BRADY is FIRM FOR LOCAL OPP
TON

Boise, Feb. 23-Boise may be
slow, but the fact remains that there
is less interest being taken in the Re-
publican governorship fight here than
at most places over the state. It was
expected when Chairman O'Neil came
out for the position there would be
a noticeable movement his way in
Ada county on account of the man
ner in which the county slammed
Governor Brady in the last election;
but so far there has not been a rip
PIE. The governor evidently mas
broken down a good deal of the OF
position to him that existed locally
before he took office. Practically
none of the old talk is heard, except
ing on the part of some one who OPP
posed his activity on the side of pro-
hibition in the recent local option
campaign here. 1t is the general be-
lief that the governor, as part of his
candidate policy, will go no further
than his party has gone, that he will
take his stand as firmly as in the
past for local option. 1t is the under
standing that the real prohibition
leaders here will not ask more, be-
ing willing that the local option plan
shall be given thorough test before
proceeding further.

ACQUITTED OF IDAHO TIMER
LAND FRAUDS

Boise, Feb. 28.--After celebrating
just twelve minutes, sufficient time to
take one ballot, the jury in the cele-
brated poster Kettenbach -Dwyer
timber fraud case returned a verdict
of not guilty at 1855 Saturday. I'M
mediately following the announce
ment OF the jury's findings the federal
court was the center of a scene path
etlc in the extreme, for not only did
the defendants, William F. Keeten-
bach, former president of the Lewis
ton National bank; George %.ester,
former cashier of the same institu-
ton, and William Dryer, a timber
cruiser, cry like children for sheer
Joy, but their wives, who were pres
ent, quietly wept over relief from the
strain under which they have been
laboring for many days.
The sudden verdict came as a sur
prise to both the defense and prose-
cution, who had expected the jury
would be out at least during the
night, or longer. Judge Frank S.
Dietrich, before whom the case was
tried, had just finished reading his
instructions to the jury, taking about
an hour and half to go over the evil
dence introduced and lay before the
jury the manner in which they should
weigh the evidence. The bailiffs,
three in number, were then sworn
and left the court room with the
jury. Counsel for the defense pro-
ceeded to open argument on clearing
the balance of the indictments for
subornation of perjury against two of
the defendants, Kester and Dwyer.
They had no more than started when
the jury announced that it had reach
ed verdict and was ready to report.
Judge Dietrich cautioned the
crowd in the room there was to be
no demonstration. The contents of

Washington, Feb. 24-That the or

other dangerous bugs, is the discov-
cry recently made by chemists, with
the result that the postoffice depart

windows to be very careful in hand

the gummed surface of stamps af-

THE BLUE BOOK SWINDLE
Idaho Falls Post

Idaho Falls Post
The bid for fame always stings
somebody though the ambitious new
er quit on the process. We note all
over the state that good many peo-
pie have bumped into the "Blue
Book" graft, and are lamenting. For
many years there has been moss
grown and cheap graft peddled about
the country called the blue Book"
This book, the merits of which were
presented to the individual subscrib-
er on the basis that it was an ex-
elusive publication and would con-
tain biographical sketches and the
photographs of distinguished citizens
and members of the first families and
was sold for good price. The publ
cation was supposed to be a classy
edition of some kind, just how nobody
has every been able to figure out, but
1t had mysterious air of social pres
tige about it that seemed worth the
money, and many good citizens
'coughed' to the extent of $25 up.
Several Idaho Falls dignitaries
were captured by the suave and oily
individual who did the soliciting. One
or two of them were told that they
would not have to pay a cent for a
copy or write up, because they were
SO generous as to give up considerable
information that was desired about
0tner people. An agent for the blue
BOOK appeared on the local scene
ABOUT SIX weeks ago-and collected.

Since that time a number of indiyid-
uals have had their checks returned
through the bank-but no blue book
or say other kind of book.

disappeared with the money, and is

Human nature is still weak. AS a rule
the book was scheduled to appear
some time within three or six months
which of course, gave him an oppor-
tunity to work the state in good
shape, and it appears he did that
without any loss of time.
The blue book" has been expos
ed time and again by the press, and
1t was part of the irnoy of fate, it
seems, that the CRATER gave refer
ence of newspaper people who knew
absolutely nothing about the publ
cation.

sons, cashier of the Bank of Idaho,

on a forgery charge. Murray repre-
sented the cashier as the treasurer of
the blue Book" company, and
check for $40 given by farmer, was
made payable to Parsons. Murray
forged the name of Parsons, secured
the cash, and migrated.
So that the price has again been
paid for experience, and the historical
sketches and biographical items of

naterialize. While the clean up in

half dozen people, number of 9TH
srs were in fair shape to get caught
IN the graft. Every community of

gets nipped he will probably get his
n good shape as there are many in

that everybody has lost and is des-

was projected"

to the railroad bill, requiring the in
terstate commerce commission to de-
termine within year the reasonable
ness of rates coming under the terms
OF the long-and-short-ha provision

Denver, June 3.-Western Slope
fruit growers and farmers in the
Gunnison section are facing a crisis
unless they come to terms with the
government regarding the water to
be turned into the Gunnison tunnel.
II the government terms are not
met within 80 days the loss will be
enormous, as thousands of acres of
land will be without water
The government demands that all
the holders of ditch stock turn the
same over to the government through
the water users association uncondi-

have absolute control of the water,
or not a drop will be turned into the
tunnel from the Gunnison river on

The association has about 1,50O
members, of which the majority fa-
vor the governments demands; but
there are some of the minority who
are asking excessive prices for their
ditch stock and refuse to come in on
the scheme unless they get their
price.
A mass meeting is to be held at
Montrose in the near future for the
purpose of effecting a settlement of
the matter; and, if this cannot be
done, it means that the great project,
on which more than $4,000,000 was

New York, June 3.-Following a
fairly strong opening, with some ir-

came a weak one today with crum-
bling prices.
United States Steel which recently
had been the strongest of the active

touching 76 * at 1890 pm.
Considerable pressure was directed
against the Hartman issues. partic-
ularly Union Pacific, which sold at
the lowest price of the year
ST. Paul also touched its lowest of
the year, and Reading declined three
points.
The industrial group showed losses
in many instances ftwo points or
more.
\ On the stock exchange the heavy
selling of the noon hour was regarded
as liquidation of long accounts. The
markets weakness was attributed in
the main to further pessimism result
ing from the government move
against the railroads and unfavorable
business.

APPLES NOT PACKED RIGHT.
Especial to The Sentinel

Denver. Colo, June 3.-That Col
orado is going to lose her prestige in
the Eastern markets as an apple
state unless a radical change is made
in the method of grading and pack
ing apples for shipment is the con-
viction of George B. Sykes, a Chicago
expert on the storage and shipment
OF apples, who reached Denver yes
terday and held a conference with
Mrs. Martha A. Shute, secretary of
the state bureau of hortig ulture.
Mr.. Sykes wants the Colorado
growers and shippers of apples to
learn the lesson that will give Colo
rado fruit the high rank it deserves
in the Eastern markets. But he says
the dealers in the East last year lost
money on their Colorado apples be-
cause of bad grading and packing.
Very ripe apples were packed in the
same box with green ones-and the
result was destruction. And all the
apples were so packed that the max
imum of preservation was not at
tanned.
As result, says Sykes, the apples
for the Eastern markets next fall will
come from the Northwest instead of
from Colorado. The dealers know by
experience that they can make money
on apples from the Northwest. and
they know by experience too, that
unless the methods of packing are
changed. they cannot make money
on Colorado apples.
Sykes has method of his own for
packing apples. He exhibited that
method at the apple show In the Audi
torium. and It Is believed that he
made large number of converts At
