On the Junk" pages of the daily
newspapers, sandwiched in between
Peruna and Cod Liver Pills, we read
that DIR. Alexander Petrunkevitch of
the American Museum of Natural
History has just returned from the out
of the way corners of Mexico, bringing
two thousand spiders, two thousand
bottles of insects and a choice lot of
scorpions, snakes and amphibias. The
doctor may be as useful in scientific re-
search as some other certain individual.
but if he is to get his name in the big
head lines and have publishers trail
after him with offers of a dollar word
for his stories, he must HE himself to
some PARKWAY shore and-kill, kill, kill
and kill. But he should not overlook
the necessity of taking along a good
press agent.

The Press at American Falls boas is
Of the good work the commercial club
Of that town is doing toward the build
ing up Of the community. The town is
spending 1925 a month for its publicity,
the main object being to attract manu-
factories and settlers TO occupy and de-
yelop the land tributary to American
Falls. The town is but a few years
old, but its growth has been phenome-
nal, the population mountaineering over
5000. The Spokane Of Idaho" is the
slogan adopted by'this live Idaho town,
and the brief history Of the place
is ample assurance that the Falls
City" boosters are going to get almost
anything they go after.

There was a murder down near Boise
the other day. The sheriff and posse
placed the body of the murdered man
in wagon and started for Nampa
On arriving at Nampa the body was to
be turned over to the authorities, but
on going to the box the body was miss
ing. 1t had jolted out, and was after
ward found lying along the road. We
have known of number of persons
who dreaded journeys over Idaho roads,
but when the dead escorted by a sheriff
and posse absolutely refuses to travel
there is no further argument needed in
support Of the campaign for good
roads.

Aldrich Travels at Public
Expense.
EXpenSe.

Des Moines Register and Leader: 1t
will come as news to the republicans of
the middle west that Senator Aldrich's
tour OF this section was official, and
that the cost Of his special car and his
stenographers and secretaries, is
charged up to the government.
We are surely coming to new pass
when junleting tour, undertaken for
purely political purpose to bolster up
policy in dispute, can be saddled upon
the public treasury.
There was some question when the
president was given S25, 600 in addition
to his other perquisites for travelling
expenses. In the hands Of an agrees
i've party leader this might degenerate
into an ordinary campaign fund. But
the presidents is nominally the repre-
sentative Of the whole people.
In the case Of Senator Aldrich, COW
ering the west on purely political mis-
sion, in no way representing the gov
eminent, really out to inspect the
vitality Of the middle west insurrection,
there is no more occasion for a public
charge than there would be for one Of
Mr.. Bryan's lecturing tours
With $4,000 openly given to the
president, and with the party leaders
permitted 10 cover their travelling ex-
penses in some public fund or other,

er than the crops OF 1900, and about
81 per cent. greater than the average
annual production of the preceding
FIVE years. Prices for important
crops averaged on November j about
5.4 per cent. lower than year ago.
"The production of other crops in
1910. expressed in percentage of the
average production in recent years
(not compared with full crop), is
estimated as follows:
PEACHES, 1871; hops, 1863;
broomcorn. 1854; cranberries
1854; sweet potatoes. 104.9;
sorghum, 1916; asparagus, 1925;

Slayer Comes to Ask About Charge
Tried TO Commit Suicide.

Boston Especially Two men were
shot and killed In the district attor-
ney's Office in the county courthouse
in Boston. The victims were Police
Sergeant Frederick Schlehuber and
Frank A. Rees.
The assassin is Walter G.. Fall, a
young man of 25, who was employed
In the office of the sealer of weights
and measures in the statehouse. Fall
had been arrested on the charge of
having made an attack upon Esther
II. Fogg, aged IA years, step-daugh-
ter of Rees. The case was to come
up soon, and Fall, accompanied by
his attorney, Benjamin f. Names,
went to the courthouse to axis about
1t.
At the district attorneys Office
were Rees and the police sergeant,
who were witnesses against. Fall.
Shortly after Fall entered he began
shooting. His first bullet killed Rees.
He then shot twice at Schlehuber,
who fell unconscious. He died on
his way to the hospital.
Officers in the room grappled with
Fall, and arrested him after a strug-
gle. He seemed determined to kill
himself, and fired two shots during
the struggle, but none of the later
shots took effect.
That the tragedy had been deliber-
ately planned by Fall was established
when the police learned that he had
telephoned to an undertaken and
had made arrangements for his own
funeral.
One of the bullets narrowly miss
ed District Attorney Pelletier. Pelle-
tier said Fall would have escaped
prison as Rees had been willing to
compromise for the sake OF the girl.

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review Of Trade and
Market Reports.
Bradstreets saws:


Colder, more seasonahle weather
stimulating for retail and jobbinr
recorder trade; current distribu.
ton at many cities about equal IN
last year at this date; fairly GOOD
showing by the usual monthly es-
hibits of failures and clearings for
October; a continuance of the declin-
ing tendency hitherto noted In farm
produce, especially cereals and food
producing animals at wholesale
firmer money rates, with reports OF
an increased tendency on the part O,
Western farmers to hold crops, and
the pushing of the killing frost line
further to the Southwark, thus ter
minating the growth of cotton In A
wide area are among the leading
features of the week. Current re.
ports as to collections are that they
are about fair.
Relatively best reports as TO retail
trade came from the Central West
and South, where the cold wave early
in the week stimulated sales In sea
sonable goods. Trade at eastern cen
ters has been helped somewhat, but
reports as a whole do not testify tn
expected activity resulting. In the
western country features are the ef-
fects on grain marketing and the con-
tinued decline to new low levels Of
wheat and other cereals"
