMELT IRON ORE
Stanford Professor Perfects a
Device Which May Prove of
Great Benefit
Insulated Apparatus Solves the
Problem of Preventing Ra-
diation of Heat

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 19.-
discovery in the process of reducing
iron ore which Dorsey A. Lyons of the
local metallurgy department has just
perfected. The new device is said to be
of such a nature that it will revolu-
tionize the mode of obtaining CONNER
eial castiron from the rough product
of the smelters. The essence of the
new Idea is that of preventing radia-
ton OF heat from an electric smelter.
Professor Lyons believes the new fur
mace is perfect and OF great CONNER
cial value.
In the first electric smelter the in
tense heat created. by the carrent made
1t almost impossible for workmen to
stay in the vicinity, and for this rea-
son was not of commercial value.
Lyons has completely overhauled the
plans of the inventor and has so in
sulated the apparatus that the leak
age of heat by radiation is almost MOTH
ing. Besides making it possible for
laborers to work in the vicinity the
invention results in saving of fuel.
The new process will prove of great
value in the development OF the iron
industry in this state. The production
u u uuc liOH has up 10 THIS time Deen
very little, due to the cost of obtaining
the metal from it's ores and the sub
sequent publication. At Heroult,
Shasta county, the original Lyons
smelter has been installed and is in
operation. The metal in the furnace
being subjected TO a heat of 1900 de-
grees centigrade, leaves the apparatus
In a comparatively pure state and is a
better commercial iron than that OBJ
tanned by the old and more expensive
process.
Lyons was aided in his investiga-
tions by c. F. Elwell, former Stanford
student and graduate of the electrical
engineering department.

DETERIORATION OF CRIMINALS

James CarnOn, who has been go
odd years chief warder of the Cation
prison, Edinburgh, In giving the Even
ing News of that city some of his ex-
periences, points out that gradually the
morale of the prisoner In the Calton
has sunk lower and lower, and though
there are far fewer dangerous char
acters among them IL only emphasizes
the fact that individuality is no longer
existent In the old days a prisoner
had personality; now he is one of a
crowd. Mr.. Carnon, thinks that there
is great deterioration in the criminal
class all along the line. There is not
a real thief in Edinburgh" he asserts.
Thieving is not now regarded as it once
was the ranks of the profession" be-
ing now open to all and sundry, the
ignorant, cringing mass forming the
great majority.
