These worthless checks were
drawn on the Whitney Central

and nine of them have been rr-
cciycd here. The checks are for
sums from 80 to $40 and were
ca>hcd by hotels for the most
part. The first heard of the ope-

+. A. Mcllhenny, president OF
the McIIhenny Company, stated
last night that several years ago,
shortly after the expulsion Of
young Mcriwcther from the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, a Mr.
Mcrlwcther. who Travelled for II
st. Louis shoe company, called on
him with young man about
nty-three years old, whom, he
introduced as his son. Marccllus
Mcriwether, who had been eX-
PEELED from Annapolis.
Several months ago several
checks made pa yablc to Marcellus
Meriwethcr Were presented at the
Whitney Central National Bank
for payment, but payment was re-
fused as the Mcllhcnny Company
had no account at the bank.
Since then nothing had hccn
heard of Mcriwether until the ope-
rations in his name in Philadcl-
phia he represented himself to be
the Meriwether who had been eX-
PEELED from Annapolis and also as
serted that he was employed by
the Mcllhenny Company. Mr..

er had never been employed by
his company.-T. ID.

BY introducing himself as Min

who formerly was student at

it is SAID that Marcelhus Meriweth-

One of these frauds was perpe-

learning of the affair sent word
to his son, who is spending some
time on the Meriwether planta-

Minor Meriwether, Jr., was still
at Bagley today and the only news

T.. II. GRUBB, THE POTATO EX-

SOILS POSSIBILITIES.
He places Idaho In Front Rank of
Potato Producing States. of Which
There Are But Six In the RunniRg
at Present.

The Twin Falls correspondent of
the Statesman sends that paper a
most interesting account of the deduc-
tions of e. II. Grubb, the Carbon
dale, Colo, authority on potato rails
ing, who has contributed, of late,
much to the interesting and valu-
able knowledge that is being distri-
buted throughout the state by the
Short Line company, through the
medium of booklets.
Potatoes for the entire United
States are eventually to be supplied
by Idaho, in the opinion of e. II.
Grubb of Carbondale, Colo, who
analyzed the spud situation quite ex-
tensively during talk here just
previous to starting for Salt Lake,
where he Joined on its northward
journey the Oregon Short Line com
panys farmers lecture special"
Mr.. Grubb who is an expert on the
subject, displayed an array of fig
ures CLEANED from official sources,
which showed that only six of the
American States grow more of these
tubers than people in those states
consume, and that all the other states
eat more than they raise.
The six states yields are as fol
lows: Maine. 100000 bushels;
Michigan, 27,0O0,OOO bushels, and
Wisconsin, 27 100000.
Minnesota and Dakota have large
surpluses, but figures of their tota,
yields are unavailable. New York
produces 35,OO0,OO0 10 4O,OOO.OOO
and consumes SO.OOO,OOO bushels
She imports 4O.OOO.0O0O bushels
from foreign countries and other
American states.
Colorado. Notwithstanding hel
great reputation for producing very
superior potatoes, is also an i'm
porter. drawing supplies at times
from Florida, Texas, California ant
Kansas. The Centennial state is
therefore. a paradox in the spuC
world
Utah only grows so per cent o.
the potatoes she consumes, and Mr.
Grubb takes the position that sh'
ought to add much to her yield o
this product of the soil.

Hamer.

Soren Madsen has dispatched the
following letter to Representative
Thomas r. Hamer, Washington, ID.
c., and it should be the first of many
from our citizens.
The blame for the yearly deficit
in the postal revenues is easily trace
able to its legitimate source, and that
source is not the second-class mailing
privilege.
Beginning next week we will more
fully explain this subject of conten-
tion for our readers.
Here is the letter:

Hon r. r. Hamer,
Dear Sir:-My attention has been
called to a proposed change in the
postal laws, recommended by Presi-
dent Taft. which, in my opinion
which opinion is shared by many at
this PLACES vicious in the ex-
treme
II allude to the proposed raise in
rates on second-class mail matter
II take it that you will not put
yourself on public record as opposed
to the postulate that everything fay-
oring or increasing the sum of know
ledge on topics of such vital i'm
portance to all citizens as legislation
and the judiciary and executive
branches of government, local, state
and national, and the relation Of pri-
vate corporate interest thereto is OF
peculiar benefit. and that IL is the
duty of all officers. and especially
legislators. to aid to the extent OF
their knowledge and ability this dis
semination of real knowledge of such
matters to all the people.
Assuming this. ] cannot see but
you will be recreant to the trusI
placed in you by the people Of Idaho
If you fail, as member of the house
committee on postal matters, and as
at large to fail by voice and vote tc
do all in your power to defeat this
proposed measure, or any similar one
thereto.
ALLOW me to call to your attention
what you undoubtedly are aware of
that the railways charge the posta
department higher rates than the ex
press companies, that by certain In
