got out of the cab, locking Gill
inside, and mounted beside the
driver. Gill managed to unlock
the door and get out, renewing
the quarrel. Upon the renewal
OF the attack, and claiming to
have acted in self-defense, Potts
fired, and Gill fell. At first it
was feared mortal wound had
been inflicted, but he was hur-
ried to the sanitarium, where
surgeons ascertained the charac-
ter of the wound, and this morn
ing announced that it is not nee
essarily fatal.
Potts went Immediately to the
city Jail and surrendered to the
officers.
The weapon used was an auto
matte pistol. and the bullet was
steel-pointed. making a clean
hole. Gill also had a slight
abrasion on his nose, believed to
have been made by himself with
his knife.
Ray Gill is well-known through
out the State. Several years ago
he was in the newspaper bust
ness here and later was in the
city detective force for a time.
Then he became secretary Of the
State Fair Association, and has
been one Of the most active in
pushing the interests of that
enterprise. Last spring he enter
ed the office of State Superinten-
dent George B. Cook of Little
Rock as an assistant in the De-
partment of Education. Early
in June he was granted leave
of absence until November to de-
vote his attention to the State
fair. He is very popular here,
in Little Rock, and wherever
known in the State, and is not
naturally quarrelsome dispo-
sition. He is 35 years old and
has a wife and daughter.
Mrs. Gill arrived on the morn
ing train from Little Rock, hav-
Jig been called to her husbands
bedside.
The cincerest regrets express
ed by all on account Ct the uD-
fortunate affair.

COTTON IN ALABAMA

Montgomery, Ala, July %. -
Ideal weather conditions during
the last week throughout Alaba-
ma hay served to make Alaba-
ma cotton men more optimistic
concerning the outlook. Hot
sunny weather, interspersed BY
two days of showers, has brought
about an improvement, especial
" in the part of the crop which
was worked soon after the wet
weather. By great effort the
farmers secceeded in retaining
thousands of acres when they
had abandoned early IN the
season. However, the plant now
shows signs of exhaustion, which
will requite much moisture t is
week to overcome. Reports de-
clare the crop is spotted.

THE GOVERNMENT PROJECT.

Many were the times during the
past four years, when those depend
ant upon the completion and success
of the Payette-Boise reclamation nro-
ject, were driven to despair. 1t has
been a long, weary wait. The home
steaders on Deer Flat have eXper-
fenced delays and hardships that
would drive anyone near to distrac-
ton. The government has been slow.
The people have seen projects started
and completed within that time and
naturally became more or less impa-
tient. 1t was hard for them to feel
that the work was being pushed AS
rapidly as possible But there were
m my obstacles end difficulties 20
ove'come. Besides the engineerin,y
pi .9lems to be solved there wer2 wa
ter priority and property rights to be
settled, which added to the ratlral
slow of all governmental u"t.or-
tal'lhgs, made many vexatious DELAYS
But at last these | ave been overcome
the canals hava been completed and
water is in them.
The opening of the headgates of
the New York canal was momentous
event in the history of this section
of Idaho. 1t means the reclamation
of one of the largest tracts of irriga-
BILE land in the West. 1t means homes
for a farming community of rs thous-
and people. The land in the Boise
valley is the most fertile in the state
The climate is the best. These two
things supplemented by an adequate
supply of water, will make the entire
valley an immense garden. When the
land is covered with waving grass
and smiling grain, what a transfer
nation it will be from the forbidding,
sagebrush. This valley
will be peopled by industrious and in
telligent husbandmen. The wealth
produced will be immense, and I'M
like the mine, it will grow greater
with the procession of the years. EN-
pires have founded and thrived on
less resources than the Boise valley
has. We may now anticipate several
years of wonderful growth and pros

pose of some of their land to enable
them to meet their annual payments
for the first year and to provide seed
and machinery. But the land is so
productive that families can do we'll
on 40 acres, while most of them have
from so to 100 acres. But no one be-
grudges them all the land they may
have. They have earned it.. They are
now about to come into their own and
we congratulate them. The opening
of the headgates means the beginning
of a new era for us all. 1t means the
subjugation of the wild, and the re-
clamation of the desert. All through
southern Idaho such projects are I'M
der way or about to be. What a mag
nificent state and what a glorious
blessing Idaho will be when the great
Snake river valley and tributary val
leys are under water? When the
land is in cultivation and is yielding
the fruits to the labor of man, then
and not till then can we begin to ap-
proximate the bountiful blessings,
with which this state was endowed by
wise and benefcent Providence.

NAMPA DISTRACTED.

To the Tribune, the motives and
mental attitude of those infected with
the county seat malady, are profound
arcana. The disease seems to affect
every fiber of the being SO tinetured.
Once possessed, every one in the
community seems followed and bedev-
lied by the strange halucinations and
familiars of CHASTITY dream. Fancied
wrongs and frenzied thoughts become
the sole occupants of the mind. Con-
fidence gives way to suspicious and
love to hate. This is now the case
with poor. befuddled Nampa. She
knows not where she's at nor why
she's there. Here was a community
that six months ago had a clear mind,
a high ambition, a forceful energy and
a glowing future with every promise
Of near fulfllment. Today, she is

ATTORNEYS TAKE NOTICE.
Newspaper Men Adopt Standard Rates

At a meeting of the Canyon County
Press association last week 1t was
unanimously resolved that hereafter
all legal notices shall be published
only at the lawful rates. The rate for
legal notices as fixed by Idaho state
law is one dollar per inch for the first
insertion and fifty cents per inch for
each subsequent insertion, with a
minimum charge of one dollar.
Wherever the law enjOins rates differ
ent from these, as in delinquent lists,
which are 25c per description, such
rates will be followed. These rates
are legally based upon point type;
publishers using larger type must
count the words, go words to the inch.
Fractions Of an inch pro rata to the
nearest quarter inch. The above rates
will accordingly be in force in this Of
flee from this date, and win be uni

to know exactly the cost of any publ.

VIII Be Interesting,

Geo. o. Shields will be at the Opera
House on Saturday to lecture under
the auspices of the college. The an
nouncement will be found in another
column. The following letter is in
dicative of the high character of the
Shields lecture:
Stanford University, Cal, Feb. 3, 1909.
Mr.. George o. Shields, New York.
Dear Sir-Permit me to express to
you our thanks for your lecture last
night on wild Animals and Snow
Slides in the Canadian Rockies" 1t
was in every way most satisfactory.
Your lantern slides have been chosen
with rare skill and judgment; and
the discussion with which you made
the pictures clear was most interest
ing-neVer tedious, always to the
point, and with a pleasant vein Of hui
NOR.
Above all, l wish to commend the
work which you have done for the
preservation of big game and of birds
There is scarcely an issue of greater
Importance before the American peo-
pie, because if we do not save the
birds and the game while they are
living, we can never get them back
again. The relation of bird life to
agriculture and horticulture is al
most as vital as the necessity of wa
ter.
Again expressing our high appre-
citation, l am,
Very truly yours,
DAVID STARR JORDAN
