PARDOND BY PRESIDENT
Robnett Serves One Day Of Ten
Year Sentence.
HAD HELPED GOVERNMENT
In North Idaho Land Fraud Prose-
cution.

Clarence W. Robnett, after ave
years Of prosecution for land frauds
and alleged theft OF 1870 OF the
funds OF the Lewiston National bank,
to all Of which he pleaded guilty, was
sentenced Nov. 13, la the federal
court at Moscow. to 10 years i'm
prisonment In the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. et
The news Of Robnett's sentence
Created a sensation at Moscow, but
the climax Of surprises came Tuesday
10 an unconditional pardon for Rob-
nett by President Taft. The prisoner
was at once released, paid his bin at
the Moscow hotel and returned to
Spokane. after one day in the Latah
county jail.
Deputy U. S. Attorney General
Peyton Gordon, whJ has had charge
OF the Lewiston National bank cases
and the north Idaho land fraud cases
ever since former U. s. Attorney N.
M. Rulck was succeeded by G. H.
Lingenfelter, has denied that Rob.
nett had been promised immunity.
Gordon explains that Robnett, who
was indicted for conspiracy along
with Kettenbach aud Kester OF Lewis.
ton about ave years ago. when Rob-
nett was bookkeeper and clerk of the
Lewiston National bank, he turned
away from Kettenbach and Kcster
and. according to Gordon. has worked
faithfully with the government
officials for almost three years in
explaining the various transactions
for which Kester and Kettenbach
were convicted and sentenced last
year for five years each. Gordon said
1t would have been "ungrateful on
the part Of the government to put
Robnett over for 10 years when the
real offenders were sentenced for i've
years." He, therefore, recommended
immediate pardon for Robnett, and
the attorney general wired back that
the president had granted the pardon

STATE PRISON Is CROWDED
Number Of Convicts Claimed to be,
Increasing.

ln spite Of 40 new cells which
have Just been installed, the state
Penitentiary is again crowded with
prisoners says the Boise States.
man. Before the cells were com.
pleted and accepted. there were
enough h men on hand to fill them
apd still leave few over for the
"runaround," a large room where
several men can be kept together.
Now the warden, John w. Shook,
is for rced to put two men in a cell.
a plan b which has been abandoned
by ne arly all of the penitentiaries
OF the country as the most unsafe
thing that can be done.
In crowded peniientiaries the
rule is always to put either one or
three men into cell, never two.
The Q I'D man does the watching
and is less likely to Join in with
the Others in an effort to escape or
to do any Of the other things that
the guards Of the prisons have to
be on the constant watch for.
Until the new cells were COM
pieted The warden only had a.
steel az d AZ brick cells for a37 men. !.
Now there are 1a29 steel and !,
brick cells, the latter being sused Z
only for the TRUSTEES Of the prison !:
There are now 253 men within the
high walls of the pen, the record
number thus far. More are com.
ing almost every day.t,4s.

OUR SENSITIVE PLANET.
Constant Changes In the Snaps Of the
Earth's Crust.

Earth's Crust.
One naturally thinks of the earth's
crust as being exceedingly solid and
stable. except perhaps in volcanic re-
gions where earthquakes are Of fire.
quent occurrence. AS matter Of
fact. however. the shell of our planet
is extremely sensitive and most deli
cately balanced. SO that under the in
6nences Of causes that seem altogeth-
er Insignificant in comparison with the
gigantic bulk and weight Of the earth
1t yields and fuctuates in q most
amazing manner.
TO an eye so placed as to be capa-
BILE of taking in at one comprehensive
glance the whole round outline Of the
globe 1t would not appear Of precisely
the same shape during an entire day
or even an hour. Most Of the changes
referred to are. of course, very slight
when compared with the size of the
earth itself.
The operation Of atmospheric and
oceanic and other similar causes is
continually bringing about changes in
the shape of the earth's crust. One
Of the most interesting of the agencies
whereby such alterations are effected
Is the carrying power Of rivers. Wher-
ever a great quantity Of sand and
gravel is being brought down from the
interior Of a continent and poured into
the sea, as, for instance. along the
northwestern coast of Europe or the
gulf coast Of the United States, the
weight Of the earth's crust is slowly
increasing. and the consequence is
seen in the gradual subsistence Of the
shore.
Such sinking has been going on
for thousands Of years along the North
sea coast and on the continental side
OF the British channel. A similar de-
preston Is occurring on the eastern
edge Of our own country and along
the gulf of Mexico. 1t has been esti-
mated that the gulf coast is sinking
at the rate Of nearly two feet in a
century.
Corresponding elevations must, of
course, occur elsewhere. And to these
slow changes in the level of the earth's
crust earthquakes are due as well as
to the more violent local disturbances
created by volcanic action.-Harper's
Weekly.

HHTMAN NOT IN RAGE
Spirit Lake Dispatch Say he is
Not Candidate
FOR CUBERNAToRIAL HONOR
Working Only For Harmony and
Republican Victory.

The following interesting dis
patch from Spirit Lake has b. zen
published in several state pap per.
the last few days:
That Ceur d'Alene correspon ID.
ent of the Spokane Chronicle, who
thinks Republican politics in
Idaho are in turmoil just because
some newspaper friends of the
chairman of the state Republican
central committee, c. L. Heitman b,
paid him the compliment of men.
tioning him for governor of the
state, may take all the satisfaction 10
possible by swallowing the infor
nation that Mr.. Heitman is not.
has not been, and will not be d
candidate, although strong
pressure has been brought to get
him to enter the race.
The unveiled attempt OF the
Chronicle correspondent to give
the impression that Heitman, dir
ectly or through Secretary Stotts,
is booming things for his (Heit-
man's) nomination and is not
standing officially and personally
aloof from participation in the pri-
mary struggle, is without founda-
ton even in thought. Mr.. Heit-
man is doing his duty with the
one purpose in retaining
and Strengthening harmony in the
party and in this is ably assisted
by Mr.. Stotts and the members of
the state committee.
And the state committee, acting
lmpersonally, so far as aspirants
tor the nomination are concerned,
desires only to see that Republican
nominated who not only can carry
the party to victory in 1912, but
can also honor himself and the
people of the state by giving an
administration commendable in
every particular.
Further, so far as is known, the
north part of the state will
produce no other candidates than
those already announced-S. D.
Taylor, Paul Clagstone and Ben
F. Tweedy.
1t is true Judge R. N. Dunn's
name has been mentioned. How
ever, up to the present, Dunn has |
preserved sphinxlike silence, so
far as anything you can read in
public print is concerned. The
fact has been published that Dunn
has voiced his absolute refusal,
but that apparently did not pre-
vent Mr.. Thompson of Lewiston
pilgrimage to Dunn's
bailiwick and getting it published
that he was there to persuade the
Judge to get in the swim.
The result Of his efforts have
thus far not appeared in print and
the visit of Mr.. Thompson prompt
ed the Spokesman Review, a most
potent factor in Idaho politics, to
publish an editorial characterizing
Dunn as an undesirable because
ne has some reputation as stand
patter.

BUY ONLY GOOD SEEDS
New Idaho Law Protects Against
Fraud.

/ Fraud.
Every citizen of the state VIII,
reads a newspaper has learned, M
doubt, that the last legislator,
passed an act to prevent fraud il
the sale of agricultural seeds, tina,
is' "all flower, garden, field and
grass Seeds" This act has become
law. It is now up to all good
citizens Of the state, to those who
buy and to those who sell seeds,
, as well as to the authorities, to see
that this law is enforced, says c.
r. Temple, botanist at the Idaho
Experiment station, Moscow. The
intent of the law is of the highest
order; its enforcement is worthy Of
the cooperation of every citizen.
1t is intended that the planter of
agricultural seeds in this state
shall have a knowledge of exactly
what he is planting. Without any
cost to himself he has now an op-
portunity to know the correct
name of his seeds, the amount of
the impurities. if any, the names
OF the foreign seeds and the per
cent of seeds capable of germina-
tion. To the farmer especially
should this mean much. He
knows well the strenuous means of
eradication necessary to rid his
farm OF certain weeds. However,
in the past many farmers have
bought and planted whatever
seeds their merchants offered them
regardless of purity. For example
one dealer in Michigan sold some
clover seed which was about 40
per cent narrow-leaved Plantain.
This weed is vile pest and it has
already found its way into our
state, although it came originally
from Europe. At the Nebraska
Experiment station, Prof. Wilcox
reports a sample of alfalfa seed
with more than 50 per cent of for
eign seeds in it. He also reports
lor one year IS samples Of alfalfa
seed which contained seeds of the |
Russian thistle, another bad weed
Introduced from Europe. Just as !
ong as the farmers will buy such |
impure seeds, that long will they !
De for sale; but if they refuse to
, uy those seeds that have not been
analyzed and found relatively free
rom weed seeds, dealers will
demand from the seed growers a :
better quality Of seeds and eventu.
lily the quality Of agricultural
'ee eds will be greatly improved.
A copy OF this law may be had |
lpsn application to the director Of |
he Experiment station.

SCALP WAS BADLY Affected

Il am mOr than gratified by the
successful results l obtained by the
use of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
~ affected with dandruff and scales.
MY scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell out. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruff
that had fallen from my head. My
profession being that of a barber, I
was particular about having my hair
In good condition, and was also in a
position to try many lotions, etc. for
the scalp. These had little or no ef-
feet. l had heard so much about the
Cutlcura Remedies that l resolved to
try them. I shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly, l
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. I was pleased from
the outset, and continued t. keep up
this treatment. TO think hat only
three cakes OF Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment rid my head of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite %contented.
I have now got a thick growth of hair
and | am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching Of the scalp. There
Is no question but that the Cuticura
Remedies cured me. I frequently
recommend them to my customers,
and they think q great deal Of them"

325,000 IN one YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards Of 1926 900 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton OF becoming settlers in that coun-
try. or this number about 1870, 900
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. 1t will thus be seer
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure Of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
OF immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
the United States being as large as it
is but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found unpre-
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads Of 100 acres each, rail
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis.
patch from Antwerp reads: The d.
version OF European emigration from
he United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the America-Canada line
two OF the best special emigrant
steamers afloat, the Cortland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
In the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports"
On the date of the above dispatch
word came to the immigration branch
that the vanguard of the 1911 army
of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1870 o'clock this morning.
There was a solid train load of ef-
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members of %
families. Every man Jack in the
party is a skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every
thing that experience has shown is
necessary to make a start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were a large
number of horses and cattle. Some Of
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put right
to work on ground breaking."
One of the agents of the Canadian
government advises that it would ap-
pear as if each month of the present
year would show a large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature of the department, describ-
ing the country and it's resources, is
greater than it ever has been.
