any time during a specified period,
the Press paid their fares to and
from the city on presentation of sales
slips of its advertisers aggregating
certain amounts for different dis
tances. The merchants entered in
to the spirit of the occasion and
all gave bargain sales during that
period. During the first week, sales
slips totalling purchases of thous-
ands of dollars were handed in at
the Press Office. People from cities
SO miles from Portland took advant-
age of these cut prices.
The latter scheme could, however,
only be applied to Dover upon a
small Scale. Some merchants here
have already tried this scheme by
giving car tickets to outside pur-
chasers. By far the better scheme,
however, and the more permanent,
is the one used in Dow

Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1911-02-04

After Guiding the police of 3
states, Bill Thomas, who made his
escape from the penltentiary here
in 1908, has been captured in
Teller, Colo, while working in
the mines there, and is now in
Jail in Creole, Colo. Dan Ackley
deputy warden, who was shot by
Jim Tannum, the bad Indian,
who was himself killed in Oregon
some months ago, left Wednesday
for Creole, and will bring Thomas
back with him.
Thomas was sent up from FL
more county in 1907 for term
of IL years for attempting to
murder James Paul, whom he
shot through the arm. While
working with gang on new
ditch, about a mile above the
penitentiary, one day early in
1908, Thomas made his escape in
company with Dell Valley.
Information was at one time
obtained of Thomas in Nevada
and again in Utah, but he was
successful in evading arrest.
He went to the Colorado min
ing camp about six months ago
and secured employment in a
mine at Teller. 1t is said that
chance remarks which he dropped
eventually found their way to the
ears of the police and Thomas
was placed under arrest and ia
ken to the county seat, which is
Creole. Information was sent
to Warden Shook of the Idaho
penitentiary that Thomas was un-
der arrest and Ackley was sent
for him, leaving on the 2 o'clock
train Thursday morning.

To Make Grabbing Machines

Caldwell, Jan. 27,-Dr Walters
of Mountain Home met with a
committee of the Commercial
club, for the purpose of placing
a proposition befofe them for in
stalling a factory to manufacture
a machine for grubbing sagebrush
The project was thoroughly can
vassed by the committee and it
was decided to refer the matter
to the committee on manufactures
for a more thorough investiga-
ton. Those of the committee
who were present spoke very ia
vorably of the project. If the
project bears the scrutiny of the
manufacturing committee the fac
tory will soon be reality.

MANY BRIDGE
BILLS INTRODUCED

State bridges carrying with
them liberal appropriations from
the state treasury, are in demand
during the present session of the
legislature for there are more
bridge bills before both houses at
the present time than there were
/ introduced during the entire SEES
sion two Years ago. The turn Of
political events, say legislators
who are Judging from the actions
of the senate, through the com
bmation formed to pass bridge
measures, is taken to indicate
that all measures of this kind
will be passed by the legislature
and put up to Governor James
II. Hawley. He will either have
to veto or affix his signature to
them. The turning down of any
OF the bills and the responsibility
attached to this action, will there
fore rest with the chief executive
and not the individual members
of the two houses or the MAORI
ty party. Governor Hawley, how
ever, is said to look with favor
upon all bridge measures, be
lieving that they are needed by
the respective localities asking
for them.
The senate passed three bridge
bills last week. 1t is claimed
that owing to the combination
which now exists all bridge bills
introduced in the upper house
will receive the sanction of the
23 toga wearers. As the meas
ures come from both republican
and democratic origin, party pol
tiles appear to have been relega-
ted to the rear, the senators de-
Gliding that rather than fight the
measures, it would be policy to
pass them without opposition.
This attitude is responsible for
the passage of the Canyon coun-
ty bridge bill, the Elmore-O wyhee
and the Custer county measures,
by the senate.
The Casual Lincoln and the Lin
Falls measures are still
ON the calendar in the senate |
for consideration, having been in
troduced some time ago. The |
Fremont and Nez Perez measures
are slated for introduction this
week. The latter has the indol
ment of the Commercial club of |
Lewiston, while the Commercial
club of Charleston will petition
the Washington legislature to ap-
the same amount as the
Idaho legislature for the expense
attached to the bridge, which
will therefore become an Idaho
Washington county proposition.
The League Of Commercial
Jlubs of the upper Snake river
Jalley has Endorsed the Fremont
county bridge with the following
resolution: |.
Whereas, Star valley, in Wy
ming, is inhabited by a progress
i've people of considerable num-
'ers, whose natural outlet for

A Humble Apology to the New
Timer From One Seeking
Information.

In the last number of the New
Time, the editor heaps all the pre-
fessional, editorial and CONNER
cial Billingsgate at his command
on our unprotected head. w.
refrain from quoting it here, pur'
ly as a matter of decency. W.
have no right to complain, how
ever, as we have to admit thai
we did misquote his paper, though
it was unintentional, and we hum
bly, beg his pardon and sincerely
hope that the dire calamity he
foresees as consequence, may
by some unforeseen providence
be averted.
We SAID that if the Attorney
General had answered the New
Timers question as to whether
it made any difference to the tax
payers, if the Board of Trustees
paid $40 per month rent for a
room in which to hold village
meetings, or used their own room
and paid $40 per month for a
janitor, that the New Timer
would have followed it up by the
equally intelligent question as to
whether section 225, regulating
the actions of persons ON Village
Boards would regulate the actions
Of people NOT on Village Boards.
What we SHOULD have said,
and meant to say was, if the At
torney General had answered the
New Timers question relative to
section 225, the New Timer would
undoubtedly have followed it by
the equally intelligent question as
to the janitor services and rent
proposition. Both questions re-
lated to the action of the Village
Board, one in paying Cyrus Carr
$40 per month as janitor, the
other to appointing 0. E. Norell
Clerk Of the Village Board. We
inadvertently got the one before
the other, and thereby gave the
impression that he asked advice
of the Attorney General on the
$40 per month janitor job instead
of the $15 per month clerk IS job,
and thus we have caused such
dire distress to the New Timer.
But row we are all agreed, We
frankly say we were in the wron
We misquoted the New Tines
we are sorry for it. We are also
sorry for the New Timer. We
know if we had been misquoted,
thereby making it appear that
We had sought advice from the
Attorney General on a $40 per
month job when in reality, it
was on a $15 per month job, we
would feel just as bad as the
New Timer does.
But, not owning a newspaper,
we would have to bear it all by
our lonely selves, while he can
nflict ON his readers THIRTEEN
paragraphs of self praise, such as
1.-THE New Time is the only
paper in Mountain Home that
iares tell the people the whole
ruth, ."The New Time has
he largest circulation" etc.
Of course, in the case of such
serious consequences as would
naturally result from being mis-
quoted as above, we can not find
t in our heart to censure him for
hitting part of his troubles ON
o his readers. He surely has
left for one New Timer.
The danger, however, in that
course lies i'm the fact that seeing
hose and kindred paragraphs of
elf praise appearing with such
regularity in his own
'aper, he is apt to get to believe
hem himself.
Hoping the New Timer and the
General public will accept our
apology we are

Mrs. Benjamin. Whitaker, a
woman of New York City, who
takes time to investigate the need
of children, is conducting a noon
day lunch for school children of
the poorer districts. Many of
these children, she states, have
not been getting enough to eat.
This lunch is conducted on a
scientific plan, the tickets being
purchased in the morning, so that
only the proper amount need be
prepared. The meals consist of a
large bowl of meat and vegetable
soup and two slices of bread, and
cost only three and half cents.
In localities where it is neces-
sary for children to take lunches,
the same should be discussed free
ly at Mothers Clubs and Teach
ers Meetings. Much impaired
digestion could be prevented if
only thought and preparation &C.
companied the food stuffs to the
dinner pail.
Much excitement has lately
spread throughout Wallowa coun-
ty, Washington. on account of
two persons, a dozen dogs and a
great number of sheep having
been bitten by coyotes affected
with rabies. A posse of men and
boys secured the country hunt
ing for coyotes and were success
full in killing many, though sheep
men and ranchers state there are
still many lurking about after the
searches are over and hiding in
the deep recesses of rocky cav
erns. The bounty on coyotes in
Washington and Oregon is three
dollars, though efforts are being
made to raise it to five dollars.
The bounty in Idaho is only one
dollar. Are they less destruc-
tive here than elsewhere?
