elect manager and other executive Of
ficials. The association have handled
eleven cars of coal this winter, have
completed their new warehouse and are
now ready to handle farm machinery,
wire, feed and seed in carload lots for
cash only. J C. Brashear has proved
a successful organizer and manager and
there is little if any doubt that he will
be reelected as manager for the ensu-
ing year.
Last fall the State Industrial School
at st. Anthony made an exhibit of in
dustrial products manufactured by the
pupils of the institution, including har-
ness goods, boots, and shoes, uniforms
for girls and boys, specimens of sewing
and fancy work, specimens Of drawing,
and tablets showing views of the build
ings and farm scenes with historical
nctations written in copy plate style,
together with other things that tended
to show the progress being made by
the pupils in school studies and indus
trial arts This exhibit was sent to
the Seattle exposition and attracted
much favorable attention. When Pres
ident Taft visited the exposition and
was shown the Industrial School exhibit
he gave it much praise and statee that
it indicated trend of educational effort
that he heartily favored. At the Boise
State fair the Industrial School won
loving cup and first premium for an ex-
hibit similar to the one at Seattle with
the addition of agricultural products
raised on the school farm by the pu-
pills whose working time is devoted to
that line of effort Industrial educa-
tion is still in its infancy and it is
proper that state institution of this
character should blaze the way for
other schools to follow as the benefits
to be derived from industrial training
are thus made conspicuous and so plain
that all may see and believe.
1t has been stated that the boys COM
prising the cornet band of the State
Industrial School at st. Anthony have
become so proficient with daily practice
under competent instructor that they
could furnish music all day without US
ing sheet of music and without re-
peating.

seem to be working in satisfactory
manner in most of the forest reserves
that are managed along these lines.
81 am of the opinion that we should
go further than this, and that law
should be passed authorizing the presi-
dent of the United States to appoint a
committee of five from among the mem
bers of the great stock associations,
and who would be paid from funds col
lected from the users of the forest
ranges, and that their judgment in the
management and control of the nation
al reserves should be given equal
weight with those of the forestry Off
cials. The judgment and experience of
committee of this kind would in my
opinion far exceed in value that of the
present managers of the forestry de-
partment. In this way the grazing
areas of the forests could and would be
put to their fullest use, and grazed to
their greatest capacity.
President Gooding pleaded for better
organization of the wool growers say
ing:
'Let me mention another important
matter-the securing of uniform laws
by the legislatures of the various west
ern states providing for the payment OF
bounties on predatory animals destruc-
tive to our industries. Idaho alone dur
ing the past two years has paid boun-
ty on over 80, 900 of these animals.
Some states pay bounty on scalps,
some on feet, ETC. By this method the
chances are that the feet are paid for
in one state, Hnd the scalp from the
same animal is paid for in another. BY
having uniform laws an end can be put
to this apparent robbery"
''It has been said by some members
that we should not get our organiza-
tion into politics. can not agree with
this statement If we wish to protect
ourselves against adverse tariff legisla-
tion, we must get into politics. If we
wish railroad legislation on the mini
mum speed limit law, we must get it
through members of Congress. That
is politics. If we want changes in our
forestry policy and so with almost eve
rything we want-it can only be secur-
ed through the legislature or political
influence.

Supreme Court Sustains Judge
Walters in the Sentence of
Murderer to the GaIIows
LOOKS BLACK FOR GUILTY NAN
Prisoner will be Brought Back to Sho~
shone for New Sentence Officers
Are to be Congratulated

Prosecuting Attorney Disney re-
'eeived telegram Tuesday night from
Attorney General McDougall stating
that the Supreme court had sustained
Judge Walters in the Fleming murder
case and that the prisoner would be
sent back to Shoshone sor new sem
tence to the gallows. Mr.. Disney also
received congratulations from the
Attorney General, also from Judge
Howe of Mt. Home who assisted in the
prosecution, and from other prominent
men. A new trial would have cost
Lincoln county many thousands of dol
lars which the tax payers would have
been called on to pay. but all this has
been saved because Judge Walters
made no errors in his rulings and de-
cisions and MIR. Disney drew up the
papers and managed the trial without
a flaw and without an error.
From the time that Frank Langford
was found dead on the road near the
home of John Fleming with bullet
through his breast and Fleming gave
himself up in Rupert that same evening
for the murder, the case attracted
general interest till after the close of
the trial
Fleming never denied the shooting
from ambush and the evidence of his
wife did not help his case. Both showed
themselves criminal degenerates too
dangerous to remain at large and she
was sent to the insane asylum at Black
foot by the Probate court and the trial
resulted in verdict of murder i'll the
first degree for Fleming and Judge
Walters sentenced him to the gallows.
The death penalty would have been
paid long ago had not a brother of the
murderer advanced money to fight the
case to the end. Just what will be the
next move is not certain.

WILL INSTALL AN
AUXILIARY STEAM PLANT

The Gooding Brothers held an i'm
portant meeting in the First National
Bank building last Tuesday, the oc
casion being the election of Bank officers
for the ensuing term and the considera-
ton of the improvement of the Sho-
shone Light and Water service.
The present bank officers were re-
elected.
With regard to the light power and
water service, it was decided and voted
to install an auxiliary steam power
plant of equal power with the present
water power plant.
With the Gooding Brothers, decis-
ion means action and negotiations are
already pending for the purchase of the
steam plant and the same will be in
stalled in shoshone long before there
will be any occasion to use it.
With the steam plant ready for use,
any repairs, changes or enlargement of
the water power plant can be made
without interfering in any manner with
the light power or water service of the
city.
The steam plant will be abundantly
able to carry on the work in all its
branches without any assistance from
the water power plant.
While there has been considerable
interruption of the service this winter
owing to the severe cold weather freez-
ing needle ice that accumulated in the
flume, it should be remembered that
Boise suffered much more severely and
that nearly every city in the state mas
gone through a similar experience.
Shoshone isn't alone.
The rev service will be superior to
anything in this region and far beyond
the average service for cities of the
size of this.
Manager F. C. Pierce is an electrical
engineer of skill and experience and
the intermittent Interruptions to the
service have caused him world of
work and worry. The change Of plan
will prove blessing TO him of greater
import than to the average citizen.

USED HIS NEW CUTTER

1t was about New Years, or any rate
the first threatening warm spell, that
Ben Darrah received his fancy cntter
and he was in hurry to use it before
the snow melted completely off the
ground. With several thousand sheep
eating alfalfa hay worth twenty dol
lars a ton by reason of the snow cover
ing the grass of the desert, it would be
just his luck to buy costly cutter just
as the snow was melting off and there
by lose a sleigh ride But luck turned
his way just this once if never before
and that cutter is seeing some siren
uous service while the sheep continue
to gulp down the alfalfa without stop
ping to chew their cud.

c. F. BORDEN RETURNS
FROM NOVA SCOTIA

C. F. Borden returned last Saturday
from his Nova Scotia trip. He found
his father well and healthy at 81 ard
ate dinner while there with his fathers
eldest sister, a lady of 81 who retains
all her faculties. is alert and active and
remembers everything that transpired
within her observation The trip both
ways was made by the Union Pacific to
Omaha and Chicago, the Wabash to
Detroit and the Canadian Pacific to
Halifax. The old home where Mr..
Borden was born is located about 6O
miles from Halifax. His father is also
a native Canadian. There was not
snow enough in Nova Scotia for good
sIeighing while Mr. Borden was there
but on the return trip he saw good
sleighing all the way home. There was
no more snow anywhere along the route
than is now on the ground here in Sho-
shone. 1t was on the return ride not
far from Tarontc, Canada that the
train was wrecked. Mr.. Borden was
lust entering a sleeping berth for
nights repose whena broken rail caused
the engine and eight cars of the train
to leave the track in cut and turn
over. Fortunately no one was seri-
ously injured, the worst case being
broken nose. The ladies of the party
found refuge inneighboring farm houses
and the men used stove in the baggage
car to keep warm till relief came.
The long ride nearly acrsss continent
is certainly drawback for frequent
visits of Mr.. Borden TO see his aged
father and the old homestead in far off
Nova Scotia.

BEATING THE TRUST.

While the egg trust has been awful
busy stacking away eggs TO beat the
people next winter the people have
also been busy preserving eggs to beat
the trust at its own game. In June
in twenty-eight warehouses in New
York there were stacked 1,119,0OO
cases, or 4OO,OOOOOO eggs, an increase
of 100000 cases over last year.
But, say, il you 60 into lots of cool,
clean cellars and rooms in private
homes you will also find thousands
and thousands Of eggs preserved in
crooks, kegs and barrels that weren't
there last year. This stunt seems to
be universal among the people, and the
trust is going to have the time Of its
life the coming season. for it must
compete with the antipathy Of the peO-
pie. the uncornered fresh egg supply,
the large foreign imports and. last, but
not least, these home stored eggs.
Most of these are preserved in liquid
glass. which has kept eggs for four
years with less change than comes to
a cold storage egg in three months
You didn't put any up? Sorry you
didn't have the method. Well, here it
is for 1911:
WATER GLASS METHOD.
Place sound. fresh. clean eggs end
down in a stone Jar. Pour over the
layers a solution one part glass to fif-
teen parts water. If eggs float add
more water. Keep in cool, even tenn
