CALEB POWERS CHOICE FOR CONGRESS
Fer Eight Years He Languished in
Kentucky Jail, Charged With
Murder OF Goebel.

London, ky.-By decisive majority
of more than 1000 votes Caleb Powers
dedicated Congressman Don G. Edwards
for the republican nomination for rep
rsentative from the Eleventh congress
sional district of Kentucky III a pri.
mary election held Thursday.
At the headquarters OF Congressman
Edwards it was conceded that Powers
had carried all but four of the nineteen
counties which comprise The district.
Edwards carried only Laurel, Bell, Pu-
laski and Perry counties.
Congressman Edwards is serving his
| third term. Powers, who has defeated
him for denomination, made his race
upon an appeal to the voters of the dis.
trict to give him the nomination as
"vindication" of his alleged completely
in the assassination Of democratic Gov
ern0r William Goebel in 1900 Powers,
who was secretary Of state at the time
OF the assassination, was confined in
jail during eight years, his first three
trials resulting in convictions and the
fourth in a disagreement. Last year
Governor Wilson swept the court rec.
ords clear of all the cases remaining
untried in connection with the Goebel
murder by granting pardons to Powers
and several others.
The campaign between Powers and
Edwards has been a spectacular one |
and evoked marked bitterness.
The district has normal republican !
majority of upward of 10000.

karnes City, TeX.-Mr. Frank
Woods, who lives fifteen miles east OF
karnes City, while blowing in his
field plowed up twenty-five Spanish
milled dollars, date from 1910 to 1912.

early '70s, while freight was being
hauled from old Indianola to San An.
tonic by Mexicans, that they buried
the money, but never returned to get
it. The money is in fine state of

water from the springs recently
acquired at the foot of III e
mountain west of town into the
reservoir south of the city to
Chas. Norlin, of Lewiston, on

for the extension of the system

ATTEMPT TO
BLOW UP BRADY
Four Sticks Of Dynamite Found
Under Printing Office at Meri-
dian Where Governor had Been
---Perhaps for Political Effect.

A dispatch from Boise dated
July IL says:
The town of Meridian, Idaho,
was thrown into CONSERVATION
early this afternoon by the dis
covery of four sticks of dynamite
under the Times office of that
place. The dynamite is known
to have been there since Satur-
day morning, July 9th, and in
connection with the incident it is
a significant fact that a public
reception to Governor Brady was
held in the Times building on
Friday evening, July 9Th, prior
to his speech before the Brady
club which was organized in
Meridian that night. On Satur-
day morning an employe of the
Times Office saw what he thought
to be the stub of roman candles
which he thought had been used
in Fourth of July celebration
protruding from under corner
of the building. He paid no
heed to them at the time but
yesterday he investigated and
found that four sticks of dyna-
mite of 40 per cent strength had
been lying there for four days.
W. F. Downey, town marshal,
was notified and removed the
explosives and John F. Blair,
proprietor Of the Times Office, at
once notified the sheriff's Office
in Boise. Deputy Sheriff James
O'Connor at once proceeded to
Meridian and made a thorough
investigation.
The inhabitants of Meridian
have many theories in regard to
the matter but all including the
most prominent and reliable citi-
zens are positive in their belief
that if an assassination was at
tempted no one in the town of
Meridian is responsible. This
idea is concurred in by Governor
Brady, who is of the opinion that
if an attempt upon his life was
contemplated no one in Meridian
had anything to do with it and
believes that the theory of an
anarchist plot is the most plau-
sible.

To whom it may concern:
Having made two trips to
California I Investigated the Eu-
calyptus tree very thoroughly
while there and know it is the
fastest growing tree in the world,
as well as an extremely hard
wood. | also looked into the re-
ports issued by the Forestry So
ciety of California, which state
that one acre planted to these
trees will pay 81, 500 in ten years
on an investment of 5000 per
acre.
l have invested in the Idaho
Hardwood Co. for the above rea-
sons, and consider it one of the
best investments / have ever
made, and strongly recommend
it to my friends in Cottonwood.
| know positively that these trees
have grown 10 inches in dame
ter in less than six years in Cali

Oak and other hard wood trees
from 70 to 100 years to grow the
