JOHN Z. BACKS says como 10 luan0
Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Joers, two OF
the star performers at the Orpheum
this week, are in receipt of the
South Bend, Ind, Times containing
an interview with John F. Sacks
in which that former Idaho man
tells of the opportunities for making
money in Idaho and who advises
"every man who can, to 90 to Idaho
as quick as the train will take
him." The article is as follows:
John F. Sacks, formerly of Deca-
tor, Ind, but since 1897 resident
of Boise, Ida, is visiting his old
home, having with him a fortune
that will enable him to spend the
remainder of his days in the most
expensive city of the country,
Washington, d. c., where be in
tends to make his home.
Mr.. Sacks holds that Idaho is the
place to make money. In the dozen
years he lived there be made more
money than in the rest of his life
and made it easier. He has several
sons, sll of whom are still 10 Idaho
and who are prosperous. When
Mr.. Sack arrived thsre he had but
little money. He bought a small
tract of land for $3.50, which is to-
day worth 5000. He says that 10
acres is about all man can farm
there, and that will make as much
money as a good big farm will in
this part of the country. He says
it is very common thing to raise
Is ton of hay off ten-aore tract,
cutting it four times in one year.
Besides this, there are the o2portu-
mites In mining and and other in
dustries, and the constant change
of property gives one a chance to
deal safely aud at profit. He
advises every young man who can
to go to Idaho as quick as the train
will take him.-Capital News.

BROKER BROWN MUST
ANSWER IN HIGH COURT
tOont,nued from PAGE one,

of the Logan & Bryan firm, testified
that Brown has had no dealings with
his firm since January l, 1908.
Detective A. Boyd, who prought
Brown to Los Angeles after his arrest
in Oakland, testified to a conversation
he had with the defendant shortly after
the arrest.
Brown told me-" said Boyd" that
he was a fiend for playing the market
on margins and that he had lost all
his mony that way. He said that II he
had invested DR.. Hammond's money
as she had instructed him to do he
would have made a big sum of money
for her and also cleared a handsome
commission for himself. He inquired
what the charge against him was and
requested that he be permitted to see
DR.. Hammond as soon as he could.
Brown stated that the fluctuation or
the market was such that he got in too
deep and could not protect his invest
ments and lost out"
Attorney Pearson endeaVored to
show that Brown had transacted BUSH
ness with Logan & Bryan, but Body
stated that Brown said he could not
do business with that concern because
he ran bucket shop and was not ION
the square"
Joseph Rittigstein, jeweler who
cashed worthless checks for Brown to
the amount of $4,000, proved a willing
witness and every reply he made con-
tanned sarcastic references to Brown.

Shoot

Members of the balloon squad of
company A signal corps of the ma
tional guard are looking for the return
of cards sent off in small pilot bal
looms recently from Hollywood and the
San Fernando valley. Twenty rubber
balloons were sent up, each with a
message asking that the finder advise
the squad Of the place where it
dropped and the date on which it was
found.
Private w. A. Hall, aeronautical in
structor of the squad, released the
balloons, starting on horseback from
the Hollywood hotel and sending them
off at intervals through the Cahuenga
pass and up the San Fernando valley.
At the start at o'clock in the morn
ing the air currents carried the bal
looms northward and the record kept
shows they drifted in nearly every
other direction at different times. A
curious variation of the wind in the
Cahuenga pass was noted.
The signal corps balloon squad in
tends to make other experiments in the
mountains and at different points in
Los Angeles county this summer to
study the air currents. Mr.. Hall has
in preparation a plan for an aerial map
which will greatly aid the members
of the squad.

hold its monthly shoot all day tomor-
