PROMISE OF BUMPER CROPS
IN SUNNY SOUTHERN
IDAHO.

IDAHO.
From every direction reports are
coming in of the excellent crops pro-
duced in Southern Idaho this season.
According to Senator Fred w. Cor
dan, in interview with the Capital
News, crops in Lincoln county will
surpass any yield within the memory
OF man. Wheat, oats, corn potatoes,
alfalfa, and fruits showing the won
ders that can be done with dry farm
ing.
Last week the Nampa Flour and
Feed Company purchased the crop
of oats raised on the old Walhng
place. The yield was at the rate OF
los bushels to the acre, the grain
having been planted between rows Of
young apple trees.
In the vicinity of Star and Eagle
the hay and grain are of the best
while the yield of fruit is so great
that trees are breaking under the
weight
With the prolonged hot wave in
the East, the crops are very light
and the concensus of opinion is that
a great many people will turn their
faces westward and seek new locatio
in the irrigated lands of Idaho.

EXPECT MESSAGE
FROM THE DEAD

Boston, Aug. 30. TO some Of the
members Of the Society for Psychical
Research, the passing Of Prof William
James, the Harvard psychologist,
means more than the loss OF one of the
most learned and valued members OF
the famous organization. Before he
died he promised those who remained
after him to help them solve the great
question which the society for many
years has been trying to elucidate:
v Can the dead communicate with the
living through mediums or otherwise?1
The late pr. Richard HQdgson and
Professor James had essayed many
tests Of this and each had given the
other a message, unknown to anyone
else on earth, which the first to die
was to communicate to the other, if
when he passed beyond the vale he
found communication possible IT.
this message was received by the liv-
ing one it was to be regarded as indis-
putable evidence that communication
from the spirit land was an actuality
After the death Of Doctor Hadgson,
Professor James anxiously awaited the
agreed upon, but SO far as
known it never was received. Had Pro-
fessor James received 1t there is little
doubt that he would have made it
known. A New York man has asserted
that he has talked with Doctor Hodg-
don through a medium, but Professor
James, SO far as known, never has, and
he was the person 10 whom Doctor
had promised to communicate
Il 1t were possible.
1t now is understood that Professor |,
lanes, before his death, confded mes
'ages to certain members Of the SO.
.iety which he promised he would
iend to them from the spirit world If
lie found communication possible, SO
lis passing is regarded by the mem
'ers Of the society as really journey
0 the undiscovered country to solve
he mystery of the ages.

necessary. The question was brought
to the attention OF the comptroller in
formally and he gave notice that ii II
was submitted to him for decision he
would rule in the negative. Every
possible argument was used in an ef-
fort to change his views but he would
not be sweryed from his settled iudg-
meni When there seemed to be no
way out Of the difficulty happy solu-
ton dawned upon those who wanted
the money. It was 70 convince the
comptroller that his health was some
what impaired and that vacation for
a month would be to his physical adj
vantage and the benefit OF the govern
ment in che renewed strength he
would bring to his duties. The ar
rangement was pleasing to the comp
tfoller and he sailed worth In search
OF health and recreation. A substi-
tute was appointed to serve IN his alb
sence and it happened that the new
man held an opinion regarding the
in deadlock opposite to the
views Or III irregular comptroller. He
rendered a decision accordingly.
An active Judge advocate general OF

ers but a case came up recently where
