H. B. Aven, proprietor of the Fair
store returned yesterday from New
York, Chicago, s.. Louis and ST.
Joseph. He was accompanied by his
two children who also went east with
him. They visited relatives in Mis-
souri, while Mr.. Aven proceeded east
to make his purchases of winter mer-
chandise. Mr. Aven makes two trips
east annually as he finds he can do
much better in buying, and thus keeps
in close touch with the styles. He
also gets valuable suggestions for the
conduct of his business. Except for the
intense heat, Mr.. Aven had a most en-
joyable and profitable trip. He made
large purchases and secured some bar
gains that will make his competitors
sit up and take notice and prove last
ing joy to the people Of Caldwell.

BRESHEARS after
man IN OGDEN

Sheriff Breshears left Tuesday for
Salt Lake for the purpose of pre-
senting to Governor Spry requisition
papers from Governor Brady of Ida
no. for the return of l. ]. Fortune,
wanted on warrant from the probate
court of Canyon county.
The charge against Fortune is a pc
culiar one, that complaint stating that
he unlawfully removed mortgaged
property from the jurisdiction of the
Canyon county court. The property
consisted Of a case of veterinary sur
gical instruments on which the Cen
trail Implement company is said to
have held a mortgage for $11S.
On July 1S, it is stated that Fortune
took these away. He was traced to
the Utah Hot Springs, Box Elder
county, and is now in Ogden where
he is lying at the point of death. In
formation given Sheriff Breshears by
the physicians in attendance, renders
1t doubtful II he will ever be taken
back to the Gem state.

ORCHARDS CON-
FESSION NO GO

After five years of litigation the San
Francisco Gas 4 Eelectrio Co, paid
Walter II. Linforth $1S,S09,O0 for
damages inflicted upon his property In
November 1904 The Gas company
held that the explosion causing the
damage was bomb, basing their con-
tentlon on Harry Orchards confession
that he had attempted to assassinate
Fred w. Bradley at San Francisco,
by blowing him up with dynamite.
The cause of the explosion was at
tributed to the defective gas fixtures.
A damage suit was instituted for
$10,S00,0O which was awarded. The
Gas Co., asked for a new trial, which
was denied. The settlement of the
damages is an admission that as far as
this case Is concerned Orchards con-
fession was a perjury.

MURPHY HAS
OPENING TUESDAY

To celebrate the opening of real
estate offices is something unusual,
but the A. L. Murphy Real Estate Co.,
are liable to do something unusual at
any moment. They did something un-
usual when they bought two automo-
biles. When they furnished their Of
flee like banks with oak furniture
and fixtures they went little out of
the ordinary And Tuesday evening
they invited the public to visit their
office, inspect their equipment, and
incidentally listen to pleasing music
by the Caldwell orchestra. A great
many people took advantage of the in
vitation to call at the office of the
firm. Everybody who attended the
opening is real glad they did so.
The A. L. Murphy Co., is firm of
real, live real estate dealers. The
firm is enterprising and energetic. 1t
has by far the finest real estate Of
fices in the state of Idaho.

BORAH FAVORS
SHORTER time

Senator w. E. Borah an interview
in the Capital News, says:
81 have advocated and still advo-
cate three-year residence on irri-
gated lands under the homestead law
instead of five as is now the case. l
do this because believe that the set
tier who resides on the land that
length of time has shown his good
faith and complied with all the re-
quirements laid down by the govern
ment. The government should treat
the homesteader in the same way as it
transacts its own business or as one
business man transacts business with
another. That is within the means OF
common sense and the homesteader
should not be made to do otherwise
I intend to advocate the three years
homestead law for ! thoroughly be-
lieve that is sufficient and will be g
great relief to those who are willing
to live upon the land"
People who understand conditions
will apprive of the Senator's position

of yours wrote you.
One Of the clippings is from the
Omaha World-Herald of Tuesday and
reads:
1.-TWO deaths and fifteen prostrat-
ions is the grim record of the deadly
effect of the heat in Omaha Monday,
while it was also a contributory cause
of number of deaths.
Commencing at IA degrees at 6 a. m.
the mercury rose to SO at o'clock
and gradually descended until by 8
o'clock at night it stood at SO. This
is the story told by the government in
struments, while those along the street
placed the heat at far less conserva-
tive figures. By o'clock the tenn
perature was still as high as "a, and
not until at night had it fallen as
low as 80. AS fact a number of the
prostrations occurred very late in the
afternoon.
Relief is promised by the govern
ment forecast of partly cloudy and
cooler weather today and fair and
cooler in the eastern part of the state
tomorrow.
Patrick Hughes, aged Sc years, was
found dead in bed Monday morning at
Mrs. Burns boarding house, Thirty
third and Q streets, South Omaha.
The physicians attribute his death to
heat.
Hughes was last seen Sunday even
ing, when he complained of a head
heat.
Hughes was laborer at the Cudahy
Packing company plant. The remains
were taken charge of by Coroner
Heafey.
Chris Herring, a middle aged man
was overcome by heat in his room at
the Metropolitan hotel, corner Twelfth
and Douglas streets, Sunday night.
He was taken to st. Joseph's hospital
early Monday morning and died just
as the hospital was reached.
Deaths due directly or indirectly to
the heat wave are so numerous that
the undertakers are confronted with a
serious problem. Holding so many
funerals during the hours of the day
when the suns rays are beating down
most directly is hard on both people
and horses.
Coroner Heafey is advocating a re-
turn to the plan of the extremely hot
summer of six years ago when so many
funerals as possible were held in the
early morning or late in the evening.
Other undertakers are working toward
the same end, although there is not
formal or concerted action. Within
the "a hours following Sunday noon
Heafey & Heafey had twelve cases,
coroner's and private.
The Omaha Daily News of same date
reports People overcome far into the
night, when clouds and rain bring re-
lief" Clippings from the Bee and
other Omaha papers state that the hot
wave extends over the entire south
west and reports dozens of deaths
and hundreds of prostrations,

YOUTHFUL COUPLE ELOPE
FROM HOMES At NAMPA

A youthful elopement occurred
from Nampa Saturday night when
Dick Bowman, the 13-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Bowman, and
Veda Lynde, the adopted daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Lynde, ran away
from home. They went from Nampa
to Boise. OF their stay in Boise the
Statesman says:
Clad in khaki uniforms and &C
courted as if for lengthy expedi-
ton, the girl and boy, tired and dusty,
arrived at the Capital City Tuesday
afternoon. That they intended to
make good their determination to
break loose from home ties and seek
new fields was evident when seen last
evening at the home of Mrs. A. Ban
croft at Ill South Thirteenth street.
Separate army canvases in which was
rolled up a couple of blankets, was
part of the accourtment and the girl
carried a loaded five-chambered re-
volver, while the boy carried double
barreled shot gun.
AS soon as it was known that they
had left their homes on Saturday
word was sent to Rev. o. P. Christian
and the wanderers taken to the Child
ren's home. Word was sent last night
to the chief of police of Nampa and
as soon as the parents or someone
from the Junction city arrives, they
will be taken home.
When taken to the institution in
this city, the runaways told how they
had left their homes on Saturday anC
intended to stay away. The little girl
bright little thing, said that hel
mother died some time ago and since
her death the children had been placed
in different families. Veda was yer!
emphatic in her statement that sh'
would not live with her foster parents
who are well-known in Nampa. Sh
said that her new parents were yer,
strict with her and she was desirou
of going out into the world and ear
her own living.
The boy was her playmate and i
is thought they planned the depar
ture well. No reason was given TO
the boys leaving, as he has a goot
home and last night said that he wa
going to write to his mother, TO
whom he expressed the greatest O
love.
They said that they made the tril
from Nampa by easy stages. Whel
night came they would seek a field
would lie dewn and sleep till morning
Those who saw them as they arrives
in this city, say that they were
strange couple and attracted grea
deal of attention. The girl appears t.
have planned the strange expedition
and when asked where she was goin,

The state board of equalization
seems to have it in for Canyon coun-
ty The board raised the assessed
value of land in Canyon county ten
per cent, making it $15.96 per acre.
The land last year was assessed at
$11.6O. The assessor this year in
creased it 80 per cent, making it $14.51
and now the state board increases it
to $15.96. At least 80 per cent of the
patented land in Canyon county is
either low lands or too high for the
present irrigation systems.

ALL But TWO SALOONS
MUST QUIT in NOVEMBER

If Canyon county goes dry at the
local option election next Wednesday,
every saloon in Caldwell will close it's
doors at midnight November 23rd of
this year. The local option law pro-
vides lin Section 8: eff majority of
the votes cast at an election held un-
der the provisions of this act shall be
in favor of the proposition so sub
mitted, then after 80 days from the
date of said election, all licenses for
the sale of intoxicating liquors grant
ed in the county after the passage of
this act, shall become void and be of
no force or validity, and the holder
thereof shall be liable for any sale of
liquors made by him the same as
though no such license had been issued
and there shall be refunded to him
of the amount paid for such license,
sum proportionate with the unex-
pired time for which the license fee
shall have been paid, out of the sever
al funds to which it has been appro-
priated."
The act was passed and approved
February 20, 1909.
Every saloon in Caldwell is operat-
ing under licenses granted since the
passage of the act, and every one
must close 80 days after the election,
provided, of course, the county goes

our correspondent and so will be very
careful to refrain from giving his

who he is, it is no fault of ours. We
may say that he is neither Hill nor

allied with either. The letter follows:

When taken to the Children's home
it was noticed that her hair was cut
off short. She told those in charge
that when she left Nampa the wind
kept blowing her hat off, so she took
pair of scissors that she carried and
cut off her locks.
1t is evident, those who have inter-
ested themselves in the case say,
that if they were not apprehended
that they would have kept on walking
through the state. They seemed to
feel that no one should bother them
and their ignorance of the fact that
they were doing anything out of the
way was remarkable.
The Nampa Record has the follow
ing account of the escapade:
Mrs. Bowman had been in Caldwell
Saturday and it was not until late at
night that there was a suspicion that
the children had left. Early Sunday
morning an effort was made to get
trace of the youngsters but without
avail. They had planned the elope-
ment withe great perfection. 1t is
certain that they went together be-
cause the boy had been sleeping on
the lawn and he had taken his bed and
all his clothes. The girl took none of
Ter clothing but it has been discover
ed that short distance from the
house she donned a suit belonging to
the boy and left her hat. Presumably
she is wearing one of the boys hats.
Otherwise not the slightest trace of
them can be found. They have evil
IDENTIFY travelled at night to make their
getaway. There is not the slightest
reason for either of the children 60
ing. They had splendid homes and
they had no trouble whatever with
the parents nor were either of them
hard to control. Dick is an unusual
ly bright boy. He is industrious and
had several hundred dollars of his
own earnings that had been loaned to
his father for which he held his faith
er's note. He is not supposed to have
had any money to take away with
him and how they should have made
such successful go is a mystery. Mrs.
Bowman is almost distracted over the
affair and takes the matter very hard
Both parties are doing all possible to
locate the children and it is thought
they will soon be apprehended.
