FUEL PROBLEM IN HAND.

Business Men Weighing the
''Stolen" Property.

The citizens who have been view
ing for the past ten days their
empty coal bins. took the dis
tribution problem into their own
hands last Friday when car of
Oregon Short Line railway coal ap-
peared in the yards says the Twin
Falls Times. A self appointed weigh
master from the citizens took in the
money and weighed the coal out in
small quantities. Agent Sullivan
called upon Sheriff Dyer to stop the
performance. but he, after seeing the
orderly manner with which the citi-
zens conducted the enforced sale,
took no action.
Agent Sullivan. the next day, when
two more cars appeared on the sid
ing, acted as weighmaster, in COM
pliance with Instructions from the
officials and added the amount to the
sales of day before, which were
promptly turned over to him.
Sunday morning of this week the
railroad company, acting upon de-
mand made by the Commercial club,
sent out a special train to bring de-
layed cars into this city from Pocatel-
10, and up to today about twelve cars
have been received. The pressure is
to some extent relieved, and with the
action takn by Mr.. Bancroft in get
ting in the delayed shipments all suf-
fering should be at an end

AFTER THE RABBIT PEST.
Hepburn People Get Together and
Destroy 565 At One Drive.

The rabbit drive on Tuesday In the
Hall district was the means of rid
ding the project OF SOS Of the Jacks.
A goodly number OF settlers attend
ed the drive. and their numbers were
sweIled by a good sized delegation
from Hepburn. Herb Peterson hitch
ed up four horses on the sled and
carried all who could climb into It..
The Hall people are to be commended
on their efforts to get rid OF the
jacks. and every other district ought
to do likewise. Another drive Will
be held at the same place on Mon
day afternoon at l o'clock. and ev-
eryone who can walk are urgently
invited to turn out. It is hard to
estimate the damage that will be
when new trees are set out. as the
past experience has been that they
will bark the young trees and let the
older ones alone Every farmer
should make it a point to get in on
these drives, for self-protection And
If the drive is not in his particular
district, one should be organized. All
that is to be done is for some one
to take the lead and the rest is easy
as almost everyone has a little spare
time these Hepburn Review.

ASKS $4,000 FOR COTTON STANDARDS
A Thousand Sets Are to Be Made. Secretary v
Shows Congressman New Classification

WASHINGTON, D. Gust in
front of Speaker Cannon's desk in the
house of representatives is an object
lesson exhibit that is not only of in
terest, but also of extreme value to
many lines of industry throughout
the country. The exhibit shows how
the work of establishing standard
grades of cotton authorized by the
BurlesOn amendment to the act of
1908, has been completed By the
terms of this act the secretary of
agriculture was directed to fix stand
ards for the nine grades of cotton as
follows: Middling fair, strict good
middling, good middling, strict mid
ding, middling, strict low middling,
low middling, strict good ordinary
and good ordinary.
After careful study of the subject
the secretary decided to call to his
assistance a committee of gentlemen
representing all the elements of the
cotton trade-the growers, the gin
ners, the commission merchants and
the splnners-and this committee as
finally constituted was composed as
follows; Joseph A. Airey, New Or
leans; James Akers, Atlanta; F. M.
Crump, Memphis; C. p. Parker, Bos-
ton; Lewis w. Parker, South Caro-
lima; John Martin, Paris, Texas; Ma
thaniel Thayer, Boston; George w.
Neville, New York; Charles A. We'd
der, Galveston and DR.. NJ. A. Cobb
and X. l.. Bennett of the department
of Agriculture. The committee was
assisted by the following expert cot
ton classifiers: w. P. Barbor New
York; Jules Mazerat New Orleans;
j. X. Taylor, Dallas, Tex.
As the result of their deliberations
a number of sets of samples were
made up, and these are now on exhi-
bltion before congress. The small
BOX just in front of the Speakers ia
bic illustrates the size of the COM
mercial samples which have hereto
fore been and are at the present time
being used in the cotton business.

CAROLINA KILLS STATEWIDE
Senate's Work Was Quick. LegisIa-
ture Has But Little More Whis-
key Talk Before 1t.

COLUMBIA, S. C.-The house to-
night after several roll calls and
amendments passed the statewide
prohibition measure to third reading
by a vote of 5S to AZ.
A like measure was killed in the
senate. The vote in the senate was
close, being 22~to IS. The bill was
killed in five minutes with no dis
cussion, this being a total surprise.
In the house a peculiar situation
arose. The prohibition bill was
passed with an amendment making it
effective January /, 1910, the effect
being perhaps to make the bill I'M
constitutional, operating as it would,
should it pass, as an ex post facto
law.
Statewide prohibition in South
Carolina is dead by the senate's ac-
ton tonight. Now, however. there
are only six wet counties and SO dry
counties.

LIABILITIES ARE S37,OOO,OOO
Mexican National Packing Company
Fails Following Banks
GuCnnnc;np
suspension.

NEW YORK.-The Mexican Ma
tional Packing Company, a New Jer-
sey corporation controlled by English
investors and operating a string of
slaughter houses and packing houses
in the Republic of Mexico under
special concessions from the Mexican
government, failed today with liza
bilities, including stock, of approxi-
mately $37O0O,0O0.
The assets were not announced
but it is estimated that they are in
excess of the liabilities. The com
pany will continue to operate it's
plants as usual. Henry Dekay was
appointed receiver by Judge Lanning
in the United States circuit court in
New Jersey this afternoon.
Samuel Untermyer, as counsel rep
resenting English bankers and other
investors in the property, issued the
following statement tonight:
The appointment of receiver for
the Mexican National Packing Com
pany is due to the temporary tying
up of large amount of the com
pany's resources through the suspen-
sion of the United States Banking
Company, of Mexico City.
we are advised that the packing
company had upwards of 100000
gold to its credit in the United States
Banking Company at the time of the
banks suspension.
The tying up of the packing COM
pany's immediate resources and the
uncertainty as to the possible action
that might be taken led to the ap-
( pointment OF a receiver to conserve
the assets until a settled course can
be pursued

this city and went to the Lincoln

His mail increased from an occa-
sional picture post card to such pro-
portions that it kept one letter car
rier busy cartiDg it to him.
The letters are from corporations
with blocks of beautifully engraved
mining stock to exchange for bank
notes, checks or stamps; from mem
bers of the Il Knew You When

from about a thousand maidens and
widows anxious TO exchange pleas

Il am surprised at the number of
women and girls who have written
and offered to marry me, said Mr..
Siegfried today. They all describe
themselves as loving and affection
ate.
The letters were from women in
every part of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and even
Ohio. Many of them were addressed
TO william Siegfried, YOnkers, n.

The samples in the large boxes are
those that have been prepared by
the department and by the commit
tee of experts. In the full set there
is one box showing a sample for each
of the nine grades provided in the
law. The samples which appear in
the boxes on the table represent the
highest grade, the lowest grade and
the middling cotton. There are pho
tographs of the packages on the lids
of the boxes. These photographs are
made so that in case the cotton
should discolor or there should be
trash accidentally thrown over it in
the course of use the change would
be detected by comparison with the
photograph.
The law provides that these sets of
samples may be supplied by the de-
partment at actual cost to any one
who desires to purchase them. Sec
rotary Wilson thinks that the de-
mands upon him at the present time
indicate that not less than 1000 sets
will be called for during the year, and
! it is to enable him to procure these
sets that the committee on agricul-
/
crease of $4,000 in the appropria-
ton. The law provides that those
purchasing these samples shall pay
the actual cost AS nearly as the ex-
perts in the department can figure
out, set costs $35. 1t is believed
= that if 1000 sets are made up the
cost will be reduced to $25 a set
The expectation is that these sets
of samples will be purchased and
used chiefly by commission mer-
chants and the exchanges, and by
agricultural colleges, farmers asso-
Citations and other organizations, so
that the individual farmer will not
find it necessary to buy them, but
will be enabled to use them as he
uses the scales now to weigh his cot
ton after it has been classed.
There is little doubt that because
of the case in CHASING cotton this way
this method will be adopted shortly,
not only in the United States, but in
foreign countries also There is no
obligation, however, on the part of
any one to use the sample boxes un-
less he desires.

WOMAN TRAPS GEM THIEF
MRS. SOMERS CAUSES THE CAP
TURE OF FRANK GEESE.
He Complained They Made
Him Dizzy.

NEW YORK.-The resOurceful-
ness of a woman, deceived by the
man she believed was to marry her,
effected the capture today of Frank
A. Geise, wanted in Chicago and New
York for forgeries, just before he
had time to blow out his brains. He
had robbed Mrs. Freida Somers of
$4,000 worth of diamonds.
Giese spent last evening with Mrs.
Somers, and they had a bottle of
champagne at her apartments for
supper. Giese raised his glass in
toast and said lughingly:
Take off those diamonds; they're
so bright they make me dizzy"
They'll be just as bright on the
table as on my neck" protested Mrs.
Somers, spreading them out before
him.
That's true" admitted Giese;
put them in this and he drew q
small chamois bag from an inner
pocket and passed it across to her.
Mrs. SOmers placed the diamonds in
the bag and laid it on her dressing
table. 1t was there this morning,
or one like it, but the diamonds had
gone. In some way Giese had eff
fected a substitution.
At the discovery of her loss she
went into Mysteries, and the appear
ance of two detectives, who had been
shadOwing Giese did not reassure
her. At that moment the telephone
rang. The evil genius of Giese had
prompted him to call up just at the
wrong moment.
"Hush," said the woman to the
detectives, there's your man." and
then into the telephone, ''Where are
you, Frank?"
Mrs. Somers whispered the ad-
dress, and while the detectives
rushed to the place she kept him
hanging to the other end of the wire
until he was caught.
When placed under arrest Giese
tried to shoot himself, but the de-
tectives were too quick for him.
Il always kept ready to 60" Giese
told them. Il knew it could not last
long, but it has been high flying
while it did"
The diamonds were recovered and
identified
Giese, who comes from Baltimore,
was recently employed by the Hurley
Machine Company, and confesses that
last October he forged the name of
Neil c. Hurley to a check for ST.
800, which was cashed for him by
the National Bank of the Republic
in that city. Then he fed to San
Francisco and later came here. The
Hotel Aston and the Waldorf both
have his bad checks for $3.50, and
both have been looking for him. He
was held in $4,000 bail.

WARNING ON HATS BEGUN.
Express Charges Higher For Trans

Express Charges Higher For Trans
porting the Big Things.
Alleged excessive express rates on
millinery goods fixed by the compa-
MES, it is said, for the purpose of
checking the increasing size of wo-
mems hats has formed the subject
of an investigation by the interstate
commerce commission.
Efforts to reduce the dimensions of
wOmen's headwear on the part of
the express companies were under
taken in 1906, when they raised the
price of carriage and made restric-
lions on the size of the boxes in
which the hats were shipped.
But the women demanded big hats,
and the milliners were compelled to
supply monster creations instead of
small and dainty CONNECTIONS. The
increased rates were paid for three
years, but finally the milliners re-
belled.
