Have Organized
ard ask Legislature to Petition Congress
---PooI Their Interest.

To southern residents OF Idaho it
would hardly seem possible that grain
sacks would be OF great Importance to a
large number of the citizens within the
borIers OF the state, bat such seems to
be he Gaze, for in the northern section
the cost Of grain sack plaves very
important part with the profits derived
from the years crop. The tenth legisa-
ture is to be asked, before the session
ends, to assist farmers Of this state to
obtain a reduction on the tariff on
sacks and to further legislate and pro-
tect farmers from unjust grain sack
combination.
1t is understood that Senator Good
night Of Nez Perce county will take the
initiative in the securing of the needed
legislation. Being a farmer the toga
wearer from tho In lisn county. is al
ways on hand to take care OF the farm
ers' interests and will do so in every
possible manner. Already he had
launched bill which has for its object
the making of state farm loans to farm
ers, thus giving them the very best of
protection, and il passed the act will
bring relief to many. The state land
board is given the power to apportion
the state money for louns to the 20
counties.

In ordes to protect themselves in the
purchase Of grain sacks the farmers Of
the panhandle section, many Of whom
are numbered among the biggest wheat
growers in the northwest, created a
grain sack pool and worked co-operat-
lively last year in the purchase Of grain
sacks. The crops were likewis pooled
and the numerous farmers union are
now ready to wager war with the grain
buyers by erecting and installing large
warehouses at tidewatrr points to which
.eir grain can be shipped and stored,

A VIOLET DINNER PARTY
 GIVEN BY MIR. AND MRS. PERCY

MT. and Mrs. Walker Percy's dinner last evening for Judge and Mrs. Gary was the climax of & day of brilliant hos pitalities for Birninghams distinguished guests. Always an artistic hostess Mrs Percy achieved another triumph in the beauty of her dinner table and it's ap- pointments as well as the grace of her welcome, and MT. Percy, who is regard ed as the most accomplished of hosts, was last evening at his best.
 Mrs. Percy received her guests gowned for the evening in an evening costume of maize tint, in which she is lovely. The dinner was served at o'clock. The table around which MT. and Mrs. Percy and their friends gathered was a circular one of enormous size. The colors fol- lowed throughout were exquisite shades of violet and blue, effected in the rarest type of parma violets. In the center of the table was huge basket filled to over flowing with these delicately shaded blos- soms. the heavy heads of the many-pet- alled flowers drawing the slender stems of some far down the outer sides of the picturesquely shaped basket. Overhead hung a huge blue shade hung with chif- fons and reflecting pale, exquisite light over all. The large basket rested on mirror which reflected its loveliness Sur rounding this were a number of tiny bas- kets filled with the Iolets and caught with gauge drapery which showed the blue and lavendar flowers peepins out among its folds. Scattered over the table were larger baskets of violets.
 The places were marked by broad, light blue satin ribbon, on which were painted sprays of violets. These inclosed the dinner napkins.
 A charming feature of the affair was the rendition of several songs by Mrs. Arthur Gray, whose charming voice was heard for the first time by her friends during her visit. Mrs. Gray played her own accompaniments. this adding to the pretty informality of MT. and Mrs. Percy's hospitality.
 The party included the host and hostess and the honored guests were MT. and Mrs Percy, Judge and Mrs. Gary, MT. and Mrs. Edward Ware Barrett, Mir and Mrs. W. P. c. Harding, MT. and Mrs. Webb Crawford, MT. and Mrs. Frank H. Crockard, MT. and Mrs. w. H. Kettig. MT. and Mrs. Henry l.. Badham, MT. George Gordon Crawford and Mrs. Arthur Gray of Sewanee, Tenn.

ATLANTA PRISON
 IS CONDEMNED

Atlanta December 17.-Superintenden D. M. yining and Guard P cornet were indicted today. and conditions at the city prison. known as the "stockade." were pronounced "inhuman. incredible and vile" by the grand jury which has been Investigating the jail. The grand jury recommends a clean sweep of the office force and the immediate establishment of conditions fit for human beings. The report states that the jurors who inspect ed the stockade found the stench so foul that the members were forced to wrap handkerchiefs around their faces to en- dure the trip and that some of them were made sick by the vile odors. The report concluded by stating that the stables in which the mules were kept were much more habitable than the prison.
 In the negro quarters were found nearly 200 prisoners. shackled so that they could neither bathe nor change clothes, the room had not single ventilation, the sick were unattended, and there were no sani- tary arrangements. One prisoner i'll with typhoid. was left on a filthy blanket. Another with gunshot wound in the breast had for a covering next to the wound shirt that was so dirty that the committee did not see how he could es- cape infection. The women's quarters, even those for white women, convicted of trivial offenses, were no better, and the jurors said they had reason to believe that shackles had been taken of the women because the officials learned of the in- tended visit of the induisitors. The bar barous modes of punishment, including leaden riveted straps, rings in the walls to which prisoners were suspended for as long as 70 minutes in succession, and whipping chairs. were roundly denounced as inhuman. The report says that all this is the more inhuman because the prisoners are sent to the stockade because they are unable to pay a money fine for misdemeanors
