It suited the mates convenience excellently, for ne was man of social habits, and he had at last succeeded in interesting Miss Mime Davis in his movements. She was the daughter of the Burdock's owner and Arthur Prices cousin m some remote degree, a plump, clean, clever Welsh girl, of quick intelligence and pleasant good nature. He tall young man, lit Women said of him that he looked every inch a sailor;" matrons who watched his progress with Minnie Davis considered that they would make a handsome couple. Captain Price, for all his watchfulness, saw nothing of the affair. Minnie tell into way of driving down to see the Burdock off. It was thus that Captain Price learned how matters stood. All was clear for start and the lock waiting; Arthur Price in the goldlaced cap he used as due to his rank, was standing by to cast off, The Captain went forthwith to the bridge Minnie on the dockhead could see his black shore-hat the weather cloths and his white collar of cere mony.

To Aid the Paper

Every newspaper wants to pub
lish the news. The better the paper
the more prosperous it will be.
Local news items are especially
hard to run down, How many times
have you, reader, been approached
by the writer for an item of news
and you told him that you "knew
nothing" Probably at the time
your family were away on visit
or some one from out of town was
visiting al your home. OF course
you didn't mean to deceive the
scribe, yet when you received
your paper you wondered why
your family or friends were not
mentioned. A good way to eavoid
all this is to kindly inform US O.
the facts, drop us a note in the post
office to the paper. The one item
may not amount to mnch, but sew
eral columns of such news is the

IDAHO RESOURCES
Gov. Brady Thinks Revenues of the
State Should be Used by
The State.

revenues paid to the national gov
ermeut. Within a very few years
when our state is properly developed
this revenue is going to amount to
half million to million dollars
year; revenue that will be paid
to the national government by
taxation on Idaho's resources.
STATE SHOULD GET SOLE BENEFIT.
THE claim is made that it is not
fair that simply because our state
happens to be blessed with these
products that it should be made to
pay revenue therefrDm into the
national government. We have in
this state about 100000 acres of
forest reserve. In Kansas and Ne
braska the great amount of lands
on which there are no forest reser-
YES have been improved as farms,
producing annually for taxation
purposes for the benefit of those
states, thousands upon thousands
of dollars and the people claim
that it is unfair that simply be-
cause we have forests instead Of
farm lands that we should be COM
PEELED to pay tribute in this man
ner, but that the revenues from our
forests, our cold mines, our water
powers and our phosphate beds,
should be used solely for the bene-
fit of the state in which this reven-
ne is produced. 1t seems to me
that these claims are we'll founded
and in discussing the conservation
of our resources the material inter
ests OF our state should always be
formost in the minds of our people

Boise, October 4.--Capital-N News.
Much pleased with the trip with
President Taft through Montana
and Idaho, and we'll satisfied with
the reception rendered the presi-
deut by Idaho people, Governor
James H. Brady has returned from
northern Idaho, thus completing
the last lap of trip Of 1850 miles
which has been made in just a
weeks time, the cheif executive
leaving Boise Friday evening OF
last week.
II had very pleasant trip" de-
clared Governor Brady when seen
today. GAIL the speeches delivered
by President Taft were extempor-
aneous except the address at Spo-
kane. That was dictated by the
president after 1:30 o'clock Mon
day night. He fully discussed the
different subjects contained in his
address with Secretary Ballinger,
who was on the car with us and
the president seemed remarkably
familiar with all subjects. The
address at Spokane was we'll re-
ceived, but the people With whom
| talked afterwards in northern
Idaho seemed to be of the opinion
that if we are to receive revenue
from the different natural resources
of onr state the proceeds of some
should be used for the benefit oil
the national government.
"As an illustration, the proceeds
from the sale of lumber in the for
est reserve is divided giving the
government three-fourths- and the
ptate one fourth. During the last
year our state paid the national
government over $4,000 from
this source alone. The policy, as
present outlined means that this
same tribute shall be paid to the
national government, first from the
forest reserve; second from the
revenue from the water power
third, from the revenue from the
coal that is mined in this state and
fourth from the products of tht
immense phosphate beds situated
in the southern part of our state
In other words the four Creates
producing assets of our state out
side of agricultural and quartz anc
placer mining are named as thu

Opening and Public Sale OF State

Glenns Ferry Idaho. News reach
ell here Monday that the State Land
Board had set November 10th for
the opening and public sale of
the lands included in the project of
the Kings Hill Extension Irriga-

supreme Court Receives Application
for Rekea ring.
washington, June 30.--Of the petit
lions for rehearing in the Chattanooga
cases only those OF Sheriff Joseph r.
6hipp and his deputy jaiier. Jeremiah
Robinson, and Luther Williams. had
been received In the off1ces OF the Clerk
OF the Supreme Court today.
The petition on behalf of Shipp and
Gibson Is a formal statement. but In
the case of Williams there Is an ex-
haustive analysis of the testimony.
1t Is pointed out that the nearest
approach to positive statement that
Williams had participated in the lynch
ing of johnson Is found In the testi-
mony given by Magistrate Ware of
Chattanooga who stated that he had
seen man who ne thought was Will
liams fire at Johnson.
Mr.. Ware is quoted as saying that
he would not himself convict a man
on his testimony.
In the cases Of Shipp and Gibson, II
Is commended that most Of the testi-
mony on which they were convicted
consisted Of newspaper articles which
under the rule excluding circumstan-
ial evidence should have been stricken
out as hearsay.
Earnest plea Is made in all the cases
for their reopening in the hope Of OBJ
tanning reversal OF the courts YER
